Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except

-20-

that payments pursuant to Sections 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, then unless otherwise provided with respect to such payment, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall be under no obligation to do so), distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

-21-

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender with respect to Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender with respect to Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made with respect to Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non Consenting Lender by deeming such Non Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans hereunder to one or more assignees; provided, that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non Consenting Lender

-22-

concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within three Business Days after Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

SECTION 2.20. AHYDO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if (1) the Loans remain outstanding after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) the aggregate amount of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of any Testing Date (as defined below) occurring after such fifth anniversary exceeds an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual (as defined below), then all such accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of such time in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual shall be paid in cash by the Borrower to the Lenders on such Testing Date, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the Loans will not be treated as an “applicable high yield debt obligation” under Sections 163(e)(5) and Section 163(i) of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. For these purposes, the “Maximum Accrual” is an amount equal to the product of the Loans’ issue price (as defined in Code Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) and their yield to maturity, and a “Testing Date” is any regularly scheduled date on which interest is required to be paid hereunder and the date on which any “accrual period” (within the meaning of Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) closes. Any accrued interest which for any reason has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on the Loans is made.

SECTION 2.21. OID. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that: (i) the Loans are debt for federal income tax purposes; (ii) the Loans of each Lender constitute a single debt instrument for purposes of Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(c)), such debt instrument is treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”) solely as a result of the PIK Interest, and such debt instrument is described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c)(2) and therefore is governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c), including Section 1.1272-1(c)(5), and is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4; (iii) any calculation by the Borrower regarding the amount of OID for any accrual period on the Loans shall be subject to the review and approval of the Lenders; and (iv) they will adhere to this Agreement for federal income tax purposes and not take any action or file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith unless otherwise required due to a change in law. The inclusion of this Section 2.21 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to United States taxation.

ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.01. Appointment.

(a) Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (i) the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (ii) as the Collateral Agent as the agent of such Lender and the

-38-

other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of Holdings and the Borrower to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In connection therewith, any Subagent appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 or any agent appointed by the Administrative Agent as permitted hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) as though such Subagent or agent were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) irrevocably authorizes the Agents, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agents under any Loan Document (A) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made), (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.18 hereof. Upon request by either Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types of items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(d) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Holdings or the Borrower, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and

-39-

their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 8.02. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of Required Lenders). Should any instrument in writing from Holdings or the Borrower be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Holdings or the Borrower (as applicable) shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 8.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Holdings or the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) no

-40-

Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to a Responsible Officer of such Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, or (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral.

(b) No Agent shall be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing or any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral. The actions described in items (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower.

(c) Each Agent has accepted and is bound by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed by such Agent as of the date of this Agreement and, as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, each Agent shall execute additional Loan Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such additional Loan Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of such Agent. Each Agent will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any loan agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the Obligations (other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Agent is a party).

(d) No written direction given to any Agent by the Required Lenders or the Borrower or Holdings that in the sole judgment of such Agent imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon such Agent any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be binding upon such Agent unless such Agent elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

(e) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

-41-

(f) In no event shall any Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether such Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(g) No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of such Agent.

(h) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Agents is for informational purposes only and such Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Borrower’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder.

(i) No Agent shall be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as such Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against the Borrower or Holdings or any other obligor outside of the United States.

(j) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession, each Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and no Agent will be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by such Agent in good faith.

(k) No Agent will be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder. Each Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Obligations concerning the perfection or priority of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

(l) In the event that any Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in such Agent’s sole discretion may cause such Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause such Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, such Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. No Agent will be liable to any person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of such Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

-42-

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the Closing Date, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the Closing Date. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances provided herein) and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If any Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall require any Agent to: (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

SECTION 8.05. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of such Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Subject to Section 8.04, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

-43-

SECTION 8.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings or the Borrower or any affiliate of such person, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower or any Affiliate of such person that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

SECTION 8.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such upon demand (and, with respect to any EEA Financial Institution, such amounts shall be deemed due and payable no later than six (6) days after demand therefor) (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Loans hereunder) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, charges, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, charges, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent, the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the exercise of Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority with respect to any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution.

SECTION 8.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings and the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 8.09. Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign in its capacity as such upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If any Agent shall resign under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as such Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent or collateral agent, as applicable. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.10. [Reserved].

SECTION 8.11. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(i) if to Holdings or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such person on Schedule 9.01; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received. Notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 9.01(b) above shall be effective as provided in such Section 9.01(b).

(d) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(e) Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically (including as set forth in Section 9.17) and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link

-46-

thereto on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 9.01, or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided, that (A) the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and (B) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

(f) Each Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Borrower shall provide to each Agent an incumbency certificate listing authorized officers and containing specimen signatures of such authorized officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Borrower whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Borrower elects to give any Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Borrower understands and agrees that the Agents cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Agents shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an authorized officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to such Agent have been sent by such authorized officer. The Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such Instructions to the Agents and that the Borrower and all authorized officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Borrower. No Agent shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from such Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Borrower agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Agents, including without limitation the risk of such Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Agents and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the applicable Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: S.W.I.F.T., e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Agents, or another method or system specified by such Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Holdings and the Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, regardless of any investigation made by such persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.17 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and each Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent or, with respect to the Administrative Agent, acknowledgment (such consent or acknowledgment not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course; and

-48-

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no acknowledgment of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower made in accordance with Section 9.04(h).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1.0 million, unless the Borrower otherwise consents; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and

(D) the Assignee shall not be the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower except in accordance with Section 9.04(h).

For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to determine whether an assignee is an Approved Fund.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease

-49-

to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b)(v).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings or the Borrower or the performance or observance by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance and is not a Competitor (unless the Borrower consents to assignments to such Assignee that is a Competitor); (iv) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter

-50-

into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) the Assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or the entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person

-51-

except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent, each other party hereto and Holdings and the Borrower for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 9.04(h)), the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower may purchase by way of assignment and become an Assignee with respect to Loans at any time and from time to time from Lenders in accordance with Section 9.04(b) hereof (each, a “Permitted Loan Purchase”); provided, that, in respect of any Permitted Loan Purchase, (A) upon consummation of any such Permitted Loan Purchase, any Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and extinguished and the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent that the Register be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of the Loans purchased by such Person, (B) in connection with any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Borrower or Affiliate of the Borrower, as applicable, and such Lender that is the Assignor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance (and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) shall make the representations and warranties set forth in the Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance and (y) shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to Assignments under this Section 9.04 and (D) no Default or Event of Default would exist immediately after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Permitted Loan Purchase.

