(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such Grantor’s Collateral, subject, in each case to the exceptions and exclusions in the Note Documents and to the same extent as required for the Liens granted on the Issue Date;

(ii) in the case of Certificated Securities, cause the Collateral Agent to have Control thereof;

(iii) enable the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to obtain the full benefits of the Security Documents; or

(iv) enable, to the extent possible, the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies with respect to any of such Grantor’s Collateral, subject, in each case to the exceptions and exclusions in the Note Documents.

Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements in such jurisdictions with such descriptions of collateral (including “all assets” or “all personal property” or other words to that effect) and other information set forth therein as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any such jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interests granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. The Company will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.

(b) Such Grantor will not (i) change its name or organizational form or structure or (ii) change its jurisdiction of organization, unless, in each case, it promptly informs the Collateral Agent and takes all steps reasonably that are necessary to maintain the perfection and status of the Transaction Liens.

(c) Such Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of its Collateral; provided that such Grantor may do any of the foregoing unless doing so would violate a covenant in the Indenture. Concurrently with any sale, lease, exchange, assignment or other disposition permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold, leased, exchanged, assigned or otherwise disposed of (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or disposition) will be released in accordance with Section 11.05 of the Indenture. The Collateral Agent will promptly, at the Company’s expense,

execute and deliver to the relevant Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold, leased, exchanged, assigned or otherwise disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien.

(d) Such Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Collateral Agent all information and evidence concerning such Grantor’s Collateral that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents.

Section 5. As-Extracted Collateral. If any Grantor acquires any interest in any preparation plant or any As-Extracted Collateral, then, in each case, unless such preparation plant is included on ‎Schedule 8 hereto, such Grantor will (i) provide notice thereof to the Collateral Agent within 20 days of such acquisition, together with a supplement to ‎Schedule 8 reflecting such acquisition, (ii) prepare and file any financing statement covering such As-Extracted Collateral (which financing statements shall include the name of the record owner of the real estate if other than the Grantor and sufficient real estate descriptions for recording) as are necessary to record and perfect the Lien in such As-Extracted Collateral and (iii) pay all related filing fees and any recording or stamp taxes due in connection with such filings.

Section 6. Recordable Intellectual Property. Each Grantor covenants as follows:

(a) On the Restatement Date or such later date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement, such Grantor will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent Intellectual Property Security Agreements with respect to all Recordable Intellectual Property then owned by it. At the request of the Collateral Agent (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to make such request), Grantor will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreement covering any acquired material Recordable Intellectual Property, and the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto.

(b) Such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent as soon as reasonably practicable if any material Recordable Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is abandoned or dedicated to the public, or if there is any proceeding instituted in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court, that challenges such Grantor’s ownership of such material Recordable Intellectual Property. If any of such Grantor’s rights to any material Recordable Intellectual Property are infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party such that there is a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent thereof as soon as is reasonably practicable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default upon the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License under which such Grantor is a licensee to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or its designee.

Section 7. Investment Property. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Certificated Securities. On the Restatement Date or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement, such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities then owned by such Grantor. Thereafter, whenever such Grantor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security, such Grantor will, as promptly as practicable, deliver such certificate to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any Excluded Collateral.

(b) [Reserved].

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When (x) such Grantor delivers the certificate representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Collateral Agent, which delivery shall be in compliance with ‎Section 7(j) and (y) the Collateral Agent takes possession and obtains Control in the State of New York over such Pledged Certificated Security, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (other than Liens permitted under Section 4.10 of the Indenture), and (ii) the Collateral Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) [Reserved].

(h) [Reserved].

(i) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlementsowned by such Grantor, and all Securities Accounts to which the related Financial Assets are credited, the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 8- 110(e)) will at all times be located in the United States. In respect of all Commodity Contracts owned by such Grantor and all Commodity Accounts in which such Commodity Contracts are carried, the Commodity Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 9- 305(b)) will at all times be located in the United States.

(j) Delivery of Pledged Certificates. All Pledged Certificates, when delivered to the Collateral Agent, will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank.

