DOMESTIC SECURITY AGREEMENT

DOMESTIC SECURITY AGREEMENT dated May 12, 2011 (this “Agreement”) made by SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES FINANCE COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “US Borrower”), and the other Persons listed on the signature pages hereof (together with the US Borrower, the “Grantors”), to Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent (together with any successor collateral agent appointed pursuant to Article 9 of the Credit Agreement referred to below, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The US Borrower, SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES B.V., a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “BV Borrower” and together with the US Borrower, the “Borrowers”), and SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES INTERMEDIATE HOLDING B.V., a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of May 12, 2011 (such agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”) with the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Initial L/C Issuer (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Initial Swing Line Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have entered into or may from time to time enter into lines of credit (committed or uncommitted) and other similar arrangements (the “Bilateral Obligations”) with Lenders or their Affiliates and certain other financial institutions as initially set forth on Schedule XII hereto and as such schedule may be amended from time to time upon written notice by the Borrowers to the applicable Lenders or Affiliates and certain other financial institutions (each, in such capacity, a “Bilateral Provider”).

Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity Interests (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “Initial Pledged Equity”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of Schedule I hereto and issued by the Persons named therein and of the indebtedness (the “Initial Pledged Debt”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part II of Schedule I hereto and issued by the obligors named therein.

Each Grantor is the owner of the deposit accounts (the “Pledged Deposit Accounts”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II hereto.

Each Grantor is the owner of the securities accounts (the “Securities Accounts”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule III hereto.

Each Grantor has rights in and to all commodity contracts (the “Pledged Commodity Contracts”) carried from time to time in each such Grantor’s commodities accounts (the “Commodities Accounts”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule IV hereto.

The US Borrower will be the owner of an account to be opened at the request of the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Account”).

It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuer under the Credit Agreement and the entry into Secured Hedge Agreements by the

Domestic Security Agreement

Hedge Banks from time to time that the Grantors shall have granted the security interest contemplated by this Agreement. Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Bilateral Providers.

Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the UCC (as defined below) are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9. “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; provided that, if perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of the security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection or priority.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce (i) the Lenders to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Bilateral Providers to provide or continue to provide Bilateral Obligations to time and (iii) the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time, each Grantor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of security interest in (and the term “Collateral” shall be deemed not to include) (A) any joint venture, lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement to which any Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder, to the extent that and for so long as (but only for so long as), the grant of such security interest shall (1) constitute or result in the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability under applicable law of any right, title or interest of any Grantor therein or (2) constitute or result in a material breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a material default, under, any such joint venture, lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor

provision or provisions)); provided that such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents necessary for the granting of such Lien on such property hereunder; or (B) any Equipment owned by any Grantor that is subject to a purchase money Lien or a Capitalized Lease (as defined in the Credit Agreement) permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement if the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted (or in the documentation providing for such Capitalized Lease) prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such Equipment, but only, in each case, to the extent and for so long as (but only for so long as), the Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) secured by the applicable Lien or the applicable Capitalized Lease has not been repaid in full or the applicable prohibition has not otherwise been removed or terminated; provided that any proceeds, substitutions or replacements of any property included in subclauses (A) and (B) above shall not be excluded (unless such proceeds, substitutions or replacements would itself constitute property excluded under subclause (A) or (B)).

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the payment of all Obligations, “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Domestic Guaranty), Cash Management Obligations, Secured Hedge Obligations and Bilateral Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all such obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Credit Agreement to the contrary, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Bilateral Obligations secured hereby shall not exceed $40,000,000 and (ii) to the extent that Bilateral Obligations are cash collateralized or otherwise secured (other than pursuant to this Agreement), such Bilateral Obligations shall not be secured hereby.

SECTION 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

SECTION 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral in excess of $2,500,000 in principal amount individually shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time, to (i) transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations; provided that the Collateral Agent provides written notice to the applicable Grantor.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of the Collateral Agent, with respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the

issuer thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that upon receipt of a notice of exclusive control following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (such agreement being an “Uncertificated Security Control Agreement”).

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Securities Accounts and any Security Collateral that constitutes a security entitlement with an aggregate value in excess of $2,500,000 and as to which the financial institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities intermediary with respect to such Account or security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder thereof or (ii) to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a “Securities Account Control Agreement”).

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Commodities Accounts and any Security Collateral that constitutes a commodity contract with an aggregate value in excess of $2,500,000 at any time, such Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the commodity intermediary with respect to such Account or commodity contract either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent as the beneficiary thereof or (ii) to agree in an agreement with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such commodity intermediary will apply any value distributed on account of such commodity contract as directed by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (such agreement being a “Commodity Account Control Agreement”).

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 14(a). In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the Collateral Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to one or more of the applicable Securities Accounts or the Collateral Account.

(f) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Security Collateral granted by it hereunder that such Security Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

SECTION 5. Maintaining the Collateral Account; Pledged Deposit Accounts. So long as any Loan or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and which by their terms survive termination of the Loan Document), any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, or any Lender shall have any Commitment; provided that Letters of Credit shall be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder in accordance with the Cash Collateralization or back-to-back letter of credit provisions set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement:

(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(a), each Grantor will maintain the Collateral Account and the Pledged Deposit Accounts only with the financial institution acting as

Collateral Agent hereunder or with a bank (a “Pledged Account Bank”) that has agreed with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent to comply, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in such deposit account without the further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a “Deposit Account Control Agreement”); provided, however, this Section 5(a) shall not apply to deposit accounts (i) to the extent the average daily balance, measurable over a trailing 30-day period, on deposit in each such deposit account does not exceed $5,000,000 at any time or (ii) operated solely as a payroll account. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(a), each Grantor agrees that at no time shall the average daily balance, measurable over a trailing 30-day period, on deposit in all deposit accounts for which there is not in effect a Deposit Account Control Agreement exceed $15,000,000. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Grantors shall not have any obligation to execute and deliver or otherwise subject any deposit account to an Account Control Agreement during the first 120 days following the Closing Date (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may otherwise agree in its sole and reasonable discretion).

