(iii)All PIK Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the Interest Payment Date by increasing the principal amount of the Loans and will be compounded quarterly.  All PIK Interest so added shall be treated as principal amount of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.  Following any such increase in the principal amount of the Loans, interest will accrue on such increased amount.  Interest shall accrue from and including the date of the Borrowing (or the payment of any PIK Interest) to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof.

(e)The PIK Interest portion of the Loan Interest Rate will be the Initial PIK Interest Rate plus the product of the Initial PIK Interest Rate multiplied by the number which results

37

from dividing (x) the Aggregate Commitments as of the Closing Date minus the outstanding principal amount of the Loans immediately after any prepayment of principal on the Loans by (y) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans immediately after any prepayment of principal on the Loans.  The PIK Interest portion of the Loan Interest Rate will be adjusted following any prepayment of principal through and including the time when the Callable Portion of the Loan is $0.  When the Callable Portion of the Loan outstanding is $0, the PIK Interest portion of the Loan Interest Rate will be 13.00% per annum, all interest shall thereafter be PIK Interest and the PIK Interest rate will be set at 13.00% per annum.

Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

2.12Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in accordance with Exhibit H, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00

38

p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)(i)[intentionally omitted].

(ii)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have 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, in immediately available funds 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.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make the Loan and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c), are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of the Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its portion of the Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.13Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Credit Party shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest on, or other amounts with respect to, any of the Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein (including as in contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in Section 8.03), then the Credit Party receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Credit Parties, or make such

39

other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Credit Parties ratably and in the priorities set forth in Section 8.03, provided that:

(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY;
APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

3.01Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable Laws to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c)Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest, fees, and reasonable costs and expenses, arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

40

(d)Evidence of Payments. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3) (C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv)any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Lead Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the

41

request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g)FATCA. Without limitation of Section 3.01(e), if a payment made to a Lender or a Participant under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent , at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Participant has or has not complied with such Lender or Participant’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

3.02[intentionally omitted].

3.03[intentionally omitted].

3.04Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii)subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s

42

holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to the Lead Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05[intentionally omitted].

3.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, 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 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender as reasonably determined by such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

3.08Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

(a)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent,

43

each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

(c)The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Credit Extension. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds therefrom.

3.09Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Loan Parties hereby agree that the Loan and Coldwater Equity purchased by each Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the Coldwater Equity Documents constitutes an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), and that the aggregate “issue price” of each such investment unit shall be the amount set forth opposite each Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01.  The Loan Parties mutually agree that the allocation of the issue price of each such investment unit pursuant to Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h) between the Loan and the Coldwater Equity will be determined after the Closing Date by the Administrative Agent in good faith following a third party analysis and the Loan Parties agree to use such allocation for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to this transaction and further agree that none of the Loan Parties will take any position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or in any judicial or administrative proceeding in respect of taxes.

65

provisions being contested has not resulted, and which, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)           Take all reasonable actions to possess and maintain all Intellectual Property material to the conduct of their respective businesses (including paying all fees thereon when due) and own all right, title and interest in and to, or have a valid license for, all such Intellectual Property. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or fail to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to (i) result in the invalidity, abandonment, misuse, lapse, or unenforceability of Intellectual Property which is material to the conduct of the business of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, or (ii) knowingly infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property or other rights of other Persons.

6.07            Maintenance of Insurance.

(a)           Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and not Affiliates of the Loan Parties, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business and operating in the same or similar locations or as is required by applicable Law, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and as are reasonably acceptable to the Agents.

66

(c)           None of the Credit Parties, or their agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 6.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Credit Parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Credit Party or its agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Credit Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the any Credit Party under this Section 6.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

(d)           Maintain for themselves and their Subsidiaries, a Directors and Officers insurance policy, and a “Blanket Crime” policy including employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration, theft, disappearance and destruction, robbery and safe burglary, and computer fraud coverage with responsible companies in such amounts as are customarily carried by business entities engaged in similar businesses similarly situated, and will upon request by Administrative Agent furnish the Agents certificates evidencing renewal of each such policy.

(f)            If at any time the area in which any Real Estate is located is designated a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such total amount as is reasonable and customary for companies engaged in businesses similar to that of the Borrowers, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended from time to time.

6.08            Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, such contest effectively suspends enforcement of the contested Laws, and adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties in connection therewith and in accordance with GAAP, and (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.09            Books and Records; Accountants.  (a)  (i) Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (ii) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

(b)           At all times retain a Registered Public Accounting Firm which is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall instruct such Registered Public Accounting Firm to cooperate with, and be available to, the Administrative Agent or its representatives to discuss the Loan Parties’ financial performance, financial condition, operating results, controls, and such other matters,

67

within the scope of the retention of such Registered Public Accounting Firm, as may be raised by the Administrative Agent.

In the event any response actions are conducted at any Real Estate to address any release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, the Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall not permit the recording of any activity and use limitation or similar instruments restricting or prohibiting the use of any Real Estate or limiting the exposure of occupants on the Real Estate to any Hazardous Substances at such Real Estate without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, which may be granted, conditioned, delayed, or withheld in its Permitted Discretion.

In no event shall compliance with this Section 6.17(b) waive or be deemed a waiver or consent to any transaction giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 6.17(b) if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute consent to the inclusion of any acquired assets in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

(c)           [intentionally omitted].

In no event shall the Agents be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that any Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

The Agents shall not 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, (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

86

created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agents.

9.04            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, but not limited to, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) 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 making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), 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.

9.05            Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent.

9.06            Resignation of Agents.  Either Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Lead Borrower (absent the existence of a Default or an Event of Default), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, in each case, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided that if the retiring Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.

87

9.07            Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as provided in Section 9.12, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agents.

9.08            Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Loan Parties) 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 the Loans and all other 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, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and such Credit Parties under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) 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 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 Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

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.

9.09            Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the Agents, at their option and in their discretion,

(a)           to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) 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 (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Applicable Lenders in accordance with Section 10.01 or (iv) as otherwise required pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement;

88

(b)           to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien, or to release any Lien, on such property that is permitted by the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and

(c)           to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Applicable Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case as specified above in clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 9.09, the Agents will without further confirmation from the Required Lenders, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security Document or to enforce the Facility Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the Facility Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent acting as agent for and representative of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale under §363 of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent at such sale.

9.10            Notice of Transfer.  The Agents may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Acceptance shall have become effective as set forth in Section 10.06.

9.11            Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)           [intentionally omitted];

(b)           is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Lead Borrower hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agents (collectively, the “Reports”);

(c)           expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

89

(d)           expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agents or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel;

(e)           agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07 hereof; and

(f)            without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Credit Extensions that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

9.12            Agency for Perfection.  Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agents) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agents thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

9.13            Indemnification of Agents.  Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, the Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agents and any Related Party, as the case may be, ratably according to their Applicable Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Agent and their Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent and their Related Parties in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s and their Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

9.14            Relation among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

9.15            Defaulting Lender.

(a)           If for any reason any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Loans, expenses or setoff and such failure is not cured within two (2) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the other Credit Parties, the Loan Parties or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Defaulting

90

Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, (ii) a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Loan Parties, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency, and (iii) at the option of the Administrative Agent, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loan. The Defaulting Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Defaulting Lender of its Applicable Percentage of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.01          Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no Consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent, with the Consent of the Required Lenders, and the Lead Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or Consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or Consent shall:

(c)           as to any Lender, reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan held by such Lender, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Lender, without the written Consent of each Lender entitled to such amount; provided, however, that (i) only the Consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) and (ii) only the Consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” as it applies to the Loan or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest on the Loan at the Default Rate;

91

required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written Consent of each Lender included in any such definition;

(f)            except as expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, release, or limit the liability of, any Loan Party without the written Consent of each Lender;

(g)           except as provided in Section 9.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iv), release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written Consent of each Lender;

(h)           without the written Consent of each Lender, increase the amount of the Loan; and

(i)            except as expressly permitted herein or in any other Loan Document, subordinate the Obligations hereunder or the Liens granted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to any other Indebtedness or Lien, as the case may be without the written Consent of each Lender;

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the Side Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (iv) the Coldwater Creek Side Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (v) the Monitoring Agreement Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (vi) except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the ABL Agent and the Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or Consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at the request of the Administrative Agent and at the expense of the Lenders (including without limitation all Credit Party Expenses in connection therewith and all of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Loan Parties, including without limitation the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and outside consultants for the Loan Parties), the Loan Parties hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with the Credit Parties (a) to restructure the Loans hereunder, after taking into consideration the Issue Price, so long as the terms contemplated under this Agreement as of the date hereof (including without limitation, the economic terms, the Loan Interest Rate, the percentage of required cash interest and PIK Interest, the Maturity Date, any prepayment fee or premium (including the Prepayment Premium), all representations, covenants and events of defaults, and all rights to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement) are preserved and in the Lead Borrower’s reasonable judgment are no less favorable to the Loan Parties than such terms as in effect on the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed that dividing the Loans into tranches or allocating the economic benefit of the Loans amongst the Lenders that does not afford the holders of such tranches greater rights than those specified in Section 10.06(d) is not less favorable to the Loan Parties), and (b) to effect such restructuring including, without limitation, by amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any schedules or exhibits thereto), and executing additional documents in connection with the restructuring so long as any such amendment or additional documentation would not conflict with the provisions set forth in this paragraph.  For purposes of clarity, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall require any Loan Party to agree to any such restructuring or enter

92

into any such amendment or additional documentation that, in its reasonable judgment, is adverse to its interest.

If any Lender does not Consent (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the Consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Lead Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Lead Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

The Administrative Agent or the Lead 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.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications

93

posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)           Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Loan Parties and the Agents may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Lead Borrower and the Agents.

(d)           Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agents may be recorded by the Agents, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(e)           The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall an Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Loan Parties’ or any Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

10.03          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 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

(c)           Reimbursement by Lenders. Without limiting their obligations under Section 9.13 hereof, to the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agents (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d)           Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Loan Parties 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, or 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 to such

95

unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)           Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand therefor.

(f)            Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the assignment of any Commitment or Loan by any Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.05          Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be automatically revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents upon demand its Applicable Percentage (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06          Successors and Assigns.

(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written Consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)           Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

96

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)          in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)           in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Effective Date”, shall not be less than $2,500,000 with respect to the Loan, unless either (1) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii)          Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition, (A) the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment (2) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender, or (3) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and (B) the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement

97

that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 10.06(d).

