Section 1.03 Rules of Interpretation. Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby

ARTICLE 2
Security Interest
Security Interest
Section 2.01 Pledge. Each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to
the US Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Creditors a security interest in
and right of set-off against all of such Pledgor’s rights, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
in and to the assets referred to in Section 2.02 (the “Collateral”) to secure the
prompt payment and performance of the “Obligations” (as defined in Section 1.02)
and the performance by such Pledgor of this Agreement.
Section 2.02 Collateral.
(a) The Collateral consists of the “Pledged Securities” which means: (i) the
Equity Interests described or referred to in Schedule 2 (as the same may be
supplemented from time to time pursuant to a Supplement in substantially the form of
Annex II); and (ii) (A) the certificates or instruments, if any, representing such
Equity Interests, (B) all dividends (cash, Equity Interests or otherwise), cash,
instruments, rights to subscribe, purchase or sell and all other rights and Property from
time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for
any or all of such securities and interests, (C) all replacements, additions to and
substitutions for any of the Property referred to in this definition, including, without
limitation, claims against third parties,
(D) the proceeds, interest, profits and other income of or on any of the Property
referred to in this definition, (E) all security entitlements in respect of any of the
foregoing, if any and (F) all books and records relating to any of the Property referred to
in this definition.
(b) It is expressly contemplated that additional Property may from time to time be
pledged, assigned, transferred or granted to the US Administrative Agent as additional
security for the Obligations, and the term “Collateral” as used herein shall be
deemed for all purposes hereof to include all such additional Property, together with all
other Property of the types described in clause (a) above related thereto;
provided, however, that in no event shall the term “Collateral” or “Pledged
Securities” include
4
more than 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equity Interests
of any first tier Foreign Subsidiary nor any Equity Interests of any other Foreign
Subsidiary. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged
Securities shall be delivered to and held pursuant hereto by the US Administrative Agent or
a Person designated by the US Administrative Agent and shall be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank, and accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps to effect the
pledge of the Pledged Securities to the US Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, at the US Administrative Agent’s discretion, all Pledged Securities
must be delivered or transferred in such manner as to permit the US Administrative Agent to
be a “protected purchaser” to the extent of its security interest as provided in Section
8.303 of the UCC (if the US Administrative Agent otherwise qualifies as a protected
purchaser). During the continuance of an Event of Default, the US Administrative Agent
shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice, to transfer to or
to register in the name of the US Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of
the Pledged Securities, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section
5.03. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the US
Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations.
Section 2.03 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Pledgor hereunder or
any set-off or application of funds of any Pledgor by any Secured Creditor, no Pledgor shall be
entitled to exercise any right of subrogation to any Secured Creditor against any Borrower or any
other Pledgor or any collateral security or pledge or guarantee or right of offset held by any
Secured Creditor for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Pledgor seek or be entitled to
exercise any right to seek any indemnity, exoneration, participation, contribution or reimbursement
from any Borrower or any other Pledgor in respect of payments made by such Pledgor hereunder, until
all amounts owing to the Secured Creditors on account of the Obligations are irrevocably and
indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit is outstanding (except for Letters of Credit
secured by cash collateral or one or more Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section
2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) and all of the Aggregate Commitments are terminated. If any
amount shall be paid to any Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when
all of the Obligations shall not have been irrevocably and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, any
Letter of Credit is outstanding (except for Letters of Credit secured by cash collateral or one or
more Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section 2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) or any
of the Aggregate Commitments are in effect, such amount shall be held by such Pledgor in trust for
the Secured Creditors, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Pledgor, be turned over to the US
Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Pledgor (duly indorsed by such Pledgor to
the US Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured
or unmatured, in accordance with Section 11.02(c) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 2.04 Amendments, Etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Pledgor shall remain
obligated hereunder, and such Pledgor’s obligations hereunder shall not be released,
5
discharged or
otherwise affected, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and
without notice to, demand upon or further assent by any Pledgor (which notice, demand and assent
requirements are hereby expressly waived by such Pledgor), (a) any demand for payment of any of the
Obligations made by any Secured Creditor may be rescinded by such Secured Creditor or otherwise and
any of the Obligations continued; (b) the Obligations, the liability of any other Person upon or
for any part thereof or any collateral security or pledge 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, or any indulgence or
forbearance in respect thereof granted by, any Secured Creditor; (c) any Secured Document may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Secured Creditors may
deem advisable from time to time; (d) any collateral security, pledge, guarantee or right of offset
at any time held by any Secured Creditor for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released; (e) any additional guarantors, makers or endorsers of the
Obligations may from time to time be obligated on the Obligations or any additional security or
collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations may from time to time secure the
Obligations; and (f) any other event shall occur which constitutes a defense or release of sureties
generally. No Secured Creditor shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the pledge contained in this
ARTICLE II or any Property subject thereto.
Section 2.05 Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation,
renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any
Secured Creditor upon the pledge contained in this ARTICLE II or acceptance of the pledge
contained in this ARTICLE II; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in
reliance upon the pledge contained in this ARTICLE II and no notice of creation of the
Obligations or any extension of credit already or hereafter contracted by or extended to the
Borrowers need be given to any Pledgor; and all dealings between any Borrower and any of the
Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Secured Creditors, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the pledge contained in this
ARTICLE II. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, each Pledgor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the Pledgors with respect to the
Obligations.
Section 2.06 Pledge Absolute and Unconditional.
(a) Except as provided in Section 7.12, each Pledgor understands and agrees
that the pledge contained in this ARTICLE II is, and shall be construed as, a
continuing, completed, absolute and unconditional pledge, and each Pledgor hereby waives any
defense of a surety or guarantor or pledgor or any other obligor on any obligations arising
in connection with or in respect of any of the following and hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall not be discharged or otherwise affected as a result of, any of
the following to the extent permitted by applicable law:
6
(i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Secured Document, any of the
Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or pledge or guarantee or
right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any
Secured Creditor;
(ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or
any other Person against any Secured Creditor;
(iii) the insolvency, bankruptcy arrangement, reorganization, adjustment,
composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any Borrower
or any other Pledgor or any other Person at any time liable for the payment of all
or part of the Obligations, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against
collecting, any Obligation (or any part of them or interest therein) in or as a
result of such proceeding;
(iv) any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Borrower or
any other Pledgor, or any changes in the shareholders of any Borrower or the
Pledgor;
(v) any change in the corporate existence (including its constitution, laws,
rules, regulations or power), structure or ownership of any Pledgor;
(vi) the fact that any Collateral or Lien contemplated or intended to be given,
created or granted as security for the repayment of the Obligations shall not be
properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to
any other Lien, it being recognized and agreed by each of the Pledgors that it is
not entering into this Agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits
of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the Collateral
for the Obligations;
(vii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations or any part of them
from any Pledgor;
(viii) (A) any Secured Creditor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code; (B) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by the Borrowers, as
debtor-in-possession, or extension of credit, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy

7

bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding; or
(ix) any other circumstance or act whatsoever, including any action or omission
of the type described in Section 2.04 (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the Borrowers or such Pledgor), which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers for the
Obligations, or of such Pledgor under the pledge contained in this ARTICLE
II, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
(b) When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies
hereunder against any Pledgor, any Secured Creditor may, but shall be under no obligation
to, join or make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue or exhaust such rights and remedies
as it may have against any Borrower, any other Pledgor or any other Person or against any
collateral security or pledge or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Creditor to make any such demand, to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other
Pledgor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or pledge or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other
Pledgor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or pledge or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Pledgor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall
not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of any Secured Creditor against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof
“demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Section 2.07 Reinstatement. The pledge contained in this ARTICLE II shall continue

Borrower or any Pledgor, or upon or as a result
of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,
any Borrower or any Pledgor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though
such payments had not been made.

consolidation, liquidation, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition permitted by Section
10.08 or 10.14 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor agrees that:
(a) it shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security
interest having at least the priority described in Section 3.04 and shall defend such
security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever;
(b) it will furnish to the US Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports
in connection with the Collateral as the US Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail; and
(c) at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the US Administrative
Agent, and at the sole expense of such Pledgor, it will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and
have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the US

full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without

corporate structure or in the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or formed, (c) its
jurisdiction of organization or its organizational identification number in such jurisdiction of
organization or (d) its federal taxpayer identification number, unless, in each case, such Pledgor

for the purpose of maintaining the perfection and priority of the US Administrative Agent’s

this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing statements or
other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of the US Administrative Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral.
Section 4.04 Pledged Securities. In the case of each Pledgor, such Pledgor agrees that:
(a) if such Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any Equity Interest
certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing an Equity Interest
dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of
capital
or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect
of the Pledged Securities of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a
conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares or interests of the Pledged Securities, or otherwise
in respect thereof, such Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Creditors, hold
the same in trust for the Secured Creditors, segregated from other Property of such Pledgor, and
deliver the same forthwith to the US Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed
by such Pledgor to the US Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power
covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Pledgor and with, if the US Administrative
Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the US Administrative Agent, subject to the

foregoing shall apply only to 65% of such shares, interests or rights in the case of an Issuer that
is a Foreign Subsidiary;
(b) without the prior written consent of the US Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will not,
unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or under the other Loan Documents, (i) vote to enable,
or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or to
issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any
Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise
dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof, (iii)

restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or the US Administrative Agent to sell, assign or
transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof;
11
(c) in the case of each Pledgor that is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be
bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and will
comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the US
Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in
Section 4.04(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of
Section 5.02(a) and Section 5.03 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect
to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 5.02(d) or Section
5.03 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it;
(d) such Pledgor shall furnish to the US Administrative Agent such stock powers and other
instruments as may be reasonably required by the US Administrative Agent to assure the
transferability of the Pledged Securities when and as often as may be reasonably requested by the
US Administrative Agent; and
(e) the Pledged Securities (except for LP Units and Subordinated Units) will at all times
constitute not less than 100% of the Equity Interests of the Issuer thereof owned by any Pledgor
(or in the case of any Issuer that is a Foreign Subsidiary, not less than 65% of the Equity
Interests of such Issuer (except as otherwise noted on Schedule 2)). Such Pledgor will not
permit any Issuer (other than EPLP) of any of the Pledged Securities to issue any new shares
or interests of any class of Equity Interests of such Issuer unless such shares are pledged
pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in this Agreement, with respect to
Issuers that are Foreign Subsidiaries, the Pledgors are required to pledge 65% of the Equity
Interests of such Issuers (except as otherwise noted on Schedule 2) and to deliver the
applicable certificates and stock powers duly executed in blank for such Equity Interests to the US
Administrative Agent but shall not be required to take any additional actions to perfect the
security interest of the Secured Creditors in such Pledged Securities.

