2.1                               Guarantee.

(a)                                 Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Borrower Obligations of such Borrower owed to the applicable Secured Parties.

(b)                                 Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable law, including applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the rights of contribution of each Guarantor provided in the following subsection 2.2 be included as an asset of the respective Guarantor in determining the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

(c)                                  Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(d)                                 The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans, all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 then due and

13

owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the ABL Credit Agreement any of the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations, (ii) as to any Guarantor, the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (to a Person other than the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) as permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement or (iii) as to any Guarantor, the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(e)                                  No payment made by any Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from any of the Borrowers, 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 any of the Borrower 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 Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations of each Borrower guaranteed by it hereunder up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans and all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated, (ii) as to any Guarantor, the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (to a Person other than the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) as permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement or (iii) the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

2.2                               Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worth of the Guarantors on the date the respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of subsection 2.3.  The provisions of this subsection 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured 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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrowers on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash 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 Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Borrower Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) guaranteed by such Guarantor and/or then or at any time

14

thereafter may be applied against any Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may determine.

2.4                               Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, 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 Borrower Obligations made by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower 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, waived, modified, accelerated, compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the ABL Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, waived, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or the applicable Lenders(s), as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  None of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.

2.5                               Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.  Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; each of the Borrower Obligations, and any obligation contained therein, 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 any of the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other 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.  Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations.  Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection.  Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses (other than any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following:  (a) the validity or enforceability of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower 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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Borrowers against the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any change in the time, place, manner or place of payment, amendment, or waiver or increase in any of the Obligations, (d) any

15

exchange, taking, or release of Security Collateral, (e) any change in the structure or existence of any of the Borrowers, (f) any application of Security Collateral to any of the Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation:  (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives any Borrower of any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement), or (h) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder) (with or without notice to or knowledge of any of the Borrowers or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any of the Borrowers for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and any other 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 any of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any 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 any 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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other 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 of any Guarantor 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 Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any 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, any 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 (or, in the case of any amount required to be paid in any other currency pursuant to the requirements of the ABL Credit Agreement or other agreement relating to the respective Obligations, such other currency), at the Administrative Agent’s

16

office specified in subsection 11.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement or such other address as may be designated in writing by the Administrative Agent to such Guarantor from time to time in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement.

(d)           each Granting Party acknowledges that certain of the Pledged Collateral of such Granting Party may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and each Granting Party that neither the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party should under any circumstances prior to realization be held to be a “member” or “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws.  Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, where a Granting Party is the registered and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of such Granting Party, such Granting Party will remain the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC.  Accordingly, each Granting Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend or other distribution, if any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of share certificates representing Pledged Collateral, which shall be delivered to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Granting Party would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent pursuant hereto.  Nothing in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than the applicable Granting Party, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC

19

(a)           At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral in any reasonable manner and through any reasonable medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the relevant Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.  At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the U.S. ABL Collateral 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 U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to furnish to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral.

(b)           The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement.  If required by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, any Proceeds constituting payments or other cash proceeds of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, when collected by such Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days of receipt by such Grantor) deposited in, or otherwise transferred by such Grantor to, the Collateral Proceeds Account, subject to withdrawal by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.  All Proceeds constituting collections or other cash proceeds of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral while held by the Collateral Account Bank (or by any Grantor in trust for the benefit of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.  At any time when an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, at the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s election, each of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in the Collateral Proceeds Account established by the relevant Grantor to the payment of the Obligations of such Grantor then due and owing, such application to be made as set forth in subsection 6.5.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the funds on deposit in the Collateral Proceeds Account shall be remitted as provided in subsection 6.1(d).

(c)           At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, at the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the enforcement thereof or foreclosure thereon, originals of all documents held by such Grantor evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including, without limitation, all statements relating to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(d)           So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall instruct the Collateral Account Bank to promptly remit any funds on deposit in each

32

Grantor’s Collateral Proceeds Account to such Grantor’s General Fund Account or any other account designated by such Grantor.  In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties agree that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, at its option, may require that each Collateral Proceeds Account and the General Fund Account of each Grantor be established at the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.  Each Grantor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its own funds from its own General Fund Account, and to maintain such balances in its General Fund Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable.

