(a) The Borrower hereby grants as collateral security for the payment, performance and
satisfaction of all of the Obligations, and Advisors hereby grants as collateral security

defined in the Guaranty) (all of the foregoing obligations and liabilities are referred to
collectively as the “Secured Obligations”), to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties a first priority security interest in all of the following
items of property in which it now has or may at any time hereafter acquire an interest or
the power to transfer rights therein, and wheresoever located:




(i) all of its now existing or hereafter created or acquired Equity Interests
in each Subsidiary that owns or leases a Borrowing Base Property (collectively, the
“Pledged Interests”), including without limitation the Pledged Interests
more particularly described on Schedule I hereto (such Subsidiaries,
together with all other Subsidiaries whose Equity Interests may be required pursuant
to the Loan Documents to be subject to this Pledge Agreement from time to time, are
referred to collectively as the “Pledged Subsidiaries”);




(ii) all money, securities, security entitlements and other investment
property, dividends, rights, general intangibles and other property at any time and
from time to time (x) declared or distributed in respect of or in exchange for or on
conversion of any Pledged Interest, or (y) by its or their terms exchangeable or
exercisable for or convertible into any Pledged Interest;




(iii) all other property of whatever character or description, including money,
securities, security entitlements and other investment property, and general
intangibles hereafter delivered to the Administrative Agent in substitution for or
as an addition to any of the foregoing;




(iv) all securities accounts to which any or all of the foregoing or any
proceeds thereof may at any time be credited and all certificates and instruments
representing or evidencing any of the foregoing or any proceeds thereof; and




(v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.




All such Pledged Interests, certificates, instruments, cash, securities, interests,
dividends, rights and other property referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of this
Section 2 are herein collectively referred to as the “Collateral.”




(b) Each Pledgor agrees to deliver all certificates, instruments or other documents
representing any Collateral to the Administrative Agent at such location as the
Administrative Agent shall from time to time designate by written notice pursuant to
Section 23 for its custody at all times until termination of this Pledge Agreement,
together with such instruments of assignment and transfer as requested by the Administrative
Agent.




(c) Each Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered
by other Persons (or, in the case of financing statements, to authorize the filing thereof
without signature), at Pledgor’s expense, all share certificates, documents, instruments,
agreements, financing statements (and amendments thereto and continuations thereof),
assignments, control agreements, or other writings as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request from time to time to carry out the terms of this Pledge Agreement or to
protect or enforce the Administrative Agent’s Lien and security interest in the Collateral
hereunder granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
further agrees to do and cause to be done upon the Administrative Agent’s request, at
Pledgor’s expense, all things reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be
necessary or advisable to perfect and keep in full force
and effect the Lien in the Collateral hereunder granted to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, including the prompt payment of all out-of-pocket fees
and expenses incurred in connection with any filings made to perfect or continue the Lien
and security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.


 


2









 






(d) All filing fees, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including all fees and
expenses of counsel (collectively, “Attorneys’ Costs”), incurred or paid by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by
this Pledge Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become a part of the Secured
Obligations secured hereunder and shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties by the Pledgor in respect of which the same was incurred immediately
upon demand therefor, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and
remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until
paid in full at the Default Rate.




(e) Each Pledgor agrees to register and cause to be registered the interest of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral on its own
books and records and the registration books of each of the Pledged Subsidiaries.



3. Status of Pledged Interests. Each Pledgor hereby represents, warrants and
covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to
itself and the Collateral as to which it has or acquires any interest, that:




(a) All of the Pledged Interests are, as of the date of this Pledge Agreement, and
shall at all times thereafter be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable and constitute all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests owned by
such Pledgor in each such Pledged Subsidiary, and are accurately described on Schedule
I.




(b) Such Pledgor is as of the date of this Pledge Agreement and shall at all times
thereafter (subject to Dispositions permitted under the Credit Agreement) be the sole
registered and record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests, free and clear of all
(i) Liens, charges, equities, options, hypothecations, and encumbrances, and (ii)
restrictions on pledge or transfer, including transfer of voting rights, that would prohibit
or interfere with the pledge of the Pledged Interests hereunder or the transfer or
disposition of such Pledged Interests by the Administrative Agent pursuant to its rights
hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or applicable law (other than applicable
restrictions pursuant to federal and state securities laws). Without limiting the
foregoing, the Pledged Interests are not and will not be subject to any voting trust,
shareholders agreement, right of first refusal, voting proxy, power of attorney or other
similar arrangement (other than the rights hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent).


 


3









 






(c) At no time shall any Pledged Interests (i) be held or maintained in the form of a
security entitlement or credited to any securities account and (ii) which constitute a
“security” (or as to which the related Pledged Subsidiary has elected to have treated as a
“security”) under Article 8 of the UCC (including, for the purposes of this Section, the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction) be
maintained in the form of uncertificated securities. With respect to Pledged Interests
that are “securities” under the UCC, or as to which the issuer has elected at any time to
have such interests treated as “securities” under the UCC, such Pledged Interests are, and
shall at all times be, represented by the share certificates listed on Schedule I
hereto, which share certificates, with stock powers duly executed in blank by the Pledgor,
have been delivered to the Administrative Agent or are being delivered to the Administrative
Agent simultaneously herewith or, in the case of Additional Interests as defined in
Section 22, shall be delivered pursuant to Section 22. In addition, with
respect to all Pledged Interests, including Pledged Interests that are not “securities”
under the UCC and as to which the applicable Pledged Subsidiary has not elected to have such
interests treated as “securities” under the UCC, the Pledgor has as of the date of this
Pledge Agreement authorized the Administrative Agent (or has previously authorized the
Administrative Agent or, in case of Additional Interests shall authorize pursuant to
Section 22) to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (or appropriate
amendments thereto) duly authorized by the Pledgor and naming the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties as “secured party,” in form and substance sufficient in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to be filed in all UCC filing offices and
in all jurisdictions in which filing is necessary or advisable to perfect in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Lien on such Pledged
Interests.




(d) It has full corporate power, legal right and lawful authority to execute this
Pledge Agreement (and any Pledge Agreement Supplement applicable to it) and to pledge,
assign and transfer its Pledged Interests in the manner and form hereof.




(e) The pledge, assignment and delivery of its Pledged Interests (along with undated
stock powers executed in blank (in the case of Pledged interests that are certificated, if
any) and other agreements referred to in Section 3(c) hereof) to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Pledge Agreement creates or
continues, as applicable, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such
Pledged Interests in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, assuming, (i) in the case of
Pledged Interests which constitute certificated “securities” under the UCC (including, for
the purposes of this Section, the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction), if any, continuous and uninterrupted possession by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the case of all other Pledged Interests, the proper filing
of financing statements. The Pledgor will at its own cost and expense defend the Secured
Parties’ right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims and
demands of all persons whomsoever.




(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein pursuant to a Disposition permitted
under the Credit Agreement, none of the Pledged Interests (nor any interest therein or
thereto) shall be sold, transferred or assigned without the Administrative Agent’s prior
written consent, which may be withheld for any reason.


 


4









 






(g) It shall at all times cause the Pledged Interests of such Pledgor that constitute
“securities” (or as to which the issuer elects to have treated as “securities”)
under the UCC to be represented by the certificates now and hereafter delivered to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2, 3 and 22 hereof
and it shall cause each of the Pledged Subsidiaries as to which it is the Pledgor not to
issue any Equity Interests, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable
for, Equity Interests, at any time during the term of this Pledge Agreement unless the
Pledged Interests of such Pledged Subsidiary are issued solely to either (y) such Pledgor
who shall immediately comply with Sections 3 and 22 hereof with respect to
such property or (z) the Borrower or a Guarantor who shall immediately pledge such
additional Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties pursuant to Section 22 hereof or pursuant to a separate pledge agreement, as
applicable, on substantially identical terms as are contained herein and deliver or cause to
be delivered the appropriate documents described in Section 3(c) hereof to the
Administrative Agent and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary in order to perfect a first priority security interest in such Equity Interests.




(h) The exact legal name and address, type of Person, jurisdiction of formation,
jurisdiction of formation identification number (if any), and location of the chief
executive office of such Pledgor are as specified on Schedule 5A.03 to the Credit
Agreement. No Pledgor shall change its name, jurisdiction of formation (whether by
reincorporation, merger or otherwise), or the location of its chief executive office, except
upon giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
and taking or causing to be taken all such action at such Pledgor’s expense as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of
the Lien of the Administrative Agent in Collateral.




4. Preservation and Protection of Collateral.




(a) The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the
collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise, beyond the use of
reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof while any Collateral is in its
possession.




(b) Each Pledgor agrees to pay when due all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments
against the Collateral in which it has an interest, unless being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that used in
preparing the Audited Financial Statements and evidenced to the satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent and provided that all enforcement proceedings in the nature of levy or
foreclosure are effectively stayed. Upon the failure of any Pledgor to so pay or contest
such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments, or upon the failure of any Pledgor to pay any
amount pursuant to Section 2(c), the Administrative Agent at its option may pay or
contest any of them (the Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the
legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or
assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest. All
sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including Attorneys’ Costs, court costs,
expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable
Pledgor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional
Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand
(in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear
interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.


 


5









 






(c) Each Pledgor hereby (i) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to file
(with, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the signature of the Pledgor
appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and continuations and
copies thereof) showing such Pledgor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing
offices as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or
advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated, and
(ii) irrevocably ratifies and acknowledges all such actions taken by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent prior to the date of this Pledge Agreement.



5. Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent is given full power and authority to sell, assign, deliver or collect the
whole or any part of the Collateral, or any substitute therefor or any addition thereto, in one or
more sales, with or without any previous demands or demand of performance or, to the extent
permitted by law, notice or advertisement, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect; and
any such sale may be made either at public or private sale, with at least ten (10) days’ prior
notice to the Pledgors of the time and place of such public or private sale, at the Administrative
Agent’s place of business or elsewhere, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, at
such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem fair; and the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and hold the
same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Pledgor or right of redemption.
Demands of performance, advertisements and presence of property and sale and notice of sale are
hereby waived to the extent permissible by law. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an
auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor recognizes that the
Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of the Collateral by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and applicable state law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale
by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities, and that
as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Administrative Agent may be compelled
(i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any
proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount of Collateral sold to any Person or group.
Each Pledgor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms
less favorable to such Pledgor than if such Collateral was sold either at public sales or at
private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Administrative Agent has
no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit
any Pledged Subsidiary to register or otherwise qualify the Collateral, even if such Pledged
Subsidiary would agree to register or otherwise qualify such Collateral for public sale under the
Securities Act or applicable state law. Each Pledgor further agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of
the Collateral shall be deemed to be
dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that a
ready market may not exist for the Pledged Interests if they are not traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system and agrees and acknowledges that in
such event the Pledged Interests may be sold for an amount less than a pro rata share of the fair
market value of the Pledged Subsidiary’s assets minus its liabilities. In addition to the
foregoing, the Secured Parties may exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available
under the Loan Documents, at law (including without limitation the UCC) or in equity.


 


6









 





6. Proceeds of Sale. The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection,
liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses
(including all Attorneys’ Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale,
selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured
Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. Each
Pledgor shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any
deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the
Collateral.



7. Presentments, Demands and Notices. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any
duty or obligation whatsoever to make or give any presentments, demands for performances, notices
of nonperformance, protests, notice of protest or notice of dishonor in connection with any
obligations held thereby as collateral, or in connection with any obligations which constitute in
whole or in part the Secured Obligations secured hereunder.



8. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the
Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Pledge Agreement
and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may
exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and
power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made
payable to any Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment, principal payment or other
distribution payable or distributable in respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to give
full discharge for the same.



9. Reinstatement. The granting of a security interest in the Collateral and the other
provisions hereof 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 is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of
a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of any Pledgor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations
and the termination or expiration of this Pledge Agreement in any manner, including but not limited
to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.


 


7









 





10. Waiver by the Pledgors. Until such time as this Pledge Agreement shall terminate
in accordance with Section 21 hereof, each Pledgor waives to the extent permitted by
applicable law (a) any right to require any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured
Obligations to (i) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan
Party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other collateral for the Secured
Obligations, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in its power, (b) any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d)
any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured
Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right
to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Pledgor authorizes each Secured Party and each
other obligee of the Secured Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law)
or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to
time to: (x) take and hold security, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of
such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the
Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (y) apply such
Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party
or obligee in its discretion may determine.



The Administrative Agent may at any time return (without representation, recourse or warranty)
any physical Collateral that has previously been delivered or any part thereof to a Pledgor and the
receipt thereof by such Pledgor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so
returned, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or
responsibility therefor.




11. Dividends and Voting Rights.




(a) All dividends and other distributions with respect to any of the Pledged Interests
shall be subject to the pledge hereunder, provided, however, that cash
dividends paid to a Pledgor as record owner of the Pledged Interests, to the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement to be declared and paid, may be retained by such Pledgor
so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, free from any Liens
hereunder.




(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
registration of the Collateral in the name of a Pledgor as record and beneficial owner shall
not be changed and such Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights
and powers pertaining to the Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of
the Loan Documents.




(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all rights
of the Pledgors to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions upon the
Collateral pursuant to subsection (a) above shall cease and shall thereupon be vested in the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and each Pledgor shall promptly
deliver, or shall cause to be promptly delivered, all such cash dividends and other
distributions with respect to the Pledged Interests to the Administrative Agent (together,
if the Administrative Agent shall request, with the documents described in
Sections 2(c) and 3(c) hereof or other negotiable documents or
instruments so distributed) to be held by it hereunder or, at the option of the
Administrative Agent, to be applied to the Secured Obligations. Pending delivery to the
Administrative Agent of such property, each Pledgor shall keep such property segregated from
its other property and shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Parties.