Remedial Provisions
Remedial Provisions
Section 5.01 UCC and Other Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the US
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Creditors, may exercise, in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in any other
instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law or otherwise available at law
or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the US Administrative Agent, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
12
advertisement or notice of any kind
(except any notice required by applicable law) to or upon any Pledgor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing),
in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or
office of any Secured Creditor or elsewhere upon such commercially reasonable terms and conditions
as it may deem advisable and at such commercially reasonable prices as it may deem best, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Creditor
shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby
waived and released. Any such sale or transfer by the US Administrative Agent either to itself or
to any other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, be absolutely free
from any claim of right by any Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or
appraisal which any Pledgor has or
may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted (and
such Pledgor hereby waives any rights it may have in respect thereof). Upon any such sale or
transfer, the US Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the
purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The US Administrative Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.01, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the US Administrative Agent and the Secured Creditors hereunder,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and only after such
application and after the payment by the US Administrative Agent of any other amount required by
any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9.615 of the UCC, need the US
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the US
Administrative Agent or any Secured Creditor arising out of the exercise by them of any rights
hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before
such sale or other disposition.
(b) In the event that the US Administrative Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the US
Administrative Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or
parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds
of the same towards payment of the Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of the
Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable
manner.
(c) The US Administrative Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts
necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral.
13
Section 5.02 Pledged Securities.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the US Administrative
Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Pledgor of the US Administrative Agent’s intent to
exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.02, each Pledgor shall be permitted
to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities paid in the normal course
of business of the relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to
exercise all voting, consent and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, consent given or right exercised or
other action taken by such Pledgor that would impair the Collateral or result in any violation of
any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, without the
prior consent of the US Administrative Agent, enable or permit any Issuer of Pledged Securities to
issue any Equity Interests or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right
to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any Issuer of Pledged Securities other
than as permitted by the Loan Documents.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the
US Administrative Agent of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors,
(i) the US Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends,
payments, Property or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application
thereof to the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the
Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the US Administrative Agent or its nominee,
and (iii) the US Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent,
corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders (or
other equivalent body) of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to
such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation,
the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational
structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the US Administrative Agent of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the
right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary,
transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the US
Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for Property actually
received by it, but the US Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any
such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in
so doing.
(c) In order to permit the US Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual
rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other
distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Pledgor shall promptly execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the US Administrative Agent all such
proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the US Administrative Agent may from time
to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Pledgor
hereby grants to the US Administrative Agent an
14
irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the
Pledged Securities and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a
holder of the Pledged Securities would be entitled (including giving or withholding written
consents of shareholders calling special meetings of shareholders and voting at such meetings),
which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including
any transfer of any Pledged Securities on the record books of the Issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the Issuer of such Pledged Securities or any officer or agent thereof) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate
upon the earlier of (x) the absence any Event of Default and (y) the payment in full in cash of the
Obligations under the Credit Agreement.
(d) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged
by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it
from the US Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each
Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted
hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the
US Administrative Agent.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Issuer of
any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or
other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of each
Pledgor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Pledgor
would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by such
Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the US Administrative
Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights,
but the US Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual
rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
Section 5.03 Private Sales of Pledged Securities.
(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that the US Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public
sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private
sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner. The US Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation
to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the
Issuer thereof to register such securities
15
for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(b) Each Pledgor agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may reasonably be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any
portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 5.03 valid and binding and in
compliance with any and all other applicable Governmental Requirements; provided,
however, that such Pledgor shall not be required to register such securities for public
sale under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 5.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Creditors, that
the Secured Creditors have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.03 shall be specifically
enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.
Section 5.04 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The US Administrative Agent may enforce its rights
hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law,
each Pledgor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the US
Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.

