   As Representatives of the Several Purchasers (the “Representatives”),

c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC

Eleven Madison Avenue,

New York, N.Y. 10010-3629

Goldman, Sachs & Co.

200 West Street,

New York, N.Y. 10282-2198

Dear Sirs:

     Harbinger Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (collectively, the “Purchasers”), upon
the terms set forth in a purchase agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”),
U.S.$350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2015
(the “Offered Securities”). The Offered Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated
as of November 15, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association (the “Trustee”). As an inducement to the Purchasers, the Company agrees with the
Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Offered Securities (including, without
limitation, the Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange
Securities (as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows:

     1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not permitted by applicable law, the Company shall, at
its own cost, prepare and, not later than 150 days (or if the 150th day is not a business day, the
first business day thereafter) after the date of original issue of the Offered Securities (the
“Issue Date”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration
statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered
Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d)
hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the
Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Offered
Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange Securities”) of the
Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Offered Securities
(except for the removal of transfer restrictions relating to the Offered Securities and the
provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under
the Securities Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 270 days
(or if the 270th day is

 

 

not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date, an “effectiveness
deadline”) of the Offered Securities and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required
by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders
(such period being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”).

     If the Company commences the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company (i) will be entitled to
close the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after such commencement provided that the Company has
accepted all the Offered Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of
the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the
Registered Exchange Offer no later than 40 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the
date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (or if the 40th day
is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) (such 40th day (or first business day
thereafter) being the “Consummation Deadline”).

     Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such
Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities electing to
exchange the Offered Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an
affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities
in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business, is not a broker-dealer tendering Offered
Securities acquired directly from the Company for its own account and is not engaged in, and does
not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in
the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the
Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities
from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and
without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States.

     The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each
Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Offered Securities, acquired for its own
account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information
set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures”
section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of
Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities
received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) a Purchaser
that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Offered Securities constituting
any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information
required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in
connection with such sale.

     The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in
order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply
with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in
the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an
Exchanging Dealer or a Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which
all Exchanging Dealers and the Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless
such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such
prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, available to any broker-dealer for use in
connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after
the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.

2

 

     If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Purchaser holds Offered Securities
acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery
of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to
such Purchaser upon the written request of such Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for
the Offered Securities held by such Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the
Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence
of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states
of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6
hereof) to the Offered Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Offered Securities, the
Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the
“Securities”.

     In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

     (a) mail or otherwise furnish to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of
transmittal and related documents;

     (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if
required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;

     (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an
address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee;

     (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of
business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer
shall remain open; and

     (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws in all material respects.

     As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:

     (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange;

     (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Offered Securities so accepted
for exchange; and

     (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the
Offered Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be,
equal in principal amount to the Offered Securities of such Holder so accepted for
exchange.

     The Indenture provides that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer
restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities will vote and consent together
on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent
as a class separate from one another on any matter.

     Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment
date on

3

 

which interest was paid on the Offered Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no
interest has been paid on the Offered Securities, from the date of original issue of the Offered
Securities.

     Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to
the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange
Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such
Holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding
with any person to participate in the distribution of the Offered Securities or the Exchange
Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or a broker-dealer tendering Offered
Securities acquired directly from the Company for its own account and (iv) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Offered
Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities
and that it acknowledges its obligations to deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and
any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and
any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations
thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered
Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 310 days after the Issue Date (or if the 310th day is not a business
day, the first business day thereafter), (iii) any Purchaser so requests with respect to the
Offered Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) held by it that are not eligible to be
exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer)
is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or
any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer
does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange and, in each
case, such Holder so requests, the Company shall take the following actions:

     (a) The Company shall, at its cost, within 60 days after so required or requested
pursuant to this Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes
effective automatically upon filing) no later than 150 days after such requirement or
request pursuant to this Section 2 (such 150th day (or first business day
thereafter), an “effectiveness deadline”) a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration
Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration
Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale
of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) by the Holders
thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the
Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf
Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than a Purchaser) shall be
entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement
unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such Holder; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be
required to file the Shelf Registration

4

 

Statement or have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective prior to the
applicable deadlines for the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

     (b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which
all Offered Securities registered thereunder are disposed of in accordance therewith and
(ii) the time when the Offered Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are
no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any
successor rule thereof (“Rule 144”)) or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation
(the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during
the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of
Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that
period, unless such action is required by applicable law.