(c)           Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts 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, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 Lead Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)           Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 10.07 as if such Participant was a Lender hereunder.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.   Each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and other Obligations from time to time (each a “Participation Register”).  The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 10.08).  The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)           Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 Lead Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Lead

98

Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)            Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)           Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

10.07          Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential on the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties; provided, however, that in the case of any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) above, the applicable Credit Party which is required to disclose confidential Information agrees to give the Lead Borrower, to the extent practicable and not otherwise prohibited by any such Law, regulation, subpoena, order or decree of a court or similar legal process, prior notice of such disclosure (provided, however, no Credit Party shall incur any liability to any Loan Party or other Person for failing to provide the Lead Borrower with any such prior notice); provided, further, however, that the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall disclose only that portion of the confidential Information as is required to be disclosed, in its sole judgment, pursuant to any such Law, regulation, subpoena, order or decree of a court or similar legal process. Any such required disclosure shall not, in and of itself, change the status of the disclosed information as Information under the terms of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof. Any Person required to maintain the

99

confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08          Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if any Lender shall have been served with a trustee process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09          Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10          Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

100

10.11          Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 10.04 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agents may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (y) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section 10.04.

10.12          Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13          Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)           the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b)           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 and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)           in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)           such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

101

10.14          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a)           GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(b)           SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES HERETO 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 COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

(c)           WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d)           SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

102

10.15          Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16          No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Credit Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Credit Parties has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any of the Credit Parties has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Credit Parties have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against each of the Credit Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

10.17          USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a

103

political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

10.18          Foreign Asset Control Regulations. Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

10.19          Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

10.20          Press Releases.

(a)           Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

(b)           Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Agent or any Lender of advertising material, including any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Agent, relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo, trademark or other insignia.  The Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.  The Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations and loan syndication and pricing reporting services information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

10.21          Additional Waivers.

(a)           The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

104

(b)           The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

(c)           To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial 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 any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d)           Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that a Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to the Borrowers hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any Loan Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the Borrower in an amount, for each of such other Loan Party, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Loan Party’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Loan Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or

105

Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

(e)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

10.22          No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

10.23          Attachments.  The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

10.24          Intercreditor Agreement.  The Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the Agents’ and Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any requirement or shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, among the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control except with respect to any terms not consented to by the Lead Borrower that, pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, require the consent of the Lead Borrower.

SECTION 2.01Security Interest.  As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns (or, with respect to the Intellectual Property, collaterally assigns) and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, a continuing security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (the “Security Interest”).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney, exercisable by the Collateral Agent whether or not an Event of Default exists, with full power of substitution, at the Collateral

7

Agent’s option, to file or transmit one or more Financing Statements, amendments, continuation statements, or to sign other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor (each Grantor hereby appointing the Collateral Agent as such Person’s attorney to sign such Person’s name to any such instrument or document, whether or not an Event of Default exists), and naming any Grantor or the Grantors, as debtors, and the Collateral Agent, as secured party.  Any such financing statement or amendment may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect or may describe the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, regardless, in each case, of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or may contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance.  Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements, amendments or continuation statements previously filed by Agent in any jurisdiction.  Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any Financing Statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

SECTION 2.02No Assumption of Liability.  The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties

Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties that:

SECTION 3.01Title and Authority.  Each Grantor has good and valid rights in, and title to, the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person, other than any consent or approval which has been obtained.

SECTION 3.02Filings.  Upon the filing of UCC Financing Statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations naming each Grantor as “debtor” and the Collateral Agent as “secured party” and containing a description of the Collateral in each governmental, municipal or other office as is 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 its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United

8

States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, the Security Interest granted to the Collateral Agent (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties) hereunder shall constitute a legal, valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or analogous filings or as a result of any change in a Grantor’s name or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation or under any other circumstances under which, pursuant to the UCC or other applicable recording or registration system, filings, registrations or recordings previously made have become misleading or ineffective in whole or in part.

(b)Each Grantor agrees (i) to maintain, at its own cost and expense, records with respect to the Collateral owned by it which are complete and accurate in all material respects and which are consistent in all material respects with, or better than, its current practices, but in any event to include accounting records which are complete in all material respects indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Collateral, and (ii) at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any and all Collateral.

SECTION 4.04Inspection and Verification.  Each Grantor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit representatives and independent contractors of the Collateral Agent to visit its properties and inspect the Collateral and all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records), to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its

SECTION 4.06Assignment of Security Interest.  If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest or Lien in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account (other than the security interest existing as of the Closing Date taken by one of the Grantors in the stock of its employees), such Grantor shall promptly take such actions as the Collateral Agent may request in order to assign such security interest or Lien to the Collateral Agent.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected and priority status of the security interest or Lien

14

against creditors of, and transferees from, the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest or Lien.

SECTION 4.07Continuing Obligations of the Grantors.  Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

SECTION 4.10Insurance.

(a)Each Grantor shall (i) maintain or shall cause to be maintained such insurance as is required pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Loan Agreement; (ii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by applicable Law; and (iii) furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written request, full information as to the insurance carried.

15

making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor 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 Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance as required by Section 6.07 of the Loan Agreement, and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable.  All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.10, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.13Other Actions.  In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the Collateral, each Grantor covenants and agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

(a)If any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall become evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper with a face value individually or in the aggregate in excess of $250,000, other than such Instruments and Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 3.08 hereto, the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Chattel Paper shall promptly (but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent,

(d)If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall become evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000, other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule 3.10 hereto, the Grantor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent Control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

SECTION 4.15Government Contracts.  Other than Accounts and Chattel Paper the aggregate value (for all such Accounts and Chattel Paper) of which does not at any one time exceed $500,000, if any Account or Chattel Paper arises out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, Grantors shall promptly (and in any event not later than concurrently with the delivery of the Compliance Certificate and the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(c) of the Loan Agreement) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) after request by the Collateral Agent, execute any instruments or take any steps reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in order that all moneys due or to become due under such contract or contracts shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Credit Parties, and shall provide written notice thereof under the Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable law.

SECTION 4.16Intellectual Property.

(a)Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, in order to facilitate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent one or more Intellectual Property Security Agreements to further evidence the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights.

(c)Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Credit Parties shall have no duties with respect to any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of any Grantor.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.16(c), Grantors acknowledge and agree that no Credit Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but the Collateral Agent may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of the Borrowers and may be chargeable to the Loan Account.

(d)Each Grantor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a written report of all new Patents, Trademarks or Material Copyrights that are registered or the subject of pending applications for registrations, and of all Intellectual Property Licenses that are material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business at the times set forth in Section 6.02(b)(i)(D) of the Loan Agreement (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, more frequently if requested by the Collateral Agent), in each case, which were acquired, registered, or for which applications for registration were filed by any Grantor during the prior period and any statement of use or amendment to allege use with respect to intent-to-use trademark applications.  In the case of such registrations or applications therefor (except for Copyrights, only Material Copyrights), which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Intellectual Property.  In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable Grantor shall promptly cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such Patent, Trademark and Material Copyright registrations and applications therefor (with the exception of Trademark applications filed on an intent-to-use basis for which no statement of use or amendment to allege use has been filed) and material Intellectual Property Licenses as being subject to the security interests created thereunder.

Upon receipt from the United States Copyright Office of notice of registration of any Material Copyright, each Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such receipt) notify (but without duplication of any notice required by Section 6.14(d)) the Collateral Agent of such registration by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent sufficient for the Collateral Agent to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Material Copyright.  If any Grantor acquires from any Person any Material Copyright registered with the United States Copyright Office or an application to register any Material Copyright with the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such acquisition) notify the Collateral Agent of such acquisition and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent sufficient for the Collateral Agent to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Material Copyright.  In the case of such Material Copyright registrations or applications therefor which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such acquisition) file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Material Copyrights.

(f)[Intentionally omitted].

(g)No Grantor shall enter into any Intellectual Property License to receive any license or rights in any Intellectual Property of any other Person that is necessary in the conduct such Grantor’s business unless such Grantor has used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder) to the (and any transferees) of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.02Power of Attorney.  Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, (a) at any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 2.01 of this Agreement, (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement, (i) to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 5.01(a) of this Agreement; and (ii) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, and (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement, (i) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (ii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading storage receipts, warehouse receipts or other documents of title relating to any of the Collateral; (iii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any notice to such Grantor’s Account Debtors; (iv) to sign the name of any Grantor on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors, and on notices of lien, claims of mechanic’s liens, or assignments or releases of mechanic’s liens securing the Accounts; (v) to sign change of address forms to change the address to which each Grantor’s mail is to be sent to such address as the Collateral Agent shall designate; (vi) to receive and open each Grantor’s mail, remove any Proceeds of Collateral therefrom and turn over the balance of such mail either to the Lead Borrower or to any trustee in bankruptcy or receiver of a Grantor, or other legal representative of a Grantor whom the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be the appropriate person to whom to so turn over such mail; (vii) 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; (viii) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (ix) to take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit and/or banker’s acceptance of which any Grantor is a beneficiary; (x) to repair, manufacture, assemble, complete, package, deliver, alter or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any customer of any Grantor; (xi) to use, license or transfer any or all General Intangibles of any Grantor, subject to those restrictions to which such Grantor is subject under applicable Law and by contract; (xii) to cause all

21

Documents (including, without limitation, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading storage receipts, warehouse receipts or other documents of title) to name the Collateral Agent as consignee and to obtain control over the Documents; (xiii) 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 reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; (xiv) to use any Intellectual Property of such Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor (to the extent permitted by such Intellectual Property Licenses) in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts, Letters of Credit, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper or Documents, of such Grantor; and (xv) to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor (to the extent permitted by such Intellectual Property Licenses) and, if the Collateral Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, or to present or file any claim or notice.  It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of each Grantor for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.  To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 5.03No Obligation to Act.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 5.02, but if the Collateral Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act, except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that the subject act or omission to act has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.  The provisions of Section 5.02 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by applicable Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE 6

Remedies

SECTION 6.01Remedies upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

(a)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles), Letters of Credit, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, Investment Property and any other Collateral, the Collateral Agent may collect the Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.

(b)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Collateral Agent may: (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Collateral Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Accounts and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the Collateral Agent’s rights set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

(c)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Collateral Agent may: (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received as provided in Section 5.03 hereof; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as

23

Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Secured Obligations; and (iii) demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Investment Property under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

(d)With respect to any Collateral, the Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor.  The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory or other Collateral with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor).  Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory or other Collateral (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein.  Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(e)With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Collateral Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Collateral Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors.  In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Collateral Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.01, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Collateral Agent’s exercise of the Collateral

24

Agent’s Rights and Remedies (as defined herein) hereunder, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)The Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and such Grantor.

(g)The Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to name the Collateral Agent as consignee on any Documents and to furnish the Collateral Agent with control over any such Documents.

(h)Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(i)Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Collateral Agent shall provide the Grantors such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made.  Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to such Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition 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.  Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.  Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

25

(j)Any 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 of such sale.  At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Collateral Agent on credit, the Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment in full is received thereon by the Collateral Agent.  In the event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and apply the proceeds from such resale in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 of this Agreement.

(k)At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, 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 the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from any Grantor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.

(l)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 Grantor 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 Secured Obligations indefeasibly paid in full.

(m)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 upon the Collateral 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.

