 TRADEMARK SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 This Trademark Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Trademark
Security Agreement”), dated as of May 28, 2009, is made by the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively, the “Grantors”) in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent (the
“Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement referred to below). 
 WHEREAS, WMG
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, has entered into an Security Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2009, made by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Security Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain Trademarks (as defined below) of
the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this Trademark Security Agreement for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any other appropriate governmental authorities. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:

 SECTION 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral 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 (all of the following items or types of property being herein collectively referred to as the “Trademark Collateral”), whether now owned or
existing or hereafter acquired or arising: 
 (i) all trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade dress, logos, designs, slogans, trade
names, business names, corporate names and other source identifiers, whether registered or unregistered, owned by the Grantor, (provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent
that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration issuing from such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law), including,
without limitation, each Trademark registration and application therefor, referred to in Schedule 1 hereto, and all of the goodwill of the business connected with the use of, or symbolized by, each Trademark; 







 (ii) each Trademark license to which the Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, each
Trademark license referred to in Schedule 1 hereto, and all of the goodwill of the business connected with the use of, or symbolized by, each Trademark licensed pursuant thereto; 
 (iii) all registrations and applications for registration for any Trademark, together with all extensions and renewals thereof; 
 (iv) all rights in the foregoing provided by international treaties or conventions, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all other
rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing thereunder or pertaining thereto; 
 (v) any and all claims for damages and injunctive
relief for past, present and future infringement, dilution, violation, misuse or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover, such damages; and 
 (vi) 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 foregoing. 
 SECTION 2. No Transfer of Grantor’s Rights. Except to the extent expressly
permitted in the Secured Agreements, as applicable, each Grantor agrees not to sell, license, exchange, assign, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or grant any rights with respect to, or mortgage or otherwise encumber, any of the Trademark
Collateral. 
 SECTION 3. Security for Secured Obligations. The grant of continuing security interest in the Trademark Collateral by
each Grantor under this Trademark Security Agreement secures the payment of all Secured Obligations of such Grantor, now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Finance Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and
whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. 
 SECTION 4. Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Commissioner for Trademarks and any other applicable government office record this Trademark Security Agreement. 
 SECTION 5. Execution in Counterparts. This Trademark Security 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.
