(i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts. 
  
 5.4. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this
Article V at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Grantors hereby (a) grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantors, and
wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and
(b) irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may sell any of the Grantors’ Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased the Grantors’ Inventory from the Grantors and in
connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to the Grantors and any Inventory that is covered by any
Copyright owned by or licensed to the Grantors and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to the Grantors and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative

provided that, this authorization shall not relieve the Grantors of any of their obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 (b) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

  
 6.3. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE
APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.13. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE AGENT, NOR ANY LENDER, NOR ANY OF THEIR 
  

 11 








 RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY
RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH PERSON’S OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL SUCH PERSON BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 COLLECTION AND
APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS 
  
 7.1.
Collection of Receivables. 
  
 (a) On or before the
Effective Date, the Grantors shall (a) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent Deposit Account Control Agreements for each Deposit Account maintained by the Grantors into which all cash, checks or other similar payments relating to or
constituting payments made in respect of Receivables will be deposited (a “Collateral Deposit Account”), which Collateral Deposit Accounts are identified as such on Exhibit B, and (b) establish lock box service
(the “Lock Boxes”) with the bank(s) set forth in Exhibit B (each, a “Depository Bank”), which Lock Boxes shall be subject to lock box agreements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
(each, a “Lock Box Agreement”) providing for all collections in the Lock Boxes to be deposited into the Collateral Deposit Account(s) with such Depository Bank(s). After the Effective Date, the Grantors will comply with the
terms of Section 7.2. 
  
 (b) The Grantors shall
direct all of their Account Debtors to forward payments directly to Lock Boxes subject to Lock Box Agreements. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and until such time as no Event of Default exists) or at any
time after average daily Availability is less than $65,000,000 for ten (10) or more consecutive days (and until such time as average daily Availability is equal to or exceeds $75,000,000 for a period of 60 consecutive days) (each such period, a
“Cash Dominion Period”), the Administrative Agent may deliver written instructions to the Depository Banks directing them to transfer on a daily basis all payments or deposits received in the Lock Boxes and the Collateral
Deposit Accounts to a collection account maintained by the Grantors with the Administrative Agent (the “Collection Account”) or as otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent; provided that upon the termination or
expiration of all Cash Dominion Periods, the Administrative Agent shall promptly rescind such instructions to the Depository Banks. If the Grantors receive any proceeds of any Receivables, the Grantors shall receive such payments as the
Administrative Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables received by them to a Collateral Deposit Account. The Administrative
Agent shall hold and apply funds received into the Collection Account as provided by the terms of Section 7.3. 
  
 7.2. Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts; Lock Boxes. Before opening or replacing any Collateral Deposit Account, other Deposit Account (other
than Excluded Deposit Accounts), or establishing a new Lock Box, the Grantors shall (a) provide notice to the Administrative Agent, and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreement to the
Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of such Deposit Account and/or Lock Box. 
  
 7.3. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. All amounts desposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 2.19 of the Credit Agreement and shall, after having been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account, be applied (and allocated) by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11(b) of
the Credit Agreement or in accordance with Section 2.19(b) of the Credit Agreement, if applicable. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all
Obligations. 
  

 12 








 ARTICLE VIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 8.1.
Waivers. The Grantors hereby waive notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived
under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the applicable Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after
which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantors waive all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party. To the extent they may lawfully do so, the Grantors absolutely
and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and
all rights or defenses they may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale
conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Grantors hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection
with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. 
  
 8.2.
Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. Except as required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral
for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty
as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantors acknowledge and agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
(iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as
title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed
return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the
Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative
Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of
not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon 
  

 13 








 the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors
or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2. 
  
 8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the
Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that
the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, the Grantors agree that the Administrative Agent
may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion
shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

  
 8.4. Secured Party Performance of Grantors’
Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, upon the failure of the Grantors to perform or pay any obligation contained herein after the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Administrative Agent may (with notice to the
Grantors before taking such action unless time is of the essence) perform or pay any obligation which the Grantors have agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts
paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute a Secured Obligation payable on demand. 
  
 8.5. Dispositions Not Authorized. The Grantors are not authorized to
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as permitted by Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement and notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no
authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as permitted by Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing
signed by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 8.6. No Waiver;
Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver
of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation
of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 9.02
of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided, however, that any update to Exhibits A shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent and shall not be
deemed to be an amendment or modification hereto for purposes of Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative. 
  
 8.7. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights,
remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to
all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in
part. Any provision in any this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in
that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable. 
  

 14 








 8.8. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Grantors for liquidation or reorganization, should the Grantors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Grantors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned. 
  
 8.9. Benefit of
Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all
persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder. 
  
 8.10. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Security Agreement. 
  
 8.11.
Taxes and Expenses. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by federal or state authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with
interest and penalties, if any. To the extent provided by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and charges (including
reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in
the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors. 
  
 8.12. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only,
and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement. 
  
 8.13. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured
Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (or with respect to any outstanding Letters of
Credit, secured in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) and no Commitments of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which would give rise to any Obligations are outstanding. 
  
 8.14. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement together with the
other Loan Documents embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Administrative
Agent relating to the Collateral. 
  

 15 








 8.15. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 
  
 8.16.
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE GRANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE GRANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY TO BRING
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE GRANTORS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
  
 8.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GRANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER
SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER. 
  
 8.18. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
 NOTICES 
  
 9.1. Sending Notices. Any
notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be sent by United States mail, telecopier, personal delivery or overnight courier service, and shall be deemed received (a) when received, if sent by hand or overnight
courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail notices or (b) when sent, if sent by telecopier (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business
on the next Business Day for the recipient), in each case addressed to the Grantors at the addresses set forth on Exhibit A as its principal place of business, and to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the addresses set forth in