6.2          Communications with Obligors; Granting Parties Remain Liable.

(a)           The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others, may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable and parties to the Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts Receivable or Contracts.

(b)           Upon the request of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and parties to such Grantor’s Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) that such Accounts Receivable and such Contracts have been assigned to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.

(c)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable 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.  None of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

33

Parties or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the ABL Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)           If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall give written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right, except in the case of ULC Shares, to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor in such order as is provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) except in the case of ULC Shares, any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, or the respective nominee of any thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, or acting through its respective nominee, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, may thereafter exercise (x) except in the case of ULC Shares, all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) except in the case of ULC Shares, any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock other than ULC Shares upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor or the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock other than ULC Shares, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock other than ULC Shares with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in accordance with subsection 6.6.

(c)           Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder other than ULC Shares to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the U.S. ABL Collateral 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 Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted or prohibited hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.

34

6.4          Proceeds to be Turned Over to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.  In addition to the rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 6.1 with respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall have instructed any Grantor to do so, all Proceeds of Security Collateral received by such Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, the Cash Flow Collateral Agent and the other Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), the First Lien Note Agent, and the First Lien Noteholder Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), any Additional Agent and the other applicable Additional Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), the Second Lien Note Agent and the Second Lien Noteholder Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the applicable Collateral Representative, the Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or their respective agents appointed for purposes of perfection), in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, the Cash Flow Collateral Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if required).  All Proceeds of Security Collateral received by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds of Security Collateral while held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in such Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the relevant Grantor in trust for the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations of such Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 6.5.

6.5          Application of Proceeds.  It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the relevant Granting Party’s Collateral (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) received by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent (whether from the relevant Granting Party or otherwise) shall be held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, be applied by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing in the order of priority set forth in each applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

6.6          Code and Other Remedies.  Subject to subsection 3.3(d) hereof, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other applicable law.  Subject to subsection 3.3(d) hereof, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Granting Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, forthwith (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Security Collateral or any part

35

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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Security Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Granting Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Granting Party further agrees, at the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s request (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing), to assemble the Security Collateral and make it available to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent at places which the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Granting Party’s premises or elsewhere.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 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 Security Collateral or in any way relating to the Security Collateral or the rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Granting Party.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Granting Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Security Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Security Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

6.7          Registration Rights.

(a)           If the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Pledgor, subject to subsection 3.3(d) hereof, will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and use its reasonable best efforts to 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 reasonable opinion of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, are 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.  Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all states and the District of Columbia that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

36

(b)           Such Pledgor recognizes that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, 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.  Such Pledgor 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock 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)           Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable 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 such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law.  Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the U.S. ABL Collateral 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 subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Pledgor 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 or is continuing under the ABL Credit Agreement.

6.8          Waiver; Deficiency.  Each Granting Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Security Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Loans and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such Granting Party and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7          THE U.S. ABL COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1          U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a)           Each Granting Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and any authorized 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 Granting Party and in the name of such Granting Party 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 that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and in accordance with and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law) and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice or assent by such Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, and (y) each Grantor hereby gives the U.S. ABL Collateral

(i)      subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing 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 Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Security Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable;

(ii)     in the case of any Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Copyright, Patent, or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Security Collateral of such Grantor, 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; and

38

interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b)           The reasonable expenses of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans, from the date of payment by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Granting Party, shall be payable by such Granting Party to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent on demand.

(c)           Each Granting Party hereby ratifies all that said attorney 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 as to the relevant Granting Party until this Agreement is terminated as to such Granting Party, and the security interests in the Security Collateral of such Granting Party created hereby are released.

7.2          Duty of U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Security Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  None of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Security Collateral upon the request of any Granting Party or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Security Collateral or any part thereof.  The powers conferred on the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Security Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other 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 Granting Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3          Financing Statements.  Pursuant to any applicable law, each Granting Party authorizes the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Granting Party’s Security Collateral without the signature of such Granting Party in such form and in such filing offices as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent under this Agreement.  Each Granting Party authorizes the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to use any collateral description reasonably determined by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, including the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent agrees to notify the relevant Granting Party of any financing or continuation statement filed by it; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such filing.

