(a)Defense of Title.

Promptly execute and deliver at its expense all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor (including any and all reasonable action necessary to satisfy the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a first priority perfected security interest in all Pledged Collateral, subject to Liens arising by operation of law and Liens permitted by Section 8.01(u) of the Credit Agreement); (ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor in accordance

with this Pledge Agreement, the Organization Documents of the applicable issuer and applicable Law; and (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including and if requested by the Collateral Agent, delivering to the Collateral Agent irrevocable proxies substantially in the form of Exhibit 4(a) in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

(c)Amendments. Not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or enter into any agreement or allow to exist any restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor other than pursuant hereto or as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(d)Compliance with Securities Laws. File all reports and other information now or hereafter required to be filed by such Pledgor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other state, federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

(e)Issuance or Acquisition of Capital Stock. Not, without executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the Collateral Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, issue or acquire any Capital Stock consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a securities account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.;providedthat such Pledgor shall not be required to deliver any such agreement, document or instrument with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6(e) to the extent such Pledgor is required to deliver such agreement, document or instrument to the Convertible Notes Agent pursuant to the documentation governing the Convertible Notes.

Upon the discharge in full of the Convertible Notes in accordance with the provisions thereof, such Pledgor shall, to the extent not already delivered by the Convertible Notes Agent to the Collateral Agent, (i) deliver or cause the Convertible Notes Agent to deliver to the Collateral Agent any certificates, agreements, documents, instruments, options, rights or distributions described in Section 4(a), 4(b) or 6(e) or otherwise with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of the Convertible Notes Agent and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock power duly executed in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a) in respect thereof.

7.Advances and Performance by the Collateral Agent.On failure of any Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein and after the expiration of any applicable cure periods provided in Section 9.01(c) of the Credit

Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, may make for the protection of the security hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be repayable by the Pledgors on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 25 hereof) promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor including, subject to Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement, attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, on behalf of any Pledgor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgors of any default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Pledge Agreement or the other Credit Documents. The Collateral Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

8.Remedies.

(a)General Remedies.After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein or in the Credit Documents, or by law (including levy of attachment and garnishment), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Pledged Collateral.

(b)Sale of Pledged Collateral. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without limiting the generality of this Section 8, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, any holder of the Secured Obligations may in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to such Pledgor, in accordance with the notice

provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten days before the time of such sale. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor 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.

(c)Private Sale. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Pledgors recognize that the Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any of the securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral Agent may, therefore, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, determine to make one or more private sales of any such Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms that might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such Pledged Collateral that has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such Pledged Collateral.

(d)Retention of Pledged Collateral. To the extent permitted under applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

(e)Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency (subject to Section 25 hereof), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Pledgors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

9.Rights of the Collateral Agent.

(a)Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise and adjust, and give discharges and releases concerning the Pledged Collateral, all as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;

(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

(iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;

(iv) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Pledged Collateral;

(v) to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;

(vi) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral;

(vii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Pledged Collateral;

(viii) to authorize or to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

(ix) to exchange any of the Pledged Collateral or other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary;

(x) to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or one or more of the holders of the Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 8 hereof; and

(xi) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary in connection with the Pledged Collateral.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

(b)Assignment by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Pledged Collateral and any portion thereof in connection with its resignation as Collateral Agent pursuant to Article 10 of the Credit Agreement, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

(c)The Collateral Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while being held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty

or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Pledgors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.

(d)Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights solely pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and

(ii) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and following delivery to such Pledgor by the Collateral Agent of written notice of its intent to exercise such rights, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

(e)Dividend Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof, each Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Pledged Collateral addressed herein) or interest paid solely in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent they are allowed under the Credit Agreement.

(ii) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(A) all rights of a Pledgor to receive the dividends and interest payments that it would otherwise be authorized to

receive and retain pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments; and

(B) all dividends and interest payments that are received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of clause (A) of this subsection shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.;provided that such Pledgor shall not be required to pay over any dividends or interest payments with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this clause (ii)(B) of this subsection to the extent such Pledgor is required to pay over such dividends or interest payments to the Convertible Notes Agent pursuant to the documentation governing the Convertible Notes.

10.Exercise of Rights by Required Lenders. In the event there is no Collateral Agent, the rights of the Collateral Agent may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

11.Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Pledged Collateral, when received by the Collateral Agent or any of the holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, and each Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

12.Release of Pledged Collateral. Upon request, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to the applicable Pledgor (at the Pledgor’s expense) appropriate release documentation and any certificates or other documents delivered to the Collateral Agent by such Pledgor to the extent the release of Pledged Collateral is permitted under, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents;providedthat any such release, or the substitution of any of the Pledged Collateral for other Collateral, will not alter, vary or diminish in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge

Agreement as to any and all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on any and all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted.

13.Costs and Expenses. At all times hereafter, whether or not upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual disbursements) of the Collateral Agent and the other holders of the Secured Obligations to the extent required under Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.

14.Continuing Agreement.

(a) This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect. This Pledge Agreement shall be terminated as provided in the Credit Agreement and, in any such case, the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Pledgors, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder, deliver to the pertinent Pledgor any certificates or other documents delivered to the Collateral Agent by such Pledgor and execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Pledgors evidencing such termination.

(b) This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made;providedthat in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

15.Amendments and Waivers. This Pledge Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except by written agreement of (a) the Pledgors and (b) the Collateral Agent.

16.Successors in Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns;provided,however, that none of the Pledgors may

assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or as otherwise expressly provided under the Credit Agreement.

17.Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Pledge Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

18.Counterparts.

21.Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

22.Entirety. This Pledge Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

23.Survival. All representations and warranties of the Pledgors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the delivery of the Notes and the extension of credit thereunder or in connection therewith.

24.Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Pledged Collateral (including real and other personal property owned by a Pledgor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent shall have the right to proceed (to the extent not prohibited by the applicable guarantee, endorsement, security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage or other collateral document) against such other property, guarantee or endorsement after the occurrence and during the

continuation of an Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Collateral Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Pledge Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents.

(a) Subject to subsection (c) of this Section 24, each of the Pledgors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the holders of the Secured Obligations, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Pledgors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Pledgors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Subject to subsection (c) of this Section 24, each of the Pledgors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Pledgors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this Pledge Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Secured Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Pledgors without preferences or distinction among them.

26.Foreign Subsidiaries and Property of Foreign Subsidiaries.For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Subsidiary shall at any time be liable for any portion of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the principal of the Loans or any interest thereon or fees payable with respect thereto (and the Credit Parties are solely liable for such Obligations), and no Property owned by any Foreign Subsidiary shall at any time constitute Collateral.