     (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, as of its respective effective date, (i) to comply in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

     3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by
Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply:

     (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with
the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each
supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that a Purchaser
(with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document,
when so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Purchaser reasonably may propose
in a timely manner; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover,
in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the
Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the
prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the
information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to
the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by a Purchaser, include the information
required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in
the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include
within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section
entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, which shall
contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the
Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is
the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in
the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or
policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions
or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchasers based upon advice of counsel
(which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the
Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include in the
prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Commission
Rule 430B(b), in a prospectus supplement that

5

 

becomes a part thereof pursuant to Commission Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any Holder
pursuant to Section 3(d) and (f), the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling security holders; provided that
such Holders have provided the Company with such information in a timely manner prior to
the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus supplement, as applicable.

     (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchasers, the Holders of the
Securities and any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior
written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange
Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an
instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been
made):

     (i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed
with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective;

     (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional
information;

     (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection
to the use of the form on which the Registration Statement has been filed, and of
the happening of any event that causes the Company to become an “ineligible
issuer,” as defined in Commission Rule 405;

     (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; and

     (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes
in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration
Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

     (c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement.

     (d) If not otherwise available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”), upon the written request of a Holder of Securities
included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, the Company shall furnish, without
charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if such
Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated
by reference). The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Purchasers, make
any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as
defined in Commission Rule 405. Each Purchaser, Holder of Securities and Participating
Broker Dealer shall not take any action that would result in the Company being required to
file with the Commission a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such
Purchaser, Holder of Securities or Participating Broker Dealer that otherwise

6

 

would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of such
Purchaser, Holder of Securities or Participating Broker Dealer.

     (e) If not otherwise available on EDGAR, upon the written request of any Holder of
Securities, Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer, the Company shall deliver to each Exchanging
Dealer and each Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at
least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if any Purchaser or
any such Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference).

     (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder
of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as
many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf
Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may
reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to
the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities
covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf
Registration Statement.

     (g) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any
Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus
following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final
prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or
supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto by any Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such
other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in
connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement.

     (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant to any Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer
and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any
Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the
Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service
of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

     (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold
pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period
of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

     (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of
Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an
effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of
the Securities or purchasers of Securities,

7

 

the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company
notifies the Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating
Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to
suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been
made, then the Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating
Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus (and shall keep confidential the cause
of such notice for so long as the cause is not otherwise publicly known), and the period of
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall be extended
by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
including the date when the Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known
Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus
pursuant to this Section 3(j). Each Holder receiving a notice pursuant to clauses (ii)
through (v) of Section 3(b) hereby agrees that (unless prohibited by applicable law or
applicable document retention policy) it will either (i) destroy all prospectuses, other
than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by
the Company with more recently dated prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company all
copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the
prospectus covering such Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice.

     (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the
Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Offered Securities, the Exchange Securities or
the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee
with printed certificates for the Offered Securities, the Exchange Securities or the
Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company.

     (l) The Company will comply in all material respects with all rules and regulations
of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered
Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security
holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an
earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no
later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a
fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter
commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall
cover such 12-month period.

     (m) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture
to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and
containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the
event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the
Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Indenture.

     (n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the
Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time
reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may
exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to
furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

     (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested,
an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any
Holder of

8

 

the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

     (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably
available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all
relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and
auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the
Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such
persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering
shall be coordinated on behalf of the Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties,
by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4
hereof; provided, further, that the conduct of the foregoing inspection and information
gathering shall be subject to the execution by all persons party to such inspection and
information gathering of a reasonable confidentiality undertaking in customary form with
respect to confidential and proprietary information of the Company.

     (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of
Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates
thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the
managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the
effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be
covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good
standing of the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and its
subsidiaries to transact business as foreign corporations; the due authorization, execution
and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the
due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and
enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental
proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the absence of governmental
approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the
offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in
Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance in all material respects as to form of such Shelf
Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the
Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act,
respectively; as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto or most recent
prospectus supplement thereto that is deemed to establish a new effective date, as the case
may be, the absence from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus and any
prospectus supplement included therein, as then amended or supplemented and including any
documents incorporated by reference therein, of an untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; and as of an applicable time identified by such
Holders or managing underwriters, the absence from the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented at such applicable time and including
any documents incorporated by reference therein, taken together with any other documents
identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, of an untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary
documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the
applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent
public accountants with respect to any other entity for which

9

 

financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the
selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter
in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters
in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate
documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards
No. 72.

     (r) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon
delivery of the Offered Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as
directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on the
Offered Securities so exchanged that such Offered Securities are being canceled in exchange
for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no
event shall the Offered Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

     (s) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) if the Offered
Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Offered Securities, confirm
such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if
the Offered Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, in each case, if
so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered
by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any.

