ARTICLE III

COLLATERAL

SECTION 3.1 Security Interest. As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Notes Obligations (including, in any event, the Notes Obligations in respect of the New Notes (the “New Notes Obligations”)), (i) each Grantor hereby pledges and grants to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties (including, in any event, the Holders of the New Notes (the “New Secured Parties”)), a lien on and a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), in each case, now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and (ii) the Specified Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties (including, in any event, the New Secured Parties) a lien on and a security interest in the Specified Pledgor’s right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in Pledge Agreement) now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by the Specified Pledgor or in which the Specified Pledgor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the previous sentence, the security interests created by this Supplemental Indenture shall not extend to, and the term “Pledged Collateral” shall not include, (A) for purposes of clause (i) above, any Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) or (B) for purposes of clause (ii) above, Excluded Equity (as defined in the Pledge Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the security interest granted herein is duplicative of the security interest granted in the Security Documents, does not affect the validity, scope or existence of the security interest created pursuant to the Security Documents and shall not be junior to the liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, and the New Notes Obligations shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the other Notes Obligations. The security interests granted pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be governed by the same terms, covenants and conditions governing the security interests granted pursuant to the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as applicable.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Article III or anything else contained in this Supplemental Indenture or any other Notes Document, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the aggregate amount of all Notes Obligations secured under the Security Documents by Restricted Property (as defined in the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement) shall not, at any time, exceed the Indenture Threshold Amount (as defined in the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement) of indebtedness (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) that may be secured by Restricted Property under each Existing Senior Notes Indenture, determined in accordance with the terms of each Existing Senior Notes Indenture, without requiring holders of the Securities or Notes (as defined in and issued under each applicable Existing Senior Notes Indenture) to be equally and ratably secured in accordance with the terms of such Existing Senior Notes Indenture. It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto (including, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Supplemental Indenture, each Notes Secured Party) that (v) as of the date hereof, the total amount of Notes Obligations is in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount as of the date hereof, (w) from time to time after the date hereof, the total amount of the Notes Obligations may be in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount then in effect, (x) as of the date hereof, the Notes Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount are not secured by any Restricted Property hereunder or under any other Security Document, (y) at any time after the date hereof, any Notes Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount in effect at such time shall not be secured by any Restricted Property hereunder or under any other Security Document and (z) in no event shall any mortgage on any Restricted Property in favor of any Notes Secured Party created hereunder or under any other Security Document at any time secure any Notes Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Indenture Threshold Amount at any date of determination shall take into account all outstanding Attributable Debt (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) of all Sale and Lease-Back

Transactions (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) permitted pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 407 or 1007 of each Existing Senior Notes Indenture, as applicable, as of such date and all indebtedness (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) secured by mortgages (as defined in each Existing Senior Notes Indenture) permitted pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 406 or 1006 of each Existing Senior Notes Indenture as of such date.

SECTION 3.2 Filings. Each of the Grantors and the Specified Pledgor hereby agrees to, and hereby irrevocably authorizes (without obligating) the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) in the case of the Grantors, indicate the Collateral as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property” of such Grantor or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) in the case of the Grantors and the Specified Pledgor, contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor or Specified Pledgor, as applicable, is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor or Specified Pledgor. Each of the Grantors and the Specified Pledgor agrees to provide such information to the Notes Collateral Agent promptly upon any reasonable request (which request the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make). For the avoidance of doubt, such authorization shall not impose any duty or obligation on the Notes Collateral Agent to make any such filing, such obligation being that of each Grantor and the Specified Pledgor hereunder. The Grantors and the Specified Pledgor hereby represent that, without limiting the foregoing authorization and grant, the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Supplemental Indenture does not require that any new financing statements be filed to maintain the validity of the security interest previously granted pursuant to the Security Documents or to maintain the perfection of the security interests granted in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, including the New Secured Parties, in each case, to the extent required by the Security Documents and to the extent such security interests can be perfected by the filing in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) of financing statements in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

SECTION 3.3 Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Supplemental Indenture, the priority of the Liens created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (and together with the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the “Intercreditor Agreements”) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (other than Section 3.1) and the Intercreditor Agreements or any such other applicable intercreditor agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements or such other applicable intercreditor agreement shall control.
