Certain capitalized terms as used herein are defined in Article VIII hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Indenture (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Nathan’s Famous, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), each of Issuer's Subsidiaries party thereto as Guarantors (such Subsidiaries, together with Issuer, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a "Guarantor" and individually and collectively, jointly and severally, as "Guarantors"), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, “Trustee”) and as Collateral Trustee have entered into the Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Indenture"), pursuant to which the Issuer has issued the 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), all as contemplated therein;

WHEREAS, Collateral Trustee has agreed to act as agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Indenture and the other Note Documents, and to induce the Holders to purchase the Notes from the Issuer as provided for in the Indenture and the other Note Documents, Assignors have agreed to grant a continuing security interest in and to the Collateral in order to secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of, among other things, the Secured Obligations;

WHEREAS, following the date hereof, if not prohibited by the Indenture, the Assignors may incur Additional Parity Lien Obligations (including Additional Notes (as defined in the Indenture)) which are secured equally and ratably with the Assignors’ obligations in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 9.20 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to each Assignor, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each Assignor hereby agrees with Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as follows:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term "Proceeds" includes whatever is receivable or received when Investment Property or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected, or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes proceeds of any indemnity or guaranty payable to any Assignor or any Agent from time to time with respect to any of the Investment Property.

- 2 -

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the term "Collateral" shall not include: (i) voting Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Holding Company, solely to the extent that such Capital Stock represents more than 65% of the outstanding voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Holding Company; or (ii) any rights or interest in any contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement covering real or personal property of any Assignor if under the terms of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement, or applicable law with respect thereto, the grant of a security interest or Lien therein is prohibited as a matter of law or under the terms of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement and such prohibition or restriction has not been waived or the consent of the other party to such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement has not been obtained (provided, that, (A) the foregoing exclusions of this clause (ii) shall in no way be construed (1) to apply to the extent that any described prohibition or restriction is unenforceable under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408, or 9-409 of the Code or other applicable law, or (2) to apply to the extent that any consent or waiver has been obtained that would permit Collateral Trustee's security interest or Lien notwithstanding the prohibition or restriction on the pledge of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement and (B) the foregoing exclusions of clauses (i) and (ii) shall in no way be construed to limit, impair, or otherwise affect any of Collateral Trustee's or any Secured Creditor's continuing security interests in and Liens upon any rights or interests of any Assignor in or to (1) monies due or to become due under or in connection with any described contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or Capital Stock (including any Accounts or Capital Stock), or (2) any proceeds from the sale, license, lease, or other dispositions of any such contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or Capital Stock); (iii) any United States intent-to-use Trademark application prior to filing of a statement of use pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(d) or an amendment to allege use pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(c), to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from such intent-to-use Trademark application under applicable federal law, provided, and it being agreed, that upon submission to and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of a statement of use or an amendment to allege use, such intent-to-use Trademark application shall be considered Collateral; (iv) property (whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible), and proceeds thereof, owned by any Assignor on the date hereof or hereafter acquired that is subject to a Lien securing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Permitted Stock permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” for so long as the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted (or the documentation providing for such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock) validly prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such property; (v) 51% of the Capital Stock of Nathan’s Famous of Lynbrook, Inc.; (vi) (A) any real estate asset leased by any Assignor and (B) any real estate asset owned by any Assignor; (vii) all tax, payroll, employee benefit, fiduciary and trust accounts; or (viii) all motor vehicles the perfection of a security interest in which is excluded from the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction.

1.2 Security for Secured Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Assignors, or any of them, to the Secured Creditors, or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an insolvency or liquidation proceeding involving any Assignor due to the existence of such insolvency or liquidation proceeding.

Each Assignor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, which representations and warranties shall be true, correct, and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of the Issue Date and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

2.1 Necessary Filings. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral of each Assignor, to the extent a security interest therein can be created under the Code, securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Except to the extent a security interest in the Collateral cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Code, all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have been duly taken or will have been taken (including, in the case of any Assignor organized in the State of Florida, the payment of all documentary stamps due and payable or to become due and payable pursuant to s.201.22 F.S.) upon the filing of financing statements listing each applicable Assignor, as a debtor, and Collateral Trustee, as secured party, in the jurisdictions listed next to such Assignor's name on Schedule 6. Upon the making of such filings, Collateral Trustee shall have not less than a Second Priority perfected security interest in the Collateral of each Assignor to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement.

