Xxxx 00000, in its capacity as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative
agent appointed pursuant to Section 11 of the Term Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined),
“Administrative Agent”), for itself and such other financial institutions (collectively, “Lenders”)
as may become parties to (in accordance with the terms of) that certain Term Loan Agreement
(hereinafter the “Term Loan Agreement”) dated as of even date herewith, by and among Pledgor, as
borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders, and does hereby grant to Administrative Agent on behalf
of Lenders a continuing security interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined), which
security interest is expressly subordinated to the security interest in the Collateral securing the
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), to secure the
payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as hereinafter defined).
2. Term Loan Agreement and Defined Terms. This agreement (“Pledge and Security Agreement” or
“Agreement”) is delivered pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used
herein which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning herein as in
the Term Loan Agreement.
3. Collateral. The term “Collateral” shall mean and include the following property, wherever
located:
(a) | all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest (including, without limitation, Pledgor’s voting rights) in each Portfolio Investment (all interests in Portfolio Investments included in the Collateral pursuant to this clause (a) or clause (b) below of this Section 3 are referred to herein as “Pledged Interests”) (as of the Closing Date the Pledged Interests consist solely of the Portfolio Investments listed on Exhibit A); | ||
(b) | all Portfolio Investments acquired by Pledgor after the Closing Date; provided, however, that, if the terms of any third party financing proposed to be obtained in connection with the acquisition of any Portfolio Asset relating to any such Portfolio Investment would prohibit Pledgor from pledging in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders one hundred percent (100%) of such Portfolio Investment, then only that portion of such Portfolio Investment that is permitted to be pledged under the terms of such financing (and, in each case, to the greatest extent so permitted) shall be included in the Collateral; provided further, however, that in no event shall less than forty nine percent (49%) of such Portfolio Investment be included in the Collateral without the consent of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; | ||
(c) | all certificates or other instruments, if any, representing a Pledged Interest; |
-1-
(d) | all Pledgor’s income, cash flow, rights of distribution, dividends, interest, proceeds, accounts, fees, profits, or other rights to payment which in any way relate to or arise out of the Pledged Interests; | ||
(e) | all rights of access arising from the Pledged Interests to books, records, information and electronically stored data relating to any of the foregoing; and | ||
(f) | the Borrower Escrow Account, including all funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Term Loan Agreement and any income earned on such funds; |
provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Pledged Interest in any
Portfolio Investment constituting Collateral also constitutes collateral securing obligations under
the Senior Credit Facility, then such Pledged Interest shall be a second priority Lien on the same
interest securing obligations under the Senior Credit Facility.
4. Obligations. The term “Obligations” shall mean all obligations of Pledgor to
Administrative Agent and Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, under any one or more of: (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Term Loan
Agreement, the Note(s), or any other Credit Document; and (iii) each of the same as hereafter

5.2 | Pledgor has the full right, power and authority to pledge the Collateral and to grant the security interest in the Collateral as herein provided; | ||
5.3 | There are no restrictions on, or consents required (except for those which have been obtained prior to the execution hereof) with respect to, the transfer of the Collateral to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders hereunder, or, except as provided in the organizational documents of the Portfolio Investment Entities, with respect to any subsequent transfer thereof or realization thereupon by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders; | ||

5.6 | All of the warranties and representations made by or in respect of Pledgor under the Term Loan Agreement are true and accurate; | ||
5.7 | The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor does not and shall not result in the violation of any mortgage, indenture, material contract, instrument, agreement, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which Pledgor is subject, or by which it or any of its property is bound; | ||
5.8 | This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor in accordance with the terms hereof and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Pledgor. |

6.2 | Except for the Senior Security Interest or any liens or encumbrances in effect as of the date hereof that have been disclosed to Administrative Agent or liens or encumbrances permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, Pledgor shall keep the Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, attachments, security interest pledges and charges; | ||

If under any circumstance whatsoever any such proceeds should be paid to or come into the hands of Pledgor, Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for immediate delivery to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to be held as additional Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Pledgor, as borrower under the Term Loan Agreement, is not required to deposit funds into the Borrower Escrow Account on the date a cash dividend or distribution with respect to the Collateral is received by Pledgor, Pledgor may retain or dispose of such cash dividend or distribution, but may not retain, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, as set forth above, all certificates of ownership whether now existing or hereafter received as a result of any dividends, splits or other transactions in or affecting the Collateral.

