(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Credit Facility Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the LC Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized as required by Section 2.05(j) of the Credit Agreement) and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Credit Facility Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Credit Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Credit Facility Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Credit Facility Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Credit Facility Obligations), remain liable for the Credit Facility Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Credit Facility Obligations are paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the LC Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized as required by Section 2.05(j) of the Credit Agreement) and the Commitments are terminated.

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Credit Parties and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Credit Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Credit Facility Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Secured Parties by the Guarantors on account of the Credit Facility Obligations are paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the LC Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized as required by Section 2.05(j) of the Credit Agreement) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Credit Facility Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Credit Facility Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Administrative Agent may determine in accordance with Section 6.5.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Credit Facility Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Credit Facility Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Credit Facility Obligations continued, and the Credit Facility Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreement, and Treasury Services Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with their respective terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Credit Facility Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Credit Facility Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Credit Facility Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Credit Facility Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be

conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facility Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Swap Agreement, any Treasury Services Agreement, any of the Credit Facility Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Credit Facility Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, other than termination of this guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Section 2. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Credit Facility Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Credit Facility Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in dollars as specified in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement.

2.8 Representations in Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each Secured Party that, in the case of such Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct, and the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein; provided, that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 2.8, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

2.9 Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken

as set forth in Articles V and VI, or in any other Loan Document, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

Each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any Excluded Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, any grant of a security interest by a Grantor in its Intellectual Property Collateral hereunder shall not in and of itself constitute a transfer or assignment of such Intellectual Property Collateral to the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Financing Agreements, none of the Grantors shall be required (i) to perfect the security interests granted by this Agreement (including security interests in Investment Property and Fixtures) by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the UCC of the relevant State(s) (excluding fixture filings in respect of any Real Property (unless such filing is required to satisfy Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and/or Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement)), (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to Intellectual Property Collateral as expressly required elsewhere herein, (C) delivery to the Administrative Agent to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Notes as expressly required elsewhere herein, (D) other methods expressly provided herein or (E) with respect to Pledged Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries, pledge agreements under applicable local law if requested by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that no such pledge agreements under this clause (E) shall be required until 75 days after the date hereof or such later date by which the applicable Grantor is able to deliver any such pledge agreement after using commercially reasonable efforts), (ii) to enter into any deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement with respect to any deposit account or securities account, (iii) to take any action (other than the actions listed in clause (i)(A), (C) and (E) above) with respect to any assets located outside of the United States, including, without limitation, Intellectual Property filed in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, (iv) to perfect in any assets subject to a certificate of title statute, or (v) to deliver any Pledged Equity Interests, other than the Pledged Equity Interests of any Domestic Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary representing Equity Interests pledged hereunder.

3.2 Acknowledgement of Liens; Pari Passu Basis. Each Secured Credit Party hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of the other Secured Credit Parties, (a) has been granted a Lien upon the Collateral and (b) holds the Collateral as agent under this Agreement and the other Security Agreements for the equal and ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties as provided herein. Notwithstanding the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent in any Collateral, and notwithstanding any conflicting provisions, terms or conditions of the New York UCC or any other applicable law or the Loan Documents or the Indenture Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever, each of the Secured Credit Parties expressly agrees that the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent in the Collateral shall secure the Credit Facility Obligations and the Borrower Noteholder Obligations on a pari passu basis for the benefit of the respective Secured Credit Parties.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Secured Credit Party that:

4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except

such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, in the ordinary course of its business consistent with past practice, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property Collateral owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Secured Credit Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property Collateral or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property Collateral pursuant hereto.

4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement create a valid security interest, and upon the filing of the appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 4, a perfected security interest, in all of the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations with respect to which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Permitted Liens.

4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and the Equipment (other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed on Schedule 5.

4.5 Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the Proceeds of, Farm Products.

4.6 Investment Property.

(c) Each of the Pledged Notes which has an obligor that is a Grantor, and to the knowledge of each Grantor, each of the Pledged Notes which has an obligor that is a not a Grantor, constitutes the

legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(a) On the date hereof, except to the extent listed in Section 3.1 above, no Grantor has rights in any Commercial Tort Claim with potential value in excess of $1,000,000.

(b) Upon the filing of a financing statement describing in reasonable detail any Commercial Tort Claim referred to in Section 5.11 hereof against such Grantor in the jurisdiction specified in Schedule 3 hereto, the security interest granted in such Commercial Tort Claim will constitute a valid perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase such Collateral from Grantor, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on such Collateral except for unrecorded liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on such Collateral by operation of law.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to deliver on the Closing Date all Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Notes owned by it on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent and with respect to any Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Notes issued or acquired after the Closing Date, it agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered as promptly as practicable (and in any event, within 45 days after the date of acquisition thereof or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may agree in its

reasonable discretion) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, any and all such Pledged Equity Interests (other than any uncertificated securities, but only for so long as such securities remain uncertificated) and Pledged Notes to the extent such Pledged Notes, in the case of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness, are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b).