Such Assignor is, and as to all Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof such Assignor will be, the owner of such Collateral free and clear from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than Permitted Liens), and such Assignor shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to Collateral Trustee.

2.3 Other Financing Statements. As of the date hereof, there is no financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under any applicable law) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral (other than financing statements filed in respect of Permitted Liens), and such Assignor will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under any applicable law) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by such Assignor or in connection with Permitted Liens.

2.4 Location of Inventory and Equipment. All Inventory and Equipment located within the United States and held on the date hereof, or held at any time during the four calendar months prior to the date hereof, by each Assignor (other than Inventory and Equipment in transit) is located at one of the locations shown on Schedule 1 hereto for such Assignor.

Such Assignor may change its legal name, its type of organization, its status as a Registered Organization (in the case of a Registered Organization), its jurisdiction of organization, its Location, or its organizational identification number (if any) from that used on Schedule 2 hereto; provided that (a) Collateral Trustee shall have received a written notice not less than twenty (20) days prior to the effectiveness of such change, together with a supplement to Schedule 2 which shall correct all information contained therein for such Assignor, and (b) in connection with such change, such Assignor shall have taken all actions as necessary to maintain the security interests of Collateral Trustee in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect. In addition, to the extent that such Assignor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, such Assignor shall promptly thereafter notify Collateral Trustee of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions as necessary to maintain the security interest of Collateral Trustee in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.

2.6 Trade Names; Etc. Such Assignor does not have or operate in any jurisdiction under, or in the preceding five years has not had or operated in any jurisdiction under, any trade name, fictitious names or other names except its legal name as specified in Schedule 2 and such other trade or fictitious names as are listed on Schedule 3 hereto for such Assignor.

2.7 Certain Significant Transactions. During the one year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Person shall have merged or consolidated with or into any Assignor, and no Person shall have liquidated into, or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to, any Assignor, in each case except as described in Schedule 4 hereto. With respect to any transactions so described in Schedule 4 hereto, the respective Assignor shall have furnished such information with respect to the Person (and the assets of the Person and locations thereof) which merged with or into or consolidated with such Assignor, or was liquidated into or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to such Assignor, and no security interest (excluding Permitted Liens) continues perfected on the date hereof with respect to any Person described above (or the assets transferred to the respective Assignor by such Person), including pursuant to Section 9-316(a)(3) of the Code.

2.8 As-Extracted Collateral; Timber-to-be-Cut. On the date hereof, such Assignor does not own, or expect to acquire, any property which constitutes, or would constitute, As-Extracted Collateral or Timber-to-be-Cut.

2.9 Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Assignor's Inventory or other Goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, and the fair market value of such Inventory or Goods in the possession of such bailee exceeds $250,000, such Assignor shall promptly notify Collateral Trustee in writing thereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Trustee, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Collateral Trustee and shall act upon the instructions of Collateral Trustee, without the further consent of such Assignor.

2.10 Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, or other order or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required (a) for the grant of a security interest by such Assignor in and to the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by such Assignor, or (b) for the exercise by Collateral Trustee of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement with respect to the Investment Property or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such disposition of Investment Property by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. No Intellectual Property Contract of any Assignor that is necessary to the conduct of such Assignor's business requires any consent of any other Person in order for such Assignor to grant the security interest granted hereunder in such Assignor's right, title or interest in or to such Intellectual Property Contract.

2.11 Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Assignor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Assignor contained herein, in the other Note Documents and in any certificate delivered in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

Article III

SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL

3.1 Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when each of its Accounts arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that, to such Assignor's knowledge, each such Account, and all records, papers and documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and what they purport to be, and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (a) will represent the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the respective Account Debtor, (b) will evidence true and valid obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and (c) will be in compliance and will conform in all material respects with all applicable laws.

