If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record, the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC 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 execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.6. Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as necessary or as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary in order to create and perfect, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.

ARTICLE IV

The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest therein, prior to all other Liens on the Pledged Collateral except for Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Pledgor shall be required to undertake any actions outside of the United States to perfect a Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Pledged Collateral located outside of the United States.

-21-

SECTION 4.3. Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein materially adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise materially impair or conflict with such Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

No Pledgor shall in any event change the location of any Collateral or its name, identity, structure or location (determined as provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC), or become bound, as provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, if such change would cause the Security Interests in any Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected unless such Pledgor has taken on or before the date of lapse all actions necessary to ensure that the Security Interests in the Collateral do not lapse or cease to be perfected.

-22-

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about any of the changes described in clause (a) above, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that each Pledgor is solely responsible to take all action described in Section 4.5(a) above.

(c) No Pledgor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material item of the material Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the material Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the material Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

REMEDIES

SECTION 9.1. Remedies.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Holder or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Event of Default as may be directed in writing by the Required Holders in accordance with this Section 9.1; provided, however, that unless and until the Collateral Agent has received any such direction, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interests of the Holders.

(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;

(ii) Demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;

(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated

-32-

by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;

(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and

(viii) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised), and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral 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 Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral 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

-33-

further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

-34-

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Investors may be compelled, with respect to arranging for any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Investors than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Required Holders), for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain, at the expense and direction of the Required Holders, an investment bank selected by such Required Holders with respect to any such registration or sale of the Securities Collateral hereunder. Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Agent and the Required Holders to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Collateral Agent and all others during the course of the distribution of such Securities Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) If the Investors determine to exercise their rights to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall

from time to time furnish to the Investors all such information as the Investors may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Investors as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Security Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall cause the security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property Collateral to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Intellectual Property Collateral by the applicable Pledgors and the Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained). In addition to the foregoing, each Pledgor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Pledgor’s know how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any

-36-

Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Pledgor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Pledgor.

SECTION 9.7. Certain Regulatory Requirements

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Secured Party will be required or permitted to make any foreclosure on, sale, transfer or other disposition of, or exercise of any rights to vote or consent with respect to any of the Collateral as provided herein or take any other action if such foreclosure, sale, disposition, exercise or act would cause a breach of the Communications Laws, the NOAA Rules or Export Control Laws or to act without the prior approval of the FCC, NOAA or any Governmental Authority responsible for administering Export Control Laws to act in a manner which would otherwise not be reasonable under the Communications Laws or Export Control Laws.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on the Collateral shall in all relevant aspects be subject to and governed by said statutes, rules and regulations and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to diminish the control exercised by the Pledgor except in accordance with the provisions of such statutory requirements, rules and regulations. Each Pledgor agrees that as necessary or upon the request from time to time by the Collateral Agent it will actively pursue obtaining any governmental, regulatory or third party consents, approvals or authorizations referred to in this Article IX, including, as necessary or upon any request of the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Required Holders) following an Event of Default, the preparation, signing and filing with (or causing to be prepared, signed and filed with) the FCC, NOAA or any Governmental Authority responsible for administering Export Control Laws of any application or application for consent to the assignment of the FCC Licenses or the NOAA Licenses or transfer of control required to be signed by WorldSpace or any of its Subsidiaries necessary or appropriate under the Communications Laws, the NOAA Rules or Export Control Laws for approval of any sale or transfer of any of the Pledged Collateral or the assets of WorldSpace or any of its Subsidiaries or any transfer of control in respect of any FCC License or any NOAA License. Nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to subject itself to the regulatory jurisdiction of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority in the course of performing its duties hereunder.

SECTION 9.8. Control by Majority. The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. However, the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement or the Bridge Notes or that the Collateral Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Investor (or upon and at all times following the satisfaction of all Obligations under the Bridge Notes, any other holder of the remaining Secured Obligations) or that would involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may seek written direction from the Required Holders and may take any other action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to seek written direction from the Required Investors and to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Concerning Collateral Agent

(a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Investors as collateral agent pursuant to the Bridge Notes and shall be vested with all of the rights, powers, benefits, privileges and protections of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Bridge Notes, all of which are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. Each holder of Secured Obligations by accepting the benefits of this Agreement hereby appoints The Bank of New York (or any of its successors or assigns hereunder) as its collateral agent under this Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Bridge Notes and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement, the Bridge Notes and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Bridge Notes. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

-39-

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers.

