Counterparty shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency

applicable Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Grantor, to
the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, hereby consents to
such action by the Hedge Counterparty and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such
action by such party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such

Hedge Counterparty may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Grantor may
deem advisable; and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on
any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be
lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of Goods, the sale or lease

may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whether before or after
any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Obligations, notify any
party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment or otherwise render
performance to or for the benefit of the Hedge Counterparty and enforce, by suit or otherwise the
obligations of any such party obligated on any Non-Tangible Collateral. In connection therewith,
the
Hedge Counterparty may surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise
or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness
thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Hedge Counterparty following the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default and to the extent not inconsistent with its
obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any party
obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to or for the benefit of the Hedge
Counterparty of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

created by this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Facility

Sections 8-102(a)(17) and 8-501(a), respectively, of the UCC), each Grantor shall take and cause
the appropriate Person (including any securities intermediary thereof) to take all actions
necessary to grant “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) to the Hedge Counterparty
over such Collateral including, without limitation, causing to be delivered to the Hedge
Counterparty an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Hedge Counterparty, executed
by the securities intermediary thereof whereby such securities intermediary agrees (i) that it will
comply with entitlement orders originated by the Hedge Counterparty without further consent by such
Grantor or any other Person with respect to all such Collateral (it being understood that such
agreement may provide that at all times when such securities intermediary has not been notified by
the Hedge Counterparty to the contrary, the securities intermediary may comply with entitlement
orders of such Grantor), (ii) to subordinate any security interest it may have in and to all such
Collateral to the security interest of the Hedge Counterparty therein, and (iii) that it will not
agree with any Person other than the Hedge Counterparty in any manner that would grant such Person
“control” over any such Collateral without the Hedge Counterparty’s prior written consent.
(e) To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each
Pledgor will, from time to time upon the request of the Hedge Counterparty, promptly deliver to the
Hedge Counterparty Collateral constituting such stock powers, instruments, and similar documents,
satisfactory in form and substance to the Hedge Counterparty, with respect to the Collateral as the
Hedge Counterparty may reasonably request and will, from time to time upon the request of the Hedge
Counterparty after the occurrence of any Default, promptly transfer any Pledged Shares, Pledged
Interests or other shares of common stock, member interests or other ownership interests
constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by the Hedge Counterparty.
(f) To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties and
subject to clause (g) below, each Pledgor will, at all times, keep pledged to the Hedge
Counterparty all Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests and all other shares of capital stock, member
interests or other ownership interests constituting Collateral, and
all securities, security entitlements and securities accounts constituting Collateral,
Dividends and Distributions constituting Collateral with respect thereto, all Pledged Notes
constituting Collateral, all interest, principal and other proceeds constituting Collateral
received by the Hedge Counterparty with respect to the Pledged Notes constituting Collateral, all
Pledged Note Liens constituting Collateral and all other Collateral and other securities,
instruments, security entitlements, financial assets, investment property, proceeds,
22
and rights constituting Collateral from time to time received by or distributable to a Pledgor
in respect of any Collateral.
(g) In the event that any Dividend or Distribution constituting Collateral is to be paid on
any Pledged Share or any Pledged Interest constituting Collateral or any payment of principal or
interest constituting Collateral is to be made on any Pledged Note constituting Collateral at a
time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Dividend, Distribution or
payment constituting Collateral may be paid directly to the relevant Grantor. If any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, then any such Dividend, Distribution or payment shall be
paid directly to the Hedge Counterparty in accordance with
Section 12(h).
