Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral:

All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by the Pledgors contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgors and shall be forthwith paid over and/or delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, subject in all cases to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, any other Second-Lien Document or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, subject in all cases to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to the extent permitted under the Second-Lien Documents and applicable law, to exercise the following rights, which the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:

(i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to the Pledgors;

(ii) to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees;

(iii) to vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (the Pledgors hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Collateral Agent the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgors, with full power of substitution to do so);

(iv) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, 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 waived by the Pledgors, to the extent permitted by law), 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 the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may determine to the extent permitted by law, provided that at least 10 days’ written notice of the time and place of any such sale or the date after which any such private sale shall be given to the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been given. The Pledgors hereby waive and release to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Debentureholder shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto;

(v) to set-off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations; and

8. REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each and every right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or in any other Second-Lien 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 the Collateral Agent or any Debentureholder of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Second-Lien 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 the Collateral Agent of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on a Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Debentureholders agree that this Agreement

may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and that no other Debentureholder shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Debentureholders upon the terms of this Agreement.

Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Debentureholder of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Debentureholder, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as applicable, of the other Debentureholders, with each Debentureholder whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as applicable, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as applicable, of such Debentureholder and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Debentureholders entitled to such distribution.

(d) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Collateral Agent for the account of the Debentureholders.

(e) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 9, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee for a determination of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Debentureholders. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Debentureholder) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding.

(f) It is understood and agreed that the Issuer shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged hereunder and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Pledgors.

10. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the receipt of the Collateral Agent 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 the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

11. INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee and each Debentureholder and their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents and affiliates (individually an “Indemnitee,” and collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in each case growing out of or resulting from this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under any other Second-Lien Document (but excluding any claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies actually received by it in accordance with the terms

hereof. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Pledgor under this Section 11 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

12. COLLATERAL AGENT NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER. (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any Debentureholder liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Debentureholder by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or partnership.

(b) The Collateral Agent, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to the Pledgors, any limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Collateral Agent shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Debentureholders shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership or each Pledgor.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent and the other Debentureholders shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of each Pledgor as a result of the pledge hereby effected.

(d) To the extent permitted by law, the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Collateral Agent or any Debentureholder to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Collateral Agent in executing, if applicable, and, at the Pledgors’ own expense, file and refile under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents in such offices as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary and wherever required by law in order to perfect and preserve the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral where permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require or deem necessary to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

(b) The Pledgors hereby appoint the Collateral Agent the Pledgors’ attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgors and in the name of the Pledgors or otherwise, to act from time to time solely after the occurrence and during the

continuance of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

14. THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS AGENT. (a) The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by each Debentureholder that by accepting the benefits of this Agreement each such Debentureholder acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Intercreditor Agreement and in Article 12 of the Second-Lien Notes Indenture; provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 9 herein in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Second-Lien Notes Indenture.

(b) Unless the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee has appointed a co-trustee under the terms of the Second-Lien Notes Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Second-Lien Notes Indenture Trustee under the Second-Lien Notes Indenture. Written notice of resignation by the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.08 of the Second-Lien Notes Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Second-Lien Notes Indenture Trustee under Section 7.08 of the Second-Lien Notes Indenture by a successor Second Lien Indenture Trustee, that successor Second-Lien Indenture Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Trustee’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) The 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 UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee, the Debentureholders or 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 either Pledgor 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 Collateral Agent hereunder are

solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee or any Debentureholder to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee and the Debentureholders 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 the Pledgors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Second-Lien Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against the Pledgor or any other Person, or to ascertain or take any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Pledgor, to the extent permitted by applicable law waives any right to require the Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee or any Debentureholder to proceed against such Pledgor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Collateral Agent, the Second-Lien Indenture Trustee or any Debentureholder now has or may hereafter have against such Pledgor or other Person.

15. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. Neither Pledgor will sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein (except as may be permitted in accordance with the terms of the Second-Lien Documents).

