It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto (including, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Agreement, each Secured Party) that (v) as of the Closing Date, the total amount of Secured Obligations is in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount as of the Closing Date, (w) from time to time after the Closing Date, the total amount of the Secured Obligations may be in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount then in effect, (x) as of the Closing Date, the Secured Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount are not secured by any Restricted Property hereunder or under any other Collateral Document, (y) at any time after the Closing Date, any Secured Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount in effect at such time shall not be secured by any Restricted Property hereunder or under any other Collateral Document and (z) in no event shall any Lien (as defined in each Senior Note Indenture) on any Restricted Property in favor of any Secured Party created hereunder or under any other Collateral Document at any time secure any Secured Obligations in excess of the Indenture Threshold Amount then in effect.

Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and that the Administrative Agent has a perfected first priority security interest therein (subject only to Permitted Liens). Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Collateral acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by such Pledgor or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. All certificated Securities Collateral 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to endorse, assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations.

SECTION 3.2. Perfection of Uncertificated Securities Collateral. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Administrative Agent has a perfected first priority security inter-

-12-

est (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all uncertificated Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date hereof. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) if necessary to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Securities, cause the issuer to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (unless such requirement is waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) if necessary to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Securities, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the Administrative Agent, (A) execute customary pledge forms or other documents necessary to give the Administrative Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities in the pursuit of remedies under the terms hereof, (B) cause the Organization Documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of the Borrower to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC and (C) cause such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.

SECTION 3.3. Financing Statements and Other Filings; Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all filings necessary to perfect the security interest (to the extent such security interests can be perfected by filing) granted by it to the Administrative Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in completed and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, duly executed in a form for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate. Each Pledgor agrees that at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such Pledgor will maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral as a perfected first priority security interest subject only to Permitted Liens.

SECTION 3.4. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, each Pledgor represents and warrants (as to itself) as follows and agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Pledged Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, no amounts payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral are evidenced by any Instrument (other than a check to be deposited) or Tangible Chattel Paper other than (i) any Intercompany Notes representing amounts in the aggregate for all Pledgors of less than or equal to $1,000,000 and (ii) such Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate. Each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate, has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper and such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by any Instrument (other than a check to be deposited) or Tangible Chattel Paper not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent exceeds $10,000,000 in the ag-

-13-

gregate for all Pledgors, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify.

(b) Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed in Schedule 14 to the Perfection Certificate. The Administrative Agent, upon execution of a Deposit Account Control Agreement by such Pledgor, the applicable Bank and the Administrative Agent (but in any event within sixty (60) days after the date hereof or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), will have a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in each such Deposit Account, which security interest is perfected by Control. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) unless such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent (within ten (10) days after the date of establishment thereof, or after the date on which such Deposit Account ceases to be an Excluded Account, as the case may be, or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account or the Administrative Agent agrees in writing in its sole discretion that such Deposit Account Control Agreement shall not be required. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the Administrative Agent shall not (i) give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Pledgor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or (ii) deliver a “notice of sole control” with respect to any Deposit Account unless, in each case, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Pledgor agrees that once the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, sends an instruction or notice to a Bank (with a copy to the applicable Pledgor) exercising its Control over any Deposit Account, such Pledgor shall not give any instructions or orders with respect to such Deposit Account including, without limitation, instructions for distribution or transfer of any funds in such Deposit Account, and the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after such Event of Default shall have ceased to exist in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, upon written notice from Pledgor requesting the same, deliver written notice to the Bank rescinding the applicable instruction or notice, at which point the Pledgor’s right to give any instructions or orders with respect to such Deposit Account shall be reinstated. No Pledgor shall grant Control of any Deposit Account to any person other than the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 3.4(b) shall not apply to any Excluded Accounts.

(c) Securities Accounts. (i) As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any Securities Accounts other than those listed in Schedule 14 to the Perfection Certificate. The Administrative Agent, upon execution of a Securities Account Control Agreement by such Pledgor, the applicable Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent (but in any event within sixty (60) days after the date hereof or such longer period as may be

-14-

agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) will have a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in each such Securities Account, which security interest is perfected by Control. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) with any Securities Intermediary unless such Securities Intermediary and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered (within ten (10) days after the date of establishment thereof, or after the date on which such Securities Account ceases to be an Excluded Account, as the case may be, or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) a Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or the Administrative Agent agrees in writing in its sole discretion that such Securities Account Control Agreement shall not be required. Each Pledgor shall accept any cash and Investment Property in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and within five (5) Business Days of actual receipt thereof, deposit any and all cash and Investment Property received by it into a Deposit Account or Securities Account subject to Administrative Agent’s Control. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the Administrative Agent shall not (i) give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities or Securities Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor or (ii) deliver a “notice of sole control” with respect to any Securities Account, unless, in each case, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. Each Pledgor agrees that once the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, sends an instruction or notice to a Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the applicable Pledgor) exercising its Control over any Securities Account such Pledgor shall not give any instructions or orders with respect to such Securities Account including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer of any Investment Property or financial asset maintained in such Securities Account, and the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after such Event of Default shall have ceased to exist in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver, upon written notice from Pledgor requesting the same, written notice to the Securities Intermediary rescinding the applicable instruction or notice, at which point the Pledgor’s right to give any instructions or orders with respect to such Securities Account shall be reinstated. No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any person other than the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 3.4(c) shall not apply to any Excluded Accounts.

