(2) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity Interests set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of Schedule I hereto and issued by the Persons named therein (the “Initial Pledged Equity”) and of the indebtedness set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part II of Schedule I hereto and issued by the obligors named therein (the “Initial Pledged Debt”).

(3) Each Grantor is the owner of the deposit accounts set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II hereto (the “Pledged Deposit Accounts”).

(4) The Borrower will open a collateral account with the Collateral Agent or one of its Affiliates, at its address in New York, New York (the “Collateral Account”), under the control and dominion of the Collateral Agent and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(5) It is a condition precedent to the making of Advances and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement and the entry into Secured Hedge Agreements by the Hedge Banks from time to time that the Grantors shall have granted the security interest contemplated by this Agreement. Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(6) Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable.

The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(b) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security, the relevant Grantor will, at the request of the Collateral Agent, if such issuer is a Subsidiary of such Grantor (or, if otherwise, use commercially reasonable efforts to), cause the issuer thereof to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (such agreement being an “Uncertificated Security Control Agreement”).

(c) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes a security entitlement as to which the financial institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities intermediary with respect to such security entitlement to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a “Securities Account Control Agreement” or “Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement,” respectively) ; provided, however, this Section 4(c) shall not apply to any securities account or accounts of the Grantors to the extent the aggregate balance of such account or accounts does not exceed $1,000,000.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 15(a).

(e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Securities Collateral granted by it hereunder that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(a) Each Grantor will maintain deposit accounts only with the financial institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder or with a bank (a “Pledged Account Bank”) that has agreed with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent to (i) comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in such deposit account without the further consent of such Grantor and (ii) waive or subordinate, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, in favor of the Collateral Agent all claims of such Pledged Account Bank to such deposit account, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a “Deposit Account Control Agreement”); provided, however, this Section 5(a) shall not apply to any deposit accounts of the Grantors to the extent the aggregate balance of such account or accounts does not exceed $1,000,000.

(b) The Collateral Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, any Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Pledged Deposit Accounts or the Collateral Account to satisfy such Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the Collateral Account. The Borrower will use its best efforts to establish the Collateral Account within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date.

(o) As to itself and its Intellectual Property Collateral:

(i) The material aspects of the operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted and the use of the Intellectual Property Collateral in connection therewith do not conflict with, infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party.

(iii) The Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule IV hereto includes all of the patents, patent applications, domain names, trademark registrations and applications, copyright registrations and applications and material IP Agreements owned by such Grantor as of the date hereof.

(iv) The Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part, and to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable. Such Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that could be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable.

(v) Such Grantor has made or performed all commercially reasonable acts, including without limitation filings, recordings and payment of all required fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect in the United States.

(vi) Other than the Disclosed Litigation, no claim, action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding has been asserted or is pending or threatened against such Grantor (i) based upon or challenging or seeking to deny or restrict the Grantor’s rights in or use of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, (ii) alleging that the Grantor’s rights in or use of the Intellectual Property Collateral or that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold by, such Grantor infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate any patent, trademark, copyright or any other proprietary right of any third party, or (iii) alleging that the Intellectual Property Collateral is being licensed or sublicensed in violation or contravention of the terms of any license or other agreement. To the knowledge of the Grantor, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, misuses or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property Collateral or the Grantor’s rights in or use thereof. Except as set forth on Schedule IV hereto and except as otherwise permitted by any Loan Document, such Grantor has not granted any license, release, covenant not to ▇▇▇, non-assertion assurance, or other right to any Person with respect to any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

Section 9. Further Assurances. (a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary, or that the Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect (to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement, the recordation of a security agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office or by the execution of a control agreement (to the extent that the execution of such control agreement is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement)) and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor will promptly with respect to Collateral of such Grantor: (i) execute or authenticate and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor hereunder; and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence that all other actions that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor under this Agreement has been taken.

