(i) Each Grantor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts consistent with prudent business practice to cause to be collected from the Account Debtors, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under or on account of each Account granted as Collateral hereunder (including, without limitation, Accounts which are delinquent, such Accounts to be collected in accordance with lawful collection procedures) and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account. The costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) of collection of Accounts incurred by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent shall be borne by such Grantor.

(ii) Each Grantor shall perform and comply in all material respects with all of its obligations in respect of Accounts, Instruments and General Intangibles.

(iii) Subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, if so requested of any Grantor by the Collateral Agent following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, formal written assignments of all of the Accounts daily, which shall include all Accounts that have been created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto.

(iv) Subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent retains the right after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and to collect the Accounts directly in its own name and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the Grantors. The Collateral Agent has no duty to protect, insure, collect or realize upon the Accounts or preserve rights in them. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to, the Accounts which come into the Collateral Agent’s possession or under the Collateral Agent’s control as a result of its taking any of the foregoing actions. Additionally, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to collect and settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of the Accounts upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, reasonable costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to the Grantors.

(v) Each Grantor will not (i) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Chattel Paper, Instrument or any agreement giving rise to an Account or Payment Intangible comprising a portion of the Collateral, or (ii) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every right which it may have under any Chattel Paper, Instrument and each agreement giving rise to an Account or Payment Intangible comprising a portion of the Collateral (other than any right of termination), except where such action or failure to act, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Intellectual Property.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Covered Document, (i) the Grantors shall not be required to grant as Collateral, a valid, perfected security interest in the Intellectual Property held by the Grantors until the date that is 30 days after the Issue Date, (ii) the Grantors shall have, within 30 days of the Issue Date (or such later date as the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may agree) delivered to the Collateral Agent a supplement to the Perfection Certificate listing all Intellectual Property of such Grantor as of such date, separately identifying that owned by such Grantor and that licensed to such Grantor, which Intellectual Property set forth on such Schedule for such Grantor shall constitute all of its Intellectual Property on such date and (iii) the applicable Grantors shall have, within 30 days of the Issue Date (or such later date as the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may agree) executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Copyright Security Agreement and a Patent and Trademark Security Agreement granting as Collateral, a valid, perfected security interest in the Intellectual Property held by such Grantors.

(ii) If any Grantor shall at any time after the Issue Date (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property, or if any intent-to use trademark application is no longer subject to clause (ii) of the definition of Excluded Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Collateral as if such would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days) provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral, including prompt recordals with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and deliver evidence of the filing of any such instruments, statements and recordals to the Collateral Agent promptly after receipt thereby by such Grantor; provided that such instruments, statements and recordals shall be in form and substance substantially consistent with any such instruments, statements and recordals delivered to the First Priority Designated Agent.

(iii) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days upon the occurrence of each of the following: (a) any Grantor’s acquisition, after the date of this Agreement, of any Material Intellectual Property (including to the extent any existing Intellectual Property of the Grantor becomes Material Intellectual Property) and (b) any Grantor’s obtaining knowledge that any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property owned by, or licensed to, any Grantor is reasonably likely to become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any material adverse determination or material adverse development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such material adverse determination or material adverse development in, any proceeding in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(iv) Each Grantor shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency or court and any Internet domain name registrar, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration), and to maintain each registration of, any Copyright, Trademark, Patent or Internet domain name that is material to such Grantor’s business, including filing applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability, and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings.

(vi) Each Grantor will not, except with respect to any Patent that such Grantor reasonably determines is immaterial in the ordinary course of business, knowingly do any act, or knowingly omit to do any act, whereby any Patent becomes abandoned or dedicated to the public.

(vii) Each Grantor will not, except with respect to any Copyright that such Grantor reasonably determines is immaterial in the ordinary course of business, knowingly do any act, or knowingly omit to do any act, whereby any Copyright becomes abandoned or dedicated to the public.

(viii) In the event that any Copyright, Patent or Trademark included in the Collateral is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the applicable Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and shall, unless such Grantor reasonably determines that such Copyright, Patent or Trademark is immaterial to such Grantor in the ordinary course of business (which determination such Grantor shall promptly report to the Collateral Agent), promptly sue such third party for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or take such other actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Copyright, Patent or Trademark.

(e) Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Investment Property and Letters of Credit.

(i) No Grantor shall be required to maintain a Blocked Account Agreement in respect of any Deposit Account or Investment Account.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Each Grantor, at any time and from time to time, will insure the continued perfection and priority of the Security Interests in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.