(ii) As between the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Administrative Agent, a Securities Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other person.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. As of the date hereof, no amount under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral in the aggregate for all Pledgors in excess of $1,000,000 is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic

-15-

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction) other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record, the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Administrative Agent control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in which the Administrative Agent has not been vested control within the meaning of the statutes described in the immediately preceding sentence, does not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors. The Administrative Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Pledgor, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement. The actions in the preceding sentence shall not be required to the extent that the amount of any such Letter of Credit, together with the aggregate amount of all other Letters of Credit for which the actions described above in clause (i) and (ii) have not been taken, does not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors.

(f) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claims individually or in the aggregate in excess of $2,000,000 other than those listed in Schedule 13 to the Perfection Certificate. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim,

-16-

such Pledgor shall promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of such Commercial Tort Claim, together with the amount of all other Commercial Tort Claims held by any Pledgor in which the Administrative Agent does not have a security interest, does not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors.

SECTION 3.5. Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary of the Borrower which, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to pledge any assets to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Guaranty and (ii) a Perfection Certificate with respect to such Subsidiary, in each case, within thirty (30) Business Days (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of the date on which it was acquired or created and, in each case, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.6. Supplements; Further Assurances.

Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby and the execution and delivery of Control Agreements, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in such offices (including the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office) wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and priority of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent such lists, schedules, descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collat-

-17-

eral as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Administrative Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.

PROPERTY COLLATERAL

SECTION 6.1. Grant of Intellectual Property License.

With respect to Trademarks, such license shall be subject to the requirement that the quality of goods and services offered under the Trademarks be substantially consistent with the quality of the goods and services offered thereunder by such Pledgor prior to the Administrative Agent’s exercise of rights and remedies. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

SECTION 6.2. Protection of Administrative Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) maintain all Material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated, not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any such Material Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case except as shall be consistent with such Pledgor’s commercially reasonable business judgment, (ii) upon such Pledgor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any Material Intellectual Property Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, (iii) not license

-22-

any Intellectual Property Collateral other than licenses entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the Intellectual Property Licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created therein hereby, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (iv) keep adequate records respecting all Intellectual Property Collateral consistent with such Pledgor’s practices in the ordinary course of business and (v) furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any Intellectual Property Collateral as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

SECTION 6.3. After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date hereof (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, or if any intent-to use trademark application is no longer subject to the definition of Excluded Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Pledgor shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of its acquisition of any registered or applied-for Copyright, Patent or Trademark (other than URLs and domain names) and shall confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral. Further, each Pledgor authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedules 12(a) and 12(b) to the Perfection Certificate to include any Intellectual Property Collateral of such Pledgor acquired or arising after the date hereof.

SECTION 6.4. Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in

SECTION 7.3. Modification of Terms, etc. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Pledgor shall rescind or cancel any obligations evidenced by any Receivable or modify any term thereof in any manner that would adversely affect the value as Pledged Collateral or make any adjustment with respect thereto except in the ordinary course of business consistent with its current business practice, or extend or renew any such obligations except in the ordinary course of business consistent with current business practice or compromise or settle any dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto or sell any Receivable or interest therein except in the ordinary course of business consistent with current business practice without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Pledgor shall timely fulfill all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Receivables.

REMEDIES

SECTION 9.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:

(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof after notice, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;

(ii) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3)

-25-

Business Days after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent;

(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any place or places so designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall, at its own expense, promptly cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Administrative Agent and therewith delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;

(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and

(viii) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Administrative Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged 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 Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged

-26-

Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which 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 Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative 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. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession or the Administrative Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except to the extent caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any agent acting on its behalf, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administra-

-27-

tive Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information that is then available to such Pledgor as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Administrative Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.4 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 (i) that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) relating to any statute of limitations.

SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, col-

-28-

lateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Administrative Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.

ARTICLE X

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

SECTION 10.1. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Concerning Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the rat-

-29-

able benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may resign and a successor Administrative Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless the other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral expressly states that such document shall control.

(e) The Administrative Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in Section 6.18 of the Credit Agreement. If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the Administrative Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Administrative Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Administrative Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Administrative Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.

-30-

SECTION 11.2. Administrative Agent May Perform; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) discharge Liens or (iv) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), following notice to such Pledgor of such failure to perform and such Pledgor’s failure to remedy such failure within a commercially reasonable time period, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Except where prior notice is expressly not required by the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Pledgor prior to taking any action taken in the preceding sentence, provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not limit the Administrative Agent’s right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or a Secured Cash Management Agreement, such Secured Hedge

-31-

Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as applicable. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.

SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. The Pledged Collateral and the Secured Obligations of any Pledgor shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.11(a), (b) or (c) of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, when all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full (other than (A) contingent obligations not then due and payable and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements), the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon the sale or disposition of any Pledged Collateral pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement (other than any sale or disposition to another Pledgor), such Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent except as to the fact that the Administrative Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Administrative Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases, or other documentation as such Pledgor shall reasonably request) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.

SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 11.6. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Credit Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement and as

-32-

SECTION 11.7. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.

SECTION 11.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

SECTION 11.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition.

SECTION 11.12. No Claims Against Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Administrative Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Administrative Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

SECTION 11.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or

CONTROL AGREEMENT CONCERNING SECURITIES ACCOUNTS

This Control Agreement Concerning Securities Accounts (this “Control Agreement”), dated as of [ ], by and among [ ] (the “Pledgor”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and [ ] (the “Securities Intermediary”), is delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of that certain security agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), dated as of May 24, 2010, made by the Pledgor and each of the Guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent, as pledgee, assignee and secured party. This Control Agreement is for the purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Secured Parties granted by the Pledgor in the Designated Accounts described below. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

Section 1. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Securities Intermediary has established for the Pledgor and maintains the account(s) listed in Schedule I annexed hereto (such account(s), together with each such other securities account maintained by the Pledgor, or an affiliate thereof, with the Securities Intermediary and designated in writing by the Pledgor or such affiliate to be covered by this Control Agreement collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, (v) each of the Designated Accounts is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, (vi) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets which are credited to any Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Designated Account be registered in the name of the Pledgor, payable to the order of the Pledgor or specially endorsed to the Pledgor, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank and (vii) the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of any of the Designated Accounts with-

-2-

out the prior written consent of (A) prior to the delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in accordance with Section 9(i), the Pledgor, (B) subsequent to the delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in accordance with Section 9(i), the Administrative Agent.

Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. All parties hereto agree that each item of Investment Property and all other property held in or credited to any Designated Account (the “Account Property”) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

Section 3. Entitlement Order. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Administrative Agent and relating to any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Securities Intermediary shall also comply with instructions directing the Securities Intermediary with respect to the sale, exchange or transfer of any Account Property held in each Designated Account originated by a Pledgor, or any representative of, or investment manager appointed by, a Pledgor until such time as the Administrative Agent delivers a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 9(i) to the Securities Intermediary.

Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in the next sentence) right of setoff against, any Designated Account or any Account Property it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Designated Accounts and the Account Property therein or credited thereto. The Securities Intermediary agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against any of the Designated Accounts or to assert against any of the Designated Accounts any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties) that the Securities Intermediary may at any time have against or in any of the Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary may set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Designated Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions.

Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor with respect to any Designated Account or any security entitlements or other financial

-3-

assets credited thereto (other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor will not enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice thereof. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor have not and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to (i) creation or perfection of any security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements maintained in any of the Designated Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with respect to any Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 3 hereof without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to control over any Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control Agreement or waiver of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

Section 7. Certain Agreements.

(i) As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Administrative Agent the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with respect to each of the Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash balances held therein, identifying the financial assets held therein in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each such statement accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account as of the date thereof.

(ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each supplement to the Security Agreement signed by the Pledgor and identifying one or more financial assets as “Pledged Collateral,” enter into its records, including computer records, with respect to each Designated Account a notation with respect to any such financial asset so that such records and reports generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as “Pledged.”

Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Administrative Agent and of the Pledgor in the Account Property held in or credited to the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, security interest in, lien on, or encumbrance against, any Designated Account or Account Property held in or credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any person or entity other than the Administrative Agent has been given “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated Account or any such Account Property. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of control) against any of the Account Property held in

-4-

or credited to any Designated Account, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Pledgor thereof.

Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain the Designated Accounts as follows:

(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Administrative Agent delivers to the Securities Intermediary a notice instructing the Securities Intermediary to terminate Pledgor’s access to any Designated Account (the “Notice of Sole Control”), the Securities Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from the Administrative Agent, and cease taking instructions from Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting settlement of trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall not constitute a violation of the immediately preceding sentence. Promptly after such Event of Default shall have ceased to exist in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement the Administrative Agent shall, upon written notice from the Pledgor requesting the same, deliver written notice to the Securities Intermediary rescinding the applicable Notice of Sole Control.

(ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor, or an investment manager on behalf of the Pledgor, shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to any Designated Account.

(iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will send copies of all statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations) concerning any Designated Account or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent at the address set forth in Section 11 hereof. The Securities Intermediary will provide to the Administrative Agent and to the Pledgor, upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor from time to time and, in any event, as of the last business day of each calendar month, a statement of the market value of each financial asset maintained in each Designated Account. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(iv) Perfection in Certificated Securities. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate representing any security or other Account Property held in or credited to any of the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession of the same on behalf and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and such act shall cause the Securities Intermediary to be deemed holding such certificate for the Administrative Agent, if neces-

-5-

sary to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such securities or assets. The Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of the Security Agreement, which shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security interest in collateral held on behalf and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors and permitted assignees.

Section 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error free receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth below.
