2. Grant of Security. As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the First Lien Obligations, each Pledgor hereby transfers, assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties and confirms its prior grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of, a lien on and a security interest in (the “Security Interest”) all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now owned or existing or at any time hereafter acquired or existing (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) the Pledged Shares held by such Pledgor and the certificates, if any, representing such Pledged Shares and any interest of such Pledgor in the entries on the books of the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any financial intermediary pertaining to the Pledged Shares and all dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments and other property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares;

(b) the Pledged Debt and the instruments evidencing the Pledged Debt owed to such Pledgor, and all interest, cash, instruments and other property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Debt; and

(c) to the extent not covered by clauses (a) and (b) above, respectively, all Proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Collateral. For purposes of this Pledge Agreement, the term “Proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Collateral or Proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes Proceeds of any indemnity or guarantee payable to any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent from time to time with respect to any of the Collateral;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral for the Secured Obligations shall not include (i) any Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents or any Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) and (ii) property or assets to the extent the grant of a Lien therein is prohibited by any contract, agreement, instrument or indenture governing such property or asset without the consent of any other party thereto (other than a Credit Party or a wholly owned subsidiary of a Credit Party) unless such consent has been expressly obtained, or would give any other party (other than a Credit Party or a wholly owned subsidiary of a Credit Party) to any such contract, agreement, instrument or indenture the right to terminate its obligations thereunder (other than to the extent that any such prohibition referred to in clause (ii) would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law) (it being understood that the foregoing shall not be deemed to obligate any Grantor to seek or obtain any such consents referred to in clause (ii) above).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, at the Company’s option, the term Collateral, as it refers to the Collateral securing Additional First Lien

-5-

Obligations, shall not include any Stock and other securities of a Subsidiary to the extent that the pledge of such Stock and other securities would result in the Company being required to file separate financial statements of such Subsidiary with the SEC, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as such requirement is in existence and only with respect to the relevant Additional First Lien Obligations affected; provided that neither US Holdings, the Company nor any Subsidiary shall take any action in the form of a reorganization, merger or other restructuring a principal purpose of which is to provide for the release of the Lien on any Stock pursuant to this clause (d). In addition, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 3-16”) is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Stock secures the Additional First Lien Obligations affected thereby, then the Stock of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral securing the relevant Additional First Lien Obligations affected thereby but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, this Pledge Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any First Lien Secured Party, to the extent necessary to release the Security Interests in favor of the Collateral Agent on the shares of Stock that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral for the relevant Additional First Lien Obligations only. In the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Stock to secure the Additional First Lien Obligations in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Stock of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral for the relevant Additional First Lien Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this clause (d) shall limit the pledge of such Stock and other securities from securing the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at all times or from securing any Additional First Lien Obligations that are not in respect of securities subject to regulation by the SEC.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, at the Company’s option, the term Collateral, as it refers to the Collateral securing Additional First Lien Obligations, shall not include any property of US Holdings to the extent that the granting of a security interest in such property would result in a breach of any Contractual Requirement, or constitute a default under the terms of any material indenture (including a breach of the covenants contained in Section 4.12 of each of the indentures governing the terms of the Indebtedness of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH”) and the Company, and the terms of the Existing Notes Indentures), loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which EFH or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which EFH or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective property or assets are bound, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as such requirement is in existence and only with respect to the relevant Additional First Lien Obligations affected.

3. Security for the Obligations. This Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all the First Lien Obligations of each Credit Party. Without limiting the generality of the

-6-

foregoing, this Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the First Lien Obligations and would be owed by any of the Credit Parties to any of the First Lien Secured Parties under the Credit Documents, any Additional First Lien Agreement then in effect, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Commodity Hedging Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Credit Party.

4. Delivery of the Collateral. All certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be promptly delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto to the extent required by the Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Agreement then in effect and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to the relevant Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares. Each delivery of Collateral (including any After-acquired Shares) shall be accompanied by a notice to the Collateral Agent describing the securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder.

5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Schedule 1 hereto (i) correctly represents as of the Closing Date (A) the issuer, the certificate number, if any, the Pledgor and the record and beneficial owner, the number and class and the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class of all Pledged Shares and (B) the issuer, the initial principal amount, the Pledgor and holder, date of issuance and maturity date of all Pledged Debt and (ii) together with the comparable schedule to each supplement hereto, includes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes required to be pledged hereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 1 and except for Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Pledged Shares represent all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests (or 65% of all of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests in the case of pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries) in the issuer owned by a Pledgor on the Closing Date.

(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 the Liens created by this Pledge Agreement and Liens permitted under both (x) Sections 10.2(a), (g), (s) or (t) of or as “Permitted Liens” under the Credit Agreement and (y) under comparable provisions of each Additional First Lien Agreement.

