(e) Each Pledgor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows that any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright used in the conduct of its business may become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Pledgor’s ownership of such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(f) Each Pledgor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States, to maintain and pursue each application relating to material Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) used in the conduct of such Pledgor’s business and to maintain each

registration of such material Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and maintenance fees, and, if consistent with sound business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO PLEDGED INTERESTS

5.1 After-Acquired Equity Interests; Ownership.

(a) If any Pledgor shall, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, acquire Collateral consisting of additional capital stock or other Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral in any Person of the types described in the definition of the term “Pledged Interests,” the same shall be automatically deemed to be Pledged Interests hereunder, and to be pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 (subject, in the case of Pledged Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries to the limitation set forth in the proviso in Section 2.1(xviii)), and such Pledgor will promptly pledge and deposit the same with the Administrative Agent and deliver to the Administrative Agent any certificates therefor, together with undated stock powers or other necessary instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including UCC financing statements or appropriate amendments thereto), and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully completed and duly executed amendment to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit D (each, a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect thereof. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each such Pledge Amendment to this Agreement, and agrees that all such Collateral listed on any Pledge Amendment shall for all purposes be deemed Collateral hereunder and shall be subject to the provisions hereof; provided that the failure of any Pledgor to execute and deliver any Pledge Amendment with respect to any such additional Collateral as required hereinabove shall not impair the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect thereto.

(b) If any Pledged Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) included in the Collateral are “uncertificated securities” within the meaning of the UCC and that have a value in excess of $1,000,000, each applicable Pledgor will promptly notify the Administrative

Agent thereof and will promptly take and cause to be taken, and will (if the issuer of such uncertificated securities is a Person other than a Subsidiary of Xxxxxxxx) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer to take, all actions required under Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC and any other applicable law, to enable the Administrative Agent to acquire “control” of such uncertificated securities (within the meaning of such term under Section 8-106 (or its successor provision) of the UCC) and as may be otherwise necessary to perfect the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein.

5.2 Voting Rights. Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to its Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral (subject to its obligations under Section 5.1(a)), and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to each applicable Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request in writing to enable such Pledgor to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided, however, that no Pledgor will cast any vote, give any consent, waiver or ratification, or take or fail to take any action, in any manner that could reasonably be expected to violate any of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or have the effect of materially and adversely impairing the position or interests of the Secured Parties (except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement).

5.3 Dividends and Other Distributions. Except as provided otherwise herein, all interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts payable in cash in respect of the Pledged Interests may be paid to and retained by the Pledgors in a manner consistent with the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that all such interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts with respect to Pledged Interests constituting Collateral shall, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be paid to the Administrative Agent and retained by it as part of the Collateral (except to the extent applied upon receipt to the repayment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement). During the existence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled at all times to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral, (i) all interest, income, dividends, distributions or other amounts paid or payable in cash or other property in respect of any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral in connection with the dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the applicable issuer to the extent representing (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) an extraordinary, liquidating or other distribution in return of capital, (ii) all additional Pledged Interests or other securities or property (other than cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral in connection with any noncash dividend, distribution, return of capital, spin-off, stock split, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or interests or similar rearrangement, and (iii) without affecting any restrictions against such actions contained in the Credit Agreement, all additional Pledged Interests or other securities or property (including cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral in connection with any consolidation, merger, exchange of securities, liquidation or other reorganization. All interest, income, dividends, distributions or other amounts that are received by any Pledgor in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements). Any and all

money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (as hereinafter defined) upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2. The Administrative Agent shall, within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, repay to each applicable Pledgor all cash interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the provisions of this Section and that remain in such Collateral Account.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

6.1 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the Collateral all of its rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under any other Credit Document, by law, in equity or otherwise, including all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and shall be entitled in particular, but without limitation of the foregoing, to exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor agrees to be commercially reasonable:

(a) To notify any or all account debtors or obligors under any Accounts, Contracts or other Collateral of the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent created hereby and to direct all such Persons to make payments of all amounts due thereon or thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or to an account designated by the Administrative Agent; and in such instance and from and after such notice, all amounts and Proceeds (including wire transfers, checks and other Instruments) received by any Pledgor in respect of any Accounts, Contracts or other Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith deposited into such account or paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements or assignments), to be held as Collateral and applied to the Secured Obligations as provided herein; and by this provision, each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes and directs each Person who is or shall be a party to or liable for the performance of any Contract, upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to the effect that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to attorn to or otherwise recognize the Administrative Agent as owner under such Contract and to pay, observe and otherwise perform the obligations under such Contract to or for the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s designee as though the Administrative Agent or such designee were such Pledgor named therein, and to do so until otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent;

