fixture filings) with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto and
continuations thereof that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial

similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and in the case of a
financing statement filed as a fixture filing or covering the Collateral constituting minerals or

This Agreement secures the payment of all the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the
Obligations and would be owed to the US Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties but for the fact
that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization
or similar proceeding involving any US Grantor.

The Security Interests created hereby are granted as security only and shall not subject the
US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or
liability of any US Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

Effect, is pending or threatened. None of the US Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of
any (x) security agreement, financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial

Agreement and the other Credit Documents or with respect to the Note Liens, in favor of the Notes
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Documents, or are filed in respect of

correct list of all United States federal issued patents, pending patent applications, trademark

US Grantor’s knowledge, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes, misappropriates, or

US Grantor’s knowledge, no breach or default of any IP Agreement shall be caused by any of the

enforceability of, or any rights of such US Grantor in, any Intellectual Property Collateral: (i)
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Credit Document or (ii) any holding,
decision, judgment or order rendered by any Governmental Authority.

collateral security for the Obligations, upon (A) in the case of Collateral in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any

perfect the Security Interests created hereby by any means other than (i) filings pursuant to the

Agreement which accounted for aggregate revenue to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of more
than $5,000,000 during the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, or any other subsequent fiscal year, that

Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Security Interests created
hereby, all at the expense of such US Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
such US Grantor shall comply with Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, (i) with respect to any
assets acquired by such US Grantor after the date hereof that are required by the Credit Agreement
to be subject to the Lien created hereby or (ii) with respect to any Person that, subsequent to the
date hereof, becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of any of the US Borrowers that is required by the
Credit Agreement to become a party hereto, the relevant US Grantor after the acquisition or
creation thereof shall promptly take all actions required by the Credit Agreement or this Section
4.1.

4.2. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Each US Grantor will furnish to the US
Collateral Agent prompt written notice of any change in its (i) organizational name, (ii)
jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or organizational structure, or (iv)
organizational identification number. Each US Grantor agrees to make all filings under the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise that are required by Applicable Law in order for the US Collateral
Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected Security
Interest in all of the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement).

4.3. Notices.

(a) Each US Grantor will advise the US Collateral Agent, in reasonable detail, of any Lien of
which it has knowledge (other than the Security Interests created hereby and the Note Liens and
other Permitted Liens) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect, in any material
respect, the ability of the US Collateral Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and after written
notice is delivered to the applicable US Grantor, all insurance payments in respect of any
Equipment shall be paid to and applied by the US Collateral Agent as specified in Section 5.4.

4.4. Intellectual Property.

(a) With respect to each item of Intellectual Property Collateral owned by each US Grantor,
each US Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps, including, as
applicable, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office
and any other Governmental Authority located in the United States, 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 for registration, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property
Collateral of such US Grantor, in each case, except to the extent such US Grantor determines in its
reasonable business judgment that the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property
Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business.

 

-11-

 

(b) Such US Grantor shall (and shall cause all its licensees to), in such US Grantor’s
reasonable business judgment (i) (1) continue to use each Trademark included in the Intellectual
Property Collateral in order to maintain such Trademark in full force and effect with respect to
each class of goods for which such Trademark is currently used, free from any claim of abandonment
for non-use, (2) maintain at least the same standards of quality of products and services offered
under such Trademark as are currently maintained, (3) use such Trademark with the appropriate
notice of registration and all other notices and legends to the extent required by Applicable Law,
(4) not adopt or use any other Trademark that is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of
such Trademark unless the US Collateral Agent shall obtain a perfected Security Interest in such
other Trademark pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) not do any act or omit to do any act whereby
(w) such Trademark (or any goodwill associated therewith) may become destroyed, invalidated,
impaired or harmed in any way, (x) any Patent included in the Intellectual Property Collateral may
become forfeited, misused, unenforceable, abandoned or dedicated to the public or (y) any portion
of the Copyrights included in the Intellectual Property Collateral may become invalidated,
otherwise impaired or fall into the public domain, except in each case to the extent failure to do
any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No US Grantor shall discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any owned Intellectual
Property Collateral unless such US 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 US Grantor’s business, except to the extent failure to do so would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) In the event that any US Grantor becomes aware after the date hereof that any item of its
material Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party in
any way that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such US Grantor shall
promptly notify the US Collateral Agent and take such actions, at its expense, as such US Grantor
deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Intellectual
Property Collateral, including, if such US Grantor deems it necessary, suing for infringement or
misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

(e) With respect to its United States Registered Intellectual Property owned by such US
Grantor in its own name on the date hereof, each US Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise
authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto (an
“Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the Security Interest granted
hereunder to the US Collateral Agent in such United States Registered Intellectual Property with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and any other
Governmental Authorities located in the United States necessary to perfect the Security Interest
hereunder in such Registered Intellectual Property, except to the extent failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5. Letter-of-Credit Rights. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any US
Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit having a face amount in excess of
$5,000,000, which Letter-of-Credit Rights are not Supporting Obligations with respect to any
Collateral in which the Security Interest is perfected, such US Grantor shall promptly notify the
US Collateral Agent thereof and such US Grantor shall, at the request of the US Collateral Agent,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the US Collateral Agent,
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to either (i)
consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights
to the US Collateral Agent or (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to an account as directed by the US
Collateral Agent for application to the Obligations, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement.