In addition to the foregoing, if any Equity Issuer of Investment Property is located in a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, each Grantor shall take such additional actions, including, without limitation, causing the Equity Issuer to register the pledge on its books and records or making such filings or recordings, in each case as may be necessary or advisable, under the laws of such Equity Issuer’s jurisdiction to insure the validity, perfection and priority of the Security Interest.

(f) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall, at any time, acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $3,000,000 other than those listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to this Agreement granting a Security Interest in such Commercial Tort Claim to the Collateral Agent.

(g) Inspection. Each Grantor shall permit such Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (i) to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Grantor, (ii) to examine, and to make copies and extracts from, the books and records of each Grantor and (iii) to discuss their affairs with their officers during normal business hours; provided, however, that (A) if the Collateral Agent retains Persons not affiliated with the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party, as the case may be, to conduct any such audit, the Collateral Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Persons are subject to appropriate non-disclosure and confidentiality requirements for the benefit of such Grantor; (B) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall provide each such Grantor with reasonable prior notice of any such visitation or inspection and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct such visits and inspections so as to minimize costs and disruptions to the Grantors, and the

Grantors shall not be obligated to permit more than one visit and inspection in any calendar year; and (C) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall permit such Persons as the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties may designate (i) to visit and inspect any of the properties of such Grantor, (ii) to examine, and to make copies and extracts from, the books and records of such Grantor and (iii) to discuss their affairs with their officers and Auditor at any time and without notice; provided, however, if the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party retains Persons not affiliated with the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party to conduct any such audit, the Secured Party or the Collateral Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Persons are subject to appropriate non-disclosure and confidentiality requirements for the benefit of such Grantor.

(h) Material Contracts.

(i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, at any time notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the counterparty on any Material Contract of the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the counterparty to make all payments under the Material Contracts directly to the Collateral Agent;

(v) Each Grantor shall promptly and diligently, to the extent commercially reasonable, exercise each material right (except the right of termination) it may have under any Material Contract, any Supporting Obligation or collateral security, in each case, at its own expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take such action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable;

(vi) Each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation or collateral security relating to any Material Contract; and

(vii) Each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prohibit anti-assignment provisions in any Material Contracts entered into after the Issue Date or obtain a consent allowing the assignment of such Material Contract to the Collateral Agent.

(i) Covenants of Each Grantor. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement, until the date upon which the Secured Obligations then due and owing, shall have been paid in full and all commitments under the Covered Documents shall have terminated, such Grantor shall take each action that is necessary to be taken to prevent, or shall refrain from taking each action that would lead to the occurrence of, a Default or Event of Default.

(j) Other Covenants of Each Grantor. 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 then due and owing shall have been paid in full and all commitments under the Covered Documents shall have terminated:

(i) If such Grantor shall, become entitled to receive or shall receive any Certificated Security (including, without limitation, any Certificated Security representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), stock option or similar rights in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests of any Equity Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any ownership interests of the Pledged Equity Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and promptly (but in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Priority Designated Agent as agent for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement) in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Priority Designated Agent as bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement), if required, together with an undated transfer power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor, to be held by the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Priority Designated Agent as bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement), subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations (subject to Section 2 and provided, that, pursuant to this Agreement, in no event shall there be pledged, nor shall any Grantor be required to pledge, Equity Interests to the extent such Equity Interests are excluded from the “Collateral” pursuant to the final paragraph of the definition of “Collateral”).

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) [Reserved].

(iv) Such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Priority Designated Agent), all certificates and Instruments representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral (including, within five (5) days of receipt thereof, Additional Pledged Collateral), whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, accompanied by such Grantor’s endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank. Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor shall not permit any Pledged Equity Interests to represents interests in Issuers that: (A) are registered investment companies, (B) are dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or markets or (C) have opted to be treated as “securities” under Article 8 of the UCC of any jurisdiction. Except with respect to Liens permitted by Section 4.10 of the Indenture and the other Covered Documents, such Grantor shall not grant “control” (within the meaning of such term under Article 9-106 of the UCC) over any Investment Property to any Person other than the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Priority Designated Agent).

(v) If any amount in excess of $1,000,000 payable under or in connection with any Collateral owned by such Grantor shall be or become evidenced by an Instrument, such Grantor shall promptly (but in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) deliver such Instrument to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Priority Designated Agent), accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, or, shall mark all such Instruments with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of ___________, as Collateral Agent, and any purchase or other transfer of this interest is a violation of the rights of __________, as Collateral Agent.”

