 (ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor
receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such

validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be
deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such
Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in the normal course of the

to the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) Delivery and Control. 

(i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which it currently has rights (provided,
however, that (A) in the case of Investment Related Property that is Pledged Debt, only in the event it

and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) immediately upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, with respect to any Investment Related Property that is represented by a certificate or that is an “instrument” (other than any Investment Related Property constituting Collateral
credited to a Securities Account or any “instrument” evidencing a face amount of less than $100,000 or an aggregate of all such “instruments” evidencing a face amount of less than $500,000) it shall cause such certificate or

Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral. 
 (b) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an
indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to the
Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

  

 37 








 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after
obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 10 annexed to the Collateral Questionnaire (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title
or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any
Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest. 
 5.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to
the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart Agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart agreement to the Collateral Agent, notice of
which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder
shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully
effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder. 

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. 

6.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an
interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any
action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following: 

(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by
such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (b)
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

 (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or
other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above; 
  

 38 








 (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any
claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the
Collateral; 
 (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor; 

(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security
interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor; 
 (g) to take or cause to be taken
all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened
against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such
Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and 
 (h) subject to the terms hereof, generally
to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral
Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s
security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 

6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely
to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral 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. 
 SECTION 7. REMEDIES. 

7.1 Generally. 

(a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise 
  

 39 








 available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under
the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or
simultaneously: 
 (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and
promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; 
 (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process; 
 (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process,
repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and 

(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or
nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or
times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. 
 (b) The
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or
the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the 

 

 40 








 time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any
Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.
If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such
deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. 

7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement,
all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in
the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities
and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances
made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties and
third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to the payment to or upon the order 
  

 41 








 of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. 
 7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor
will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and
Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. 
 7.4 Controlled Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

 (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and for the
avoidance of doubt, not prior thereto), the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Controlled Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Controlled Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any such Controlled Deposit
Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing (and for the avoidance of doubt, not prior thereto), the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Securities Account consisting of Cash or Cash Equivalents or instruct the bank at which any Securities
Account consisting of Cash or Cash Equivalents is maintained to pay the balance of any such Cash or Cash Equivalents to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 

7.5 Investment Related Property. 

Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state
securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges
that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause
each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to 

 

 42 








 determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related
Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 

7.6 Intellectual Property. 

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any
action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do
any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in
connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable
measures to the extent consistent with its ordinary business practice, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and
for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain to the extent consistent with its ordinary business practice any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation; 

(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the
Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate
to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms of all applicable agreements; 

(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations
outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; 

(iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available
to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job
responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the 
  

 43 








 products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the
Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent
with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and 
 (v) the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created
herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; 
  

	 	(1)	all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and 

  

	 	(2)	other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices prior to the occurrence of the relevant Event of Default, Grantor shall not adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. 


(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer
be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been
previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver
to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid,
subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies
of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties. 
  

 44 








 (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 7 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of
invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. 

7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.3 with respect to payments of
Receivables, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be
held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii), be turned over to the Collateral
Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a
Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured
or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral
security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing. 

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT. 

The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof,
the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its
acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely
by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Grantors, and
Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent signed by the Requisite Lenders. 

 

 45 








 Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five
(5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly
(i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the
successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or
appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS. 

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment
in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Term Loan Commitments, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any
other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Term
Loan Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense,
execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Credit
Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s
expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such
release. 
  

 46 








 SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. 

The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any
Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor
under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit
Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor
shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof 
  


 47 








 and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous
or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that
all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. 
 THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

 EXHIBIT A 

TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

PLEDGE SUPPLEMENT 

This PLEDGE SUPPLEMENT, dated [mm/dd/yy], is delivered by [NAME OF GRANTOR] a [NAME OF STATE OF
INCORPORATION] [Corporation] (the “Grantor”) pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of [mm/dd/yy] (as it may be from time to time amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the
“Security Agreement”), among J. CREW OPERATING CORP., the other Grantors named therein, and GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as the Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Security Agreement.

 Exhibit C-1 








 
whether the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent is the Controlling Party hereunder and shall be under no obligation to make any independent investigation thereof.

 Section 1. Establishment of Securities Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

 (a) The Securities Intermediary has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name
“[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Securities Account”) and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the Securities Account without
the prior written consent of the Controlling Party; 
 (b) All securities or other property underlying any financial assets
credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary
and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially
indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank; 
 (c) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to
the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and 
 (d) The Securities Account is a
“securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC. 
 Section 2. “Financial
Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the
Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. 

Section 3. Control of the Securities Account. 

(a) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Controlling Party directing transfer or redemption of any
financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and
such orders conflict with any entitlement order issued by the Controlling Party, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the Controlling Party. 

(b) Without limiting or impairing the perfection by control of the security interest of the Second Lien Secured Party at any time prior
to the receipt by the Securities Intermediary of a Controlling Party Notice (as defined herein) from the First Lien Secured Party, the parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated or given to
the Securities Intermediary by the Second Lien 
  

 Exhibit C-2 








 
Secured Party directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account without further consent by the Debtor if and only if (i) such instructions are
consented to by the First Lien Secured Party or (ii) the Securities Intermediary has received a Controlling Party Notice from the First Lien Secured Party. 

Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently
obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the
security interest of the Collateral Agents. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral
Agents (except that the Securities Intermediary may set off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii) the face
amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds). 

