termination, settlement, acceleration, mandatory prepayment, or otherwise) and to induce the First Lien Secured Parties to enter into the First Lien Documents, each Grantor hereby assigns by way of security to the Inventory Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Inventory Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties a continuing first-priority (subject to Permitted Security) security interest in the Collateral.

(b) is in addition to, and not in any way prejudiced by, any other security now or subsequently held by any First Lien Secured Party.

(c) This Agreement will remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.

Each Grantor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, the relevant Grantor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the relevant Grantor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.

(b) Without limiting the application of paragraph (a) above, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse the Inventory Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of the Inventory Collateral Agent’s Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Inventory Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.

(c) Without limiting the application of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any loss, costs, damages and expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation by any Grantor in this Agreement, any other Basic Document or in any writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Basic Document.

(d) If and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Section 6.3 (Indemnity) are unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

6.4 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of each Grantor contained in Section 6.3 (Indemnity) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all of the other Obligations and notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued, and Loans made, under the Credit Agreement, and the termination of all letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 7.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, this Security may be enforced by the Inventory Collateral Agent at any time after a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 8.

Enforcement of Security.

8.1 General.

(a) After this Security has become enforceable, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Inventory Collateral Agent may immediately, in its absolute discretion, exercise any right under:

(i) applicable law; or

(ii) this Agreement,

to enforce all or any part of the Security in respect of any Collateral in any manner or order it sees fit.

(b) This includes:

(i) any rights and remedies available to the Inventory Collateral Agent under applicable law and under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral and regardless of whether or not the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted) as if those rights and remedies were set forth in this Agreement in full;

(ii) transferring or assigning to, or registering in the name of, the Inventory Collateral Agent or its nominees any of the Collateral;

(iii) exercising any consent and other rights relating to any Collateral;

(iv) performing or complying with any contractual obligation that constitutes part of the Collateral;

(v) receiving, endorsing, negotiating, executing and delivering or collecting upon any check, draft, note, acceptance, chattel paper, account, instrument, document, letter of credit, contract, agreement, receipt, release, xxxx of lading, invoice, endorsement, assignment, xxxx of sale, deed, security, share certificate, stock power, proxy, or instrument of conveyance or transfer constituting or relating to any Collateral;

(vi) asserting, instituting, filing, defending, settling, compromising, adjusting, discounting or releasing any suit, action, claim, counterclaim, right of set off or other right or interest relating to any Collateral;

(vii) executing and delivering acquittances, receipts and releases in respect of Collateral;

(viii) entering onto the property where any Collateral is located to take possession thereof without judicial process;

(ix) before disposition of the Collateral, processing or otherwise preparing the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Inventory Collateral Agent deems appropriate;

(x) taking possession of the Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remaining on such premises and using the same and any of the Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in sub-paragraph (ix) and collecting any First Lien Obligations;

(xi) without notice except as specified in Section 8.4(b) (Inventory Collateral Agent’s Rights upon Trigger Event), selling the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the First Lien Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Inventory Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable;

(xii) exercising dominion and control over and refusing to permit further withdrawals from any deposit account maintained with the Inventory Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party and providing instructions directing the disposition of funds in any deposit account not maintained with the Inventory Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party;

(xiii) providing entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements and other investment property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to the Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of the Inventory Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Equity Interest or any other investment property; and

(xiv) exercising any other right or remedy available to the Inventory Collateral Agent under the Basic Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Inventory Security Documents or any other agreement between the parties.

8.2 Distributions and Voting Rights

(a) So long as no Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor will be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Capital Stock for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of any Basic Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document and to receive and retain all dividends, interest, revenues, income, distributions and proceeds of any kind in respect of the Pledged Capital Stock to the extent permitted by such documents.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, all rights of each Grantor to exercise voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Capital Stock and to receive dividends, interest, revenues, income, distributions and proceeds of any kind in respect of the Pledged Capital Stock will cease, and all these rights will immediately become vested solely in the Inventory Collateral Agent or its nominees, and such Grantor grants the Inventory Collateral Agent or its nominees the Grantor’s irrevocable and unconditional proxy for this purpose. After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, any dividends, interest, revenues, income, distribution and proceeds of any kind in respect of the Pledged Capital Stock received by such Grantor will be held in trust for the Inventory Collateral Agent, and such Grantor will keep all such amounts separate and apart from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of the Inventory Collateral Agent and will deliver these amounts at such time as the Inventory Collateral Agent may request to the Inventory Collateral Agent in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned if required to enable the Inventory Collateral Agent to complete collection.