3.2 Maintenance of Records. Each Assignor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense accurate records of its Accounts and Contracts, including originals or electronic or other copies of all documentation (including each Contract) with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other material dealings therewith, and such Assignor will make the same available on such Assignor's premises to Collateral Trustee for inspection, at such Assignor's own cost and expense and otherwise in accordance with the Indenture and each applicable Additional Parity Lien Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the request of Collateral Trustee, such Assignor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver to Collateral Trustee or to its representatives copies (and, if the Notes have been accelerated, originals (except where the originals have been delivered to Collateral Trustee’s agent, bailee or designee, including the Priority Lien Representative in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement)) of all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and records (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Assignor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if Collateral Trustee so directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Trustee, the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts, with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to Collateral Trustee and that Collateral Trustee has a security interest therein.

3.3 Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if Collateral Trustee so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (a) to cause all payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts to be made directly to the Cash Collateral Account, (b) to notify Account Debtors of any Assignor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Assignor have been assigned to Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, or that Collateral Trustee has a security interest therein, and (c) that Collateral Trustee or Collateral Trustee's designee may collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Assignor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Assignor's Secured Obligations under the Note Documents. Without notice to or assent by any Assignor, Collateral Trustee may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms and provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

3.4 Possession of Collateral. In the event that any Collateral, including Proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, Investment Property, or Chattel Paper, in each case, having an aggregate value or face amount of $250,000 or more for all such Negotiable Collateral, Investment Property, or Chattel Paper, the Assignors shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof), notify Collateral Trustee in writing thereof, and if and to the extent that perfection or priority of Collateral Trustee's Security Interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Assignor, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) shall execute such other documents and instruments as necessary or, if applicable, endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral, Investment Property, or Chattel Paper to Collateral Trustee (or its agent, bailee or designee, including the Priority Lien Representative in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement), together with such undated powers (or other relevant document of transfer) endorsed in blank as necessary, and shall do such other acts or things necessary or desirable to perfect and protect Collateral Trustee's Security Interest therein.

- 6 -

3.5 Assignors Remain Liable. Neither Collateral Trustee nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Account or Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, 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 them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each of the Assignors shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (b) the exercise by Collateral Trustee or any Secured Creditor of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral.

3.6 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If the Assignors (or any of them) are or become the beneficiary of letters of credit having a face amount or value of $250,000 or more in the aggregate, then the applicable Assignor or Assignors shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary), notify Collateral Trustee in writing thereof and, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Trustee, (a) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Collateral Trustee (or its agent, bailee or designee, including the Priority Lien Representative in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement) of such Letter-of-Credit Rights or (b) arrange for Collateral Trustee (or its agent, bailee or designee, including the Priority Lien Representative in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement) to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with Collateral Trustee agreeing, in each case, that the Proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement and in the Indenture.

3.7 Commercial Tort Claims. All Commercial Tort Claims of each Assignor in existence on the date of this Agreement are described in Schedule 5 hereto. If the Assignors (or any of them) obtain Commercial Tort Claims having a value, or involving an asserted claim, in the amount of $250,000 or more in the aggregate for all Commercial Tort Claims, then the applicable Assignor or Assignors shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of obtaining such Commercial Tort Claim) notify Collateral Trustee in writing upon incurring or otherwise obtaining such Commercial Tort Claims and, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), amend Schedule 5 to describe such Commercial Tort Claims in a manner that reasonably identifies such Commercial Tort Claims and which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Trustee, and hereby authorizes the filing of additional financing statements or amendments to existing financing statements describing such Commercial Tort Claims, and agrees to do such other acts or things necessary or desirable to give Collateral Trustee a Second Priority, perfected security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim.

3.8 Chattel Paper.

(a) Each Assignor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to grant Collateral Trustee control of all Electronic Chattel Paper in accordance with the Code and all "transferable records" as that term is defined in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, to the extent that the aggregate value or face amount of such Electronic Chattel Paper equals or exceeds $250,000. Each Assignor will deliver all of its Tangible Chattel Paper to Collateral Trustee (or its agent, bailee or designee, including the Priority Lien Representative in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement).

- 7 -

(b) If any Assignor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or instruments (which retention of possession shall be subject to the extent permitted hereby and by the Indenture), such Chattel Paper and instruments shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of U.S. Bank National Association, as Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors".