-52-

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Competitor without the prior written consent of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to determine whether an assignee is a Competitor.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by each Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral examination and the reasonable fees, disbursements and charges of counsel to the Agents) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Exchange Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Agents and, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of such additional counsel as the Agents may require, and (ii) all out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including any special and local counsel).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), imposed on incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Exchange Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings or the Borrower or any of their Affiliates; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are 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 (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a

-53-

single Indemnitee). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to Holdings or the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the resignation or removal of any Agent the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses with respect to a non-Tax claim.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

-54-

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan 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 each Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings or the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings or the Borrower in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the applicable Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(ii) decrease the fees of any Lender or Agent without the prior written consent of such Lender or Agent, as applicable,

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv) amend the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement, or any analogous provision of any other Security Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; or

(vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release Holdings or the Borrower from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender;

-55-

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

ARTICLE II

GUARANTEE

Section 2.01. Guarantee. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. The Guarantor waives presentment to, demand or payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

Section 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

Section 2.03. No Limitations, Etc. (a) Except for termination of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 7.15 and except as provided in Section 2.07, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by, and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the enforcement hereof by reason of:

(i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, increase in the Obligations with respect to, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement;

(iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations;

(iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations;

(v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all the Obligations);

(vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Obligation;

(vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of either the Borrower or the Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting such person or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Obligation;

(viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(ix) any action permitted or authorized hereunder; or

(x) any other circumstance (including without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

The Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all the Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities). The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities) have been paid in full in cash or immediately available funds. To the fullest extent

permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against the Borrower, as the case may be, or any security.

Section 2.04. Reinstatement. The Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise.

Section 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Contribution; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of such unpaid Obligation to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash or immediately available funds. Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article VI.

Section 2.06. Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of the Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 2.07. Maximum Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this guarantee, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this guarantee and the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this guarantee and the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of the Guarantor under this guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the Guarantor under this guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 2.08. Payment Free and Clear of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on the same terms and to the same extent that payments by the Borrower are required to be made pursuant to the terms of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to the Guarantor mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE III

PLEDGE OF SECURITIES

Section 3.01. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of its Obligations, each Pledgor hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under (a) the Equity Interests directly owned by it (including those listed on Schedule I) and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Pledgor and any certificates representing all such Equity Interests (the “Pledged Stock”); provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include, (i) to the extent applicable law requires that a subsidiary of such Pledgor issue directors’ qualifying shares or similar shares, such shares or nominee or other similar shares, and (ii) as of the Closing Date for so long as a pledge of Equity Interests would violate applicable law, such Equity Interests; (b)(i) the debt obligations listed opposite the name of such Pledgor on Schedule I, (ii) any debt securities in the future issued to such Pledgor and (iii) the certificates, promissory notes and any other instruments, if any, evidencing such debt securities (the “Pledged Debt Securities”); (c) subject to Section 3.05 hereof, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other proceeds received in respect of, the property referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; (d) subject to Section 3.05 hereof, all rights and privileges of such Pledgor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above; and (e) all proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Equity Interests of the Borrower shall constitute Pledged Stock and Pledged Collateral.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 3.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. (a) Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Securities to the extent such Pledged Securities are either (i) Equity Interests or (ii) promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.02. If any Pledged Stock that is uncertificated on the date hereof shall hereafter become certificated, the applicable Pledgor shall promptly cause the certificate or certificates representing Pledged Stock to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, together with the accompanying stock powers or other documentation required by Section 3.02(c). None of the Pledgors shall permit any other party to “control” (for purposes of Section 8-106 of the New York UCC (or any analogous provision of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the jurisdiction whose law applies)) any uncertificated securities that constitute Pledged Collateral other than the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties.

(b) Each Pledgor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5.0 million (other than (i) intercompany current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with the cash management operations of Holdings or the Borrower or (ii) to the extent that a pledge of such promissory note or instrument would violate applicable law) owed to such Pledgor by any person to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note that is pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent any such promissory note is a demand note, each Pledgor party thereto agrees, if requested by the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), to immediately demand payment thereunder upon an Event of Default specified under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) of the Credit Agreement unless such demand would not be commercially reasonable or would otherwise expose such Pledgor to liability to the maker.

(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02 shall be accompanied by stock powers or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be accompanied to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest in or allow realization on the Pledged Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents (including issuer acknowledgments in respect of uncertificated securities) as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule I (or a supplement to Schedule I, as applicable) and made a part hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

(d) In the event any Pledged Securities constitute uncertificated securities and the issuer thereof is not a party hereto, the applicable Pledgor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), either (i) cause such issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent without further consent of any Pledgor or (ii) cause such issuer to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such uncertificated security.

Section 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgors, jointly and severally, represent, warrant and covenant to and with the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Pledgor and (ii) a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Article 9 Collateral granted under this Agreement, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all property”.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Pledgor shall be required to take any action under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions for the purpose of perfecting the Security Interest in any Article 9 Collateral of such Pledgor constituting Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights unless required by the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), in its reasonable discretion.

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Pledgor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

(b) The information set forth in the schedules attached hereto is correct and complete, in all material respects, as of the Closing Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations containing a description of the Article 9 Collateral that have been prepared by such Pledgor for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule III constitute all the filings, recordings and registrations (except to the extent that filings are required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, or any similar office in any other jurisdiction, in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks and United States registered Copyrights) that are necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or amendments.

(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 4.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law

in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Pledgors free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. None of the Pledgors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Pledgor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Pledgor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Liens.

(e) None of the Pledgors holds any Commercial Tort Claim individually in excess of $5.0 million as of the Closing Date except as indicated on Schedule IV.

(ii) The Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part (except for office actions issued in the ordinary course by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office in any foreign jurisdiction), and, to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable.

(iii) Such Pledgor or CBI 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 and such Pledgor or CBI has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright in the Intellectual Property Collateral.

(iv) With respect to each IP License: (A) such Pledgor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such IP License; (B) such Pledgor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such IP License, which breach or default has not been cured or waived; and (C) neither such Pledgor nor any other party to such IP License is in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such IP License.

(v) No Pledgor or Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral or that would impair the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral.

Section 4.03. Covenants. (a) Each Pledgor agrees to provide at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent of any change (i) in its corporate or organization name, (ii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iii) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (iv) in its “location” (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307). Each Pledgor agrees promptly to provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Pledgor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (a) unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within any applicable statutory period, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens), for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Pledgor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent, in writing, if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Pledgor is damaged or destroyed.

(b) Subject to the rights of such Pledgor under the Loan Documents to dispose of Collateral, each Pledgor shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

(c) Each Pledgor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $5.0 million shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent (but the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to do so), with prompt notice thereof to the Pledgors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule II or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute material Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or IP Licenses; provided that any Pledgor shall have the right, exercisable within 30 days after the Borrower has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by such Pledgor hereunder with respect to such Article 9 Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Article 9 Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified by the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral.

(d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the 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 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. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Pledgor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03(e) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(f) Each Pledgor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(g) None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other provisions hereof. None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor shall remain at all times in possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other provisions hereof.

(h) None of the Pledgors will, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent (such consent to be given or withheld at the written direction of the Required Lenders) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with prudent business practices or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(i) Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Pledgor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Pledgor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or under the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Pledgors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.03(i), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

Section 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $5.0 million, such Pledgor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III, if any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Security, such Pledgor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify. If any security of a domestic issuer now owned or hereafter

acquired by any Pledgor is uncertificated and is issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent, in writing, of such uncertificated securities and (i) upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Pledgor shall pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), either (x) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such security, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, or (y) cause the issuer to register the Collateral Agent or its nominee as the registered owner of such security.

(c) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $5.0 million, such Pledgor shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Pledgor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders).

Section 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement: (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable steps with respect to any material products covered by any such Patent as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable patent laws.

(b) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark and (iii) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party rights.