(h) To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each
Pledgor agrees:
(i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
promptly upon receipt thereof by any Pledgor and without any request therefor by the Hedge
Counterparty, to deliver (properly endorsed where required hereby or requested by the Hedge
Counterparty) to the Hedge Counterparty all Collateral consisting of Dividends,
Distributions, all interest, all principal, all other cash payments, and all proceeds of
the Collateral, all of which shall be held by the Hedge Counterparty as additional
Collateral for use in accordance with Section 13(f); and
(ii) after any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Hedge
Counterparty has notified the relevant Pledgor of the Hedge Counterparty’s intention to
exercise its voting power under this clause (ii), (A) the Hedge Counterparty may
exercise (to the exclusion of such Pledgor) the voting power and all other incidental
rights of ownership with respect to any Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or other shares
of capital stock, member interests or other ownership interests in each case constituting
Collateral and EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY GRANTS THE HEDGE COUNTERPARTY AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY,
EXERCISABLE UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE PLEDGED INTERESTS
CONSTITUTING COLLATERAL, WITH SUCH PROXY TO
REMAIN VALID UNTIL THE PAYMENT IN FULL IN CASH OF ALL OBLIGATIONS, THE TERMINATION OR
EXPIRATION OF ALL COMMITMENTS; and (B) promptly to deliver to the Hedge Counterparty such
additional proxies and other documents as may be necessary to allow the Hedge Counterparty
to exercise such voting power with respect to such Collateral, in each case to the extent
not inconsistent with its obligations to Other Secured Parties;
(i) All Collateral constituting Dividends, Distributions, interest, principal, cash payments,
and proceeds and all rights under the UK Note and the UK Note Related Security which may at any
time and from time to time be held by a Pledgor but which such Pledgor is then obligated to deliver
to the Hedge Counterparty, shall, until delivery to the Hedge Counterparty, be held by such Pledgor
separate and apart from its other property in trust for the Hedge Counterparty. The Hedge
Counterparty agrees that unless it has received written notice from the Hedge Counterparty or the
Hedge Counterparty that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Hedge
Counterparty shall have given the notice referred to in Section 12(h)(ii), such Pledgor
shall have the exclusive voting power with respect to any shares of capital stock,
23
member interests or other ownership interest (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged
Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral and the Hedge Counterparty shall, upon the
written request of such Pledgor, promptly deliver (at the Grantors’ joint and several expense) such
proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by such Pledgor which are
necessary to allow such Pledgor to exercise voting power with respect to any such share of capital
stock, member interests or other ownership interests (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged
Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral;
provided, however, that no vote
shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action taken by any Pledgor- that
could reasonably be expected to be adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Hedge
Counterparty, or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of the Loan Agreement, the Hedge
Documents or any other Facility Document (including this Agreement).
(j) No Pledgor will, without the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty: (A) enter
into any agreement amending, supplementing, or waiving in any material respect any provision of any
Collateral consisting of any Pledged Note, any Pledged Note Lien or any UK Pledged Share (including
the underlying instrument pursuant to which such Pledged Note, Pledged Note Lien or UK Pledged
Share is issued) or compromising or releasing or extending the time for payment of any obligation
of the maker thereof, (B) take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of that would
result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of Pledged Note, Pledged Note
Lien, UK Pledged Share or other instrument constituting Collateral, (C) permit the issuance of (x)
any Collateral consisting of additional equity interests of any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged
Interest Issuer (unless immediately upon such issuance the same
are pledged and delivered to the Hedge Counterparty pursuant to the terms hereof, to the
extent necessary to give the Hedge Counterparty a security interest after such issue in at least
the same percentage of such Pledgor’s outstanding interests as before such issue), (y) any
Collateral consisting of securities or other ownership interests convertible voluntarily by the
holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition
into, or exchangeable for, any such shares or other ownership interests, or (z) any Collateral
consisting of warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or
otherwise acquire any such shares or other ownership interests, or (D) enter into any agreement
creating or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or
control of any Collateral consisting of any Pledged Share, Pledged Interest or UK Pledged Share
that could reasonably be deemed to be adverse to the Hedge Counterparty. Each Pledgor shall
provide, or cause the relevant Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer to provide, the
Hedge Counterparty with a copy of any amendment or supplement to, or modification or waiver of, any
term or provision of any of the organizational documents of such relevant Pledged Share Issuer or
Pledged Interest Issuer, provided that such Pledgor shall not enter into any such amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver of the organizational documents of such relevant Pledged Share
Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer which could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests
of the Hedge Counterparty. The Pledgors covenant and agree that they shall not consent to or permit
(1) any Collateral consisting of any Pledged Interest to be dealt with or traded on any securities
exchanges or in any securities market or (2) any Collateral consisting of any Pledge Interest
Issuer to elect to have its Pledged Interests treated as a “security” under Article 8 of the UCC
unless the relevant Pledgors have (I) caused such Collateral consisting of any Pledged Interest to
be certificated and (II) delivered all certificates evidencing such Collateral consisting of such
Pledged Interest to the Hedge Counterparty, together with duly executed undated blank transfer
powers, or other equivalent instruments of transfer acceptable to the Hedge Counterparty.
