and hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in, all of
such Grantors right, title and interest in and to the following
Collateral of such Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter
existing, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and whether or

Each category of Collateral set forth above
shall have the meaning set forth in the UCC (to the extent such
term is defined in the UCC), it being the intention of Grantors
that the description of the Collateral set forth above be construed
to include the broadest possible range of assets.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Grantor shall be
deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of such Grantors
rights or interests in or under, any license, contract, lease,
permit, Instrument or franchise to which such Grantor is a party or
any of such Grantors rights or interests thereunder to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of
such license, contract, lease, permit, Instrument or franchise, or
under applicable provisions of the Communications Act or FCC Rules,
result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under,
such license, contract, lease, permit, Instrument, Security or
franchise or applicable provisions of the Communications Act or FCC
Rules (other than to the extent that any such term would be
rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable
law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of

modification or change.

Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary not entitled to vote
(within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) and the
Collateral shall not include any other Equity Interests issued by
such Foreign Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Liens granted to the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be Second Priority Liens on the Collateral (second only to
the First Lien Obligations) and the exercise of any right or remedy
by the Secured Party hereunder is subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations, (i) the requirements of this
Agreement to endorse, assign or deliver to the Secured Party shall
be deemed satisfied by endorsement, assignment or delivery of such
Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent (as bailee for the
Secured Party) and (ii) any endorsement, assignment or delivery to
the First Lien Collateral
Agent (as bailee for the Secured Party) shall be
deemed an endorsement, assignment or delivery to the Secured Party
for all purposes hereunder. Upon the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations, the Liens granted to the Secured Party pursuant to
this Agreement shall have priority over all other Liens in and to
such Collateral.

rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any
purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement; and (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to

below: (x) upon written notice from Secured Party to any
Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have
the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;
(y) all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other
distributions, principal and interest payments which it would
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall

as Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal and
interest payments; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest
payments and other distributions which are received by such Grantor
contrary to the provisions of clause (y) above shall be received in
trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to
Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsements).

voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other
distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder,

Agent as agent for the Secured Party) all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time
to time reasonably request, and (II) without limiting the
effect of clause (I) above, each Grantor hereby grants to Secured
Party (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the
First Lien Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Party) an

other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of

Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity or any officer
or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and

Secured Obligations (other than indemnification obligations that
are intended to survive termination of the Note Documents), the