(ii) | result in the issuance of any additional interest in any of the Portfolio Investment Entities, or of any class of security, which issuance could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of the Collateral; or | ||

-4-

7.1 | Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies as hereinafter set forth or as set forth and provided for in each of the other Credit Documents. | ||
7.2 | Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the cure of such Event of Default (if cured prior to an acceleration of the Loan Maturity by Administrative Agent) and the reimbursement by Pledgor of all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders resulting from such Event of Default, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights to receive cash dividends and distributions, consent, vote, approve, elect, determine, consult, propose, agree, and all other rights or prerogatives, if any, pertaining to the Collateral or any part |
-5-
thereof, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement and other Credit Documents. |
8. After Event of Default
8.1 | Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter (unless (x) Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders has waived such Event of Default by written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of Administrative Agent or (y) such Event of Default has been cured as set forth in Section 7.2 hereof and in Section 9.2 of the Term Loan Agreement), subject to the rights and remedies of the Senior Secured Parties, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in addition to which Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof and/or enforce and collect the Collateral or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, the liquidation of debt instruments or securities and the exercise of conversion rights with respect to convertible securities, whether or not such instruments or securities have matured, and whether or not any penalties or other charges are imposed on account of such action) for application towards (but not necessarily in complete satisfaction of) the Obligations. Subject to the rights and remedies of the Senior Secured Parties, the proceeds of any such collection or of any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any portion thereof shall be applied as provided in Section 3.3 of the Term Loan Agreement. Pledgor shall remain liable to Administrative Agent and Lenders for any deficiency remaining following such application. Any surplus remaining after payment in full of all Obligations shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. | ||
8.2 | Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event Administrative Agent shall give Pledgor such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), Administrative Agent shall give Pledgor at least the greater of the minimum notice required by law or ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date, time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. | ||
8.3 | Pledgor acknowledges that any exercise by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders of Lender’s rights upon an Event of Default will be subject to compliance by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders with the applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances, directives and orders of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which may restrict the sale or disposition of securities. Administrative Agent in its sole discretion at any such sale or in connection with any such disposition may restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business, |
-6-
investment intention, or otherwise, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent that they are purchasing the Collateral, or some portion thereof, for their own account, for investment and not with a view towards the distribution or a sale thereof, or that they otherwise fall within some lawful exemption from registration under applicable laws. |
9. Actions By Administrative Agent. Pledgor hereby appoints Administrative Agent, or any agent
designated by Administrative Agent, as the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor after an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing to: (a) endorse in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of
Lenders any of the Collateral; (b) cause the transfer of any of the Collateral in such name as
Administrative Agent may from time to time
determine; (c) renew, extend or roll over any Collateral; (d) make, demand and initiate actions to
enforce any of the Collateral or rights therein; and (e) file financing statements, continuation
statements, and amendments thereto describing the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor.
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may take such action with respect to the Collateral as
Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect and preserve its interest
in the Collateral. Subject to the rights and remedies of the Senior Secured Parties,
Administrative Agent shall also have and may exercise at any time after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of Pledgor with
respect to and under the Collateral; provided that in no event shall Administrative Agent have the
right to make capital calls on Pledgor or any other shareholder, member or partner of a Portfolio
Investment Entity. The within designation and grant of power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable until this Pledge and Security Agreement is terminated by a written
instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or
until all Obligations have been paid or fulfilled and the obligation of Lenders to make Loans under
the Term Loan Agreement has terminated. The power of attorney under this Section 9 shall not be
affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of Pledgor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall be liable for any act or omission to act pursuant to this Section 9, except for any
act or omission to act which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative
Agent on behalf of Lenders shall execute partial releases of this Agreement under the terms of the
Term Loan Agreement.
10. Rights and Remedies. The rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders hereunder (hereinafter, the “Rights and Remedies”) shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, privileges or discretions which it
may otherwise have. No delay or omission by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising or