(vi) Grantor shall maintain the Security Interest in such Grantor’s Pledged Collateral as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described in Section 2 and shall defend such Security Interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver 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 by such Grantor.

(viii) Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent of any default under any Pledged Debt Instruments that could result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6. Insurance, Reporting and Recordkeeping. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent that, from and after the date of this Agreement and until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15(a):

(a) Insurance. Each Grantor shall insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation and public liability insurance) and against other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary (provided that the parties hereto agree that self-insurance is not customary with respect to in transit Inventory insurance), all as reasonably determined by the Grantors in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. Each Grantor will cause the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to be provided with thirty (30) days (or at least ten (10) days in the case of non-payment of premiums) advance notice of the termination of any such policy of insurance.

(b) Maintenance of Records Generally. Each Grantor shall keep and maintain, at its own cost and expense, its Collateral Records, complete and accurate in all material respects, including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with its Collateral. Each Grantor will mark its Collateral Records to evidence this Agreement and the Security Interests. All the Grantors’ Chattel Paper will be marked with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Truist Bank, as Collateral Agent” or words of similar effect. For the Collateral Agent’s further security, each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Event of Default, such Grantor shall deliver and turn over full and complete copies of any such Collateral Records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives, at any time, on demand of the Collateral Agent.

(d) Further Identification of Collateral. If so requested by the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent once per calendar quarter, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral, all in reasonable detail; provided, that, during an Event of Default, such statements and schedules shall be furnished to the Collateral Agent as often as requested by the Collateral Agent.

(e) Notices. Each Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral that is not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the validity, perfection or priority of the Security Interests.

SECTION 7. General Authority. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution (which appointment is coupled with an interest), in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Collateral Agent on its behalf and on behalf of the Secured Parties, but at such Grantor’s expense, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all reasonably 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) to file the financing statements, financing statement amendments and continuation statements referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) and any other financing statements, financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other filings that the Collateral Agent otherwise considers necessary or desirable in its reasonable discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, on behalf of the Secured Parties;

(ii) to take possession of and to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith;

(iii) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due with respect to any Collateral or by virtue thereof;

(iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement;

(v) to commence, continue, settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect to any Collateral;

(vi) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the Proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof;

(vii) to extend the time of payment with reference to the Collateral and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference to the Collateral;

(viii) to 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;

(ix) to execute, in connection with any sale provided for herein, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

(x) to repair, process, modify, complete or otherwise deal with the Collateral and prepare for the disposition of the Collateral, whether on the premises of any Grantor or otherwise;

(xi) to redeem any prior security interest against any Collateral, procure the transfer of such security interest to itself, or settle and pass the accounts of the prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer (any accounts to be conclusive and binding on each Grantor);

(xii) to pay any liability secured by any Lien against any Collateral (and the Grantors agree to immediately on demand reimburse the Collateral Agent for all such payments);

(xiii) to carry on all or any part of the business of any Grantor and, to the exclusion of all others including the Grantors, enter upon, occupy and use all or any of the premises, buildings, and other property of or used by any Grantor for such time as the Collateral Agent sees fit, free of charge, and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties are not liable to any Grantor for any act, omission or negligence in so doing or for any rent, charges, depreciation or damages incurred in connection with or resulting from such action;

(xiv) to amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify any of the organizational documents of any Grantor or any Issuer; and

(xv) to take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC; it being understood that each Grantor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation.

provided, however, that the powers described in clauses (ii) through (xv) above may be exercised by the Collateral Agent only if an Event of Default exists. The appointment as attorney-in-fact under this Section 7 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS, EFFECTIVE UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(D), WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE EQUITY ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE EQUITY ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY

OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON WRITTEN NOTICE BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO THE APPLICABLE GRANTOR AT ANY TIME AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS SECTION 7 IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

SECTION 8. Remedies Upon an Event of Default.

(a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, without further notice to the Grantors, exercise all rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Covered Document or that are available to a secured creditor upon default under the UCC, or that are otherwise available at law or in equity, at any time, in any order and in any combination, including collecting any and all Secured Obligations from the Grantors, and, in addition, the Collateral Agent or its designee may sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors no less than ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of Collateral, except for any Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, in which case the Collateral Agent shall give notice of such sale as early as possible. Each Grantor agrees that any such notice constitutes “reasonable notification” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC (to the extent such Section or any successor provision under the UCC is applicable).