24
(k) Each Pledgor shall take such actions such that its Collateral consisting of Pledged
Interests and Pledged Shares at all times shall be duly authorized, validly registered, fully paid
and non-assessable, and shall not be registered in violation of the organic documents of the
Pledgors or the preemptive rights of any Person, if any, or of any agreement by which the Pledgors
or any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer is bound.
13.
Defaults and Events of Default; Remedies.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Hedge Counterparty its attorney-in-fact,
with-full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or
otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Hedge Counterparty may request
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for,
recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due
under or in respect
of any of the Collateral, (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Collateral
in connection with clause (i) above, (iii) to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings which the Hedge Counterparty may request for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Hedge Counterparty with respect to any of the
Collateral, and (iv) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder. EACH GRANTOR
HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION 13 IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL ALL
OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL IN CASH AND ALL COMMITMENTS HAVE TERMINATED.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to its rights in
the foregoing clause (a) and without limiting the generality of such clause, the Hedge
Counterparty may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC,
under any other applicable Requirements of Law and in the clauses
(c) through (g) set forth
below in this Section 13.
(c) Each Grantor agrees, (i) at the Hedge Counterparty’s request if a Default has occurred and
is continuing, to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures)
and all records for all Collateral at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Hedge
Counterparty, and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Hedge
Counterparty’s request, to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be
necessary or desirable in order to enable the Hedge Counterparty or its nominee to be registered as
owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.
(d) Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail,
hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed
to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon
delivery to an express delivery service, upon the electronic submission through telephonic services
or, if by facsimile transmission, when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful
transmission, as applicable. Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) with respect to
Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with
25
respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after default
and at least ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time
before disposition.
(e) Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a disposition (i) made in the usual
manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized
market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices
among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed
commercially reasonable.
(f) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Hedge Counterparty of any of the Collateral
shall be applied by the Hedge Counterparty, first, to payment of the Hedge Counterparty’s expenses
in connection with the Collateral, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses, and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the Obligations in such order of
application as the Hedge Counterparty may from time to time direct, and thereafter any surplus will
be paid to the applicable Grantor or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. The Hedge
Counterparty need not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and
enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the
applicable Grantor has provided the Hedge Counterparty with a written demand to apply or pay over
such noncash proceeds on such basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent
not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each Grantor waives all claims,
damages and demands it may acquire against the Hedge Counterparty arising out of the exercise by
the Hedge Counterparty of any rights hereunder.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Hedge Counterparty 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 on default under the
UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except
as specified below, (or, if notice cannot be waived under the UCC, as required to be provided by
the UCC) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of the Hedge Counterparty’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Hedge Counterparty may deem commercially reasonable.
Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10)
days’ prior notice to such Grantor 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. The Hedge Counterparty
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Hedge Counterparty 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.
(i) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Hedge Counterparty may
transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Hedge Counterparty or its
nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security
interest hereunder, notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the
Hedge Counterparty of any amount due or to become due thereunder, enforce collection of any of the
Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or
compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original
period) any obligations of any nature
26
of any party with respect thereto, endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s
name to allow collection of the Collateral, take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and
execute (in the name, place and stead of each Grantor) endorsements, assignments, transfer powers
and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
(j) To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each
Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Hedge Counterparty is hereby authorized to comply with any
limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary
in order to avoid any violation of applicable Requirements of Law (including compliance with such
procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such
prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective
bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their
own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral),
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental
regulatory authority or official, and, to the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the
Other Secured Parties, each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such
sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor
shall the Hedge Counterparty be liable nor accountable to the Grantors for any discount allowed by
the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or
restriction. The Hedge Counterparty may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties or
representations as to the Collateral. The Hedge Counterparty may disclaim any warranties of title
or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
14. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Hedge Counterparty will have no duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee
or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto. The Hedge Counterparty will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not
be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the
value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Hedge
Counterparty in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Hedge Counterparty pursuant
to instructions from the Hedge Counterparty, except to the extent that such liability arises from
the Hedge Counterparty’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Hedge Counterparty to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is
commercially reasonable for the Hedge Counterparty (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed
significant by the Hedge Counterparty to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party
consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to
fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove liens or
27
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of
collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a
specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the
Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to
hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or
not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet
sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have
the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose
of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties,
including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit
enhancements to insure the Hedge Counterparty against risks of loss, collection or disposition of
Collateral, or to provide to the Hedge Counterparty a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral or (1) to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Hedge Counterparty in the collection or disposition of any of
the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Hedge Counterparty would not be
commercially unreasonable in the Hedge Counterparty’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by the Hedge Counterparty shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. Without
limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any
right to a Grantor or to impose any duties on the Hedge Counterparty that would not have been
granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this
Section.
15. Relationship to First Priority Security Agreement; First Priority Collateral
Agent.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the
Obligations are secured under the First Priority Security Agreement, the Hedge Counterpart),
agrees not to exercise its rights or take any action under this Agreement, unless such action is
authorized, or such right granted, to the Hedge Counterparty as a Lender Party under the First
Priority Security Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and prior to the Discharge of First
Priority Claims (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), to the extent that the Obligations are
not secured under the First Priority Security Agreement, the Hedge Counterparty agrees not to
exercise its rights or take any action under this Agreement which would materially conflict with,
or interfere with the arrangements contemplated by, the First Priority Security Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement.
16. General.
If, at the option of the relevant Grantor or as required pursuant to the Facility Documents, a
Grantor shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such
Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Hedge Counterparty a joinder agreement substantially in
the form of Attachment II with such other changes as may be acceptable to the Hedge
Counterparty
28
(each a “Joinder Agreement”), and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and
have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the date hereof.
In the alternative, if any Grantor shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become
a Grantor under the Facility Documents by executing a joinder agreement under the First Priority
Security Agreement, such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Hedge Counterparty such joinder agreement
upon execution for acknowledgement by the Hedge Counterparty, and
upon acknowledgement of such
Joinder Agreement by the Hedge Counterparty such Subsidiary shall thereafter for all purposes be a
party hereto and have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the date hereof.
Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement is
sufficient as a financing statement. The Grantors hereby ratify their authorization contained in
Section 11(a)(i) for the Hedge Counterparty to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdiction prior to the date hereof any financing statement or amendment thereto filed prior to
the date hereof.
All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be
sent, in the case of any Grantor, to the address of such Grantor shown on Schedule XI to
the First Priority Security Agreement and, in the case of the Hedge Counterparty, at its address
set forth on Schedule XI to the First Priority Security Agreement, or to such other address
as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address
for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile
transmission or e-mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent against mechanical
confirmation of successful transmission; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given
three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and
notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when
received.
To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each of the
Grantors agrees to pay, jointly and severally, all fees and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Hedge Counterparty in endeavoring to collect all or any
portion of the Obligations of any Grantor and in enforcing this Agreement against any Grantor, and
all such fees and expenses shall constitute Obligations.
