perfection may be effected by filing of a financing statement has been duly taken except to
the extent otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms hereof or of the other Working Capital
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that the perfection of Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral

(i) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Trustee and at the

Code of such jurisdiction) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and

the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be owned by a Subsidiary of the
Company that has not granted a Lien in its Inventory to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, subject to Permitted Inventory Collateral Liens (it being agreed, that no
violation of this covenant shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of the Excluded
Subsidiary’s ownership of Inventory in the ordinary course of its business).
(d) Compliance with Terms, etc. Except where the failure to do so is not

is not permitted pursuant to clause (e).
(i) No Reincorporation. No Grantor shall reincorporate or reorganize itself
under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated
or organized as of the date hereof unless such Grantor has taken such steps as may be
required to preserve the validity and priority of the Trustee’s Lien on the Collateral.
(j) Termination; Amendments Not Authorized. Such Grantor acknowledges that it
is not authorized to file any amendment or termination statement with respect to any
financing
-6-
statement with respect to its Collateral filed for the benefit of the Trustee without
the prior written consent of Trustee and agrees that it will not do so without the prior

the Code and subject to the requirements of the TIA (as defined in the Indenture).
(k) Authorized Terminations. On the Note Termination Date, Trustee shall take

6. TRUSTEE’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Concurrently with the execution of this
Security Agreement (or, with respect to any Grantor that becomes a party hereto through the
execution of a joinder agreement, on the date of such joinder agreement) each Grantor shall execute
and deliver to Trustee a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney
is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Note Termination Date. The
powers conferred on Trustee, for the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured Parties, under the
Power of Attorney are solely to protect Trustee’s interests (for the benefit of Trustee and the
other Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Trustee or any other
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Trustee agrees that it shall not exercise any power or
authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless a Note Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Termination Date has occurred, and (b) Trustee shall account for any moneys
received by Trustee in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the
Power of Attorney; provided that none of Trustee or any other Secured Party shall have any
duty as to any Collateral, and Trustee and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF TRUSTEE,
THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR
REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO GRANTORS FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF
ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
(a) Subject to the rights of the Working Capital Agent under the Working Capital Loan
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in Section 25, in addition to
all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Indenture,
the other Indenture Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Note Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Trustee may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly
agrees that in any such event Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent
permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of
each Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process,
without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice
and opportunity for a hearing on Trustee’s claim or action and may collect, receive,
assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may
forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part
thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at
such prices as it may
-7-
deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk. Trustee or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public
sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to
purchase for the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of
said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of
redemption Grantors hereby release to the extent not prohibited by the Code. Such sales may
be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Trustee shall have the
right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right
to use Grantors’ premises without charge for such time or times as Trustee deems necessary
or advisable.
If any Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor further
agrees, at Trustee’s request, to assemble its Collateral and make it available to Trustee at a
place or places designated by Trustee which are reasonably convenient to Trustee and Grantors,
whether at Grantors’ premises or elsewhere. Until Trustee is able to effect a sale, lease, or
other disposition of Collateral, Trustee shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any
part thereof; to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or
its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Trustee. During the continuance of a Note
Event of Default, each Grantor shall permit the Trustee or any of its agents or designees to access
and use such Grantor’s property, plant and equipment to process Inventory, and each Grantor shall
use its best efforts to cause each party (other than labor unions unless such unions have any
rights under their security documents to interfere with such access) with security interests in
such property, plant or equipment (other than the continuous caster currently pledged to the PBGC)
to provide its consent for such access. Trustee may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a
receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Trustee’s remedies (for
the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without
prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in
the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, described in Section 25, and only after so paying
over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Trustee of any other amount required by any
provision of law, need Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to Grantors. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Trustee
or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral
except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Trustee or such
other Secured Party (or their respective employees, agents or representatives) as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’ prior
notice by Trustee of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private
sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Grantor shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all Obligations, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses
incurred by Trustee or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Trustee to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it
is not commercially unreasonable for the Trustee (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably
deemed significant by the Trustee to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (ii) 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, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies
-8-
against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on
or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) 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, (v) to advertise dispositions of
Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as each Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion
of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the
disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii)
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 capacity of doing so, or
that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than
retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet
enjoyment, (xi) to purchase reasonable amounts of insurance or credit enhancements to insure
