10.  Remedies Upon An Event Of Default.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected collateral).  In addition, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to  transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, exercise the voting rights with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon, sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale is to take place (which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable), but without any previous notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the legal and record owner thereof.  Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Collateral, with full power of substitution to exercise any of the rights provided in the preceding sentence; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.  Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Administrative Agent may deem fair, and any Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Pledgor or any right of redemption, which each Pledgor hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law.  Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Administrative Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent.

(b)           If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral being sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice from the Administrative Agent to any such Pledgor.

10

(c)           If, at any time that the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its rights to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 9, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Administrative Agent in its discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part thereof, and (iv) may place all or any part of the Pledged Collateral with an investment banking firm for private placement, which firm shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral for its own account.  If any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute), then the Administrative Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale, (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about any Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries so sold and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment, for its own account, and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the UCC and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(d)           Each Pledgor acknowledges that, notwithstanding the legal availability of a private sale or a sale subject to the restrictions described above in paragraph (c), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, elect to register any or all the Pledged Collateral under the Act (or any applicable state securities law).  Each Pledgor, however, recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof.  Each Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller 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 Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registrant to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if each Pledgor would agree to do so.

(e)           Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12 hereof) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in their individual and various agency capacities and any other holder of any Secured Obligations against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.  Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(f)            Each Pledgor agrees that following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Pledge Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and each Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so.  Each Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Pledge Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Administrative Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Administrative Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.  Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Pledged Collateral.

11.  Power Of Attorney.  Each Pledgor appoints the Administrative Agent, or any other Person whom the Administrative Agent may designate, as each Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, power to endorse each  Pledgor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other form of payment or security representing a portion of the Pledged Collateral that may come into the Administrative Agent’s possession and to do all things  necessary to carry out the terms of this Pledge Agreement.  Each Pledgor ratifies and approves all such acts of such attorney-in-fact.   Except gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Person designated by the Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact hereunder will be liable for any acts or omissions, nor for any errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.  This power, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations of each Pledgor (other than indemnities and other similar contingent obligations surviving the termination of this Pledge Agreement for which no claim has been made and which are unknown and not calculable at the time of termination and those Obligations relating to the Hedging Obligations).

12

12.  Administrative Agent’s Right To Take Action.  In the event that any Pledgor fails or refuses  promptly to perform any of its obligations set forth herein, including, without limitation, its obligation pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof to pay taxes, assessments and other charges levied, assessed or imposed on the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise fails or refuses to pay any amount necessary for the preservation and protection of the Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without obligation, by notice to the Pledgors, to do all things it deems necessary to discharge the same (including, without limitation, to pay any such taxes, assessments, charges or other sums, together with interest and penalties thereon) and any sums paid by the Administrative Agent, or the cost thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursed by the Pledgors, to the Administrative Agent on demand and, until so reimbursed, shall bear interest at the highest rate chargeable in accordance with the conditions under Section 2.12(c) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

13.  Expenses.  The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) all reasonable costs, expenses, taxes and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement and all certificates, opinions and other documents relating to these transactions, including, without limitation, the reasonable disbursements and professional fees of Hunton and Williams, counsel to the Administrative Agent, in all cases whether or not the transaction contemplated hereby shall be consummated; (ii) all costs, expenses, taxes and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the perfection, registration, maintenance, administration, custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to any and all present and future stamp, intangible or other taxes in connection with this Pledge Agreement and all other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith, and relating to releases and consents; and (iii) all costs, expenses, taxes and fees incurred by any of the Secured Parties in connection with or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, without limitation, in connection with (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, amendment or consent by the Secured Parties, (b) the negotiation of any restructuring or workout transaction, and the preparation, execution and delivery of any documents prepared in connection therewith, and (c) enforcement or foreclosure with respect to this Pledge Agreement, in all such cases such costs, expenses, taxes and fees shall include, without limitation, the reasonable disbursements and reasonable professional fees actually incurred of counsel to any Secured Party.  To the extent that any such fees and expenses are subject to value added taxes, such taxes will be paid by the Pledgors.  To the extent reimbursement is sought pursuant to this Section 13 or any other document executed pursuant hereto, the Secured Parties shall submit to the Pledgors a statement of expenses to be paid by the Pledgors.  Such expenses shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the original statement to the extent that such Secured Party is entitled to such reimbursement.

