Any additional membership interests, limited partnership interests, shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any class of any Pledged Entity which may be hereafter acquired by any Pledgor shall automatically become part of the Pledged Interests covered hereby and such Pledgor shall promptly deliver to Secured Parties any and all





certificates evidencing the same accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank by such Pledgor; provided, however, in the case of any Pledged Entity that is a Foreign Subsidiary of a Pledgor, in no event shall the membership interests, limited partnership interests, capital stock or other equity interests (as the case may be) of such Pledged Entity and constituting part of the Collateral hereunder exceed sixty-five (65%) of the outstanding membership interests, limited partnership interests, capital stock or other equity interests (as the case may be) of such Pledged Entity.

(c)any Pledgor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement in any material respect.

6.2     Remedies. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in Agent by this Agreement, any Transaction Document or by law and including, without limitation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (as defined below) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral), and Agent shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights:
(d)to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 5 to any of the Pledgors and to enforce the payment of the Pledged Securities and to exercise any and all of the rights, powers, and remedies of any Pledgor thereunder;
(e)subject only to applicable law, upon foreclosure or otherwise to the extent permitted under applicable law to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Agent’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees;
(f)subject only to applicable law, after delivery of notice as provided in Section 4, to vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of Agent) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though Agent was the outright owner thereof;
(g)subject only to applicable law, at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Agent in its reasonable discretion may determine. Each Pledgor agrees that to the extent that notice of sale shall be required by any applicable law that ten (10) days’ notice to 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. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Agent may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Secured Parties shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto;
(h)to settle, adjust, compromise and arrange all accounts, controversies, questions, claims and demands whatsoever in relation to all or any part of the Collateral;
(i)to execute all contracts, agreements, documents and instruments to bring, defend and abandon all such actions, suits and proceedings and to take all other actions in relation to all or any part of the Collateral as Agent in their reasonable discretion may determine;
(j)to appoint managers, agents, officers and servants for any of the purposes mentioned in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 and to dismiss the same, all as Agent in their reasonable discretion may determine;
(k)generally, to take all such other action as Agent reasonably may determine as incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers mentioned in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 and which Agent may or can do lawfully and to use the name of any Pledgor for the purposes aforesaid and in any proceedings arising therefrom.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Code” means the Uniform Commercial Code as the same may, from time to time, be enacted and in effect in the State of New York; provided, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles or Divisions of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article or Division 9 shall govern; provided further, that in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection or priority of, or remedies with respect to, Agent’s Lien on any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial





Code as enacted and in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “Code” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in such other jurisdiction solely for purposes of the provisions thereof relating to such attachment, perfection, priority or remedies and for purposes of definitions related to such provisions.
7.REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of Secured Parties provided for in this Agreement, in any Purchase Agreement or in any other Note Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Parties of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement, in the Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Secured Parties of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Secured Parties to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

8.APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All moneys collected by Secured Parties upon any sale, collection or other disposition of any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by Secured Parties hereunder, shall be applied as follows:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Parties in connection therewith;
Second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations then due in such order as Secured Parties may elect; and
Third, after payment in full of all Secured Obligations then due, to Pledgors as their interests may appear or to their successors or permitted assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
Each Pledgor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency owing on the Secured Obligations after the application of the proceeds of the Collateral as provided above.
9.PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of Secured Parties or 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 Secured Parties or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

10.FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will do such acts and things and promptly execute and deliver (and cause the Pledged Entities to promptly execute and deliver) to Agent such financing statements or additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as Agent may reasonably require to perfect and maintain the perfection of Secured Parties’ Liens hereunder in the Collateral and to otherwise carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto Secured Parties its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto (or equivalents thereof in any foreign countries) that indicate the Collateral and contain any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment (or equivalents thereof in any foreign countries), including whether Pledgor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Pledgor.

12.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that: (i) it is the legal record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Pledged Interests described in Section 2 hereof, subject to no Lien whatsoever (other than Liens in favor of Secured Parties), (ii) Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Pledged Securities and the other Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the delivery of possession of the pledged certificates with indorsements in blank to Secured Parties (in the case of any certificated Pledged Interests) and the filing of any appropriate financing statements (or equivalents thereof in any foreign countries), no consent of any other party (including, without limitation, any other creditor of Pledgor) and no order, consent, license, permit, approval, validation or authorization of, exemption by, notice to or registration, recording, filing or declaration with, any governmental or public body or authority is

Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms, and hereby agrees to ratify and confirm, whatever lawful acts Agent shall do or purport to do in the exercise of the power of attorney granted to Agent by Pledgor pursuant to this Section, which power of attorney, being given for security, is irrevocable.

16.Lien Absolute. All rights of Secured Parties hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Purchase Agreement, any other Note Documents or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
(c)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

17.TERMINATION. This Agreement and all security interests and other liens granted or conveyed hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall be irrevocable until the time at which all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, at which time this Agreement and all such security interests and other liens will terminate, subject to reinstatement as provided below. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right such Pledgor may have upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations to require Secured Parties to terminate their security interests in the Collateral or any financing statement relating thereto until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the foregoing terms. Effective upon the consummation of a disposition of any Collateral to any Person (other than the Pledgors) to the extent such disposition is expressly permitted under the Purchase Agreement and the application of proceeds thereof in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the security interest granted under the Transactions Documents in such Collateral (but not any of the proceeds thereof) so disposed of will terminate and the Secured Parties shall, upon Issuer’s request and at Issuer’s sole cost and expense, promptly deliver such releases as may be appropriate to give public notice of such release, provided, however, the security interest granted under the Note Documents in all remaining Collateral will remain in full force and effect. Each Pledgor agrees that, if any payment made by any Pledgor or other Person and applied to the Secured 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 any Collateral are required to be returned by Secured Parties to such Pledgor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal 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. If any lien or other Collateral securing such Pledgor’s liability shall have been released or terminated by virtue of this Agreement, such lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Pledgor in respect of any lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

18.MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided, however that no Pledgor shall assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of Agent. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement which shall remain binding on all parties hereto. Each Pledgor waives acceptance and notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Secured Parties. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto.

19.GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. This Agreement, including all matters of construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of NEW YORK, without regard to conflicts of laws principles, and any applicable laws of the United States. THE TERMS OF SECTIONS 5.8 AND 5.21 OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, consent to service of process AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO SUCH TERMS.