(b) The Collateral Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Pledged Deposit Accounts or the Collateral Account to satisfy the Grantor’s Obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 6. Investing of Amounts in the Collateral Account. During periods when the Collateral Agent exercises sole control over the Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 22: (a) from time to time, invest, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to invest, amounts received with respect to the Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the Collateral Account as the Borrower may select and the Collateral Agent may approve, (b) from time to time, invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in subsection (a) above and reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner, (c) deposit interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above in the Collateral Account and (d) have the right to exchange, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to exchange, such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the Collateral Account.

SECTION 7. Release of Amounts. To the extent that (i) any proceeds were deposited in the Collateral Account or a Pledged Deposit Account during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) there are remaining proceeds in such Collateral Account or Pledged Deposit Account upon the termination of such Event of Default, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent will pay and release, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the applicable Grantor or at its order or, at the request of such Grantor, to the Collateral Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in such Collateral Account or Pledged Deposit Account, in each case to the extent permitted to be released under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Such Grantor’s exact legal name, as defined in Section 9-503(a) of the UCC, is correctly set forth in Schedule VIII hereto. Such Grantor’s location, chief executive office, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and organizational identification number, if any, is set forth in Schedule VIII hereto and is accurate in all material respects. Within the five years preceding the date hereof, such Grantor has not changed its legal name, location (as defined in the UCC), chief executive

office, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number, if any, from those set forth in Schedule VIII hereto except as set forth in Schedule IX hereto.

(b) Such Grantor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral granted or purported to be granted by it free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest created under this Agreement or otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral or listing such Grantor as debtor is on file in any relevant recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent relating to the Loan Documents or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(c) All of the Equipment and Inventory (other than Equipment and Inventory that is (i) located at customer or supplier locations in the normal course of business or (ii) in transit or out for repair or further process) of such Grantor are located at the places specified therefor in Schedule X hereto or at another location as to which such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 10(a) or otherwise have an aggregate book value of no more than $10,000,000.

(d) None of the Receivables or Agreement Collateral is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument in excess of (i) $5,000,000 individually and (ii) $10,000,000 in the aggregate, that has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(e) If such Grantor is an issuer of Security Collateral, such Grantor confirms that it has received notice of the security interest granted hereunder.

(f) The Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor hereunder has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent such term is applicable). The Pledged Debt pledged by such Grantor hereunder has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuers thereof, is not in default and, to the extent applicable, is evidenced by one or more promissory notes (which promissory notes have been delivered to the Collateral Agent).

(g) The Initial Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor constitutes the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule I hereto. The Initial Pledged Debt constitutes all of the outstanding indebtedness in excess of (i) $2,500,000 individually and (ii) $5,000,000 in the aggregate, owed to such Grantor by the issuers thereof and is outstanding in the principal amount indicated on Schedule I hereto.

(h) Such Grantor has no material investment property, other than the material investment property listed on Schedule I hereto and additional investment property as to which such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 4.

(i) The Assigned Agreements to which such Grantor is a party, true and complete copies of which (other than the Secured Hedge Agreements) have been furnished to the Collateral Agent, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, have not been amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, other than in accordance with their terms, are in full force and effect and are binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with their terms. There exists no material default under any Assigned Agreement to which such Grantor is a party by any party thereto.

(i) Except as either individually or in the aggregate could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and to the knowledge of each Grantor, the operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted and the use of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral (as defined below) in connection therewith do not infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party.

(c) Except when failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions that it determines are

necessary in accordance with the exercise of its business discretion to preserve and protect each item of its Material Intellectual Property Collateral.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral if and to the extent such After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property meets the definition of Material Intellectual Property Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Promptly following the delivery of each Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, as set forth in Section 6.14(b) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall provide written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying the After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property consisting of patents, patent applications, trademark registrations, trademark applications, copyright registrations, and copyright applications that is Material Intellectual Property Collateral acquired during such fiscal year, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an “IP Domestic Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property that constitutes Material Intellectual Property Collateral, which IP Domestic Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Material Intellectual Property.

SECTION 14. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has not given notice to the Borrower:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof or on the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the ability of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

SECTION 21. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty (other than as imposed by law, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

SECTION 22. Remedies. Subject to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. 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 constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated 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. Each Grantor

recognizes that in light of such applicable restrictions and limitations arising under Federal and state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Equity, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Equity at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.

(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 23) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

(e) The Collateral Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or issuer party to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement, Commodity Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (or similar term) as defined in and under such Agreement.

(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(g) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 22, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will, at its own reasonable expense, do or cause to be done all such other commercially reasonable acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be subject to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 23. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each Representative Party (as defined below) of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Representative Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by any Grantor against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement, if such Grantor has obtained a final judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 23(a), “Representative Parties” means, as to any Person, (i) such Person’s officers, directors and employees and (ii) such Person’s Affiliates, agents, advisers and other representatives, in each case to the extent acting at the direction of such Person.

(b) Each Grantor will within 30 days of written demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iii) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

SECTION 24. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail, when delivered. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

SECTION 26. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (c), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 27. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Collateral Agent when and as required under Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than (x) obligations with respect to Secured Hedge Agreements, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable under the Loan Documents), (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) the Maturity Date for the Term Loan Facility and (iv) the cash collateralization, back-stop (on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent), termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

SECTION 28. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
