issued to such Grantor (i) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) by any third Person and the face amount of such promissory note or other instrument is in excess of $5,000,000, in each such case such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or with the consent of the applicable Grantor, and subject to Section 4.22 of the Indenture, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or other Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after giving the Grantor five Business Days’ notice, the Notes Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Notes Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens and maintenance as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Notes Collateral Documents.

(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person with a value in excess of $5,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Notes Collateral Agent. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(g) Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and material obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

(h) None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral (or any part thereof) or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral (or any part thereof), except as permitted by the Indenture. Subject to the immediately following sentence, none of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral (or any part thereof) and each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it, except (i) as permitted by Sections 4.10 and 4.12 of the Indenture and (ii) for any such Collateral as may be in transit or out for repair or maintenance, maintained with customers, or in possession of employees, in each case in the ordinary course of business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall not permit any Inventory or Goods to be in the possession or control of any warehouseman, agent, bailee, or processor at any time unless (x) such Inventory is in transit at such time, (y) the aggregate fair value of the Inventory or Goods in the possession of or subject to the control of such Person is less than $25,000,000 or (z) such Person shall have been notified of the Security Interest and shall have acknowledged in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor holds the Inventory or Goods for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent subject to the Security Interest and shall act upon the instructions of the Notes Collateral Agent without further consent from the Grantor, and that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor further agrees to waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise, in each case, except as permitted by the Indenture.

Section 4.04. Other Actions. In order to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Notes Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest in accordance with the terms hereof, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. Each Grantor represents and warrants that each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper with a value in excess of $5,000,000 in existence on the date hereof has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments or Chattel Paper with a value in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Notes Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Notes Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Notes Collateral Agent, shall take such action as the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal

Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as applicable, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record; provided that no Grantor shall be required to take any action described above in this clause (b) unless the aggregate amount payable to the Grantors evidenced by Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in which the Notes Collateral Agent has not been vested control within the meaning of the statutes described above in this clause (b) exceeds $5,000,000. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Notes Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Notes Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9- 105 or, as applicable, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

(c) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor in an amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Notes Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Notes Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Notes Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Notes Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $5,000,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Patent which constitutes Article 9 Collateral that is material to the conduct of its business would become invalidated or dedicated to the public.

(b) Each Grantor will, for each Trademark which constitutes Article 9 Collateral and is material to the conduct of its business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark to the extent necessary and sufficient in its reasonable business judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable law, (iii) display such Trademark with appropriate notice to the extent necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use such Trademark in any violation of any third party rights.

(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright which constitutes Article 9 Collateral and is material to the conduct of its business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business could reasonably be expected to become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) In the event any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application with respect to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall promptly but in no event more than 45 days thereafter, inform the Notes Collateral Agent and execute and deliver a grant of security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright in the form of Exhibits II, III or IV, as applicable, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings as are reasonably necessary for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, and premium, if any, on the Notes, and all other Notes Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 7.03 hereof and in the other provisions of the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Documents which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and under the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Documents are paid in full.

(f) Each Grantor will take all reasonably necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each registration or application that is material to the conduct of its business relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights in the Article 9 Collateral (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) including (a) timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees; (b) if consistent with good business judgment initiating opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties; and (c) refraining from the abandonment of any filing of affidavit of use or any application of renewal prior to the exhaustion of all administrative and judicial remedies.

(g) In the event that any Grantor knows that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business is or has been infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, prosecute its rights in such Intellectual Property diligently, including promptly suing for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution (and taking any actions required by applicable law prior to instituting such suit), and taking such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, or require any Grantor to pursue any claim of infringement, misappropriation or dilution, if (x) such Grantor so determines in its good business judgment and (y) it is not prohibited by the Indenture.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Remedies upon Default. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent on demand (it being understood and agreed that each Grantor’s obligation to deliver Collateral is of the essence to this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation), and it is agreed that the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Notes Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, and (c) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Notes Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Grantor in respect of such Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Notes Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, valuation, extension, moratorium, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Notes Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Notes Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Notes Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Notes Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Notes Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Notes Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, extension, moratorium, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and, in respect of a bid by any Secured Party, may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Notes Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Notes Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Notes Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Notes Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.02. Application of Proceeds. (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the Notes Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral pursuant to this Article V, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by, and all indemnity and fee obligations owed to, the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with, or pursuant to, this Agreement, any other Notes Collateral Document or any of the Notes Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Notes Collateral Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Collateral Document;

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Notes Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in Section 5.02(d) hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Notes Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Notes Obligations, its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (ii), inclusive, and following the termination of the security interests created pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of Section 7.13(a) hereof, to the relevant Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Parties’ portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party’s Notes Obligations and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Notes Obligations.

