(b) Schedule 1 lists all Equity Interests in Subsidiaries and Affiliates owned by such Lien Grantor as of the Issue Date. Such Lien Grantor holds all such Equity Interests directly (i.e., not through a Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary or any other Person).

(c) Schedule 2 lists, as of the Issue Date, (i) all Securities owned by such Lien Grantor (except Securities evidencing Equity Interests in Subsidiaries and Affiliates) and (ii) all Securities Accounts to which Financial Assets are credited in respect of which such Lien Grantor owns Security Entitlements. Such Lien Grantor owns no Commodity Account in respect of which such Lien Grantor is the Commodity Customer.

(d) All Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Lien Grantor are owned by it free and clear of any Lien other than (i) the Transaction Liens and (ii) any other Permitted Liens. All shares of capital stock included in such Pledged Equity Interests (including shares of capital stock in respect of which such Lien Grantor owns a Security Entitlement) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Pledged Equity Interests is subject to any option to purchase or similar right of any Person.

(e) Such Lien Grantor has good and marketable title to all its Collateral (subject to exceptions that are, in the aggregate, not material), free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens.

(f) Such Lien Grantor has not performed any acts that might prevent the Collateral Agent from enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit the Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Liens. After the Issue Date, no Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor will be in the possession or under the Control of any other Person having a claim thereto or security interest therein, other than a Permitted Lien.

(g) The Transaction Liens on all Personal Property Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor (i) have been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Issue Date (or, if such Lien Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii) when so attached, will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Lien Grantor’s Note Guarantee, as the case may be.

(h) When the relevant Mortgages have been duly executed and delivered, the Transaction Liens on all Real Property Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor as of the Issue Date will have been validly created and will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Lien Grantor’s Note Guarantee, as the case may be. When such Mortgages (and memoranda of lease with respect to any leasehold interests included in such Real Property Collateral) have been duly recorded, such Transaction Liens will rank prior to all other Liens (except Permitted Liens) on such Real Property Collateral.

(i) Such Lien Grantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate to the Collateral Agent. The information set forth therein is correct and complete as of the Issue Date.

(j) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal property” have been filed in the offices specified in such Perfection Certificate, the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Personal Property Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. When, in addition to the filing of such UCC financing statements, the applicable Intellectual Property Filings have been made with respect to such Lien Grantor’s Recordable

Intellectual Property (including any future filings required pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 6(a)), the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such Lien Grantor in its Recordable Intellectual Property to the extent that security interests therein may be perfected by such filings, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for (i) the filing of such UCC financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual Property Filings, (iii) the due recordation of memoranda of lease with respect to the Pledged leasehold interests and (iv) the due recordation of the Mortgages, no registration, recordation or filing with any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the execution or delivery of the Security Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or for the enforcement of the Transaction Liens.

(k) Such Lien Grantor has taken, and will continue to take, all actions necessary under the UCC to perfect (and maintain the perfection of) its interest in any Accounts or Chattel Paper purchased or otherwise acquired by it, as against its assignors and creditors of its assignors.

(l) Such Lien Grantor’s Collateral is insured as required by the Indenture.

(m) All of such Lien Grantor’s Inventory has or will have been produced in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended.

SECTION 4. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Lien Grantor covenants as follows:

(a) Such Lien Grantor will, from time to time, at the Issuers’ expense, execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing and any filing of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be reasonably necessary, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to:

(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such Lien Grantor’s Collateral;

(ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts and Pledged Investment Property, cause the Collateral Agent to have Control thereof (beginning, in the case of Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, on the date that is 60 days after the Issue Date);

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

(iv) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies with respect to any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lien Grantor authorizes (but does not obligate) the Collateral Agent to execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements without such Lien Grantor’s signature appearing thereon. Such Lien Grantor appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all Intellectual Property Filings and other filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all the Transaction Liens granted by such Lien Grantor terminate pursuant to Section 19. The Issuers will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.

(b) Such Lien Grantor will not (i) change its name or corporate structure, (ii) change its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in UCC Section 9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent at least 30 days prior written notice thereof.

