Pledged Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or be duly endorsed to the

revocable rights specified in Section 4.06(a).
Section 4.02 Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee and its employees and agents as the Pledgor’s true and lawful
attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to do (a) all things required to be done by the
Pledgor under this Agreement, and (b) to do all things that the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
may deem necessary or advisable to assure the attachment, perfection and second priority of the
Security Interest or otherwise to exercise the rights and remedies of the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee hereunder or carry out the intent of this Agreement (including by voting any
Collateral as contemplated by Section 4.06 hereof), in each case irrespective of whether an Event
of Default then exists (except as otherwise provided herein) and at the Pledgor’s expense. Without
limitation, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and its officers and agents shall be entitled to
affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of the Pledgor, in
such manner as the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall deem advisable, to any Collateral that
has been delivered to or obtained by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee without appropriate
endorsement or assignment, which endorsement shall be effective for all purposes.
4
Section 4.03 Payment of Charges and Claims. The Pledgor shall pay (a) all Charges
imposed upon any Collateral, and (b) all claims that have become due and payable and, under
applicable law, have or may become Liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Collateral, in each
case before any penalty shall be incurred with respect thereto. If the Pledgor fails to pay or
obtain the discharge of any Charge, claim or Lien required to be paid or discharged under this
Section and asserted against any Collateral, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee may, at any
time and from time to time, in its sole discretion and without waiving or releasing any obligation
of the Pledgor under this Agreement or waiving any Event of Default, make such payment, obtain such
discharge or take such other action with respect thereto as the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
deems advisable.
Section 4.04 Duty of Care. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have no duty
of care with respect to the Collateral, except that the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall
have an obligation to exercise reasonable care with respect to Collateral in its possession;
provided that (i) the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care if Collateral in its possession is accorded treatment substantially comparable to
that which the Second Priority Collateral Trustee accords its own property or treatment
substantially in accordance with actions requested by the Pledgor in writing, and (ii) the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to take any actions to preserve rights against
other parties with respect to any Collateral. Without limitation, the Second Priority Collateral

respect to calls, conversions, presentments, maturities, notices or other matters relating to
Collateral, or to maximize interest or other returns with respect thereto.

Indenture, the Pledgor shall not (a) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, or any
interest therein, or (b) grant or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) in or on
any Collateral. If any Collateral, or any interest therein, is disposed of in violation of these
provisions, the Security Interest shall continue in such Collateral or interest notwithstanding
such disposition, the person to which the Collateral or interest is being transferred shall be
bound by this Agreement, and the Pledgor shall deliver all Proceeds thereof to the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee to be held as Collateral hereunder.
Section 4.06 Voting Rights; Distributions.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any
and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Collateral, for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Second Priority Obligations . So long as an
Event of Default shall exist, at the sole option of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, any or
all rights of the Pledgor to exercise voting and other consensual rights shall cease, and the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, if and when it notifies the Pledgor of the exercise of such
option, shall have the sole right to exercise any or all such voting and other consensual rights.
(b) To the extent required by the Indenture, the Pledgor shall cause any and all cash and
other property paid or otherwise distributed in respect of the Collateral, any and all Collateral
from time to time issued in addition thereto or substitution therefor, and any and all other
Proceeds, to be paid and delivered to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, to be held as
Collateral hereunder.
(c) All cash and other property required to be delivered to the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee hereunder shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, be segregated from the other property of the Pledgor, and

