 (b) all Inventory and all Documents evidencing rights in
Inventory; 
  
 (c) all supporting evidence and
documents directly relating to any of the above-described property, including, without limitation, computer programs, disks, tapes and related electronic data processing media, and all rights of such Debtor to retrieve the same from third parties,

herein as such terms are defined in the UCC, unless this Agreement shall otherwise specifically provide. 
  
 Section 3. Secured Obligations. This Agreement is made and given to secure, and shall secure, the prompt payment and performance when due of (a)
any and all indebtedness, 

  

 -2- 








 
obligations, and liabilities of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, to the Secured Creditors, and to any of them individually, under or in
connection with or evidenced by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all obligations evidenced by the Notes of the Borrower heretofore or hereafter issued under the Credit Agreement, all obligations of the
Borrower to reimburse the Secured Creditors for the amount of all drawings on all Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement and all other obligations of the Borrower under all Applications for Letters of Credit, all obligations of
the Debtors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Hedging Liability, all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, and all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, arising under any guaranty
issued by it relating to the foregoing or any part thereof, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising (and whether arising before or after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy and including all interest accrued after the petition
date), due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired and (b) any and all reasonable expenses and charges, legal or otherwise, suffered or incurred by the Secured Creditors, and any of
them individually, in collecting or enforcing any of such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or in realizing on or protecting or preserving any security therefor, including, without limitation, the lien and security interest granted hereby
(all of the indebtedness, obligations, liabilities, expenses, and charges described above being hereinafter referred to as the “Secured Obligations”); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
all rights of the Secured Creditors hereunder shall be exercised by the Agent at the direction of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors (as provided for in the Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
right of recovery against any Debtor under this Agreement (other than the Borrower to which this limitation shall not apply) shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement
void or voidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law. 
  
 Section 4. Covenants, Agreements, Representations and Warranties. Each Debtor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to, the Secured Creditors that: 
  
 (a) Each Debtor is the sole and lawful owner of its
Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Debtor’s respective
chief executive office is at the location listed under Column 2 on Schedule A attached hereto opposite such Debtor’s name. The Collateral is and shall remain in such Debtor’s possession or control at the locations identified on Schedule
A-1 (collectively for each Debtor, the “Permitted Collateral Locations”), except for Collateral which in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business is in transit to or between Permitted Collateral Locations. If for any reason
any Collateral is at any time kept or located at a location other than a Permitted Collateral Location, the Agent shall nevertheless have and retain a lien on and security interest therein. The Debtors own and shall continue to own the Permitted
Collateral Locations except to the extent otherwise disclosed under Columns 2 and 3 on Schedule A. No Debtor shall move its chief executive office or maintain a place of business at a location other than those specified under Columns 2 or 3 on
Schedule A or permit any Collateral to be located at a location other than a Permitted Collateral Location, in each case without first providing the Agent at least 5 days prior written notice of the Debtor’s intent to do so; provided
that 

  

 -3- 








 
each Debtor shall at all times maintain its chief executive office, places of business, and Permitted Collateral Locations in the United States of America
and such Debtor shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain the lien and security interest of the Agent in the Collateral at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect. 
  
 (c) Each Debtor’s legal name, jurisdiction of
organization and organizational number (if any) are correctly set forth under Column 1 on Schedule A of this Agreement. No Debtor has transacted business at any time during the immediately preceding five-year period, and does not currently transact
business, under any other legal names or trade names other than the prior legal names and trade names (if any) set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. No Debtor shall change its jurisdiction of organization without the Agent’s prior written
consent. No Debtor shall change its legal name or transact business under any other trade name without first giving 30 days’ prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Agent. 
  
 (d) The Collateral and every part thereof is and shall be
free and clear of all security interests, liens (including, without limitation, mechanics’, laborers’ and statutory liens), attachments, levies, and encumbrances of every kind, nature, and description and whether voluntary or involuntary,
except for the lien and security interest of the Agent therein and other Liens permitted by Section 8.8 of the Credit Agreement (herein, the “Permitted Liens”). Each Debtor shall defend the Collateral against any claims and demands
of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral adverse to any of the Secured Creditors. 
  
 (e) Each Debtor will promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges and levies upon or against it or its
Collateral, in each case before the same become delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent attachment of any lien resulting
therefrom to, foreclosure on or other realization upon any Collateral and preclude interference with the operation of its business in the ordinary course and such Debtor shall have established adequate reserves therefor. 
  