 

-12-

 

4.6. Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, each US Grantor hereby
represents and warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $5,000,000 other than
those listed in Schedule 3 hereto. If any US Grantor shall at any time after the date hereof hold
or acquire a new Commercial Tort Claim, such US Grantor shall, on each date that the Borrowers are
required to deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the US Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 9.1(e) of the Credit Agreement, execute and deliver to the US Collateral Agent
agreements granting to the US Collateral Agent a Security Interest therein (subject to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement) and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement,
with such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the US Collateral Agent.
The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of each
such Commercial Tort Claim held by a US Grantor does not exceed $5,000,000 or to the extent such US
Grantor shall have previously notified the US Collateral Agent with respect to any previously held
or acquired Commercial Tort Claims.

5. Remedial Provisions.

5.1. Certain Matters Relating to Accounts.

(a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default after
written notice is delivered to the US Grantor, the US Collateral Agent shall have the right to make
test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably
considers advisable, and each US Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the
US Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. The US
Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such
inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(b) The US Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each US Grantor to collect such US Grantor’s
Accounts and the US Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time upon
notice after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. If required in
writing by the US Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, when collected by any US Grantor, (i) shall be
forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such US Grantor in the exact
form received, duly endorsed by such US Grantor to the US Collateral Agent if required, in a
Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of and on terms and conditions
reasonably satisfactory to the US Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the US Collateral
Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.4, and (ii) until so
turned over, shall be held by such US Grantor in trust for the US Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such US Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of
Accounts shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of
the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the US Collateral Agent’s written request at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, each US Grantor shall deliver to the US Collateral Agent
all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which
gave rise to the Accounts, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, a US Grantor shall
not grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or
settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable
for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon if the US
Collateral Agent shall have instructed the US Grantors in writing not to grant or make any such
extension, credit, discount, compromise, or settlement under any circumstances during the
continuation of such Event of Default.

 

-13-

 

5.2. Communications with Obligors; US Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The US Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, after giving reasonable written
notice to the relevant US Grantor of its intent to do so, communicate with obligors under the
Accounts to verify with them to the US Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and
terms of any Accounts. The US Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any
information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party; provided, that
the provisions of Section 13.16 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to such information.

(b) Upon the written request of the US Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, each US Grantor shall notify obligors on the
Accounts that the Accounts have been assigned to the US Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the US Collateral
Agent and may enforce such US Grantor’s rights against such obligors.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each US Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and
performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.
Neither the US Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under
any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the receipt by the US Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor
shall the US Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the
obligations of any US Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise
thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to
present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment
of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.

5.3. Proceeds to be Turned Over To US Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of
the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to
payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the US Collateral
Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant US Grantor (it being understood that the
exercise of remedies by the Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default under Section
11.5 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a request by the US Collateral Agent for
the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no such written notice shall be required),
all Proceeds received by any US Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall
be held by such US Grantor in trust for the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such US Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such US
Grantor, be turned over to the US Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such US Grantor
(duly endorsed by such US Grantor to the US Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received
by the US Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the US Collateral Agent in a Collateral
Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to the US Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the US Collateral Agent in a
Collateral Account (or by such US Grantor in trust for the US Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall
not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.

 

-14-

 

5.4. Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, all proceeds received by the US
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any
part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows:

(i) FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by the US Collateral Agent and US Administrative Agent in connection with
such sale, collection or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the
other Security Documents or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the
reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment
of all advances made by the US Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Security
Document on behalf of any US Grantor and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
or under any other Security Document;

(ii) SECOND, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all US Obligations (other than
Cash Management Obligations of a US Grantor under a Secured Cash Management Agreement and
all Hedging Obligations of a US Grantor under each Secured Hedging Agreement) owing to them
on the date of any such distribution, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such
amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured
Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof;

(iii) THIRD, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Canadian Obligations (other
than Cash Management Obligations of a Canadian Grantor (as defined in the Canadian Security
Agreement) under a Secured Cash Management Agreement and all Hedging Obligations of a
Canadian Grantor under each Secured Hedging Agreement) owing to them on the date of any
such distribution, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full,
then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in
proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof;

(iv) FOURTH, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Cash Management Obligations
under each Secured Cash Management Agreement and all Hedging Obligations under each Secured
Hedging Agreement owing to them on the date of any such distribution, and, if such money
shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one
over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof; and

(v) FIFTH, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the US Grantors or their
successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) Upon any sale of the Collateral by the US Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power
of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the US Collateral Agent
or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of
the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the US Collateral Agent or such officer
or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