Section 10. As to FCC Licenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to take any and all necessary and appropriate actions to preserve such Grantor’s rights in, to or under, or relating to, any license, permit or other authorization (each, an “FCC License”) issued by the Federal Communications Commission and any federal agency succeeding to its jurisdiction (the “FCC”) and to otherwise prevent any modification, revocation, suspension, cancellation, or refusal by the FCC to renew any of the FCC Licenses except to the extent such modification, revocation, suspension, cancellation or refusal could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To that end, each Grantor shall execute any and all documents required by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, and to provide any information within its possession reasonably requested by any of the foregoing, to ensure that any and all applications, reports, and other filings are made with the FCC or any other governmental authority in a timely fashion and that no action is taken by the FCC, any court, or any Governmental Authority which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, or any of the documents executed pursuant hereto, the Collateral Agent will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement, or any such documents, which would constitute or result in any assignment of any FCC License or any transfer of control of the holder of any FCC License if such assignment of such License or such transfer of control would require under then existing law (including the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”) or the rules, regulations and published orders of the FCC (the “FCC Rules”)) the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining such approval. In connection with this Section 10, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of FCC counsel of the Collateral Agent’s choice with respect to such assignment or transfer (including to determine whether any such assignment or transfer has occurred or will occur and whether or not prior approval of the FCC is required).

(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the relevant Grantor shall take any action which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement in order to transfer or assign, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the FCC Licenses pursuant to such exercise of remedies. To enforce the provisions of this Section 10, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is empowered to request, and each Grantor agrees to authorize, the appointment of a receiver or trustee from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver or trustee shall be instructed to seek from the FCC (and any other Governmental Authority), its consent to or approval of any assignment of the FCC Licenses of, or transfer of control of any or all of the FCC Licenses of, any Person whose stock, partnership interests, other securities or other Collateral is subject to this Agreement to the extent required for such trustee or receiver to assume such control for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom such FCC Licenses ultimately will be assigned or control of such entity ultimately will be transferred. Each Grantor agrees, at such Grantor’s own cost and expense, to cooperate with any such purchaser and with the Collateral Agent in the preparation, execution and filing of any applications and other documents and providing any information that may be necessary or helpful in obtaining the FCC’s consent to the assignment or transfer to such purchaser of the FCC Licenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees to cooperate with the Collateral Agent to consent to and authorize any such transfer of control or assignment upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and, without limiting any rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, to authorize the Collateral Agent to nominate a trustee or receiver to assume control of the FCC Licenses, subject only to any required consents, approvals or orders of courts of competent jurisdiction, the FCC or other Governmental Authorities, for the purpose of effectuating the transactions contemplated in this Section 10. Such trustee or receiver shall have all the rights and powers as provided to it by law, court order or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor shall cooperate fully and use commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining the consent of the FCC and the approval or consent of each other Governmental Authority required to effectuate the foregoing.

(d) Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in obtaining consent or approval of the FCC, any court and any other Governmental Authority, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with the FCC of the transferor’s or Grantor’s portion of any application or applications for consent to the transfer of control or assignment necessary or appropriate under the FCC’s orders, rules and regulations for approval of the transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

(e) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral is a unique asset and that a violation of such Grantor’s covenant to cooperate with respect to the obtainment of any regulatory consents would result in irreparable harm to the Collateral Agent for which monetary damages are not readily ascertainable. Each Grantor further agrees that, because of the unique nature of its undertakings in this Section 10, the same may be specifically enforced, and such Grantor hereby waives, and agrees to waive, any claim or defense that the Collateral Agent would have an adequate remedy at law for the breach of such undertakings and any requirement for the posting of bond or other security. This Section 10 shall not be deemed to limit any other rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders available under applicable law and consistent with the Communications Act and the FCC Rules.

