If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests required to be pledged hereunder shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

4.5. Voting and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Securities. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the relevant Grantor shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall be permitted to receive all dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests required to be pledged hereunder and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes or Pledged Debt Securities required to be pledged hereunder, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to such Pledged Equity Interests. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the relevant Grantor shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent: (i) all rights of the relevant Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Securities required to be pledged hereunder, which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of such Pledged Securities to its name or the name of its nominee or agent, (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Securities required to be pledged hereunder for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations and (iv) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, the relevant Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and the relevant Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein. Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of Pledged Securities required to be pledged hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other

or further instructions from the relevant Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that the Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Issuer shall have received notice from the Collateral Agent, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to such Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent.

4.6. Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount (taking the greater of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) of $3,000,000 or more, such Grantor shall within 30 days of the date that the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) of the Credit Agreement are required to be delivered (or a later date to which the Administrative Agent agrees), notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor and shall promptly thereafter grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

4.7. Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, do any act or omit to do any act whereby any material Intellectual Property may lapse, become abandoned, cancelled, dedicated to the public, forfeited, or otherwise impaired, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for a Copyright, Patent, or Trademark listed in Schedule 6, except, in each case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Such Grantor agrees that should it hereafter (i) obtain an ownership interest in any item of Intellectual Property, (ii) obtain an exclusive license to any Copyrights, (iii) (either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee) file any application for the registration or issuance of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or in any political subdivision of any of the foregoing; or (iv) file a Statement of Use or an Amendment to Allege Use with respect to any “intent-to-use” Trademark application (the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), then the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto and such Grantor shall comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement, including by executing IP Security Agreements as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any United States After-Acquired Intellectual Property in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

(c) In the event that any material Intellectual Property owned by any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by another Person, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor shall promptly take all actions (as determined in its own reasonable business judgment) to stop such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation and protect its rights in such material Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, if so determined in its own reasonable business judgment, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages.

4.8. Vehicles. With respect to any Vehicle required to be pledged hereunder, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all applications for certificates of title or ownership indicating the Collateral Agent’s first priority

security interest in the Vehicle covered by such certificate, and any other necessary documentation, shall be filed in each office in each jurisdiction which the Collateral Agent shall deem advisable to perfect its security interests in such Vehicles.

4.9. Government Receivables. If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire or become the beneficiary of Receivables required to the pledged hereunder in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of which the account debtor is a Governmental Authority, such Grantor shall (i) within 30 days of the date that the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) of the Credit Agreement are required to be delivered (or a later date to which the Administrative Agent agrees), (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, shall take any necessary steps to perfect the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties therein, and (iii) make such Lien enforceable against the account debtor.

4.10. Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor (other than Immaterial Restricted Subsidiaries) shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) within 60 days of the Execution Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent) an executed deposit account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, providing for springing cash dominion upon an Event of Default, over all Deposit Accounts of the Grantors (other than Immaterial Restricted Subsidiaries) other than Excluded Accounts and (ii) within 30 days of the date that the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) of the Credit Agreement are required to be delivered (or a later date to which the Administrative Agent agrees), cause any new Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts) to be subject to such control agreement or another control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

5.1. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon request by the Collateral Agent, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.2.

5.2. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement. Any proceeds not applied shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral.

5.3. Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights

and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet 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. The Collateral Agent may store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured Party 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 or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Credit Agreement, shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable 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. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at

such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral 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 Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.2. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the relevant Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the relevant Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.

5.4. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables included in the Collateral; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables included in the Collateral, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) be deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.2, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall only be operative when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.5. Effect of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to 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 Grantor 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 Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt 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 the Issuer would agree to do so.

5.6. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES

6.1. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral 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 Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.3 or Section 5.4, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

(iv) in the case of any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; and

(v) (1) sign and endorse any assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (2) 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; (3) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (4) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and (5) 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 Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreements; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making written demand on such Grantor and such Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1 shall be payable by such Grantor to the extent that they would be payable by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.04(a) of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

6.2. Authorization of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable law, the Collateral Agent is authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements (including financing statements and continuations covering As-Extracted Collateral to the extent not covered by a Mortgage), and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable judgment, determines is necessary or advisable, including using the collateral description “all personal property”. 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. LIEN ABSOLUTE

7.1. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights, claims, and defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) (other than related to payment and performance) with respect to, in each case: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any renewal or extension of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than this Agreement or, solely with respect to the Borrowers, the Credit Agreement) or any Secured Hedging Agreement, (c) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, (d) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (e) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

7.2. Continuing Rights. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, such Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, such Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, such Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Secured Party against such Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

SECTION 8. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

8.1. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, 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 Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

8.2. No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession is to comply with Section 9-207 of the UCC. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.3. Appointment Pursuant to Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and 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 any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided, the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3. The rights, privileges, protections and immunities in the Credit Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent are hereby incorporated herein with respect to the Collateral Agent.

8.4. Hedge Bank. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or of any other Security Document, shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action under any Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements unless the Collateral Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.

SSECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. After Payment in Full, the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent.

9.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 7.

9.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced to any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the fees and expenses contemplated by Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor, jointly and severally with the other Grantors, agrees to indemnify, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities to the extent such Grantor would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) The agreements in this Section 9.4 shall survive Payment in Full and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements.

9.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, except through a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.

9.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, upon any amount becoming due and payable hereunder, without notice to such Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by such Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against

such Grantor, in any currency, arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not such Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party exercising any right of set-off shall notify the relevant Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

9.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The Issuer acknowledges that this Control Agreement constitutes written notification to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer agrees to promptly make all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to reflect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and, upon request by the Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of any or all of the Pledged Securities. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Agent has control over the Collateral.

SECTION 2. Collateral. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Grantor and the Collateral Agent that (i) the terms of any limited liability company interests or partnership interests included in the Collateral from time to time shall expressly provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of [__________], (ii) the Pledged Securities are uncertificated securities, (iii) the Issuer’s jurisdiction is the State of [____________] or such other state of which

the Issuer has notified the Collateral Agent promptly of a change thereto and(iv) Schedule 2 contains a true and complete description of the Pledged Securities as of the date hereof.

SECTION 4. Other Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Control Agreement and any other agreement governing the Pledged Securities or the Collateral, the provisions of this Control Agreement shall control.
