Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Credit Facility Obligations.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Credit Facility Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Credit Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Credit Facility Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Credit Facility Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Credit Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Credit Facility Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Credit Facility Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Credit Facility Obligations), remain liable for the Credit Facility Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Credit Facility Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

offset held by any Secured Credit Party for the payment of the Credit Facility Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Secured Credit Parties by the Borrower on account of the Credit Facility Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Credit Facility Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Secured Credit Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Credit Facility Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Collateral Agent may determine in accordance with Section 6.5.

2.4. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Credit Facility Obligations.

No Secured Credit Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Credit Facility Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Credit Facility Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Credit Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Credit Facility Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Credit Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facility Obligations.

Each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Collateral Agent, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:

(p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

-12-

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental Authority, requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case of any Investment Property, Pledged Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law.

3.2. Acknowledgement of Liens; Pari Passu Basis. Each Secured Party hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Agent, acting for and on behalf of the other Secured Parties, (a) has been granted a Lien upon the Collateral and (b) holds the Collateral as agent under this Agreement and the other Security Agreements for the equal and ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as provided herein.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to each Secured Party that:

4.1. Title; No Other Liens.

No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property. Each Secured Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Collateral Agent to utilize, sell, Lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

-13-

The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement create a valid security interest, and upon the filing of the appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 4, a perfected security interest, in all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations with respect to which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement.

No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3. Pledged Stock.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent not prohibited in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter solely exercise (1) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (2) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction

-23-

received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (1) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent.

6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order (it being understood that any application of such Proceeds constituting Collateral by the Collateral Agent towards the payment of the Obligations shall be made in the following order):

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and any other Security Agreement;

Second, to pay pro rata (i) incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents and (ii) incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustees under the Indentures;

Third, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties in proportion to the outstanding Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Commitments shall have terminated and, except as otherwise agreed by the affected Qualified Counterparties pursuant to the applicable Specified Hedge Agreements, any Specified Hedge Agreement shall have been terminated, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For

-24-

purposes of this Section, to the extent that any Obligation is unmatured, unliquidated or contingent (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) at the time any distribution is to be made pursuant to clause Third above, the Collateral Agent shall allocate a portion of the amount to be distributed pursuant to such clause for the benefit of the Secured Parties holding such Obligations and shall hold such amounts for the benefit of such Secured Parties until such time as such Obligations become matured, liquidated and/or payable at which time such amounts shall be distributed to the holders of such Obligations to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full (with any excess to be distributed in accordance with this Section as if distributed at such time). In making determinations and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information provided to it by the holder of the relevant Obligations (which, in the case of the immediately preceding sentence shall be a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Obligations) and shall not be required to, or be responsible for, ascertaining the existence of or amount of any Obligations.

6.6. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by any Requirement of Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk; provided, that the Collateral Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sales, which, based on commercially reasonably judgment, it shall deem inadequate. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places designated by the Collateral Agent that are reasonably convenient to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral

-25-

Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall give each Grantor not less than 10 days’ prior notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Any such notice shall (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (iii) contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC, (iv) be authenticated and (v) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of the UCC; 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. The Collateral Agent and each Grantor agree that such notice constitutes reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.

6.7. Registration Rights.

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

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

-26-

to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

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

6.9. Default Notice.

(a) If the Collateral Agent at any time receives a Default Notice, the Collateral Agent will promptly provide a copy of such Default Notice to each of the Administrative Agent, the 2009 Indenture Trustee and the 2033 Indenture Trustee. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent may (and at the written request of Required Debtholders shall) exercise and enforce the Collateral Agent’s interest, rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or applicable law. Unless it has been directed to the contrary by Required Debtholders, the Collateral Agent in any event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking any such action with respect to an Event of Default as it may deem reasonably advisable and in the best interest of the Secured Parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Event of Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until it receives a Default Notice.

(c) In connection with any vote of Required Debtholders under this Agreement, the votes of each Secured Party entitled to vote thereon shall be cast in the manner provided by the terms of the corresponding Loan Documents or Indenture Documents, as applicable. Each Secured Party entitled to vote shall have the number of votes equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Total Indebtedness held by such Secured Party, as applicable.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. to act as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Security Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any Security Agreement,

-27-

together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any Security Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Secured Party; (b) shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the Security Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under this Agreement or any Security Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Security Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Grantor or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Security Agreement or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, delegate any of its rights and powers under any Security Agreement with respect to Collateral located outside the United States to an affiliate of the Collateral Agent having offices outside the United States.

7.2. Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, without inquiry or investigation and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Administrative Agent, the 2009 Indenture Trustee or the 2033 Indenture Trustee, and such instructions of the Administrative Agent, the 2009 Indenture Trustee or the 2033 Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Secured Parties.

7.3. Indemnification. The Secured Credit Parties agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Grantors) ratably, in accordance with their pro rata share, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent (including by any Secured Credit Party) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the reasonable costs and expenses that the Collateral Agent is obligated to pay) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, that, no Secured Credit Party shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

-28-

7.4. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that it has independently and without reliance on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the other Grantors and has made its own decision to enter into its Financing Agreements and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under its Financing Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Grantor of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Grantor. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Grantor that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent.

7.5. Failure to Act. Except for any action expressly required of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and under any Security Agreement unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.3 hereof against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

7.6. Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints each other Secured Party as agent for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral, which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect can be perfected only by possession. Should any Secured Party obtain possession of any Collateral, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

7.7. Resignation. Upon prior written notice to each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the 2009 Indenture Trustee and the 2033 Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time. In the event of any such resignation, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor agent reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent, the 2009 Indenture Trustee and the 2033 Indenture Trustee (and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, the successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall have no further duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 7 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent.

7.8. Concerning the Collateral and the Security Agreements.

(a) Each Secured Party ratifies and confirms the Collateral Agent entering into this Agreement and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into such additional Security Agreements as the Collateral Agent may determine to enter into from time to time. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the

-29-

terms of this Agreement or any other Security Agreements relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Grantor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement), or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Security Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent, subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Secured Party, except for any liability to a Secured Party as a result of any action by the Collateral Agent that is determined to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.9. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

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

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

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

-30-

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

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s reasonable expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.9(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.9(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

-31-

(c) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.9, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

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

7.10. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.11. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

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

-32-

8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