(k) Certification of Limited Liability Company and Partnership Interests. Any limited liability company and any partnership controlled by any Grantor shall either (i) not include in its operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such limited liability company or such partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (ii) certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or such partnership. To

the extent an interest in any limited liability company or partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged hereunder is certificated or becomes certificated, each such certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to ‎Section 7(a) and such Grantor shall fulfill all other requirements under ‎Section 7 applicable in respect thereof.

Section 8. [Reserved].

Section 9. Cash Collateral Accounts. If and when required for purposes hereof or of any other Note Document, the Collateral Agent will establish with respect to each Grantor an account (each a “Cash Collateral Account”), in the name and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent, into which all amounts owned by such Grantor that are to be deposited therein pursuant to the Note Documents shall be deposited from time to time. Funds held in any Cash Collateral Account may, until withdrawn, be invested and reinvested in such Cash Equivalents as the relevant Grantor shall request from time to time; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, select such Cash Equivalents. Subject to ‎Section 15, withdrawal of funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account shall be permitted if, as and when expressly so provided in or in respect of the applicable provision of the Note Documents pursuant to which such Cash Collateral Account was required to be established.

Section 10. Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) ‎Schedule 5 accurately describes, with the specificity required to satisfy Official Comment 5 to UCC Section 9-108, each Material Commercial Tort Claim with respect to which such Grantor is the claimant as of the Restatement Date. In the case of any Grantor , ‎Schedule 4 to its first Security Agreement Supplement will accurately describe, with the specificity required to satisfy said Official Comment 5, each Material Commercial Tort Claim with respect to which such Grantor is the claimant as of the date on which it signs and delivers such Security Agreement Supplement.

Section 11. Transfer of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, may, but shall not be obligated to, (and to the extent that action by it is required, the relevant Grantor, if directed to do so by the Collateral Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee. Each Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section.

Section 12. Right to Vote Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Collateral Agent has provided written notice of its exercise of rights pursuant to Section 12(b) below, each Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security Entitlement owned by it.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then with written notice to the Company, the Collateral Agent will have the exclusive right to, but not the obligation to, the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of a Pledged partnership interest, whether general or limited, or Pledged membership interest or similar interest in a limited liability company, by the relevant partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other governing document) to vote, to give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Pledged Investment Property, the other Pledged Equity Interests and the Financial Assets underlying the Pledged Security Entitlements, with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each Grantor will take all such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right.

Section 13. [Reserved].

Section 14. Remedies upon Event of Default.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such sub- agents) under the Security Documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the Collateral Agent may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and (with the consent of the Collateral Agent, which may be withheld in its discretion) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all of any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Upon any such sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim, or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent

may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. The Collateral Agent may disclaim any warranty, as to title or as to any other matter, in connection with such sale or other disposition, and its doing so shall not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition.

(c) Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Grantor(s) as (and if) required by ‎Section 17.

(d) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

(e) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall apply to Real Property Collateral only to the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of any applicable Mortgage.

Section 15. Application of Proceeds.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply (i) any cash held in the Collateral Accounts and (ii) the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the following order of priorities:

first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel for the Collateral Agent and Trustee, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent and Trustee in connection with the Security Documents, and any other amounts then due and payable to the Collateral Agent and Trustee pursuant to Sections 7.07 and 11.08 of the Indenture;

second, to pay (i) all Secured Obligations under the Note Documents (including without limitation principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts owing thereunder), and (ii) all other Secured Obligations, in each case pro rata in accordance with their respective amounts, until payment in full of all such interest and fees shall have been made (or so provided for); and

third, to pay to the relevant Grantor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it;

provided that Collateral owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses first, second and third only in a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render respective Grantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable state law. The Collateral Agent may make such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

(b) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to ‎Section 19(c). All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any amount distributed to it.

Section 16. [Reserved.]

Section 17. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the Issuers’ expense, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Grantor’s Collateral:

(a) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

(b) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor pursuant to the Indenture, if any,

(d) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and

(e) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

provided that, except in the case of Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Collateral Agent will give the relevant Grantor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with this sentence in

any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.

Section 18. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control 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 the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 19. General Provisions Concerning the Collateral Agent.