(n)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(o)The Collateral Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor

26

itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses (to the extent permitted by such Intellectual Property Licenses) in connection with the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Equity Interests that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees.

(p)Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.02Application of Proceeds.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, or any Collateral granted under any other of the Collateral Documents, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Loan Agreement.

The Collateral 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 or other disposition of the 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 by the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of 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.

ARTICLE 7

Perfection of Security Interest

SECTION 7.01Perfection by Filing.  This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section 5.02, to file one or more Financing Statements or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Grantors shall pay the Collateral Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

27

SECTION 7.02Other Perfection, Etc.  Each Grantor shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the Collateral Agent (a) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Collateral Agent, (b) to obtain Control of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper, with any agreements establishing Control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and (c) otherwise to insure the continued perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral with the priority described in Section 3.03 and of the preservation of its rights therein (including, but not limited to, the execution on behalf of the Grantors (including supplementing or changing the schedules thereof) and filing of Intellectual Property Security Agreements (and amendments thereto) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office).

SECTION 7.03Savings Clause.  Nothing contained in this Article 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in any of the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder except (and then only to the extent) as mandated by the UCC.

ARTICLE 8

Miscellaneous

SECTION 8.03Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured 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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan 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 the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

(c)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Grantor shall assert, and each Grantor hereby waives, 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, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any

SECTION 8.08Waivers; Amendment.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such

31

waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 8.09WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.09.

SECTION 8.10Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.11Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.14Termination; Release of Collateral.

(a)Any Lien upon any Collateral will be released automatically if the Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Loan Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days prior written request by the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Collateral described in this Section 8.14; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Grantor in respect of) all interests retained by any Grantor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b)Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the Security Interest granted herein shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC-3 termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Security Interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 8.15Conflict.

(a)The provisions of the Pledge Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Pledge Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Pledge Agreements, the terms of the Pledge Agreements shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the applicable Pledge Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

(b)The provisions of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the

34

Intellectual Property Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 8.16Marshaling.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

SECTION 8.17Collateral Agent.  Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

SECTION 8.18Merger; Integration.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 8.19Construction.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

SECTION 8.20Incorporation by Reference.  All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 8.21Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of

35

the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to any Grantor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the ABL Agent is in possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such ABL Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the ABL Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral is by, the ABL Agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Security Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2012 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), by and among (a) each of the Persons listed on Schedule I to the Security Agreement (each such Person, individually, a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”), (b) each of the Persons listed on Schedule II to the Security Agreement (each such Person, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), (c) such other Persons that become party from time to time to the Security Agreement as a “Grantor” pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Security Agreement (the Persons set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are hereinafter referred to, individually, as a “Grantor” and, collectively with any other Borrower or Guarantor now or hereafter party hereto, as the “Grantors”), and (d) CC Holdings Agency Corp., a Delaware corporation, as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties.  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Security Agreement, or if not defined therein, in the Loan Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement).

This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned (the “New Grantor”), pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Security Agreement.  The New Grantor hereby agrees to be bound as a [Borrower/Guarantor] and as a Grantor party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns (or, with respect to the Intellectual Property, collaterally assigns) and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a continuing Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or

hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a [Borrower/Guarantor] and Grantor under the Security Agreement.  The New Grantor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Grantors contained in the Security Agreement.

Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Security Agreement with respect to the New Grantor.  Such supplements shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement.

This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Joinder Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

This Joinder Agreement is a Loan Document.  The Security Agreement, as supplemented hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties that this Joinder Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the New Grantor and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizational, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

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

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.

(e)           All IP Collateral owned by such Grantor is, and shall remain, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, or security interests in favor of any Person, other than Permitted Encumbrances and non-exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property granted in the ordinary course of business.

(f)            Such Grantor owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property reasonably necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use by such Grantor of any of its Intellectual Property, or the validity or effectiveness of any of its Intellectual Property, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The use by such Grantor of the Intellectual Property does not infringe the rights of any Person in any material respect.  No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g)           Such Grantor shall give the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a), (b) and (c)(ii) of the

6

Loan Agreement, written notice, with reasonable detail, following the occurrence of such Grantor’s knowing, or having reason to know, (A) that any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property may, become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or (B) of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the PTO, the Copyright Office or any court or tribunal) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity or enforceability of, any Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same, except, in each case, where such forfeiture, abandonment, dedication, determination, development, or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.           Agreement Applies to Future Intellectual Property.

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply to any such additional property or rights described in Section 4(g) or in Section 4.16 of the Security Agreement, above, all of which shall be deemed to be and treated as “Intellectual Property” within the meaning of this Agreement. Following the acquisition by any Grantor of any additional Intellectual Property required to be reported (or notice given to) the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement, such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a), (b) and (c)(ii) of the Loan Agreement, an updated EXHIBIT A, B, and/or C (as applicable) to this Agreement and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file, at such Grantor’s expense, such updated Exhibit as set forth in Section 5(b).

(b)           Each of the Grantors shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, filings with the PTO, the Copyright Office or any similar office), and each of the Grantors hereby constitutes the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all such acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent’s taking of such action shall not be a condition to the creation or perfection of the security interest created hereby.

SECTION 6.           Grantors’ Rights To Enforce Intellectual Property.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, so long as such Grantors are acting in accordance with Section 4.16(b) of the Security Agreement with respect to such infringement actions, the Grantors shall have the exclusive right to sue for past, present and future infringement of the Intellectual Property, including the right to seek injunctions and/or money damages in an effort by the Grantors to protect the Intellectual Property against encroachment by third parties, provided, however, that:

(a)           The Grantors provide the Collateral Agent with written notice of the Grantors’ institution of any legal proceedings for enforcement of any Intellectual

7

Property, the infringement of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)           Any money damages awarded or received by the Grantors on account of such suit (or the threat of such suit) shall constitute IP Collateral.

(c)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, by notice to the Grantors, may terminate or limit the Grantor’s rights under this Section 6.

SECTION 7.           Collateral Agent’s Actions To Protect Intellectual Property.  In the event of:

(a)           any Grantor’s failure to perform or observe any of such Grantor’s covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder; and/or

(b)           the occurrence and continuance of any other Event of Default,

the Collateral Agent, acting in its own name or in that of any Grantor, may (but shall not be required to) act in any Grantor’s place and stead and/or in the Collateral Agent’s own right in connection therewith.

SECTION 8.           Rights Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of New York or under other applicable Law, with respect to the Intellectual Property, in addition to which the Collateral Agent may sell, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Intellectual Property, subject to those restrictions to which such Grantor is subject under applicable Law and by contract.  Any Person may conclusively rely upon an affidavit of an officer of the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and that the Collateral Agent is authorized to exercise such rights and remedies; provided, however, such an affidavit is not required to exercise any such rights and remedies or for any such Person to rely on the Collateral Agent or any officer, agent or representative thereof.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the use by the Collateral Agent of all Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses and other Intellectual Property shall be worldwide and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from the Collateral Agent to the Grantors.

SECTION 9.           Collateral Agent As Attorney-In-Fact.

(a)           Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as and for such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each

8

Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties:

(i)            To supplement and amend from time to time EXHIBITS A, B and C of this Agreement to include any newly developed, applied for, registered, or acquired Intellectual Property of such Grantor and any intent-to-use Trademark applications for which a statement of use or an amendment to allege use has been filed and accepted by the PTO;

(ii)           To exercise any of the rights and powers referenced herein; and

(iii)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute all such instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of such rights and remedies and to cause the sale, license, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of the Intellectual Property, subject to those restrictions to which such Grantor is subject under applicable Law and by contract.

(b)           The power of attorney granted herein, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 13.

(c)           The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 9(a), but if the Collateral Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act, except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that the subject act or omission to act has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 10.         Collateral Agent’s Rights.  Any use by the Collateral Agent of the Intellectual Property, as authorized hereunder in connection with the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, shall be coextensive with the Grantor’s rights thereunder and with respect thereto and without any liability for royalties or other related charges.

SECTION 11.         Intent.  This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of registering and confirming the grant of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the IP Collateral with the PTO and the Copyright Office.  It is intended that the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the Security Interest (as defined in the Security Agreement) granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this

9

Agreement and the IP Collateral, as applicable.  The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement or limit any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Grantors under the Security Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 12.         Further Assurances.  Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest or Lien in the IP Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the rights and remedies created hereby or the validity or priority of such security interest or Lien, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest or Lien and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  The obligations under this Section 12 shall not apply to actions associated with requirements of the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States.

SECTION 13.         Termination; Release of IP Collateral.  Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest or Lien granted herein shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest or Lien granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 14.         GOVERNING LAW.  IT IS INTENDED THAT ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, AND PERFORMANCE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 15.         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed

10

counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 16.         Headings.  Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 17.         Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 18.         Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Grantor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 13  hereof.

SECTION 19.         Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of each Grantor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each Grantor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by a Grantor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

SECTION 20.         Waivers; Amendment.

(a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be

11

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor 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 to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 21.         Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 22.         Marshaling.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the IP Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or

12

under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

SECTION 23.         Collateral Agent.  Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

SECTION 24.         Merger; Integration.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 25.         Construction.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

SECTION 26.         Incorporation by Reference.  All of the exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 27.         Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver.  AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.

SECTION 28.         Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured 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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan 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 the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

13

SECTION 29.         Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor expressly acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to any Grantor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the ABL Agent is in possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such ABL Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the ABL Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral is by, the ABL Agent.

2.2No Alteration of Priority.  The priorities set forth in this Agreement in respect of Collateral are applicable irrespective of the order, time, method or manner of the creation, attachment, or perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien in favor of each Secured Creditor in any Collateral, and notwithstanding any conflicting terms or conditions which may be contained in any of the Obligation Documents, any provision of any agreement, document, instrument or applicable law and notwithstanding any failure, defect or deficiency or alleged failure, defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that the Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and the Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations as of the date hereof be identical in all material respects (except with respect to priorities as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof) and, in furtherance of such intent, the parties hereto agree:  (a) to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any request by the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, the specific assets included in the Collateral securing their respective Obligations, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under any Obligation Document, and (b) any Lien obtained by any Lender in respect of any judgment obtained in respect of any obligations shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement.

19

of the Term Loan Obligations or the Revolving Credit Obligations; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Term Loan Agent or the Revolving Agent to enforce this Agreement.

2.4Limitation on New Liens.

(a)The parties hereto acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Liens of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Credit Documents do not encumber any assets of any Obligor which assets are not subject to a Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents and (b) the Liens of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents do not encumber any assets of any Obligor which assets are not subject to a Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Credit Documents.