8.3 Collections after a Trigger Event.

(a) Following the occurrence of a Trigger Event that is continuing, until the Inventory Collateral Agent exercises its right to collect the proceeds of and amounts payable in respect of Collateral, each Grantor will collect, or will cause to be collected on its behalf pursuant to the Inventory Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other First Lien Security Documents to which it is a party, with diligence, and at its own expense, all such proceeds and amounts as they become due or payable. The parties to this Agreement expressly agree that each Grantor must diligently collect the proceeds of and amounts payable in respect of Collateral and enforce (before the occurrence of a Trigger Event) its rights in respect of Collateral.

(b) If a Trigger Event occurs and is continuing, each Grantor must hold all funds and other property received or collected in respect of the Collateral in trust for the Inventory Collateral Agent, and must keep these funds and this other property segregated from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification.

(c) Each Grantor must deliver those funds and that other property to the Inventory Collateral Agent in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned when required to enable the Inventory Collateral Agent to complete collection.

(d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, no Grantor may settle, compromise, adjust, discount or release any claim in respect of Collateral and must not accept any returns of merchandise other than in the ordinary course of business.

8.4 Inventory Collateral Agent’s Rights upon Trigger Event.

(a) Each Grantor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Inventory Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney in fact, in such

Grantor’s name or in the Inventory Collateral Agent’s name or otherwise, and at such Grantor’s expense, to take any of the actions authorized by this Agreement or permitted under applicable law upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event (in the name of such Grantor or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittances for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to such Grantor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Inventory Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the First Lien Secured Parties, including the right to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to such Grantor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Inventory Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Parties, and to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Inventory Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, without notice to or the consent of such Grantor. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Each Grantor ratifies and confirms all actions taken by the Inventory Collateral Agent or its agents under its respective power of attorney.

(b) The Inventory Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any sale referred to in Section 8.1(b)(xi) (General) and the Inventory Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the First Lien Secured Parties (but not any First Lien Secured Party in its individual capacity), will be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the First Lien Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Inventory Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale will hold the property sold 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 will be required by applicable 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 will constitute reasonable notification. The Inventory Collateral Agent will not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Inventory 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Inventory Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less that in the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Inventory Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the First Lien Obligations, the applicable Grantor(s) will be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Inventory Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(c) The Inventory Collateral Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral.

(d) The grant to the Inventory Collateral Agent under this Agreement of any right, power or remedy does not impose upon the Inventory Collateral Agent any duty to exercise that right, power or remedy. The Inventory Collateral Agent will have no obligation to take any steps to preserve any claim or other right against any Person or with respect to any Collateral.

(e) The applicable Grantor bears the risk of loss, damage, diminution in value, or destruction of the Collateral.

(f) The Inventory Collateral Agent will have no responsibility for any act or omission of any courier, bailee, broker, bank, investment bank or any other Person chosen by it with reasonable care.

(g) The Inventory Collateral Agent makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to any Collateral or other property released to any Grantor or its successors and assigns.

(h) Each Grantor agrees that the Inventory Collateral Agent will have met its duty of care under applicable law if it holds, maintains and disposes of Collateral in the same manner that it holds, maintains and disposes of property for its own account.

(i) Except as set forth in this Section 8.4 (Inventory Collateral Agent’s Rights upon Trigger Event) or as required under applicable law, the Inventory Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Collateral.

(j) The sale, transfer or other disposition under this Agreement of any right, title, or interest of each Grantor in any item of Collateral will:

(i) operate to divest such Grantor permanently and all Persons claiming under or through such Grantor of that right, title, or interest, and

(ii) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any claims by the relevant Grantor or any Person claiming under or through the Grantor with respect to that item of Collateral.

(k) Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 (Enforcement of Security) will cause irreparable injury to the Inventory Collateral Agent, that the Inventory Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 (Enforcement of Security) will be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the First Lien Obligations becoming due and payable before their stated maturities.

(l) By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Inventory Security Document, the First Lien Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Inventory Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Inventory Collateral Agent and that no other First Lien Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Inventory Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Inventory Security Document.

(m) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees that, if any Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Inventory Collateral Agent, the Inventory Collateral Agent may instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation, directly to the Inventory Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Grantor in respect of such Collateral.

8.5 No Marshaling.

(a) The Inventory Collateral Agent need not, and each Grantor irrevocably waives and agrees that it will not invoke or assert any law requiring the Inventory Collateral Agent to:

(i) attempt to satisfy the First Lien Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them; or

(ii) marshal any security or guarantee securing payment or performance of the First Lien Obligations or any particular asset of the Grantor.