(c) Except for sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, such Lien Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of its Collateral; provided that such Lien Grantor may do any of the foregoing unless (i) doing so would violate a covenant in the Indenture or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited. Concurrently with any sale, lease or other disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Lien Grantor or a lease) permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. The Collateral Agent will, at the Issuers’ expense and upon receipt of a certificate of a Financial Officer of Holdco certifying that such Transaction Lien may be released, execute and deliver to the relevant Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold or disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien.

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

(e) With respect to its ownership interest (whether fee or leasehold) in each real property set forth on Schedule 3, the applicable Lien Grantor shall, not later than the date that is 45 days following the Issue Date, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Mortgage in suitable form for recordation in the applicable state or county office sufficient to perfect the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, fixture filings suitable for filing in the applicable state or county office sufficient to perfect the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) a customary opinion of local counsel to such Lien Grantor with respect to the validity and perfection of such security interests under Dutch law.

(f) Not later than the date that is 90 days after the Issue Date, Holdco shall cause 65% of the membership interests of Tower Automotive Holdings III Cooperatie U.A. to be pledged to the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations pursuant to one or more Dutch law governed share pledges or other collateral documents in form and substance necessary to create and perfect the security interest in such membership interests granted in favor of the Collateral Agent under Dutch law.

(g) Not later than the date that is 90 days after the Issue Date, Holdco shall cause all intercompany receivables owed by any Foreign Subsidiary to any Lien Grantor (as of the date the applicable collateral document is delivered) to be pledged to the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations pursuant to one or more Dutch law governed receivables pledges or other collateral documents in form and substance necessary to create and perfect the security interest in such intercompany receivables granted in favor of the Collateral Agent under Dutch law.

(h) At the time of delivery of each Security Document required by Section 4(f) or 4(g), Holdco shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent a customary opinion of Dutch counsel with respect to the validity and perfection of the applicable security interest under Dutch law.

SECTION 5. Equipment. Each Lien Grantor covenants that it will not permit any of its Pledged Equipment to become a fixture to real estate or an accession to any personal property that is not included in the Collateral.

SECTION 6. Recordable Intellectual Property. Each Lien Grantor covenants as follows:

Within 30 days after each June 30 and December 31 thereafter, it will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreement covering any Recordable Intellectual Property owned by it on such June 30 or December 31 that is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it. Each Lien Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to make all Intellectual Property Filings necessary to record the Transaction Liens on its Recordable Intellectual Property.

(b) Such Lien Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent in writing promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any Recordable Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it that is material to its business may become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any adverse determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding such Lien Grantor’s ownership of such Recordable Intellectual Property, its right to register or patent the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. If any of such Lien Grantor’s rights to any Recordable Intellectual Property are infringed, misappropriated or diluted in any material respect by a third party, such Lien Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent in writing within 30 days after it learns thereof and will, unless such Lien Grantor shall reasonably determine that such action would be of negligible value, economic or otherwise, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Recordable Intellectual Property.

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

(a) Certificated Securities. On the Issue Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will deliver to the Applicable Agent as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities then owned by such Lien Grantor.

Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other Security Entitlement, such Lien Grantor will, as promptly as practicable, cause the underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (c), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lien Grantors have the right not to comply therewith with respect to Securities Accounts having an aggregate value of less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Lien Grantors.

(d) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Lien Grantor delivers the certificate representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Applicable Agent and complies with Section 7(h) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except Permitted Liens), (ii) the Applicable Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the Applicable Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

(f) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any Security Entitlement owned by such Lien Grantor is credited to a Controlled Securities Account, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are Permitted Liens and any other Liens consented to by the Collateral Agent, and other Permitted Liens), (ii) the Applicable Agent will have Control of such Security Entitlement and (iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such Financial Asset, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be asserted against the Applicable Agent or any other Secured Party.

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

(h) Delivery of Pledged Certificates.

Each Lien Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any material notices and communications received by it with respect to (i) Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Lien Grantor or its nominee and (ii) Pledged Security Entitlements as to which such Lien Grantor is the Entitlement Holder.

(j) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Lien Grantor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is excluded from the Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso at the end of Section 2(a) and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Security Agreement Supplements.