16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS. (a) Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants that it is the legal, beneficial and record owner of, and has good title to, all Collateral pledged by it hereunder and that it has sufficient interest in all Collateral pledged by it hereunder in which a security interest is purported to be created hereunder for such security interest to attach (subject, in each case, to no pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option, Adverse Claim or other encumbrance whatsoever, except the liens and security interests created by this Agreement and the Permitted Liens);

(i) the Stock has been duly and validly issued and acquired, is fully paid and non assessable and is not subject to options to purchase or similar rights;

(ii) the pledge and collateral assignment to, and possession by, the Collateral Agent of the Collateral pledged by the Pledgors hereunder consisting of Certificated Securities pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid first priority security interest in such Certificated Securities, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior Lien or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Lien on the property or assets of the Pledgors which would include the Certificated Securities, except for Permitted Liens, and the Collateral Agent is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect security interests in respect of such Collateral; and;

(iii) upon the delivery of any Stock constituting Certificated Securities together with stock powers executed in blank to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have obtained “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) over all Stock with respect to which such “control” may be obtained pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Pledgors covenant and agree that they will defend the Collateral Agent’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever (other than Permitted Liens); and each of the Pledgors covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the right thereto and security interest therein of the Collateral Agent and the Debentureholders (subject to Permitted Liens).

17. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that, on the date hereof: (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Pledgor is specified in Annex A hereto; (ii) the chief executive office of such Pledgor is located at the address specified in Annex C hereto; and (iii) the organizational identification number of such Pledgor is specified in Annex A hereto. The Pledgor shall not change its jurisdiction of organization or move its chief executive office except to such new jurisdiction or location as such Pledgor may establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 17. Neither Pledgor shall establish a new jurisdiction of organization or a new location for such chief executive office until (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of its intention so to do, providing clear details of such new jurisdiction of organization or new location, as the case may be, and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new jurisdiction of organization or new location, as the case may be, it shall have taken all action, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof), to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect. Promptly after establishing a new jurisdiction of organization or new location for such chief executive offices in accordance with the immediately preceeding sentence, the Pledgors shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Annex A hereto, so as to cause such Annex A to be complete and accurate.

18. PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. To the extent permitted by law, the obligations of the Pledgors under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Second-Lien Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement; (iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Collateral Agent or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Collateral Agent or its assignee; (iv) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof;

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates, and the Collateral Agent have entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2009 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the Pledgor will pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Debentureholders (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and grant a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Debentureholders in, all of the right, title and interest of the Pledgor in and to any and all “uncertificated securities” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(18) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of New York) (“Uncertificated Securities”) (with all of such Uncertificated Securities being herein collectively called the “Issuer Pledged Interests”); and

WHEREAS, the Pledgor desires the Issuer to enter into this Agreement in order to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement in the Issuer Pledged Interests, to vest in the Collateral Agent control of the Issuer Pledge Interests and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Pledgor is party to that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates, Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch (in such capacity and together with any successors, assigns and replacements in such capacity, the “First-Lien Collateral Agent”) and the Collateral Agent.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees, after receiving a notice from the Collateral Agent stating that an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, to comply with any and all instructions and orders originated by the Collateral Agent (and its successors and assigns) regarding any and all of the Issuer Pledged Interests without the further consent by the

ANNEX D

Pledge Agreement

registered owner (including the Pledgor), and, not to comply with any instructions or orders regarding any or all of the Issuer Pledged Interests originated by any person or entity other than the Collateral Agent (and its successors and assigns) or a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.

3. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that (i) the pledge by the Pledgor of, and the granting by the Pledgor of a security interest in, the Issuer Pledged Interests to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Debentureholders, does not violate the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement, membership agreement or any other agreement governing the Issuer or the Issuer Pledged Interests, and (ii) the Issuer Pledged Interests are fully paid and nonassessable.

4. All notices, statements of accounts, reports, prospectuses, financial statements and other communications to be sent to the Pledgor by the Issuer in respect of the Issuer will also be sent to the Collateral Agent at the following address:
