SECTION 2.6. Distributions on Pledged Shares. In the event that any Distribution with respect to any Pledged Shares or Pledged Interests pledged hereunder is permitted to be paid (in accordance with Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement), then subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such Distribution or payment may be paid directly to the applicable Grantor. If any Distribution is made in contravention of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, the applicable Grantor shall hold the same segregated and in trust for the Collateral Agent until paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.1(e) during such time as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Pledge and Security Agreement

the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other Grantor of, or Collateral securing, any Obligations, (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations, (d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations (except in the case of the occurrence of the Termination Date) for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Grantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment), (e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document, (f) any addition, exchange or release of any Collateral of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured Party guaranteeing any of the Obligations, or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Grantor, any surety or any guarantor (other than defense of payment).

SECTION 2.8. Waiver of Subrogation. Until 91 days after the Termination Date, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirement any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Grantor’s obligations under this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against any Loan Party or any Collateral which any Secured Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other Property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Termination Date shall not have occurred, then such amount shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, be deemed to have been paid to such Grantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 2.8 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 2.9. Election of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, if any Secured Party may, under applicable Legal Requirements, proceed to realize its benefits under any of this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents giving any Secured Party a Lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Secured Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Security Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Secured Party shall forfeit

Pledge and Security Agreement

any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party or any other Person, whether because of any Legal Requirements pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Grantor hereby consents to such action, to the extent not prohibited by any Legal Requirement, by such Secured Party and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Secured Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Secured Party.

SECTION 2.10. Lien Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding of the parties that the Liens granted pursuant to Section 2.1 herein shall, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, be subject and subordinate to the Liens granted to the First Lien Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to secure the First Lien Obligations. All other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are further subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

All Distributions, interest, principal, cash payments, Payment Intangibles and Proceeds that may at any time and from time to time be held by any Grantor but which such Grantor is then obligated to deliver to the Collateral Agent (or First Lien Administrative Agent, as applicable), shall, until delivery to the Collateral Agent (or First Lien Administrative Agent, as applicable), be held by such Grantor separate and apart from its other Property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, following the delivery of notice pursuant to clause (b)(ii) of this Section 4.3 during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to apply any amount in the Collateral Accounts to the payment of any Obligations which are due and payable or in accordance with the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.8. As to Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, until the Termination Date, with respect to any Commercial Tort Claims seeking damages in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate hereafter arising, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Administrative Agent, acting as gratuitous bailee on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), within thirty (30) days after such Commercial Tort Claim arises, a supplement to Schedule II in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims.

Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver (or authorize the Collateral Agent to duly execute and deliver) all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request (such request, in all events shall not be in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement), in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral subject to the terms hereof. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the acquisition after the date hereof by such Grantor of any Collateral (other than Excluded Perfection Collateral), with respect to which the security interest granted hereunder is not perfected automatically upon such acquisition, to take such actions with respect to such Collateral or any part thereof as required by the Loan Documents.

Pledge and Security Agreement

The authorization contained in this Section 4.11 shall be irrevocable and continuing until the Termination Date. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by Legal Requirement. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file financing statements describing as the Collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 5.1 IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE.

SECTION 5.2. Collateral Agent May Perform.

Pledge and Security Agreement

SECTION 5.3. Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care 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 or responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property and any other Pledged Property, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

SECTION 5.4. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral (a) if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own personal property, or (b) if the Collateral Agent takes such action for that purpose as any Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, further, that failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to any notice requirements otherwise required herein or under any other Loan Document:

(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 on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process, (ii) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iii) subject to applicable Legal Requirement or agreements with landlords, bailees or warehousemen enter onto the Property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process, and (iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Legal Requirement, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time of any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification; provided, however, that with respect to Collateral that is (x) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or (y) is of a type customarily sold on a

Pledge and Security Agreement

recognized market (including but not limited to, Investment Property), no notice of sale or disposition need be given. For purposes of this Article VI, notice of any intended sale or disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or email, and shall be deemed to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. Mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service or upon electronic submission through telephonic or internet services, as applicable. 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.

(b) Each Grantor that is or may become a fee estate owner of Property where any Collateral is located agrees and acknowledges that (i) Collateral Agent may remove the Collateral or any part thereof from such Property in accordance with statutory law appertaining thereto without objection, delay, hindrance or interference by such Grantor and in such case such Grantor will make no claim or demand whatsoever against the Collateral, (ii) it will (x) cooperate with Collateral Agent in its efforts to assemble and/or remove all of the Collateral located on the such property; (y) permit Collateral Agent and its agents to enter upon such Property and occupy the Property at any or all times to conduct an auction or sale, and/or to inspect, audit, examine, safeguard, assemble, appraise, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, lease, transfer, auction and/or sell the Collateral; and (z) not hinder Collateral Agent’s actions in enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for a breach of this Section 6.1(b). In addition to all other remedies available hereunder, under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to seek, at such Grantor’s expense, equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, without proof of actual damages.

(c) Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Goods, Computer Hardware and Software Collateral, or Intellectual Property Collateral may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees and acknowledges that the following shall be deemed a reasonable commercial disposition: (i) a disposition made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) a disposition at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition, and (iii) a disposition in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of Property subject to the disposition.

