(o) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section II and elsewhere to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any Excluded Property; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Finance Documents, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any Bond Additional Excluded Property to secure any Bond Obligations.

SECTION III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants that:

3.1. Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by all applicable Finance Documents, such Grantor owns or has a license or other right to use, each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens. No financing statement or

other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except (i) such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) as are permitted by all applicable Finance Documents or (iii) such as were filed with respect to Liens that shall have been eliminated after giving effect to the Reorganization Plan and the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property, provided that such licensing activity is not intended to create a security interest of any kind or nature whatsoever. Each of the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Collateral Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

3.2. Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent (or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent have been made for such delivery) in completed and, where required, duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) (if and to the extent perfection may be achieved by such filings and actions and provided that additional filings may be necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Intellectual Property acquired after the date hereof), as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing) and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Equity, Liens permitted by all applicable Finance Documents, to have priority over the Liens on the Collateral.

3.3. Jurisdiction of Organization. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and, if such Grantor is not a registered organization, the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule 4. Such Grantor has furnished to the Collateral Agent a certified charter, certificate of incorporation or other organization document, as applicable, and long-form good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof.

3.4. Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and the Equipment of each Grantor are kept at the locations listed on Schedule 5. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not apply to Equipment or Inventory in transit, that has been sold (including sales on consignment or approval in the ordinary course of business), that is out for repair, that is at other locations for purposes of onsite maintenance or repair or at locations where Equipment and Inventory with less than $2,500,000 in aggregate value is located.

3.5. Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the Proceeds of, Farm Products.

3.6. Investment Property. (a) On the date hereof, the shares of Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the

Equity Interests of each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less, 65% of the outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.

(b) All the shares of the Pledged Equity have been duly and validly issued and, if applicable, are fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) To the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, each of the Pledged Debt constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement or the other Finance Documents or nonconsensual Liens permitted pursuant to the terms under all applicable Finance Documents.

3.7. Receivables No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper in excess, individually or in the aggregate, of $1,000,000 which has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

3.8. Intellectual Property. (a) Schedule 6 lists all Intellectual Property (other than domain names) that is registered in the United States or for which application for registration in the United States has been filed owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof.

(b) On the date hereof, all material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, has not been abandoned and neither the conduct of each Grantor’s business nor the use of their Intellectual Property infringes on the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person, except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the value of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor.

(c) On the date hereof, 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 owned by such Grantor in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor.

(d) On the date hereof, no action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on the date hereof (i) seeking to cancel or contesting the validity of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor (other than routine office actions issued in the ordinary course of prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark Office), or (ii) which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the value of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor.

3.9. Commercial Tort Claims. On the date hereof, no Grantor has knowledge of rights in any Commercial Tort Claim as to which it reasonably expects to recover more than $2,500,000.

SECTION IV COVENANTS

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations and Secured Obligations in respect of Hedge Obligations and Cash Management Obligations that are not due and payable) shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated:

4.1. Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper.

4.2. Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Such Grantor will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (provided, that if any such insurance company shall at any time cease to be financially sound and reputable, there shall be no breach of this provision in the event that such Grantor promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) days of such date) obtains insurance from an alternative insurance carrier that is financially sound and reputable), 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, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) and with deductible levels as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and ensure that the Collateral Agent is an additional insured and/or loss payee under such liability and property insurance as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(b) (i) Such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such insurance to provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice thereof and (ii) such Grantor shall cause all such insurance to name the Collateral Agent as additional insured or loss payee.

4.3. [Reserved].

4.4. Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. (a) Such Grantor shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having the priority described in Section 3.2 and shall take all commercially reasonable actions to defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, subject in each case, (i) in the case of Collateral consisting of Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt, nonconsensual Liens permitted by all applicable Finance Documents and (ii) in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt, Liens permitted by all applicable Finance Documents and to the rights of such Grantor under the Finance Documents to dispose of the Collateral.

(b) Such Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby, (ii) in the case of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights and any other relevant Collateral, taking any additional actions necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect thereto, and (iii) in the case of registered and applied for Intellectual Property, filing an Intellectual Property Short Form Security Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 1 hereto with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

Such Grantor will not effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein have been filed prior to or substantially simultaneously with the effectiveness of such change.