3.9 Government Contracts.

(d) Each Assignor shall promptly file an application with the United States Copyright Office for any Copyright that has not been registered with the United States Copyright Office if such Copyright is necessary in connection with the conduct of such Assignor's business unless in the reasonable business judgment of such Assignor, registration of such Copyright would not be reasonably prudent or commercially reasonable in the operation of such Assignor's business as then-currently conducted. Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be borne by the Assignors. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Assignor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in another country without giving Collateral Trustee written notice thereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such filing and complying with Section 4.6(a).

Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.7, Assignors acknowledge and agree that no Secured Creditor shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Contracts against any other Person, but any Secured Creditor may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of Issuer.

4.8 Confidentiality. Each Assignor shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise protect and enforce its rights in, Material Intellectual Property that is a Trade Secret, including, as applicable (a) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of its Trade Secrets constituting Material Intellectual Property by having and enforcing a policy requiring all current employees, consultants, licensees, vendors and contractors with access to such information to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements; (b) taking actions reasonably necessary to ensure that no such Trade Secret falls into the public domain; and (c) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of the source code of all material software programs and applications, if any, of which it is the owner or licensee by having and enforcing a policy requiring any licensees (or sublicensees) of such source code to enter into license agreements with commercially reasonable use and non-disclosure restrictions.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and subject to Article VI and the Collateral Trust Agreement, Collateral Trustee (or its designee) may, at the direction of the Required Secured Creditors, take any or all of the following actions for the duration of such Event of Default and subject to any then-existing third party rights: (a) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Assignor in and to all Intellectual Property, vested in Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 9.18 to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable Governmental Authority; (b) take and use, practice under or sell the Intellectual Property and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Assignor in connection with which the Intellectual Property has been used; and (c) direct such Assignor to refrain, in which event such Assignor shall refrain, from using or practicing under the Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Assignor shall execute such further documents that Collateral Trustee may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property to Collateral Trustee.

Each Assignor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Assignor to pay the Secured Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Assignor.

To the extent practicable, each Assignor agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of its Inventory, such Assignor shall request that such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be "negotiable" (as such term is used in Section 7-104 of the Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction or under other relevant law).

5.3 Additional Information. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of Collateral Trustee, promptly furnish to Collateral Trustee such information with respect to the Collateral (including the identity of the Collateral or such components thereof as may have been reasonably requested by Collateral Trustee in writing, the value and location of such Collateral, etc.) as may be requested by Collateral Trustee.

Each Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral.

Article VI

REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

6.1 Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Each Assignor agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Trustee, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement and any other Note Document, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Code, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including without limitation, the following (in each case subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement):

(a) Collateral Trustee without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Assignor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Assignors to, and each Assignor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Collateral Trustee and make it available to Collateral Trustee at one or more locations where such Assignor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Collateral Trustee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable.

Collateral Trustee 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. Each Assignor agrees that the internet shall constitute a "place" for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Each Assignor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and an Assignor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.

- 15 -

(b) Collateral Trustee may instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to Collateral Trustee and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in respect of such Collateral.

(e) Collateral Trustee may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Note Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Assignor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Assignor's Deposit Accounts in which Collateral Trustee's Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Assignor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Collateral Trustee, and (ii) with respect to any Assignor's Securities Accounts in which Collateral Trustee's Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Assignor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Collateral Trustee, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Collateral Trustee.

(f) Collateral Trustee may take any other action as specified in clauses (a) through (e), inclusive, of Section 9-607 of the Code.

Each Assignor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Collateral Trustee shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Collateral Trustee shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Assignor, and each Assignor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Assignor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Collateral Trustee.

To the extent permitted by any such Requirements of Law, Collateral Trustee may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Secured Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 6.2 without accountability to any Assignor. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor's expense.

6.3 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH COLLATERAL TRUSTEE'S TAKING POSSESSION OR COLLATERAL TRUSTEE'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and concurrent and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of Collateral Trustee to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

To the extent that it lawfully may, each Assignor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Collateral Trustee's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Assignor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

9.7 Assignors' Duties. The powers conferred on Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect Collateral Trustee's interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Trustee to exercise any such powers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to take any action whatsoever absent written instructions from the Required Secured Creditors. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Trustee accords its own property.