     (t) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall
underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or
selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the
“Rules”) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”)) thereof, whether
as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker
or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in
complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if
such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent
underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the
Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due
diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales
agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified
independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be
required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules.

     (u) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps
necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement
contemplated hereby.

     (v) Each Holder and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of Offered
Securities or Exchange Securities that, upon the Company providing notice to such Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, (x) of the happening of any event of the
kind described in paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) hereof, or (y) that the Board
of Directors of the Company has resolved that the Company has a bona fide business purpose
for doing so, then, upon providing such notice (which shall refer to this Section 3(w)),
the Company may delay the filing or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
(if not then filed or effective, as applicable) and shall not be required to maintain the
effectiveness thereof or amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement, in all
cases, for a period (a “Delay Period”) expiring upon the earlier to occur of (i) in the
case of the immediately preceding clause (x), such Holder’s or

10

 

Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) hereof or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies
of any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) in the case of the immediately preceding
clause (y), the date which is the earlier of (A) the date on which such business purpose
ceases to interfere with the Company’s obligations to file or maintain the effectiveness of
any such Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement or (B) 60 days after the Company
notifies the Holders of such good faith determination. There shall not be more than 60 days
of Delay Periods during any 12-month period. The Shelf Registration Period provided for in
Section 2(b) above shall each be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days
during any Delay Period. Any Delay Period will not alter the obligations of the Company to
pay Additional Interest under the circumstances set forth in Section 6 hereof.

     4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 hereof (including the
reasonable fees and expenses, if any, of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Purchasers,
incurred in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer), whether or not the Registered Exchange
Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf
Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities covered thereby for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Offered Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the
Offered Securities in connection therewith.

     5. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of
the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder
or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to
collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to,
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the
Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
any preliminary prospectus or “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Commission Rule 433
(“Issuer FWP”), relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified
Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a
Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such
Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion
therein; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also
indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders.

     (b) Each Holder of the Securities and each Participating Broker Dealer, severally and not
jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses,
claims, damages or

11

 

liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person
may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a
Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case
only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder or
Participating Broker Dealer and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or
Participating Broker Dealer specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set
forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder or Participating Broker
Dealer may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have
under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further
that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it
may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation,
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. In the
event, however, such indemnified party reasonably determines in its judgment based on the advice of
counsel that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the
defendants in or targets of any such action or proceeding include both an indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and such indemnified party reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnifying party, or if the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of
the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party in
a timely manner, then such indemnified party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it
in any such action or proceeding and the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable and customary
fees and disbursements of such counsel. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for
the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel)
at any time for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general
allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of
such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action,
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the party of judgment with respect to, any such action
or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

12

 

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b)
above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the
exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation
provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on
the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one
hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the
Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net
proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such
indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

     (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

     6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional interest (the
“Additional Interest”) with respect to the Offered Securities shall be assessed as follows if any
of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iv) below a “Registration
Default”):

     (i) the Company fails to file any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
on or prior to the applicable deadline;

     (ii) any Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the
applicable effectiveness deadline;

     (iii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the
Consummation Deadline; or

     (iv) If after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement required by this Agreement has been declared effective by the
Commission but (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B)
such Registration

13

 

Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection
with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the Exchange Offer Registration
Period or the Shelf Registration Period, as applicable, except, in the case of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer
with respect to all Securities tendered in connection therewith, because either (1) any
event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration
Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such
Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) such Registration
Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired before a replacement Shelf
Registration Statement has become effective.

Additional Interest shall accrue on the Transfer Restricted Securities affected by a Registration
Default over and above the interest otherwise payable on the Transfer Restricted Securities from
and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date
on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first
90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default, to be increased by an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration
Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum. In no event
shall the Company be obligated to pay Additional Interest for more than one Registration Default
under this Section 6(a) at any one time.

     (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iv)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to
have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related
prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a
post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited
financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet
effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y)
other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is
proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and
related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such
Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 60 days, Additional Interest shall
be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from and after the 60th day after such
Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

     (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a) above will be payable in
cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities. The
amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest
rate by the principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such
period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the
denominator of which is 360.

     (d) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such
Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely
transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a
broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of a Offered Security for an Exchange Security, the
date on which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on
or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or (iii) the date on which such Offered Security has been effectively
registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration
Statement.

