THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT




          THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT dated May 18, 2009 made by GRUBB & ELLIS
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the other Persons listed on the signature pages
hereof and the Additional Grantors (as defined in Section 25) (the Borrower, the Persons so listed
and the Additional Grantors being, collectively, the “Grantors”), to DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY
AMERICAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative
agent appointed pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement).




          PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.




          (1) The Borrower has entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
May 18, 2009 (said Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lender Parties and the
Administrative Agent (each as defined therein).




          (2) Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Grantors are entering into this Agreement in order
to grant to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security
interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined).




          (3) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity Interests (the “Initial
Pledged Equity”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of
Schedule II hereto and issued by the Persons named therein and of the indebtedness (the “Initial
Pledged Debt”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part II of
Schedule II hereto and issued by the obligors named therein.




          (4) The Borrower has security entitlements (the “Pledged Security Entitlements”) with respect
to all the financial assets (the “Pledged Financial Assets”) credited from time to time to the
Borrower’s accounts (the “Securities Accounts”), as described in Part III of Schedule VII hereto.




          (5) The Borrower has opened the Automated Clearing House deposit accounts (the “ACH Deposit
Accounts”), as described in Part I of Schedule VII hereto, and the other deposit accounts (the
“Other Deposit Accounts” and, together with the ACH Deposit Accounts, the “Deposit Accounts”), as
described in Part II of Schedule VII hereto.




          (6) A Letter of Credit collateral deposit account has been opened with Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, in the name of the Administrative Agent and under the sole control and dominion
of the Administrative Agent (the “L/C Collateral Account”).




          (7) It is a condition precedent to the making of Advances and the issuance of Letters of
Credit by the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement and the entry into Secured Hedge Agreements
by the Hedge Banks from time to time that the Grantors shall have granted the assignment and
security interest and made the pledge and assignment contemplated by this Agreement.




          (8) Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.




          (9) Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used
in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, unless otherwise



 









 






defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the
UCC (as defined below) and/or in the Federal Book Entry Regulations (as defined below) are used in
this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9 and/or the Federal Book Entry
Regulations. “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect, from time to time, in the State
of New York; provided that, if perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the
priority of any security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions
hereof relating to such perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection or priority. The term
“Federal Book Entry Regulations” means (a) the federal regulations contained in Subpart B
(“Treasury/Reserve Automated Debt Entry System (TRADES)”) governing book-entry securities
consisting of U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and Subpart D (“Additional Provisions”) of 31
C.F.R. Part 357, 31 C.F.R. § 357.2, § 357.10 through § 357.15 and § 357.40 through § 357.45 and (b)
to the extent substantially identical to the federal regulations referred to in clause (a) above
(as in effect from time to time), the federal regulations governing other book-entry securities.




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lender Parties to
make Advances and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and to induce the Hedge Banks
to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time, each Grantor hereby agrees with the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:




          Section 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, such Grantor’s right, title and
interest in and to the following, in each case, as to each type of property described below,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever located, and whether now or
hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”):





     (a) all equipment in all of its forms, including, without limitation, all machinery,
tools, motor vehicles, vessels, aircraft, furniture and fixtures, and all parts thereof and
all accessions thereto and all software related thereto, including, without limitation,
software that is embedded in and is part of the equipment (any and all such property being
the “Equipment”);




     (b) all inventory in all of its forms, including, without limitation, (i) all raw
materials, work in process, finished goods and materials used or consumed in the

(iii) goods that are returned to or repossessed or stopped in transit by such Grantor), and
all accessions thereto and products thereof and documents therefor, and all software related
thereto, including, without limitation, software that is embedded in and is part of the

     (c) all accounts, chattel paper (including, without limitation, tangible chattel paper
and electronic chattel paper), instruments (including, without limitation, promissory

whether or not earned by performance, and all rights now or hereafter existing in and to all
supporting obligations and in and to all security agreements, mortgages, Liens, leases,
letters of credit and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to the foregoing
property (any and all of such accounts, chattel