 (f) Each Debtor agrees it will not waste or destroy the
Collateral or any part thereof and will not be negligent in the care or use of any Collateral. Each Debtor agrees that the use, manufacture, sale and distribution of the Collateral will be in material compliance with all applicable statutes,
ordinances and other governmental requirements. Each Debtor will perform in all material respects its obligations under any contract or other agreement constituting part of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the Secured Creditors
have no responsibility to perform such obligations. 
  
 (g) Subject to Sections 5(c), 6(a), 7(b) and 7(c) hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 8.8 and 8.10 thereof), each Debtor agrees it will not, without the Agent’s prior written consent,
sell, assign, mortgage, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein. 
  

 -4- 








 (h) Each Debtor will insure its Collateral consisting of tangible personal property
against such risks and hazards as other companies similarly situated insure against, and including in any event loss or damage by fire, theft, burglary, pilferage, and loss in transit, in amounts and under policies containing loss payable clauses to
the Agent as its interest may appear (and, if the Agent requests, naming the Agent as additional insured therein) by insurers reasonably acceptable to the Agent. All premiums on such insurance shall be paid by the Debtors and the policies of such
insurance (or certificates therefor) delivered to the Agent. All insurance required hereby shall provide that any loss shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of the relevant Debtor, shall provide that no cancellation thereof shall be
effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the relevant Debtor and the Agent of written notice thereof, and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in all other respects. In case of any material loss, damage to or destruction of the
Collateral or any part thereof, the relevant Debtor shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Agent generally describing the nature and extent of such damage or destruction. In the event any Debtor shall receive any proceeds of such
insurance, such Debtor shall immediately pay over such proceeds of insurance to the Agent which will thereafter be applied to the reduction of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due) or held as collateral security therefor, as the Agent
may then determine or as otherwise provided for in the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the Agent agrees to release such insurance proceeds to the relevant Debtor for replacement or restoration of the portion of the Collateral lost,
damaged or destroyed if, but only if, (i) at the time of release no Event of Default exists, (ii) written application for such release is received by the Agent from the relevant Debtor within 30 days of the receipt of such proceeds, and (iii) the
Agent has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the collateral lost, damaged or destroyed has been or will be replaced or restored. Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent, at the Agent’s option, to adjust, compromise, and settle
any losses under any insurance afforded at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and such Debtor does hereby irrevocably constitute the Agent, its officers, agents, and attorneys, as such Debtor’s
attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default to effect such adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an insurer of the Collateral or any
part thereof and to do everything necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums due under policies of such insurance. Unless the Agent elects to adjust, compromise or settle losses as aforesaid, any
adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement of any losses under any insurance shall be made by the relevant Debtor subject to final approval of the Agent (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred) in the case of losses
exceeding $5,000,000. All insurance proceeds shall be subject to the lien and security interest of the Agent hereunder. 
  
 UNLESS THE DEBTORS PROVIDE THE AGENT
WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE
AGENT MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT THE DEBTORS’ EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE
AGENT’S INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED
NOT, PROTECT ANY DEBTOR’S INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL. THE COVERAGE
PURCHASED BY THE AGENT MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIMS 

  

 -5- 








 
THAT ANY DEBTOR MAKES OR ANY CLAIM
THAT IS MADE AGAINST SUCH DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL.
THE DEBTORS MAY LATER CANCEL ANY SUCH INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE
AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING THE AGENT WITH EVIDENCE THAT THE
DEBTORS HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE
AGENT PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, THE DEBTORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING INTEREST AND ANY OTHER
CHARGES THAT THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF
THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION
OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO
THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREBY. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY
BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE THE DEBTORS MAY BE ABLE
TO OBTAIN ON THEIR OWN. 
  
 (i) If any Collateral is in the possession or control of any agents or processors of a Debtor and the Agent so requests, such Debtor
agrees to notify such agents or processors in writing of the Agent’s lien and security interest therein and instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the Agent’s account and subject to the Agent’s instructions. Each Debtor will,
upon the request of the Agent, authorize and instruct all bailees and any other parties, if any, at any time processing, labeling, packaging, holding, storing, shipping or transferring all or any part of the Collateral to permit the Secured
Creditors and their respective representatives to examine and inspect any of the Collateral then in such party’s possession and to verify from such party’s own books and records any information concerning the Collateral or any part thereof
which the Secured Creditors or their respective representatives may seek to verify. As to any premises not owned by a Debtor wherein any of the Collateral is located, if any, such Debtor shall, upon the Agent’s request, cause each party having
any right, title or interest in, or lien on, any of such premises to enter into an agreement (any such agreement to contain a legal description of such premises) whereby such party disclaims any right, title, and interest in and lien on the
Collateral, allows the removal of such Collateral by the Agent or its agents or representatives, and otherwise is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent. 
  