 

-15-

 

5.5. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the US Collateral Agent may exercise in
respect of
the Collateral, in addition to all 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 NY UCC or
any other Applicable Law or in equity and also may without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange
broker’s board or at any of the US Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially
reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The
US Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the US
Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any US Grantor, and each US Grantor
hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or
appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter enacted. The US Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the
right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any such
private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the US Collateral
Agent or such Secured Party may, subject to (x) the satisfaction in full in cash of all payments
due pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(i) hereof and (y) the satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance
with the priorities set forth in Section 5.4(a) hereof, pay the purchase price by crediting the
amount thereof against the Obligations. Each US Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such US 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 US Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The US Collateral 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. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, each US Grantor hereby waives any claim against the US
Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been
sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if the US Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral
to more than one offeree. Each US Grantor further agrees, at the US Collateral Agent’s request, to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the US Collateral Agent at places which the US
Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such US Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
US Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section
5.5 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof. As an alternative to exercising the
power of sale herein conferred upon it, the US Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section
5.5 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section
9-610(b) of the NY UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

5.6. Deficiency. Each US Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations
and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the US Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party to collect such deficiency.

 

-16-

 

5.7. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each US
Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights
against any US Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any US Grantor, (a) any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
may be rescinded by
such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any
other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right
of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the US Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Secured Debt Documents and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in
whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Document, and (d) any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the US Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. Neither the US Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have
any obligation to protect, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand
hereunder against any US Grantor, the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, may, but
shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any of the Borrowers or any other US
Grantor, and any failure by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such
demand or to collect any payments from any of the Borrowers or any other US Grantor or any release
of any of the Borrowers or any other US Grantor shall not relieve any US Grantor in respect of
which a demand or collection is not made or any US Grantor not so released of its several
obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
against any US Grantor. For the purpose hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and
continuance of any legal proceedings.

5.8. Conflict with Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of this Section 5 and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall prevail.

6. The US Collateral Agent.

6.1. US Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each US Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the US
Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such US
Grantor and in the name of such US Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which the US Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each US Grantor hereby gives the US Collateral Agent the
power and right, on behalf of such US Grantor, either in the US Collateral Agent’s name or in the
name of such US Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such US Grantor, to do any or all of the
following at the same time or at different times, in each case after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default and after written notice by the US Collateral Agent of its
intent to do so, and in each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances
or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any
other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of
law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the US Collateral Agent for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other
Collateral whenever payable;

 

-17-

 

(ii) in the case of any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights, execute and deliver, and
have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the US
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the US Collateral Agent’s and the
Secured Parties’ Security Interest in such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights and the
goodwill and general intangibles of such US Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any
Collateral;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral;

(v) obtain, pay and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such US Grantor or
paid to the US Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

(vi) send verifications of Accounts to any Person who is or who may become obligated to
any US Grantor under, with respect to or on account of an Account;

(vii) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the US Collateral
Agent or as the US Collateral Agent shall direct;

(viii) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising
out of any Collateral;

(ix) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage
or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other
documents in connection with any of the Collateral;

(x) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(xi) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such US Grantor with respect
to any Collateral (with such US Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such US Grantor
or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in
such Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights
or remedies available to the US Collateral Agent at law);

(xii) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in
connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the US Collateral Agent may deem
appropriate (with such US Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to
the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such US Grantor or any of
its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such
Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights or
remedies available to the US Collateral Agent at law);

 

-18-

 

(xiii) assign any Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world for such term
or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the US Collateral Agent shall in its
reasonable business discretion determine; and

(xiv) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the US
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the US
Collateral Agent’s option and such US Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things that the US Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the US Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security
Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as such US Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 6.l(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the US Collateral Agent agrees
that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section
6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any US Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein,
the US Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply,
or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the US Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the
highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR
Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the US Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant US Grantor, shall be payable by such US Grantor to the US Collateral
Agent on demand.

(d) Each US Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are
coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security
Interests created hereby are released.

6.2. Duty of US Collateral Agent. The US Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to
the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the NY UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the US
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The US Collateral 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 the US
Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the US Collateral Agent, any other Secured
Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
any US Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the US Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the US Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured
Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the US Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The US Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any US Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

-19-

 

6.3. Authority of US Collateral Agent. Each US Grantor acknowledges that the
rights and responsibilities of the US Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any
action taken by
the US Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the US Collateral Agent of any
option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting
or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties, be governed by this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may
exist from time to time among them, but, as between the US Collateral Agent and the US Grantors,
the US Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured
Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no US Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.4. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the US Collateral Agent hereunder, the
Security Interests created hereby and all obligations of the US Grantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any
other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure
from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any US
Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

6.5. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Secured Debt Documents;
Release.

(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and
to the extent of its terms upon each US Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall
inure to the benefit of the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Termination Date.