(c) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each work covered by a material Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Pledgor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly, in writing, if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations or developments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Pledgor’s

ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same; provided, however, that it is understood that certain Trademarks may be subject to abandonment pursuant to Section 16.1 of the Intellectual Property Agreement, in the event of the termination or expiration of such agreement.

(e) Each Pledgor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis of each application filed by itself, or through any agent, employee, affiliate, licensee or designee, for any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each application filed by itself, or through any agent, employee, affiliate, licensee or designee, for registration of any Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country during the preceding twelve-month period, and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright.

(f) Each Pledgor shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and to maintain (i) each issued Patent and (ii) the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, including, when applicable and necessary, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Pledgor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties; provided, however, that the respective rights and obligations of the Pledgors and CBI to take such actions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Agreement.

(g) In the event that any Pledgor knows or has reason to know that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of its business has been or is about to be materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent, in writing, and shall take commercially reasonable steps to promptly ▇▇▇ and recover any and all damages, and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances; provided, however, that the respective rights and obligations of the Pledgors and CBI to take such actions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Agreement.

(h) Each Pledgor agrees to take all actions necessary to ensure that the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Intellectual Property Agreement and the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements shall at all times be a first priority perfected security interest, and no Pledgor shall permit any action to be taken (or not taken) to the extent that such action (or inaction) would impair the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Intellectual Property Agreement or the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements or the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce its remedies hereunder in relation to the Intellectual Property Agreement or Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the 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 Pledgors to the Collateral Agent or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use) and (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 the applicable Pledgor 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 applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that the 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 Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the 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 Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The 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 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 the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 5.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase in cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Pledgor 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 in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the 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. The Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows: FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by any Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including without limitation all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of

any Pledgor, any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all other fees, indemnities and other amounts owing or reimbursable to any Agent under any Loan Document in its capacity as such; SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and THIRD, to the Borrower, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Administrative Agent shall have 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 Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the 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 Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of any Obligations, any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible set-off, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent, Lender or other Secured Party and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to such Agent the Lenders, and the other Secured Parties, and shall indemnify each Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and shall hold each Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this paragraph shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to such Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the other Secured Parties’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.03. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, 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 federal 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 Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may

be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the 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 Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor 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 Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders), 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 5.03 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 Collateral Agent sells.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01. Indemnity. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantor may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03 hereof), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of any Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify the Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of the Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify the Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

Section 6.02. [Reserved].

Section 6.03. Subordination; Subrogation. (a) The Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities, receivables, advances and other Obligations owed to the Guarantor by the Borrower of whatever nature at any time outstanding (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.03:

(i) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Guarantor may receive payments, receivables or advances from the Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, however, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the Guarantor shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash or immediately available funds.

(ii) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law relating to the Borrower, the Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (Post-Petition Interest)) before the Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(iii) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

(iv) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of the Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require the Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of the guarantee set forth in Article II or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the guarantee set forth in Article II shall have been paid in full in cash or immediately available funds. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of the Obligations and all other amounts payable

under the guarantee set forth in Article II, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the guarantee set forth in Article II, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under such guarantee thereafter arising. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the guarantee set forth in Article II shall have been paid in full in cash or immediately available funds, the Collateral Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to such guarantee.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of each Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the 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 Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan 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 guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance).

Section 7.03. Limitation By Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

Section 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Agents and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the Agents and their

respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Agents and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any party without the approval of any other party and without affecting the obligations of any other party hereunder.

Section 7.05. 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 Pledgor or any Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent to be given or withheld at the written direction of the Required Lenders). The Administrative Agent hereunder shall at all times be the same person that is the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent hereunder shall at all times be the same person that is the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by any Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as such Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, that successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

Section 7.06. Agents’ Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that each Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the resignation or removal of any Agent, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

Section 7.07. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign 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 ask for, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral, (d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any of the Collateral, (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor, (f) 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, (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the 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. Each 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 herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 7.09. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09, 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 Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower or Holdings in any case shall entitle any such person 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 each Agent and either the Borrower or Holdings with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 7.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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.

(a) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Pledgor, or its properties, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 7.15. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the guarantees made herein, the pledges made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities not then due) have been paid in full in cash or immediately available funds.

(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to Section 7.15(a), each Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including, without limitation, authorization to file UCC termination statements) and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral that may be in the possession of such Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Section 7.15(e) unless such Pledgor shall have delivered to such Agent together with such request, which may be incorporated into such request, (i) a reasonably detailed description of the Collateral,

which in any event shall be sufficient to effect the appropriate termination or release without affecting any other Collateral, and (ii) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or such Pledgor certifying that such termination or release is permitted by the Credit Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by any Agent.

Section 7.16. [Reserved].

Section 7.17. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any party to this Agreement against any of and all the obligations of such party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 7.17 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

3.2 In exchange for the agreements and consideration provided for herein, CBI and the Other Claire’s Parties shall have, unless otherwise specified in, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement, the sole and exclusive right (even as to CLSIP) during the Term and the Phase-Out Period to: (a) use the US Claire’s Marks or any other ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the US Claire’s Marks in commerce or otherwise; (b) license others to use the US Claire’s Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the US Claire’s Marks in any way; (c) register (in both Parties’ names) the US Claire’s Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the US Claire’s Marks with any federal or state governmental authority; and (d) commence an action for infringement of the US Claire’s Marks, and to defend and settle any claims that any Claire’s Party’s use (or to the extent permitted by CBI, CLSIP’s use) of the US Claire’s Marks infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party. Except as otherwise provided herein, CLSIP shall be expressly prohibited from exercising any such exclusive rights in and to the US Claire’s Marks during the Term and the Phase-Out Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have the right to pledge or grant a security interest in its undivided ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, provided that written notice of any such pledge of grant is provided in advance to the other Party, provided that, after the date hereof, (i) any secured party that is granted such a security interest by CLSIP or any Claire’s Party must agree that, if it

succeeds to the interest of CLSIP or a Claire’s Party, as the case may be, as a result of any exercise of remedies (or an agreement in lieu of an exercise of remedies) with respect to such security interest, it will assume and otherwise comply with all of the obligations of CLSIP or the Claire’s Parties, as the case may be, hereunder with regard to the US Claire’s Marks; and (ii) the form of the pledge, grant, or collateral assignment between CLSIP or the Claire’s Parties, as the case may be, and any such secured party must be approved in writing by the Claire’s Parties or CLSIP, as the case may be, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. During the Term and the Phase-Out Period, the CBI Parties shall not assign or otherwise transfer the undivided 82.50% ownership interest, or any part thereof, in and to the US Claire’s Marks unless (i) the assignee or transferee assumes and otherwise agrees to comply with all of the obligations of the Claire’s Parties hereunder with regard to the US Claire’s Marks; and (ii) the form of transfer agreement between the Claire’s Parties and any such assignee or transferee is approved in writing by CSLIP, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If CLSIP reasonably determines in good faith that any of the Claire’s Parties fails to maintain a consistent level of quality in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then CLSIP shall notify CBI of any such alleged deficiencies, and the Claire’s Parties shall take commercially reasonable steps to remedy such deficiencies to CLSIP’s reasonable satisfaction. The Claire’s Parties shall not knowingly take any action with the US Claire’s Marks that would adversely affect the US Claire’s Marks, the customer goodwill associated with the US Claire’s Marks, and/or the reputation of the Claire’s Parties, CLSIP or the Business, and the Claire’s Parties’ use of the US Claire’s Marks shall at all times materially comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations that govern their use of the US Claire’s Marks and the conduct of the Business. The Claire’s Parties shall bear all costs related to any recall of Products featuring the US Claire’s Marks, whether voluntary or required by a government entity or a court order. In the event of such a recall, CBI shall consult with CLSIP and CLSIP must approve (or not expressly object to) all aspects of CBI’s handling of such recall, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.4 All licenses and franchises granted by the Claire’s Parties to use or operate under the US Claire’s Marks during the Term and Phase-Out Period shall be materially similar to the licenses and franchises granted by the CBI Parties to others in connection with the Claire’s Marks prior to the Effective Date, and any license or franchise granted by the Claire’s Parties to use or operate under the US Claire’s Marks during the Term and Phase-Out Period that would be materially inconsistent with such past practices shall be subject to CLSIP’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.5 As between the Parties, the Claire’s Parties shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs associated with its exercise of the foregoing rights during the Term and the Phase-Out Period, including, without limitation, all costs associated with the operation of the Business under the Claire’s marks, the negotiation, implementation and management of any license arrangements for the Claire’s Marks, the prosecution and maintenance of the registrations for and applications for registration of the Claire’s Marks, and the enforcement and defense of the Claire’s Marks. At the Claire’s Parties’ reasonable expense, CLSIP shall in good faith assist the CBI Parties to fulfill the foregoing responsibilities.