(b)Until the Revolving Credit Obligations have been Paid in Full, no Term Loan Creditor shall acquire after the initial closing date under the Term Loan Credit Agreement any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Term Loan Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents, unless the Revolving Agent shall be notified thereof and shall have had an opportunity to create a Lien thereon comparable to the Lien thereon in favor of the Term Loan Creditors, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Revolving Agent shall have had an opportunity to create such a comparable Lien and shall have failed to do so beyond 30 days after the later of (x) the date it receives notice thereof and (y) the date it has the opportunity to create such comparable Lien, the Term Loan Creditors shall nevertheless be entitled to create and maintain such Lien on such assets though they are not also subject to the Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents.  Such Liens, if created in favor of the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties and the Revolving Agent or Revolving Secured Parties shall be subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein.  If any Term Loan Creditor shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Term Loan Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents (other than by reason of the failure of the Revolving Agent or the other Revolving Creditors to obtain such a Lien as contemplated by the first sentence hereof), subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein, then the Term Loan Agent (or the relevant Term Loan Creditor) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Loan Creditor and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Loan Document be deemed to also hold and have held, and the applicable Obligors hereby grant in favor of the Revolving Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Creditors as security for the Revolving Credit Obligations, such a comparable Lien for the benefit of the Revolving Agent as security for the Revolving Credit Obligations (subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein and other terms hereof) and the Company shall promptly notify the Revolving Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien.

(c)Until the Term Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full, no Revolving Creditor shall acquire after the initial closing date under the Revolving Credit Agreement any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Revolving Credit Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Credit Documents, unless the Term Loan Agent shall be notified thereof and shall have had an opportunity to create a Lien thereon comparable to the Lien thereon in favor of the Revolving Loan Creditors, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term Loan Agent shall have had an opportunity to create such a comparable Lien and shall have failed to do so beyond 30 days after the later of (x) the date it receives notice thereof and (y) the date it has the opportunity to create such comparable Lien, the Revolving Loan Creditors shall nevertheless be entitled to create and maintain such Lien on such assets though they are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Credit Documents.  Such Liens, if created in favor of the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties and the Revolving Agent or Revolving Secured Parties shall be subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein.  If any Revolving Creditor shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Revolving Credit Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan

20

Agent under the Term Credit Documents (other than by reason of the failure of the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Creditors to obtain such a Lien as contemplated by the first sentence hereof), subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein, then the Revolving Agent (or the relevant Revolving Creditor) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Revolving Creditor and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Revolving Credit Document be deemed to also hold and have held, and the applicable Obligors hereby grant in favor of the Term Loan Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Creditors as security for the Term Loan Obligations, such a comparable Lien for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent as security for the Term Loan Obligations (subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein and other terms hereof) and the Company shall promptly notify the Term Loan Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien.

2.5Proceeds of Collateral.  Subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 6.5, any Non-Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Secured Creditor including, without limitation, any such Non-Priority Collateral constituting Proceeds, or any payment or Distribution, that may be received by any Secured Creditor (a) in connection with the exercise of any Enforcement Action, (b) in connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) as to Non-Priority Collateral, (c) from the collection or other Disposition of, or realization on, Non-Priority Collateral, whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding (but excluding any collection and application from a deposit account or securities account which does not constitute an Enforcement Action), or (d) in violation of this Agreement, shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Priority Secured Creditor, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Junior Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the Priority Secured Creditor to make any such endorsements as agent for such Junior Secured Creditor (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).  The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that the Revolving Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment and that in the ordinary course of business Revolving Agent will apply Proceeds of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof (which may not permanently reduce such revolving commitment) and may make advances thereunder from time to time, and may apply Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral not required pursuant to the provisions of the Term Credit Documents as in effect on the date hereof or this Agreement to be paid over to the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Creditors to repay Revolving Credit Obligations in the ordinary course, and the Term Loan Agent further agrees that if Revolving Agent takes any Enforcement Action constituting setoff against a deposit account or securities account or the application of any amounts on deposit therein in either case which results in the receipt of identifiable Cash Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral by the Revolving Agent, that Revolving Agent shall have no obligation to turnover such amounts (and such amounts shall be deemed Revolving Loan Priority Collateral) to the extent (x) Revolving Agent makes further advances following such Enforcement Action or application of funds provided that at the time of making such advances Revolving Agent had no knowledge that any amounts so taken constituted identifiable Cash Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral or (y) Term Loan Agent fails to notify in writing Revolving Agent within 90 days of such Enforcement Action or application that Revolving Agent has received identifiable Cash Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral, which notification shall specifically set forth the amount of such Cash Proceeds and the source of same.  The Revolving Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that the Term Loan Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring prepayment of the Term Loan Obligations in a manner permitted by the Revolving Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and that the Obligors may continue to make such prepayments of Term Loan Obligations (other than during an Insolvency Proceeding, in which case Revolving Agent shall be permitted to contest such payments) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and the Revolving Agent further agrees that if Term Loan Agent takes any Enforcement Action constituting setoff against a deposit account or securities account or the application of any amounts on deposit therein in either case which results in the receipt of identifiable Cash Proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral by the Term Loan Agent, that Term Loan Agent shall have no

21

obligation to turnover such amounts (and such amounts shall be deemed Term Loan Priority Collateral) to the extent (x) Term Loan Agent makes further advances following such Enforcement Action provided that at the time of making such advances Term Loan Agent had no knowledge that any amounts so taken constituted identifiable Cash Proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral or (y) Revolving Agent fails to notify in writing Term Loan Agent within 90 days of such Enforcement Action that Term Loan Agent has received identifiable Cash Proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral and Term Loan Agent had no knowledge that any amounts so taken constituted identifiable Cash Proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, which notification shall specifically set forth the amount of such Cash Proceeds and the source of same.

2.6Release of Collateral Upon Permitted Collateral Sale.  Each Junior Secured Creditor shall at any time in connection with any Permitted Collateral Sale of Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral and that is made free and clear of the Liens of the Priority Secured Creditors (such Lien continuing as to Proceeds until application in accordance with Section 2.11):  (a) upon the request of the Priority Secured Creditor as to such Collateral subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale, release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral (provided that such Lien shall continue as to Proceeds thereof until application in accordance with Section 2.11), (b) promptly deliver such terminations of financing statements, partial lien releases, mortgage satisfactions and discharges, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer, termination or release (collectively, “Release Documents”) and take such further actions as the Priority Secured Creditor shall reasonably require in order to release and/or terminate such Junior Secured Creditor’s Liens on such Collateral subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale (but not the Proceeds of such Collateral), and (c) be deemed to have consented under the applicable Obligation Documents to such Permitted Collateral Sale free and clear of the Junior Secured Creditor’s security interest (it being understood that the Junior Secured Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security interest with respect to the Proceeds of such Collateral until application in accordance with Section 2.11) and to have waived the provisions of the applicable Obligation Documents to the extent necessary to permit such transaction.

2.7Release of Collateral Upon Release Event.  The Junior Secured Creditor shall, at any time in connection with a Release Event with respect to any Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral:  (a) upon the request of the Priority Secured Creditor with respect to such Collateral subject to such Release Event (which request will specify the principal proposed terms of the sale and the type and amount of consideration expected to be received in connection therewith), release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral (provided that such Lien shall continue as to Proceeds thereof until application in accordance with Section 2.11), to the extent the Disposition of such Collateral is either by (i) the Priority Secured Creditor or its agents or representatives or (ii) any Obligor with the consent of the Priority Secured Creditor, (b) be deemed to have consented under the applicable Obligation Documents to such Disposition free and clear of the Junior Secured Creditor’s Liens (it being understood that the Junior Secured Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security interest with respect to the Proceeds of such Collateral until application in accordance with Section 2.11) and to have waived the provisions of the applicable Obligation Documents to the extent necessary to permit such transaction and (c) deliver such Release Documents and take such further actions as Priority Secured Creditor may reasonably require in connection therewith; provided that such release by the Junior Secured Creditor shall not extend to, or otherwise affect any of the rights of the Junior Secured Creditor to, the Proceeds from any such Disposition of such Collateral subject to the provisions hereof.  Each Priority Secured Creditor agrees to give each Junior Secured Creditor at least seven (7) days prior written notice of any Release Event (other than in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding) with respect to Collateral.

2.8Power of Attorney.  As to any Collateral that, as to any Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral, such Junior Secured Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Priority Secured Creditor as to such Collateral and any officer of such Priority Secured Creditor, with full power

22

2.9Waiver.  Each Secured Creditor (a) waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the Obligation Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Creditors upon this Agreement and protest, demand for payment or notice except to the extent otherwise specified herein and (b) acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Creditors have relied upon the Lien priority and other provisions hereof in entering into the Obligation Documents and in making funds available to the Company, subject to the provisions hereof.

If the Revolving Agent and Term Loan Agent are unable to agree on such allocation within ten (10) days (or such other period of time to which Revolving Agent and Term Loan Agent, mutually agree) of the consummation of such Disposition, the portion of such Proceeds that shall be allocated as Proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral for purposes of this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the net book value of the Accounts included in the Collateral so disposed of (determined at the time of such Disposition) and (ii) the net orderly liquidation value of the Inventory included in the Collateral so Disposed of determined based upon the appraised value ascribed thereto in the calculation of the “Borrowing Base” under and as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, before giving effect to any reserves or similar charges against such Inventory, with the balance of the Proceeds to be allocated to the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

Section 3.Enforcement of Security.

3.1No Duties of Priority Secured Creditor.  Each Junior Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the Priority Secured Creditor shall not have any duties or other obligations to such Junior Secured Creditor with respect to any Priority Collateral, other than to transfer to such Junior Secured Creditor any remaining Collateral that constitutes Non-Priority Collateral and any Proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any such Collateral that constitutes Non-Priority Collateral remaining in its possession following the Payment in Full of the associated Priority Obligations, in each case without representation or warranty on the part of the Priority Secured Creditor.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Junior Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that until the Payment in Full of the associated Priority Obligations secured by any Collateral on which such Junior Secured Creditor holds a Lien, the Priority Secured Creditor shall be entitled, for the benefit of the holders of such Priority Obligations, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with such Collateral, as provided in the Priority Documents but in no event inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, without regard to any junior Lien or any rights to which the holders of the Junior Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Lien, except as otherwise provided herein.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Secured Creditor agrees that the Priority Secured Creditor shall not have any duty or obligation first to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral (or any other collateral securing the Priority Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to such Junior Secured Creditor, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such Junior Secured Creditor from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.  Following the Payment in Full of the associated Priority Obligations, the Junior Secured Creditor may, subject to any other agreements binding on such Junior Secured Creditor, assert their rights under the New York UCC or otherwise to any Proceeds remaining following a sale, disposition or other liquidation of Collateral by, or on behalf of, the Priority Secured Creditor or the Junior Secured Creditor.  Each Junior Secured Creditor waives any claim such Junior Secured Creditor may now or hereafter have against the Priority Secured Creditor arising out of any actions which the Priority Secured Creditor takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral, and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Priority Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority Documents, or arising out of the collection of the Priority Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Priority Obligations if effected in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority Documents.