If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Credit Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, such Grantor (other than the Borrower) will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, (iii) create, incur or permit to

exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.

(a) Grantor may make the following adjustments to any Receivable in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice or otherwise pursuant to sound business judgment, including, without limitation, the following: (i) grant an extension of the time of payment of a Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle a Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of a Receivable, or (iv) allow a credit or discount on a Receivable.

(b) Such Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it that questions or calls into doubt the validity or enforceability of more than 7.5% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Receivables.

5.8 Contracts. Such Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it relating in any way to any Material Contract that questions the validity or enforceability of such Material Contract.

5.9 Intellectual Property.

(a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will (i) continue to use each material Trademark included in the Collateral on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use at least in a manner substantially consistent with past business practice, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark at least in a manner substantially consistent with past business practice, (iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way.

(b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent included in the Collateral may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.

(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) (i) will employ each material Copyright included in the Collateral at least in a manner substantially consistent with past business practice and

(ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses any material Intellectual Property Collateral to infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person.

(e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property Collateral may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the USPTO, the USCO or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the USPTO, the USCO or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Credit Parties’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, in each case, included in the Collateral.

(g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable (taking into account the economic value thereof) and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the USPTO, the USCO or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

(h) In the event that any material Intellectual Property Collateral is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property Collateral and (ii) if such Intellectual Property Collateral is of material economic value, promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof and, to the extent it is reasonable based on such Grantor’s sound business judgment, sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

5.10 Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim with a potential value in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall within 30 days of obtaining such interest sign and deliver documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent granting a security interest under the terms and provisions of this Agreement in and to such Commercial Tort Claim. Upon the filing of a financing statement describing in reasonable detail such Commercial Tort Claim against such Grantor in the applicable jurisdiction specified in Schedule 3 hereto, the security interest granted in such Commercial Tort Claim will constitute a valid perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such

Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase such Collateral from Grantor, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on such Collateral except for Permitted Encumbrances and unrecorded liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on such Collateral by operation of law.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, no more than one (1) time in any 12-month period but at any time or times as Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable on a no-names basis or in the name of the Grantor, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. No more than one (1) time in any 12-month period but more frequently as Administrative Agent may reasonably require after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables; provided that the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within three Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account identified in writing by the Administrative Agent to such Grantor maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Credit Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Credit Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the Administrative Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent

for the ratable benefit of the Secured Credit Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Credit Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Credit Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Credit Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3 Pledged Equity Interests.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent not prohibited in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter solely exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and

(ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Credit Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Credit Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Credit Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order (it being understood that any application of such Proceeds constituting Collateral by the Administrative Agent towards the payment of the Obligations shall be made in the following order):

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent under the this Agreement and any other Security Agreement;

Second, to pay pro rata (i) incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent under the other Loan Documents and (ii) incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the 2033 Indenture Trustee under the 2033 Indenture;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Credit Parties in proportion to the amounts of the outstanding Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Credit Parties; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded), no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the LC Exposure related thereto has been cash collateralized as required by Section 2.05(j) of the Credit Agreement), the Commitments shall have terminated, except as otherwise agreed by the affected Swap Banks pursuant to the applicable Swap Agreements, any Swap Agreement shall have been terminated, and, except as otherwise agreed by the affected Treasury Services Banks pursuant to the applicable Treasury Services Agreements, any Treasury Services Agreement shall have been terminated, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes of this Section, to the extent that any Obligation is unmatured, unliquidated or contingent (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) at the time any distribution is to be made pursuant to clause Third above, the Administrative Agent shall allocate a portion of the amount to be distributed pursuant to such clause for the benefit of the Secured Credit Parties holding such Obligations and shall hold such amounts for the benefit of such Secured Credit Parties until such time as such Obligations become matured, liquidated and/or payable at which time such amounts shall be

distributed to the holders of such Obligations to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full (with any excess to be distributed in accordance with this Section as if distributed at such time). In making determinations and allocations required by this Section, the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon information provided to it by the holder of the relevant Obligations (which, in the case of the immediately preceding sentence shall be a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Obligations) and shall not be required to, or be responsible for, ascertaining the existence of or amount of any Obligations.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Credit Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a Secured Credit Party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by any Requirement of Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Credit Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk; provided, that the Administrative Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sales, which, based on commercially reasonable judgment, it shall deem inadequate. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places designated by the Administrative Agent that are reasonably convenient to such Grantor and the Administrative Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Credit Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Credit Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give each Grantor not less than 10 days’ prior notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Any such notice shall (a) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (b) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (c) contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC, (d) be authenticated and (e) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of the UCC; provided that, if the Administrative Agent fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC. The Administrative Agent and each Grantor agree that such notice constitutes reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.

6.7 Registration Rights.

(a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is reasonably necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, reasonably necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are reasonably necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

6.8 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the final payment in full in cash of such Grantor’s Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable and demanded).

6.9 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations.