4.6. Notices. (a) Such Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in reasonable detail:

(i) of any Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under all applicable Finance Documents) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and

(ii) the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.

4.7. Investment Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Equity Interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Equity, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and deliver the same promptly to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations. If an Event of Default under any Finance Document shall have occurred and be continuing, any sums paid upon or in respect of the pledged Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the pledged Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the pledged Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof,

the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the pledged Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under any Finance Document, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) except as permitted by all applicable Finance Documents, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by all applicable Finance Documents or the Reorganization Plan (where applicable)), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or permitted under all applicable Finance Documents or (iv) except as permitted by all applicable Finance Documents, enter, subsequent to the date upon which such Investment Property becomes Collateral hereunder, into any agreement (other than any Finance Documents or the Reorganization Plan (where applicable)) or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property required to be included in Collateral or Proceeds thereof.

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property constituting Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.7(a) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 5.3(c) and 5.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 5.3(c) or 5.7 with respect to the Investment Property issued by it.

(b) If such Grantor shall enter into any contract or other transaction with an Applicable Governmental Authority (as defined below) which will result in an Applicable Governmental Authority becoming an obligor on any Receivable required to be included in Collateral of an amount greater than $500,000, such Grantor shall (i) promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent thereof, (ii) provide to the Collateral Agent all such documents and instruments, and take all such actions, as reasonably required by the Collateral Agent, to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with the requirements of the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any other applicable Law to perfect its security interest in such Receivables and (iii) otherwise comply with its obligations under Section 4.4(c) with

respect thereto. As used in this paragraph, the term “Applicable Governmental Authority” shall mean any Governmental Authority the Law applicable to which provides that, for a creditor of a Person to which such Governmental Authority has an obligation to pay money, whether pursuant to a Receivable, a General Intangible or otherwise, to perfect such creditor’s Lien on such obligation and/or to obtain the full benefits of such Lien and such Law, certain notice, filing, recording or other similar actions other than the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code must be given, executed, filed, recorded, delivered or completed, including, without limitation, any federal Governmental Authority to which the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 is applicable.

(b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent owned or exclusively licensed by such Grantor may become prematurely invalidated, forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, in each case of the foregoing, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the aggregate value of the Intellectual Property in the Collateral.

(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) (i) will use copyright notices in connection with each Copyright owned or exclusively licensed by such Grantor as required by applicable Requirements of Law, (ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights owned by such Grantor may become invalidated or otherwise impaired, in each case of the foregoing, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the aggregate value of the Intellectual Property in the Collateral. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights owned or exclusively licensed by such Grantor may fall into the public domain, in each case of the foregoing, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect to the aggregate value of the Intellectual Property in the Collateral.

(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not knowingly do any act that uses any material Intellectual Property to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

(e) Such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, that any material Intellectual Property owned or exclusively licensed by such Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or material adverse development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country, but excluding routine office actions or similar determinations in the ordinary course of prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark

Office or any foreign counterpart) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property owned or exclusively licensed by such Grantor or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(f) In the event such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Collateral Agent and the Agents within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (or such later date as consented to by the Collateral Agent). Upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence and perfect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in any Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, in each case, to the extent that such shall constitute part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g) Such Grantor will, subject to and in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, take all reasonable and necessary steps including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application for registration of any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor and any material Intellectual Property License where such Grantor is an exclusive licensee (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor and of any material Intellectual Property License where such Grantor is an exclusive licensee, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, payment of maintenance fees and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not be required to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to licensed Intellectual Property to the extent such action would not be permitted by the terms of the applicable license.

