Property and (C)‎ delivery to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of Instruments, notes and debt securities and certificated Capital Stock to the extent required by Section ‎5.2, (ii) to enter into any deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement, commodity account control agreement or any other control agreement with respect to any deposit account, securities account or commodity account (other than as set forth pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), (iii) to take any action (other than as provided in the Canadian Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) under non-U.S. law or with respect to any assets located outside of the United States, (iv) to perfect in any letter-of credit rights or any motor vehicles or other assets subject to a certificate of title (except filings listed in ‎Section 3(b)(i)(A) above) (to the extent such perfection can be achieved through such filings) or (v) to deliver any landlord lien waivers, estoppels bailee waivers, collateral access agreements or similar agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Grantor shall remain liable for all of its obligations under the Collateral and nothing contained herein is intended or shall be a delegation of duties to any Secured Party, (ii) each Grantor shall remain liable under and each of its agreements included in the Collateral, to perform all of its obligations undertaken by it thereunder all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any of such agreements by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or any other document related thereto nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party have any obligation to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or have any obligation to take any action to collect or enforce any rights under any agreement included in the Collateral and (iii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as regards each applicable Grantor who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Grantor owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to or shall constitute the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any person other than a Grantor to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Grantor and all further steps are taken so as to register the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 3(a) or in any other Loan Document does not make the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor

Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) a successor to any Grantor as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any other Loan Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Grantor would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any other Loan Document would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any other Loan Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to: (a) be registered as a member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e)

act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

At such time as the ABL Administrative Borrower provides the Collateral Agent with notice of any newly acquired, created or developed Registered Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall execute an After-Acquired Intellectual Property Security Agreement

with respect to any Registered Intellectual Property included in the After-Acquired Intellectual Property Collateral in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit (without regard to control of remedies or application of payments) of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

SECTION 6 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, curtail or terminate said authority at any time upon written notice to the applicable Grantor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, if required by the Collateral Agent in a written notice to such Grantor at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if reasonably requested in writing by the Collateral Agent, each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable written request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and

transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) The Collateral Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing require any Grantor to notify the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable of the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to notify the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the Receivables directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) 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), 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 to at any time or times.

6.3. Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given written 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 dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid or made in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other ownership rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the value of the assets included in the Collateral or which would violate any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall have given written notice to the ABL Administrative Borrower of the Collateral Agent’s (or the Term Collateral Agent’s (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement)

pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) intent to execute its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(b): (i) the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid in respect to the Pledged Securities included in the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof, (ii) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) which shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (iii) the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property included in the Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank in favor of the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), and each Grantor will promptly following request give to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities included in the Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property included in the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein. All dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3(b) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor

Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement)).

(c) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to the ABL Administrative Borrower or any other Grantor under this Section 6.3 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6.3 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s (or the Term Collateral Agent’s (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) 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, if the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) notifies such Issuer in writing that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent (or the Term Collateral Agent (under and as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement).

6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, 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, at the written request of the Collateral Agent, all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents and checks 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 endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if reasonably required). All such Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent under this Section 6.4 shall be held by the Collateral

Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC). All such 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. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6) constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, 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 order provided for in Section 2.21(b) of the Credit Agreement.

6.6. Code and Other Remedies. (a) 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 (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. 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 (other than the defense of payment or performance of the Discharge of Obligations), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by any Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, take or retake control or possession of the Collateral and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Secured Parties, 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, it being understood that a Secured Party will be subject to the commercially reasonable requirements under the UCC with respect to any disposition of Collateral. Each 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. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent

notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any of their rights hereunder. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, 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 the Collateral Agent 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 hereof 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) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. 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.

6.7. Registration Rights. (a) [Reserved]

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Capital Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities included in the Collateral, 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 Capital Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities included in the Collateral for the period of time necessary 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 commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Capital Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities included in the Collateral 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 (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) 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 (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment or performance or the Discharge of Obligations.

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 and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7 THE COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1. 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 endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable 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 with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, (1) execute and deliver, and record or 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; and (2) take all necessary steps to maintain and pursue each application for and maintain and enforce each registration of Intellectual Property included in the Collateral owned by such Grantor;

(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 the exercise of any right or remedy provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, 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 endorse 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 deem appropriate; (7) license or assign any Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains) included in the Collateral, 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 consent to any use of cash collateral arising in respect of, 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 expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent reasonably 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 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights provided for in this Section 7.1(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; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to comply therewith within a reasonable period of time.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, 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 Credit Loans that are ABR 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 in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each Secured Party, by its authorization of the Collateral Agent’s entering into this Agreement, consents to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any power, right or remedy provided for herein. 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.

(e) No provision of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise of any of its rights or powers. If it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work or to take the action requested is not reasonably assured to it, the Collateral Agent may decline to act unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

(g) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction, reasonable satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Administrative Agent, as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

7.2. 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 (which shall in no event be less than commercially reasonable custody, safekeeping and physical preservation) and the Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any agent selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates 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 Collateral Agent will have no additional duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral. 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, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3. Financing Statements; Intellectual Property Filings. (a) Pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor

hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto (including amendments assigning filings in favor of the Administrative Agent from the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent), and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, subject to the terms of Section 5.10(d) of the Credit Agreement and Section 3(b) hereof. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned or such other description as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable.

(b) The Collateral Agent is authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents (including documents assigning filings in favor of the Administrative Agent from the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent) as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest in each item of Intellectual Property of each Grantor included in the Collateral that is subject to registration or an application to register in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party, and the Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to the Grantor prior to filing any such documents.

7.4. Authority of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, 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 Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and 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.

7.5. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable (until payment in full of such Grantor’s Obligations), nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to its right to use or sublicense any Intellectual

Property included in the Collateral. The use of the license granted to the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that, any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the foregoing clause shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of the relevant Event of Default; provided, further, that any such license granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, protecting and maintaining the quality standards of the Trademarks in the manner set forth below (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral Agent rights in and to any such Intellectual Property above and beyond (a) the rights to such Intellectual Property that any Grantor has reserved for itself and (b) in the case of Intellectual Property that is licensed to any Grantor by a third party, the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property hereunder).

In the event the license set forth in this Section 7.5 is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the following shall apply: (a) all goodwill arising from any licensed or sublicensed use of any Trademark shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Grantor; (b) the licensed or sublicensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by the applicable Grantor immediately prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein; and (c) at the Grantor’s request and expense, licensees and sublicensees shall provide reasonable cooperation in any effort by the applicable Grantor to maintain the registration or otherwise secure the ongoing validity and effectiveness of such licensed Trademarks, including, without limitation, the actions and conduct described in Section 5.10 above.

7.6. Resignation; Successor Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign by giving 30 days’ written notice thereof to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of an appointment to serve as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent without further act but the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to have the benefits of the compensation, reimbursement and indemnification set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Collateral Agent. Any successor to the Collateral Agent by merger or acquisition of stock or acquisition of all or substantially all of the corporate trust business shall continue to be Collateral Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided

above. A retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for the action or inaction of any successor Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement or pursuant to an Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Annex 1 hereto.

8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

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.

8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.