(a) The provisions of Articles VII and XI of the Indenture shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and shall be binding upon all Grantors and all Secured Parties, in connection with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents that the Trustee directs the Collateral Agent in writing to exercise, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Note Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Grantor that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Transaction Lien, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Security Documents and shall have no obligation to take any action to procure or maintain such validity, perfection, sufficiency, adequacy, priority or enforceability, including without limitation no responsibility to make any filings to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee.

(b) Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its Affiliates and through its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents and advisors (jointly, the “Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of ‎Section 18 and this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.

(c) Information as to Secured Obligations and Actions by Secured Parties. For all purposes of the Security Documents, including determining the amounts of the Secured Obligations and whether a Secured Obligation is a Contingent Secured Obligation or not, or whether any action has been taken under any Secured Agreement, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely on information from (i) its own records for information as to the Holders, their Secured Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) the Trustee for information as to its Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained such information from its own records, and (iii) the Issuers, to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources.

(d) Refusal to Act. The Collateral Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent, direction or instruction from the Trustee or any Secured Parties, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary to law or the provisions of any Security Document, (ii) may expose the Collateral Agent to liability (unless the Collateral Agent shall have been indemnified, to its satisfaction, for such liability by the Secured Parties that gave such notice, consent, direction or instruction) or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to Secured Parties not joining in such notice, consent, direction or instruction.

Section 20. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral.

(a) The Transaction Lien granted by any Grantor shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.05 of the Indenture.

(b) The Collateral (or a portion thereof) shall be released from the Transaction Lien created by this Agreement, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.05 of the Indenture.

(c) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

Section 21. Additional Guarantors and Grantors. Any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor may become a party hereto by signing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Grantor” as defined herein.

Section 22. [Reserved.]

Section 23. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 13.01 of the Indenture, and in the case of any such notice, request or other communication to a Grantor other than the Company, shall be given to it in care of the Company.

Section 24. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with

respect to, any right or remedy under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Note Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Note Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 25. Successors and Assigns. The Liens provided for in this Agreement are for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such obligation. This Agreement shall be binding on each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 26. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent, with the consent of such Holders, if any, as are required to consent thereto under Article IX of the Indenture. No such waiver, amendment or modification shall be binding upon any Grantor, except with its written consent.

Section 27. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York) and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.

Section 28. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 29. Severability. If any provision of any Security Document is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions of the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and the Secured Parties in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.

Section 30. Conflicts with Note Documents. To the fullest extent possible, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be read together with the terms and provisions of each other Note Document so that the terms and provisions of this Agreement do not conflict with the terms and provisions of any Note Document; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture conflicts with any terms or provisions of any Note Document, including this Agreement, the terms or provisions of the Indenture shall govern and control for all purposes; provided further that (a) the inclusion in this Agreement of terms and provisions as to rights or remedies in favor of the Collateral Agent related to Collateral and not expressly addressed in the Indenture shall not be deemed to be in conflict with the Indenture and all such rights or remedies contained herein shall be given full force and effect, and (b) the inclusion in this Agreement of terms or provisions that are less restrictive to the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be deemed to be in conflict with the Indenture and all such terms and provisions contained herein shall be given full force and effect.

Section 31. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Note Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Collateral Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 32. Concerning the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent is a party to this Agreement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture and not in its individual capacity. The Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges and immunities afforded to it as Collateral Agent under the Indenture and the other Note Documents as though fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Agreement unless consented to by the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Section 33. Amendment and Restatement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantors party hereto and the Collateral Agent, this Agreement shall supersede all provisions of the Existing Security Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The Grantors hereby agree that, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the liens and security interests created and provided for under the Existing Security Agreement continue in effect under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of all of the Secured Obligations, as defined herein, and each of the instruments and documents executed and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Existing Security Agreement (including, without limitation, all currently filed UCC financing statements in favor of the Predecessor Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as amended or assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Confirmation Order) shall continue in full force and effect securing the Secured Obligations, as defined herein, and all references therein to the Existing Security Agreement or any other instrument or document executed and delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed a reference to this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Existing Security Agreement as to the indebtedness and obligations which would otherwise be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.

iv.       The Security Agreement as supplemented hereby constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Grantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

v.       Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3, 7, and 10 of the Security Agreement is true as applied to the Grantor and the New Collateral; provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be
