addition, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral, if any, for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

 (e) If, at any time, an issuer converts any Pledged Equity into a “security” within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, the relevant Pledgor will either (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer

(b) above. 
 (f) At such time as any Pledgor has or acquires any Security Collateral in which such Pledgor has any right,
title or interest and that is not a security (within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC), such Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Trustee may file a financing statement in the relevant jurisdiction. 
 (g) No Pledgor shall take or omit to take any action which would or could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially adversely
affecting or impairing the Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee and the holders of Parity Lien Obligations with respect to the Collateral. 
 Section 5. Maintaining the Pledged Account. From and after the date on which the Pledged Account is established in accordance with the terms of each Indenture, and for so long as any

Collateral in accordance with the requirements of each of the Indentures.

continuing. 
 (d) Amounts in the Pledged Account shall be invested in accordance with the terms of each of the Indentures.

 Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) Such Pledgor’s exact legal name, as defined in Section 9-503(a) of the UCC, is correctly set forth in
Schedule I hereto. Such Pledgor is located (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) and has its chief executive office in the states or jurisdictions set forth in Schedule I hereto. The information set forth in Schedule I
hereto with respect to such Pledgor is true and accurate in all respects. Such Pledgor has not changed its name, location, chief executive office, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number within the
last five years from those set forth in Schedule I hereto except as disclosed in Schedule III hereto. 
  

 7 








 (b) All Security Collateral consisting of certificated securities and
instruments has been delivered to the Collateral Trustee. 
 (c) Such Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner
of the Collateral of such Pledgor free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest created under this Agreement and Liens permitted in Section 10(a)(ii)(B). No effective financing statement or other
instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of such Collateral or listing such Pledgor or any trade name of such Pledgor as debtor with respect to such Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in
favor of the Collateral Trustee relating to the Secured Debt Documents or as permitted in Section 10(a)(ii)(B). 
 (d) The Initial Pledged Equity is not represented by any certificate or interest and does not constitute an “uncertificated security” as defined in Article 8 of the UCC and as used in Article 9 of the UCC. 
 (e) The Pledged Equity pledged by such Pledgor hereunder has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and
non-assessable. With respect to any Pledged Equity that is an “uncertificated security” (within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC), such Pledgor has used its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer thereof to agree in an
authenticated record with such Pledgor and the Collateral Trustee that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Collateral Trustee without further consent of such Pledgor. If such Pledgor is an issuer
of Pledged Equity, such Pledgor confirms that it has received notice of such security interest. The Pledged Debt pledged by such Pledgor hereunder has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the issuers thereof, is evidenced by one or more promissory notes (which notes have been delivered to the Collateral Trustee) and is not in default. 
 (f) The Initial Pledged Equity pledged by the Initial Pledgor (i) constitutes the percentage of the issued and
outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer thereof indicated on Schedule II hereto and (ii) represents all Equity Interests directly held by the Initial Pledgor in any Oncor Subsidiary. As of the date hereof, there is no outstanding
indebtedness owed to the Initial Pledgor by any Oncor Subsidiary. The Initial Pledgor has no Investments in any Oncor Subsidiary. 
 (g) All filings and other actions (including without limitation, actions necessary to obtain control of Collateral as provided in Section 9-106 of the UCC)

  

 8 








 
necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral of such Pledgor created under this Agreement have been duly made or taken and are in full force and effect, and this Agreement creates
in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Parity Lien Obligations a valid and, together with such filings and other actions, perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral of such Pledgor, securing the
payment of the Secured Obligations, subject to Liens permitted in Section 10(a)(ii)(B). 
 (h) No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for (i) the grant by such Pledgor of the security interest granted hereunder or
for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, (ii) the perfection or maintenance of the security interest created hereunder (including the first priority nature of such security interest), except for the filing
of financing and continuation statements under the UCC, which financing statements have been duly filed and are in full force and effect, and the actions described in Section 4 with respect to Security Collateral, which actions have been taken
and are in full force and effect or (iii) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of its voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except (A) as may be
required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Security Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally and (B) with respect to clause (iii) above, the limitations set forth in Section 3.3
of the Collateral Trust Agreement. 
 Section 7. Further Assurances. (a) Each Pledgor agrees that from time to
time, at the expense of such Pledgor, such Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Trustee
may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Pledgor hereunder or to enable the Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral of such Pledgor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor will promptly with respect to Collateral of such Pledgor: (i) if any such Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument in an aggregate principal amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or greater, deliver and pledge to the Collateral Trustee hereunder such note or instrument duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee; (ii) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as
the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Pledgor hereunder; (iii) deliver and pledge to the Collateral Trustee for benefit of the holders of
Parity Lien Obligations certificates representing Security Collateral that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by undated stock or bond powers executed in blank; (iv) take all action necessary to ensure that the Collateral Trustee
has control of Collateral consisting of investment property as provided in Section 9-106 of the UCC; and (v) deliver to the Collateral Trustee evidence that all other action that the Collateral Trustee may deem reasonably necessary or
desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest created by such Pledgor under this Agreement has been taken. 
  