14

 

     7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner
and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of
any Holder of Offered Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to
permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it
will take such further action as any Holder of Offered Securities may reasonably request, all to
the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Offered Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144
and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Offered Securities identified to the Company by the
Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Offered Securities, the Company shall
deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to
register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

     8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any
Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment
bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be
selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted
Securities to be included in such offering, subject to the prior approval by the Company, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i)
agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements
and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.

     9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
except by the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents.

     (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall

not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such
required percentage.

prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement.

     (k) Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date, if any, that the
Company notifies the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Indenture) in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Indenture) that the conditions to the release of the Collateral
(as defined in the Indenture) from escrow will not be satisfied and sends notice of a Special
Redemption (as defined in the Indenture).

ANNEX A

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by
delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities
received in exchange for Offered Securities where such Offered Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make
this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See
“Plan of Distribution.”

 

 

ANNEX B

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for
Securities, where such Offered Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

 

ANNEX C

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time,
may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Offered Securities where such Offered Securities were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of
180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
        , 20 all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to
deliver a prospectus.(1)

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by
broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to
the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange
Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale
may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation
in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such
Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it
for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a
distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of
the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the
Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and
by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly send additional
copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer
that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all
expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of
the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify
the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

			
	(1)	 	In addition, the legend required by
Item 502(e) of Regulation S-K will appear on the back cover page of the
Exchange Offer prospectus.

(i) any Supporting Obligation that supports such payment or performance and (ii) any Lien that (x)
secures such right to payment or performance or (y) secures any such Supporting Obligation.

     (c) The Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any
obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in
connection therewith.

     SECTION 3. General Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants
that, as of the date hereof:

     (a) Such Grantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction identified as its jurisdiction of organization in its Perfection
Certificate.

     (b) With respect to each Original Grantor, Schedule 1 lists all Equity Interests in
Subsidiaries and Affiliates owned by such Grantor as of the date hereof. Such Grantor holds all
such Equity Interests directly (i.e., not through a Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary or any
other Person).

     (c) (i) With respect to each Original Grantor, (A) Part 1 of Schedule 2 lists, as of
the date hereof, all Securities owned by such Grantor (except Securities evidencing Equity
Interests in Subsidiaries and Affiliates) and (B) Part 2 of

13

 

Schedule 2 lists, as of the date hereof, all Securities Accounts to which Financial Assets are
credited in respect of which such Grantor owns Security Entitlements.

     (ii) Except for the Existing Transfer Restrictions, the Collateral is not subject to
any Transfer Restriction, and the Grantor will not cause or suffer to exist any Transfer
Restriction other than the Existing Transfer Restrictions with respect to any of the
Collateral.

     (iii) The Equity Interests listed on Part 3 of Schedule 2 hereto (the “Rule 144/145
Securities”) are or may be deemed restricted or control securities (as indicated on Part 3
of Schedule 2) for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Grantor has indicated on Part 3 of
Schedule whether the securities are or are not subject to any restrictions pursuant to
Rule 145 under the Securities Act (“Rule 145”).

     (iv) The Grantor has held such Rule 144/145 Securities and borne the full economic
risk thereof from or prior to the date(s) indicated on Part 3 of Schedule 2.

     (v) The Grantor will cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent with respect to any
sale by the Collateral Agent of any of the Rule 144/145 Securities, including full and
complete compliance with all requirements of Rule 144 and/or Rule 145 and will give to the
Collateral Agent all information and will do all things necessary, including the execution
of all documents, forms, instruments and other items, to comply with Rule 144 and/or Rule
145 for the complete and unrestricted sale and/or transfer of the Rule 144/145 Securities
and will exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to have the issuer of any Rule
144/145 Securities, upon the request of the Collateral Agent at the written direction of
the Majority Holders, take all such action as may be required to satisfy the public
information requirements of Rule 144(c).

     (vi) The Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts, upon the Collateral
Agent’s written request, to obtain and publish all information necessary to satisfy Rule
144 and/or Rule 145 in the event any issuer of the Rule 144/145 Securities is not current
in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at the time of a foreclosure sale
by the Collateral Agent.

     (d) Grantor owns no Commodity Account in respect of which such Grantor is the
Commodity Customer.

14

 

     (e) All Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Grantor are owned by it free and
clear of any Lien other than the Permitted Collateral Liens. All shares of capital stock included
in such Pledged Equity Interests (including shares of capital stock in respect of which such
Grantor owns a Security Entitlement) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable. None of such Pledged Equity Interests is subject to any option to
purchase or similar right of any Person. Such Grantor is not and will not become a party to or
otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Secured Documents) which restricts in any manner the
rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest with respect thereto.

     (f) Such Grantor has good and marketable title to all its Collateral (subject to
exceptions that are, in the aggregate, not material), free and clear of any Lien other than
Permitted Collateral Liens.

     (g) Such Grantor has not performed any acts that might prevent the Collateral Agent
from enforcing any of the provisions of the Collateral Documents or that would in any material
respect limit the Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security
agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or part of the
Collateral owned by such Grantor is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing
or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing
statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Collateral
Liens. After the date hereof, no Collateral owned by such Grantor will be in the possession or
under the Control of any other Person having a claim thereto or security interest therein, other
than a Permitted Collateral Lien.

     (h) The Transaction Liens on all Personal Property Collateral owned by such Grantor
(i) have been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the date hereof
(or, if such Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii)
when so attached, will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Grantor’s Secured Guarantee, as
the case may be.

     (i) When the relevant Mortgages have been duly executed and delivered, the
Transaction Liens on all Real Property Collateral owned by such Grantor as of the date hereof will
have been validly created and will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Grantor’s Secured
Guarantee, as the case may be. When such Mortgages have been duly recorded, such Transaction Liens
will rank prior to all other Liens (except Permitted Collateral Liens) on such Real Property
Collateral.

     (j) Such Grantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate to the Collateral Agent.
With respect to each Original Grantor, information set forth therein is

15

 

correct and complete as of the date hereof. Within 60 days after the date hereof, such
Original Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent a file search report from each UCC filing
office listed in its Perfection Certificate, showing the filing made at such filing office to
perfect the Transaction Liens on its Collateral.

     (k) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal
property” have been filed in the offices specified in such Perfection Certificate, the Transaction
Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Personal Property Collateral owned by
such Grantor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to
the UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Collateral Liens. When,
in addition to the filing of such UCC financing statements, the applicable Intellectual Property
Filings have been made with respect to such Grantor’s Recordable Intellectual Property (including
any future filings required pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 5(a)), the Transaction Liens will
constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such Grantor in its
Recordable Intellectual Property to the extent that security interests therein may be perfected by
such filings, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Collateral Liens.
Except for (i) the filing of such UCC financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual Property Filings
and (iii) the due recordation of the Mortgages, no registration, recordation or filing with any
governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the execution or delivery of
the Collateral Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the
perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or for the enforcement of the Transaction
Liens.

     (l) Such Grantor has taken, and will continue to take, all actions necessary under
the UCC to perfect its interest in any Accounts or Chattel Paper purchased or otherwise acquired by
it, as against its assignors and creditors of its assignors.

     (m) Such Grantor’s Collateral is insured as required by the Indenture.

     (n) To the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, all of such Grantor’s Inventory has or
will have been produced in compliance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended.

     (o) The execution and delivery by such Grantor of, and the performance by such
Grantor of its obligations under, this Agreement will not contravene (A) any provision of
applicable law, (B) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other organizational documents
in the case of a non-corporate Grantor) of such Grantor, (C) any agreement or other instrument
binding upon such Grantor or any of its subsidiaries or (D) any judgment, order or decree of any
governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries,
except, in the cases of (C) and (D), for contraventions that would not

16

 

have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the
Transaction Liens.

     (p) This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by such
Grantor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Grantor, enforceable against such
Grantor in accordance with its terms, except as (i) the enforceability hereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights or remedies generally (regardless of whether considered in an action at law or in
equity) and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of
general applicability.

     SECTION 4. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Grantor covenants as follows:

     (a) Such Grantor will, from time to time, at the Issuer’s expense, execute, deliver,
file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take
any other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing) that from time to time may be
necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to:

     (i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such
Grantor’s Collateral;

     (ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts, Pledged Investment Property and Pledged
Letter-of-Credit Rights, cause the Collateral Agent to have Control thereof;

     (iii) enable the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to obtain the full
benefits of the Collateral Documents; or

     (iv) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers
and remedies with respect to any of such Grantor’s Collateral.

Such Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file such financing statements or
continuation statements in such jurisdictions with such descriptions of collateral (including “all
assets” or “all personal property” or other words to that effect) and other information set forth
therein as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the purposes set
forth in the preceding sentence. Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral
Agent to file in any such jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if
filed prior to the date hereof. The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office or United States

17

 

Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such
documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing,
enforcing or protecting the security interests granted by each Grantor, without the signature of
any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured
party. The Issuer will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any Intellectual Property Filings and
any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents recorded or
filed pursuant hereto.