3.2Management of Collateral.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Priority Secured Creditor shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the applicable Obligation Documents with respect to its Priority Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its sole discretion and the exercise of its sole business judgment, including the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of such Priority Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, Dispose of, or liquidate such Priority Collateral and to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction.  In conducting any public or private sale under the UCC of its Priority Collateral, the Priority Secured Creditor shall give the Junior Secured Creditor such notice (a “UCC Notice”) of such sale as may be required by the applicable UCC; provided, however, that 10 days’ notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice.  Except as specifically provided in this Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 below, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to a Junior Secured Creditor under any of the applicable Obligation Documents, applicable law or otherwise, no Junior Secured Creditor shall, directly or indirectly, take any Enforcement Action with respect to Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral; provided that, subject at all times to the provisions of Section 2, upon the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period, a Junior

3.5Collateral In Possession.

(a)Each of the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or has “control” (as defined in the UCC) over Collateral for purposes of perfecting its Lien therein, such possession or control is also for the benefit of, and the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent, or such third party on its behalf, as applicable, will be deemed to be holding such Collateral as agent for, the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Creditors or the Revolving Agent and the other Revolving Creditors, as applicable, as agent and bailee for perfection, solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Collateral.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent (or any third party acting on either such Person’s behalf) with respect to such Collateral or provide the Term Loan Agent, any other Term Loan Creditor, the Revolving Agent or any other Revolving Creditor, as applicable, with any rights with respect to such Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Credit Documents, as applicable.  Promptly following the Term Loan Termination Date or Revolving Credit Termination Date, as the case may be, the Term Loan Agent or the Revolving Agent, as the case may be, shall, upon the request of the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as the case may be, deliver, or cause any third party holding such Collateral on its behalf to deliver, the remainder of the Collateral, if any, in its possession to the designee of the requesting Secured Creditor (except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or court order).

(b)It is understood and agreed that this Section 3.5 is intended solely to assure continuous perfection of the Liens granted under the applicable Obligation Documents, and nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be deemed or construed as altering the priorities or obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.  The duties of each party under this Section 3.5 shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and no party shall have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other party.

3.6Waiver of Marshalling and Similar Rights.  Each Secured Creditor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives as to each other Secured Creditor any requirement regarding, and agrees not to demand, request, plead or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisement, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law.

27

assemble the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, and (y) shall not hinder or restrict in any respect and, to the extent the Term Loan Agent has the legal right to grant access, shall permit, the Revolving Agent, its employees, agents, advisers and representatives or any other Person, including an Obligor, with the consent of the Revolving Agent, at the sole cost and expense of the Revolving Creditors, to enter upon and use any parcel or item of Term Loan Priority Collateral (including Equipment, Fixtures, intellectual property or real property), during the Access Period for such parcel or item of Term Priority Collateral for purposes of (A) assembling and storing the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, (B) selling any or all of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral located on premises constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots, to customers in the ordinary course of business, in connection with “store closing” or “going out of business” sales or otherwise, (C) removing any or all of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral located on premises constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, and/or (D) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure, and otherwise enforce the rights of the Revolving Agent in and to the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of the Term Loan Agent from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring (or causing to be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred) any Term Loan Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Access Period if, to the extent applicable with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral being sold, assigned or transferred, the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.8(a).  Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels or items of Term Loan Priority Collateral at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such parcel or items.  During any pertinent Access Period, to the extent that the Term Loan Agent has foreclosed and is in control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Revolving Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent free right to use, such Term Loan Priority Collateral for the purposes described above; provided, that the Revolving Creditors shall be liable for any damage to such Term Loan Priority Collateral caused by the Revolving Agent, its agents, representatives or designees pursuant to clause (ii) below, provided, further, that the Revolving Creditors shall not be liable for any ordinary wear and tear or any normal depreciation in value of such Term Loan Priority Collateral during the Access Period.

(b)Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent are as of the date hereof and in the future may become parties to agreements with landlords that (i) provide access to the real property leased to Borrower by such landlord and (ii) obligate Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent, jointly and

28

severally, to pay rent and other amounts in exchange for access to such real property (“Designated Landlord Agreements”).  Neither Revolving Agent nor the Term Loan Agent shall exercise any rights under a Landlord Agreement to obtain access to any such real property unless (i) Priority Collateral of Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, is located on such property, or the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, is entitled to take Enforcement Action as to Non-Priority Collateral located on such property under Section 3.2, and (ii) Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, shall have provided (absent Exigent Circumstances) at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the other (or, in the case of Exigent Circumstances, with such notice as can be provided under the circumstances).  Upon receipt of any such notice, Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, shall respond by written notice delivered within five (5) days as to whether the responder wishes to participate in the exercise of such rights, provided, that the party first exercising such rights shall not be required to postpone accessing the real property pending a response.  The failure to respond shall be deemed to indicate an election not to participate in such exercise. In the event that the responder indicates that it wishes to participate, the responder shall be entitled to equal access with the exercising party to the applicable real property and all amounts payable by Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent under the applicable Designated Landlord Agreement in respect of such exercise of rights shall be shared equally (other than any amounts in respect of damages to the real property to the extent caused by Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent or their agents or designated representatives, which amounts shall be payable by the party causing such damage). In the event that Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent indicates that it does not wish to participate or fails to respond the non-participating or non-responding party shall not be entitled to access while such other party has access unless such non-participating or non-responding party thereafter elects to participate in the exercise of rights as aforesaid, pays one-half of all amounts theretofore paid the by exercising party in respect of such exercise and agrees to be bound by the preceding provisions of this Section 3.8(b).  Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, having exercised such rights, shall indemnify and hold harmless the non-exercising party from and against any amounts payable under the Designated Landlord Agreement by the non-exercising party as a result of such exercise. In the event that the Term Loan Obligations or Revolving Credit Obligations are Paid in Full, and thereafter the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent exercises rights under a Landlord Agreement, the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless the other in respect of any amounts payable by the non-exercising party under the Designated Landlord Agreement as a result of such exercise, and as to this paragraph (b), this Agreement shall not terminate until both the Term Loan Obligations and Revolving Credit Obligations are Paid in Full.

(c)The Term Loan Agent hereby agrees not to interfere with the right of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement to visit and inspect the properties of the Company or any of the Obligors and to conduct examinations, appraisals and verifications of the Collateral.

(d)The Revolving Agent hereby agrees not to interfere with the right of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Credit Agreement to visit and inspect the properties of the Company or any of the Obligors and to conduct examinations and verifications of the Collateral.

3.9License for Term Loan Priority Collateral.  The Term Loan Agent, for itself and each of the Term Loan Creditors, to the extent it may acquire an ownership interest therein, hereby grants in favor of Revolving Agent, a nonexclusive right to use, license and/or sublicense any now existing or hereafter acquired Term Loan Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property, including trademarks and trade names, for the purpose of enabling Revolving Agent its employees, agents, advisors, and representatives and any other Person, including Obligor, with the consent of the Revolving Agent to assemble, prepare for sale, advertise, market and dispose of any and all Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, wherever such Revolving Loan Priority Collateral may be located, including all such license and right access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs

29

This license right shall inure to the benefit of the Revolving Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such license right is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or license fee, be made to the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Creditor or any other Person by Revolving Agent or any other Person.  Term Loan Agent, for itself and each of the Term Loan Creditors, agrees not to interfere, hinder, restrict or delay the exercise by Revolving Agent of any such license and right granted herein and agrees to execute such documentation and complete such other acts as may be required by Revolving Agent in connection with the exercise of such license and right, including preservation of such license and right against any Person (including any voluntary or involuntary transferee of such Term Loan Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property). The rights and remedies of Revolving Agent in this Section 3.9 are in addition to and not in limitation of the rights and remedies under the Revolving Credit Documents or applicable law. The provisions of this Section 3.9 are agreed to solely as among the Secured Creditors and shall not be deemed to expand or otherwise modify any rights granted by any Obligor to the Secured Creditors under any of the Obligation Documents.  The Term Loan Agent makes no representation or warranty to the Revolving Agent or Revolving Agent’s successors and assigns, as to the effectiveness or value of any right to use, license or sublicense granted in this Section 3.9 and has performed no diligence as to whether it is entitled to provide any such right to use, license or sublicense, and shall have no liability to the Revolving Agent for Term Loan Agent’s failure to have any such right or the failure of any such license to be valid or effective for any purpose whatsoever. Revolving Agent acknowledges that the Term Loan Agent, as of the date hereof, has no title to any Term Loan Priority Collateral and that its interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral as of the date hereof is a security interest.

33

person or group with the consent of the Revolving Agent) under the Bankruptcy Code (“Revolving Creditor DIP Financing”) or the use of cash collateral that is Revolving Credit Priority Collateral (“Revolver Cash Collateral”) with the consent (or non-objection) of the Revolving Creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, and the Revolving Agent on behalf of the Revolving Creditors consents (or does not object) to such use of Revolver Cash Collateral or Revolving Creditor DIP Financing, then subject to Section 6.2, the Term Loan Creditors agree as follows:

(i)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (ii)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) below, such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing (and any Revolving Credit Obligations which arose prior to the Insolvency Proceeding) may be secured by Liens on all or a part of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral which shall be superior in priority to the Liens on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral held by any other Person (or pari passu in priority with the Liens of the Revolving Creditors in the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and senior to the Liens on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral of any other Person), and

(ii)so long as (A) the aggregate principal amount of loans and letter of credit obligations outstanding under any such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing, together with the outstanding principal amount of the pre-petition Revolving Credit Obligations, does not exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit Principal Amount plus $5,000,000, (B) the Term Loan Creditors retain a Lien on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law (junior in priority as to Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing and junior in priority as to Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations, including Senior Adequate Protection Liens and junior to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Revolving Agent or other Revolving Creditors), (C) the Term Loan Creditors receive a replacement Lien on post-petition assets, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing, to any such “carve-out” and to the existing Liens in favor of the Revolving Agent on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral), (D) the Revolving Creditor DIP Financing is structured with a borrowing base and not as a cash flow facility (provided nothing herein shall prohibit the Revolving Creditors from authorizing or consenting to Revolver Cash Collateral which is not subject to a borrowing base), and (E) the Revolving Creditor DIP Financing, including the borrowing base (and the components thereof), shall be on terms which would not result in a violation of the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof:

(1)the Term Loan Creditors will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such Revolver Cash Collateral or the Liens on Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 6.2 below,

(2)the Term Loan Creditors will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) their Liens in their Non-Priority Collateral (X) to the Liens securing such Revolving Creditor DIP Financing on the same terms (but on a basis junior to the Liens in Priority Collateral of the Revolving Creditors) as the Liens of the Revolving Creditors in their Priority Collateral are subordinated thereto (except that if the Liens securing such

34

Revolving Creditor DIP Financing are to be pari passu in priority with the Liens of the Revolving Creditors in the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations or the Revolving Credit Obligations to be paid in connection with such Revolving Credit DIP Financing, the Term Loan Creditors shall nonetheless subordinate their Non-Priority Collateral to such Liens and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (Y) to any Senior Adequate Protection Liens or “replacement Liens” granted to the Revolving Creditors as adequate protection of their interests in their Priority Collateral, and (Z) to any “carve-out” in an aggregate amount agreed to by the Revolving Agent or the other Revolving Creditors, provided that such “carve-out” shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, whether such Collateral existed before or after the petition date, and

(3)the Term Loan Creditors (X) shall not contest or oppose in any manner, any Revolving Creditor DIP Financing, or any Revolver Cash Collateral use or any adequate protection provided to the Revolving Creditors as adequate protection of their interests in their Priority Collateral, (Y) shall be deemed to have waived any objections to such adequate protection, Revolving Creditor DIP Financing or Revolver Cash Collateral use, including, without limitation, any objection alleging Obligors’ failure to provide “adequate protection” of the interests of the Term Loan Creditors and (Z) shall be deemed to have consented to the carve-out and to the subordination of the Liens of the Term Loan Agent in the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral that secures the Revolving Credit DIP Financing, in each case pursuant to clause (2) above.