4. Payments to CLSIP.

4.1 The Claire’s Parties shall pay to CLSIP a US$12,000,000 license and use fee (the “Fee”) during each twelve month period beginning with the Effective Date of the Agreement so long as the Agreement has not expired or been terminated. The Fee shall be paid to CLSIP in consideration for (a) the exclusive license to the Licensed IP that CLSIP has granted to CBI in Section 2; (b) CLSIP’s waiver of certain rights to use, license, register, defend, or enforce the US Claire’s Marks during the Term and the Phase-Out Period; and (c) the acknowledgment by CLSIP that CBI shall enjoy the exclusive rights, subject to the terms of this Agreement, in and to the Claire’s Marks set forth in Section 3.

4.2 The Fee shall be paid in two equal payments of US$6,000,000 (each, a “Payment”), which shall be made on February 1 and August 1 of each calendar year during the Term beginning February 1, 2017. The Fee for any partial period of the Term shall be prorated.

4.3 In addition to the other remedies provided for herein, the Claire’s Parties shall owe interest on all past due amounts at a rate of 1% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less), commencing immediately after the Payment was first due and accruing until the Payment is paid in full.

4.4 The Claire’s Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for all costs relating to or arising out of the collection of any delinquent Fees, including, but not limited to, any and all collection fees, collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, court costs and expenses.

5.1 US Claire’s Marks.

5.1.1 CLSIP owns an undivided 17.50% ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, which are owned jointly by the Parties, and any use that the Claire’s Parties makes of the US Claire’s Marks and any goodwill generated by the Claire’s Parties’ use of the US Claire’s Marks in the United States shall inure to the benefit of both Parties as joint owners.

5.2 US Icing Marks.

5.2.1 All right, title and interest in and to the US Icing Marks in the United States belongs to CLSIP or its successors or assigns, and any use that the Claire’s Parties make of the US Icing Marks in the United States will not confer any ownership rights in the US Icing Marks upon the Claire’s Parties. Moreover, any goodwill generated by the Claire’s Parties’ use of the US Icing Marks in the United States shall inure to the sole benefit of CLSIP.

5.2.2 The Claire’s Parties shall assign, transfer and convey to CLSIP any rights in the US Icing Marks in the United States that they may obtain or that may vest in them as a result of their activities under this Agreement, and they shall execute any documents reasonably requested by CLSIP to accomplish, confirm or record such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

5.2.3 The Claire’s Parties shall not directly or indirectly attack or challenge CLSIP’s exclusive ownership of the US Icing Marks or the validity of the federal registrations or any application for registration for the US Icing Marks. The Claire’s Parties also shall not directly or indirectly seek to register the US Icing Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the US Icing Marks in the United States, except with CLSIP’s approval, or use the US Icing Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the US Icing Marks in the United States in any manner other than as

licensed under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the CBI Parties may freely seek additional registrations for the Non-US Icing Marks outside of the United States and may use the Non-US Icing Marks outside of the United States in their sole discretion. Further, the CBI Parties shall not purposefully direct Products sold under the Non-US Icing Marks to consumers that are based in the United States (it being understood that the sale of Products under the Non-US Icing Marks via the Internet, mobile channels, and all other means of communication now known or later developed that may be accessed globally, in each case, to customers located outside of the United States, shall be permitted) or knowingly sell Products under the Non-US Icing Marks to a reseller who intends to sell such Products directly or indirectly to consumers in the United States in violation of CLSIP’s rights in the US Icing Marks.

5.2.4 CBI shall immediately inform CLSIP of any potential infringements, dilution, or other misuse of the US Icing ▇▇▇▇ in the United States. CLSIP has the sole right to commence an action for infringement of the US Icing Marks in the United States, and to defend and settle any claims that the Claire’s Parties’ use of the US Icing Marks in the United States infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party. CBI shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for assistance by CLSIP in connection with the foregoing, including being named as a co-party in any related court proceedings, and shall assume control of any such action if CLSIP so requests. To the extent CBI assumes such control, all costs associated with an action shall be at the Claire’s Parties’ sole expense, and any settlement must be approved by CLSIP, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

5.3 Digital Licensed IP.

5.3.1 All right, title and interest in and to the Digital Licensed IP belongs to CLSIP or its successors, assigns or designees, and any use the Claire’s Parties make of the Digital Licensed IP, will not confer any ownership rights upon them.

5.3.2 The Claire’s Parties shall assign, transfer and convey to CLSIP any rights in the Digital Licensed IP that they may obtain or that may vest in them as a result of their activities under this Agreement, and they shall execute any documents reasonably requested by CLSIP to accomplish, confirm or record such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

5.3.3 CBI shall immediately inform CLSIP of any potential infringements or other misuse of the Digital Licensed IP. As between the parties, CLSIP has the sole right to commence an action for infringement of the Digital Licensed IP, and to defend and settle any claims that the Claire’s Parties’ use of the Digital Licensed IP infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party. The Claire’s Parties shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for assistance by CLSIP in connection with the foregoing, and shall assume control of any such action if CLSIP so requests. To the extent CBI assumes such control, all costs associated with an action shall be at the Claire’s Parties’ sole expense, and any settlement must be approved by CLSIP, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

5.4 The Claire’s Parties shall not directly or indirectly attack or challenge the Licensed IP, CLSIP’s rights in, ownership of, or title to the Licensed IP or its undivided 17.50% ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, the validity of CLSIP’s United States federal registrations or applications for federal registration for the US Icing Marks, CLSIP’s registrations for the Domain Names, the validity of the Parties’ jointly owned US Claire’s Marks or the United States federal registrations or applications for federal registration for the US Claire’s Marks, or the validity of the license granted in this Agreement.

