This is a guarantee of payment and not collection and the liability of each Guarantor is primary and not secondary.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Guaranteed Document to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Guaranteed Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.02), and (ii) the maximum liability of each of Kodiak, Holdco (US) and their Subsidiaries hereunder and under the other Guaranteed Documents shall in no event exceed, as to each such Person, the maximum amount which such Person may guarantee without violation of the Kodiak Indentures.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that if the maturity of the Borrower Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee.

The shares of Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Equity Interests of each Issuer owned by such Pledgor (or in the case of any Issuer that is a Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO, sixty six percent (66%) of all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO). All the shares of the Pledged Securities have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable (except as otherwise provided by law); and such Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good title to, the Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens, except the security interest created by this Agreement and Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement, and has the power to pledge the Pledged Securities in which a Lien is granted by it hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent from time to time, there are no restrictions on transfer (that have not been waived or otherwise consented to) in the applicable LLC Agreement governing any Pledged LLC Interest and the applicable Partnership Agreement governing any Pledged Partnership Interest or any other agreement relating thereto which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a security interest in the Pledged LLC Interests and the Pledged Partnership Interests, (ii) the perfection of such security interest or (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected security interest in the Pledged LLC Interests and the Pledged Partnership Interests, in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the exercise of remedies in respect of the Pledged LLC Interests and the Pledged Partnership Interests, a transferee or assignee of a membership interest or partnership interest, as the case may be, of such LLC or Partnership, as the case may be, shall become a member or partner, as the case may be, of such LLC or Partnership, as the case may be, entitled to participate in the management thereof and, upon the transfer of the entire interest of such Pledgor, such Pledgor ceases to be a member or partner, as the case may be.

Section 4.05 Benefit to the Guarantor. The Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Guarantor and the Borrower and the other Guarantors are engaged in related businesses. Each Guarantor is related to the Borrower and its guaranty and surety obligations pursuant to this Agreement is expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, it; and it has determined that this Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Borrower.

Section 4.06 Solvency. Each Obligor (a) is not insolvent as of the date hereof and will not be rendered insolvent as a result of this Agreement (after giving effect to Section 2.01(e)), (b) is not engaged in business or a transaction, or about to engage in a business or a transaction, for which any Property remaining with it constitute unreasonably small capital, and (c) does not intend to incur, or believe it will incur, Debt that will be beyond its ability to pay as such Debt matures.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of such Pledgor, it will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the delivery of certificated securities, if any, and the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby.

Section 5.03 Pledged Securities. In the case of each Pledgor, such Pledgor agrees that:

(a) if such Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Equity Interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of the Guaranteed Creditors, hold the same in trust for the Guaranteed Creditors, segregated from other Property of such Pledgor, and deliver the same, promptly to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Pledgor to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the aforementioned, such Pledgor shall execute a Supplemental Pledge Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex III.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will not unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or under the other Loan Documents, (i) at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof, or (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement and Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof except for any agreement or instrument of a type contemplated by Section 9.15 of the Credit Agreement or in respect of any other transaction otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement.

(c) in the case of each Pledgor that is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.03(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Section 6.02(d) and Section 6.03 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.02(d) or Section 6.03 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. In the case of any Issuer that is not a Pledgor hereunder, such Pledgor shall promptly cause such Issuer to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Acknowledgment and Consent in substantially the form of Exhibit A.

(d) in the case of each Pledgor that is a partner in a Partnership, such Pledgor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable Partnership Agreement to the pledge by each other Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Partnership Interests in such Partnership and to the transfer of such Pledged Partnership Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner in such Partnership with all the rights, powers and duties of a general partner or a limited partner, as the case may be, following the exercise of remedies hereunder in connection with the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. In the case of each Pledgor that is a member of an LLC, such Pledgor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable LLC Agreement to the pledge by each other Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged LLC Interests in such LLC and to the transfer of such Pledged LLC Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted member of the LLC with all the rights, powers and duties of a member of such LLC following the exercise of remedies hereunder in connection with the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 6.01 Code and Other Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,

the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law or otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances (i.e., during the continuance of an Event of Default) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Guaranteed Creditor or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Guaranteed Creditor shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released (to the extent permitted by law). If applicable to any particular item of Collateral, each Pledgor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or transfer by the Administrative Agent

either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Pledgor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted (and such Pledgor hereby waives any rights it may have in respect thereof). Upon any such sale or transfer, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.01, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required in connection therewith by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor arising out of the exercise by them of any rights. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, the remedies set forth in this Section 6.01(a) shall only be pursued during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent elects not to sell the Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

(c) In furtherance of and in connection with this Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral.