(c) If any payment to any Secured Party of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Notes Obligations of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Creditor whose Notes Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Notes Obligations of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Notes Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.

(d) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Notes Collateral Agent, as Representative for the Secured Parties.

(e) It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Notes Obligations.

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have sole and absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Notes Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Notes Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Notes Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Section 5.03. Grant of License To Use Intellectual Property. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, each Grantor shall grant to the Notes Collateral Agent an irrevocable absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document which may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or similar registrar in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in any registered Intellectual Property and each application for such registration, and record the same. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Notes Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to the Intellectual Property, vested in the Notes Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the Notes Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in this Section 5.03 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) take and use or sell the Intellectual Property; (iii) take and use or sell the goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks or Domain Names have been used; (iv) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents that the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or applicable Domain Name registrar to the Notes Collateral Agent and provide reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; and (v) with respect to any Grantor’s rights under any Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License, and each Grantor’s rights under Patent License, Copyright License or Trademark License shall inure to the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent, solely to the extent permitted by such license as it pertains to the Collateral, in each case solely during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default along with the intention to take enforcement action pursuant to the Indenture, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Notes Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Notes Collateral Agent or its designee.

Section 5.04. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Stock, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Stock permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Notes Collateral Agent if the Notes Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Stock, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Stock could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Notes Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Stock under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Notes Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Stock, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Stock for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Notes Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Stock or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Notes Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Stock at a price that the Notes Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Notes Collateral Agent sells the Pledged Stock.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Grantors may have under applicable law (but in each case subject to Section 6.03 and Section 11.01(d) of the Indenture), the Company agrees in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Company shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the fair value of the assets so sold.

Section 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (other than the Company with respect to its own Notes Obligations) agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that to the extent that a Grantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worths of the Grantors on the date the

respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder with proceeds of the Collateral, such Grantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Grantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Grantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.03 hereof and Section 11.01(d) of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Grantor that is released from the Indenture in accordance with the express provisions of Section 7.13(b) hereof and Section 11.05 of the Indenture shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 6.02, and at the time of any such release, the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Grantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided herein) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Grantors. The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor to the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Grantor shall remain liable to the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Grantor hereunder.

Section 6.03. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Notes Obligations, and no Grantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Company or any other Grantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Notes Obligations, nor shall any Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Grantor in respect of payments made by such Grantor hereunder (or paid with proceeds of collateral of such Grantor hereunder), until all amounts owing to the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Notes Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor on account of such contribution or subrogation rights at any time when all of the Notes Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Notes Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Notes Collateral Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Notes Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) of, or guaranteed by, such Grantor and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Notes Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Notes Collateral Agent may determine.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture, provided that any communication or notice hereunder from the Notes Collateral Agent to any Grantor upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantors shall be given to it in care of the Company as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture.

Section 7.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have been effected in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent of the Holders required in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.

Section 7.03. Notes Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that U.S. Bank National Association (and any of its sub-agents) shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 7.06 of the Indenture.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the Indenture and any other Notes Collateral Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Notes Collateral Agent (and any of its sub-agents), each other Secured Party and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, affiliates (including without limitation, controlling persons), successors, partners, representatives, trustees and assignees (hereinafter in this Section 7.03 referred to individually as “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related out-of- pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction to such Indemnitees (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Indemnitee may retain its own counsel), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Grantor shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Notes Obligations secured hereby and by the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Notes Collateral Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Notes Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor.

Section 7.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Notes Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Notes Collateral Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Notes Collateral Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Notes Collateral Documents, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Notes Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Indenture, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any fee or any other amount payable under the Indenture or any other Notes Collateral Document is outstanding and unpaid.

Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Notes Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Notes Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent, the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest in this Agreement or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except in accordance with Section 13.08 of the Indenture. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 7.07. Severability. Any provision in this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.08. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the terms of the Indenture, each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor against any of and all the obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Secured Party shall notify the Company, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 7.08. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

Section 7.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTES COLLATERAL DOCUMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTES COLLATERAL DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFORE- MENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED

COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AT ITS ADDRESS, AS INDICATED, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE NOTES COLLATERAL AGENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE PARTIES HEREUNDER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER NOTES COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY

Section 7.11. Headings. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 7.12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Notes Collateral Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Notes Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Notes Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Notes Collateral Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Notes Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Notes Obligations or this Agreement (other than a release of any Grantor in accordance with Section 7.13).