6. Acknowledgment of CBI’s Rights.

6.1 CBI Claire’s Marks.

6.1.1 CBI owns an undivided 82.50% ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, which are owned jointly by the Parties. Should the Parties later agree that CLSIP may make some use of the US Claire’s Marks in the United States during the Term and the Phase-Out Period, any goodwill generated by such permitted use by CLSIP of the US Claire’s Marks shall inure to the benefit of both Parties as joint owners. Unless otherwise specified in, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement, CBI and the Other Claire’s Parties shall enjoy the sole and exclusive right (even as to CLSIP) to use, license, register, defend or enforce the US Claire’s Marks during the Term and the Phase-Out Period.

6.1.2 All right, title and interest in and to the Non-US Claire’s Marks belongs to the CBI Parties, and any use the CBI Parties make of the Non-US Claire’s Marks outside of the United States will not confer any ownership rights upon CLSIP. Any goodwill generated by a CBI Party’s use of the Non-US Claire’s Marks shall inure to the sole benefit of such CBI Party. For the sake of clarity, and notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, CLSIP acknowledges that it does not own any right, title or interest in and to the Non-US Claire’s Marks, which right, title and interest is wholly owned by the CBI Parties.

6.1.3 Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, CLSIP shall assign, transfer and convey to CBI (or another CBI Party at CBI’s direction) any rights in the Non-US Claire’s Marks which may be obtained by or may vest in CLSIP, and CLSIP shall execute any documents reasonably requested by CBI to accomplish, confirm or record such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

6.1.4 Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, during the Term and Phase-Out Period, CLSIP shall not directly or indirectly attack or challenge the CBI Parties’ exclusive ownership (subject to the terms of this Agreement) of the CBI Claire’s Marks or the validity of the registrations or any application for registration for the Claire’s Marks. CLSIP also shall not directly or indirectly seek to (a) register the Claire’s Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the Claire’s Marks anywhere in the world except in the United States if CBI, after a reasonable time, fails to do so, in connection with goods and/or services intended to be used or used by one of the Parties, or (b) use the Claire’s Marks or any designation confusingly similar to the Claire’s Marks outside the United States, in each case except with CBI’s prior written consent.

6.1.5 Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, the CBI Parties may freely seek additional registrations for the Claire’s Marks anywhere in the world, including in the United States, in their sole discretion, without any notice to CLSIP, and regardless of whether they have sought or obtained CLSIP’s consent. Any applications for registration for the Claire’s Marks in the United States will identify both Parties as owners.

6.1.6 CLSIP agrees to inform CBI of any potential infringements about which it learns of the Claire’s Marks anywhere in the world. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, as between the Parties, CBI shall have the sole and exclusive right to commence an action for infringement of the Claire’s Marks anywhere in the world, including the United States, and to defend and settle any claims that any party’s use of the Claire’s Marks anywhere in the world, including the United States, infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, CBI shall take commercially reasonable steps to pursue all actions for material infringement of the US Claire’s Marks, and shall otherwise defend the US Claire’s Marks against any third-party challenge, and, if CBI fails to take such actions after being provided a reasonable time to do so, CLSIP may do so upon written notice to CBI. At CBI’s expense, CLSIP shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for assistance by CBI in connection with the foregoing, including, but not limited to, being joined as a party. If CLSIP takes any action to commence an action for infringement, or to defend and settle any claims as permitted herein, CBI shall

cooperate with all reasonable requests for assistance by CLSIP, at CLSIP’s expense, including, but not limited to, being joined as a party. Other than as set forth herein, CLSIP shall not directly or indirectly commence an action for infringement of the US Claire’s Marks during the Term or the Phase-Out Period, and CLSIP shall have no right by itself (and without CBI) to defend or settle any claim that a party’s use of the US Claire’s Marks infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party that is initiated during the Term or the Phase-Out Period; provided, however, that CBI shall keep CLSIP reasonably informed regarding its efforts to defend or settle any claim involving the US Claire’s Marks, any settlement involving the US Claire’s Marks shall not be disproportionately and materially adverse to CLSIP’s ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks relative to CBI’s ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, and any settlement involving the US Claire’s Marks shall be subject to CLSIP’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.2 Non-US Icing Marks.

6.2.1 All right, title and interest in and to the Non-US Icing Marks belongs to the CBI Parties, and any use the CBI Parties make of the Non-US Icing Marks will not confer any ownership rights upon CLSIP. Any goodwill generated by a CBI Party’s use of the Non-US Icing Marks shall inure to the sole benefit of such CBI Party. For the sake of clarity, and notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Icing Marks, CLSIP acknowledges that it does not own any right, title or interest in and to the Non-US Icing Marks, which right, title and interest are wholly owned by the CBI Parties.

6.2.2 Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Icing Marks, CLSIP shall assign, transfer and convey to CBI (or another CBI Party at CBI’s direction) any rights in the Non-US Icing Marks which may be obtained by or may vest in CLSIP, and CLSIP shall execute any documents reasonably requested by CBI to accomplish, confirm or record such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

6.2.3 Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Icing Marks, CLSIP shall not directly or indirectly attack or challenge the CBI Parties’ exclusive ownership of the Non-US Icing Marks or the validity of the registrations or any application for registration for the Non-US Icing Marks. CLSIP also shall not directly or indirectly seek to (a) register the Non-US Icing Marks or any ▇▇▇▇ or other designation confusingly similar to the Non-US Icing Marks outside the United States, or (b) use the Non-US Icing Marks or any designation confusingly similar to the Non-US Icing Marks outside the United States, in each case except with CBI’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, CLSIP may freely seek additional registrations for the Icing marks in the United States; provided, however, such Icing marks are exclusively licensed to CBI pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Further, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement (and the license granted pursuant to Section 2 above), CLSIP shall not purposefully direct Products sold under the US Icing Marks to consumers that are predominantly based outside of the United States (it being understood that the sale of Products under the US Icing Marks via the Internet, mobile channels, and all other means of communication now known or later developed that may be accessed globally shall be permitted) or knowingly sell Products under the US Icing Marks to a reseller who intends to sell such Products directly or indirectly to consumers outside of the United States in violation of the CBI Parties’ rights in the Non-US Icing Marks.

6.2.4 CLSIP agrees to inform CBI of any potential infringements about which it learns of the Non-US Icing Marks outside the United States. Notwithstanding CLSIP’s right, title and interest in and to the US Icing Marks, as between the Parties, CBI has the sole right to commence an action for infringement of the Non-US Icing Marks outside the United States, and to defend and settle any claims that use of the Non-US Icing Marks outside the United States infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party. At CBI’s expense, CLSIP shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for assistance by CBI in connection with the foregoing.

6.3 Other Intellectual Property Rights.

6.3.1 As between the Parties, all right, title and interest in and to the Business IP belongs to the CBI Parties, and any use CLSIP makes of the Business IP will not confer any ownership rights upon CLSIP. Any goodwill generated by CLSIP’s use of the Business IP shall inure to the sole benefit of CBI or another CBI Party.

6.3.2 CLSIP shall assign, transfer and convey to CBI or its designee any rights in the Business IP that CLSIP may obtain or that may vest in CLSIP as a result of its activities under this Agreement, and CLSIP shall execute any documents reasonably requested by CBI to accomplish, confirm or record such assignment, transfer and conveyance.