 (j) Upon the Agent’s request, each Debtor agrees from time to time to deliver to the Agent such
evidence of the existence, identity, and location of its Collateral and of its availability as collateral security pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, schedules describing all Receivables created or acquired by such Debtor, copies of
customer invoices or the equivalent and original shipping or delivery receipts for all merchandise and other goods sold or leased or services rendered by it, together with such Debtor’s warranty of the genuineness thereof, and reports stating
the book value of its Inventory by major category and location), in each case as the Agent may reasonably request. The Agent shall have the right to verify all or any part of the Collateral in any manner, and through any medium, which the Agent in
good faith considers appropriate and reasonable, and each Debtor agrees to furnish all assistance and information, and perform any acts, which the Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith. 
  

 -6- 








 (k) Each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent such further agreements,
assignments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other things, as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to assure the Agent its lien and security interest hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) such financing
statements or other instruments and documents as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require to comply with the UCC and any other applicable law and (ii) such control agreements with respect to electronic Chattel Paper, and to cause the
relevant issuers to execute and deliver such control agreements, as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require. Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file any and all financing statements covering the Collateral or any part thereof as
the Agent may require. The Agent may order lien searches from time to time against any Debtor and the Collateral, and the Debtors shall promptly reimburse the Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such lien
searches. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than Illinois becomes or is applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver all such
agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the security interest of the Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction. Each
Debtor agrees to mark its books and records to reflect the lien and security interest of the Agent in the Collateral. 
  
 (l) On failure of any Debtor to perform any of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the Agent may, at its option, perform the
same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Agent deems advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, liens, and encumbrances, expenditures made in
defending against any adverse claims, and all other expenditures which the Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law or which the Agent may make by agreement or otherwise for the protection of the security hereof. All such sums and amounts
so expended shall be repayable by the Debtors upon demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations secured hereunder, and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) determined by adding 2.0% per annum to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit, with any change
in such rate per annum as so determined by reason of a change in such Base Rate to be effective on the date of such change in said Base Rate (such rate per annum as so determined being hereinafter referred to as the “Default Rate”).
No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Agent on behalf of a Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall relieve any Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any way obligate any Secured
Creditor to take any further or future action with respect thereto. The Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be
discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim. The Agent, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of whether
the relevant Debtor is required to perform the same under the terms of this 

  

 -7- 








 
Agreement. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account of any Debtor maintained with any Secured Creditor for the amount of such sums and amounts so
expended. 
  
 Section 5. Special Provisions Re: Receivables.
(a) As of the time any Receivable owned by a Debtor becomes subject to the security interest provided for hereby, and at all times thereafter, such Debtor shall be deemed to have warranted as to each such Receivable that all warranties of such
Debtor set forth in this Agreement are true and correct with respect to such Receivable in all material respects; that such Receivable and all papers and documents relating thereto are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be; that such
Receivable is valid and subsisting; that the amount of such Receivable represented as owing is the correct amount actually and unconditionally owing, except for normal cash discounts on normal trade terms in the ordinary course of business; and,
except as disclosed to the Agent in writing at or prior to the time such Receivable is created, that no surety bond was required or given in connection with such Receivable or the contracts or purchase orders out of which the same arose. 

 
 (b) If any Receivable arises out of a contract with the United States of
America, or any state or political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees to promptly so notify the Agent and, at the request of the Agent or the Secured Creditors, execute
whatever instruments and documents are required by the Agent in order that such Receivable shall be assigned to the Agent and that proper notice of such assignment shall be given under the federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any successor statute)
or any similar state or local statute, as the case may be. 
  
