any action in the form of a reorganization, merger or other restructuring a principal purpose of which is to provide for the release of the Lien on any Capital Stock pursuant to this clause (a).

          (b) proceeds and products from any and all of the foregoing excluded collateral described in clause (a), unless such proceeds or products would otherwise constitute Collateral hereunder.

          3. Security for Obligations. This Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of each Indenture Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by any of the Indenture Parties to the Secured Parties under the Indenture Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Indenture Party.

          4. Delivery of the Collateral. Subject to the terms of the General Intercreditor Agreement, all certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be promptly delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto to the extent required by the Purchase Agreement and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     (d) The execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Pledge Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in such Collateral and, upon delivery of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York, shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on and security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by the terms of bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

Each certificate evidencing partnership/membership interests in the Partnership/Company shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest in [name of Partnership/LLC] and shall be a security for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.” No change to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation and any new certificates thereafter issued shall not bear the foregoing legend.”

          (b) The Company agrees that all Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 of any Pledgor or any Subsidiary thereof that is owing to any Indenture Party shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes.

Pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, the Collateral Agent is authorized to appoint one or more Co-Collateral Agents, and for the purposes of this Agreement, references to the Collateral Agent shall mean the Collateral Agent and any Co-Collateral Agents appointed in accordance with the Indenture.

          11. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the 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 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 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 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 Collateral Agent accords its own property.

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

     (a) The 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 UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may with notice to the relevant Pledgor, 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 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 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 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 Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by 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 Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any pri-

vate sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 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 law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the 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 Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

     (b) Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the 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 Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after receipt, as follows:

     (i) first, to pay amounts owing to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, any Indenture Document or any Additional Secured Debt Documents;

     (ii) second, to reimburse the Secured Parties for any indemnification amounts paid to the Collateral Agent;

     (iii) third, to the payment of all amounts owing in respect of the Obligations on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of the Obligations owed to Secured Parties; and

     (iv) fourth, the balance, if any, to the Company or Pledgors or such other persons as are entitled thereto.

Upon the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 12, each Secured Party or their Authorized Representative shall provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in this Section 12 that each such Secured Party or their Authorized Representative believes it is entitled to receive, and the Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to rely on such certificates.

     (c) If, despite the provisions of this Section 12, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Se-

cured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with clause (b) above.

     (d) Subject to the General Intercreditor Agreement and Sections 8, 11 and 12(a), the Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Pledgor in respect of the Collateral.

          13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any Pledgor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Indenture and the other Indenture Documents, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the 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 Pledge Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Pledgor or any other person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Pledgor or any other person or any release of any Pledgor or any other person shall not relieve any Pledgor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

          14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Indenture; Release.

          (a) This Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Liens hereunder on the Collateral shall be released pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Indenture.

          (b) A Subsidiary Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Collateral of such Subsidiary Pledgor shall be automatically released upon

such Subsidiary Pledgor ceasing to be a Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.06 of the Indenture.

          (c) The Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens of this Agreement (i) to the extent provided for in Section 11.04 of the Indenture and (ii) if applicable, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Indenture. Any such release in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral shall result in such Collateral being sold, transferred or disposed of, as applicable, free and clear of the Liens of this Agreement.

          (d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

          15. Reinstatement. Each Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Indenture Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Indenture Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Pledgor in respect of the amount of such payment.

          16. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 14.02 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to any Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 14.02 of the Indenture.

          17. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Pledge Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

          18. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge 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 unenforce-

able 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 Pledge Agreement together with the other Indenture Documents represents the agreement of each of the Pledgors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the 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 Indenture Documents.

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

          (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Pledgor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9.01 or 9.02 of the Indenture.

          (b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any 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 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 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 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 Pledge 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. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

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

          24. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement and the other Indenture Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-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 may 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 Person at its address referred to in Section 16 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any party hereto (or any 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 PLEDGE 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. Subject to General Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents, and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the General Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the

terms of the General Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the General Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

          27. Additional Secured Obligations. On or after the Issue Date and so long as permitted by the Indenture, the Company may from time to time designate additional Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor permitted to be Incurred under the Indenture and to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral as additional Obligations hereunder (“Additional Secured Obligations”) by delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative (a) a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Company (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as Additional Secured Obligations for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation of such obligations as Additional Secured Obligations complies with the terms of the Indenture Documents and the applicable Additional Secured Debt Documents and (iii) specifying the name and address of the Authorized Representative for such obligations, (b) a fully executed Additional Secured Party Consent (in the form attached as Annex B); and (c) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the designation of such obligations as “Additional Secured Obligations” is in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. Each Authorized Representative agrees that upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall act as agent under and subject to the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including without limitation, any Secured Parties that hold any such Additional Secured Obligations, and each Authorized Representative agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Collateral Agent as agent for the holders of such Additional Secured Obligations as set forth in each Additional Secured Party Consent and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Additional Secured Party it represents, to be bound by this Agreement.