SECTION V REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

5.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right annually (or, if an Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, at any time) to make test verifications of the Receivables required to be included in the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. Annually (or if an Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, at any time), upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable written request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Agents reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, such Receivables.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority upon written notice at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Finance Document. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Finance Document, any payments of Receivables that constitute Collateral, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) If an Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable written request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, to the extent available, all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables that constitute Collateral, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

5.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Finance Document, communicate with obligors under the

Receivables that constitute Collateral to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any such Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Finance Document, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that constitute Collateral that such Receivables have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3. Pledged Equity. (a) Unless an Event of Default under any Finance Document shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to 5.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Debt, in each case to the extent otherwise permitted in all applicable Finance Documents, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that such Grantor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties under any Finance Document or the ability of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(b) If an Event of Default under any Finance Document shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has given written notice of its intent to exercise the following rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors: (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments (including sums paid upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer or in connection with any distribution of capital) or other Proceeds paid in respect of the pledged Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5, and (ii) any or all of the pledged Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the pledged Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the pledged Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for

property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. If any sums of money paid or distributed in respect of any pledged Investment Property, which the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be received by a Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money is paid to the Collateral Agent, hold such money in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties as additional collateral for the Secured Obligations.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the pledged Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

5.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default under any Finance Document shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requests, all Proceeds of the Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All such Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

5.5. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale, disposition or other realization of Collateral upon the enforcement of the security for the Secured Obligations (including for these purposes distributions of cash, securities or other property on account of the value of the Collateral in a bankruptcy case of any Grantor), including any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied as follows (or as this Section 5.5 may be amended from time to time with the consent of the First Priority Representative, the Trustee and the Additional Agent, if any, to the extent necessary to permit additional junior debt):

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Finance Document, including all and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket court costs fees and documented expenses of its agents and one lead legal counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Finance Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Finance Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of all Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) owed to the Agents in their capacities as such;

THIRD, to the payment in full of all of the remaining Bank Priority Obligations (other than the amounts referred to in the immediately following paragraph), the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Bank Secured Parties in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement;

FOURTH, to the payment in full of all interest or entitlement to fees or expenses or other charges that accrue on the Bank Priority Obligations after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not allowed or allowable in any such proceeding (it being understood that if it is held that the Bank Priority Obligations and the Bond Obligations constitute only one secured class (rather than separate classes for the Bank Priority Obligations and the Bond Obligations), all distributions pursuant to this provision FOURTH shall be made as if there were separate classes of claims);

FIFTH, to the payment in full of all of the Pari Passu Obligations, the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Bond Secured Parties in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture and among the Additional Secured Parties in accordance with any comparable provision in the Additional Loan Documents, as applicable;

SIXTH, to the payment in full of all interest or entitlement to fees or expenses or other charges that accrue on the Pari Passu Obligations after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not allowed or allowable in any such proceeding;

SEVENTH, to the payment in full of all of the Bank Additional Obligations, the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Bank Secured Parties in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement;

EIGHTH, to the payment in full of all interest or entitlement to fees or expenses or other charges that accrue on the Bank Additional Obligations after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not allowed or allowable in any such proceeding; and

NINTH, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

5.6. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default under any Finance Document occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the Finance Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default under any Finance Document occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, license, sublicense, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall

have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request following and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Finance Document, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the order provided in Section 5.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.7. Registration Rights. (a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Pledged Equity pursuant to Section 5.6, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act or other applicable laws (together with the Securities Act, the “Securities Laws”), the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the relevant Securities Laws, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the relevant Securities Laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC or any other United States securities regulator applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing and a defense in respect of payment in full.

5.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION VI THE AGENTS

6.1. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any such Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any pledged Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence and perfect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale or license provided for in Section 5.6 or 5.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) subject to any licenses (and the rights granted therein) existing at the time of such assignment, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), owned by such Grantor, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1(a) or in any other Finance Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) (other than pursuant to clause (ii) thereof) unless an Event of Default under any Finance Document shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1 shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released in accordance with Section 8.14.

6.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any

Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to Section 9-509 of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices in any jurisdiction as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall, if and to the extent effective under applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction, be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any such jurisdiction. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property”, “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”, “all assets” or words of similar meaning in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to prepare or file any financing or confirmation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

6.4. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.5. Enforcement by the Collateral Agent. (a) If any Event of Default under any Finance Document shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall act in relation to the Collateral in accordance with the instructions of (i) on or prior to the Bank Priority Obligations Discharge Date, the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative and (ii) after the Bank Priority Obligations Discharge Date, the Applicable Authorized Representative.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall disregard any instructions from any other Person to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Collateral if those instructions are inconsistent with this Agreement.