14.  Indemnity.  The Pledgors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Secured Parties and each of their respective employees, representatives, officers and directors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, investigations, losses, damages, actions, and demands by any party against the Secured Parties or any of them resulting from any breach or alleged breach by any Pledgor of any representation or warranty made hereunder, or otherwise arising out of this Pledge Agreement, unless, with respect to any of the

13

above, any of the Secured Parties are finally judicially determined to have (a) acted or failed to act with gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) materially breached such Secured Party’s obligations hereunder following a good faith, bona fide claim being brought by Pledgor.  This Section 14 shall survive termination of this Pledge Agreement.

15.  Limitation On the Administrative Agent’s Duty In Respect Of Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Pledged Collateral in its possession or under its control. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or any income thereon, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative 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 Pledged Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.

16.  Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Administrative Agent and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, to the extent permitted by law, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)           any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents;

(b)           any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c)           any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d)           any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any other assets of any Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e)           any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(f)            any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor or a third party pledgor.

17.  Reinstatement.  This Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Pledgor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

18.  Successors And Assigns.  This Pledge Agreement and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of such Pledgor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Pledgor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder.  No Pledgor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

19.  Waivers; Amendment.

(a)           No failure or delay by any Secured Party of any kind in exercising any power, right or remedy hereunder and no course of dealing between any Pledgor on the one hand and the administrative Agent or the holder of any Note on the other hand shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a power, right or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.  The rights of the Secured Parties hereunder and of the Lenders under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver and consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Pledge Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Administrative Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).

20.  Severability.   Any provision of this Pledge Agreement held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to the Pledgors or Administrative Agent hereunder shall be delivered in the manner required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and shall be sufficiently given to Administrative Agent or any Pledgor if addressed or delivered to them at, in the case of the Administrative Agent and Borrowers, its addresses and telecopier numbers specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in the case of any other Pledgor, at their respective addresses and telecopier numbers provided in the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.  All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given at the times set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

22.  Counterparts; Integration.  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 telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Pledge Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto regarding the subject matters hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matter.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement against any Pledgor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(d)           Each party to this Pledge Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Nothing in this Pledge Agreement will affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

24.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

25.  Benefit of Secured Parties.  All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments realized from Pledged Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

26.  Termination of this Pledge Agreement.  No termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights and liabilities of the parties hereto in any way with respect to (i) any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or cancellation, (ii) the Pledged Collateral, or (iii) any Pledgor’s undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations contained in this Pledge Agreement and all such undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations shall survive such termination or cancellation until the payment and performance, in full, of all Secured Obligations (other than indemnities and other similar contingent obligations surviving the termination of this Pledge Agreement for which no claim has been made and which are unknown and not calculable at the time of termination and those Obligations relating to the Hedging Obligations) of the Pledgors and the termination of all commitments to lend or issue letters of credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Subject to Section 17  hereof, this Pledge Agreement and the security interests granted hereunder shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations (other than those Secured Obligations relating to the Hedging Obligations) have been paid in full in cash and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the LC

17

Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Bank has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Upon such termination, Administrative Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral in its possession to the respective Pledgors and will, at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, execute such documents, without recourse or warranty, as Pledgors deem reasonably necessary to release any interests held by Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral.

27.  Additional Pledged Collateral.  In the event that the any Pledgor is required, under the terms of any Loan Document or otherwise, to pledge and hypothecate any Collateral after the Closing Date, such Pledgor shall pledge and hypothecate such Collateral, and be bound with respect to such Col­lateral by all of the terms and conditions hereof, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of an executed counter­part of a Supplement to Subsidiary Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