 (c)
Any merchandise or other goods which are returned by a customer or account debtor or otherwise recovered may be resold by a Debtor in the ordinary course of its business as presently conducted in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof; provided that
during the existence and continuation of any Event of Default, such merchandise and other goods shall be set aside at the request of the Agent and held by the relevant Debtor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and shall remain part of the
Secured Creditors’ Collateral. The Debtors may settle and adjust disputes and claims with its customers and account debtors, handle returns and recoveries, and grant discounts, credits, and allowances in the ordinary course of its business as
presently conducted for amounts and on terms which the relevant Debtor in good faith considers advisable; provided that during the existence and continuation of any Event of Default, at the Agent’s request, the Debtors shall notify the
Agent promptly of all returns and recoveries and, on the Agent’s request, deliver any such merchandise or other goods to the Agent. During the existence of any Event of Default, at the Agent’s request, the Debtors shall also notify the
Agent promptly of all material disputes and claims and settle or adjust them at no expense to the Agent, but no discount, credit or allowance other than on normal trade terms in the ordinary course of business as presently conducted shall be granted
to any customer or account debtor and no returns of merchandise or other goods shall be accepted by any Debtor without the Agent’s consent. The Agent may, at all times during the existence of any Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes and
claims directly with customers or account debtors for amounts and upon terms which the Agent considers advisable. 
  

 -8- 








 (d) To the extent any Receivable or other item of Collateral is evidenced by an Instrument or tangible
Chattel Paper, each Debtor shall cause such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper to be pledged and delivered to the Agent; provided, however, that, prior to the existence of an Event of Default (and thereafter until otherwise required by the
Agent), the Debtors shall not be required to deliver any such Instruments or tangible Chattel Paper unless the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper held by the Debtors and not delivered to the Agent
hereunder is greater than $1,000,000 at any one time outstanding. 
  
 Section 6. Collection of Receivables. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Debtor shall make collection of its Receivables and may use the same to carry on its business in accordance with sound business practice
and otherwise subject to the terms hereof. 
  
 (b) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, whether or not the Secured Party has exercised any or all of its rights under other provisions of this Section 6, in the event the Secured Party requests the Debtors to do so: 
  
 (i) all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper at any time
constituting part of the Receivables (including any postdated checks) shall, upon receipt by such Debtor, be immediately endorsed to and deposited with Agent; and/or 
  
 (ii) each Debtor shall instruct all customers and account debtors to remit all payments in respect of
Receivables or any other Collateral to a lockbox or lockboxes under the sole custody and control of the Agent and which are maintained at one or more post offices selected by the Agent. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether or not the Agent has exercised any of
its other rights under the other provisions of this Section 6, the Agent or its designee may notify the relevant Debtor’s customers and account debtors at any time that Receivables have been assigned to the Agent or of the Agent’s security
interest therein, and either in its own name, or such Debtor’s name, or both, demand, collect (including, without limitation, through a lockbox analogous to that described in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof), receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and
give acquittance for any or all amounts due or to become due on Receivables, and in the Agent’s discretion file any claim or take any other action or proceeding which the Agent may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and realize upon the
security interest of the Agent in the Receivables or any other Collateral. 
  
 (d) Any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral transmitted to or otherwise received by the Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c) hereof may be handled and administered by the Agent in
and through a remittance account or accounts maintained at the Agent or by the Agent at a commercial bank or banks selected by the Agent (collectively the “Depositary Banks” and individually a “Depositary Bank”),
and each Debtor acknowledges that the maintenance of such remittance accounts by the Agent is solely for the Agent’s convenience and that the Debtors do not have any right, title or interest in such remittance accounts or any amounts at any
time standing to the credit thereof. The Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, apply all or any part of 

  

 -9- 








 
any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral received by it from any source to the payment of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due and
payable), such applications to be made in such amounts, in such manner and order, and at such intervals as the Agent may from time to time in its discretion determine, but not less often than once each week. The Agent need not apply or give credit
for any item included in proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral until the Depositary Bank has received final payment therefor at its office in cash or final solvent credits current at the site of deposit acceptable to the Agent and the
Depositary Bank as such. However, if the Agent does permit credit to be given for any item prior to a Depositary Bank receiving final payment therefor and such Depositary Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item is charged back to the
Agent or any Depositary Bank for any reason, the Agent may at its election in either instance charge the amount of such item back against any such remittance accounts or any Deposit Account of any Debtor subject to the lien and security interest of
this Agreement, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Concurrently with each transmission of any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral to any such remittance account, upon the Agent’s request, the relevant Debtor shall
furnish the Agent with a report in such form as Agent shall reasonably require identifying the particular Receivable or such other Collateral from which the same arises or relates. Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Agent will release proceeds of Collateral which the Agent has not applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above from the remittance account from time to time after receipt thereof. Each Debtor hereby indemnifies the Secured Creditors from
and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, and all reasonable costs, expenses, charges, and attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by any Secured Creditor because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements;
provided, however, that no Debtor shall be required to indemnify any Secured Creditor for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person seeking to be indemnified. The Secured
Creditors shall have no liability or responsibility to any Debtor for the Agent or any Depositary Bank accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any
other restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. 
  
 Section 7. Special Provisions Re: Inventory. (a) Each Debtor shall at its own cost and expense maintain, keep, and preserve its Inventory in good
and merchantable condition. 
  
 (b) Each Debtor may, until an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until otherwise notified by the Agent, use, consume, sell, and lease the Inventory in the ordinary course of its business, but a sale in the ordinary course of business shall not under
any circumstance include any transfer or sale in satisfaction, partial or complete, of a debt owing by such Debtor. 
  
 (c) As of the time any Inventory of a Debtor becomes subject to the security interest provided for hereby and at all times thereafter, such Debtor shall
be deemed to have warranted as to any and all of such Inventory that all warranties of such Debtor set forth in this Agreement are true and correct with respect to such Inventory; and that all of such Inventory is located at a location set forth
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof or in transit to or from such a location. Each Debtor agrees that (i) none of its Inventory which has been placed with others on consignment will be described as collateral on any Borrowing Base Certificate, and (ii)
the aggregate value of 

  

 -10- 








 
all Inventory placed on consignment with others will not exceed $2,500,000 at any time unless (x) such Debtor shall have timely complied with Section 9-324
of the UCC and (y) the Agent has received written acknowledgment from the consignee of the Agent’s prior lien. 
  
 (d) If any of the Inventory is at any time evidenced by a document of title, such document shall be promptly delivered by the relevant Debtor to the
Agent. 
  
 Section 8. Power of Attorney. In addition to any
other powers of attorney contained herein, each Debtor hereby appoints the Agent, its nominee, or any other person whom the Agent may designate as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, but effective only upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, to: (a) sign such Debtor’s name on verifications of Receivables and other Collateral; (b) to send requests for verification of Collateral to such Debtor’s customers, account
debtors, and other obligors; to endorse such Debtor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts, and any other forms of payment or security that may come into the Agent’s possession; (c) to endorse the Collateral in
blank or to the order of the Agent or its nominee; to sign such Debtor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Collateral, on claims to enforce collection of any Collateral, on notices to and drafts against customers and account
debtors and other obligors, on schedules and assignments of Collateral, on notices of assignment and on public records; to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Debtor’s mail to an address designated by
the Agent; (d) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Debtor and to extract remittances therefrom (provided that the Agent shall cause the prompt delivery of such mail to the Debtors); and (e) to do all things necessary to carry out
this Agreement. Each Debtor hereby agrees that neither the Agent nor any such attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The foregoing power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement have expired or otherwise terminated. 
  
 Section 9. Events of Default and Remedies. (a) The occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition which is specified as an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an “Event of
Default” hereunder. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction
where the rights or remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further the Agent may, without demand and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without advertisement, notice, hearing or
process of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any securities exchange or broker’s
board or at the Agent’s office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems advisable, in its discretion. In the exercise of any such remedies, the Agent may sell the Collateral as a
unit even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amount remaining unpaid on the Secured Obligations. Also, if 

  

 -11- 








 
less than all the Collateral is sold, the Agent shall have no duty to marshal or apportion the part of the Collateral so sold as between the Debtors, or any
of them, but may sell and deliver any or all of the Collateral without regard to which of the Debtors are the owners thereof. In addition to all other sums due any Secured Creditor hereunder, each Debtor shall pay the Secured Creditors all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Creditors, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the Secured Obligations or in the prosecution or defense of
any action or proceeding by or against any Secured Creditor or any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising
in, arising under or related to a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute). Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Debtors in
accordance with Section 13(b) hereof at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice
having been given. Any Secured Creditor may be the purchaser at any such sale. Each Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such sale. The Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed or the Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and
place. The Agent has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of any warranties of title
or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the absence of such warranties shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable. 
  
 (c) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other
rights provided herein or by law, (i) the Agent shall have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral and anything found therein, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process any premises where the Collateral
may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on the relevant Debtor’s premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Agent may desire and (ii) each Debtor
shall, upon the Agent’s demand, promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Agent. If the Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Debtor shall also at
its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Agent,
appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Collateral records. 
  