Section 11. As to Local Licenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees that, in the event of any change in any requirement of law occurring after the date hereof that affects in any material respect the Collateral Agent’s rights of access to, or use or sale of any certificate of public convenience and necessity or such other license, permit or authorization (each, a “Local License”) issued by the Governmental Authority of any State where such Local Licenses are required to conduct its telecommunications business (the “Local Authorities”) or the procedures necessary to enable the Grantor to obtain such rights of access, use or sale (including, without limitation, changes allowing greater such access), each Grantor upon request of the Collateral Agent, shall enter into discussions to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request and use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such amendment to take account of such changes consistent with then-applicable requirements of law including, without limitation, any local telecommunications and public utility regulations (the “Local Regulations”).

(b) Each Grantor agrees to take any and all necessary and appropriate actions to preserve the Local Licenses and to otherwise prevent any modification, revocation, suspension or cancellation of any of the Local Licenses except to the extent such preservation, modification, revocation, suspension or cancellation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To that end, each Grantor shall execute any and all documents required by the Local Authorities or any other governmental authority or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, and to provide any information within its possession reasonably requested by any of the foregoing, to ensure that any and all applications, reports, and other filings are made with the Local Authorities or any other governmental authority in a timely fashion and that no action is taken by the Local Authorities, any court, or any Governmental Authority which could have a material adverse effect on any of the Local Licenses.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement, or any such Loan Document, which would constitute or result in a transfer, directly or indirectly, of any Local License if such transfer would require under then-existing law the prior approval of the Local Authorities, without first obtaining such approval. In connection with this Section 11, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of Local Authorities counsel of the Collateral Agent’s choice with respect to such transfer (including to determine whether or not prior approval of the Local Authorities is required) whether or not the advice rendered is ultimately determined to have been accurate.

(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the relevant Grantor shall take any action which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement in order to transfer or assign, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Local Licenses pursuant to such exercise of remedies. To enforce the provisions of this Section 11, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is empowered to request, and each Grantor agrees to authorize, the appointment of a receiver or trustee from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver or trustee shall be instructed to seek from the Local Authorities

(and any other Governmental Authority), its consent to or approval of any transfer of any or all of the Local Licenses of any Person whose stock, partnership interests, other securities or other Collateral is subject to this Agreement to the extent required for such trustee or receiver to assume such control for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom such Local Licenses ultimately will be transferred. Each Grantor agrees, at such Grantors own cost and expense, to cooperate with any such purchaser and with the Collateral Agent in the preparation, execution and filing of any applications and other documents and providing any information that may be necessary or helpful in obtaining the Local Authorities’ consent to the transfer to such purchaser of any of the Local Licenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees to cooperate with the Collateral Agent to consent to and authorize any such transfer upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and, without limiting any rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, to authorize the Collateral Agent to nominate a trustee or receiver to assume control of the Local Licenses, subject only to any required consents, approvals or orders of courts of competent jurisdiction, the Local Authorities or other Governmental Authorities, for the purpose of effectuating the transactions contemplated in this Section 11. Such trustee or receiver shall have all the rights and powers as provided to it by law, court order or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor shall cooperate fully and use commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining the consent of the Local Authorities and the approval or consent of each other Governmental Authority required to effectuate the foregoing.

(e) Each Grantor shall use its best efforts to assist in obtaining consent or approval of the Local Authorities, any court and any other Governmental Authority, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with the Local Authorities of the transferor’s or Grantor’s portion of any application or applications for consent to the transfer or assignment necessary or appropriate under the Local Regulations for approval of the transfer of any of the Local Licenses.

(f) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral is a unique asset and that a violation of such Grantor’s covenant to cooperate with respect to the obtainment of any regulatory consents would result in irreparable harm to the Collateral Agent for which monetary damages are not readily ascertainable. Each Grantor further agrees that, because of the unique nature of its undertakings in this Section 11, the same may be specifically enforced, and such Grantor hereby waives, and agrees to waive, any claim or defense that the Collateral Agent would have an adequate remedy at law for the breach of such undertakings and any requirement for the posting of bond or other security. This Section 11 shall not be deemed to limit any other rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders available under applicable law and consistent with the Local Regulations.