7.4          Authority of U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.  Each Granting Party acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the

39

ABL Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Granting Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.5          Right of Inspection.  Upon reasonable written advance notice to any Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of such Grantor, and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Grantor agrees to render to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and its representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to such Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by such Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the ABL Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement).

SECTION 8          NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES

8.1          Rights to Collateral.

(a)           The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following:  (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the ABL Credit Agreement), or to direct the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to do the same, including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, the Security Documents); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with the Security Documents); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy which is provided by one or more Lenders among others (including on a priming basis under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code); (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy.

(b)           Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such

40

manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction.  The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral.  Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith.

(c)           Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled, subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties.  Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to be bound by and to comply with each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and authorizes the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf.

(d)           Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agrees that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Borrower Obligations and/or the Guarantor Obligations, and may release any Guarantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties.

8.2          Appointment of Agent.  Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, as agent under the ABL Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral.  It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.  It is understood and agreed that the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent has appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder.

8.3          Waiver of Claims.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person.  None of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any Lender or

41

any of their respective directors, officers, 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 the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person.

8.4          Designation of Non-Lender Secured Parties.   The Parent Borrower may from time to time designate a Person as a “Bank Products Affiliate” or a “Hedging Affiliate” hereunder by written notice to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent.  Upon being so designated by the Parent Borrower, such Bank Products Affiliate or Hedging Affiliate (as the case may be) shall be a Non-Lender Secured Party for the purposes of this Agreement for as long as so designated by the Parent Borrower; provided that, at the time of the Parent Borrower’s designation of such Non-Lender Secured Party, the obligations of such Grantor under the applicable Hedging Agreement or Bank Products Agreement (as the case may be) have not been designated as Cash Flow Collateral Obligations.

SECTION 9          MISCELLANEOUS

9.1          Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent; provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Granting Party may be waived by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and (b) if separately agreed in writing between the Parent Borrower and any Non-Lender Secured Party (and such Non-Lender Secured Party has been designated in writing by the Parent Borrower to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for purposes of this sentence, for so long as so designated), no such amendment, modification or waiver shall amend, modify or waive subsection 6.5 (or the definition of “Non-Lender Secured Party” or “Secured Party” to the extent relating thereto) if such amendment, modification or waiver would directly and adversely affect such Non-Lender Secured Party without the written consent of such Non-Lender Secured Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amendment, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification of or to any Intercreditor Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference herein to any Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying this Agreement, or any term or provision hereof, or any right or obligation of any Granting Party hereunder or in respect hereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.1.

9.2          Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any Granting Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the ABL 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, unless and until such Guarantor shall change such address by notice to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement.

9.3          No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.  None of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), 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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power

42

or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4          Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)           Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against any Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement against such Guarantor and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

(b)           Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Security Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) 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 (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Parent Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the ABL Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

(c)           The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the ABL Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.5          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Granting Parties, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Granting Party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, except as permitted hereby or by the ABL Credit Agreement.

9.6          Set-Off.  Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor and by each Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than the Collateral Proceeds Account), 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 the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the

43

Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect.  The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have.

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

9.8          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; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Foreign Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Pledgor (such laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.

9.9          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.

9.10        Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Granting Parties, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Granting Parties, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

9.11        GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(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; and

9.17        Judgment.

(a)           If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)           The obligations of any Guarantor in respect of this Agreement to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, for the benefit of each holder of Secured Obligations, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such holder is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such holder in the original currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, for the benefit of such holder, against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent agrees to remit to the Parent Borrower, such excess.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.18        Transfer Tax Acknowledgment.  Each party hereto acknowledges that the shares delivered hereunder are being transferred to and deposited with the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent (or other Person in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement) as collateral security for the Obligations and that this Section 9.18 is intended to be the certificate of exemption from New York stock transfer taxes for the purposes of complying with Section 270.5(b) of the Tax Law of the State of New York.

47

9.19        Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and continues, without interruption, the grant of security interests thereunder to the extent set forth herein.  No novation of any obligation is intended by the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor shall any such novation be deemed to have occurred because of the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