6.3.3 CLSIP shall immediately inform CBI of any potential infringements or other misuse of the Business IP. As between the Parties, CBI has the sole right to commence an action for infringement of the Business IP, and to defend and settle any claims that CLSIP’s use of the Business IP infringes or otherwise violates the rights of a third party.

6.3.4 CLSIP shall not directly or indirectly attack or challenge the Business IP, the CBI Parties’ rights in, exclusive ownership of, or title to the Business IP, or the validity of any registrations, patents, or applications for registrations or patents for the Business IP.

7. Quality Control for the Licensed IP.

7.1 All Products and Services offered under the US Icing Marks shall conform to standards of quality at least comparable to that of the Products and Services offered by the Claire’s Parties under the US Icing Marks immediately before the Effective Date of this Agreement, or such other standards of quality that CLSIP may from time to time reasonably require, with respect to the display of the US Icing Marks, the quality of the Products and Services identified by the US Icing Marks, and the conduct of the Business under the US Icing Marks.

7.2 At the time of each Payment, and at other times upon CLSIP’s reasonable written request, CBI will supply or make available to CLSIP, at no cost to CLSIP, representative samples of each line of Products featuring the US Icing Marks (including their packaging), as well as representative samples of marketing and advertising materials used in connection with the various Services identified by or associated with the US Icing Marks. If CLSIP reasonably determines that any of the Claire’s Parties fails to maintain a consistent level of quality in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then CLSIP may require that Claire’s Party to take reasonable steps to remedy any such deficiencies and that Claire’s Party shall promptly comply with such request.

7.3 The Claire’s Parties shall also ensure that they do not take any action with the US Icing Marks that would adversely affect the US Icing Marks, the customer goodwill associated with the US Icing Marks, and/or the reputation of CLSIP, the Claire’s Parties or the Business.

7.4 The Claire’s Parties’ use of the Licensed IP shall at all times materially comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations that govern their use of the Licensed IP and the conduct of the Business.

7.5 The Claire’s Parties shall bear all costs related to any recall of Products featuring the US Icing Marks, whether voluntary or required by a government entity or a court order. In the event of such a recall, CBI shall consult with CLSIP and CLSIP must approve (or not expressly object to) all aspects of CBI’s handling of such recall, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8. Maintenance of Licensed IP.

8.1 CLSIP shall maintain the registrations for the US Icing Marks and Domain Names during the Term, and, subject to its reasonable business judgment, shall ensure that all post-registration filings and renewal applications, including any registration, renewal or maintenance fees, required by a government entity, domain name registry, domain name registrar, or law in connection with the foregoing are completed and paid in a timely manner. At CLSIP’s reasonable request, the Claire’s Parties shall cooperate with CLSIP to provide information reasonably required by CLSIP to submit to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office such post-registration filings and renewal applications, including, without limitation, specimens of the US Icing Marks showing current usage of such marks on the Products and/or in promotion and rendering of the Services. At CBI’s reasonable request, CLSIP also shall prepare and file new applications to register the US Icing Marks with the US Patent and Trademark Office or any applicable state government entity. CLSIP may delegate to CBI responsibility for these obligations.

8.2 CLSIP shall endeavor to renew the Mobile Application Agreement when its initial term expires or, with the prior written consent of CBI, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, obtain a similar license from an alternative mobile application provider to ensure that CBI has continued access to a mobile application for use in connection with the Business throughout the world. CLSIP may delegate to CBI responsibility for these obligations.

8.3 All costs incurred by CLSIP and associated with the foregoing shall be paid or reimbursed to CLSIP by the Claire’s Parties.

9. Maintenance of the US Claire’s Marks.

9.1 CBI shall be solely responsible for, and shall have the sole and exclusive right and obligation to, both during and after the Term, subject to its reasonable business judgment: (a) maintain the registrations for the US Claire’s Marks, and ensure that all post-registration filings and renewal applications (including any title update filings) required by a government entity or law in connection with the foregoing are completed in a timely manner; provided that CBI shall take commercially reasonable steps to maintain all such registrations and complete all such filings and applications and, if CBI fails to take such actions after being provided a reasonable time to do so, CLSIP may do so upon written notice to CBI; and (b) prepare and file any desired new applications to register the US Claire’s Marks with the US Patent and Trademark Office or any applicable state government authority as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, provided that all such applications for registration shall reflect the Parties’ joint ownership of the US Claire’s Marks. All costs associated with the foregoing shall be paid directly by the Claire’s Parties.

10. Option and Put Rights.

10.1 CBI’s Option Right.

10.1.1 CBI shall have the right to purchase the CLSIP IP, in whole or in part, at CBI’s sole discretion, from CLSIP at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and the payment in full and in cash and discharge of all obligations under the CLSIP Credit Agreement of even date herewith, but before the termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Option Right”) for the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Option Notice (as defined below); provided, however, that it is understood that the applicable CLSIP IP will be purchased by CBI from CLSIP subject to all claims, liens, and encumbrances, and that the fair market value of such CLSIP IP as of the date of the Option Notice shall be computed accordingly.

10.1.2 CBI shall provide CLSIP with written notice of its intent to act upon the Option Right (the “Option Notice”). This Option Notice shall identify a third-party appraisal firm that shall be engaged by CBI, at CBI’s sole expense, to determine the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Option Notice. This valuation shall take into account that the applicable CLSIP IP will be purchased subject to all claims, liens, and encumbrances, and shall be provided to CLSIP within thirty days of the date of the Option Notice (the “Option Valuation Date”). CLSIP shall reasonably cooperate with CBI’s chosen appraisal firm to complete the appraisal.

10.1.3 CLSIP may, at its sole expense, engage a separate third-party appraisal firm to conduct a similar valuation to determine the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Option Notice. If CLSIP chooses to engage its own appraisal firm, such firm’s valuation must be provided to CBI by the Option Valuation Date. Further, if such firm’s valuation of the applicable CLSIP IP differs from the value for such CLSIP IP established by CBI’s appraisal firm, the Parties agree that the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP shall be the average of the two appraisals.

10.1.4 CBI shall have thirty days from the Option Valuation Date to provide written notice to CLSIP that it will proceed with the purchase of the applicable CLSIP IP at the fair market value established for such CLSIP IP pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Purchase Notice”).

10.1.5 The Parties will then have thirty days from the Purchase Notice to negotiate in good faith and execute the agreement(s) necessary to sell, assign, transfer or convey the applicable CLSIP IP from CLSIP to CBI subject to all claims, liens, and encumbrances.

10.2 CLSIP’s Put Right.

10.2.1 CLSIP shall have the right to require that the Claire’s Parties purchase the CLSIP IP, in whole or in part, at CLSIP’s sole discretion, from CLSIP at any time after fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and the payment in full and in cash and discharge of all obligations under the CLSIP Credit Agreement of even date herewith, but before the termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Put Right”) for the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Put Notice (as defined below); provided, however, that is understood that the applicable CLSIP IP will be purchased by one or more of the Claire’s Parties from CLSIP free and clear of all claims, liens, and encumbrances, with any existing liens on the CSLIP IP to attach to those proceeds with the same validity, extent, and priority as such lien attaches to the CLSIP IP, and that the fair market value of such CLSIP IP as of the date of the Option Notice shall be computed accordingly.