(b)If any Obligor or Obligors shall become subject to Insolvency Proceedings and such Obligor or Obligors as debtor(s)-in-possession (or a trustee appointed on behalf of such Obligor or Obligors) shall move for approval of DIP Financing to be provided by one or more of the Term Loan Creditors or by a third party under the Bankruptcy Code (“Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing”) or the use of cash collateral that is Term Loan Priority Collateral (“Term Loan Cash Collateral”) with the consent (or non-objection) of the Term Loan Creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, and the Term Loan Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Creditors consents (or does not object) to such use of the Term Loan Cash Collateral or Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing, then subject to Section 6.2, the Revolving Creditors agree as follows:

(i)subject to subsection (c) below and to the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (ii)(A), (B) and (C) below, such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing (and any Term Loan Obligations which arose prior to the Insolvency Proceeding) may be secured by Liens on all or a part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral which shall be superior in priority to the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral held by any other Person (or pari passu in priority with the Liens of the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Liens and senior to the Liens of any other Person), and

(ii)so long as (A) the aggregate principal amount of loans and letter of credit accommodations outstanding under any such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing, together with

35

the outstanding principal amount of the pre-petition Term Loan Obligations, does not exceed the Maximum Term Loan Principal Amount plus $5,000,000, (B) the Revolving Creditors retain a Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law (junior in priority as to Term Loan Priority Collateral securing such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing or Term Loan Obligations, including Senior Adequate Protection Liens and junior to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Term Loan Agent or other Term Loan Creditors) and (C) the Revolving Creditors receive a replacement Lien on post-petition assets, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing, to any such “carve-out” and to the existing Liens in favor of the Term Loan Agent on the Term Loan Priority Collateral),

(1)the Revolving Creditors will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such Term Loan Cash Collateral or the Liens on Term Loan Priority Collateral securing such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 6.2 below,

(2)the Revolving Creditors will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) their Liens in their Non-Priority Collateral (X) to the Liens securing such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing on the same terms (but on a basis junior to the Liens in Priority Collateral of the Term Loan Creditors) as the Liens of the Term Loan Creditors in their Priority Collateral are subordinated thereto (except that if the Liens securing such Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing are to be pari passu in priority with the Liens of the Term Loan Creditors in the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, the Revolving Creditors shall nonetheless subordinate their Non-Priority Collateral to such Liens and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (Y) to any Senior Adequate Protection Liens or “replacement Liens” granted to the Term Loan Creditors as adequate protection of their interests in their Priority Collateral, and (Z) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Creditors, provided that such “carve-out” shall be applied to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and

(3)the Revolving Creditors (X) shall not contest or oppose in any manner any Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing, or any Term Loan Cash Collateral use or any adequate protection provided to the Term Loan Creditors as adequate protection of their interests in their Priority Collateral, (Y) shall be deemed to have waived any objections to such adequate protection, Term Loan Creditor DIP Financing or Term Loan Cash Collateral use, including, without limitation, any objection alleging Obligors’ failure to provide “adequate protection” of the interests of the Revolving Creditors and (Z) shall be deemed to have consented to the carve-out and to the subordination of the Liens of the Revolving Agent in the Term Loan Priority Collateral that secures the Term

36

Loan Creditor DIP Financing, in each case pursuant to clause (2) above.

(c)The Term Loan Creditors shall not, directly or indirectly, offer to provide, support any other Person in providing, provide or seek to provide DIP Financing unless Revolving Creditors have not offered a DIP Financing that is in conformity with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.2 and 6.1(a)), within 5 Business Days of the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.  The Term Loan Creditors shall not, directly or indirectly, offer to provide, support any other Person in providing, provide or seek to provide DIP Financing secured by Liens equal or senior to the Liens on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Agent.  In no event will any of the Term Loan Creditors seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by Revolving Creditors to any adequate protection payments using Revolving Credit Priority Collateral. The Revolving Creditors shall not, directly or indirectly, offer to provide, support any other Person in providing, provide or seek to provide DIP Financing secured by Liens equal to or senior to the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, without the written consent of the Term Loan Agent.  In no event will any of the Revolving Creditors seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by Term Loan Creditors to any adequate protection payments using Term Loan Priority Collateral.

6.2Adequate Protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if any Priority Secured Creditor (or any subset thereof) is granted adequate protection in respect of its interests in its Priority Collateral (a “Senior Adequate Protection Lien”) in the form of a replacement Lien, the Junior Secured Creditors may seek (and the Priority Secured Creditors may not oppose) adequate protection of the interests of the Junior Secured Creditors in such Priority Collateral in the form of (i) a replacement Lien on the additional collateral subject to the Senior Adequate Protection Liens (the “Junior Adequate Protection Liens”), which Junior Adequate Protection Liens, if granted, will be subordinate to all Liens (other than Liens (including Senior Adequate Protection Liens) on Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is its Priority Collateral, in which the Liens of the Junior Secured Creditor shall remain senior) securing the Priority Obligations (including, without limitation, the Senior Adequate Protection Liens and any “carve-out” agreed to by the Priority Secured Creditors and any Liens securing debtor-in-possession financing (whether or not constituting DIP Financing) on the same basis as the other Liens of the Junior Secured Creditor on the Priority Secured Creditor’s Priority Collateral securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated under this Agreement (provided that any failure of the Term Loan Creditors or Revolving Creditors to obtain such Junior Adequate Protection Liens shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings and consents of the Term Loan Creditors or Revolving Creditors pursuant to Section 6.1) and (ii) superpriority claims under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to the Priority Secured Creditors on account of any of the Priority Obligations or granted under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any debtor-in-possession financing (whether or not constituting DIP Financing) or use of its cash collateral (e.g. Revolver Cash Collateral or Term Loan Cash Collateral, as applicable); provided that the inability of the Junior Secured Creditors to receive a Lien on actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or proceeds thereof shall not affect the agreements and waivers set forth in this Section 6.2. Each Secured Creditor agrees that it shall not seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of Collateral which do not constitute its Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the applicable Priority Secured Creditor in its sole and absolute discretion).

6.3Sale of Collateral; Waivers.  (a) In any Insolvency Proceeding, the Junior Secured Creditors agree that they will not object to or oppose and will be deemed to have consented to a

37

Disposition of any Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral, free and clear of Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the Priority Secured Creditors with respect to such Collateral have consented to such Disposition.  No Junior Secured Creditor shall initiate or prosecute or join with any other Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever including, without limitation, (i) challenging the enforceability, validity, priority (on terms inconsistent with this Agreement) or perfected status of any Liens on any Collateral securing the Priority Obligations of the Priority Secured Creditors under the applicable Obligation Documents, (ii) asserting any claims which the Company or any other Obligor may hold with respect to the Priority Secured Creditors, or (iii) determination of any other Secured Creditor in respect of any Priority Collateral or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  No Secured Creditor will assert a claim that challenges the perfection or validity of a Lien or Obligations of another Secured Creditor that is based on allegations (x) of fraudulent conveyance, unlawful payment of distributions to equity holders or other like allegations, or (y) that could be asserted with comparable merit against Liens, interests or rights of the Person asserting the claim.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Secured Creditor may credit bid for any assets that are subject to any Disposition in any Insolvency Proceeding in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that (i) unless, prior to or in connection with a successful credit bid, the Revolving Credit Obligations are Paid In Full, no Term Loan Creditor may credit bid on any Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and (ii) unless, prior to or in connection with a successful credit bid, the Term Loan Obligations are Paid In Full, no Revolving Creditor may credit bid on any Term Loan Priority Collateral.

6.4Invalidated Payments.  To the extent that any Secured Creditor receives payments on its Priority Obligations or Proceeds of Priority Collateral for application to its Priority Obligations which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise (and whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise) (each a “Priority Claim Avoidance”), then to the extent of such payment or Proceeds received, such Priority Obligations, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied by such payment or Proceeds shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such payments or Proceeds had not been received by such Priority Secured Creditors, and this Agreement, if theretofore terminated, shall be reinstated in full force and effect as of the date of such Priority Claim Avoidance, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the Priority Secured Creditors and the Junior Secured Creditors provided for herein with respect to any event occurring on or after the date of such Priority Claim Avoidance.  The Junior Secured Creditors further agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with Section 2.11.

6.5Payments.  Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of a Junior Secured Creditor to receive and retain any debt or equity securities that are issued by a reorganized debtor in respect of its Lien in its Non-Priority Collateral pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, provided that any debt securities received by a Junior Secured Creditor to the extent on account of its Junior Obligations in respect of its Non-Priority Collateral that constitutes a “secured claim” within the meaning of Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code will be paid over or otherwise transferred to the Priority Secured Creditor for application in accordance with Section 2.5, unless such distribution is (x) made under a plan that is consented to by the affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of Priority Secured

38

Creditors or (y) is of debt securities that (A) are secured by a Lien on assets of the reorganized debtor which assets are, as to such Junior Secured Creditor in its capacity as Priority Secured Creditor hereunder, of the same character as its Priority Collateral hereunder, and (B) if secured by assets that are of the same character as its Non-Priority Collateral hereunder, such assets referred to in this clause (B) also secure debt securities distributed to the Priority Secured Creditor in respect of its Lien on such Collateral that is its Priority Collateral, and such Lien of the Junior Secured Creditor referred to in this clause (B) is junior in priority to the Lien of the Priority Secured Creditor in such assets to the same extent as the Lien on its Non-Priority Collateral is junior to the Lien thereon of the Priority Secured Creditor as provided herein, and in such case the provisions of the next sentence shall govern.  If, in an Insolvency Proceeding, debt securities of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of the Priority Secured Creditors’ Liens in their Priority Collateral and on account of Junior Secured Creditors’ Liens in such Collateral, then, to the extent the debt securities distributed on account of the Priority Secured Creditors’ Liens in their Priority Collateral and on account of the Junior Secured Creditors’ Liens in such Collateral are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt securities pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt securities.