V.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
Section 5.01 Remedies. If upon or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee elects to exercise remedies under this Agreement then, whether
or not all the Second Priority Obligations shall have become immediately due and payable:
(a) In addition to all its other rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and
applicable law, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have, and may exercise, any and all of
the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, all of which rights, powers and
remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have the right, all at the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee’s sole option and as the Second Priority Collateral Trustee in its discretion
may deem necessary or advisable, to do any or all of the following: (A) foreclose the Security
Interest by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (B) collect by legal
proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or
hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; and (C) exercise any and all other rights,
powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral.
(c) The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any Collateral at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by
applicable law, in lots or in bulk, at any exchange, over the counter or at any of the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash or on credit, with or without
representations or warranties, all as the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, in its sole
discretion, may deem advisable. The Collateral need not be present at any such sales. If sale of
all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold
may be retained by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not incur any liability in case
any such purchaser shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any
such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. The Second Priority Collateral
Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee may purchase all or any part of the
Collateral at public or, if permitted by applicable law, private sale, and in lieu of actual
payment of the purchase price, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee may apply against such
purchase price any amount of the Second Priority Obligations.
(d) The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be required to register or qualify any of
the Collateral that constitutes securities under applicable state or federal securities laws in
connection with any sale or other disposition thereof if such disposition is effected in a manner
that complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Second Priority
Collateral Trustee shall be authorized at any such disposition (if it deems it advisable to do so)
to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they
are “accredited investors” or “qualified institutional buyers” under applicable law and purchasing
the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof. If any such Collateral is sold at private sale, the Pledgor agrees that if such
Collateral is sold in a manner that the Second Priority Collateral Trustee in good faith believes
to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (A) the sale shall be deemed to be
commercially reasonable in all respects, (B) the Pledgor shall not be entitled to a credit against
the Second Priority Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (C) the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall not incur any liability or responsibility to the Pledgor in
connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have
been realized at a public sale. The Pledgor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such
Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less
than the price that might have been achieved had the Collateral been so traded may be commercially
reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell Collateral
that is privately traded.
6
Section 5.02 Application of Proceeds.
(a) Any cash proceeds received by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
held by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or applied as specified in the SPCTA .
(b) The Pledgor and any other person then obligated therefor shall pay to the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee on demand any deficiency with regard to the Second Priority Obligations that may
remain after such sale, collection or realization of or upon the Collateral.
Section 5.03 Notice. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee will send or otherwise make available to the Pledgor reasonable notice of the
time and place of any public sale or of the time on or after which any private sale of any
Collateral is to be made. The Pledgor agrees that any notice required to be given by the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee of a sale or other disposition of Collateral, or any other intended
action by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, that is received in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 6.06 hereof, ten days prior to such proposed action shall
constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Pledgor. The Second Priority
Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed therefor and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. The Pledgor hereby waives any right to receive notice of any
public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Second Priority Obligations
except as expressly provided for in this Section.
VI.
GENERAL
GENERAL
Section 6.01 Second Priority Collateral Trustee’s Expenses, Including Attorneys’ Fees.
Regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgor agrees to pay to the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee any and all advances, charges, costs and expenses, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and any experts or agents, that the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee may incur in connection with (a) the creation, perfection or continuation of the
Security Interest or protection of its priority or the Collateral, including, while an Event of
Default exists, the discharging of any prior or junior Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or adverse
claim against the Collateral or any part thereof, (c) the custody, preservation or sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (d) while an Event of Default

hereunder without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee. The
benefits of this Agreement shall pass automatically with any assignment of the Second Priority
Obligations (or any portion thereof), to the extent of such assignment.
Section 6.03 Payments Set Aside. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
contained, this Agreement, the Second Priority Obligations and the Security Interest shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part
thereof, of any or all of the Second Priority Obligations is rescinded, invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be restored or returned by the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
involving the Pledgor, any other party liable with respect to the Second Priority Obligations or
otherwise, if the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee under any such circumstances, or if the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
elects to return any such payment or proceeds or any part thereof in its sole discretion, all as
though such payment had not been made or such proceeds not been received.
Section 6.04 Continuing Security Interest; Termination; Release.
(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing second priority security interest in the
Collateral and, except as provided below, the Security Interest and all agreements, representations
and warranties made herein shall survive until, and this Agreement shall terminate only upon, the
indefeasible payment in full of the Second Priority Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.04(a), the Security Interest will be
released: (i) in whole, upon payment in full and satisfaction of the Second Priority Obligations;
(ii) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of the Second Priority Indenture as set forth under
Section 12.17 thereof; (iii) in part, as to any Property constituting Collateral (A) that is sold
or otherwise disposed of by the Pledgor in a transaction permitted by Article III or Sections 4.6,
4.16(i), 4.16(j), 4.18, or 4.22 of the Second Priority Indenture, to the extent of the interest
sold or disposed of; (B) that is used to make a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment
permitted by the Second Priority Indenture; (C) that becomes Excluded Property; (D) that is owned
by a Subsidiary that is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or (E) otherwise in accordance
with, and as expressly provided for under, the Second Priority Indenture or any other Second
Priority Document; or (iv) with the consent of each Second Priority Holder of the Second Priority
Securities affected thereby (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Second Priority Securities); provided, that, in

precedent set forth above, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second Priority Collateral

effect and evidence the release of the Liens on such Collateral and execute any other documentation