(k) Compliance with Applicable Foreign Laws. If and so long as the Collateral includes (i) any Equity Interest in, or other Investment Property issued by, a legal entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or (ii) any Security Entitlement in respect of a Financial Asset issued by such a foreign legal entity, the relevant Lien Grantor will take all such action as may be required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction to ensure that the Transaction Lien on such Collateral ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein.

SECTION 8. Controlled Deposit Accounts. Each Lien Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Beginning on or prior to the date that is 60 days after the Issue Date, all cash owned by such Lien Grantor will be deposited, upon or promptly after the receipt thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit Accounts. Each Controlled Deposit Account will be operated as provided in Section 10.

(b) In respect of each Controlled Deposit Account, the Depositary Bank’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-304) will at all times be a jurisdiction in which Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect.

(c) So long as the Applicable Agent has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct its normal operating charges and any uncollected funds previously credited thereto and any other Liens consented to by the Collateral Agent, and Permitted Liens).

(d) Materiality Exception. The Lien Grantors have the right not to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section with respect to (i) Deposit Accounts that are payroll or trust accounts and (ii) other Deposit Accounts having total collected balances that do not at any time exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate for all Lien Grantors.

SECTION 9. Cash Collateral Accounts. (a) The Lien Grantors will establish the following Deposit Accounts (each such Deposit Account, a “Cash Collateral Account”), which will be operated as provided in this Section and Section 10:

(i) at or prior to the time such account shall be required in accordance with Section 9(b)(i), the Collection Account, which shall be under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent (or, if so instructed by

the Authorized Term Collateral Agent, the Authorized Term Collateral Agent); and

(ii) at or prior to the time such account shall be required in accordance with Section 9(b)(ii), the Term Proceeds Account, which shall be under the control of the Collateral Agent (or the ABL Agent (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement));

(b) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Accounts:

(i) the Collateral Agent shall deposit to the Collection Account each amount realized or otherwise received with respect to assets of any Lien Grantor upon any exercise of remedies pursuant to any Security Document; and

(ii) the Lien Grantors shall cause all principal payments made to them on the Foreign Intercompany Receivables Collateral to be deposited to the Term Proceeds Account.

(c) The applicable Lien Grantor shall maintain such records, which it shall provide to the Collateral Agent, and/or establish such sub-accounts as shall be required to enable it to identify the amounts held in the Collection Account from time to time pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section.

(d) The Lien Grantors shall not permit to be deposited to the Term Proceeds Account any amounts that do not constitute Term Priority Collateral.

(e) Unless an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Lien Grantors shall have the right to withdraw funds held in the Term Proceeds Account for their general corporate (or limited liability company) purposes.

(f) Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall be continuing, amounts held in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Term Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 10. Operation of Collateral Accounts. (a) Funds held in any Cash Collateral Account may, until withdrawn, be invested and reinvested in such investments as the Issuers shall request from time to time in writing; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent (in the case of the Collection Account) or the Applicable Agent (in the case of all other Cash Collateral Accounts) may (but shall not be obligated to) select such investments (it being understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing, funds held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments

(as defined in the Indenture)). Funds held in any other Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account may, until withdrawn, be invested and reinvested in such investments as the Issuers shall request from time to time; provided that (i) prior to the ABL Termination Date, if a Liquidity Trigger Period shall be continuing or (ii) at all other times, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) select such investments. Any investment income received on the Cash Collateral Accounts will be deposited into and become part of the Cash Collateral Accounts.

(b) With respect to each Controlled Deposit Account and each Controlled Securities Account (it being understood that the provisions of Section 9 shall apply to all Cash Collateral Accounts), the relevant Lien Grantor may withdraw, or direct the disposition of, funds held therein unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Applicable Agent shall have delivered a notice of exclusive control in accordance with the applicable account control agreement.

(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent (with respect to the Collection Account) and the Applicable Agent (with respect to any other Collateral Account) may retain or liquidate, or instruct the relevant Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank to retain or liquidate, any or all cash or investments then held in such Collateral Account and/or withdraw any amounts held therein and apply such amounts as provided in Section 14.

