(b)                                 If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.2.

(c)                                  Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder without, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

(d)                                 The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may not then owe any Borrower Obligations.

(e)                                  No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding

9

any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor (including by means of setoff or appropriation) in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date.

2.2.                            Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation.  In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Agreement Party or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Agreement Party or its property (other than the property of Parent):

(a)                                 If such payment is made by the Borrower or from its property, then, if and to the extent such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan or other extension of credit made to the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Agreement Party or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other person, including any other Agreement Party or its property (other than the property of Parent).

(b)                                 If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property (other than the property of Parent), such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, (i) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrower and (ii) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor that has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)                                  Until the Termination Date, notwithstanding Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), no Agreement Party shall be entitled, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Agreement Parties entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Agreement Party as set forth in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement nor shall any Agreement Party seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Agreement Party in respect of payments made by any Agreement Party hereunder.  Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Agreement Parties, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation.  If subrogation is demanded by any Agreement Party, then (and only after the Termination Date) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Agreement Parties making such demand, or to a representative of such Agreement Parties or of the Agreement Parties generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security

10

interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Administrative Agent.

(d)         All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Agreement Party as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects prior to the Termination Date.  Until the Termination Date, no Agreement Party shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim.  If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Agreement Party in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations.  If any such payment or distribution is received by any Agreement Party, it shall be held by such Agreement Party in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall promptly be transferred and delivered by such Agreement Party to the Administrative Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed, to be applied against any Borrower Obligations then outstanding in accordance with Section 6.5.

(e)          The obligations of the Agreement Parties under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be granted in respect of, otherwise encumber or be enforceable against any property of Parent), are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2 and the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.  The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property (other than the property of Parent).  The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.

(f)           Each Agreement Party reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Agreement Party, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 2.2(c).

2.3.                            Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations.  Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the

11

Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent) or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) and the applicable Loan Parties may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent), guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any Lien on the property of Parent) or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property (other than the property of Parent) subject thereto.

2.4.                            Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.  Each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.  Each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations.  Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that until the Termination Date the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent) therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment, performance or release of guarantee hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or against any collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent) or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any

12

right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or to realize upon any such collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent) or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or any such collateral security (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any property of Parent), guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor, except to the extent of any such release.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.5.                            Reinstatement.  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.6.                            Payments.  Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent as specified in the Credit Agreement.

2.7.                            Parent Representations.

SECTION 4.                            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that:

15

4.1.                            Title; No Other Liens.  Such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens, including Liens arising as a result of such Grantor becoming bound (as a result of merger or otherwise) as grantor under a security agreement entered into by another person, except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

4.2.                            Perfected First Priority Liens.  This Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral of such Grantor, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.  When (i) in the case of the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, stock certificates and promissory notes representing such Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, respectively, together with powers indorsed for transfer to the Administrative Agent or in blank, are delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) financing statements and other filings listed on Schedule 4.2 are filed in appropriate form in the offices specified thereon, this Agreement shall create a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right title and interest of such Grantor in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof ((a) to the extent such security interest may be perfected under the New York UCC by filing a financing statement, (b) in the case of the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, to the extent such security interest may be perfected under the New York UCC by possession thereof (and of appropriate transfer powers) by the Administrative Agent, (c) with respect to Patents and Trademarks, to the extent such security interest may be perfected under the New York UCC by filing evidence of such security interest with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, (d) with respect to Copyrights, to the extent such security interest may be perfected under the New York UCC by filing evidence of such security interest with the United States Copyright Office and (e) except to the extent the actions to perfect such security interest are not then required to have been taken under the terms of the Loan Documents) as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (except (A) in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement and (B) in the case of the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, non-consensual Liens arising by operation of law).

(c)                                  None of the terms of any uncertificated Pledged LLC Interests and Pledged Partnership Interests expressly provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the “issuer’s jurisdiction” of each Issuer thereof (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in such jurisdiction).

(d)                                 All certificated Pledged LLC Interests and Pledged Partnership Interests, if any, do not expressly provide that they are “securities” for purposes of Section 8-103(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction.