6.10 Default Notice.

(a) If the Administrative Agent at any time receives a Default Notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly provide a copy of such Default Notice to the 2033 Indenture Trustee. Thereafter, the Administrative Agent may (and at the written request of Required Debtholders shall) exercise and enforce the Administrative Agent’s interest, rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or applicable law. Unless it has been directed to the contrary by Required Debtholders, the Administrative Agent in any event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking any such action with respect to an Event of Default as it may deem reasonably advisable and in the best interest of the Secured Credit Parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Event of Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until it receives a Default Notice.

(c) In connection with any vote of Required Debtholders under this Agreement, the votes of each Secured Credit Party entitled to vote thereon shall be cast in the manner provided by the terms of the corresponding Loan Documents or Indenture Documents, as applicable. Each Secured Credit Party entitled to vote shall have the number of votes equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Total Indebtedness held by such Secured Credit Party, as applicable.

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Secured Credit Party hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Security Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any Security Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any Security Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Secured Credit Party; (b) shall not be responsible to the Secured Credit Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the Security Agreements, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under this Agreement or any Security Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Security Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Grantor or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to the Secured Credit Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Security Agreement or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, delegate any of its rights and powers under any Security Agreement with respect to Collateral located outside the United States to an affiliate of the Administrative Agent having offices outside the United States.

7.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy,

telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, without inquiry or investigation and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Administrative Agent or the 2033 Indenture Trustee, and such instructions of the Administrative Agent or the 2033 Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Secured Credit Parties.

7.3 Indemnification. The Secured Parties agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Grantors) ratably, in accordance with their pro rata share, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Secured Party) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the reasonable costs and expenses that the Administrative Agent is obligated to pay) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, that, no Secured Party shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.4 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and other Secured Credit Parties. Each Secured Credit Party agrees that it has independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Credit Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the other Grantors and has made its own decision to enter into its Financing Agreements and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Credit Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under its Financing Agreements. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Grantor of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Security Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Grantor. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Credit Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Grantor that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

7.5 Failure to Act. Except for any action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and under any Security Agreement unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.3 hereof against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

7.6 Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent and each Secured Credit Party hereby appoints each other Secured Credit Party as agent for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral, which, in accordance with the UCC as from time to time in effect can be perfected only by possession. Should any Secured Credit Party obtain possession of any Collateral, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

7.7 Resignation. Upon prior written notice to each of the Borrower and the 2033 Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time. In the event of any such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor agent reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the 2033 Indenture Trustee (and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, the successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative l Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no further duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 7 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

7.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Security Agreements.

(a) Each Secured Party ratifies and confirms the Administrative Agent entering into this Agreement and authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into such additional Security Agreements as the Administrative Agent may determine to enter into from time to time. Each Secured Credit Party agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Security Agreements relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by Administrative Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Secured Credit Parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Credit Party or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Grantor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Security Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement), or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Security Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent, subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Secured Credit Party, except for any liability to a Secured Credit Party as a result of any action by the Administrative Agent that is determined to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.9 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

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

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of

moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property Collateral, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Credit Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or Section 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s reasonable expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Credit Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.9(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.9(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Section 7.9, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.9, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due Loans that are ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.10 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Secured Credit Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Credit Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Credit Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Credit Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Credit 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.

7.11 Authorization of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

7.12 Intellectual Property Filings. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file filings with the USPTO or USCO (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country), including this Agreement, the Copyright Security Agreement, the Patent Security Agreement and the Trademark Security Agreement, or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder, without the signature of such Grantor, and naming such Grantor, as debtor, and the Administrative Agent, as Secured Credit Party.

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

so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.14 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable at the time of the Event of Default, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to copies of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1; and provided, further, that any such notices, requests and demands to or upon the 2033 Trustee shall be address to such trustee at the address below:

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

2 North La Salle Street, Suite 1020

Chicago, IL 60602

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Credit Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Credit Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Credit Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Credit Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Credit Party for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2, and each Grantor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Credit Party for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or Indenture Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Credit Parties and of counsel to the Administrative Agent (limited, with respect to the Administrative Agent and the Secured

Parties, to one outside counsel and local counsel as required, and in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel for the affected parties).

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Credit Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Credit Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement and Section 7.07 of the 2033 Indenture.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Credit Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Swap Bank and Treasury Services Bank agrees to be bound by all of the applicable provisions thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no Swap Bank nor any Treasury Services Bank shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement unless such Swap Bank or Treasury Services Bank shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a written instrument substantially in the form of Annex II hereto or in such other form as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to its obligations under the Loan Documents and such Swap Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, as applicable.

8.6 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Credit Party provided by law, each Secured Credit Party shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by any Grantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Credit Party, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor. Each Secured Credit Party agrees promptly to notify the relevant Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application. The rights of each Secured Credit Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Credit Party may have.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 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.

8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors and the Secured Credit Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured Credit Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

8.14 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) no Secured Credit Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Credit Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

2033 Convertible Notes, the security interest created hereby shall be released to the extent such security interest has been granted to the Administrative Agent in favor of the 2033 Noteholders and the 2033 Indenture Trustee, and thereafter such security interest shall continue in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall request to evidence such termination.