Section 6.02 Pledged Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Pledgor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.01(a), each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and to exercise all voting, consent and corporate, partnership or limited liability rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, consent given or right exercised or other action taken by such Pledgor that would violate any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, during an Event of Default, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, enable or permit any issuer of Pledged Securities to issue any Equity Interest or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interest of any issuer of Pledged Securities other than as permitted by the Credit Agreement. During an Event of Default, any sums paid upon or in respect of any Pledged Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Pledged Securities, any distribution of capital made on or in respect of any Pledged Securities or any property distributed upon or with respect to any Pledged Securities pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer of Pledged Securities or pursuant to the reorganization thereof shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as

additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sum of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any Pledged Securities shall be received by such Pledgor, such Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, as additional security for the Obligations.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments, Property or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Borrower Obligations in accordance with Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and (iii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate, partnership or limited liability and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members (or other equivalent body) of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for Property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, until the payment in full in cash of the Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, and in order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Pledgor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Securities and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Securities would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Securities on the record books of the Issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the Issuer of such Pledged Securities or any officer or agent thereof).

(d) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing (a copy of which instructions shall also be provided by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Pledgor) that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Administrative Agent, if requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the instruction above.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Issuer of any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Pledgor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

Section 6.03 Private Sales of Pledged Securities.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of Section 6.03(a) and (b) shall only apply during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may reasonably be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 6.03 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Governmental Requirements. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Guaranteed Creditors, that the Guaranteed Creditors have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.03 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.04 Deficiency. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.05 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The Administrative Agent may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 7.01 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.

(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, exercisable during an Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all reasonably appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without assent by such Pledgor (but with notice provided to such Pledgor in each case) to do any or all of the following:

(i) unless being disputed in accordance with or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.01 or Section 6.03, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(iii) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) in the name of such Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (D) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (E) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (F) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the Guaranteed Creditors’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) During an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply on behalf of the relevant Obligor, or otherwise cause performance or compliance on behalf of the relevant Obligor, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.01, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the post-default rate specified in Section 3.02(c) of the Credit Agreement, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, from the date of the relevant Obligor’s receipt of a written invoice in reasonable detail from the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by such Obligor, shall promptly be paid by such Obligor to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Obligor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and in compliance herewith. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, are paid in full in cash.

Section 7.02 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar Property for its own account and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed Creditor nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Guaranteed Creditors’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their Related Parties shall be responsible to any Obligor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, breach of contract or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Pledgor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Obligor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor to proceed against any Obligor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor now has or may hereafter have against each Obligor, any Obligor or other Person.

Section 7.03 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC and any other applicable law, each Pledgor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

Section 7.04 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Obligor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Obligors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Guaranteed Creditors with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Obligor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VIII

SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS

Section 8.01 Subordination of All Obligor Claims. As used herein, the term “Obligor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor to any other Obligor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by.

Section 8.02 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings of any Obligor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Obligor Claims. Effective upon the occurrence of an event described in the prior sentence, each Obligor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors for application against the Borrower Obligations as provided under Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement. After the occurrence of an event described in the first sentence of this Section 8.02, should any Agent or Guaranteed Creditor receive, for application upon the Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Obligor, and which, as between such Obligors, shall constitute a credit upon the Obligor Claims, then upon payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, the expiration of all Letters of Credit (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion) outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the termination of all of the Commitments, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors to the extent that such payments to the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors on the Obligor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors had not received dividends or payments upon the Obligor Claims.