SECTION 11. Transfer Of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent may (and to the extent that action by it is required, the relevant Lien Grantor, if directed to do so by the Applicable Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee. Each Lien Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Applicable Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 7(b) shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee. The Applicable Agent will promptly give to the relevant Lien Grantor copies of any notices and other communications received by the Applicable Agent with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee.

SECTION 12. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lien Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to

any Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security Entitlement owned by it, and the Collateral Agent will, upon receiving a written request from such Lien Grantor, deliver to such Lien Grantor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee or any such Pledged Security Entitlement as to which the Collateral Agent or its nominee is the Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in such request. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to take with respect thereto, except the right to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein.

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

SECTION 13. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to the Term Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such sub-agents) under the Security Documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms of (i) the Term Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the Collateral Agent (with respect to the Collection Account) and the Applicable Agent (with respect to any other Collateral Account) may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, withdraw all cash held in such Collateral Account and apply such cash as provided in Section 14 and, if there shall be no such cash or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in full, sell, lease, license or

otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof. Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Lien Grantor(s) as required by Section 16. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall apply to Real Property Collateral only to the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of any applicable Mortgage or other document.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the terms of (i) the Term Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) the Collateral Agent may license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Pledged intellectual property (including any Pledged Recordable Intellectual Property) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Holders shall in their sole discretion determine and direct the Collateral Agent; provided that such licenses or sublicenses do not conflict with any existing license of which the Collateral Agent shall have received a copy;

(ii) the Collateral Agent may (without assuming any obligation or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, as directed by the Holders, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of any Lien Grantor in, to and under any of its Pledged intellectual property and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and each Lien Grantor releases the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party from liability for, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party free and harmless from and against any claims and expenses arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto, except for claims and expenses arising from the Collateral Agent’s or such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision; and

(iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent (which shall not be construed as implying any limitation on its rights or powers), each Lien Grantor will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance satisfactory to appoint the Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact, for the implementation of any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of such Lien Grantor’s Pledged intellectual property or any action related thereto. In connection with any such disposition, but subject to any confidentiality restrictions imposed on such Lien Grantor in any license or similar agreement, such Lien Grantor

will supply to the Collateral Agent its know-how and expertise relating to the relevant intellectual property or the products or services made or rendered in connection with such intellectual property, and its customer lists and other records relating to such intellectual property and to the distribution of said products or services.

SECTION 14. Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) any cash held in the Collection Account and (ii) subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, any amounts held in any other Collateral Account and the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Term Intercreditor Agreement, provided that (i) Collateral owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses only to the extent that the value thereof does not exceed the largest amount that would not render the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law. The Collateral Agent may make such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

(b) If at any time any portion of any monies collected or received by the Collateral Agent would, but for the provisions of this Section 14(b), be payable pursuant to Section 14(a) in respect of a Contingent Secured Obligation, the Collateral Agent shall not apply any monies to pay such Contingent Secured Obligation but instead shall request the holder thereof, at least 10 days before each proposed distribution hereunder, to notify the Collateral Agent in writing as to the maximum amount of such Contingent Secured Obligation if then ascertainable. If the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation does not notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the maximum ascertainable amount thereof at least two Business Days before such distribution, such holder will not be entitled to share in such distribution. If such holder does so notify the Collateral Agent in writing as to the maximum ascertainable amount thereof, the Collateral Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of the monies to be distributed in such distribution, calculated as if such Contingent Secured Obligation were outstanding in such maximum ascertainable amount. However, the Collateral Agent will not apply such portion of such monies to pay such Contingent Secured Obligation, but instead will hold such monies. All such monies and all proceeds thereof will constitute Collateral hereunder, but will be subject to distribution in accordance with this Section 14(b) rather than Section 14(a). The Collateral Agent will hold all such monies and the net proceeds thereof in trust until all or part of such Contingent Secured Obligation becomes a Non-Contingent Secured Obligation, whereupon the Collateral Agent at the request of the relevant Secured Party will apply the amount so held in trust to pay such Non-Contingent Secured Obligation.