2

Liens, leases, letters of credit and other contracts being the “Related Contracts”);
provided however that the security interest granted under this Section 1(c) shall not attach
to any of the Receivables or Related Contracts that by their terms, prohibit or require the
consent of any Person (other than the Grantor) as a condition to the creation by such
Grantor of a lien thereon, but only, in all cases, to the extent, and for so long as, such
prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by
the UCC or any other applicable law;




(d) the following (the “Security Collateral”):




     (i) the Initial Pledged Equity and the certificates, if any, representing the
Initial Pledged Equity, and all dividends, distributions, return of capital, cash,

Equity and all subscription warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with
respect thereto;




     (ii) the Initial Pledged Debt and the instruments, if any, evidencing the
Initial Pledged Debt, and all interest, cash, instruments and other property from

     (iii) all additional shares of stock and other Equity Interests from time to

and all dividends, distributions, return of capital, cash, instruments and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect
of or in exchange for any or all of such shares or other Equity Interests and all
subscription warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with respect thereto;




     (iv) all additional indebtedness from time to time owed to such Grantor (such

instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such indebtedness;




     (v) the Securities Accounts, all Pledged Security Entitlements with respect to
all Pledged Financial Assets from time to time credited to the Securities Accounts,

receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of

3









 






distributed in respect of or in exchange for any

issued thereon or with respect thereto;




     (e) each of the Material Contracts to which such Grantor is now or may hereafter become
a party, the IP Agreements (as hereinafter defined), and each Hedge Agreement to which such
Grantor is now or may hereafter become a party, in each case as such agreements may be
amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time
(collectively, the “Assigned Agreements”), including, without limitation, (i) all rights of
such Grantor to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to the Assigned

warranty or guaranty with respect to the Assigned Agreements, (iii) claims of such Grantor
for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Assigned Agreements and

or default for Grantor to grant the security interest contemplated by this Section 1(e) or
would require the consent of any Person (other than the Grantor) as a condition to the
creation by the Grantor of a lien thereunder.

foregoing, including, without limitation, those registrations and applications for

5









 






     (h) all commercial tort claims described in Schedule IX hereto (collectively the
“Commercial Tort Claims Collateral”);




     (i) all books and records (including, without limitation, customer lists, credit files,

     (j) all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now or
hereafter due and payable with respect to, and supporting obligations relating to, any and
all of the Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds, collateral and supporting
obligations that constitute property of the types described in clauses (a) through (i) of
this Section 1 and this clause (j)) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all (A)
payments under insurance (whether or not the Administrative Agent is the loss payee
thereof), or any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, payable by reason of loss or damage to or
otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral, (B) tort claims, including,
without limitation, all commercial tort claims and (C) cash.



          Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the
payment of all Obligations of each Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents,
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement
obligations, interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action,
costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the “Secured Obligations”).




          Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each
Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its
duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no
Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party
be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any
action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.




          Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of
the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or
shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have the
right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to
register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security
Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 15(a). For the better
perfection of the Administrative Agent’s rights in and to the Security Collateral, each Grantor
shall forthwith, upon the pledge hereunder of any Security Collateral in which it has any right,
title or interest, cause such Security Collateral to be registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or such of its nominees as the Administrative Agent shall direct, subject only
to the revocable rights specified in Section 15(a). In addition, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of
smaller or larger denominations. Also, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any
time to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the Securities
Accounts to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the
Administrative
Agent, and to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the




6









 







Administrative Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the
Securities Accounts.




          (b) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor will cause the issuer
thereof either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such security or
(ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such
issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Administrative
Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. With respect to any Security Collateral in
which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that is not an uncertificated security, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged
Equity that such Pledged Equity is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.




          (c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes a security entitlement in which the Administrative Agent is not the
entitlement holder, such Grantor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such
security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Administrative Agent as the
entitlement holder of such security entitlement against such securities intermediary or (ii) to
agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such
securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications communicated to
such securities intermediary directing transfer or redemption of the financial asset to which such
Grantor has a security entitlement) originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent
of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto or
otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such agreement being a
“Securities Account Control Agreement”).