In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, except as otherwise provided above, all Proceeds of Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, any Distribution which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Junior Obligations as to such Priority Collateral) shall be paid or delivered directly to Priority Secured Creditor (to be held and/or applied by the Priority Secured Creditor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Obligation Documents) until all Priority Obligations are Paid In Full before any of the same shall be made to one or more of the Junior Secured Creditors on account of any Junior Obligations, and each Junior Secured Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions in respect of its Junior Obligations to the Priority Secured Creditor.  Each Junior Secured Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Priority Secured Creditors, in the name of each Junior Secured Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions in respect of any Junior Obligations to which the Priority Secured Creditors are entitled hereunder.

6.6Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  Each Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Term Credit Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of their differing rights in the Collateral, the Revolving Credit Secured Claims are fundamentally different from the Term Loan Secured Claims and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.  No Term Loan Creditor shall seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the Revolving Creditors or shall oppose any pleading or motion for the Revolving Creditors and the Term Loan Creditors to be treated as separate classes of creditors.  No Revolving Creditor shall seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the Term Loan Creditors or shall oppose any pleading or motion for the Revolving Creditors and the Term Loan Creditors to be treated as separate classes of creditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is held that the Revolving Credit Secured Claims and the Term Loan Secured Claims in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the Secured Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims against the Company and the other Obligors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Priority Collateral exceeds the amount of the Priority Obligations, the Priority Secured Creditors as to such Priority Collateral shall be entitled to receive to the extent of such excess, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in

39

respect of post-petition interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable Insolvency Proceeding before any distribution from such Priority Collateral is made in respect of any of the claims held by the Junior Secured Creditors as to such Collateral.

6.7Rights as Unsecured Lenders.  In any Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement, each Secured Creditor may take any action, file any pleading, appear in any proceeding and exercise rights and remedies that could be taken by any unsecured creditor, in its capacity as such.

6.8Relief From the Automatic Stay.  Until the Priority Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Junior Secured Creditor agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Priority Secured Creditor, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any part of the Priority Collateral or any Proceeds thereof; provided, that, in the event the Priority Secured Creditor seeks or requests relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of its Priority Collateral, the Priority Secured Creditor agrees (x) to provide at least 5 days prior written notice to the Junior Secured Creditor of such request and (y) that the Junior Secured Creditor may seek or request similar relief to that sought by the Priority Secured Creditor, so that the Junior Secured Creditor may seek to exercise its rights and remedies under the Junior Documents and against such Collateral and Proceeds thereof subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.9Effect of Agreement in Bankruptcy.  This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Obligor shall be deemed to apply to any trustee for such Obligor and such Obligor as a debtor-in-possession.  The relative rights of the Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving Creditors in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as prior to the date of such filing.  This Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.Representations and Warranties.

The Revolving Credit Agent and the Term Loan Agent each represent and warrant to the other parties hereto that it is authorized under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, to enter into this Agreement.

Section 8.Miscellaneous.

8.1Termination.  Subject to Section 6.4 and subject to Section 3.8(b), this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the first to occur of the Payment in Full of (a) the Term Loan Obligations or (b) the Revolving Credit Obligations.

8.2Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)     ��     This Agreement shall be binding upon each Secured Creditor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Creditor and its respective successors, participants and assigns.  No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.

(b)Each Secured Creditor reserves the right to grant participations in, or otherwise sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of, or any interest in, their respective Obligations; provided that no Secured Creditor shall be obligated to give any notices to or otherwise in any manner deal directly with any participant in the Obligations and no participant shall be entitled to any rights or benefits under this Agreement, except through the Secured Creditor with which it is a participant.

(c)In connection with any participation or other transfer or assignment, a Secured Creditor (i) may, subject to its respective Obligation Documents, disclose to such assignee, participant or other transferee or assignee all documents and information which such Secured Creditor now or hereafter may have relating to any Obligor or the Collateral and (ii) shall disclose to such participant or other transferee or assignee the existence and terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.7Amendments.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Person from the terms hereof, shall in any event be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Term Loan Agent and Revolving Agent.  In no event shall the consent of any Obligor be required in connection with any amendment or other modification of this Agreement, unless such amendment or modification (i) adds or increases any obligation of an Obligor (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any amendments to the definition of “Revolving Credit Priority Collateral” or “Term Loan Priority Collateral” that would increase the amount of any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Credit Obligations required under the Revolving Credit Documents or Term Loan Obligations under the Term Loan Documents, as applicable), (ii) amends or modifies Section 4.1 or the definition of “Revolving Credit Refinancing Conditions”, (iii) amends or modifies the first sentence of Section 4.2 or the definition of “Term Loan Refinancing Conditions” (it being understood, however, that the limitations set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not limit the rights of the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent to agree to any amendments or modifications of such provisions that are effective solely as between themselves so long as in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such amendments or modifications do not apply to any future Revolving Agent or Term Loan Agent that, in connection with a Refinancing in full of the Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as applicable, executes an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder or otherwise executes an intercreditor agreement in each case, in accordance with the provisions of clause (iv) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Refinancing Conditions” or clause (v) of the definition of “Term Loan Refinancing Conditions”) or (iv) amends or modifies Section 8.20 of this Agreement.

8.8No Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

8.9Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

8.11Headings.  The section headings contained in this Agreement are and shall be without meaning or content whatsoever and are not part of this Agreement.

8.12Credit Analysis.  The Secured Creditors shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Obligors and all other all endorsers, obligors and/or guarantors of the Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations.  No Secured Creditor shall have any duty to advise any other Secured Creditor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such other circumstances.  No Secured Creditor assumes any liability to any other Secured Creditor or to any other Person with respect to:  (i) the financial or other condition of Obligors under any instruments of guarantee with respect to the

43

Obligations, (ii) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of the Obligations, any Collateral therefor or any guarantee or security which may have been granted in connection with any of the Obligations or (iii) any Obligor’s title or right to transfer any Collateral or security.

8.14Conflicts.  Subject to Section 8.7, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Obligation Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

8.15Specific Performance.  Each of the Term Loan Agent and the Revolving Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement and, on behalf of itself and the respective other Secured Creditors, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the respective Secured Creditors.

8.16Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Secured Creditors.  None of the Obligors or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder (except to the extent set forth in Section 8.7), and none of the Obligors may rely on the terms hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Obligors under the Obligations Documents.

8.17Lien Priority Provisions; Subrogation.  This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereunder shall inure solely to the benefit of the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving Agent and the Revolving Creditors and their respective successors and permitted assigns and no other Person (including the Obligors or any trustee, receiver, debtor in possession or bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy or like proceeding) shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.  Each Junior Secured Creditor hereby agrees that until the Term Loan Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor is the Revolving Agent, or the Revolving Credit Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor is the Term Loan Agent, it will not assert any rights of subrogation it or they may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligation of any Obligor to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their respective terms.

8.18Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Obligation Documents embody the entire agreement of the Obligors, the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan Creditors, the Revolving Agent and the Revolving Creditors with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any draft agreements, negotiations and/or discussions involving any Obligor and any of the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan Creditors, the Revolving Agent and the Revolving Creditors relating to the subject matter hereof.

44

(a)the Term Loan Agent hereby expressly agrees and acknowledges (i) that the Revolving Agent’s provision of the Reports to the Term Loan Agent does not constitute an agreement by the Revolving Agent that the Term Loan Agent is entitled to rely upon the Reports, (ii) that the Revolving Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and (iii) that the Revolving Agent shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(b)the Term Loan Agent hereby expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Revolving Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding any of the Obligors and that the Revolving Agent will rely significantly upon the Obligors’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Obligors’ personnel;

(d)without modifying any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, the Term Loan Agent hereby agrees: (i) to hold the Revolving Agent harmless from any action the Term Loan Agent may take or conclusion the Term Loan Agent may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any extension of credit that the Term Loan Agent has made or may make to any of the Obligors; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Revolving Agent harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney costs) incurred by the Revolving Agent as the result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report from the Term Loan Agent; and

(e)the Obligors shall be express third party beneficiaries of the Revolving Agent’s agreement to provide the Reports to the Term Loan Agent pursuant to (and subject to the limitations set forth in) this Section 8.20.

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

GUARANTY

GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of July 9, 2012, by each of the Persons listed on Schedule I hereto and those additional Persons that hereafter become parties hereto by executing the Form of Joinder attached hereto as Annex 1 (each such Person, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, jointly and severally, the “Guarantors”) in favor of (a) CC HOLDINGS AGENCY CORP., a Delaware corporation, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent” and together with the Administrative Agent, collectively, the “Agents”), for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties (as defined in the Loan Agreement referred to below) and (b) the other Credit Parties.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among (i) Coldwater Creek U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), as agent for the Borrowers from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Borrower” and, collectively with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto, (iii) the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, (iv) the Lenders from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make the Loan on the Closing Date to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Loan Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the credit facility provided for in the Loan Agreement and from the making of the Loan on the Closing Date by the Lenders.

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Lenders to make the Loan on the Closing Date is conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of this Guaranty.  As consideration therefor, and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loan on the Closing Date, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Guaranty.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Guaranty.  Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance by each of the Loan Parties of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including all such Guaranteed Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of the Debtor Relief Laws.  Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed 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 this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.  If any or all of the Obligations becomes due

1

and payable, each of the Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, together with any and all expenses that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including the enforcement of any collateral for such Obligations or any collateral for the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty).  If claim is ever made upon any Agent or any other Credit Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Obligations and any Agent or any other Credit Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Borrower or any Guarantor), then and in each such event, each of the Guarantors agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Loan Party, and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

SECTION 2.Guaranteed Obligations Not Affected.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of protest for nonpayment and all other notices of any kind.  The liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by any other Guarantor or by any other Person.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by or impaired by (a) the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty, or of any other Loan Document or any other agreement, with respect to any Loan Party or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, (d) the lack of legal existence of any Loan Party or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law by or against any Loan Party, (e) any direction as to application of payment by any Loan Party or by any other Person, (f) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such other guaranty or undertaking, (g) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Loan Party, (h) any invalidity, irregularity, avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor or (i) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit party on account of the Obligations which the Administrative Agent or such other Credit Party repays to any Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (or any settlement or compromise

2

of any claim made in such a proceeding relating to such payment), and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

SECTION 3.Security.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent and each of the other Credit Parties may (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine, and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, Borrowers, other Loan Parties or other obligors, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 4.Guaranty of Payment.  Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to any of the Collateral or other security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any other Credit Party in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or to any other Guarantor of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Any payment required to be made by any Guarantor hereunder may be required by any Agent or any other Credit Party on any number of occasions and shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the other Credit Parties, in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement.  The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or any other Loan party or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or Loan Party or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor or Loan Party or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions.  Each of the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.  Any payment by any Loan Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Loan Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the Guarantors.