 9 








 (b) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including, without limitation, one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover the Collateral described herein, in each case without the signature of such Pledgor.

 Section 8. Post-Closing Changes. Neither the Initial Pledgor nor any Additional Pledgor will, following the date
on which it becomes bound by this Agreement, change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Section 6(a) without first giving at least 15 days’
prior written notice to the Collateral Trustee and taking all action required by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Pledgor will hold and preserve its records
relating to the Collateral and will permit representatives of the Collateral Trustee at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Pledgor does not have an organizational
identification number on the day it becomes bound by this Agreement and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Trustee of such organizational identification number. 
 Section 9. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default and no event of default under any other Parity Lien
Debt shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting
and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Secured Debt Documents. 
 (ii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in
respect of the Security Collateral of such Pledgor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Secured Debt Documents; provided, however, that any and all dividends, interest and other
distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered
to the Collateral Trustee to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be forthwith
delivered to the Collateral Trustee as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 
 (iii) The Collateral Trustee will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose
of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
paragraph (ii) above. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or an event of default
under any other Parity Lien Debt: 
 (i) All rights of each Pledgor (x) to exercise or refrain from
exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Pledgor by the Collateral Trustee, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest
and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Trustee, which shall thereupon have
the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions. 
  

 10 








 (ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by
any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 9(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Collateral Trustee as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 
 Section 10.
Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other
dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Indentures and documents governing other Parity Lien Debt, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral
of such Pledgor except for (A) the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and (B) Liens permitted under Section 4.12(b) of each of the Indentures. 
 (b) EFIH agrees that it will pledge hereunder, promptly upon its receipt thereof (but in no event later than five Business Days after such

it will not enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person other than as permitted by the Indentures, the
Notes and the Collateral Trust Agreement. 
 Section 11. Collateral Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation: 
 (a) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, 
  

 11 








 (b) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments or
documents, in connection with clause (a) above, and 
 (c) to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral. 
 Section 12. Collateral Trustee May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral
Trustee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Pledgor under
Section 15. 
 Section 13. The Collateral Trustee’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the
Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the holders of Parity Lien Obligations’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any holder of Parity Lien Obligations has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its own property. 
 (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Trustee may from time
to time, when the Collateral Trustee deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the
Collateral Trustee so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Pledgor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this
Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the holders of Parity Lien Obligations, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Pledgor, (ii) such Subagent shall
automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Trustee,”
when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized
to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Trustee.

 Section 14. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing: 
 (a) Subject to Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(c) of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the
Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a holder of Parity Lien Obligations upon default under the UCC
(whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral
Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Pledgors
under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least 10 days’ notice to such Pledgor 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 Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee 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. 
 (b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee
and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Trustee, be held by the
Collateral Trustee as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 15) in whole or in part by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of
the holders of Parity Lien Obligations against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the manner set forth in Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. 
 (c) All payments received by any Pledgor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 
 (d) The Collateral Trustee is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this
Section 14, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral any information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral. 
 Section 15. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Pledgor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Collateral
Trustee and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement of this Agreement),

  

 13 








 
except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from an Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (b) Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Trustee the
amount of any and all expenses documented in customary detail, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents documented in customary detail, that the Collateral Trustee may incur in connection with
(i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Pledgor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
the Collateral Trustee or the other holders of Parity Lien Obligations hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 Section 16. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Pledgors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any other holder of Parity Lien Obligations to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 
 (b)
Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a pledge agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Pledge Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred
to as an “Additional Pledgor” and shall be and become a Pledgor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents to “Pledgor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional
Pledgor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Pledgor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I-III attached to
each Pledge Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I-III, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Trustee may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such
Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Pledge Agreement Supplement. 
 Section 17. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be either (i) in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or
otherwise delivered or (ii) by electronic mail (if electronic mail addresses are designated as provided below) confirmed immediately in writing, in the case of the Initial Pledgor or the Collateral Trustee, addressed to it at its address
specified in the Collateral Trust Agreement and, in the case of each Pledgor other than the Initial Pledgor, addressed to it at its address set forth on the signature page to the Pledge Agreement Supplement pursuant to which it became a party

or otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, telecopied, confirmed by telex answerback, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or

  

 14 








 
otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that notices and other communications to the Collateral Trustee shall not be effective until
received by the Collateral Trustee. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Pledge Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart thereof. 
 Section 18. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and (ii) October 15, 2019, (b) be binding upon each
Pledgor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the holders of Parity Lien Obligations and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