          (d) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes a commodity contract, such Grantor shall cause the commodity
intermediary with respect to such commodity contract to agree in an authenticated record with such
Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such commodity intermediary will apply any value
distributed on account of such commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent without
further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form of
Exhibit E hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such
agreement being a “Commodity Account Control Agreement”, and all such authenticated records,
together with all Securities Account Control Agreements being, collectively, “Security Control
Agreements”).




          (e) No Grantor will change or add any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary that
maintains any securities account or commodity account in which any of the Collateral is credited or
carried, or change or add any such securities account or commodity account, in each case without
first complying with the above provisions of this Section 4 in order to perfect the security
interest granted hereunder in such Collateral.




          (f) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of

as “Pledged Joint Venture Investments” and “Pledged REIT Investments” so long as such

          Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of
any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding, any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any
Commitment:





     (a) Each Grantor will maintain all Account Collateral only with the Administrative
Agent or with banks (the “Pledged Account Banks”) that have agreed, in a record
authenticated by the Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the Pledged Account Banks, to (i)
comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of
funds in the Account Collateral without the further consent of the Grantor and (ii) waive or
subordinate in favor of the Administrative Agent all claims of the Pledged Account Banks
(including, without limitation, claims by way of a security interest, lien or right of
setoff or right of recoupment) to the Account Collateral, which authenticated record shall

shall have received, in the case of a bank or Pledged Account Bank that is not the
Administrative Agent, an Account Control Agreement authenticated by such new bank and such
Grantor, or a supplement to an existing Account Control Agreement with such then existing
Pledged Account Bank, covering such new deposit account (and, upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such Account Control Agreement or supplement, Schedule VII hereto
shall be automatically amended to include such Deposit Account). Each Grantor agrees that
it will not terminate any bank as a Pledged Account Bank or terminate any Account
Collateral.




     (d) Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Deposit Account by such Grantor, or any
Pledged Account Bank with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately (i) transfer all

in Part II of Schedule VII and (ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such
Deposit



8









 






Account to make all future payments to another Deposit Account listed in Part II of

terminate any or all Account Collateral and Account Control Agreements upon request by the
Administrative Agent.




     (e) The Borrower may draw checks on, and otherwise withdraw amounts only from, the

Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount
(including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid
or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or
any other Person from the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may
be.




     (g) The Administrative Agent may, (i) at any time and without notice to, or consent

satisfy the Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) at any time after the Collateral Account has been opened
and without notice to, or consent from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of,
funds from the Deposit Accounts to the Collateral Account.



          Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account. The
Administrative Agent will, subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 23, at any time after the

time (a) invest, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to invest, amounts received with
respect to the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited
to (A) the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, respectively, as the Borrower may
select and the Administrative Agent may approve or (B) in the case of Cash Equivalents consisting
of Securities Collateral, a securities account in which the Administrative Agent is the securities
intermediary or a securities account subject to a Securities Account Control Agreement, and (b)
invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a) above, and reinvest other
proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash
Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested
in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the relevant Collateral
Account or L/C Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at
any time to exchange, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to exchange, such Cash
Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash
Equivalents, credited to the Collateral Account or the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may be.




          Section 7. Release of Amounts. So long as no Default under Section 6.01(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release, or
direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the Borrower or at its order or,
at the request of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents, in the case of the L/C Collateral Account, such amount, if any,
as is then on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account to the extent permitted to be released under
the terms of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Collateral Account, the amount, if any,
by which the aggregate principal amount of the Cash Equivalents credited to the Collateral

letter-of-credit rights in the manner specified in Section 9-107 of the UCC; and




     (c) Each Grantor will immediately give notice to the Administrative Agent of any
commercial tort claim that may arise in the future and will immediately execute or otherwise

to the Administrative Agent by the insurer. Each Grantor will, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies
to comply with the requirements of Section 11 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such
assignment.




          (b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this
Section 12 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred liability covered by such
insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of
this Section 12 is not applicable, the applicable Grantor will make or cause to be made the
necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
properly received by or released to such Grantor shall be used by such Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder
or by the Credit Agreement, to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or
replacements.




