With respect to any Investment Related Property that is an “uncertificated security” for purposes of the UCC (other than any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account) and which is included in the Collateral, it shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Collateral Trustee as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Trustee’s instructions with respect to such uncertificated security (such instructions only to be given upon an Event of Default that is continuing in accordance with Section 7 hereof) without further consent by such Grantor.

     (3) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
     (A) 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 Trustee who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and
     (B) in order to permit the Collateral Trustee 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: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Trustee all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Trustee may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Trustee may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1.

     5.1 Access; Right of Inspection.

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Trustee may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
          (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to modify this Agreement after obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 4.7 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Grantor Intellectual Property or any Grantor Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
     5.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to the Collateral Trustee, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Trustee not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

     (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Trustee may be directed to take by a majority of Noteholders for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral;
     (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
     (f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any United States intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Grantor Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;
     (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Trustee in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Trustee to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, due and payable immediately without demand; and
     (h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Trustee deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Trustee or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-31-


 

SECTION 7. REMEDIES.
     7.1 Generally.
          (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may, subject to the terms of and in the manner contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement (and, upon the execution of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
     (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
     (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
     (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Trustee deems appropriate; and
     (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’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 Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable.
          (b) The Collateral Trustee at the direction of the majority of Noteholders or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Trustee, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall 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 sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall 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

-32-


 

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 Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 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 Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, provided this section shall not restrict the operation of Section 9-615(f) of the UCC. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee, that the Collateral Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
          (c) The Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
          (d) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
     7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement (and, upon the execution of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Trustee against, the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
     7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Trustee and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

-33-


 

     7.4 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may apply the balance from any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) to or for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee.
     7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Trustee is directed by a majority of Noteholders to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Trustee all such information as the Collateral Trustee may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Trustee in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
     7.6 Intellectual Property.
          (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
     (i) at the direction of a majority of Noteholders the Collateral Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, at the direction of a majority of Noteholders, to enforce any Grantor Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Trustee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral Trustee in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 11 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Trustee shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Grantor Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each

-34-


 

Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable measures to the extent necessary, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in any Grantor Intellectual Property that is material to its business by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;
     (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Trustee or such Collateral Trustee’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Grantor Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
     (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Trustee (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Grantor Intellectual Property; and
     (iv) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Grantor Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Trustee, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
     (1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and
     (2) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.
          (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Trustee of any rights, title and interests in and to the Grantor Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor

-35-


 

any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Trustee; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties.
          (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 after an Event of Default and at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), 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 said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.
     7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee specified in Section 4.3 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii), be turned over to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required) and held by the Collateral Trustee in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Trustee, (A) be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE.
          The Collateral Trustee has been appointed to act as Collateral Trustee hereunder by each of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement. The Collateral Trustee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by

-36-


 

the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES; RELEASES.
          This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Trustee shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors (or authorize the filing by the Grantors of) any documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property including Capital Stock of a Grantor permitted by the Indenture to a Person that is not a Grantor and in compliance with all provisions of the Indenture for release of the Liens on such property, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor, or such Grantor shall be automatically released, as the case may be, in each case, with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Trustee shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Indenture and the other Security Documents, any holder of the Notes may assign or otherwise transfer any Secured Obligations held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the holders of the Notes herein or otherwise. The liens of Collateral shall be released in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
SECTION 10. RESERVED.
SECTION 11. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL TRUSTEE MAY PERFORM.
          The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the 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. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 otherwise.

-37-


 

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
          Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 13.02 of the Indenture and Section 7.7 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Security Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Security Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as permitted under the Security Documents, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee given in accordance with the Indenture, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Security Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Trustee and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Security Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
          THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE.

-38-


 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
   
     Reference is made to the Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement), dated as of April 6, 2010, among COFFEYVILLE RESOURCES, LLC, the other Grantors named therein, and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the Collateral Trustee.

The Additional Grantor hereby agrees to be bound as a Grantor party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. The Additional Grantor also hereby agrees to be bound as a party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in the Indenture to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Indenture on the execution date of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Additional Grantor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a security interest in and continuing lien on, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder. The Additional Grantor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Grantor contained in the Security Agreement and the Indenture.