 


8









 






(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the
option of the Administrative Agent, all rights of each of the Pledgors to exercise the
voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to
subsection (b) above shall cease and the Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not
be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or
exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such
Collateral, and to that end each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its
proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a holder of
the Pledged Interests with respect to such Pledged Interests hereunder upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable until the Facility Termination Date, and each Pledgor hereby agrees to
provide such further proxies as the Administrative Agent may request; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time
refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or
consensual rights or such proxy.



12. Continued Powers. Until such time as this Pledge Agreement shall terminate in
accordance with Section 21 hereof, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies
granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, continue to exist and may be exercised by the Administrative
Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any
part of the liability of any Pledgor may have ceased.



13. Other Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement shall be in addition to all rights,
powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any Loan Document
or by virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forbearance or failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy
of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is
specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.



14. Anti-Marshaling Provisions. The right is hereby given by each Pledgor to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or
in part) of all or any part of the Collateral agreeable to the Administrative Agent without notice
to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors,
which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security
interests in the remaining Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Pledgor from
personal liability for the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the existence of any other
security interest in the Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any
or all of the Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Pledge Agreement.
Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with
the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein or in any Loan
Document.

15. Entire Agreement. This Pledge Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and
other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and
understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except
as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or
usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof and thereof. Neither this Pledge
Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented,
discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the
Credit Agreement.



16. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees at its own expense to do such further
acts and things, and to execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered as may be
necessary or advisable to give effect thereto, such additional conveyances, assignments, financing
statements, control agreements, documents, certificates, stock powers, agreements and instruments,
as the Administrative Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the
administration or enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or related to the Collateral or any part
thereof or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Administrative Agent its rights, powers
and remedies for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder. Each Pledgor hereby
consents and agrees that the Pledged Subsidiaries and all other Persons shall be entitled to accept
the provisions hereof as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights, privileges, and remedies hereunder with respect to the
Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter
given by any Pledgor or any other Person to any of such Pledged Subsidiaries or other Persons.



17. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Pledge Agreement, and the terms, covenants
and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor shall be permitted
to assign this Pledge Agreement or any interest herein or in the Collateral, or any part thereof or
interest therein, or otherwise pledge, encumber or grant any option with respect to the Collateral,
or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral under
this Pledge Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this
Section 17, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons
participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement
(to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or
participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject
however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article X
thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 11.06 thereof (concerning
assignments and participations). All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the
Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees
from time to time of the Secured Obligations.


 


10









 





18. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. All obligations
of any Loan Party under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to which
any Lender or its Affiliates are a party shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations, and, by its
acceptance of the benefits afforded hereunder, each Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to any
such Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements shall be deemed to be a Secured
Party hereunder with respect to such Secured Obligations; provided, however, that
such obligations shall cease to be Secured Obligations at such time, prior to the Facility
Termination Date, as such Person (or Affiliate of such Person) shall cease to be a “Lender” under
the Credit Agreement.



No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Pledge
Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any
action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of
any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent
expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Pledge
Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment
of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations
arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the
Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting
documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the
case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of
this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the
actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or
may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be
entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article X of the Credit
Agreement.



19. Severability. The provisions of this Pledge Agreement are independent of and
separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof, but this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.



20. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be
necessary in making proof of this Pledge Agreement to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart executed by the Pledgor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions of this Section 20, the provisions of Section 11.10 of the
Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement.

21. Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, this Pledge
Agreement, and all obligations of the Pledgors hereunder (excluding those obligations and
liabilities that expressly survive such termination), shall terminate without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facility Termination Date. Upon such
termination of this Pledge Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the
Pledgors, promptly deliver to the Pledgors any certificates evidencing its shares of Pledged
Interests (and any other property received as a dividend or distribution or otherwise in respect of
such Pledged Interests to the extent then held by the Administrative Agent as additional Collateral
hereunder), together with any cash then constituting the Collateral not then sold or otherwise
disposed of in accordance with the provisions hereof, and take such further actions at the request
of the Pledgors as may be necessary to effect the same (including authorizing the Pledgors to file
appropriate financing statement terminations at that time).



22. Additional Interests. If any Pledgor shall at any time acquire or hold any
additional Pledged Interests, including any Equity Interests issued by any Subsidiary not listed on
Schedule I hereto which are required to be subject to a Lien pursuant to a Pledge Agreement
by the terms hereof or of any provision of the Credit Agreement (any such shares being referred to
herein as the “Additional Interests”), such Pledgor shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (i) a Pledge Agreement Supplement in the form of
Exhibit A hereto with respect to such Additional Interests duly completed and executed by
such Pledgor, and (ii) any other document required in connection with such Additional Interests as
described in Section 3(c). Each Pledgor shall comply with the requirements of this
Section 22 concurrently with the acquisition of any such Additional Interests;
provided, however, that the failure to comply with the provisions of this
Section 22 shall not impair the Lien on Additional Interests conferred hereunder.



23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with
respect to any Pledgor, at the address of the Borrower indicated in Schedule 11.02 of the
Credit Agreement, and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, at the
Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. All
such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as
provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of
notices and modifications of addresses thereunder.



24. Release. At any time that the Administrative Agent releases a Borrowing Base
Property from the Borrowing Base upon satisfaction of the requirements for such release under
Section 5A.04(d) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall release all of its
liens hereunder on the Pledged Interests in the Pledged Subsidiary that owns or leases such
Borrowing Base Property (provided that such Pledged Subsidiary does not then own any other
Borrowing Base Property that is subject to the Borrowing Base), and upon such release shall
promptly (i) return all share certificates and stock powers, if any, held by the Administrative
Agent and relating to such released Pledged Interests, and (ii) take such further actions as may be
reasonably necessary to effect such release (including the filing of Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement amendments relating to such released Pledged Interests).



25. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section
1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement and are hereby
incorporated
by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery
of documents and any credit extensions referred to herein or secured hereby.

ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN

EXHIBIT A




PLEDGE AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT




THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT dated as of                     ,
20_____ 
(this “Pledge Agreement
Supplement”), is made by                                         , a                      (the “Pledgor”), in
favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Pledge Agreement referenced below; all
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in such
Pledge Agreement).



RECITALS:




A. The Pledgor is party to that certain Securities Pledge Agreement dated as of August 2, 2011
(as in effect on the date hereof, the “Pledge Agreement”), among COGDELL SPENCER LP, a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), certain of its Subsidiaries and the
Administrative Agent.



B. The Pledgor has acquired rights in the Pledged Interests listed on Annex A to this
Supplement (the “Additional Interests”) and desires to pledge, and evidence its prior
pledge, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all of the Additional
Interests in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.



In order to induce the Secured Parties to from time to time make and maintain extensions of
credit under the Credit Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements,
the Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:



1. Affirmations. The Pledgor hereby reaffirms and acknowledges the pledge and collateral
assignment to, and the grant of security interest in, the Additional Interests contained in the
Pledge Agreement and pledges and collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, and grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties a first priority lien and security interest in, the Additional Interests and all of the
following:




(a) all money, securities, security entitlements and other investment property,
dividends, rights, general intangibles and other property at any time and from time to time
(x) declared or distributed in respect of or in exchange for or on conversion of any or all
of the Additional Interests or (y) by its or their terms exchangeable or exercisable for or
convertible into any Additional Interest or other Pledged Interest;




(b) all other property of whatever character or description, including money,
securities, security entitlements and other investment property, and general intangibles
hereafter delivered to the Administrative Agent in substitution for or as an addition to any
of the foregoing;


 


 









 






(c) all securities accounts to which may at any time be credited any or all of the
foregoing or any proceeds thereof and all certificates and instruments representing or
evidencing any of the foregoing or any proceeds thereof; and




(d) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.



The Pledgor hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms by its execution of this Supplement that the
Additional Interests constitute “Pledged Interests” under and are subject to the Pledge Agreement,
and the items of property referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above (the “Additional
Collateral”) shall collectively constitute “Collateral” under and are subject to the Pledge
Agreement. Each of the representations and warranties with respect to Pledged Interests and
Collateral contained in the Pledge Agreement is hereby made by the Pledgor with respect to the
Additional Interests and the Additional Collateral, respectively. The Pledgor further represents
and warrants that Annex A attached to this Supplement contains a true, correct and complete
description of the Additional Interests, and that all other documents required to be furnished to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3(c) of the Pledge Agreement in connection
with the Additional Collateral have been delivered or are being delivered simultaneously herewith
to the Administrative Agent. The Pledgor further acknowledges that Schedule I to the
Pledge Agreement shall be deemed, as to it, to be supplemented as of the date hereof to include the
Additional Interests as described on Annex A to this Supplement.



2. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement Supplement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall
not be necessary in making proof of this Pledge Agreement Supplement to produce or account for more
than one such counterpart executed by the Pledgor. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2, the provisions of Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be
applicable to this Pledge Agreement.



3. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The provisions of Section 26
of the Pledge Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pledgor has caused this Supplement to be duly executed by its
authorized officer as of the day and year first above written.