the Trustee against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Trustee a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii)
to the extent reasonably deemed appropriate by the Trustee, to obtain the services of other
brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Trustee in
the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the
purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what
actions or omissions by the Trustee would not be commercially unreasonable in the Trustee’s
exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Trustee shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
indicated in this Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantors or
to impose any duties on Trustee that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Neither the Trustee nor the other Secured Parties shall be required to make any
demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any
other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other person with respect to the payment of the
Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any
Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Neither the Trustee nor
the other Secured Parties shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of
the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular
order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Indenture Document shall
be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably
waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against
the Trustee or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension,
redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or
hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any
Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the
power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the purpose of enabling Trustee
to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including, without limiting the
terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process,
assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time
as Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to Trustee, for the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor)
to use, license or sublicense any patents, trademarks, copyrights and licenses now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
-9-
Notwithstanding the above, no sublicense shall be given in any licenses owned by any Grantor
to the extent that such sublicense is prohibited by the underlying license.
9. LIMITATION ON TRUSTEE’S AND SECURED PARTIES’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.
Trustee and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in
its possession or under its control. Neither Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any
other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or nominee of Trustee or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should such Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part
of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment on the Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned.
11. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that
any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be
given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties
desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the
Indenture.
12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall
be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Security 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 Indenture. This Security Agreement
is to be read, construed and applied together with the Indenture and the other Indenture Documents
which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Trustee, the other
Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing signed by Trustee and then only to the
extent therein set forth. A waiver by Trustee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Trustee would otherwise have had on
any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Trustee or
any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly
or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except
by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Trustee and each Grantor.
-10-
14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security
Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any
applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be
subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to
the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable,
in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of
any applicable law.
15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.
(a) This Security Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate
on the Note Termination Date.
(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents
that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any
execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 15 shall be without recourse to
or warranty by the Trustee other than as to the termination of the Liens being released.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations of each
Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of such Grantor (including any
debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of
Trustee, for the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit
of Trustee and the other Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of
the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Indenture. No
sales of participation, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement
governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall
in any manner impair the Lien granted to Trustee, for the benefit of Trustee and the other Secured
Parties, hereunder. Grantors may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest
in or obligation under this Security Agreement except to the extent permitted under the Indenture.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.
This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in
writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.
18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT
PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION
RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, AMONG TRUSTEE, SECURED PARTIES, AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO,
OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
-11-
OR ANY OF THE OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and
shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the
agreement between the parties hereto.
21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly
by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.
22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that
it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 18
and Section 19, with its counsel.
23. BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTIES. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for
the benefit of Trustee, individually, and the other Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments
realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in the order
specified in the Pledge Agreement.
24. ADDITIONAL GRANTORS. The Company may, at its option, cause any of its
Subsidiaries to join this Security Agreement as a Grantor. Additionally, in the event that the
Subsidiaries of the Company that are organized under the laws of the United States of America, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, other than the Excluded Subsidiary and any
Securitization Subsidiary (the “Domestic Subsidiaries”), collectively own at any time more
than 10% of the book value of the Inventory of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, the Company will cause each Domestic Subsidiary that owns any material Inventory to become a
party to this Security Agreement as a Grantor and to grant a security interest in all of the
Collateral owned by it to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon execution and
delivery after the date hereof of a supplement in the form of Exhibit B hereto, such Person
shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to
this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder, of the Company, of
Trustee or of any other Secured Party. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party hereto.
25. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
provisions hereof are subject to the Intercreditor and Lien Subordination Agreement, dated of even
date herewith, among Trustee, the Working Capital Agent, Ispat Inc., Ispat Inland Finance, LLC and
certain Subsidiaries of the Company.
