(ii)         any
General Intangibles or other rights arising under any contracts (other than Accounts or the proceeds thereof), instruments, licenses

and Liens by such Grantor in respect of any additional Capital Securities of a foreign Subsidiary of such Grantor to the Agent,
for its benefit and the ratable benefit of each other Secured Party, under this Security Agreement would not reasonably be expected
to result in an increase in the tax liabilities of such Grantor over what such liabilities would have been without such security
interests and Liens, then, promptly after the change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness or interpretation of, any
such laws, rules, regulations, directives or guidelines, all such additional Capital Securities shall automatically, without further
action, be deemed to be and shall be subject to the security interests and Liens granted under this Security Agreement;

to any portion of such Property that does not result in any of such consequences, including any Proceeds of such property; and

such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral; and

Secured Party will have any obligation or liability under any contracts or agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this

With respect to the foregoing and the grant
of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other

as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect,
notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
terms in any Basic Document, if no Specified Default exists:


 


(i)          a
Grantor may retain for collection in the ordinary course of business checks representing proceeds of Accounts received in the ordinary
course of business;


 


(ii)         a

(iv)        a
Grantor may retain any Documents received and further negotiated in the ordinary course of business (except for Documents required
to be delivered to the Agent with respect to Inventory included in the Borrowing Base); and


 


(v)         a
Grantor shall not be required to:


 


(A)         cause
the Agent’s security interest to be noted on any certificate of title evidencing any Equipment;


 


(B)         grant
the Agent control over any Chattel Paper or Letter of Credit Right;


 


(C)         grant
the Agent control over any Security Account or Commodity Account unless such Collateral is included in the Borrowing Base; or


 


(D)         take
any action under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any jurisdiction located therein to create,
perfect or protect the security interest of the Agent in any Intellectual Property registered outside the United States of America.


 


If a Specific Default occurs and the Agent
requests, then the Grantors shall take such action as the Agent may reasonably request to perfect and protect the security interests
of the Agent in all of the Collateral including any of the Collateral described in clauses (A) through (D) above.


 


4.08         Deposit
Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified
Default, at the request of the Agent or the Required Banks, each Grantor will maintain all of its operating deposit accounts only
with the Agent, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., or with any depositary institution that has entered into an Account Control Agreement
in favor of the Agent. No Grantor will open any new operating deposit accounts located in the United States (other than payroll
accounts) not in existence on the date hereof without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of all Banks
(other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank which has issued a Letter of Credit pursuant to the last
sentence of the definition of Issuing Bank), and no Grantor will open any new Commodity Accounts or Security Accounts located in
the United States not in existence on the date hereof unless such Grantor shall have given the Agent thirty (30) days prior written
notice thereof. When no Specified Default exists, each Grantor may make purchases and sales of Investment Property in accordance
with the restrictions on investment set out in the Credit Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, may make any and all withdrawals
from its Deposit Accounts. When a Specified Default exists and the Agent provides the Company notice, no Grantor shall be authorized
to make purchases and sales of the Investment Property, be authorized to make any withdrawals from any Deposit Account and it shall
take such steps as Agent may reasonably request to give Agent control over all Investment Property and Deposit Accounts. No Grantor
will give any party control over any Investment Property or Deposit Account.

subject to the Ship Mortgage Act of 1920 or any aircraft and, subject to Section 4.07, shall take all action reasonably deemed
necessary or desirable by the Agent to create, perfect and protect its interest in such Collateral with the priority required by
the Credit Agreement.


 


4.10         Warehouse
Receipts Non Negotiable. Each Grantor agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt
is issued in respect of any portion of the Collateral, such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be negotiable

order, blank endorsed, and in the possession of the Grantor or the Agent.

THE AGENT


 


5.01         Agent
Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in
the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which
the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:


 


(a)          to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due
under or in respect of any of the Collateral;


 


(b)          to
receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a)
above;


 


(c)          to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and


 


(d)          to
perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.


 




    	Security Agreement, Page 19



    	 



    

 


Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents
and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.


 


5.02         Agent
May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein or in any other Basic Document, the Agent may itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by such Grantor pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement.


 


5.03         Agent
Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties)
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral
in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral
or responsibility for:


 


(a)          ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment
Property, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or


 


(b)          taking
any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.


 


5.04         Reasonable
Care. The Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided that the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the
Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Default, but failure of the Agent to comply with any such request at any
time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.


 


Section
6



REMEDIES


 


6.01         Certain
Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Required Banks shall have demanded payment
of and Cash Collateral (if applicable) for the Obligations:


 


(a)          The
Agent may, with the consent of the Required Banks, and, upon request of the Required Banks, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral,
in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Secured
Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, with the consent of the
Required Banks, and, upon request of the Required Banks, shall:


 


(i)          take
possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;


 


(ii)         require
each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Agent forthwith, assemble
all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent
that is reasonably convenient to both parties;


 


(iii)        enter
onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process;


 




    	Security Agreement, Page 20



    	 



    

 


(iv)        without
notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make
any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned.


 


(b)          All
cash Proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied by the Agent as provided in the Credit Agreement (but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement).


 


(c)          The
Agent may, with the consent of the Required Banks, and, upon request of the Required Banks, shall:


 


(i)          transfer
all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is
subject to the Lien hereunder;


 


(ii)         notify
the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder;


 


(iii)        withdraw,
or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account;


 


(iv)        enforce
collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise
or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with
respect thereto;


 


(v)         endorse
any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;


 


(vi)        take
control of any Proceeds of the Collateral; and


 


(vii)       execute
(in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to all or any of the Collateral.


 


6.02         Securities
Laws.


 


(a)          If
the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.01, each
Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Agent, each Grantor will, at its own expense:


 


(i)          execute
and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause)
each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments
and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Agent,
advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities
Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period
as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus
which, in the opinion of the Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;


 




    	Security Agreement, Page 21



    	 



    

 


(ii)         use
its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary
governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Agent;


 


(iii)        cause
(or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of a Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make
available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act; and


 


(iv)        do
or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof
valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.


 


(b)          Each
Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Agent or the Secured
Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees
that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an
amount equal to the value (as determined by the Agent) of such Collateral on the date the Agent shall demand compliance with this
Section.


 


6.03         Compliance
with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default exists or at
any time after a demand for payment of and Cash Collateral (if applicable) for the Obligations
by the Required Banks shall have been made, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection
with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance
with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and
purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral),
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such
Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Agent be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason
of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.


 


6.04         Protection
of Collateral. The Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform with respect
to the maintenance, preservation and protection of the Collateral after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood
that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at any time after
a demand for payment of and Cash Collateral (if applicable) for the Obligations by the Required
Banks shall have been made) and the Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Agent deems necessary for the maintenance,
preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.


 




    	Security Agreement, Page 22



    	 



    

 


6.05         Standards
for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable
manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material for work-in-process
into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral
to be disposed of, or to obtain or if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the
collection or disposition of the Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against
account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against the Collateral; (d)
to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of
collection agencies and other collection specialists; (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media
of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (f) to contact other persons, whether or not
in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral; (g) to hire one
or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature; (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in
the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (i) to dispose of
assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (j) to disclaim disposition warranties; (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements
to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide Agent a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral; (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent in its commercially reasonable discretion,
to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals (including Agent and its affiliates)
to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral; or (m) to comply with any applicable state or federal
law requirement in connection with the disposition or collection of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that this Section
is intended to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable
in Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely by not being included in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section
shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties upon Agent that would not have been granted or imposed
by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

for each of the Secured Parties.


 


WITNESSETH:


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to