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

(d) The execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Pledge 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 (in the case of the Stock of Foreign

-7-

Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation of such security interest in the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the UCC) and, (i) in the case of certificated securities, upon delivery of such certificated securities to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York, with necessary endorsements, and (ii) otherwise, upon the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate jurisdiction(s), shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on and security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the First Lien Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties (in the case of the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation and perfection of such security interest in the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the UCC), 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.

(e) Such Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and this Pledge Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Pledgor (in the case of the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation and perfection of such security interest in the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the UCC), 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.

6. Certification of Limited Liability Company, Limited Partnership Interests and Pledged Debt.

(a) In the event that any 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, 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 Uniform Commercial Code 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 Uniform Commercial Code:

“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.”

(b) Each Pledgor will comply with Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of each Additional First Lien Agreement.

(c) In the event that any Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary pledged hereunder are not represented by a certificate, the Pledgors agree not to permit such Foreign Subsidiary to issue Equity Interests represented by a certificate to any other Person, unless the Equity

-8-

Interests in such Foreign Subsidiary become represented by a certificate which is delivered to the Collateral Agent.

7. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it will 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 Agent, the Applicable First Lien Representative, the Required Secured Parties or the required lenders or debtholders under any Additional First Lien Agreement 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 Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

8. Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any Additional First Lien Agreement.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use, free and clear of the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement, any and all dividends, distributions, principal and interest made or paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent permitted by each of the Credit Agreement and each Additional First Lien Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that any and all noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Shares or received in exchange for Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be, and (as applicable) shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor (as applicable) and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(c) Upon written notice to a Pledgor by the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

-9-

(i) all rights of such Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights during the continuance of such Event of Default, provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a)(i) (and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 8(a)(ii) shall be reinstated);

(ii) all rights of such Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(b) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments during the continuance of such Event of Default. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall repay to each Pledgor (without interest) and each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive, retain and use all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to receive, retain and use pursuant to the terms of Section 8(b);

(iii) all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements); and

(iv) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments to which it may be entitled under Section 8(b) above, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) above, and to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that it may be entitled to under Sections 8(c)(ii) and (c)(iii) above, such Pledgor shall, if necessary, upon written notice from the Collateral Agent, from time to time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(c) defend its and the Collateral Agent’s title or interest in and to all the Collateral (and in the Proceeds thereof) against any and all Liens (other than the Liens permitted under each of the Credit Agreement and each Additional First Lien Agreement and the Liens created by this Pledge Agreement), however arising, and any and all Persons whomsoever.

10. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to such Pledgor, that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution or principal or interest payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

11. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Shares, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party has or is deemed to have

-11-

knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.

12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may with notice to the relevant Pledgor, sell the 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, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay 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 Agent or any First Lien 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, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent or such First Lien Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the First Lien 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 Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral 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 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 Agent 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 Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral in the manner specified in Section 4.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent 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

-12-

purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent 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 Agent shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the First Lien 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 First Lien Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the First Lien Obligations continued, (b) the First Lien 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 Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit, any Additional First Lien Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, the Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Commodity Hedging Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Hedging Agreement and Secured Commodity Hedging Agreement, the Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank party thereto or in the case of any Additional First Lien Agreement, the trustee, agent or representative thereunder or the required lenders or holders thereunder) may deem advisable from time to time and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party for the payment of the First Lien Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the First Lien Obligations or for this Pledge Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Company or any Pledgor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Company or any Pledgor or any other Person or any release of the Company 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 Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.

(a) This Pledge 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 Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns until all Secured Obligations (other than any contingent indemnity obligations not then due) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments shall be terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been fully Cash Collateralized or otherwise back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, any Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Hedging Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedging Agreement and any Additional First Lien Agreements the Credit Parties may be free from any First Lien Obligations.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, a Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and Security Interest in the Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically released (x) as it relates to the “Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Pledgor ceases to be a Guarantor and (y) as it relates to the First Lien Obligations under any Additional First Lien Agreement, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under such Additional First Lien Agreement, as a result of which such Pledgor ceases to be a guarantor under such Additional First Lien Agreement pursuant to the applicable provision(s) of such Additional First Lien Agreement.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens of this Agreement (i) if (and to the extent) provided for in (A) Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement and (B) any applicable provision of any Additional First Lien Agreement then in effect, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement and any applicable provision of any Additional First Lien Agreement then in effect and (iii) as otherwise may be provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Any such release in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral shall result in such Collateral being sold, transferred or disposed of, as applicable, free and clear of the Liens and Security Interest of this Pledge Agreement.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent 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 Agent.