(b) (i) A US Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder
and the Security Interests in the Collateral of such US Subsidiary Grantor created hereby shall be
automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement,
as a result of which such US Subsidiary Grantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Required Lenders shall have
consented to such transaction (to the extent such consent is required by the Credit Agreement) and
the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise, and (ii) Holdings (or the previous New
Holdings, as the case may be) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and
the Security Interests in the Collateral of Holdings (or the previous New Holdings, as the case may
be) created hereby shall be automatically released in accordance with the formation or acquisition
of a New Holdings that satisfies the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(c) The Security Interests in Collateral created hereby shall be automatically released and
such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby (i) upon any
Disposition by any US Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement (other
than to the Company or any US Subsidiary Grantor), (ii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised
of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iii) if the
release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or
such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section
13.1), (iv) as required by the US Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in
connection with any exercise of remedies of the US Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or
any of the other Security Documents and (v) as required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

-20-

 

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the
US Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any US Grantor, at such US Grantor’s expense, all
documents that such US Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release;
provided, however, that with respect to the release of any item of Collateral
pursuant to Section 6.5(c)(i) in connection with any request of evidence of termination or release
made of the US Collateral Agent, the US Collateral Agent may request that the US Grantor deliver a
certificate of an Authorized Officer to the effect that the sale or transfer transaction is in
compliance with the Credit Documents and as to such other matters as the US Collateral Agent may
request. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be without
recourse to or warranty by the US Collateral Agent.

6.6. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any of the
Borrowers or any other US Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any of the Borrowers or any other
US Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

7. Miscellaneous.

7.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the
affected US Grantor and the US Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit
Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented (but no
existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through agreements
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by
each US Grantor directly affected thereby.

7.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in
accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
any US Subsidiary Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s addresses
set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

7.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the US Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to
Section 7.1 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms
and conditions hereof or of any other applicable Secured Debt Document. No failure to exercise,
nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the US Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the US Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party
would otherwise have on any other occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies provided by law.

7.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each US Grantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including
all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by any Secured Party
in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or
collecting,
any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting
against, such US Grantor under this Agreement to the extent any of the Borrowers would be required
to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

 

-21-

 

(b) Each US Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in
paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be
payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement to the extent any of the Borrowers would be required to do so
pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Credit Documents,
each US Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the
extent any of the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit
Agreement.

(d) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Security Documents. The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive
termination of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of
any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any investigation made by
or on behalf of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this
Section 7.4 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

7.5. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no US Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the US Collateral Agent,
except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.

7.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic
transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif’)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the US Collateral Agent and the Company.

7.7. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions.

7.8. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

-22-

 

7.9. Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of each of the US Grantors
with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations
or warranties by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter
hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Debt Documents.

7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

7.11. Submission To Jurisdiction Waivers. Each US Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern
District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to such US Grantor at its address referred to in Section 7.2 or at
such other address of which the US Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the US Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Applicable
Law or shall limit the right of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to sue in
any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim
or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 7.11 any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

7.12. Acknowledgments. Each US Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the US Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any US Grantor arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the US
Grantors, on the one hand, and the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the
other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;

 

-23-

 

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among
the US Grantors and the Secured Parties; and

(d) upon any Event of Default, the US Collateral Agent may proceed without notice
against any US Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any
Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other US Grantor or any other
Collateral and without first joining any other US Grantor in any proceeding.

7.13. Additional US Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the US Borrowers that is required to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement and the terms
hereof shall become a US Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a US
Grantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary
of a Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto. The execution and delivery of any
instrument adding an additional US Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the
consent of any other US Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each US Grantor hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new US Grantor as a party
to this Agreement.

7.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

7.15. Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement, the Liens and Security Interests granted to the US Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or
remedy by the US Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, in each case, with
respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and Note Liens are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and
Note Liens, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

7.16. Obligations of US Grantors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
prior to the Discharge of Notes Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), so long as
the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Documents is acting as bailee and
non-fiduciary agent for perfection on behalf of the US Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any US Grantor in this Agreement that requires (or
any representation or warranty hereunder to the extent that it would have the effect of requiring)
(a)(i) delivery of Collateral to, or the possession or control of Collateral with, the US
Collateral Agent shall be deemed complied with and satisfied (or, in the case of any representation
or warranty hereunder, shall be deemed to be true) if such delivery of Collateral is made to, or
such possession or control of Collateral is with, the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior
Secured Notes Documents or (ii) other than with respect to any releases of Liens on any Collateral,
the consent of the US Collateral Agent regarding Notes Priority Collateral shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent the Notes Collateral Agent has given such consent
and (b) subject to Section 8(a)(i) of the Pledge Agreement, the provision of voting rights in
connection with Notes Priority Collateral to the US Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be
satisfied if such US Grantor complies with the requirements of the Senior Secured Notes Documents.