The US Administrative Agent
The US Administrative Agent
Section 6.01 US Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.
(a) Anything in this Section 6.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the US
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney
provided for in this Section 6.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the US Administrative Agent
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor
and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all reasonably appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives
the US Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or
assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) unless being disputed under Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement, pay or
discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
16
(ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.01
or Section 5.03, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(iii) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral
to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to
the US Administrative Agent or as the US Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) ask
or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,
claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising
out of any Collateral; (C) in the name of such
Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and
collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of
moneys due with respect to any Collateral and commence and prosecute any suits,
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; (D) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against
such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (E) settle, compromise or adjust any
such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges
or releases as the US Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (F) generally,
sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with
any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the US Administrative Agent
were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the US Administrative
Agent’s option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
acts and things which the US Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the US Administrative Agent’s and the
Secured Creditors’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.
(b) If any Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein
within the applicable grace periods, the US Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any
obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such
agreement.
(c) The reasonable expenses of the US Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions
undertaken as provided in this Section 6.01, together with interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, from the
date of payment by the US Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Pledgor,
shall be payable by such Pledgor to the US Administrative Agent on demand.
(d) All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an
interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created
hereby are released.
17
Section 6.02 Duty of US Administrative Agent. The US Administrative Agent’s sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession,
under Section 9.207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the US
Administrative Agent deals with similar Property for its own account and shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if
the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties
accord comparable collateral. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, neither the US
Administrative Agent, any Secured Creditor nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to
the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the US Administrative Agent and the
Secured Creditors hereunder are solely to protect the US Administrative Agent’s and the Secured
Creditors’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the US Administrative
Agent or any Secured Creditor to exercise any such powers. The US Administrative Agent and the
Secured Creditors shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of
the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the US Administrative Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment,
notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or
the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Pledgor or other
Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters. Each Pledgor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any
right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the US
Administrative Agent or any Secured Creditor to proceed against any Pledgor or other Person,
exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the US Administrative Agent or any Secured
Creditor now has or may hereafter have against each Pledgor, any Pledgor or other Person.
Section 6.03 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC and any other applicable
law, each Pledgor authorizes the US Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and
other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and
in such offices as the US Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the
security interests of the US Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or
recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
Section 6.04 Authority of US Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the
rights and responsibilities of the US Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any
action taken by the US Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the US
18
Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the US
Administrative Agent and the Secured Creditors, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such
other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the US Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the US Administrative Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Creditors with full and valid authority so to act or
refrain from acting, and no
Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy

other Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan

and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the US Administrative Agent’s
and the Secured Creditors’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this

Section 7.10 Acknowledgments. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b) neither the US Administrative Agent nor any Secured Creditor has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any

is solely that of debtor and creditor;
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Creditors or among the Pledgors
and the Secured Creditors; and
(d) Each of the parties hereto specifically agrees that it has a duty to read this Agreement,

rights, benefits and obligations as a Pledgor party hereto on the date hereof. Each Pledgor that
is required to pledge the Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 9.07(a) of the
Credit Agreement shall execute and deliver a Supplement in the form of Annex II hereto, if
such Equity Interests were not previously pledged.
Section 7.12 Releases.
(a) Full Release. The grant of a security interest hereunder and all of rights,

Pledgors and (ii) executed a written release or termination statement and reassigned to the
Pledgors without recourse or warranty any remaining Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby in

Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section 2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) and the
compliance by the Pledgors with all covenants and agreements hereof and the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments, the US Administrative Agent, at the written request and expense of the
Borrowers, will promptly release, reassign and transfer pursuant to Section 9.07(d) of the Credit
Agreement the Collateral to the Pledgors and declare this Agreement to be of no further force or
effect.

Pledgors are authorized to release pursuant to Section 9.07(d) of the Credit Agreement any
Collateral that is Transferred in compliance with Sections 10.08 and 10.14 of the Credit Agreement
at which point the liens and security interests shall terminate with respect to such Collateral and
this Agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to such released Collateral;
provided that so long as the lien in favor of the US Administrative Agent continues in the
proceeds of such Transfer of such Collateral, or to the extent such Collateral is Transferred to
any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, such lien continues in such Collateral.
(c) Retention in Satisfaction. Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to
Section 9.620 of the UCC, no action taken or omission to act by the US Administrative Agent
23
or the
Secured Creditors hereunder, including, without limitation, any exercise of voting or consensual
rights or any other action taken or inaction, shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the
Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations or otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the
Obligations, and the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, until the US Administrative
Agent and the Secured Creditors shall have applied payments (including, without limitation,
collections from Collateral) towards the Obligations in the full amount then outstanding or until
such subsequent time as is provided in Section 7.12(a).
Section 7.13 Acceptance. Each Pledgor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of this
Agreement, acceptance on the part of the US Administrative Agent and the Secured Creditors being