If (i) the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation shall advise the Collateral Agent that no portion thereof remains in the category of a Contingent Secured Obligation and (ii) the Collateral Agent still holds any amount held in trust pursuant to this Section 14(b) in respect of such Contingent Secured Obligation (after paying all amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to any portions thereof that became Non-Contingent Secured Obligations), such remaining amount will be applied by the Collateral Agent in the order of priorities set forth in Section 14(a).

(c) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section 18(c). All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any amount distributed to it.

SECTION 15. Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, will forthwith upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent:

(i) the amount of any taxes that the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent may have been required to pay by reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon;

(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including transfer taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, professional advisors and other experts, that the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (x) the administration or enforcement of the Security Documents, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Transaction Lien, (y) the collection, sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (z) the exercise by the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent of any of its rights or powers under the Security Documents;

(iii) the amount of any fees that the Issuers shall have agreed in writing to pay to the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent and that shall have become due and payable in accordance with such written agreement; and

(iv) the amount required to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent and their directors, officers, agents, counsel and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) for, or hold them

harmless and defend them against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel, professional advisors and any experts or sub-agents appointed by them hereunder) incurred or suffered by the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with the Security Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the Collateral Agent’s or the Authorized Term Collateral Agent’s (as the case may be) gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty that the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Term Collateral Agent (as the case may be) has under this Agreement (after giving effect to Sections 17 and 18), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

Any such amount not paid to the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Term Collateral Agent on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to the Secured Notes for such day.

(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any transfer or other transaction provided for in the Security Documents, the Issuers will pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Collateral Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent or as otherwise required by law.

SECTION 16. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Lien Grantor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Lien Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the Issuers’ expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral:

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

(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,

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

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

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

SECTION 17. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

SECTION 18. General Provisions Concerning the Collateral Agent.

(a) The provisions of Section 10.04 of the Indenture shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and shall be binding upon all Lien Grantors and all Secured Parties, in connection with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents that the Collateral Agent is required in writing to exercise by the required percentage of Holders of the Secured Notes as provided for in the Indenture and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Group Member that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection,

continuation, priority or enforceability of any Transaction Lien, including without limitation the filing, form, content or renewal of UCC financing statements, Mortgages or similar documents or instruments, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Collateral Agent by a Lien Grantor or a Secured Party.

(b) Sub- Agents and Related Parties. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents appointed by it and shall not be responsible for the negligence of such sub-agents appointed with reasonable care. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 17 and this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.

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

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

(e) Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Term Intercreditor Agreement and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent will turn over to the relevant Lien Grantor any proceeds of any casualty or liability insurance maintained by the Lien Grantors and as to which the Collateral Agent has been named as an additional insured or loss payee,

such funds to be used by the Lien Grantors in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

SECTION 19. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to the Term Intercreditor Agreement, the Transaction Liens on the Collateral of a Lien Grantor shall terminate and shall be released:

(ix) with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral of any Lien Grantor, in the circumstances set forth in Section 2.04(a) or 2.04(b) of the Term Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Transaction Liens shall terminate in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 19(a); provided, that if at any time any payment of a Secured Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of either Issuers or otherwise, the Transaction Liens shall be reinstated automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person (and the Lien Grantors shall take all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to evidence such reinstatement).

(c) If after the release of any Collateral in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 19(a) the Reversion Date shall occur, the Transaction Liens on such Collateral shall be reinstated automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person (and the applicable Lien Grantors shall take all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to evidence such reinstatement).

(d) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Lien Grantor and upon receipt of a certificate of a Financial Officer of Holdco certifying that such Transaction Lien may be terminated or such Collateral may be released in accordance herewith, execute and deliver to such Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

SECTION 20. Additional Lien Grantors. Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Lien Grantor” as defined herein.

SECTION 21. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party hereunder shall be given or made in accordance with Section 12.03 of the Indenture.

SECTION 22. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or remedy under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy under any Secured Notes Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Secured Notes Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred in a transaction permitted under the Indenture, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such obligation. This Agreement shall be binding on the Lien Grantors and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 24. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent, with the consent of such Holders as are required to consent thereto under Article 9 of the Indenture.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 27. Severability. Any provision of any Security Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