Section 5. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Securities Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New
York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as
well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements. 

(a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter
entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; 
 (b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any
right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; 
 (c)
The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (i) There are no other control agreements entered
into between the Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account; 
 (ii) It has
not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with
entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other person; and 
  

 Exhibit C-3 








 (iii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement,
will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agents purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3 hereof. 

Section 7. Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agents and of the Debtor in the Securities
Account, the Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Securities Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities Account or in any financial asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify
the Collateral Agents and the Debtor thereof. 
 Section 8. Maintenance of Securities Account. In addition to, and
not in lieu of, the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to honor entitlement orders as agreed in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain the Securities Account as follows: 

(a) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Controlling Party delivers to the Securities Intermediary a Notice of Sole Control
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Securities Intermediary agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Securities Account solely from the Controlling Party. 

(b) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to subsection
(a) of this Section 8, the Debtor shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to the Securities Account. 

(c) Permitted Investments. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the
Controlling Party, the Debtor shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the selection of investments to be made for the Securities Account; provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary shall not honor any instruction to
purchase any investments other than investments of a type described on Exhibit B hereto. 
 (d) Statements and
Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Debtor
and the Collateral Agents at the address for each set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement. 
 (e) Tax Reporting.
All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in the Securities Account shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Debtor.

  

 Exhibit C-4 








 Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Securities Intermediary.
The Securities Intermediary hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants:

Account has been established as set forth in Section 1 above and such Securities Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Agreement; and 

(b) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT 

This Deposit Account Control Agreement (“Control Agreement”) dated as

herein) (in such capacity as collateral agent, including its successors and assigns from time to time, the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), and GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as collateral agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties referred to in the Second Lien Security Agreement (as defined herein) (in such capacity as collateral agent, including its successors and assigns from time to time, the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”; together with
the First Lien Collateral Agent, the “Collateral Agents”) and                     , in its capacity as a

Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2004 by and among J. Crew Operating Corp., J. Crew Inc., Grace Holmes, Inc., H.F.D. No. 55, Inc., the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto (the “First Lien

Agreement, the “Security Agreements”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Security Agreements. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as

Institution with a written notice that First Lien Collateral Agent has ceased to be the “Controlling Party” hereunder (such notice being the “Controlling Party Notice”) (which notice is to be given at the time all
obligations owing to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Lenders (the “First Lien Secured Parties”) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, all commitments of the First Lien Collateral Agent and First Lien
Secured Parties to provide credit to or for the benefit of the Debtor have terminated and all financing agreements among the First Lien Collateral Agent, First Lien Secured Parties, the Debtor and its affiliates have terminated), “Controlling

 Exhibit D-1 








 
or the Second Lien Collateral Agent is the Controlling Party hereunder and shall be under no obligation to make any independent investigation thereof. 

Section 1. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 

(a) The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE
OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the
Controlling Party and, prior to delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Debtor; and 

(b) The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29)of the UCC. 

Section 2. Control of the Deposit Account. 

(a) If at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any instructions originated by the Controlling Party directing the disposition
of funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. The Financial Institution hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security
interest of the Collateral Agents in the Deposit Account and hereby acknowledges and consents to such liens. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and such instructions conflict with any instructions issued the Controlling Party,
the Financial Institution shall follow the instructions issued by the Controlling Party. 
 (b) Without limiting or impairing
the perfection by control of the security interest of the Second Lien Secured Party at any time prior to the receipt by the Financial Institution of a Controlling Party Notice from the First Lien Secured Party, the parties hereto agree that the
Financial Institution shall comply with instructions originated or given to the Financial Institution by the Second Lien Secured Party directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account without further consent by the Debtor if and only if
(i) such instructions are consented to by the First Lien Secured Party or (ii) the Financial Institution has received a Controlling Party Notice from the First Lien Secured Party. 

Section 3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains
by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Deposit Account or any funds credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the
Collateral Agents. Money and other items credited to the Deposit Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agents (except that the Financial Institution
may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and 
  

 Exhibit D-2 








 
expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently
returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds). 
 Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the
Deposit Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the
meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements. 

(a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter
entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; 
 (b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any
right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; and 

(c) The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 

(i) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Debtor with respect to the
Deposit Account [other than                    ]; and 

(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any
other person relating the Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section 9-104 of the UCC. 

Section 6. Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution does not know of any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the
Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly
notify the Collateral Agents and the Debtor thereof. 
 Section 7. Maintenance of Deposit Account. In addition to,
and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Financial Institution agrees to maintain the Deposit Account as follows: 

(a) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Controlling Party delivers to the Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Deposit Account solely from the Controlling Party. 

 

 Exhibit D-3 








 (b) Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies
of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Deposit Account simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the Collateral Agents at the address for each set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement; and 

(c) Tax Reporting. All interest, if any, relating to the Deposit Account, shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and
allstate and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Debtor. 
 Section 8.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants: 

(a) The Deposit Account has been established as set forth in Section 1 and such Deposit Account will be maintained in the manner set
forth herein until termination of this Agreement; and 
 (b) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Financial Institution.

hereby agree that (a) the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Debtor and the Collateral Agents arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof,

negligence or willful misconduct, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the same, until the termination of this Agreement.

 Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law. The Collateral Agents may assign their rights hereunder only with the express written
