Pledged Collateral. Each Debtor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statements consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement together with such additions and supplements thereto as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary and which must be executed or filed to perfect or continue perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral and file any such financing statements by electronic means as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedures.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the applicable Debtor all such proxies and other instruments as such Debtor may request for the purpose of enabling such Debtor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the dividends or distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.

The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long

as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and all Letters of Credit that remain outstanding have been Cash Collateralized or with respect to which other arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer have been made) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Each Debtor hereby ratifies, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all that the Administrative Agent shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Debtor shall be entitled and permitted to retain any tax distributions at any time.

The Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Debtor has agreed to perform or pay under or in connection with this Agreement, and each Debtor shall, jointly and severally, reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14. Except in cases where prompt action is required to minimize risk of loss, Administrative Agent will give each Debtor two (2) Business Days’ notice before performing or paying a Debtor obligation.

10. No Responsibility for Certain Actions. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, and other than as set forth in Section 9-207 of the UCC, neither the Administrative Agent nor any holder of the Secured Obligations shall have responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve any rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession other than as set forth in Section 9-207 of the UCC.

11. Remedies In General. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and, in the case of any exercise of rights or remedies under Section 7, after written notice revoking the applicable Debtor’s rights described in Section 7(a) has been given by the Administrative Agent to the Debtors, which written notice shall be given at least one (1) day before such notice shall be in effect):

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws, and the Administrative Agent may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Shares or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Debtors 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 Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Shares regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Shares may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Shares to more than one offeree.

(b) Each Debtor recognizes that, by reason of the aforementioned requirements and certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, elect not to require the Debtors to register the offering or sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and may therefore be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions and notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the Debtors to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Debtors would agree to do so.

(c) If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Shares, upon written request, each Debtor shall and shall cause, each of its Subsidiaries to, from time to time, furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Shares which may be sold by the Administrative Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act of 1933 and rules of the commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) In connection with any disposition of the Pledged Shares, if the Administrative Agent elects to obtain the advice of an investment banking firm, such firm shall be selected by the Debtors from among three nationally known investment banking firms which are member firms of the New York Stock Exchange, which three firms shall be proposed by the Administrative Agent to the Debtors. Such selection by the Debtors shall be made within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Debtors of the names of the firms proposed by the Administrative Agent. In the absence of such selection by the Debtors within such period, the Administrative Agent may select any one of such firms. The Debtors agree that the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Pledged Shares in reliance on the advice of the investment banking firm so selected shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable under the UCC and otherwise proper.

(e) The Debtors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any underwriter or financial advisor to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (and the officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys, and agents of each of them), from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense (including, without limitation, attorney costs) under the Securities Act of 1933, any “Blue Sky” law or otherwise insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statements of a material fact contained in a registration statement or prospectus or on any preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, such indemnification to remain operative regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any underwriter or financial advisor or any other person or entity indemnified hereunder. This indemnification does not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the issuer of such Pledged Shares by the Administrative Agent or on the Administrative Agent’s behalf expressly for use therein.

(f) Any and all expenses which may be charged to or for the account of Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including brokers’ or underwriters’ commissions or discounts, financial advisory fees, accounting fees, attorney costs, costs of printing and other expenses of offering, sale, or transfer shall be reimbursed by or charged to the Debtors pursuant to the terms of Section 14.

(g) Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Shares shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in the Credit Agreement.

(i) Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(ii) Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Debtor therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Debtors, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit under the Credit Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default under the Credit Agreement.

12. Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and at law or in equity, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder.

13. Certain Waivers. Each Debtor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations (i) to proceed against any Person, (ii) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Secured Obligations, (iii) to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any of the holders’ of the Secured Obligations power, or (iv) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral.

14. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification; Other Charges. The terms of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement with respect to costs and expenses and indemnification are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

15. Binding Effect; Transferability; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, except that, other than with respect to any assignment or transfer made pursuant to Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement, no Debtor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Debtor without such consent shall be null and void). Each Debtor acknowledges that upon any assignment or other transfer by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Secured Obligations of any of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Secured Obligations may transfer its interest herein, or any part thereof, to the assignee or transferee, who shall thereupon become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, security interests and liens herein granted to the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Secured Obligations, or the transferred part thereof, subject, however, to the restrictions contained

in the Credit Agreement. No Persons other than the Debtors, the holder of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent and the respective assignees of the holder of the Secured Obligations and the Administrative Agent are intended to be benefited hereby or shall have any rights hereunder, as third-party beneficiaries or otherwise.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

21. No Inconsistent Requirements.

22. Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall apply to all past, present and future Secured Obligations, including Secured Obligations that arise under transactions that continue any Secured Obligation, increase or decrease any Secured Obligation, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied. This Agreement and the security interest shall terminate when all of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit that remain outstanding have been Cash Collateralized or with respect to which other arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer have been made; provided, however, that the obligations of the Debtors under Sections 11(f) and 14 shall survive such termination. In addition, (x) in the event that any Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of a Debtor (including another Debtor) as a result of a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then such Subsidiary shall automatically be fully and finally released from its obligations hereunder without any further action of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer, and (y) the security interest and Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be released automatically without any further action of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer as to any Pledged Collateral upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral to a Person that is not a Debtor pursuant to a Disposition permitted by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and in each instance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly upon written request from (and at the expense of) the Borrower take all necessary action to document the full and final release of such Debtor or Pledged Collateral, as applicable, under this Agreement.

23. Joinder. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such joinder agreement (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to this Agreement as a “Debtor” and have all of the rights and obligations of a Debtor hereunder and this Agreement shall be deemed amended by such joinder agreement.

24. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

25. Consent of Issuers of Pledged Shares.

26. Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Upon the effectiveness hereof, this Agreement amends and restates in its entirety as of the Closing Date the Existing Pledge Agreement. The security interests granted by each Debtor to Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral under the Existing Pledge Agreement continue (as modified hereby) without interruption under this Agreement to secure the Secured Obligations.

27. Keepwell. Each Debtor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time any Guarantee of the Obligations by any Debtor that is not then an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Loan Party”) or the grant of a security interest under the Loan Documents by any such Specified Loan Party, in either case, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under such Guarantee voidable under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 27 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Debtor intends this Section 27 to constitute, and this Section 27 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

28. Intercreditor Agreements. This Agreement (and the security interest in the Common Collateral (as defined in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) granted hereunder) is subject to any Intercreditor Agreement from time to time in effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the any Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Common Collateral, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control. So long as any Person is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any Debtor in this Agreement that requires delivery of Common Collateral to, or the possession or control of Common Collateral with, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed complied with and satisfied if such delivery of Common Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of Common Collateral is with, such Person on same terms this Agreement would have otherwise required rendering of performance to the Administrative Agent.

29. Term Debt Priority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, any reference made to a first priority perfected Lien or security interest in any Loan Document (excluding any Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deemed to include any Pledged Collateral that is subject to security interests in favor of both the holders of the Obligations and the holders of the Term Debt and, pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement, such creditors have agreed that their respective security interests in such common Pledged Collateral shall have equal priority.
