provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 2 (and notwithstanding any recording of the Junior Agent’s Lien in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other registry office in any jurisdiction), this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in, and the Collateral shall not include, (i) any property or assets designated as “Excluded Property” pursuant to paragraph (c) of the definition of “Permitted Investment” in the Junior Note Indenture or (ii) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable Law of an Official Body, requires a consent not obtained of any Official Body pursuant to such Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case of any Investment Property, or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the extent that such Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable Law including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC (or any successor provision or provisions); provided, further, that no security interest shall be granted in United States “intent-to-use” trademark or service mark application unless and until acceptable evidence of use of the trademark or service mark has been filed with and accepted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (U.S.C. 1051, et. seq.), and to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark or service mark applications under applicable federal Law.

has been filed and accepted, each Grantor acknowledges that such interest in such trademark or service mark applications will become part of the Collateral. The Junior Agent agrees that, at any Grantor’s reasonable request and expense, it will provide such Grantor confirmation that the assets described in this paragraph are in fact excluded from the Collateral during such limited period only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any Guarantor, then the capital stock or other securities of such Guarantor shall automatically be deemed released and not to be and not to have been part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, this Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Junior Noteholder, to the extent necessary to evidence the release of the lien created hereby on the shares of capital stock or other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral.

The Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if requested in writing by the Junior 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 two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Perfection Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Perfection Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Perfection Agent to be applied (x) prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, in accordance with the First Lien Security Agreement, (y) following the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims but prior to the Discharge of Senior Claims, in accordance with the Senior Noteholder Security Agreement and (z) following the Discharge of Senior Claims, pursuant to Section 6.4 below, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Perfection Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.

(c) At the Junior Agent’s written request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Perfection 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) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Agent in its own name or in the name of others may after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Junior Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts. The Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the written request of the Junior 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, as the case may be, have been assigned to the Junior Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Junior 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. Neither the Junior Agent nor any Secured 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 the Junior Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Junior Agent or any Secured 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 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Junior Agent.

In addition to the rights of the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon written request from the Junior Agent, 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 Perfection Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Perfection Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Perfection Agent, if requested). All Proceeds received by the Perfection Agent hereunder shall be held by the Perfection Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All such Proceeds while held by the Perfection Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4.

6.4 Application of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Junior Agent’s election, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and to any Collateral Agency Agreement, the Junior Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral, whether or not held in the Deposit Accounts, the Securities Accounts or any other Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Junior Note Indenture.

6.5 Code and Other Remedies.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Junior 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 Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Junior Agent, without prior demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any prior 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), may in such circumstances, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, 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 the Junior Agent or any 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 Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of remedies in the proceeding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of such remedies or the Junior Agent’s rights hereunder. The Junior Agent or any Secured Party 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 Junior Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Junior Agent at places which the Junior Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Junior Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, 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 Junior Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Junior Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Junior 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 Junior 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 the Junior Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any prior notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of 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.

6.6 Subordination.

Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Junior Agent, all Indebtedness owing to it by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

6.7 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 the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Junior Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE JUNIOR AGENT

7.1 Junior Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. etc.

(a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Junior 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 Junior Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without prior 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 Junior 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, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Junior Agent may request to evidence the Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantors 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 6.5, any endorsements, 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 Junior Agent or as the Junior 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 Junior Agent may 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), through the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, in such manner, as the Junior 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 Junior Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Junior Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Junior Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

The Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights in the preceding clause (a), provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Junior 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 expenses of the Junior Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with, if past due, interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, from the date when due to the Junior Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Junior Agent upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice.

(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.

7.2 Duty of Junior Agent.

The Junior 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 Junior Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Junior Agent, any Secured 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 Junior Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Junior Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Junior Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements.

Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Junior 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 Junior Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Junior Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Junior Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any

such financing statements or in any other manner that the Junior Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.

7.4 Authority of Junior Agent.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Junior Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Junior Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Junior 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 Junior Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Junior Note Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Junior Agent and the Grantors, the Junior 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 Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

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 Article 9 of the Junior Note Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer and the Junior Agent may, without the need to obtain the consent of the Junior Noteholders, amend, supplement or otherwise modify any provision hereof or of any other Junior Noteholder Collateral Document (including by entering into any Collateral Agency Agreement or any other new or supplemental agreements) to reflect and give effect to the matters referred to in the definition of Collateral Agency Agreement in connection with the incurrence of Additional Secured Obligations and the granting of Additional Junior Liens, to the extent such incurrence or grant is permitted by, and in accordance with, the Junior Note Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement.

8.2 Notices.

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Junior Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 13.03 of the Junior Note Indenture.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.

Neither the Junior Agent nor any Secured 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 the Junior Agent or any Secured 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 the Junior Agent or any 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 Junior Agent or such 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.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Junior Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Junior Noteholder Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Junior Agent and the Secured 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 Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Junior Agent and the Secured 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 Issuer would be required to do so pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Junior Note Indenture except those resulting from the Junior Agent’s or any Secured Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and termination of the Junior Noteholder 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 Junior Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that except as permitted by the Junior Note Indenture, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Junior Agent.

8.6 Set-Off.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Junior Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply 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 the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Junior Note Indenture or any other Junior Noteholder Document, as the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Junior Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Junior Agent and each other Secured Party shall endeavor to notify the Issuer promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Junior 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 Junior Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section 8.6 are in

addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Junior Agent or such other Secured 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.

(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