(f) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any duty or liability or be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve or protect the Pledged Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not be required or obligated, to (i) present or file any claim or notice or take any action with respect to any Pledged Collateral or in connection therewith or (ii) notify any Pledgor of any decline in the value of any Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection of any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or any other rights pertaining thereto.

(g) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of a Pledgor or otherwise.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest granted to it under this Agreement or for preparing, filing, refilling, recording, re-recording or continuing any document, financing statement, notice or instrument in any public office at any time or times and shall not be responsible for seeing to the provision of insurance on or the payment of any taxes with respect to any property subject to this Agreement.

-40-

(i) No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Agent to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Agent shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation; and no permissive or discretionary power or authority available to the Collateral Agent shall be construed to be a duty.

(j) The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to make or refrain from taking action (including without limitation, the release or substitution of Pledged Collateral), in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the Bridge Notes.

(k) Upon retiring, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(l) The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability hereunder except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct and under no circumstances shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

(m) (i) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, shareholders, directors, successors, assigns, agents, legal advisors, and financial advisors (each individually, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses of counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement, the Bridge Notes or the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement, the Bridge Notes or the Intercreditor Agreement); provided, however, that the Pledgors shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.1(m) to any Indemnitee to the extent caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts and agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (A) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (B) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (C) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (D) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

-41-

(iii) Without limiting the application of Section 11.1(m)(i) or (ii) hereof, each Pledgor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for, any and all third party fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledge Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge or any taxes or Lien upon or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Pledged Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Pledged Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Pledged Collateral.

(iv) If and to the extent that the obligations of a Pledgor under this Section 11.1(m) are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under applicable law.

(v) The provisions of this Section 11.1(m) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation of the Collateral Agent.

(n) The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take or refrain from taking any actions in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

(o) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(p) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Collateral Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated herein or in any other Redemption and Exchange Transaction Document to which it is a party (including the right to consent to or approve of any action or document which requires their consent or approval and the right to waive any provision of, or consent to any change or amendment to, any of the Redemption and Exchange Transaction Documents) shall not be construed as giving rise to any expressed or implied duty owed by the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not be answerable in connection with any of the foregoing for, or have any liability whatsoever as a result of, (i) its refusal to perform, consent or approve of such discretionary acts without the prior consent or direction of the Required Holders, or (ii) its performance of any such discretionary act (except

-42-

for any gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such acts). In connection with any such discretionary acts, the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion (but shall not have any obligation to) request the approval of the Required Holders.

(q) In the absence of actual knowledge of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default.

(r) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Pledgors shall remain liable under each of the Redemption and Exchange Transaction Documents to which it is a party to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder shall not release any of the Pledgors from any of its duties or obligations under each of the Redemption and Exchange Transaction Documents to which it is a party and (c) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any of the underlying contract to which any of the Pledgors is a party by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder or otherwise.

(s) In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to Pledgors or to any other person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of its actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment.

SECTION 11.2. Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into

-43-

the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Bridge Notes. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors and, in addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts (in whatever currency)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Investors to or for the credit or the account of any Pledgor (in whatever currency) against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Pledgor to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Investors under the terms of the Bridge Notes and the Security Documents. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Bridge Notes, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, except for applications or other filings with the Federal Communications Commission or such other instruments which may not be lawfully executed by attorneys-in-fact (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Bridge Notes.

SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. When all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Bridge Notes, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released

-44-

(in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.

SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made: (i) in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Notes and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and (ii) to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the other creditors to amendments, modifications, supplements, terminations or waivers described therein. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. In connection with the execution of any amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver, the Collateral Agent shall receive an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it to the effect that such action is authorized or permitted by the Redemption and Exchange Transaction Documents.

SECTION 11.6. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Bridge Notes, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

-46-

BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT AGAINST WORLDSPACE OR ANY PLEDGOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

SECTION 11.8. Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Bridge Notes, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.

SECTION 11.12. No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

SECTION 11.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Security Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be

This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned, [ ] (the “New Pledgor”), pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Guarantor and as a Pledgor party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor and Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Pledgors contained in the Security Agreement.

Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Security Agreement with respect to the New Pledgor. Such supplements shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement.

This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Pledgor has caused this Joinder Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first above written.

CONTROL AGREEMENT CONCERNING SECURITIES ACCOUNTS

This Control Agreement Concerning Securities Accounts (this “Control Agreement”), dated as of [ ], by and among WORLDSPACE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“WorldSpace”), the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with any successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) and [ ], as the securities intermediary (the “Securities Intermediary”), is delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of that certain security agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2007, made by the Pledgor and each of the Guarantors from time to time party thereto in favor of THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as collateral agent, as pledgee, assignee and secured party (the “Collateral Agent”). This Control Agreement is for the purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Secured Parties granted by the Pledgor in the Designated Accounts described below. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

Section 1. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Securities Intermediary has established for the Pledgor and maintains the account(s) listed in [Schedule I] annexed hereto (such account(s), together with each such other securities account maintained by the Pledgor with the Securities Intermediary collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, (v) each of the Designated Accounts is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC and (vi) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets which are credited to any Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Designated Account be registered in the name of the Pledgor, payable to the order of the Pledgor or specially endorsed to the Pledgor, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. All parties hereto agree that each item of Investment Property and all other property held in or credited to any Designated Account (the “Account Property”) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

Section 3. Entitlement Order. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Collateral Agent and relating to any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Securities Intermediary shall also comply with instructions directing the Securities Intermediary with respect to the sale, exchange or transfer of any Account Property held in each Designated Account originated by a Pledgor, or any representative of, or investment manager appointed by, a Pledgor until such time as the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 9(i) to the Securities Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with, and is fully entitled to rely upon, any entitlement order from the Collateral Agent, even if such entitlement order is contrary to any entitlement order that the Pledgor may give or may have given to the Securities Intermediary.

Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in the next sentence) right of setoff against, any Designated Account or any Account Property it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Designated Accounts and the Account Property therein or credited thereto. The Securities Intermediary agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against any of the Designated Accounts or to assert against any of the Designated Accounts any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties) that the Securities Intermediary may at any time have against or in any of the Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary may set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Designated Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions.

Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor with respect to any Designated Account or any security entitlements or other financial assets credited thereto (other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and

-2-

the Pledgor will not enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Collateral Agent shall have received prior written notice thereof. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor have not and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to (i) creation or perfection of any security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements maintained in any of the Designated Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with respect to any Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 3 hereof without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent acting in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to control over any Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control Agreement or waiver of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

Section 7. Certain Agreements.

(i) As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Collateral Agent the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with respect to each of the Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash balances held therein, identifying the financial assets held therein in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Each such statement accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account as of the date thereof.

(ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each supplement to the Security Agreement signed by the Pledgor and identifying one or more financial assets as “Pledged Collateral,” enter into its records, including computer records, with respect to each Designated Account a notation with respect to any such financial asset so that such records and reports generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as “Pledged.”

Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in the Account Property held in or credited to the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, security interest in, lien on, or encumbrance against, any Designated Account or Account Property held in or credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any person or entity other than the Collateral Agent has been given “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated Account or any such Account Property. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of control) against any of the Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor thereof.

-3-

Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain the Designated Accounts as follows:

(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral Agent delivers to the Securities Intermediary a notice instructing the Securities Intermediary to terminate Pledgor’s access to any Designated Account (the “Notice of Sole Control”), the Securities Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from the Collateral Agent, terminate all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgor with respect to the Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein, and cease taking instructions from Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting settlement of trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall not constitute a violation of the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor, or an investment manager on behalf of the Pledgor, shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to any Designated Account.

(iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will provide to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor from time to time, a statement of the market value of each financial asset maintained in each Designated Account. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

(iv) Perfection in Certificated Securities. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate representing any security or other Account Property held in or credited to any of the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession of the same on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such act shall cause the Securities Intermediary to be deemed holding such certificate for the Collateral Agent, if necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such securities or assets. The Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of the Security Agreement, which shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security interest in collateral held on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors and permitted assignees.

Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error free receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth below, provided that notices to the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed properly given unless actually received by the Collateral Agent at its office set forth below.