Section 8.03 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstanding Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, any Obligor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so

received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors; and each Obligor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04 Liens Subordinate. Each Obligor agrees that, until the Borrower Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion) and the termination of all of the Commitments, any Liens securing payment of the Obligor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and until the Borrower Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion) and all of the Commitments are terminated, no Obligor shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Obligor Claims, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, privilege or remedy or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude or be construed as a waiver of any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity.

All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given in the manner and subject to the terms of Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 (or other such address as provided by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent).

Section 9.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Obligor herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Agreement except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Guarantor Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Guarantor Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue (including without limitation all Guarantor Obligations arising under Article II hereof) as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Guaranteed Creditors’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors to effect such reinstatement.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Letters of Credit and the Letter of Credit Agreements) represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

(c) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by e-mail or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or such Affiliates may have. Any Lender or Affiliate that exercises a right of setoff under this section shall provide the Obligor prompt written notice thereof, it being understood that the failure to do so shall not impair the effectiveness of any such setoff in accordance with this Section.

Section 9.11 Acknowledgments. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Guaranteed Creditor has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Guaranteed Creditors, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;

EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

Section 9.12 Additional Obligors and Pledgors. Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or Additional Borrower that is required to become a party hereto pursuant to Sections 2.09 or 8.13 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise desires to become a party hereto (if not already an Obligor hereunder) shall become an Obligor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto and shall thereafter have the same rights, benefits and obligations as an Obligor party hereto on the date hereof. Each Obligor that is required to pledge Equity Interests of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 8.13 of the Credit Agreement shall execute and deliver a Supplement in the form of Annex II hereto, if such Equity Interests were not previously pledged.

Section 9.13 Releases.

(a) Release Upon Payment in Full. Subject to Section 9.05, the grant of a security interest hereunder and all of rights, powers and remedies in connection herewith shall remain in full force and effect until the Borrower Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion) and all of the Commitments are terminated. When the Borrower Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been satisfactorily collateralized in the applicable Issuing Bank’s reasonable opinion)

and all of the Commitments are terminated, such security interest shall automatically be released and the Administrative Agent, at the expense of the Borrower, will promptly release, reassign and transfer the Collateral to the Pledgors and declare this Agreement to be of no further force or effect.

(b) Partial Releases. If any of the Collateral or any Equity Interest shall be subject to a Sale permitted under the Credit Agreement or otherwise entitled to be released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, upon the Parent Guarantor’s election to commence an Investment Grade Rating Period), then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral and the Equity Interests of the Issuer thereof. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event such Guarantor ceases (or contemporarily with such release will cease) to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor as a result of a transaction or series of transactions permitted by the Credit Agreement or is otherwise entitled to be released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, upon the Parent Guarantor’s election to commence an Investment Grade Rating Period); provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower for release identifying the relevant Guarantor and stating that such release is permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Liens hereunder on Properties subject to Sales permitted under the Credit Agreement from time to time shall automatically be released upon such Sales without the necessity of any further action by any party.

(c) Retention in Satisfaction. Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC, no action taken or omission to act by the Administrative Agent or the Guaranteed Creditors hereunder, including, without limitation, any exercise of voting or consensual rights or any other action taken or inaction, shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations or otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, until the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors shall have applied payments (including, without limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the Obligations except for (i) the Swap Agreements which shall be payable upon the terms of such Swap Agreements, (ii) contingent obligations not yet due, and (iii) amounts owed or other obligations under Treasury Management Agreements with respect to which satisfactory collateral has been posted, in the full amount then outstanding or until such subsequent time as is provided in Section 9.13.

Section 9.14 Acceptance. Each Obligor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, acceptance on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors being conclusively presumed by their request for this Agreement and delivery of the same to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.15 Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. The Borrower, the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower Obligations hereunder constitute “Senior Debt” and “Designated Senior Debt,” in each case, under and as defined in the Indentures pursuant to which the Senior Notes have been issued.

Section 9.16 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates and is given in substitution for, but not in satisfaction of the Existing Guaranty Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or affect the liens and security interests heretofore granted, pledged and/or assigned to the Administrative Agent under the Existing Guaranty Agreement except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement.