Section 7.13. Termination or Release. (a) After the Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation in Section 7.03 hereof, shall survive such termination) and the Notes Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective Grantor, will promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor a proper instrument or instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Notes Collateral Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than a Grantor) or is otherwise released pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Indenture at any time prior to the Termination Date, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or such other applicable Notes Collateral Document, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of such Grantor, will duly release from the security interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event that any Subsidiary Guarantor or a Subsidiary thereof is released from its Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 11.05 of the Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor (and the Collateral at such time assigned by such Grantor pursuant hereto) shall, upon such release, be released from this Agreement.

(c) At any time that a Grantor desires that the Notes Collateral Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 7.13(a) or (b), such Grantor shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of such Grantor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.13(a) or (b) and any documents required by the Indenture. At any time that the Company or the respective Grantor desires that the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company which has been released from its Note Guarantee be released hereunder as provided in Section 11.05 of the Indenture and the last sentence of Section 7.13(b), it shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the Company and the respective Grantor stating that the release of the respective Grantor (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.13(b) and any documents required by the Indenture.

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Notes Collateral Agent in good faith believed to be in accordance with) this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14. Additional Subsidiaries. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of Section 4.16 of the Indenture, each Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, to the extent such entities remain Immaterial Subsidiaries, or any

Unrestricted Subsidiary) that was not in existence or not a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary on the date of the Indenture, is required to enter in this Agreement as a Grantor upon becoming such a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery by the Notes Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto and a supplemental indenture as set forth in the Indenture, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.15. Notes Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Notes Collateral Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Notes Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until the Termination Date) and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of this Agreement, with full power of substitution either in the Notes Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Notes Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Notes Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, provided that nothing in this Agreement contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Notes Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Notes Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them in this Agreement, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 7.16. Further Assurances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.20 of the Indenture.

Section 7.17. Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Notes Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Indenture, the provisions of which shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth in their entirety herein. Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to the provisions of Article 10 of the Indenture, including as the same applies to the actions of the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder.

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Notes Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Notes Collateral Agent other than to account for money received, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Notes Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Notes Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Notes Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iii) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (iv) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (v) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vi) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (viii) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (ix) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (x) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Notes Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Notes Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Notes Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Notes Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this 7.17 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Notes Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Notes Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.17. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.17 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Notes Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.17.

(c) The Grantors and the Notes Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Accounts, that certain of the Accounts may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Account may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to an Account. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Account, accept in full payment of any Account such amount as the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Account, and any such action by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Notes Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 7.18. Intercreditor Agreements Govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is outstanding, any requirement hereunder to deliver Collateral (as such term is defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) to the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to the Applicable Authorized Representative (to the extent that the Applicable Authorized Representative is not the Notes Collateral Agent) (as such term is defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

Exhibit I to the

Collateral Agreement

SUPPLEMENT NO. (this “Supplement”) dated as of [ ], to the Collateral Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”), among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ COAL COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each other subsidiary of the Company from time to time party thereto (each such subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Notes collateral agent (together with any successor collateral agent, the “Notes Collateral Agent”).

Reference is made to the Indenture dated as of December 16, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Collateral Agreement referred to therein.

Section 4.16 of the Indenture and Section 7.14 of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Company may become Grantors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement.

Accordingly, the Notes Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

In accordance with Section 7.14 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date). In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Notes Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Notes Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally any by principles of equity.

This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Notes Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that set forth under its signature hereto is, as of the date hereof, (i) the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, (ii) its jurisdiction of formation, (iii) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or its organizational identification number (if any) and (iv) the location of its chief executive office. The New Subsidiary hereby further represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, Schedule I hereto accurately sets forth all information which would have been required pursuant to the Schedules to the Collateral Agreement had the New Subsidiary been a Grantor on the date of the execution and delivery of the Collateral Agreement (it being understood and agreed, however, that the information so furnished by the New Subsidiary is accurate as of the date of this Supplement rather than the date of the Collateral Agreement).

Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Any provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and in the Collateral Agreement; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Collateral Agreement.

The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of- pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Notes Collateral Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Notes Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