16









 








          (c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance
payments received by the Administrative Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of
any Inventory or Equipment will be released by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor
for the repair, replacement or restoration thereof, subject to such terms and conditions with
respect to the release thereof as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. To the extent
that (i) the amount of any such insurance payments exceeds the cost of any such repair, replacement
or restoration, or (ii) such insurance payments are not otherwise required by the applicable
Grantor to complete any such repair, replacement or restoration required hereunder, the
Administrative Agent will not be required to release the amount thereof to such Grantor and may
hold or continue to hold such amount in the Collateral Account as additional security for the
Secured Obligations of such Grantor (except that the Administrative Agent will direct the
applicable Pledged Account Bank to release to such Grantor any such amount if and to the extent
that any prepayment of Obligations is required under the Credit Agreement in connection with the
receipt of such amount and such prepayment has been made). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default or the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of $500,000
per occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment
or Inventory shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and shall, in the Administrative Agent’s
sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor to be applied as set forth in the first
sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as
specified in Section 23(b).




          Section 13. Post-Closing Changes; Bailees; Collections on Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related
Contracts. (a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of
organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Section 9(a)
of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent and taking all action required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of perfecting or
protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. No Grantor will change the location of
the Equipment and Inventory or the place where it keeps the originals of the Assigned Agreements
and Related Contracts to which such Grantor is a party and all originals of all chattel paper that
evidence Receivables of such Grantor from the locations therefor specified in Sections 9(a) and
9(b) without first giving the Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior written notice of such change.
No Grantor will become bound by a security agreement authenticated by another Person (determined as
provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC) without giving the Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior
written notice thereof and taking all action required by the Administrative Agent to ensure that
the perfection and first priority nature of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral will be maintained. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the Assigned Agreements and Related Contracts, and will
permit representatives of the Administrative Agent at any time during normal business hours to
inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If the Grantor does not have an
organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the
Administrative Agent of such organizational identification number.




          (b) If any Collateral of any Grantor is at any time in the possession or control of a
warehouseman, bailee or agent, or if the Administrative Agent so requests such Grantor will (i)
notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the security interest created hereunder, (ii) instruct
such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral solely for the Administrative
Agent’s account subject only to the Administrative Agent’s instructions (which shall permit such
Collateral to be removed by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the
Administrative Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii)
use commercially reasonable efforts, to cause such warehouseman, bailee or agent to authenticate a
record acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral for the Administrative Agent’s
benefit and shall act solely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent without the further
consent of the Grantor or any other Person, and (iv) make such authenticated record available to
the Administrative Agent.




17









 








          (c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), each Grantor will continue to
collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Assigned
Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor
may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, will take) such action as such Grantor or
the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned
Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent
shall have the right at any time, upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to
notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the
assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Administrative
Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such
Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the
expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and
Related Contracts, 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, and to otherwise exercise all rights
with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without
limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of
the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence,
(i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor
in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith, but in no event prior to the date on which the
Collateral Account has been opened, paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral Account and either
(A) released to such Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 7 so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, applied as provided in Section 23(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or
Related Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount
thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any
of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or
obligations of the Obligor thereof.




          Section 14. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect to each item of its
Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all necessary steps,
including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office
and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such
Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force
and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or
copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property
Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes,
the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or
extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing
of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions,
the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition,
cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for
patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use
or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in
the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such
abandonment to the Administrative Agent.




18









 








          (b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if such Grantor becomes
aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed
in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development
regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to
register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse
determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution
of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the
Intellectual Property Collateral.




          (c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor or the
Administrative Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce
such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or
misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.




          (d) Each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each item of
its Intellectual Property Collateral. No Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to
do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or
unenforceable or placed in the public domain.




          (e) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it or the Administrative Agent deems reasonable
and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual
Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products
or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality
of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that
all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.




          (f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or
otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto or
otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (an “Intellectual Property
Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Administrative
Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest
hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.




          (g) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type
set forth in Section 1(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall
automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the
case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect
thereto. Each Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent identifying the
After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental
authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired
Intellectual Property.

(f) of the Credit Agreement or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:




19

rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any
purpose other than originate Entitlement Orders (as defined in any Securities Account

such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or
any part thereof.

interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor

cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

as so received (with any necessary indorsement).




     (iii) The Administrative Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and

(y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 15(a)(ii) shall automatically cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other
consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest
and other distributions.