US SECURITY AGREEMENT

SUPPLEMENT NO. [_____],
dated as of [                    ] (this “Supplement”), to the US
SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of October 13, 2010 (the “US Security Agreement”), among CAREY
INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), ASSOCIATED MATERIALS,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and each of the subsidiaries of
the Company listed on Annex A thereto (each such subsidiary, individually, a “US Subsidiary
Grantor” and, collectively, the “US Subsidiary Grantors”; and, together with Holdings
and the Company, collectively, the “US Grantors”), and UBS AG, STAMFORD BRANCH, as US
collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successors in such
capacity, the “US Collateral Agent”).

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein (including terms used in the
preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the US Security
Agreement.

B. The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.2, 1.5,
1.6 and 1.7 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Supplement, including terms defined in the
preamble and recitals hereto.

C. Section 7.13 of the US Security Agreement provides that each Domestic Subsidiary of any of
the US Borrowers that is required to become a party to the US Security Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement and the terms hereof shall become a US Grantor, with the same
force and effect as if originally named as a US Grantor therein, for all purposes of the US
Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of
this Supplement. Each undersigned US Guarantor (each, a “New US Grantor”) is executing
this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the US Security Agreement to become a US
Grantor under the US Security Agreement as consideration for the Obligations.

Accordingly, the US Collateral Agent and the New US Grantors agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.13 of the US Security Agreement, each New US Grantor
by its signature below becomes a US Grantor under the US Security Agreement with the same force and
effect as if originally named therein as a US Grantor and each New US Grantor hereby (a) agrees to
all the terms and provisions of the US Security Agreement applicable to it as a US Grantor
thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
US Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof (except where such
representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date). In
furtherance of the foregoing, each New US Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in
full of the Obligations, does hereby assign, pledge, mortgage and hypothecate to the US Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the US Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, a Security Interest in all of the Collateral of such New US
Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter existing or in which now has or hereafter acquires
an interest. Each reference to a “US Grantor” in the US Security Agreement shall be deemed to
include each New US Grantor. The US Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Each New US Grantor represents and warrants to the US Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it
and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization
and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of
equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on
any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e.
a “pdf” or “tif”)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Supplement signed by all the parties shall be
lodged with the US Collateral Agent and the Company. This Supplement shall become effective as to
each New US Grantor when the US Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of such New US Grantor and the US
Collateral Agent.

SECTION 4. Such New US Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto is (i) the legal name of such New US Grantor, (ii) the jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization of such New US Grantor, (iii) the identity or type of organization or
corporate structure of such New US Grantor and (iv) the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and
organizational number of such New US Grantor and (b) as of the date hereof (i) Schedule B hereto
sets forth all of the Registered Intellectual Property owned by such New Grantor in its name, and
indicates for each such item, as applicable, the application and/or registration number, date and
jurisdiction of filing and/or issuance, and the identity of the current applicant or registered
owner, (ii) Schedule C hereto sets forth all Exclusive IP Agreements of such New Grantor and (iii)
Schedule D sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims in excess of $5,000,000 held by such New Grantor.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the US Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and in the US Security
Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor
in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with
Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each New US
Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section
13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Each New US Grantor agrees to reimburse the US Collateral Agent for its reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable
and documented fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the US Collateral Agent.

INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), ASSOCIATED MATERIALS,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and each of the subsidiaries of
the Company listed on Annex A thereto (each such subsidiary, individually, a “US Subsidiary
Grantor” and, collectively, the “US Subsidiary Grantors”; and, together with Holdings
and the Company, collectively, the “US Grantors”), and UBS AG, STAMFORD BRANCH, as US
collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successors in such

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein (including terms used in the
preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the US Security
Agreement.

B. The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.2, 1.5,
1.6 and 1.7 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Supplement, including terms defined in the

C. Pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of the US Security Agreement, each US Grantor has agreed to

thereto with respect to any After-Acquired Intellectual Property Collateral. The US Grantors have

Grantors after the date of the US Security Agreement set forth on Schedules I and II hereto
(collectively, the “Additional Collateral”).

Accordingly, the US Collateral Agent and the US Grantors agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Schedules 1 and 2 of the US Security Agreement are hereby supplemented, as
applicable, by the information set forth in Schedules I and II hereto.

SECTION 2. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on

EXHIBIT 3 TO THE

US SECURITY AGREEMENT

FORM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT

This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “IP Security Agreement”), dated as
of [                    ], 20[_], among the Person listed on the signature pages hereof (the “US
Grantor”), and UBS AG, STAMFORD BRANCH, as US collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such
capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “US Collateral Agent”).

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein (including terms used in the
preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the US SECURITY
AGREEMENT, dated as of October 13, 2010 (the “US Security Agreement”), among CAREY
INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), ASSOCIATED MATERIALS,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and each of the subsidiaries of
the Company listed on Annex A thereto (each such subsidiary, individually, a “US Subsidiary
Grantor” and, collectively, the “US Subsidiary Grantors”; and, together with Holdings
and the Company, collectively, the “US Grantors”), and the US Collateral Agent.