(c) Any Person entitled to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Collateral may give or refrain from giving instructions to the Collateral Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising the Collateral as it sees fit in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement; provided that the consent of the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if such instruction is delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the occurrence of the Bank Priority Obligations Discharge Date, the First Priority Representative, shall be required before the Collateral Agent is entitled to rely on or follow such instruction.

(d) Subject to paragraph (e) below, before giving any instructions to the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Collateral, the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative shall consult with one another and with the Collateral Agent in good faith, with a view to coordinating those instructions, for a period of up to 45 days or such shorter period as the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative may agree.

(e) The First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative shall not be obliged to consult in accordance with paragraph (d) above if the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative determine in good faith (and give the Collateral Agent prior notice in writing) that to enter into such consultations and thereby delay the commencement of enforcement of the Collateral could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on their ability to enforce any of the Collateral or the realization of any proceeds of any enforcement of the Collateral.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall inform each other Agent on receiving any instructions under this Section 6.5 to enforce the Collateral.

6.6. Competing Instructions to the Collateral Agent

(a) If the instructions given to the Collateral Agent by the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative conflict with the instructions given to the Collateral Agent by the other such party: (i) the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative; and (ii) following such notification, the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative shall consult with one another in good faith for at least 15 days (the “Consultation Period”) with a view to resolving the conflict in such instructions, provided that the Consultation Period shall end immediately if the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative determine in good faith (and give the Collateral Agent prior notice in writing) that such consultation and thereby the delay in the enforcement of the Collateral could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (A) their ability to enforce any of the Collateral or (B) the realization of any proceeds of any enforcement of the Collateral.

(b) If, following the end of the Consultation Period, the Collateral Agent has not received consistent instructions from the First Priority Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent shall enforce the Collateral in accordance with the instructions of the First Priority Representative as evidenced in a written certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent.

6.7. Exemption.

(a) No Agent or Secured Party shall be responsible to any other Agent or Secured Party with respect to any instructions given or not given to the Collateral Agent in relation or in connection with any of the Security Documents, provided in each case they act in good faith and in all material respects in accordance with their obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Finance Documents.

(b) None of the Agents or Secured Parties shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by any Grantor as a result of any instructions given or not given by such Agent or such Secured Party in relation or in connection with any of the Security Documents.

6.8. Termination and Resignation of Collateral Agent.

(a) Subject to clause (f) below, the Collateral Agent may resign its appointment under this Agreement at any time by giving notice to the First Priority Representative, the Trustee, the Additional Agent (if any) and the Borrower.

(b) A successor Collateral Agent shall be selected (i) by the retiring Collateral Agent nominating one of its Affiliates, following consultation with the First Priority Representative, the Trustee, the Additional Agent (if any) and, so long as no Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, as successor Collateral Agent in its notice of resignation, (ii) if the retiring Collateral Agent makes no such nomination, by the First Priority Representative, the Trustee, the Additional Agent (if any) and, so long as no Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower or (iii) if a Collateral Agent is not appointed pursuant to sub clause (i) or (ii) above, the Collateral Agent may (at the expense of the Grantors), at its option, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, which must be a bank or trust company that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and maintains an office in New York, New York.

(c) The appointment of the Collateral Agent may be terminated and a successor Collateral Agent appointed at any time with the consent of the First Priority Representative, the Trustee, the Additional Agent (if any) and, so long as no Event of Default under any Finance Document has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower on at least 30 days prior written notice being given to the Collateral Agent.

(d) The resignation of the retiring Collateral Agent and the appointment of the successor Collateral Agent will become effective only upon the successor Collateral Agent accepting its appointment as Collateral Agent, and upon the execution of all documents necessary to substitute the successor as holder of the security comprised in the Security Documents and the relevant Additional Loan Documents, if any, at which time, (i) the successor Collateral Agent will become bound by all the obligations of the Collateral Agent and become entitled to all the rights, privileges, powers, authorities and discretions of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, (ii) the agency of the retiring Collateral Agent will terminate (but without prejudice to any liabilities which the retiring Collateral Agent may have incurred prior to the termination of its agency) and (iii) the retiring Collateral Agent will be discharged from any further liability or obligation under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Security Documents.