10.2.2 CLSIP shall provide the Claire’s Parties with written notice of its intent to act upon the Put Right (the “Put Notice”). This Put Notice shall identify a third-party appraisal firm that shall be engaged by CLSIP to determine the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Put Notice. This valuation shall take into account that the applicable CLSIP IP will be purchased free and clear of all claims, liens, and encumbrances, and shall be provided to the Claire’s Parties within thirty days of the date of the Put Notice (the “Put Valuation Date”). All costs associated with the foregoing appraisal shall be paid or reimbursed by the Claire’s Parties.

10.2.3 The Claire’s Parties may, at its sole expense, engage a separate third-party appraisal firm to conduct a similar valuation to determine the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP as of the date of the Put Notice. If the Claire’s Parties choose to engage their own appraisal firm, such firm’s valuation must be provided to CLSIP by the Put Valuation Date. Further, if such firm’s valuation of the applicable CLSIP IP differs from the value for such CLSIP IP established by CLSIP’s appraisal firm, the Parties agree that the fair market value of the applicable CLSIP IP shall be the average of the two appraisals.

10.2.4 The Parties shall have thirty days from the Put Valuation Date to negotiate in good faith and execute the agreement(s) necessary to sell, assign, transfer or convey the applicable CLSIP IP from CLSIP to one or more of the Claire’s Parties free and clear of all claims, liens, and encumbrances.

10.3 Effects of the Exercise of the Option Right or Put Right.

10.3.1 Upon the sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of the applicable CLSIP IP to one or more of the Claire’s Parties pursuant to this Section 10, this Agreement shall be terminated immediately and the Claire’s Parties’ obligation to pay the Fee to CLSIP shall be prorated per Section 4.2.

11. Representations and Warranties.

11.1 CLSIP represents and warrants to the Claire’s Parties that (a) it has good title to and/or the right to license the Licensed IP; and (b) it will not use or otherwise license any other party to use the CLSIP IP in any way during the Term and Phase-Out Period.

11.2 The Claire’s Parties represent and warrant to CLSIP that (a) this Agreement, and the Fee to be paid by the Claire’s Parties to CLSIP pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, are and will all be for reasonably equivalent value, and are and will all be made for fair consideration and in good faith; (b) each of the Claire’s Parties has and will have sufficient capital to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement; (c) the Claire’s Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Products and Services offered under the US Claire’s Marks conform to standards of quality at least comparable to that of the Products and Services offered by the Claire’s Parties under the US Claire’s Marks immediately before the Effective Date as required by Section 3.3 of this Agreement; (d) the Claire’s Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Products and Services offered under the US Icing Marks meet and maintain the quality standards set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement; and (e) the Claire’s Parties’ use of the Licensed IP shall not be in conflict with any other agreement.

11.3 Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party, and each of the Other Claire’s Parties represents and warrants to CLSIP, and CLSIP represents and warrants to each of the Other Claire’s Parties, that: (a) it is duly authorized and licensed to do business and carry out its obligations under this Agreement; (b) it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been authorized by all necessary corporate action; (c) it has obtained all third party consents required to enter into this Agreement and neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement will conflict with or constitute a breach of its certificate of incorporation, charter or by-laws; (d) this Agreement is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms, including under federal trademark law and other applicable law, and no Party, and no Claire’s Party, shall challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement; and (e) the provisions of this Agreement are not and were not intended to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor.

12. Indemnification.

12.1 The Claire’s Parties agree, jointly and severally, to protect, indemnify and hold harmless CLSIP and its parent and affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, licensees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, suits, actions or allegations brought or asserted by a third party (each, a “Claim”) and any resulting liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to (a) the Claire’s Parties’ use of the Licensed IP pursuant to this Agreement; (b) the Claire’s Parties’ breach of their representations, warranties and other obligations under this Agreement; and (c) the Claire’s Parties’ manufacture, distribution, advertising, marketing and sale of the Products, provision of the Services, and operation of the Business, including without limitation any personal injury claims or product liability claims related to the foregoing.

12.2 CLSIP shall promptly notify CBI upon the assertion of any Claim against an Indemnified Party, and shall give the Claire’s Parties a reasonable opportunity to defend and/or settle the Claim at its own expense. The Claire’s Parties shall have the sole right to designate the counsel to handle any such defense and/or settlement negotiations, and the Indemnified Parties shall provide the Claire’s Parties with such assistance as it may reasonably request in order to ensure a proper and adequate defense of a Claim. Any settlement of a Claim must be approved in writing by the applicable Indemnified Party prior to the execution of any settlement agreement.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties. CLSIP licenses the Licensed IP to CBI “as is.” CLSIP makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, in relation to the Licensed IP. Without limiting the foregoing, CLSIP expressly disclaims any and all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

14. Term.

14.1 This Agreement will remain in effect from the Effective Date and will continue for six years (the “Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier by one of the Parties in accordance with Section 15.

14.2 At the end of the Initial Term, the term of the Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one year periods (the Initial Term and all such renewal periods, the “Term”) unless one party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other at least sixty days prior to the applicable renewal date.

15. Termination.

15.1 CLSIP may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to CBI if the Claire’s Parties fail to make any Payment as required by this Agreement.

15.2 CLSIP may terminate this Agreement upon thirty days written notice to CBI in the event that any Claire’s Party fails to cure a material breach of this Agreement after CBI has received written notice of such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by CBI or the Claire’s Parties to comply with quality control provisions included in Sections 3 and 7 of this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach. In the event that such breach cannot be cured within thirty days, and so long as the applicable Claire’s Party is making reasonable efforts to implement a cure, the cure period will be automatically extended by a reasonable amount of time to permit such cure (if a cure is feasible). For the avoidance of doubt, neither CBI nor any Claire’s Party shall have a termination right under this paragraph 15.

16. Effects of Termination.

16.1 Upon the termination or the expiration of this Agreement, CBI shall prepare, and each Party shall promptly execute, an application to voluntarily abandon any application, and surrender for cancellation any registration, for a ▇▇▇▇ that combines a US Icing ▇▇▇▇ with a US Claire’s ▇▇▇▇ (including but not limited to the registration for ICING BY CLAIRE’S, U.S. Reg. No. 3,050,863), which CBI shall file on behalf of both Parties with the US Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, upon the termination or the expiration of this Agreement, and provided that the CLSIP IP has not been assigned to one or more of the Claire’s Parties pursuant to Section 10, the Claire’s Parties shall take immediate steps to discontinue their use of the Licensed IP; provided, however, that (a) the CBI Parties’ rights in and to the CBI Claire’s Marks and the Non-US Icing Marks shall not be affected by any such termination or expiration of this Agreement, and the CBI Parties may continue to use, license others to use and/or

enforce the CBI Claire’s Marks and the Non-US Icing Marks (subject to (i) the adoption of practices to ensure that the concurrent use of the US Claire’s Marks by CLSIP and the Claire’s Parties in the United States will not cause consumer confusion in the marketplace, and (ii) the terms of this Agreement that shall survive pursuant to Section 16.3), it being understood and agreed that the CBI Parties’ use of the CBI Claire’s Marks outside of the United States shall not be deemed an infringement of the CLSIP’s rights in the US Claire’s Marks, and that the CBI Parties’ use of the Non-US Icing Marks outside of the United States shall not be deemed an infringement of CLSIP’s rights in the US Icing Marks; and (b) the Claire’s Parties shall (i) enjoy continued access to the Digital Licensed IP for sixty days so that they may have time to adopt new Internet domain names and a new mobile application for use in connection with the Business; (ii) enjoy continued exclusive rights in and to the jointly owned US Claire’s Marks pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for ninety days so that senior representatives of the Parties may meet to discuss the reasonable measures that each of the Claire’s Parties and CLSIP shall take to ensure that their concurrent use of the US Claire’s Marks in the United States will not cause consumer confusion in the marketplace; and (iii) have one hundred and twenty days to sell off all Products currently in stock that display the US Icing Marks and that are intended for the US market (collectively, the “Phase-Out Period”). Further, if any of the Claire’s Parties’ rights under the Phase-Out Period would otherwise end between the dates of October 15th of the then-current year and January 15th of the following year, such rights and the Phase-Out Period shall be extended to January 15th of the following year. All pertinent terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply during the Phase-Out Period.