9.8 Termination; Release.

(a) Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and any Additional Parity Lien Agreement, or otherwise in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Indenture or any substantially similar provision in any Additional Parity Lien Agreement, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Collateral Trustee will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Indenture, any other Note Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Assignor to Collateral Trustee nor any other notes issued by the Issuer to any Holder, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Assignors, or any of them, by Collateral Trustee, nor any other act of the Secured Creditors, or any of them, shall release any Assignor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Collateral Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement. Collateral Trustee shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Collateral Trustee and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Collateral Trustee of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Collateral Trustee would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

(b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than an Assignor), in each case in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by the Note Documents and any Additional Parity Lien Agreement, and the proceeds of such sale, disposition (or from such release) or loss are applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or such other Note Documents or Additional Parity Lien Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, subject to the terms and provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, Collateral Trustee, at the request and expense of such Assignor and upon satisfaction of each of the applicable conditions precedent described in Article 4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, will duly release from the security interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, or the subject of a total loss or constructive total loss as provided above and as may be in the possession of Collateral Trustee and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, upon the release of any Assignor from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the provisions thereof, such Assignor (and the Collateral at such time assigned by the respective Assignor pursuant hereto) shall be released from this Agreement.

- 28 -

(c) At any time that an Assignor desires that Collateral Trustee take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 9.8(a) or (b), such Assignor shall deliver to Collateral Trustee a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Assignor satisfying the conditions of Section 4.1(b)(1) of the Collateral Trust Agreement and otherwise stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 9.8(a) or (b).

(d) Collateral Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor, any Assignor or any other Person as the result of any release of Collateral by it upon receipt of the officers’ certificate described in Section 9.8(c) hereof or which Collateral Trustee in good faith believes to be in accordance with this Section 9.8.

9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

9.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

9.11 Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Creditors.

(a) Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under, or with respect to, any Note Document if taking such action (i) would subject Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business, or obtain any license, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or licensed or (iii) would subject Collateral Trustee to in personam jurisdiction in any locations where it is not then so subject.

(b) Collateral Trustee may deem and treat any Person identified by Trustee as a Holder under the Indenture for all purposes of the Note Documents and any Person identified by an Additional Priority Agent as the holder of an Additional Priority Lien Obligation for all purposes of the applicable Additional Priority Lien Agreement. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is a Secured Creditor shall be final and conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Secured Creditor.

(c) Collateral Trustee will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Creditors. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Collateral Trustee as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 10.03 of the Indenture. Collateral Trustee shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 10.03 of the Indenture (including, without limitation, its rights, protections and immunities), the terms of which shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as fully as if the same were set forth herein in their entirety; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Trustee shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement and the written instructions of the Required Secured Creditors.

- 29 -

9.12 Additional Assignors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the Issuer that desires to become an Assignor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture, any other Note Document or any Additional Parity Lien Agreement, shall become an Assignor hereunder by (a) executing a Joinder Agreement, (b) delivering supplements to Schedules 1 through 7, inclusive, hereto as are necessary to cause such Schedules to be complete and accurate with respect to such additional Assignor on such date and (c) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Assignor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case, with all documents required above to be delivered to Collateral Trustee and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of Collateral Trustee. Such Subsidiary shall become an Assignor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as an Assignor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Assignor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Assignor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Assignor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Assignor hereunder.

9.13 Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be read and construed with the other Note Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.

(a) Indenture. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in the Indenture, such provision of the Indenture shall control.

(b) Patent, Trademark, Copyright Security Agreements. The provisions of the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Collateral Trustee hereunder. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in a Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement or Patent Security Agreement, such provision of this Agreement shall control.

9.14 Collateral Trustee. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by "Collateral Trustee" shall be a reference to Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors. If any Assignor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Collateral Trustee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Assignors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the rights, privileges and indemnities of the Collateral Trustee in Section 7.12 of the Collateral Trust Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference.

9.15 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Secured Creditor or any Assignor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

9.16 Merger, Amendments; Etc.. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Assignor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Trustee and each Assignor to which such amendment applies.