No delay on the part of the Hedge Counterparty in the exercise of any right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Hedge Counterparty of any
right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
or remedy.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in
full in cash and the Hedge Documents have terminated. If at any time all or any part of any payment
theretofore applied by the Hedge Counterparty to any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or
returned by the Hedge Counterparty for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor), such Obligations shall, for the purposes
of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed
to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Hedge Counterparty, and
this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
29
as to such Obligations, all as though such application by the Hedge Counterparty had not been
made.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable Requirements of Law, but if any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or
the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is
brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Grantor’s obligations
under this Agreement under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar
avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Grantor (the “Affected Person”),
automatically and without any further action being required of such Affected Person or the Hedge
Counterparty, shall be liable under this Agreement only for an
amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable
law by such Affected Person under any pledge to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at
the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be
the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of such Affected Person’s obligations
hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date
determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical pledge voidable under
applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other
grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being any such Affected Person’s
“Maximum Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Pledge
Agreement as to such Affected Person had instead been the Maximum Amount. This paragraph is
intended solely to preserve the rights of Hedge Counterparty under this Agreement to the maximum
extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law, and neither any Affected
Person nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect
to the limitation described in this Agreement, except to the extent necessary so that the
obligations of any Affected Person under this Agreement shall not be rendered voidable under
applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination
of a Maximum Amount for any Affected Person pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding
sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any
other Grantor (including any other Affected Person) under the provisions of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a)
remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Hedge
Documents shall have terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees
and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Hedge Counterparty
hereunder, to the benefit of the Hedge Counterparty and its successors, transferees and assigns. No
Grantor may assign (unless otherwise permitted under the terms of the Facility Documents) any of
its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the
date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and
delivering to the Hedge Counterparty a counterpart of this Agreement together with supplements to
30
the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of
the date of such delivery. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further
action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms
of, this Agreement.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH. REFERENCE TO
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT).
EACH PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS NO RIGHT TO IMMUNITY FROM THE SERVICE
OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT OR FROM EXECUTION OF
ANY JUDGMENT OR FROM THE EXECUTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREIN OF ANY ARBITRATION DECISION IN RESPECT
OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY IS
OR BECOMES ENTITLED TO ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR
ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IT DOES
HEREBY AND WILL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH
RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY
CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO BY THE MAILING OF A COPY
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO ITS
RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SPECIFIED AT THE TIME FOR NOTICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS
OF WHICH IT SHALL HAVE GIVEN WRITTEN OR ELECTRONIC NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTIES. THE FOREGOING
SHALL NOT LIMIT THE
ABILITY OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO BRING SUIT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
31
EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the
parties hereto, the holders of Obligations and their respective successors and permitted
assignees; provided that the Hedge Counterparty shall enforce this Agreement on behalf of
all holders of Obligations.
This Agreement is a Facility Document, and may only be amended, waived or otherwise modified

17.Foreign Pledge Agreements.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility
Document, in the event that any Collateral is also pledged to the Hedge Counterparty to secure the
Obligations by any Grantor pursuant to any security, pledge or similar agreement governed by
foreign law (a “Foreign Pledge Agreement”) and the provisions of such Foreign Pledge
Agreement conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Grantor shall comply with
the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement and shall not be deemed to have breached any
representation or covenant contained herein or in any other Facility Document as a result thereof.
(b) If Supporting Assets with respect to the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note, in each
case to the extent constituting Collateral, are the subject of a Collateral Disposition at a time
when (x) the Fair Market Value of such Supporting Assets is less than (y) the Carrying Value
thereof as of the Closing Date (the difference between such amounts beings the “Adjustment
Amount”); ResCap shall be entitled, following consultation with the Hedge Counterparty, to
reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note, as
applicable, by the Adjustment Amount; provided that such Collateral Disposition complies
