7

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law: (i) except as expressly provided otherwise in any Financing Document, all notices to such Grantor, or to any other Person, including but not limited to, notices of the acceptance of this Agreement, the guarantee contained in the Guaranty or the provision of collateral security provided herein, or the creation, renewal, extension, modification, accrual of any Obligations, or notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in the Guaranty or upon the collateral security provided herein, or of default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto; or notice of any other matters relating thereto; the 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 the Guaranty and the collateral security provided herein and no notice of creation of the Obligations already or hereafter contracted by the Borrower need be given to any Grantor; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in the Guaranty and on the collateral security provided herein; (ii) diligence and demand of payment, presentment, protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor; (iii) all rights of revocation with respect to the Obligations, the guarantee contained in the Guaranty and the provision of collateral security herein; and (iv) all principles or provisions of law which conflict with the terms of this Agreement and which can, as a matter of law, be waived.

(c)                                  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, join or make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue or exhaust such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor.

Section 3.02                             No Subrogation, Contribution or Reimbursement.  Notwithstanding any payment made by any Grantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Grantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Grantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Grantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any indemnity, exoneration, participation,

8

contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of payments made by such Grantor hereunder until Security Termination, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives, releases, and agrees not to exercise any such rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution until Security Termination.  Each Grantor further agrees that to the extent that such waiver and release set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution such Grantor may have against the Borrower, any other Grantor or against any collateral or security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may have against the Borrower and such Grantor and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may have in any collateral or security or guarantee or right of offset.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may use, sell or dispose of any item of Collateral or security as it sees fit, subject to Section 6.04, without regard to any subrogation rights any Grantor may have, and upon any disposition or sale, any rights of subrogation any Grantor may have shall terminate.

ARTICLE IV
Representations and Warranties

To induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party that:

Section 4.01                             Representations in Credit Agreement.  In the case of each Grantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Grantor or to the Financing Documents to which such Grantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, on and as of such earlier date); provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.01, be deemed to be a reference to such Grantor’s knowledge.

Section 4.02                             Perfected Liens.  The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in the appropriate filing office listed on Schedule 3, will constitute valid perfected second priority security interests (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent permitted under the Credit Agreement) in all of the Collateral which may be perfected by filing such financing statement in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor.

Section 4.03                             Legal Name, Organizational Status, Chief Executive Office.  On the date hereof, the correct legal name of such Grantor, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, organizational number, taxpayer identification number and the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business are specified on Schedule 4.

9

Section 4.07                             Accounts.  The amount represented by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time as owing by each Account Debtor or by all Account Debtors in respect of the Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles will at such time be the materially correct amount actually owing by such Account Debtor or Account Debtors thereunder.  The place where each Grantor keeps its records concerning the Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles is the address set forth on Schedule 6.

Section 4.08                             Governmental Obligors.  None of the Account Debtors on such Grantor’s Accounts, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangibles is a Governmental Authority.

Section 4.09                             Commercial Tort Claims.  On the Closing Date, except to the extent listed on Schedule 7, no Grantor has knowledge of rights in any Commercial Tort Claim with potential value in excess of $1,500,000.

Section 4.10                             Intellectual Property.

(a)                                 Schedule 9 sets forth as of the Closing Date a true and complete list of all Material Intellectual Property which is registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office or is the subject of an application for registration, separately identifying that owned and licensed to such Grantor and including (1) the owner, (2) the title, (3) the jurisdiction in which such item has been registered or otherwise arises or in which an application for registration has been filed, (4) as applicable, the registration or application number and registration or application date and (5) any IP Licenses or other rights (including franchises) granted by the Grantor with respect thereto.

(b)                                 On the Closing Date, all Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid, in full force and effect, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, and no Material Intellectual Property has been abandoned.  No breach or default of any material IP License shall be caused by any of the following, and none of the following shall limit or impair the ownership, use,

10

validity or enforceability of, or any rights of such Grantor in, any Material Intellectual Property: (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Financing Document or (ii) any holding, decision, judgment or order rendered by any Governmental Authority.  There are no pending (or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened) actions, investigations, suits, proceedings, audits, claims, demands, orders or disputes challenging the ownership, use, validity, enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property of such Grantor.  To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Material Intellectual Property of such Grantor.  Such Grantor, and to such Grantor’s knowledge each other party thereto, is not in material breach or default of any material IP License.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.02                             Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

12

ARTICLE VI
Remedial Provisions

Section 6.01                             [Reserved].

Section 6.02                             Collections on Accounts, Etc.  The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect upon the Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles and the Administrative Agent may (in consultation with the Lead Lenders) curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Lead Lenders), at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify the Account Debtors that the applicable Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with the Account Debtors to verify with them to its satisfaction (as determined in consultation with the Lead Lenders) the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangibles.

Section 6.03                             Proceeds.  If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles, when collected or received by each Grantor, and any other cash or non-cash Proceeds received by each Grantor upon the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a special collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties only, as hereinafter provided, and, until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of any such Grantor. Each deposit of any such Proceeds shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.  All Proceeds (including, without limitation, Proceeds constituting collections of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments) while held by the Administrative Agent (or by any Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the

15

Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.  At such intervals as may be agreed upon by each Grantor and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Lead Lenders’ election, the Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in said special collateral account on account of the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.04          Remedies.

(a)           If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, and at the direction of the Lead Lenders shall, exercise, in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges granted to them in this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of a secured party under applicable law or otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders, 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), 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 the Administrative Agent or any other 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.  The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders), to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Lead Lenders shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  Any such sale or transfer by the Administrative Agent either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by Grantor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Grantor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.  Upon any such sale or transfer, the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.04, 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 Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, will the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by

16

applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Parties or their respective agents (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

(b)           In the event that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders elects not to sell the Collateral, the Administrative Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Obligations.  Each and every method of disposition of the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral.

Section 6.05          [Reserved].

Section 6.06          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 and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.07          Non-Judicial Enforcement.  The Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.  The proceeds of any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof and all other monies received by any Secured Party in any proceedings for the enforcement hereof or otherwise, whose application has not elsewhere herein been specifically provided for, shall be applied in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Administrative Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral, second, to all fees, costs, indemnities and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral, third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding, and fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents.

Section 6.08          IP Licenses.  For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article VI (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual

17

Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

ARTICLE VII
The Administrative Agent

Section 7.01          Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.

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

(i)            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;

(ii)           execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.04, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(iii)          (A) 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 Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders shall direct; (B) take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral, and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders for the purpose of collecting any all such moneys due under any Account, Instrument or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (C) 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; (D) 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; (E) receive, change the address for delivery, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor, and to execute, assign and indorse negotiable and other instruments for the payment of money, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage for any form of Collateral on behalf of and in the name of any Grantor; (F) 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

18

Collateral; (G) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (H) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders may deem appropriate; (I) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option, at the direction of the Lead Lenders, and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do, (J) in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to such Grantor, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that Administrative Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby and (K) assign any Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor or any IP Licenses of such Grantor throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such a manner as Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with the Lead Lenders), including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate and record such assignment.

Anything in this Section 7.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.01(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 within the applicable grace periods, the Lead Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent, at their option, but without any obligation so to do, to perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c)           The reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.01, together with interest thereon at the highest rate provided in the Credit Agreement, but in no event to exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d)           Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue and in compliance 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.

Section 7.02          Duty of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party

19

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 Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  The Administrative Agent and the other 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 (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Grantor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.  Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against any Grantor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against each Grantor, any Grantor or other Person.

Section 7.03          Financing Statements.  Pursuant to the UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto 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 Lead Lenders reasonably determine necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Additionally, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record such financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the Grantor” or words of similar effect.  A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

Section 7.04          Authority of Administrative Agent.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured

20

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.

ARTICLE VIII
Subordination of Indebtedness

Section 8.01          Subordination of All Grantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Grantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of any Grantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Grantor Claims.

Section 8.02          Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving any Grantor, (a) the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Grantor Claims and (b) each Grantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application against the Obligations. Should the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party receive, for application upon the Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Grantor Claims, then upon Security Termination, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on the Grantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Grantor Claims.

Section 8.03          Payments Held in Trust.  In the event that notwithstanding Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, any Grantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions that are prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04          Liens Subordinate.  Each Grantor agrees that, until Security Termination, any Liens securing payment of the Grantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party presently exist or are

21

hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Grantor, during the period prior to Security Termination, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Grantor Claims, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it.

Section 8.05          Notation of Records.  Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Grantor Claims accepted by or held by any Grantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.01          Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any of the Financing Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Financing Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.  The exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies, including, without limitation, any rights of set-off.

Section 9.02          Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given in the manner and subject to the terms of Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

Section 9.03          Payment of Expenses, Indemnities, Etc.

(a)           Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder and indemnification as provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)           Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Financing Documents.  The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

Section 9.06          Invalidity.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any of the Financing Documents to which a Grantor is a party shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or such other Financing Document.

Section 9.07          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Section 9.17                             Intercreditor Agreements.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (and its permitted successors), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below, pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2015, (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), from the Borrower and the other “Obligors” referred to therein, in favor of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties referred to therein and other First Lien Collateral Documents (as defined in the First/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and to the liens and security interests granted to any Other First Priority Lien Obligations Agent (as defined in the First/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to any Other First Priority Lien Obligations Security Document (as defined in the First/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the First/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