 (d) The powers conferred upon the Secured Creditors hereunder are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose on them any duty to exercise such powers. The Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords its own property, consisting of similar type
assets. This Agreement constitutes an assignment of rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of the Debtors in any way related to the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty 

  

 -12- 








 
or obligation to discharge any such duty or obligation. Neither any Secured Creditor nor any party acting as attorney for any Secured Creditor shall be
liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 (e) Failure by the Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any other agreement between any Debtor and the Agent or provided
by law, or delay by the Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent
specifically stated. The rights and remedies of the Secured Creditors under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which any Secured Creditor may have. For purposes of this Agreement, an Event of Default
shall be construed as continuing after its occurrence until the same is waived in writing by the Agent. 
  
 Section 10. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds and avails of the Collateral at any time received by the Agent upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default shall, when received by the Agent in cash or its equivalent, be applied by the Agent in reduction of, or held as collateral security for, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement. The Debtors shall remain liable to the Secured Creditors for any deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Borrower, as agent for the Debtors, or to the
persons lawfully entitled thereto. 
  
 Section 11. Continuing
Agreement. This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations, both for principal and interest, have been fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of
the Lenders to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have expired or otherwise terminated; provided that from and after the termination in full of the Commitments, the cancellation or expiration of all
Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the repayment of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all fees and other non-contingent amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, no Contingent Obligations which may survive such
termination and repayment shall entitle the Agent or the Lenders to retain the Collateral or the liens or security interests granted hereunder therein. Upon such termination of this Agreement, the Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of
the Debtors, forthwith release its liens and security interests hereunder. 
  
 Section 12. The Agent. In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the Credit Agreement, all of which
provisions of said Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 11 thereof) are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety. The Agent hereby disclaims any representation or
warranty to the Secured Creditors or any other holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the liens and security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. 
  
 Section 13. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement cannot be changed or
terminated orally. This Agreement shall create a continuing lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall 

  

 -13- 








 
be binding upon each Debtor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Creditors hereunder, to the
benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Debtor may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the Agent’s prior written consent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. 
  
 (b) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set
forth below (or, if no such address is set forth below, at the address of the relevant Debtor as shown on the records of the Agent), or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the other given by
United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices hereunder shall be addressed:

days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section. 
  
 (c) In the event and to the extent that any provision hereof shall be deemed
to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Agreement shall to such extent be construed as not containing such provision, but only as to such jurisdictions
where such law or interpretation is operative, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of any remaining provisions hereof, and any and all other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid
shall remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable with respect to any Debtor, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect the validity of this Agreement with respect to the other Debtors. 
  
 (d) The lien and security interest herein created and provided for stand as direct and primary security for the Secured Obligations of the Borrower arising under or otherwise relating 

  

 -14- 








 
to the Credit Agreement as well as for the other Secured Obligations secured hereby. No application of any sums received by the Secured Creditors in respect
of the Collateral or any disposition thereof to the reduction of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof shall in any manner entitle any Debtor to any right, title or interest in or to the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security
therefor, whether by subrogation or otherwise, unless and until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied and all commitments to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have expired or
otherwise terminated. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the lien and security interest hereby created and provided are absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts of omissions whatsoever of any
Secured Creditor or any other holder of any Secured Obligations, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien and security interest hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any
Secured Obligations of any other security for or guarantors upon any of the Secured Obligations or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations to realize upon or
protect any of the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security therefor. The lien and security interest hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by (and the Secured Creditors, without notice to anyone, are hereby authorized to
make from time to time) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the Secured Obligations or of any collateral
or security therefor, or of any guaranty thereof, or of any instrument or agreement setting forth the terms and conditions pertaining to any of the foregoing. The Secured Creditors may at their discretion at any time grant credit to the Borrower
without notice to the other Debtors in such amounts and on such terms as the Secured Creditors may elect without in any manner impairing the lien and security interest created and provided for. In order to realize hereon and to exercise the rights
granted the Secured Creditors hereunder and under applicable law, there shall be no obligation on the part of any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any Secured Obligations at any time to first resort for payment to the Borrower or any other
Debtor or to any guaranty of the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or to resort to any other collateral, security, property, liens or any other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Secured Creditors shall have the right to enforce this
Agreement against any Debtor or its Collateral irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending. 
  
