No Grantor shall allow or permit any of its Subsidiaries (i) that is a corporation, business trust, joint stock company or similar Person, to issue Uncertificated Securities, unless such Person promptly takes the actions set forth in Section 4.1(b)(ii) with respect to any such Uncertificated Securities, (ii) that is a partnership or limited liability company, to (A) issue Capital Securities that are to be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) expressly provide in its organic documents that its Capital Securities are securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC, or (C) place such Subsidiary’s Capital Securities in a Securities Account, unless such Person promptly takes the actions set forth in Section 4.1(b)(ii) with respect to any such Capital Securities, and (iii) to issue Capital Securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Property or any other Capital Securities pledged hereunder, except for additional Capital Securities issued to such Grantor; provided that (A) such Capital Securities are immediately pledged and delivered to the Lender and (B) such Grantor delivers a supplement to Schedule I to the Lender identifying such new Capital Securities as Pledged Property, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement. No Grantor shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments or other securities that are convertible to any of the foregoing or that entitle any Person to purchase any of the foregoing, and except for this Security Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any agreement creating any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Property.

The Lender shall, upon the written request of such Grantor, promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, such proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by such Grantor which are necessary to allow such Grantor to exercise that voting power with respect to any such Capital Securities (including any of the Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action taken by such Grantor that would violate any provision of the Note or this Security Agreement.

(c) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Lender may endorse, in the name of any Grantor, any item, howsoever received by the Lender, representing any payment on or other Proceeds of any of the Collateral.

SECTION 4.6. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights.
(a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Letter of Credit Rights to the Lender, intends to (and hereby does) collaterally assign to the Lender its rights (including its contingent rights) to the Proceeds of all Letter of Credit Rights of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Promptly following the date on which any Grantor obtains any Letter of Credit Rights after the date hereof, such Grantor shall (i) deliver a supplement to Schedule II identifying such new Letter-of-Credit Right and (ii) cause the issuer of each Letter of Credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the Proceeds thereof in a consent agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Lender.

SECTION 4.8. Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, with a value in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender thereof and, at the request of the Lender and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall take such action as the Lender may request (which shall be consistent with that taken in connection with the Credit Agreement ) to vest in the Lender control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Lender agrees with such Grantor that the Lender will arrange, pursuant to procedures substantially similar to those utilized by the First Lien Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement and so long as such procedures will not result in the Lender’s loss of control, for such Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

Each Grantor agrees that, upon the acquisition after the date hereof by such Grantor of any Collateral, with respect to which the security interest granted hereunder is not perfected automatically upon such acquisition, to take such actions with respect to such Collateral or any part thereof as required by this Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor will:

The authorization contained in this Section 4.9 shall be irrevocable and continuing until the Termination Date;
(c) deliver to the Lender or a bailee therefore and at all times keep pledged to the Lender pursuant hereto, on a second-priority, perfected basis, at the request of the Lender, all Investment Property constituting Collateral (except for Permitted Liens), all Distributions with respect thereto, and all interest and principal with respect to promissory notes, and all Proceeds and rights from time to time received by or distributable to such Grantor in respect of any of the foregoing Collateral;
(d) not create any tangible Chattel Paper without placing a legend on such tangible Chattel Paper indicating that the Lender has a security interest in such Chattel Paper;
(e) furnish to the Lender, from time to time at the Lender’s request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail; and
(f) do all things reasonably requested by the Lender in accordance with this Security Agreement in order to enable the Lender to have and maintain control over the Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter of Credit Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, any amendments thereto, and other similar documents necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Lender to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or any portion thereof, in each of the foregoing cases, without the signature and without further authorization of such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

THE LENDER
SECTION 5.1. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender 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 in the Lender’s discretion, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including (a) 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, (b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) above, (c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, and (d) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 5.2. Lender Has No Duty.
(a) The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property and any other Pledged Property, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender may from time to time, when the Lender deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Lender hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral (and shall notify EPL of such appointment; provided, that the failure to so notify EPL shall not affect the provisions of this Section 5.2(b)). In the event that the Lender so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by the Grantors hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Lender, as security for the Secured Obligations, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Lender, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests, obligations and remedies of the Lender hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Lender,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests, obligations and remedies of the Lender with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Lender.
| 20 | Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy |
SECTION 5.3. Reasonable Care. The Lender is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral (a) if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own personal property, or (b) if the Lender takes such action for that purpose as any Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, further, that failure of the Lender to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender 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 (i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process, (ii) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process, (iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time of any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification; provided, however, that with respect to Collateral that is (x) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or (y) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (including but not limited to, Investment Property), no notice of sale or disposition need be given. For purposes of this Article VI, notice of any intended sale or disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or email, 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 or upon electronic submission through telephonic or internet services, as applicable. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender 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.
| 21 | Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy |
(b) Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Goods, Computer Hardware and Software Collateral, or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees and acknowledges that the following shall be deemed a reasonable commercial disposition: (i) a disposition made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) a disposition at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition, and (iii) a disposition in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition.
(c) All cash Proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against, all or any part of the obligations under the Note. The Lender shall not be obligated to apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection or enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable, and (ii) the affected party has provided the Lender with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis.
(d) The Lender may do any or all of the following: (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder, (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Lender of any amount due or to become due thereunder, (iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account, (iv) 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 of any party with respect thereto, (v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral, (vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, or (vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
SECTION 6.2. Securities Laws. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
| 22 | Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy |
(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its reasonable efforts to cause) each Pledged Interests Issuer or other issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;
(b) use its reasonable efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary Governmental Approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Lender;
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its reasonable efforts to cause) each such Pledged Interests Issuer or other issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Lender by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 and consequently agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as reasonably determined by the Lender in good faith) of such Collateral on the date the Lender shall demand compliance with this Section 6.2.
SECTION 6.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender 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 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 authority or official, and 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 Lender be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
SECTION 6.4. Protection of Collateral. The Lender may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Lender may from time to time take any other action which the Lender deems reasonably necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.
| 23 | Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy |
SECTION 6.5. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Without limiting the generality of any of the provisions of the Note, each Grantor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Lender, and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Security Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Security Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY BE INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR TECHNICAL. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the foregoing which is permissible under applicable law.