17

(e)                                  Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other person, except the security interests created by this Agreement and Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity Interests.

(f)                                   Each Issuer that is not a Grantor hereunder has executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Acknowledgment and Consent, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, to the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

4.8.                            Intellectual Property.  (a)  As of the Restatement Date, Schedule 4.8(a) lists all (i) Intellectual Property which is registered with a Governmental Authority or is the subject of an application for registration and all material unregistered Intellectual Property (other than unregistered Copyrights), in each case which is owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof (collectively, the “Owned Intellectual Property”) and (ii) licenses of United States Intellectual Property applications or registrations in which such Grantor is an exclusive licensee.  As of the Restatement Date, except as set forth in Schedule 4.8(a) and except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,  each such Grantor is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to all such Owned Intellectual Property and is otherwise entitled to use, and grant to others the right to use, all such Owned Intellectual Property subject only to the license terms of the licensing or franchise agreements referred to in paragraph (c) below.  Such Grantor has the right to use all Intellectual Property which it uses in its business, but does not own (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”).

(b)                                 As of the Restatement Date, all Owned Intellectual Property and, to such Grantor’s knowledge, all Licensed Intellectual Property (collectively, the “Material Intellectual Property”), is subsisting, unexpired and has not been abandoned, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted nor the use of the Intellectual Property in connection therewith conflicts with, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, misuses or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of any other person, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)                                  As of the Restatement Date, except as set forth in Schedule 4.8(c), on the date hereof (i) none of the Material Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchisor and (ii) there are no other agreements, obligations, orders or judgments which materially affect the use of any Material Intellectual Property.

18

(d)                                 The rights of such Grantor in or to the Material Intellectual Property do not conflict with or infringe upon the rights of any third party, and no claim has been asserted in writing that the use of such Intellectual Property does or may infringe upon the rights of any third party except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)                                  As of the Restatement Date, no action or proceeding is pending, or, to such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened in writing (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question any Owned Intellectual Property, (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold by such Grantor infringe any patent, trademark, copyright, or any other right of any other person or (iii) alleging that any Material Intellectual Property is being licensed, sublicensed or used in violation of any intellectual property or any other right of any other person, in each case, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral, taken as a whole.  On the date hereof, to such Grantor’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 4.8(e) no person is engaging in any activity that infringes upon, or is otherwise an unauthorized use of, any Material Intellectual Property or upon the rights of such Grantor therein.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8(e) as of the date hereof, such Grantor has not granted any license, release, covenant not to sue, non-assertion assurance, or other right to any person with respect to any part of the Material Intellectual Property.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the enforcement of remedies) will not result in the termination or impairment of any of the Material Intellectual Property the loss of which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f)                                   To such Grantor’s knowledge, with respect to each Copyright License, Trademark License, Trade Secret License and Patent License which relates to Material Intellectual Property or the loss of which could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) such license is in full force and effect and represents the entire agreement between the respective licensor and licensee with respect to the subject matter of such license; (ii) such license will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interests granted herein, nor will the grant of such rights and interests constitute a breach or default under such license or otherwise give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such license; (iii) such Grantor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iv) such Grantor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach or default has not been cured; (v) such Grantor has not granted to any other person any rights, adverse or otherwise, under such license; and (vi) such Grantor is not in breach or default in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such license, except in each case as would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral, taken as a whole.

(g)                                  Except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) none of the Trade Secrets of such Grantor that are material to its business have been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of such Grantor for the benefit of any other person; (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other person in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor; and (iii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor is in default or

19

breach of any term of any employment agreement, non-disclosure agreement, assignment of inventions agreement or similar agreement or contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of such Grantor’s Intellectual Property.

(h)                                 Such Grantor has made all filings and recordations necessary to adequately protect (in its reasonable business judgment) its interest in its Material Intellectual Property, including recordation of its interests in the Patents and Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and recordation of any of its interests in the Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office.