Section 12. Insurance. (a) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to its Equipment and Inventory with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts (subject to such self-insurance retentions or deductibles), and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which such Grantor operates. Each policy of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Collateral Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear. Each such policy shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Collateral Agent as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii) name the Collateral Agent as loss payee, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Each Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, each Grantor will, at the request of the Collateral Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 12 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 12 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 12 is not applicable, the applicable Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance properly received by or released to such Grantor shall be used by such Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder or by the Credit Agreement, to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment will be (i) to the extent applicable, used by the relevant Grantor in accordance with the reinvestment provisions set forth in clause (j) of the definition of Excluded Asset Sale in the Credit Agreement, (ii) applied to prepay the Facilities in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) of the Credit Agreement and (iii) thereafter, to the extent that any amount of such insurance payments remains, such remaining amount shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account as additional security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and shall, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor to be applied as set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as specified in Section 23(b).

Section 13. Post-Closing Changes; Collections on Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. (a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Section 8(a) of this Agreement without first giving at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and taking all action required by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Assigned Agreements and Related Contracts, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, (i) to notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent and (ii) to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, (iii) upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and (iv) to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from

the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral Account and either (i) released to such Grantor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 14. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority, necessary to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of, allow to lapse, or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the Collateral Agent.

(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if such Grantor becomes aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral.

Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. At the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, each Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property acquired during such fiscal quarter, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

Section 15. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a Material Adverse Effect.

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 24.

Section 22. The Collateral Agent’s Duties.

In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

Section 23. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) Subject to Sections 10 and 11 hereof and any restriction under applicable law with respect to any FCC License or Local License, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given, except as may be required by any applicable regulatory and legal requirements, including any approvals required under the Communications Act, the FCC Rules, the Local Regulations or any other applicable communications laws (the “Required Approvals”). The Collateral Agent may, to the extent permitted under the terms of any Required Approvals, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without

further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Notwithstanding anything herein which may be construed to the contrary, no action shall be taken by the Collateral Agent to enforce its security interest granted hereunder (i) in accordance with this Agreement that requires the consent or approval of the FCC or Local Authorities unless and until all requirements of applicable law, including without limitation, any required approval, or any notification required to be given, under the Communications Act or Local Regulations have been satisfied and (ii) with respect to the FCC Licenses or Local Licenses unless and until an Event of Default exists and all requirements of applicable law, including, without limitation, any required approval, or any notification required to be given, under the Communications Act or Local Regulations, have been satisfied.

(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(c) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

(d) The Collateral Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such Agreement; provided, however, that until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent will not (i) originate any orders, notices, drafts, withdrawals, requests, directions, entitlement orders or other instructions directing disposition of the funds in, or directing transfer or redemption of the financial assets relating to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement or (ii) send any such Notice of Exclusive Control under any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement terminating the rights of such Grantor to originate any orders, notices, drafts, withdrawals, requests, directions, entitlement orders or other instructions directing disposition of the funds in, or directing transfer or redemption of the financial assets relating to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement; provided further that, with respect to any such notice described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Collateral Agent will, promptly after receiving a certificate duly executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying that the Event of Default that permitted the giving of such notice has been cured or otherwise is no longer continuing, revoke such notice.

(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(f) Any payment received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the proceeds of any RTFC patronage capital allocation pursuant to this Security Agreement shall, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, be paid to RTFC (and not to any other Secured Party) until the principal of any interest on, and all other amounts payable in respect of, the Revolving Credit Advances payable to RTFC shall have been paid in full.

Section 24. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, to the same extent and on the same terms as set forth in Section 10.04(b) of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, to the same extent and on the same terms as set forth in Section 10.04(a) of the Credit Agreement.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

Section 28. Release; Termination.