 Section 19. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral
of any Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debt Documents, the Collateral Trustee will, at such Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the
release of such item of Collateral from the security interest granted hereby in accordance with provisions of Section 3.2 and Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. 
 (b) Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the applicable Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination. 
 Section 20. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of each Pledgor
under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Pledgor under or in respect of the Parity Lien Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Pledgor to
enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against such Issuer or Pledgor or whether such Issuer or Pledgor is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and the
pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Parity Lien Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (b) 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 Obligations of any Issuer under or in respect of the Parity Lien Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Parity Lien Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  

 15 








 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any
other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; 
 (d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any
other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any Issuer under or in respect of the Parity Lien Documents or any other assets of any Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries; 
 (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Pledgor any information relating to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any Issuer or Pledgor now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Pledgor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured
Parties to disclose such information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any
other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Pledgor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or 
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any
representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Pledgor or any other Pledgor or a third party grantor of a security interest. 
 This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Issuer or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 Section 21. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 22. Limitation of Liability. (a) In no event shall
the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without
limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or
hardware) services. 
  

 16 








 (b) In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect,
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 Section 23. Governing Law. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Documents to which it is or is to be a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Pledgor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Pledgor irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
other Parity Lien Documents to which it is or is to be a party in any New York State or federal court. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
suit, action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE PARITY LIEN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

            (“            ”), as issuer (the “Issuer”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS: 
 (1) The
Grantor has granted the Secured Party a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in [identify uncertificated security] issued by the Issuer to the Grantor (the “Uncertificated Security”).

 (2) Terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the “N.Y.
Uniform Commercial Code”) are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. The Uncertificated Security. The Grantor and the Issuer represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Secured Party that: 
 (a) The Uncertificated Security is an uncertificated security. The Issuer is the issuer of the Uncertificated Security. The Grantor is the registered owner of the Uncertificated Security. 
 (b) The State of [            ] is, and will continue to be,
the Issuer’s jurisdiction for purposes of Section 8-110(d) of the [            ] Uniform Commercial Code so long as the Security Interest shall remain in effect.1 
 (c) The Grantor and the Issuer do not know of any claim to or interest in the Uncertificated Security, except for claims and interests of the parties referred to in this Agreement. 
 Section 2. Control by Secured Party. The Issuer will comply with all notifications it receives directing it to transfer the
Uncertificated Security (each an “Entitlement Order”) or other directions concerning the Uncertificated Security (including, without limitation, 
  

	1	If the UCC or equivalent laws in the Issuer’s jurisdiction allow such Issuer to specify its jurisdiction to be New York, then such specification should be made
here; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to take any action not contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement in connection with such specification. 








 
directions to distribute to the Secured Party proceeds of any such transfer or interest or dividends on the Uncertificated Security) originated by the Secured Party without further consent by the
Grantor. 
 Section 3. Grantor’s Rights in Uncertificated Security. (a) Until the Issuer receives a notice
from the Secured Party that the Secured Party will exercise exclusive control over the Uncertificated Security (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the Issuer may comply with Entitlement Orders or other directions concerning
the Uncertificated Security originated by the Grantor and may distribute to the Grantor all interest and regular cash dividends on the Uncertificated Security. 
 (b) If the Issuer receives from the Secured Party a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Issuer will cease distributing to the
Grantor all interest and dividends on the Uncertificated Security. 
 Section 4. Statements, Confirmations and Notices
of Adverse Claims. (a) The Issuer will send copies of all notices and other communications with respect to the Uncertificated Security simultaneously to the Grantor and the Secured Party. 
 (b) When the Issuer knows of any claim or interest in the Uncertificated Security other than the claims and interests of the
parties referred to in this Agreement, the Issuer will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Grantor of such claim or interest. 
 Section 5. The Issuer’s Responsibility. (a) The Issuer will not be liable to the Grantor or the Secured Party for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or with an Entitlement Order or other direction concerning
the Uncertificated Security originated by the Secured Party, even if the Grantor notifies the Issuer that the Secured Party is not legally entitled to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control or Entitlement Order or such other direction unless the
Issuer takes the action after it is served with an injunction, restraining order or other legal process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining
order or other legal process. 
 (b) This Agreement does not create any obligation of the Issuer except for those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Part 5 of Article 8 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code. In particular, the Issuer need not investigate whether the Secured Party is entitled under the Secured Party’s agreements with the Grantor to
give an Entitlement Order or other direction concerning the Uncertificated Security or a Notice of Exclusive Control. The Issuer may rely on notices and communications it believes given by the appropriate party. 
 Section 6. Indemnity. The Grantor will indemnify the Issuer, its officers, directors, employees and agents against claims,
liabilities and expenses arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), except to the extent the claims, liabilities or expenses are caused by the Issuer’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

inure to the benefit of the Grantor, the Secured Party and the Issuer and their respective successors and assigns.