(b) To take possession of, receive, endorse, assign and deliver, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, all checks, notes, drafts and other Instruments relating to any Collateral, including receiving, opening and properly disposing of all mail addressed to any Pledgor concerning Accounts and other Collateral; to verify with account debtors or other contract parties the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or other Collateral, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor; to accelerate any indebtedness or other obligation constituting Collateral that may be accelerated in accordance with its terms; to take or bring all actions and suits deemed necessary or appropriate to effect collections and to enforce

payment of any Accounts or other Collateral; to settle, compromise or release in whole or in part any amounts owing on Accounts or other Collateral; and to extend the time of payment of any and all Accounts or other amounts owing under any Collateral and to make allowances and adjustments with respect thereto, all in the same manner and to the same extent as any Pledgor might have done;

(c) To notify any or all depository institutions with which any Deposit Accounts constituting Collateral are maintained and which Deposit Accounts are subject to Control in favor of the Administrative Agent to remit and transfer all monies, securities and other property on deposit in such Deposit Accounts or deposited or received for deposit thereafter to the Administrative Agent, for deposit in a Collateral Account or such other accounts as may be designated by the Administrative Agent, for application to the Secured Obligations as provided herein;

(d) To transfer to or register in its name or the name of any of its Administrative Agents or nominees all or any part of the Collateral, without notice to any Pledgor and with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the security interest created hereunder;

(e) To require any Pledgor to, and each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place designated by the Administrative Agent;

(f) To enter and remain upon the premises of any Pledgor and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with or without judicial process; to use the materials, services, books and records of any Pledgor for the purpose of liquidating or collecting the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise; and to remove the same to the premises of the Administrative Agent or any designated agent for such time as the Administrative Agent may desire, in order to effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral;

(g) To exercise (i) all voting, consensual and other rights and powers pertaining to the Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Administrative Agent), at any meeting of shareholders, partners, members or otherwise, and (ii) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares or interests, similar rearrangement or other similar fundamental change in the structure of the applicable issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Interests), and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of such Pledged Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of such Pledged Interests, all without liability except to account for any property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option or give any such consent, waiver or ratification and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; and for the foregoing purposes each

Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, upon request, all such proxies and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise such rights and powers; AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTATIVE AGENT AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH PLEDGOR, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS THAT CONSTITUE COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN EFFECT; and

(h) To sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels, on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral may be listed, at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory. If any of the Collateral is sold by the Administrative Agent upon credit or for future delivery, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Administrative Agent may resell such Collateral. In no event shall any Pledgor be credited with any part of the Proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by the Administrative Agent. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby expressly waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require the Administrative Agent to marshal any assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. No demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law, as referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Pledgor, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall be required under applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Pledgor at least ten days’ prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each public sale and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon each private sale, the Administrative Agent may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity, right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.

6.2 Application of Proceeds.

(a) All Proceeds collected by the Administrative Agent upon any sale, other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, proceeds from any sales of, collection from or other realization of any Foreign Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder shall be applied only to the Secured Obligations constituting Foreign Subsidiary Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(f) of the Credit Agreement, unless application thereto to the U.S. Obligations is permitted under and in accordance with Section 2.12(g) of the Credit Agreement. For purposes of applying amounts in accordance with this Section 6.2, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Permitted Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement with any Consolidated Entity for a determination (which such Secured Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Administrative Agent) of the outstanding Secured Obligations owed to such Secured Party under any such Permitted Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from any such Secured Party) to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Permitted Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Agreements, or Secured Obligations in respect thereof, are in existence between any Secured Party and any Consolidated Entity. If any Lender or Affiliate thereof that is a party to a Permitted Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement with any Consolidated Entity (the obligations of such Consolidated Entity under which are Secured Obligations) ceases to be a Lender or Affiliate thereof, such former Lender or Affiliate thereof shall nevertheless continue to be a Secured Party hereunder with respect to the Secured Obligations under such Permitted Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement.

(b) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Credit Document for interest on overdue principal or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and all other fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder.

(c) Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder by the Administrative Agent (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

6.3 Collateral Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and maintained, at its principal office or such other location or locations as it may establish from time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts (collectively, “Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the Collateral. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until

applied as herein provided. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over all funds deposited in any Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 6.2.

6.4 Grant of License. Each Pledgor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Pledgor) to use, license or sublicense any Patent Collateral, Trademark Collateral or Copyright Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license or sublicense by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Pledgor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

6.5 Private Sales.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be compelled, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to conduct any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral without registering or qualifying such Pledged Interests under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and/or any applicable state securities laws in effect at such time. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be made in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, including at prices and on terms that might be less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall not be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner solely because it was conducted as a private sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit its registration for public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and shall not have any responsibility or liability as a result of its election so not to conduct any such public sales or delay the sale of any Pledged Interests that constitute Collateral, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after such registration. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Interests may have been sold at any private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Interests to more than one offeree.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgors.