 (e) In the event the Secured Creditors shall at any time in their discretion permit (or as contemplated by the Credit
Agreement) a substitution of Debtors hereunder or a party shall wish to become a Debtor hereunder, such substituted or additional Debtor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule C, become a party hereto and be bound
by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Debtor had originally executed this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution, in lieu of the Debtor being replaced. Any such agreement shall contain information as to such
Debtor necessary to update Schedules A and B hereto with respect to it. No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent of the Agent nor shall it in any manner affect the obligations of the other Debtors hereunder.

 (f) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterpart signature pages, each constituting an original, but all together one and the same instrument. 
  
 (g) This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Illinois and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws of the State of Illinois. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision hereof. 
  
 (h) Each Debtor hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois and of any Illinois state court sitting in the City of Chicago, Illinois, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Debtor irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been
brought in an inconvenient form. EACH DEBTOR AND, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH SECURED CREDITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

 ASSUMPTION AND SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

  
 THIS AGREEMENT dated as of
this                  day of
                        , 20     from [new Debtor], a
                             corporation/limited liability company/partnership (the
“New Debtor”), to Harris Trust and Savings Bank (“HTSB”), as administrative agent for the Secured Creditors (defined in the Security Agreement hereinafter identified and defined) (HTSB acting as such agent and any
successor or successors to HTSB in such capacity being hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”). 
  
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 
  
 A. Unified Western Grocers, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and certain other parties have executed and delivered to the Agent that certain
Security Agreement dated as of December 5, 2003 (such Security Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or restated, including supplements thereto which add additional parties as Debtors thereunder, being hereinafter
referred to as the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which such parties (the “Existing Debtors”) have granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a lien on and security interest in the Existing
Debtors’ Collateral (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) to secure the Secured Obligations (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement). 
  
 B. The Borrower provides the New Debtor with substantial financial, managerial, administrative, and technical support and
the New Debtor will benefit, directly and indirectly, from credit and other financial accommodations extended by the Secured Creditors to the Borrower. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of advances made or to
be made, or credit accommodations given or to be given, to the Borrower by the Secured Creditors from time to time, the New Debtor hereby agrees as follows: 
  
 1. The New Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it shall become a “Debtor” party to the Security Agreement effective upon the date the New
Debtor’s execution of this Agreement and the delivery of this Agreement to the Agent, and that upon such execution and delivery, all references in the Security Agreement to the term “Debtor” or “Debtors” shall be deemed to
include the New Debtor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Debtor hereby repeats and reaffirms all grants (including the grant of a lien and security interest), covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained
in the Security Agreement as amended hereby, each and all of which are and shall remain applicable to the Collateral from time to time owned by the New Debtor or in which the New Debtor from time to time has any rights. Without limiting the
foregoing, in order to secure payment of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, the New Debtor does hereby grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and hereby agrees that the Agent has and shall
continue to have for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a continuing lien on and security interest in, among other 

  









 
things, all of the New Debtor’s Collateral (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), including, without limitation, all of the New
Debtor’s Receivables, Inventory and Documents relating thereto and all of the other Collateral described in Section 2 of the Security Agreement, each and all of such granting clauses being incorporated herein by reference with the same force
and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety except that all references in such clauses to the Existing Debtors or any of them shall be deemed to include references to the New Debtor. Nothing contained herein shall in any manner impair the
priority of the liens and security interests heretofore granted in favor of the Agent under the Security Agreement. 
  
 2. Schedules A (Locations) and Schedule B (Other Names) to the Security Agreement shall be supplemented by the information stated below with respect to
the New Debtor:

 3. The New Debtor
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations are secured by all of the Collateral according to, and otherwise on and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement to the same extent and with the same force and effect
as if the New Debtor had originally been one of the Existing Debtors under the Security Agreement and had originally executed the same as such an Existing Debtor. 
  
 4. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning herein as such terms have in
the Security Agreement, except that any reference to the term “Debtor” or “Debtors” and any provision of the Security Agreement providing meaning to such term shall be deemed a reference to the Existing Debtors and the New
Debtor. Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 5. The New Debtor agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and do such
further acts and things as the Agent may deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 6. No reference to this Agreement need be made in the Security Agreement or in any other document or instrument making reference to the Security
Agreement, any reference to the Security Agreement in any of such to be deemed a reference to the Security Agreement as modified hereby. 
  
 7. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Illinois (without regard to principles of
conflicts of law).