(i)                                     Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor has taken all commercially reasonable steps to use consistent standards of quality in the manufacture, distribution and sale of all products sold and provision of all services provided under or in connection with any item of Intellectual Property and has taken all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that all licensed users of any kind of Intellectual Property use such consistent standards of quality.

(j)                                    Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor is subject to any settlement or consents, judgment, injunction, order, decree, covenants not to sue, non-assertion assurances or releases that would impair the validity or enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property.

4.9.                            Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Rights.  No Grantor is a beneficiary or assignee under any letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000 (including any “Letter of Credit”) other than the letters of credit described on Schedule 4.9 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time).

4.10.                     Deposit Accounts.  Schedule 4.10 sets forth all Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) maintained by the Grantors as of the Restatement Date.

5.2.                            Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.  (a)  Except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall maintain each of the security interests created by this Agreement as a security interest having at least the perfection and priority described in Section 4.2 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever except as otherwise permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 8.15.

(b)                                 At any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly and duly authorize, execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, (i) the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property subject to the requirements of Section 5.21 and any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect thereto; provided, however, that after the payment in full of the ABL Facility, in no event shall any Grantor be required to execute or deliver any

21

control agreement (including any Deposit Account Control Agreement) in respect of any Deposit Account or Securities Account.

5.3.                            Changes in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, etc.  (a) Such Grantor shall give 10 days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein after any of the following:

(i)                                     a change in its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.3; or

(ii)                                  a change in its legal name, identity or structure that would render any financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement “seriously misleading” (as such term is used in Section 907(b) of the New York UCC).

5.4.                            Investment Property.  (a) If such Grantor shall receive any Certificated Security (including any certificate 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), options or rights in respect of the Equity Interests in any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Equity Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and deliver the same promptly to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or similar instrument of transfer covering such Certificated Security duly executed in blank by such Grantor, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b)                                 Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any issuer of Pledged Equity Interests to issue any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature of any such issuer (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Investment Property constituting Collateral or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or any Lien permitted thereon pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (v) cause or permit any Issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not

22

securities (for purposes of the New York UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the New York UCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the provisions in this clause (v), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” thereof.

(c)                                  In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and shall comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it shall notify the Administrative Agent concurrently with delivery of the financial statements required under Section 5.04(b) of the Credit Agreement in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.4(a) with respect to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 6.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with respect to the Pledged Collateral issued by it.  In addition, each Grantor which is either an Issuer or an owner of any Pledged Collateral hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Collateral to the Administrative Agent or its nominee following an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a partner, member or shareholder of the Issuer of the related Pledged Collateral.

5.5.                            Intellectual Property.  (a)  Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall (i) to the extent commercially reasonable, continue to use each Trademark owned by such Grantor material to its business on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark at least at the level of quality of such products and services in the past, (iii) where commercially reasonable and feasible, use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by law, and (iv) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee of such Grantor to) knowingly do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark is likely to become invalidated or materially impaired in any way, unless, in the case of each of the foregoing, such Grantor shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Trademark is no longer necessary for, or desirable in the conduct of, such Grantor’s business.

(b)                                 Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not knowingly do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent owned by such Grantor material to its business could reasonably be expected to become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public unless such Grantor shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Patent is no longer necessary for, or desirable in the conduct of, such Grantor’s business.

23

(c)                                  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not knowingly do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of any material Copyright owned by such Grantor is likely to become invalidated or otherwise materially impaired, unless, in the case of each of the foregoing, such Grantor shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Copyright is no longer necessary for, or desirable in, the conduct of, such Grantor’s business.  Such Grantor shall not knowingly do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyright is likely to fall into the public domain, unless such Grantor shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Copyright or portion thereof is no longer necessary for, or desirable in the conduct of, such Grantor’s business.

(d)                                 Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not knowingly do any act that knowingly uses any Material Intellectual Property to infringe, misappropriate or violate the Intellectual Property rights of any other person in any material respect.

(g)                                  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall take all reasonable and necessary steps, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office to maintain and pursue each application (for registration) and to maintain each registration of Intellectual Property material to its business, including the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees, and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings , unless such Grantor shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that any such application or registration of material Intellectual Property is no longer necessary for, or desirable in the conduct of, such Grantor’s business.