     (ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor
contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 15(b) shall be received in trust

     (iii) The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to send to each Securities
Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary as defined in and under any Security Control
Agreement a Notice of Exclusive Control as defined in and under such Security Control

     Section 16. As to the Assigned Agreements. (a) Each Grantor will at its expense:




     (i) perform and observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be
performed or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in full

L/C and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the
proceeds thereof in substantially the form of the Consent to Assignment of Letter of Credit Rights
attached hereto as Exhibit H or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative

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, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument
that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation:





     (a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 12,




     (b) to ask for, 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

     (c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and

Agreement or the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.



          Section 21. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without
notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under
Section 24.




          Section 22. The Administrative Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Administrative
Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral
in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or
as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.




          (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent may
from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more
subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral. In the event that the Administrative Agent so appoints any Subagent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security
interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this
Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such
Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Administrative Agent,
with all rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral,
and (iii) the term “Administrative Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers,
privileges, interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral,
shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take
any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized
in writing by the Administrative Agent.




          Section 23. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:





     (a) The Administrative Agent may 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 upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies
to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent
and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by
the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice
except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and upon



23









 







such other terms as the Administrative Agent may
deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the
Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all
rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all
rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related
Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all
funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies
with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the
other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the
UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten 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
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Administrative 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) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash proceeds
received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of
the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then
or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 24) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, in the following manner:




     (i) first, paid to the Administrative Agent for any amounts then owing to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise
under the Loan Documents; and




     (ii) second, ratably (A) paid to the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks,
respectively, for any amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under
the Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to
such Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks, provided that, for purposes of this Section
23, the amount owing to any such Hedge Bank pursuant to any Secured Hedge Agreement
to which it is a party (other than any amount therefore accrued and unpaid) shall be
deemed to be equal to the Agreement Value therefor and (B) deposited as Collateral
in the L/C Collateral Account up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate
Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that in the event
that any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the
Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the L/C Collateral
Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, provided further that, to the extent
that any such Letter of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result
thereof the amount of the Collateral in the L/C Collateral Account shall exceed 100%
of the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit, such
excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the remaining
order of priority set out in this Section 23(b).



24









 






Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Administrative
Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over
to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.




     (c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned
Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary indorsement).




     (d) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by
law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any
part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account
Collateral or in any other deposit account.




     (e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or
other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the
Administrative Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents
and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other
disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to
such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and
sale of products and services of such Grantor.



          Section 24. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and
hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and
shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or
resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement),
except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-
appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.




          (b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all
reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel
and of any experts and agents, that the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale
of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured
Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions
hereof.




          Section 25. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.




25









 








          (b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement
supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”),
(i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor
hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall
also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of
such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I-X attached to each Security
Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I-X,
respectively, hereto, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such
Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as
supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.




          Section 26. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be
either (i) in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or telex communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or otherwise delivered or (ii) by electronic mail (if electronic
mail addresses are designated as provided below) confirmed immediately in writing, in the case of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, addressed to it at its address specified in the Credit
Agreement and, in the case of each Grantor other than the Borrower, addressed to it at its address
specified in the Credit Agreement or on the signature page to the Security Agreement Supplement
pursuant to which it became a party hereto; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other
communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, sent by electronic mail or
otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company,
telecopied, confirmed by telex answerback, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or
otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid;
except that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective
until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of
any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement
or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.




          Section 27. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force
and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the
Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured
Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes,
if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with
all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case
as provided in Section 8.07 of the Credit Agreement.




          Section 28. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any
item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than
sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), the Administrative Agent will, at such
Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such
release no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to
the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a
written request for release describing




26









 







the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease,
transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price
thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by
the Administrative Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in
compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may
request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to
be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.06 of
the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with
the instructions of, the Administrative Agent when and as required under Section 2.06 of the Credit
Agreement.




          (b) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the
Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured
Hedge Agreements, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to
the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the
Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor
such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.




          Section 29. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart of this Agreement.




          Section 30. The Mortgages. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a
valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage
shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and
contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement
shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral.




          Section 31. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.
