WHEREAS, pursuant to the Indenture, the Grantors are permitted to incur Additional Second Lien Debt constituting Additional Second Lien Obligations;

WHEREAS, each Grantor has executed and delivered that certain Security Agreement dated as of July 23, 2012 made by the Grantors, certain other parties and the Collateral Agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”);

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this IP Security Agreement for recording with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and, to the extent agreed upon and applicable, other foreign governmental authorities; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”):

(A) the patents and patent applications set forth in Schedule A hereto (the “Patents”);

(B) the trademark and service mark registrations and applications set forth in Schedule B hereto (provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law), together with the goodwill symbolized thereby (the “Trademarks”);

(C) all copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the copyright registrations and applications set forth in Schedule C hereto (the “Copyrights”);

(D) all reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals and reexaminations of any of the foregoing, and, to the extent applicable, all rights in the foregoing provided by international treaties or conventions, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all other rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing thereunder or pertaining thereto;

(E) any and all claims for damages and injunctive relief for past, present and future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover, such damages; and

(F) any and all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and supporting obligations relating to, any and all of the Collateral of or arising from any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in, the Collateral by each Grantor under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all Secured Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Second Lien Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this IP Security Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Second Lien Documents but for the fact that such Secured Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Grantor.

SECTION 3. Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents and the Commissioner for Trademarks and, to the extent agreed upon and applicable, any other applicable government office, record this IP Security Agreement.

Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 6. Governing Law. This IP Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 7. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, (I) THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY SUBJECT AND SUBORDINATE TO THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT) AND (II) THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREUNDER IS SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
