(b) Such Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral pledged or assigned by such Pledgor hereunder, free and clear of any Lien, except for (x) the Lien created by this Agreement and (y) Liens securing obligations under the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement.

(c) As of the Closing Date, the Pledged Shares pledged by such Pledgor hereunder have been duly authorized and validly issued and, in the case of Pledged Shares issued by a corporation, are fully paid and non-assessable.

(e) The execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in such Collateral and, upon the earlier of (i) delivery of such Collateral to the Collateral Trustee in the State of New York or (ii) the filing of all UCC financing statements naming each Pledgor as “debtor” and the Collateral Trustee as “secured party” and describing the Collateral in the filing offices set forth opposite such Pledgor’s name on Schedule 5(e) hereto, shall (subject to any Liens securing obligations under the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement) constitute a fully perfected Lien on and first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(f) Such Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

Section 6. Certification of Limited Liability Company, Limited Partnership Interests and Pledged Debt. The Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiary that is organized as a limited liability company or limited partnership and pledged hereunder shall be represented by a certificate and in the organizational documents of such Domestic Subsidiary, the applicable Pledgor shall cause the issuer of such interests to elect to treat such interests as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable, by including in its organizational documents language substantially similar to the following and, accordingly, such interests shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC:

“The Partnership/Company hereby irrevocably elects that all membership interests in the Partnership/Company shall be securities governed by

Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of [jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable]. Each certificate evidencing partnership/membership interests in the Partnership/Company shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest in [name of Partnership/LLC] and shall be a security for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.” No change to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation and any new certificates thereafter issued shall not bear the foregoing legend.”

Section 7. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it will promptly execute or otherwise authorize the filing of any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Trustee or the Term Agent may reasonably request, in order (x) to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including the priority thereof) or (y) to enable the Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

and/or appraisal that 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 Trustee or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Trustee or such other Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 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. To the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Collateral Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral at any time after receipt as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Trustee hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of any Pledgor and any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

(ii) second, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Secured Obligations owing to them on the date of any such distribution, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof; and

(iii) third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Pledgors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Trustee (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Trustee or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Trustee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(d) All payments received by any Pledgor in respect of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Trustee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Section 13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Secured Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any Pledgor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and the Designated Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and any documents entered into with the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, or any of their respective affiliates in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Term Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Designated Hedge Agreement or documents entered into with the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, or any of their respective affiliates in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds, the party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Borrower or any Pledgor or any other person, and any failure by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Borrower or any Pledgor or any other person or any release of any Borrower or any Pledgor or any other person shall not relieve any Pledgor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Pledgor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or

implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Section 14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release. (a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until all the Secured Obligations (other than any contingent indemnity obligations not then due) under the Credit Documents shall have been satisfied by payment in full, and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Designated Hedge Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Secured Obligations.

(b) A Subsidiary Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the pledge of such Subsidiary Pledgor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Pledgor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent or otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor or a CFC Pledgor.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 14.01 of the Credit Agreement, the obligations of such Pledgor with respect to such Collateral shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and security interests created hereby.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor or authorize the filing of, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Trustee.

(e) In connection with the issuance of any Registered Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor or authorize the filing of, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of liens on the Equity Collateral; provided that any such release shall be provided only to the extent that (x) the holders of such Registered Notes or the trustee with respect to such Registered Notes, as applicable, are not granted a lien on such Equity Collateral, (y) such release is necessary to enable the Pledgors not to have to comply with reporting obligations under Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act and (z) any request for release of the foregoing pledges shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Parent Pledgor in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 13.11(d) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 15. Reinstatement. Each Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Pledgor in respect of the amount of such payment.

Section 16. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 7.7 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth on Schedule 14.02 to the Credit Agreement.

Section 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Trustee and the Borrower.

Section 18. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 19. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, represents the agreement of each of the Pledgors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

Section 20. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Pledgor and the Collateral Trustee in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(b) Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Trustee or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 21. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

Section 22. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Section 24. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address referred to in Section 16 or at such other address of which the Collateral Trustee shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any party hereto (or any Secured Party) to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 24 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pledge Agreement.

D. The undersigned [Pledgors][Subsidiary Guarantors] (each an “Additional Pledgor”) are (a) the legal and beneficial owners of the Equity Interests described under Schedule 1 hereto and issued by the entities named therein (such pledged Equity Interests, together with all other Equity Interests required to be pledged under the Pledge Agreement (the “After-acquired Additional Pledged Shares”), referred to collectively herein as the “Additional Pledged Shares”) and (b) the legal and beneficial owners of the Indebtedness described under Schedule 1 hereto and issued by the entities named therein (such Indebtedness, together with all other Indebtedness required to be pledged under the Pledge Agreement, the “Additional Pledged Debt”), in each case as such schedule may be amended in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

E. Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement and Section 9(b) of the Pledge Agreement provide that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.

[SECTION 2. Each Additional Pledgor by its signature below becomes a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and each Additional Pledgor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Pledgor” or a “Pledgor” in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include each Additional Pledgor. The Pledge Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.]¹

SECTION [2][3]. Each Additional Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: (a) Schedule 1 hereto (i) correctly represents as of the date hereof (A) the issuer, the certificate number, the Pledgor and registered owner, the number and class and the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class of all Additional Pledged Shares and (B) the issuer, the initial principal amount, the Pledgor and holder, date of and maturity date of all Additional Pledged Debt and (ii) together with Schedule 1 to the Pledge Agreement and the comparable schedules to each other Supplement to the Pledge Agreement, accurately and completely describes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes required to be pledged under the Pledge Agreement.

(b) Such Additional Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Additional Collateral pledged or assigned by such Additional Pledgor hereunder free and clear of any Lien, except for the Lien created by this Supplement to the Pledge Agreement.

(d) The execution and delivery by such Additional Pledgor of this Supplement and the pledge of the Additional Collateral pledged by such Additional Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Additional Collateral, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

(e) Such Additional Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Additional Collateral pledged by such Additional Pledgor pursuant to this Supplement and this Supplement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Additional Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

SECTION [4][5]. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION [5][6]. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION [6][7].

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION [7][8]. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 16 of the Pledge Agreement.