(b) Subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if such Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations or if otherwise permitted by Applicable Law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right of any kind, including any equity or statutory right of redemption of the Grantors. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale shall (i) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, and (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or

times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, such Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for such Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale (whether public or private) of the Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each the Grantor and Secured Parties hereby waive any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such sale (whether public or private) was less than the price that might have been obtained otherwise, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as such sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each the Grantor and Secured Parties hereby agree that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Laws, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority or official, and the Grantor and Secured Parties further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Grantor or Secured Parties for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that the Collateral or any part thereof is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(c) Subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will, at the joint and several expense of the Grantors, and upon the Collateral Agent’s request, forthwith assemble all or any part of its Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available at a place designated by the Collateral Agent which is, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and such Grantor, whether at the premises of such Grantor or otherwise, (ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any such Collateral is or may be located and, without charge or liability to the Collateral Agent, seize and remove such Collateral from such premises, (iii) have access to and use such Grantor’s Collateral Records, and (iv) prior to the disposition of any of the Collateral, store or transfer such Collateral without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased by such Grantor, process, repair or recondition such Collateral or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and, to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate and in connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any Intellectual Property used by such Grantor.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject in any event to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) Upon the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor will promptly (but in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify each Account Debtor, in respect of any Account or Instrument of such Grantor, that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (A) to directly contact and notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent; (B) to direct such Account Debtor or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent; and (C) upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, such Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent. If, notwithstanding the giving of any notice, any Account Debtor or other Person shall make payments to a Grantor, such Grantor shall hold all such payments it receives in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Secured Parties, and shall immediately, upon receipt, deliver the same to the Collateral Agent.

(ii) The Collateral Agent may establish or cause to be established one or more lockboxes or other arrangements for the deposit of Proceeds of Accounts, and in such case, each Grantor shall cause to be forwarded to the Collateral Agent, on a daily basis, all checks and other items of payment and deposit slips related thereto for deposit in such lockboxes.

(iii) The Collateral Agent may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of any Grantor in, to and under any Licenses and take or refrain from taking any action in connection therewith. Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect hereto, except for the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) Upon request by the Collateral Agent, each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent powers of attorney, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, for the implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of option, sale or other disposition of any Intellectual Property. In the event of any such disposition pursuant to this Section, each Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent (A) its know-how and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the products bearing Trademarks or the products or services made or rendered in connection with Patents or Copyrights, and (B) its customer lists and other records relating to such Intellectual Property and the distribution of said products.

(v) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

(vi) In the Collateral Agent’s discretion, upon receipt of concurrent written notice, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (and the Grantors shall cease to have the right) to (A) receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Covered Documents, (B) transfer or to register in its name or in the name of its nominees any Pledged Collateral or (C) to exchange any certificate or instrument representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (and the Grantors shall cease to have the right to exercise) (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders (or other equivalent body) of the relevant Equity Issuer or Equity Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of any Equity Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral 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.

(e) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, the Secured Parties, expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the collateral security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies shall be exercised exclusively by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Equity Issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged by such Grantor hereunder (and each Equity Issuer party hereto hereby agrees) to comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing (x) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) that 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 Equity Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

(g) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Equity Issuer of any Pledged Collateral is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Grantor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Collateral issued by such Equity Issuer shall cease and, subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(h) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Applicable Laws 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 Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Equity Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under applicable Requirements of Law, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Equity Issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may reasonably be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 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 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other 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 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.

(i) After the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, in the case of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent will exercise remedies and sell the Collateral at the direction of the holders of the majority in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Secured Obligations; provided that if the Collateral Agent has asked the holders of Secured Obligations for instructions and the applicable holders have not yet responded to such request, the Collateral Agent will be authorized to take such actions which the Collateral Agent believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the holders of the Secured Obligations and/or to preserve the value of the Collateral.

SECTION 9. Limitation on the Collateral Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond 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 the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral of any Grantor in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Grantors’ Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurance of payment of, the Secured Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, 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 marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of all such laws.