6.6 The Pledgors Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Pledgor shall remain liable under all Contracts to which it is a party included within the Collateral (including, without limitation, all Ownership Agreements) to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its obligations under any of such Contracts, and (iii) except as specifically provided for hereinbelow, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under any of such Contracts, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. The powers, rights and remedies conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest and privilege in such Contracts, as Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers, rights or remedies.

6.7 Waivers. Each Pledgor, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Administrative Agent to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein). In addition, each Pledgor agrees not to exercise any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent until the occurrence of the Termination Requirements.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 The Administrative Agent; Standard of Care. The Administrative Agent will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent shall act hereunder at the direction, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature, and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to any Pledgor (i) for any loss or damage sustained by such Pledgor, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, except to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or results from a claim brought by such Pledgor against the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as the case may be, for breach in bad faith of such Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if such Pledgor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.2 Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Pledgor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset included within the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of any such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees that it will do such further acts and things (including, without limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities required to be made by account creditors in order to enforce any Accounts in such state) and to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish, confirm and maintain the security interest and Lien provided for herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Administrative Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall be obligated or required to take any action outside of the United States to perfect, establish, confirm or maintain the security interest or Lien provided for herein or otherwise with respect to the performance of any obligations of any Pledgor hereunder, except with respect to the pledge of the Capital Stock of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

(c) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be in effect), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the actions described in clause (i) below, which may be taken by the Administrative Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred) to take any action and to execute any instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(i) to sign the name of such Pledgor on any financing statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected the security interest granted under this Agreement in the Collateral;

(ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to such Pledgor representing any interest, income, dividend, distribution or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same;

(iv) to obtain, maintain and adjust any property or casualty insurance required to be maintained by such Pledgor under Section 6.6 of the Credit Agreement and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent;

(v) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become Secured Obligations of the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately and without demand;

(vi) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and

(vii) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, all

other acts and things deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If any Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by the Administrative Agent (provided that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors under Section 8.1.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) To indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent required by Section 11.1(b) of the Credit Agreement; and

(b) To reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, limited to (x) a single primary counsel and (y) a single local counsel to the Administrative Agent in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), in each case in connection with (i) the engagement of appraisers, consultants, auditors or similar Persons by the Administrative Agent at any time to render opinions concerning the value of the Collateral, (ii) the creation, perfection and maintenance of the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, including, without limitation, Lien search, filing and recording fees, (iii) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (iv) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (v) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the Termination Requirements.

8.2 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or

privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor or any other Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

8.3 Enforcement. By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that this Agreement may be enforced only by the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions or with the consent of the Required Lenders as provided for in the Credit Agreement, and that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.

8.4 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any party hereto from, any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent and such of the Lenders as may be required under the provisions of the Credit Agreement to concur in the action then being taken, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

8.5 Continuing Security Interest; Term; Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Termination and Release; Survival. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations as the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of the Termination Requirements, (ii) be binding upon and enforceable against each Pledgor and its successors and assigns (provided, however, that no Pledgor may sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders or except pursuant to a transaction permitted under Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Upon any sale or other disposition by any Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted hereunder or under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other applicable Credit Document, the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement in and upon such Collateral shall be automatically released, and upon the satisfaction of all of the Termination Requirements, this Agreement and the Lien and security interest created hereby shall terminate (provided that the provisions of Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement); and in connection with any such release or termination, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the applicable Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents and instruments evidencing such release or termination as such Pledgor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the possession of the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any partial release of Collateral, such of the Collateral so being released as may be in its possession). All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Pledgor Accession.

8.6 Additional Pledgors. Each Pledgor recognizes that the provisions of the Credit Agreement require Persons that become Material U.S. Subsidiaries of Crawford, and that are not already parties hereto, to execute and deliver a Pledgor Accession, whereupon each such Person shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally a Pledgor hereunder on the date hereof, and agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of the same, or by reason of the Administrative Agent’s actions in effecting the same or in releasing any Pledgor hereunder, in each case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of such Pledgor or any other Pledgor.

8.7 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given to the parties in the manner and subject to the other notice provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement.

8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, but excluding all other choice of law and conflicts of law rules).

8.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

8.10 Construction. The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

8.11 Continuation of Security Interest. The Pledgors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that the security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect in accordance with the Existing Security Agreement and the Other Documents, as modified herein and in the other Loan Documents (as defined herein), and shall continue to secure, without interruption or impairment of any kind, the Obligations (as defined herein) as provided herein.

8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