(e) The retiring Collateral Agent will cooperate with the successor Collateral Agent in order to ensure that its functions are transferred to the successor Collateral Agent without disruption to the service provided to the Agents, the Secured Parties and the Borrower and will promptly make available to the successor Collateral Agent the documents and records which have been maintained in connection with this Agreement and the other Security Documents in order that the successor Collateral Agent is able to discharge its functions.

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign its appointment upon appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and such successor Collateral Agent having accepted the role of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Any such new appointment and all powers to be granted to the Collateral Agent will be granted pursuant to an accession agreement satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and the Additional Agent (if any).

(g) The provisions of this Agreement will continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Collateral Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it or any event occurring before the termination of its agency.

6.9. Agents’ and Collateral Agent’s Duties; Reliance. (a) The powers conferred on the Agents and the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of them to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agents and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Each of the Agents and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by it in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder the Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to any Grantor or any other Person in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of any action hereunder by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon such matter that is proved or established by a certificate executed by an officer of such Person which is believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or a written opinion from legal counsel acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to any action taken, not taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon.

(c) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and shall be entitled to take or not to take any action hereunder in good faith in relying upon any advice of such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall have the right but not the obligation at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement, the duties created hereunder or the Collateral from the Collateral Agent or any Representative or any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in relying upon any resolution, statement, certificate (including any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.6(b)), instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order or other paper or document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party. The Collateral Agent may rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificate (including any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.6(b)) or opinions that are believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and signed or furnished by the proper Person furnished to the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice thereof from any Grantor, Agent or any Secured Party. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such a notice which is believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice so furnished to it.

(f) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantors shall remain liable under each of the agreements to which they are a party to perform all of their duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and the Collateral

Agent shall have no obligation or liability under any such agreements to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantors thereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Collateral Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated herein (including the right to consent to or approve of any action or document) shall not be construed as giving rise to any expressed or implied duty. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral, for the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(g) Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on either of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on either of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Grantor contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other documents, or under or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral hereunder.

SECTION VII PARI PASSU OBLIGATIONS

7.1. Actions with Respect to Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to the Collateral from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Pari Passu Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (ii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Pari Passu Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Collateral, whether under any Pari Passu Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if prior to the Bank Priority Obligations

Discharge Date, the First Priority Representative) and in accordance with the applicable Pari Passu Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to the Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing the Pari Passu Obligations and subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, with respect to the Pari Passu Obligations the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may deal with the Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on the Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral, or to cause the Collateral Agent to do so.

(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of any Series of Pari Passu Obligations (other than funds deposited for the redemption, discharge or defeasance of the Bond Secured Obligations or any Additional Secured Obligations) other than pursuant to the Pari Passu Security Documents, and by executing this Agreement (or a Secured Party Security Agreement Supplement), each Authorized Representative and the Series of Pari Passu Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Pari Passu Security Documents applicable to it.

(c) Each of the Pari Passu Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or any of the provisions of the Secured Party Security Agreement Supplement or this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement.

(d) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Collateral as provided herein without regard to any rights to which the holders of the Non-Controlling Secured Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Non-Controlling Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari Passu Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Collateral, or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Pari Passu Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Pari Passu Obligations or any other Pari Passu Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any Pari Passu Secured Party 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 Pari Passu Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Pari Passu Security Documents or any other agreement or document related thereto or to the collection of the Pari Passu Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Pari Passu Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Pari Passu Obligations, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, of the application of

Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not accept any Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Pari Passu Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative.

(e) None of the Pari Passu Secured Parties may institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Collateral. In addition, none of the Pari Passu Secured Parties may seek to have any Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral. If any Pari Passu Secured Party obtains possession of any Collateral or realizes any proceeds or payment in respect thereof, in each case, as a result of the enforcement of remedies, at any time prior to the discharge of each of the relevant Pari Passu Obligations Obligations, then it must hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment to the Collateral Agent to be distributed in accordance with the applicable Security Documents.