(d) All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection or enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable, and (ii) the affected party has provided the Collateral Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(e) The Collateral Agent may do any or all of the following: (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder, (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder, (iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account, (iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto, (v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the applicable Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral, (vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, or (vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of the applicable Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

(f) No such exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent or cure by the Collateral Agent of any Event of Default on any Grantor’s behalf shall operate as a waiver of any Secured Party’s rights with respect to such Event of Default or any other Event of Default.

SECTION 6.2. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Legal Requirement (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

SECTION 6.3. Indemnity and Expenses.

Pledge and Security Agreement

IS NOT RELATED TO ANY ACT, OMISSION OR REPRESENTATION ON THE PART OF, OR ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF, THE BORROWER, ANY GRANTOR OR AFFILIATES THEREOF. THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY NON-TAX CLAIM. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby, settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnitee to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee, (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (z) does not require any actions to be taken or refrained from being taken by any Indemnitee other than the execution of the related settlement agreement, if any.

(b) Other than as set forth in clause (c) below, each Grantor will within 30 days of invoice pay to the Collateral Agent and any legal counsel the amount of any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsels and of any experts and agents, which the Collateral Agent and any legal counsel may incur in connection herewith, including without limitation in connection with the administration of this Security Agreement and the custody, preservation, use or operation of, any of the Collateral,

(c) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent and any legal counsel the amount of any and all documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its counsels and of any experts and agents, which the Collateral Agent and any legal counsel may incur in connection (i) the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Security Agreement, (ii) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent and any legal counsel or any of the Secured Parties hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, in each case, subject to the limitations that may be provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6.4. Warranties. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties or representations as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may disclaim any warranties of title or the like. Each Grantor agrees that this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

SECTION 6.5. Exempt Sale. If, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, there is any question that a public or semipublic sale or distribution of any Pledged Property will violate any state or federal securities law, the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion (a) may offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will agree to imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing the security, or (b) may sell such securities in an intrastate offering under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no sale so made in good faith by the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be not “commercially reasonable” solely

Pledge and Security Agreement

because so made. Each Grantor shall cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Pledged Property. In addition, each Grantor shall fully comply with the securities laws of the United States, the State of New York and other states and take such actions as may be necessary to permit the Collateral Agent to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities representing the Pledged Property in compliance with such Legal Requirements.

SECTION 6.6. Cumulative Remedies. Each right, power and remedy herein specifically granted to the Collateral Agent or otherwise available to it shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise, and each such right, power and remedy, whether specifically granted herein or otherwise existing, may be exercised at any time and from time-to-time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any such right, power or remedy, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

SUPPLEMENT NO. ______ dated as of _____________, 20__ (the “Supplement”), to the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of September 29, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among PENN VIRGINIA HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (“Holdings”), each subsidiary of Holdings signatory thereto (together with the Borrower and Holdings, the “Grantors” and individually, a “Grantor”) and Jefferies Finance LLC, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) under the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

A. Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as the administrative agent and collateral agent.

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

C. Section 7.11 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of Holdings may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary of Holdings (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement.

D. [Furthermore, pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement, the equity holder of each Subsidiary of Holdings that was not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into the Security Agreement as a Grantor, or supplement its Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), to pledge the equity of such new Subsidiary. [Equity holder of new Subsidiary] (the “Existing Grantor”; and together with the New Grantor, each a “Specific Grantor” and, collectively, the “Specific Grantors”), is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to supplement its Collateral under the Security Agreement.]

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the [New Grantor][Specific Grantors] agree as follows:

SECTION 1. [The Existing Grantor by its signature below (i) hereby agrees that, except as supplemented and renewed hereby, all of the terms, obligations, rights and conditions of the Security Agreement have not been amended in any way and are and will remain binding upon, and enforceable against the Existing Grantor (ii) reaffirms all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (iii) after giving effect to this Supplement, represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Change in the text thereof, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof.]

SECTION 2. [The Existing Grantor agrees that the terms “Pledged Property”, “Pledged Interests”, and “Pledged Shares” as used in the Security Agreement are hereby supplemented to include, and the Existing Grantor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent, and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien on all of the Existing Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to, all of its Equity Interests (as defined in the Security Agreement) or any other ownership interest described in, and set forth on, Schedule I, attached hereto and incorporated herein.]

SECTION 3. In accordance with Section 7.11 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby agrees (a) to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Change in the text thereof, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns as provided in the Security Agreement, a continuing security interest in and Lien on all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 4. [The New Grantor][Each Specific Grantor] represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

SECTION 5. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the [New Grantor][Specific Grantors] and the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 6. [The New Grantor][Each Specific Grantor] hereby agrees that the schedules attached to the Security Agreement are hereby supplemented by the corresponding schedules attached to this Supplement.

SECTION 10. In case one or more provisions of this Supplement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Legal Requirement, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or in the Security Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the [New Grantor][each Specific Grantor] shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature hereto.

SECTION 12. The New Grantor][Each Specific Grantor] agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