24

(h)                                 Such Grantor agrees to execute an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to its Intellectual Property in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 in order to record the security interest granted in such Intellectual Property herein to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

(j)                                    Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets material to its business.

5.6.                            Commercial Tort Claims.  Such Grantor shall advise the Administrative Agent concurrently with delivery of the financial statements required under Section 5.04(b) of the Credit Agreement of any Commercial Tort Claim held by such Grantor in excess of $1,000,000 and shall promptly thereafter, upon written request by the Administrative Agent, execute a supplement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to grant a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

5.7.                            Deposit Accounts.  The Grantors shall promptly enter into Deposit Account Control Agreements with respect to each Deposit Account maintained by them other than any Excluded Account, provided that the requirement of this Section 5.7 shall be deemed satisfied for so long as the ABL Agent is acting as agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to each control agreement the ABL Agent is a party to and so long as the ABL Credit Agreement is outstanding subject to any requirements set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to the timing of delivery of such control agreements to the ABL Agent; provided, however, that after the payment in full of the ABL Facility, in no event shall any Grantor be required to execute or deliver any control agreement (including any Deposit Account Control Agreement) in respect of any Deposit Account or Securities Account.

SECTION 6.                            REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1.                            Certain Matters Relating to Accounts.  (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default after written notice is delivered to the Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.  The Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it

25

gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party; provided that the provisions of Section 9.16 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to such information.

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts, and each Grantor hereby agrees to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Accounts and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Account and any Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c)                                  At the Administrative Agent’s reasonable written request after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Grantor shall, at such Grantor’s expense, deliver to the Administrative Agent all (to the extent existing and available) original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2.                            Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.  (a)  The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with obligors under the Accounts and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts or Contracts.  The Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party; provided, that the provisions of Section 9.16 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to such information.

(b)                                 Upon reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may at any time notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Account or Contract of the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein.  In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the Accounts and/or Contracts directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c)                                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any

26

action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3.                            Pledged Collateral.  (a)  Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

(b)                                 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(b): (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property to its name or the name of its nominee or agent and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without notice to the relevant Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.  In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request in writing and each Grantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

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

6.4.                            Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all

27

Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon demand, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required).  All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account.  All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5.                            Application of Proceeds.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6) constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

First, to the Administrative Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Termination Date shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

6.6.                            Code and Other Remedies.  (a)  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below, by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to or upon any Grantor or any other person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any

28

Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute reasonable notification.  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Administrative 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.  The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable written request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process.

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent required to be paid in accordance with the Credit Agreement, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5 and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.  If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited

29

with proceeds of the sale.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.

6.7.                            Registration Rights.  (a)  If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, are reasonably necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto.  Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

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

(c)                                  Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to Section 6.6 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable law.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7

30

shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement, that the applicable Grantor has been released from its obligations hereunder, that the Termination Date has occurred or a defense of payment.

6.8.                            Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations.

SECTION 7.                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1.                            Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

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

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

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

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

31

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

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)                                 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however if a Default has occurred and is continuing, and if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance (except as otherwise provided herein) solely to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be, or remain, satisfied.

(c)                                  Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Termination Date.

7.2.                            Duty of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither the

32

Administrative Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.  The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

7.3.                            Execution of Financing Statements.  Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property,” whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, reasonably determines is necessary or advisable.  A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

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

7.5.                            Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents.  At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any applicable requirement of law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be reasonably necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent).

8.4.                            Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)  Each Agreement Party agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Agreement Party under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Agreement Party is a party (but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable out-of-pocket documented fees, disbursements and charges of one counsel of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, taken as a whole, and if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to such persons, taken as a whole).

8.6.                            Set-Off.  Each Agreement Party hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Agreement Party or any other Agreement Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Agreement Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Agreement Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Agreement Party to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Agreement Party, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured.  Each Secured Party shall notify such Agreement Party promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

8.7.                            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including .pdf)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8.                            Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