16.2 After the Phase-Out Period, and provided that the CLSIP IP has not been assigned to one or more of the Claire’s Parties pursuant to Section 10, the Claire’s Parties and CLSIP (including their respective assignees and successors in interest), as joint owners of the US Claire’s Marks and pursuant to the CLSIP Assignment, shall undertake such commercially reasonable arrangements as may be reasonably satisfactory to both with respect to the joint ownership of the US Claire’s Marks so as to permit each of the Claire’s Parties and CLSIP (including their respective assignees and successors in interest) to take such steps as such party may determine to be appropriate (and at such party’s sole cost, responsibility and liability) to enable it to have and conduct a viable, competitive business in Services and Products using such parties’ respective joint ownership interest in the US Claire’s Marks, including, without limitation, agreements: (i) with respect to the joint ownership, validity and enforceability of the US Claire’s Marks, (ii) to ensure that the Products and Services offered under the US Claire’s Marks conform to standards of quality at least comparable to the Products and Services offered under the US Claire’s Marks immediately before the Effective Date (or any other quality standards that the Parties may adopt in the future pursuant to a written agreement executed by both Parties), (iii) to ensure that the concurrent use of the US Claire’s Marks by CBI on the one hand, and CLSIP on the other hand, and each Party’s successors, assigns and licensees shall not result in the US Claire’s Marks becoming invalid or unenforceable under federal trademark law and other applicable laws, and (iv) with respect to the adoption of practices to ensure that the concurrent use of the US Claire’s Marks by CLSIP and the Claire’s Parties in the United States will not cause consumer confusion in the marketplace; provided that until such arrangements are in place to the reasonable satisfaction of CLSIP (or its assignees and successors in interest), no Claire’s Party may assign, license, or sublicense any US Claire’s ▇▇▇▇, or bring or settle an enforcement action with respect to any US Claire’s ▇▇▇▇, without the prior written approval of CLSIP. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CLSIP shall be entitled to use, license, register, defend or enforce the US Claire’s Marks and the Licensed IP in the United States however it wishes (subject to (i) the adoption of practices to ensure that the concurrent use of the US Claire’s Marks by CLSIP and the Claire’s Parties in the United States will not cause consumer confusion in the marketplace, and (ii) the terms of this Agreement that shall survive pursuant to Section 16.3), including without limitation in connection with a retail business that competes with the Business and with CBI and its sublicensees; provided, however, that the foregoing does not infringe upon the CBI Parties’ rights in and to the Non-US Icing Marks or the CBI Claire’s Marks, it being understood and agreed that CLSIP’s use of the US Icing Marks within the United States shall not be deemed an infringement of the

CBI Parties’ rights in the Non-US Icing Marks and that CLSIP’s use of the US Claire’s Marks within the United States shall not be deemed an infringement of the CBI Parties’ rights in the CBI Claire’s Marks. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the provisions in this Agreement, each Party reserves the right to contest the other Party’s use, license, enforcement, defense or settlement with respect to the US Claire’s Marks after the Phase-Out Period. For the sake of clarity, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and provided that the CLSIP IP has not been assigned to CBI pursuant to Section 10, CLSIP shall continue to own an undivided 17.50% ownership interest in and to the US Claire’s Marks, which shall be owned jointly by the Parties, and CLSIP shall continue to own all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed IP.

16.3 The Parties’ rights and obligations that are ongoing in nature shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including without limitation the rights and obligations under Section 5 (provided that the CLSIP IP has not been assigned to CBI pursuant to Section 10), Section 6, Sections 11-14, Section 16 and Section 19.

17. Assignment. CLSIP may assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of any and all of its rights and/or responsibilities under this Agreement to any entity without the consent of CBI upon prior written notice to CBI; provided, however, CLSIP may not assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of any of its right, title or interest in the CLSIP IP without CBI’s prior written consent, to be granted in its sole discretion (other than pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, IP Security Agreement of even date herewith). Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, CBI may not assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without CLSIP’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a merger, consolidation, combination or restructuring involving CBI or a change in control of CBI shall not be deemed to be an assignment. Any assignment, delegation and/or pledge in violation of this provision or Section 2.3 will be without force or effect. The Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, each of which must agree to be bound by the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

PredictSpring, Inc. Subscription Service Level Agreement

Subscription Service SLA. During the term of the Agreement the Platform will be operational and available to Customer’s end users at least 99.9% of the time in any calendar month (the “SLA”). If PredictSpring does not meet the SLA, and if Customer meets its obligations under this SLA and the Agreement, Customer will be eligible to receive the Service Credits described below. This Exhibit A states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by PredictSpring to meet the SLA.

Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to the SLA.

•

“Downtime” means, for a mobile application, if there is more than a five percent User Error Rate (as defined below). Downtime is measured based on server side error rate.

•

“Monthly Uptime Percentage” means total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered in a calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in a calendar month.

•

“User Error Rate” means the number of instances of failure to make requests from the Application to PredictSpring’s backend cloud services, divided by the number of requests made in any given month, provided that the foregoing shall not include failures related to cellular connection or any failure caused by cellular networks, including timing out.

•

“Service Credit” means the following:


Monthly Uptime Percentage	Monetary credit equal to the value of days of service (calculated by dividing the monthly Fee by 30) applied to the next month’s invoice
< 99.0% - >= 97.0%		1
< 97.0% - >= 95.0%		3
<95.0%		5

Customer Must Request Service Credit. In order to receive any of the Service Credits described above, Customer must notify PredictSpring within thirty (30) days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Service Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a Service Credit.

Maximum Subscription Service Credit. The aggregate maximum number of Service Credits to be issued by PredictSpring to Customer for all Downtime that occurs in a single calendar month shall not exceed fifteen (15) days of the Subscription Service added to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent twelve (12) month time period thereafter for the Subscription Service (or the value of fifteen (15) days of service in the form of a monetary credit if Customer has then currently opted for the Monthly Billing Option). Service Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary amounts, except when Customer has opted for the Monthly Billing Option.

SLA Exclusions. The SLA does not apply for any performance issues: (i) caused by factors described in the “Force Majeure” section of the Agreement; or (ii) that resulted from Customer’s equipment or Customer’s third party equipment, or both (not within the primary control of PredictSpring).