B. The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.2, 1.5,
1.6 and 1.7 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Supplement, including terms defined in the
preamble and recitals hereto.

C. Pursuant to Section 4.4(e) of the US Security Agreement, US Grantor has agreed to execute
or otherwise authenticate this IP Security Agreement for recording the Security Interest granted
under the US Security Agreement to the US Collateral Agent in such US Grantor’s United States
Registered Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office and any other Governmental Authorities located in the United States
necessary to perfect the Security Interest hereunder in such Registered Intellectual Property.

Accordingly, the US Collateral Agent and US Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Grant of Security. The US Grantor hereby grants to the US Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties a Security Interest in all of such US Grantor’s right, title
and interest in and to the [United States Trademark registrations and applications] [United States
Patent registrations and applications] [United States Copyright registrations and applications] set
forth in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Collateral”).

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a Security Interest in the
Collateral by US Grantor under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that
constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed to the US Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving US Grantor.

SECTION 3. Recordation. US Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of
Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents, the Commissioner for Trademarks and any other applicable
governmental officer located in the United States record this IP Security Agreement.

SECTION 4. Grants, Rights and Remedies. This IP Security Agreement has been entered
into in conjunction with the provisions of the US Security Agreement. US Grantor does hereby
acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the Security Interest hereunder to, and the rights and
remedies of,
the US Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the US
Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if
fully set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this IP Security
Agreement and the terms of the US Security Agreement, the terms of the US Security Agreement shall
govern.

 

3-1 

 

SECTION 5. Counterparts. This IP Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this IP Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif”)), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 6. GOVERNING LAW. THIS IP SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7. Severability. Any provision of this IP Security Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof and in the US Security Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made
in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder
to US Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in
Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Expenses. US Grantor agrees to reimburse the US Collateral Agent for its
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this IP Security Agreement,
including the reasonable and documented fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the US
Collateral Agent.

representing or evidencing the Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to
the US Collateral Agent (or its non-fiduciary agent or designee) in suitable form for transfer by
delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank;
provided that in no event shall any certificates, instruments or transfer of stock powers
be required with respect to the pledge of any Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, other than a

assignment in blank. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the US Collateral Agent
shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default and without notice to any US Pledgor (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), to
transfer to or to register in the name of the US Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all
of the Pledged Shares. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
each US Pledgor will promptly give to the US Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other
communications received by it with respect to Pledged Shares registered in the name of such US
Pledgor. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the US Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the
certificates representing Pledged Shares for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for
any purpose consistent with this Agreement. Each delivery of Collateral (including any
After-acquired Shares and After-acquired Debt) shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the
securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which shall be attached hereto as part of
Schedule 2 and made a part hereof; provided that the failure to attach any such schedule
hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such securities. Each schedule so delivered
shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.

(b) Each US Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the US Collateral Agent at any time and from
time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto and continuations thereof that contain
the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable
jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment or continuation, including
whether such US Pledgor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to such US Pledgor. Such financing statements may describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of
collateral that describes such property in any other manner such as “all assets” or “all personal
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” of such US Pledgor or words of similar effect as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. Each US Pledgor agrees to provide such
information to the US Collateral Agent promptly after any such request. Each US Pledgor agrees to
furnish the US Collateral Agent with written notice as required by Section 4.2 of the US Security
Agreement.

Senior Secured Notes Documents or any documentation governing Other Pari Passu Lien
Obligations, the Credit Documents or securities laws generally and except as described in
the Perfection Certificate, the Collateral is freely transferable and assignable, and none
of the Collateral is subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement,
charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might prohibit,
impair, delay or otherwise affect the pledge of such Collateral hereunder, the sale or
disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the US Collateral Agent of rights and
remedies hereunder.

(f) The execution and delivery by such US Pledgor of this Agreement and the pledge of
the Collateral pledged by such US Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a valid and
enforceable security interest in such Collateral (in the case of the Capital Stock of
Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation of such security interest in the Capital
Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the NY UCC) and (i) in the case of certificates

such Collateral (in the case of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the
creation of such security interest in the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed
by the NY UCC), securing the payment of the Obligations, in favor of the US Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or law).

 

-7-

benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the US Collateral Agent in the Collateral as
set forth herein.

(h) Such US Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the
Collateral pledged by such US Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement and this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such US Pledgor (in the case of the
Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation of such security interest
in the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the NY UCC), enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
law).

6. Certification of Limited Liability Company Interests, Limited Partnership Interests and
Pledged Debt.

pledged hereunder in any Domestic Subsidiary that is organized as a limited liability company or
limited partnership and pledged hereunder shall either (i) be represented by a certificate, and in

issuer of such interests to elect to treat such interests as a “security” within the meaning of

applicable, by including in its organizational documents language substantially similar to the
following and, accordingly, such interests shall be governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial
Code:

“The [partnership/limited liability company] hereby irrevocably elects that all
[partnership/membership] interests in the [partnership/limited liability company]
shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
[jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable]. Each certificate
evidencing [partnership/membership] interests in the [partnership/limited liability
company] shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest
in [name of [partnership/limited liability company]] and shall be a security for

dividend payment orders and other instruments as the US Collateral Agent may reasonably
request.