enforcing any of the Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No
waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Default or any Event of Default or of any
default under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of
Default or of any other default under any Credit Document. No exercise of any Rights and Remedies
shall preclude any other exercise of the Rights and Remedies. No waiver by Administrative Agent or
any Lender of any of the Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any
subsequent occasion nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All Rights and Remedies and all
of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’
-7-
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions under
any other agreement or transaction in respect of the Collateral are cumulative and not alternative or exclusive and may be exercised by
Administrative Agent or any Lender at such time or times in such order of preference as
Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.
11. Pledgor’s Consent and Waiver. Pledgor hereby agrees that Administrative Agent on behalf of
Lenders may enforce its rights as against Pledgor or the Collateral, or as against
any other party liable for the Obligations, or as against any other collateral given for any of the
Obligations, in any order or in such combination as Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may
in its sole discretion determine, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives all suretyship defenses and
defenses in the nature thereof, agrees to the release or substitution of any Collateral hereunder
or otherwise, and consents to each and all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the other
Credit Documents. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Pledgor further: (a) waives
presentment, demand, notice and protest with respect to the Obligations and the Collateral; (b)
waives any delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender; (c) assents to any indulgence
or waiver which Administrative Agent or any Lender may grant or give any other Person liable or
obliged to Administrative Agent or Lenders for or on account of the Obligations; (d) authorizes
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to alter, amend, cancel, waive or modify any term or
condition of the obligations of any other Person liable or obligated to Administrative Agent or
Lenders for or on account of the Obligations without notice to or further consent from Pledgor; (e)
agrees that no release of any property securing the Obligations shall affect the rights of
Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the Collateral hereunder which is not so
released; and (f) to the fullest extent that is permitted by applicable law, waives the right to
notice and/or hearing, it might otherwise be entitled thereto, prior to Administrative Agent’s
exercising the Rights and Remedies on behalf of Lenders upon an Event of Default.
12. Administrative Agent May Assign. Pledgor agrees that upon any sale or transfer by
Administrative Agent or any Lender of the Credit Documents and the indebtedness evidenced thereby
that is permitted under the Term Loan Agreement, Administrative Agent or such Lender may deliver
the Collateral disposed of as part of such a sale or transfer to the purchaser or transferee, who
shall thereupon become vested with all powers and rights given to Administrative Agent or such
Lender in respect thereto, and Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be thereafter forever
relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in connection therewith.
13. Limits on Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Duties. Neither Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall have any duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, or any income or distribution thereon, beyond the safe custody of such Collateral as may
come into the actual possession of Administrative Agent or such Lender and the accounting for
monies actually received by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, and neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession of
such Collateral is accorded treatment equal to that which is accords its own property. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as an undertaking by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of
-8-
any of the liabilities or obligations of Pledgor as Pledgor or any other shareholder, member or
partner of a Portfolio Investment Entity, including but not limited to, the obligation to make
contributions to capital or the obligation to make any other payment to, for or on
behalf of the Pledgor. The Administrative Agent’s rights and obligations in respect of the Pledged
Interests are those only of a secured party under Massachusetts law.
14. Release; Termination. (a) Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request
from Pledgor to release any item of the Collateral that is subject of a proposed Permitted
Portfolio Disposition, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders will execute and deliver to
Pledgor such instruments as are reasonably required to evidence the release of such item of the
Collateral from the security interest granted hereby (which release may be concurrent with and
conditional on the consummation of such Permitted Portfolio Disposition); provided that at the time
of such request and such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations and the termination or expiration
of the obligation of Lenders to make Loans under the Term Loan Agreement, the security interest
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any
such payment and termination or expiration, the Administrative gent will, at Pledgor’s sole
expense, deliver to Pledgor all certificates and instruments evidencing the Collateral held by
Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(c) Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders will execute and deliver such instruments as
Pledgor reasonably requests, including amendments to any financing statements filed in connection
with this Pledge and Security Agreement, to certify or evidence that any Portfolio Investments or
other assets of Pledgor that are not required to be included in the Collateral pursuant to the
terms of this Pledge and Security Agreement or any other Credit Document are not part of the
Collateral or subject to any Lien pursuant to this Pledge and Security Agreement or any other