SECTION 10. Application of Proceeds. (a) The Collateral Agent shall, subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement to which the Collateral Agent is party in respect of the Secured Obligations, apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority:

(i) First: to the Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Collateral Agent) and the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) and their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 12 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

(ii) Second: to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the respective amount of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreement); and

(iii) Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

(b) Subject to the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, if, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 10.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the pari passu nature of all the Secured Obligations with respect to the Notes and the Additional Notes, on the one hand, and with respect to the other Future Second Lien Debt, on the other hand, in the event that (i) any of such other Future Second Lien Debt is unenforceable under Applicable Law or is subordinated to any other obligations, (ii) any of such other Future Second Lien Debt does not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral and/or (iii) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than other Secured Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such other Future Second Lien Debt but junior to the security interest of the Secured Obligations with respect to the Notes (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any such Future Second Lien Debt, an “Impairment” of such other Future Second Lien Debt), the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such other Future Second Lien Debt, and the rights of the holders of such other Future Second Lien Debt (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such other Future Second Lien Debt) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of such other Future Second Lien Debt subject to such Impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations with respect to the Notes but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of the holder of Secured Obligations with respect to any other Future Second Lien Debt (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Future Second Lien Debt with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(d) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 10, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Trustee or any Additional Pari Passu Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 10 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Additional Pari Passu Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

SECTION 11. Appointment of Co-Agents. At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other Persons reasonably acceptable to the Secured Parties and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the Grantors, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the provisions of this Section 11).

SECTION 12. Indemnity; Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless, the Collateral Agent (which for purposes of this Section 12 shall include its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents; collectively, with the Collateral Agent, the “Indemnitees” and each an “Indemnitee”) in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Indenture and any corresponding provision in any Additional Pari Passu Agreement in connection with or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Covered Document or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith or in any other way connected with the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), including the violation by any Grantor of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or property damage), or contract claim.

(b) Without limiting the application of subsection (a) above, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Indenture and any corresponding provision in any Additional Pari Passu Agreement for any and all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of the Security Interests in the Collateral, including, without limitation, all documented fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other documented fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending, enforcing or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.

(c) Without limiting the application of subsections (a) or (b) above, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any loss, costs, damages and expenses that such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation by any Grantor in this Agreement, any other Covered Document or in any writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Covered Document.

(d) If and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under Applicable Law. This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute.

All rights of the Collateral Agent, the Security Interests, and all obligations of the Grantors’ hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Covered Document;

(c) 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 Covered Documents including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(d) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or Proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any other assets of any Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries;

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of any Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries; or

(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or a third party grantor.

SECTION 14. Additional Grantors. If, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and/or any Additional Pari Passu Agreement, the Grantors shall be required to cause any Person that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Person shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Pledge and Security Agreement Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall thereafter for all purposes be party hereto as a “Grantor” having the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor initially party hereto.

SECTION 15. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral.

(a) Upon the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claims have been made) in cash and termination of all commitments under the Covered Documents, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.

(b) The Liens granted hereunder securing the Obligations with respect to the Notes will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture. The Liens granted hereunder securing any Future Second Lien Debt will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in the Additional Pari Passu Agreement governing such obligations. The Liens granted hereunder securing any Secured Obligations will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 5.1 of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) At any time that any Grantor desires the release of Liens granted hereunder with respect to any part of the Collateral of any Grantor, such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate of such Grantor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted strictly in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the other Covered Documents and, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the Proceeds of any such sale, disposition, dissolution or other release, if applicable (other than with respect to a sale or disposition to a Grantor), are applied strictly in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the other Covered Documents, to the extent required to be so applied.

(d) Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or release of such Collateral pursuant to such Grantor’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsections (b) and (c) above and the other conditions set forth in the applicable Covered Documents, if any, and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of such Grantor, deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, but without recourse or warranty to the Collateral Agent, including but not limited to, written authorization to file termination statements to evidence the termination of the Security Interests in such Collateral.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct believes to be in accordance with) this Section 15.

(f) Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC, no action taken or omission to act by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, any exercise of voting or consensual rights or any other action taken or inaction, shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, and the Secured Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, until the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have applied payments (including, without limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the Secured Obligations in the full amount then outstanding or until such subsequent time as is provided in subsection (a) of this Section.

SECTION 16. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Requirement of Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. This Section 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 17. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to: (i) the Company and the Collateral Agent at their respective addresses for notices provided for in the Indenture (ii) each other Grantor c/o the Company at its address for notices provided for in the Indenture and (iii) each Additional Pari Passu Agent at its address provided for in the applicable Pari Passu Joinder Agreement.

SECTION 18. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, and no course of dealing between any Grantor on the one hand and the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party on the other hand shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or any other Covered Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein and in the other Covered Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Grantor not required hereunder in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

SECTION 19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of such Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 20. [Reserved].