(d) Any notice given by the US Collateral Agent to the US Pledgors suspending their rights
under paragraph (c) of this Section 8 (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in
writing, (ii) may be given to one or more of the US Pledgors at the same or different times and
(iii) may suspend the rights of the US Pledgors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (b) of this
Section 8 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the US Collateral Agent in
its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the US Collateral
Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

9. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Collateral; Etc. Each US Pledgor shall:

(a) not (i) except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement (including pursuant
to waivers and consents thereunder), sell or otherwise Dispose of, or grant any option or
warrant with respect to, any of the Collateral or (ii) create or suffer to exist any
consensual Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien created
by this Agreement and the other Security Documents and the Note Liens; provided that
in the event such US Pledgor sells or otherwise disposes of assets as permitted by the
Credit Agreement (including pursuant to waivers and consents thereunder) and such assets are
or include any of the Collateral, the US Collateral Agent shall release such Collateral to
such US Pledgor free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement concurrently with the
consummation of such sale in accordance with Section 13.17 of the Credit Agreement and with
Section 14 hereof;

 

-11-

 

(b) pledge and, if applicable, cause each Domestic Subsidiary required to become a
party hereto to pledge, to the US Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
immediately upon acquisition thereof, all After-acquired Shares and After-acquired Debt
required to be pledged pursuant to Section 9.11(a) of the Credit Agreement, in each case
pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto or
such other form reasonably satisfactory to the US Collateral Agent (it being understood that
the execution and delivery of such a supplement shall not require the consent of any US
Pledgor hereunder and that the rights and obligations of each US Pledgor hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new US Subsidiary
Pledgor as a party to this Agreement); and

(c) defend its and the US Collateral Agent’s title or interest in and to all the
Collateral (and in the Proceeds thereof) against any and all Liens (other than the Lien
created by this Agreement and the Note Liens), however arising, and any and all Persons
whomsoever and, subject to Section 13.17 of the Credit Agreement and Section 14 hereof, to
maintain and preserve the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement until the
Termination Date.

10. US Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each US Pledgor hereby appoints,
which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the US Collateral Agent as such US
Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such US Pledgor and in
the name of such US Pledgor or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument, in each
case after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, that the US
Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such US
Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution or principal or interest payment in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

11. The US Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the US Collateral Agent
hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession
and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the US Collateral 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 Pledged Shares,
whether or not the US Collateral Agent or any other 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 US Collateral 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 the US
Collateral Agent accords its own property.

 

-12-

 

12. Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and:

(a) The US Collateral 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 NY UCC (whether or not the NY UCC
applies to the affected Collateral) and also may 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 exchange broker’s board or at any of the US Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as
the US Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any
such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The US Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the US Collateral
Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers
thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any US Pledgor, and each US
Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The US Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral
so sold, and the US Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may, subject to (x) the
satisfaction in full of all payments due pursuant to Section 12(b)(i) and (y) the
satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
12(b), pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations;
provided that in no event shall there be applied towards the satisfaction of the US
Obligations proceeds of any such sale of the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, or of
any Domestic Subsidiary treated as a disregarded entity for US federal income tax purposes
if substantially all of its assets consist of Capital Stock of one or more Foreign
Subsidiaries that are controlled foreign corporations within the meaning of Section 957 of
the Code (in either case securing or purporting to secure the US Obligations), derived from
Voting Stock of such Subsidiary in excess of 65% of the outstanding Capital Stock of such
class. Each US Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least ten days’ notice to such US Pledgor 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 US Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The US Collateral 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. To
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each US Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the
US Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may
have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained
at a public sale, even if the US Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does
not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. As an alternative to exercising the
power of sale herein conferred upon it, the US Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or
suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any
portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 12 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent
in other jurisdictions.

 

-13-

 

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the US Collateral Agent shall
apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral at any time after receipt in
accordance with the priority set forth in Section 5.4 of the US Security Agreement;
provided that in no event shall there be applied towards the satisfaction of the US
Obligations proceeds of any such collection or sale of the Capital Stock of any Foreign
Subsidiary, or of any Domestic Subsidiary treated as a disregarded entity for US federal
income tax purposes if substantially all of its assets consist of Capital Stock of one or
more Foreign Subsidiaries that are controlled foreign corporations within the meaning of
Section 957 of the Code (in either case securing or purporting to secure the US
Obligations), derived from Voting Stock of such Subsidiary in excess of 65% of the
outstanding Capital Stock of such class.