(b) The Inventory Collateral Agent may release, modify or waive any collateral or guarantee provided by any other Person to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, without affecting the Inventory Collateral Agent’s rights against the Grantor.

8.6 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Inventory Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Inventory Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Inventory Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Inventory Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Inventory Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Inventory Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of a Trigger Event.

8.7 Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Capital Stock, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the Federal Securities Laws) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Capital Stock permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Inventory Collateral Agent if the Inventory Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Capital Stock, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Capital Stock could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Inventory Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Capital Stock under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Inventory Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Capital Stock, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire

such Pledged Capital Stock for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Inventory Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Capital Stock or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Inventory Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Capital Stock at a price that the Inventory Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 8.7 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Inventory Collateral Agent sells.

8.8 Registration. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, if for any reason the Inventory Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Capital Stock at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Inventory Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Capital Stock to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Inventory Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Capital Stock. Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Inventory Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses to the Inventory Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Capital Stock by the Inventory Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Capital Stock to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Capital Stock under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Inventory Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 8.8 (Registration). Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.8 (Registration) and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 8.8 (Registration) may be specifically enforced.

8.9 [Reserved].

8.10 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVENTORY COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE INVENTORY COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY

OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Inventory Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);

(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Inventory Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and

(c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Grantor.

SECTION 9.

Application of Proceeds.

Any moneys received in connection with the Collateral by the Inventory Collateral Agent after this Security has become enforceable must be applied in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 10.

Miscellaneous.

10.1 Amendments. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement may be modified or supplemented or waived only by an instrument or instruments in writing consented to and signed by each Grantor and the Inventory Collateral Agent.

10.2 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights of the Inventory Collateral Agent under this Agreement (a) may be exercised as often as necessary; (b) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under law or in equity, and (c) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right. Any waiver, consent or amendment shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given and shall not entitle any Grantor to any further or subsequent waiver, consent or amendment.

10.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The agreement of the parties hereto are solely for the benefit of the Grantors, the Inventory Collateral Agent, and the other First Lien Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and no other Person will have any rights hereunder.

10.4 Successors and Assigns; Benefit of Agreement.

(a) All of the terms of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder or holders at any time of the Obligations owed to a First Lien Secured Party, or any part thereof.

(b) None of the Grantors may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the ABL Loan Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Administrative Agent) and the Inventory Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Inventory Party), and any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer in violation of this provision will be void and of no effect.

(c) The Inventory Collateral Agent may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement in the manner permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Each Grantor waives and will not assert against any assignee of the Inventory Collateral Agent any claims, defenses or set offs which such Grantor could assert against the prior Inventory Collateral Agent except for defenses which cannot be waived under applicable law.

(e) The Inventory Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties will hold in accordance with this Agreement (and to the extent applicable, the Intercreditor Agreement) all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Inventory Collateral Agent 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, the Inventory Facility Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Inventory Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Inventory Facility Documents and in the Intercreditor Agreement.

10.5 Additional Grantor. Other than any Retail Business Subsidiary, any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower that is created, acquired or otherwise comes into existence after the date of this Agreement will immediately upon becoming a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower become a Grantor for the purposes of this Agreement concurrently with becoming a borrower under the Credit Agreement and a party to the Framework Agreement by (a) executing and delivering to the Inventory Collateral Agent a joinder agreement in the form of the Joinder Agreement (Joinder Agreement) attached hereto as Schedule 10 (Form of Joinder Agreement), and (b) delivering to the Inventory Collateral Agent evidence that appropriate UCC financing statements and/or amendments thereto, in form and substance satisfactory to the First Lien Secured Parties have been filed. Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such Joinder Agreement by any such Person, such Person will automatically and immediately become a Grantor under and for all purposes of this Agreement.

10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by means of facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which will be an original and all of which will together constitute one and the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, authorizations, directions, waivers and other communications made pursuant to the provisions hereof will be in writing and will be delivered personally or mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by overnight courier or facsimile at the address specified in the Intercreditor Agreement or such other address as may be furnished in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. All notices, requests, demands, consents, authorizations, directions, waivers and other written communications will be effective on receipt.

10.9 Choice of Law.

10.10 Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York for the settlement of any dispute in connection with this Agreement. The New York courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and each Party waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with this Agreement. To the extent allowed by law, the Inventory Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may take (i) proceedings in any other court and (ii) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(b) consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and

10.12 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVENTORY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY ANY INVENTORY DOCUMENT. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY THE COURT.