15. Reinstatement. Each Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the First Lien 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

-14-

First Lien 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.

16. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement (whether or not then in effect). All communications and notices hereunder to any Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement (whether or not then in effect) and all notices to any holder of obligations under any Additional First Lien Agreements, at its address set forth in the Additional First Lien Secured Party Consent to the Security Agreement, as such address may be changed by written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Company.

17. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Pledge 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 Pledge Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent and the Company.

18. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge 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.

19. Integration. This Pledge Agreement together with the other Credit Documents and each Additional First Lien Agreement 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 Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents and each Additional First Lien Agreement.

20. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Pledgor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement

-15-

and by each other party to the extent required by (and in accordance with) the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any First Lien 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 Agent or any other First Lien 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 Agent or any other First Lien 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 Agent or such other First Lien 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.

21. Collateral Agent as Agent. Section 7 of the Security Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Agreement rather than to the Security Agreement).

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

23. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other First Lien 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 Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except pursuant to transactions expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.

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

(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 Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any First Lien 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 First Lien 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 25 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

26. Acknowledgments. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders and any other Secured Party or among the Pledgors and the Lenders and any other Secured Party.

27. GOVERNING LAW. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2007 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dates as of August 7, 2009 and as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among US Holdings, the Company, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent and the other agents and entities party thereto, and the Guarantee dated as of October 10, 2007 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “Guarantee”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent.

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

C. The Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement and to induce the respective Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement and to induce one or more Cash Management Banks and/or Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Commodity Hedging Agreements and to induce the holders of any Additional First Lien Obligations to make their respective Extensions of Credit thereunder.

D. The undersigned 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 any Equity Interests of the issuer of such Pledged Shares or any other Subsidiary held directly by any Additional Pledgor in the future (the “After-acquired Additional Pledged Shares”), and in each case to the extent such Equity Interests are not subject to the last sentence of Section 2 of the Pledge Agreement, referred to collectively herein as the “Additional Pledged Shares”) and (b) the legal and beneficial owners of the Indebtedness described under Schedule 1 hereto (together with any other Indebtedness owed to any Additional Pledgor hereafter and required to be pledged pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement and/or the equivalent provisions of any Additional First Lien Agreement, the “Additional Pledged Debt”).

A-1

E. Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement and/or the equivalent provisions of any Additional First Lien 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.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and each undersigned Additional Pledgor agree as follows:

(a) the Additional Pledged Shares held by such Additional Pledgor and the certificates representing such Additional Pledged Shares and any interest of such Additional Pledgor in the entries on the books of the issuer of the Additional Pledged Shares or any financial intermediary pertaining to the Additional Pledged Shares and all dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments and other property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Additional Pledged Shares;

(c) to the extent not covered by clauses (a) and (b) above, respectively, all Proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Additional Collateral. For purposes of this Supplement, the term “Proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Additional Collateral or Proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes Proceeds of any indemnity or guarantee payable to any Additional Pledgor or the Collateral Agent from time to time with respect to any of the Additional Collateral.

A-2

For purposes of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral shall be deemed to include the Additional Collateral.

[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 correctly represents as of the date hereof (A) the issuer, the certificate number, if any, the Additional Pledgor and record and beneficial 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 Additional Pledgor and holder, date of issuance and maturity date of all Additional Pledged Debt. Except as set forth on Schedule 1 and except for Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Pledged Shares represent all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests (or 65% of all of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests in the case of pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries) in the issuer owned by a Pledgor on the Closing Date.

(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 Permitted Liens and 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 legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Additional Collateral and, (i) in the case of certificated securities, upon delivery of such certificated securities to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York, with necessary endorsements, and (ii) otherwise, upon the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate jurisdiction(s), shall constitute a fully perfected lien and security interest in the Additional Collateral (in the case of the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation of such security interest in the Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries is governed by the UCC), securing

¹	Include only for Additional Pledgors that are not already signatories to the Pledge Agreement.

A-3

the payment of the Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien 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.

(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 [3][4]. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement 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 Supplement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent and the Company. This Supplement shall become effective as to each Additional Pledgor when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of such Additional Pledgor and the Collateral Agent.

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]. Any provision of this Supplement 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 in the Pledge Agreement, 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 [7][8]. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 16 of the Pledge Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Additional Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement (whether or not then in effect) and all notices to any holder of obligations under any Additional First Lien Agreements, at its address set forth in the Additional First Lien Secured Party Consent to the Security Agreement, as such address may be changed by written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Company.

A-4

SECTION [8][9]. Each Additional Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, other charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel, and, if necessary, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Person).

A-5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Additional Pledgor and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Pledge Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