Upon any sale of the Collateral by the US Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a
power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the US
Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the US
Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(c) The US Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each US
Pledgor in respect of the Collateral.

(d) All payments received by any US Pledgor after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust
for the benefit of the US Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds
of such US Pledgor and shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, be
forthwith delivered to the US Collateral Agent (or its non-fiduciary agent or designee) as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(e) If the US Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any
of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 12, each US Pledgor recognizes that the US
Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Shares,
by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each US Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any
such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were
a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The US Collateral
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public
sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would agree to do so.

 

-14-

 

(f) If the US Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of
the Collateral, upon written request, each US Pledgor shall, from time to time, furnish to
the US Collateral Agent all such information as the US Collateral Agent may reasonably
request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the
Collateral which may be sold by the US Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and rules of the SEC, as the same are from time to time in effect.

13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Except for
the termination of a US Pledgor’s Obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 14, each
US Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights
against any US Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any US Pledgor, (a) any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the
liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be
renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Secured Debt Documents and any other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Debt
Document, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the US
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the US Collateral Agent nor any other Secured
Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by
it as security for the Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When
making any demand hereunder against any US Pledgor, the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the US Borrowers (to the
extent such demand is in respect of any Obligations owing by the US Borrowers) or any other US
Pledgor, and any failure by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such
demand or to collect any payments from the US Borrowers or any other US Pledgor or any release of
the US Borrowers or any other US Pledgor shall not relieve any US Pledgor in respect of which a
demand or collection is not made or any US Pledgor not so released of its several obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied,
or as a matter of law, of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any US
Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuation of any
legal proceedings.

 

-15-

 

14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Secured Debt Documents;
Release.

(a) This Agreement and the security interest granted hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each US Pledgor and
the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the US Collateral Agent and
the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns,
until the Termination Date, notwithstanding the from time to time prior to the Termination Date the
US Pledgors may be free from any Obligations.

(b) A US Subsidiary Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and
the pledge of such US Subsidiary Pledgor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of
any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such US Subsidiary Pledgor
ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary;
provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent
such consent is required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide
otherwise.

(c) The obligations created hereby of any US Pledgor with respect to Collateral shall be
automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and security interests
created hereby (i) upon any Disposition by such US Pledgor of any Collateral that is (i) permitted
under the Credit Agreement (other than to the Company or any US Subsidiary Pledgor), (ii) upon the
effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interests granted hereby in any
Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement or (iii) as required by the
Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), or (c), the
US Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any US Pledgor or authorize the filing of, at such
US Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such US Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release provided, however, that with respect to the release of any
item of Collateral pursuant to Section 14(c)(i) in connection with any request of evidence of
termination or release made of the US Collateral Agent, the US Collateral Agent may request that
the US Pledgor deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the effect that the sale or
transfer transaction is in compliance with the Credit Documents. Any execution and delivery of
documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the US Collateral
Agent.

15. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the US
Borrowers or any other US Pledgor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the US Borrowers or any other US
Pledgor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not
been made.

16. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in
accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
any US Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set
forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

 

-16-

 

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic
transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the US Collateral Agent and the Company.

18. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

19. Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of each of the US Pledgors
with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations
or warranties by the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter
hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Debt Documents.

20. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected US Pledgor(s) and the US
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Neither the US Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event
of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the US Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the US Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party
would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by
law.

21. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.

 

-17-

 

22. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except
that no US Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the US Collateral Agent, except pursuant to a
transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.

23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

24. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the US Pledgors hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement, and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition
and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to such US Pledgor at its address referred to in Section 16 or at
such other address of which the US Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the US Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Applicable
Law or shall limit the right of the US Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to sue in
any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim
or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 24 any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

25. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

26. Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Liens and security interests granted to the US Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the US Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, in each case, with respect to the Notes Priority
Collateral and the Note Liens are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and the Note Liens, the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

 

-18-

 

27. Obligations of US Pledgors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
prior to the Discharge of Notes Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), so long as
the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Documents is acting as bailee and
non-fiduciary agent for perfection on behalf of the US Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any US Pledgor in this Agreement that requires (or
any representation or warranty hereunder to the extent that it would have the effect of requiring)
(a)(i) delivery of Collateral to, or the possession or control of Collateral with, the US
Collateral Agent shall be deemed complied with and satisfied (or, in the case of any representation
or warranty hereunder, shall be deemed to be true) if such delivery of Collateral is made to, or
such possession or control of Collateral is with, the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior
Secured Notes Documents or (ii) other than with respect to any releases of Liens on any Collateral,
the consent of the US Collateral Agent regarding Notes Priority Collateral shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent the Notes Collateral Agent has given such consent
and (b) subject to Section 8(a)(i), the provision of voting rights in connection with Notes
Priority Collateral to the US Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be satisfied if such US Pledgor
complies with the requirements of the Senior Secured Notes Documents.

INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), ASSOCIATED MATERIALS,