SECTION 5.Indemnification.

(a)Without limiting or duplicating any of their indemnification obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each of the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Credit Party, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Guarantor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) the execution or delivery of this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or

3

thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof) and their Related Parties only, the administration of this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Guarantor, or any of the Guarantors’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted directly and actually from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantors 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 Guaranty, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (a) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)The agreements in this Section 5 shall survive the resignation of any Agent and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 6.No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted)), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan

4

Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 7.Defenses of Loan Parties Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Agents and the other Credit 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 Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of each such Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  Pursuant to, and to the extent permitted by, applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election and waives any benefit of and right to participate in any such foreclosure action, even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not assert any claim in competition with any Agent or any other Credit Party in respect of any payment made hereunder in connection with any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws.

SECTION 8.Agreement to Pay; Subordination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Agents or any other Credit Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agents or such other Credit Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to any Agent or any other Credit Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations.  In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may make payments to any Guarantor on account of any such indebtedness.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, none of the Guarantors will demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness until all of the

5

Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 9.Limitation on Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any action or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor involving any state corporate law, the Debtor Relief Laws or any other state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party, any Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 10.Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agents or the other Credit Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.  The Guarantors have reviewed and approved copies of the Loan Documents and are fully informed of the remedies the Collateral Agent may pursue, with or without notice to the Guarantors.

SECTION 11.Termination.  This Guaranty (a) shall terminate when all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and (b) shall continue to be effective or be immediately and automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party or any Guarantor in connection with Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise.

SECTION 12.Costs of Enforcement.  Without limiting or duplicating any of their obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to pay on demand all Credit Party Expenses in connection with (i) the administration, negotiation, documentation or amendment of this Guaranty, and (ii) any Agent’s or any other Credit Party’s efforts to collect and/or to enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and/or to enforce any of the rights, remedies, or powers of any Agent or any other Credit Party against or in respect of any Guarantor (whether or not suit is instituted by or against any Agent or any other Credit Party).

SECTION 13.Binding Effect; Assignments.  Whenever in this Guaranty any party hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party,

6

and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Guarantors and its respective successors and assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the other Credit Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be absolutely void ab initio), except as expressly permitted by this Guaranty or the Loan Agreement.  This Guaranty shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 14.Waivers; Amendment.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Agents hereunder and under applicable Law (herein, the “Agents’ Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Agents in exercising or enforcing any of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Agents of any Event of Default or default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Agents’ Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Agents and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Agents of any of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Agents’ Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Agents may determine. The Agents’ Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Guarantor 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 to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Agent and the Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 15.Copies and Facsimiles.  This instrument and all documents which have been or may be hereinafter furnished by any Guarantor to any of the Agents may be reproduced by such Agent by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process.

7

Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business). Any facsimile or other electronic method of transmission which bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise so admissible in evidence as if the original of such facsimile or such other electronic method of transmission had been delivered to the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was received.

SECTION 16.Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 17.Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Loan Agreement, provided that communications and notices to the Guarantors may be delivered to the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Guarantors.

SECTION 18.Survival of Agreement; Severability.

(a)Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Agent or any other Credit Party to (i) proceed against any other Loan Party or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any

11

security held from any other Loan Party or any other Person, or (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person, or any collateral, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in any Credit Party’s power whatsoever.  Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guarantor or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Loan Party or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment.  The Agents may, at their election or at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Agents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or may exercise any other right or remedy any Agent or any other Credit Party may have against any Loan Party or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b)Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Estate located in California, Idaho or any other “one-action” rule jurisdiction, Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Estate by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Loan Party.  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each of the Guarantors hereby waives until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash:

(i)all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to the Guarantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii)all rights and defenses that the Guarantors may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Estate located in California, Idaho or any other “one-action” rule jurisdiction, meaning, among other things, that:  (A) the Agents and the other Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and (B) if any Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties, forecloses on any Real Estate collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Guarantor, (1) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantors even if, by foreclosing on the Real Estate collateral, the Agents or the other Credit Parties have destroyed or impaired any right the Guarantors may have to collect from any other Loan Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantors may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Estate (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the

12

California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 6-101, 6-108, 45-1503, 45-1505(4) or 45-1512 of the Idaho Code or any similar Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

(iii)all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agents and the other Credit Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Loan Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

(c)Each of the Guarantors represents, warrants, and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions.

received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to receive the dividends or other cash distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2 above.

6.4           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at 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 shall deem

10

appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) 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 Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged 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.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any 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 of such sale.

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged 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 the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged 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 Secured Obligations paid in full.

11

7.6           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 upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged 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.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8

Application of Proceeds of Sale

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or

12

sale of the Pledged Collateral, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Loan Agreement.

The Collateral 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 or other disposition of the Pledged 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 or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of 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.

SECTION 9

Further Assurances

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

13

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Loan Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

14

SECTION 13

Miscellaneous

13.1         This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.2         Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

13.3         All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Loan Agreement.

13.4         All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured 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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan 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 the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or any other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

13.5         All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 11  hereof.

13.6         Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants,

15

promises and agreements by or on behalf of Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by Pledgor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.7(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 to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor 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 a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the

16

remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the

17

Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the ABL Agent is in possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such ABL Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the ABL Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral is by, the ABL Agent.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among (i) Pledgor (in such capacity, the “Lead Borrower”), as agent for the Borrowers from time to time party thereto (collectively, with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto, (iii) the Guarantors from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), (iv) the Lenders from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and (v) CC Holdings, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Loan Agreement;

2.1           all shares of capital stock, limited liability company membership interests, limited partnership interests, general partnership interests, other partnership interests and other Equity Interests owned by the Pledgor, including in each entity designated as an “Issuer” on Schedule I hereto (each such entity, an “Issuer”), and any shares of capital stock, limited liability company membership interests, limited partnership interests, general partnership interests, other partnership interests or other Equity Interests obtained in the future by the Pledgor, and the stock certificates or other security certificates (as defined in the UCC) representing all such shares, membership interests or other Equity Interests (the “Pledged Securities”); provided that, the Pledged Securities shall not include and the Pledgor shall not be required to pledge (a) any Voting Equity Interest or group of Equity Interests issued by any CFC representing more than 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding “stock entitled to vote” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations sections 1.956-2(c)(2), solely to the extent that pledging or hypothecating more than 65% of the total outstanding Voting Equity Interests of such CFC would result in adverse tax consequences to the Grantors or the costs to the Grantors of providing such pledge are unreasonably excessive in relation to the benefits to the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties of the security afforded thereby and (b) any Equity Interest issued by a Subsidiary of a CFC;

2.2           all other Investment Property that may be delivered to, and held by, the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the terms hereof;

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, shall have the right (in its reasonable discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Pledgor.

SECTION 6

Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc.

6.1           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the Pledged Securities or any part thereof to the extent, and only to the extent, that such rights are exercised for any purpose consistent with, and not otherwise in violation of, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law; provided, however, that the Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Credit

8

Parties under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law or the ability of the Credit Parties to exercise the same.

6.2           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral (provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Pledgor shall cause all such cash dividends or other cash distributions to be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such cash dividends or other cash distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.  All noncash dividends, and all dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than dividends and distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock, membership interests or other Equity Interests of the Issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such Issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by the Pledgor, to the extent required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall not be commingled by the Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions. All dividends or other cash distributions received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to receive the dividends or other cash distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2 above.

9

6.4           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at 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 shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) 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 Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all

10

requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged 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.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any 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 of such sale.

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged 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 the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged 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 Secured Obligations paid in full.

7.6           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 upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged 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.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other

11

things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8

Application of Proceeds of Sale

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Pledged Collateral, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Loan Agreement.

The Collateral 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 or other disposition of the Pledged 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 or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of

12

the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 9

Further Assurances

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Loan Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any

13

Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

13.6         Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by Pledgor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default

15

under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.7(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 to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor 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 a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

16

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the ABL Agent is in possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such ABL Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the ABL Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral is by, the ABL Agent.

6.2           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral (provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Pledgor shall cause all such cash dividends or other cash distributions to be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such cash dividends or other cash distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.  All noncash dividends, and all dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than dividends and distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock, membership interests or other Equity Interests of the Issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such Issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by the Pledgor, to the extent required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall not be commingled by the Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions. All dividends or other cash distributions

9

received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to receive the dividends or other cash distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2 above.

6.4           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at 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 shall deem

10

appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) 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 Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged 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.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any 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 of such sale.

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged 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 the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged 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 Secured Obligations paid in full.

11

7.6           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 upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged 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.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8

Application of Proceeds of Sale

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or

12

sale of the Pledged Collateral, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Loan Agreement.

The Collateral 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 or other disposition of the Pledged 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 or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of 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.

SECTION 9

Further Assurances

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

13

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Loan Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

SECTION 13

Miscellaneous

13.1         This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.2         Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

13.3         All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Loan Agreement.

13.4         All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured 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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan 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 the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or any other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

13.5         All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 11  hereof.

13.6         Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants,

15

promises and agreements by or on behalf of Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by Pledgor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.7(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 to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor 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 a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement.

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the

16

remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the

17

Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the ABL Agent is in possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such ABL Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the ABL Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any ABL Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral is by, the ABL Agent.

This letter agreement (this “Monitoring Agreement Letter”) is the Monitoring Agreement Letter referred to in the Term Loan Agreement of even date herewith (together with all exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) by and among Coldwater Creek U.S., Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), Coldwater Creek The Spa Inc., an Idaho corporation (“Coldwater Spa”), Coldwater Creek Merchandising & Logistics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Coldwater Merchandising”, together with the Lead Borrower and Coldwater Spa, collectively, “you” or the “Borrowers”), the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and CC Holdings Agency Corp., a Delaware corporation, as administrative agent for itself and the Lenders and as collateral agent for itself and the Lenders.  Capitalized terms used in the text of this Monitoring Agreement Letter without definition have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

An annual monitoring fee of $250,000, which fee shall be earned by GGC Administration, L.L.C. (the “GGC Administration”) on the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof and shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to GGC Administration, in advance, on the Closing Date and on each anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the date on which all of the Obligations are paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Commitments and all other commitments to extend credit are terminated.

The Administrative Agent’s books and records concerning the Loans, the accrual of interest thereon, and the repayment of such Loans, shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the indebtedness to the Lender hereunder.

No delay or omission by any Agent, the Lender or any other Credit Party in exercising or enforcing any of such Agent’s, the Lender’s or any other Credit Party’s powers, rights, privileges, remedies, or discretions hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof on that occasion nor on any other occasion.  No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default, nor as a continuing waiver of any such Default or Event of Default.  This Note is a Loan Document.