     (b) Such Grantor will not (i) change its name or organizational form or structure,
(ii) change its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as
provided in UCC Section 9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another
Person, unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent at least 10 days’ prior written notice
thereof and taken all steps necessary to maintain the Transaction Liens in the Collateral of such
Grantor.

     (c) [Reserved.]

     (d) If any of its (A) Collateral (other than Collateral constituting Inventory) with
a value exceeding $1,000,000 or (B) Collateral constituting Inventory with a value exceeding
$10,000,000), individually or in the aggregate at any time outstanding, is in the possession or
control of a warehouseman, bailee or agent at any time, such Grantor will (i) notify such
warehouseman, bailee or agent of the relevant Transaction Liens, (ii) instruct such warehouseman,
bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s account subject to the
Collateral Agent’s instructions (which shall permit such Collateral to be removed by such Grantor
in the ordinary course of business until the Collateral Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or
agent that an Actionable Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii) cause such warehouseman,
bailee or agent to Authenticate a Record acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral
for the Collateral Agent’s benefit and (iv)make such Authenticated Record available to the
Collateral Agent.

     (e) Such Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or
grant any option with respect to, any of its Collateral; provided that such Grantor may do any of
the foregoing unless (i) doing so would violate a covenant in the Indenture or (ii) an Actionable
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and either (A) the Collateral Agent shall have
notified such Grantor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited or (B)
the maturity of any or all of the Secured Obligations shall have been accelerated. Concurrently
with any sale, lease or other disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Grantor or a
lease) permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of
(but not in any Proceeds arising from such

18

 

sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party. The Collateral Agent will, at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to
the relevant Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact
that any asset so sold or disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien.

     (f) Such Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Collateral Agent all
information and evidence concerning such Grantor’s Collateral that the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Collateral
Documents.

     (g) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a certificate executed by an executive officer of the Issuer certifying that all
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other
appropriate filings, recordings or registrations, including all refilings or continuations thereof,
have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each
jurisdiction identified pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4 to the extent necessary to
protect and perfect the security interests granted hereunder for a period of not less than 18
months after the date of such certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation
statements to be filed within such period).

     SECTION 5. Recordable Intellectual Property. Each Grantor covenants as follows:

     (a) With respect to Intellectual Property, upon the reasonable request of the
Collateral Agent, each Grantor hereby agrees to sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent
Intellectual Property Security Agreements with respect to all Recordable Intellectual Property then
owned by it. Thereafter, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor hereby
agrees to sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security
Agreement covering any Recordable Intellectual Property owned by it that is not covered by any
previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it
will promptly make all Intellectual Property Filings necessary to record the Transaction Liens on
such Recordable Intellectual Property.

     (b) Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any
application or registration relating to any material Recordable Intellectual Property owned or
licensed by it may become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any material adverse
determination or development (including the institution of, or any material adverse determination
or development in, any

19

 

proceeding in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of such Recordable Intellectual Property,
its right to register or patent the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. If any of
such Grantor’s rights to any material Recordable Intellectual Property are materially infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent within
30 days after it learns thereof and will, unless such Grantor shall reasonably determine that such
action would be of negligible value, economic or otherwise, promptly sue for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Recordable Intellectual Property.

     (c) Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent at the written direction of
the Majority Holders, each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all
requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or
Trademark License that is material to such Grantor’s business and under which such Grantor is a
licensee to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or its designee.

     SECTION 6. Investment Property. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

     (a) Certificated Securities. On the date hereof (in the case of an Original
Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the
case of any other Grantor), such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent as Collateral
hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities then owned by such Grantor.
Thereafter, whenever such Grantor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged
Certificated Security, such Grantor will promptly (and in any case, within 10 Business Days)
deliver such certificate to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this
subsection are subject to the limitation in Section 6(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in
a Foreign Subsidiary.

     (b) Uncertificated Securities. On the date hereof (in the case of an Original
Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the
case of any other Grantor), such Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter
into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security then owned by
such Grantor, where the issuer of such Uncertificated Security is a Subsidiary of such Grantor (and
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant issuer to enter into an Issuer Control
Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security

20

 

then owned by such Grantor, where the issuer of such Uncertificated Security is not a
Subsidiary of such Grantor), and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Collateral Agent
(which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Grantor acquires any other Pledged
Uncertificated Security, such Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into)
an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of such Pledged Uncertificated Security, where the issuer of
such Uncertificated Security is a Subsidiary of such Grantor (and use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the relevant issuer to enter into an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each
Pledged Uncertificated Security then owned by such Grantor, where the issuer of such Uncertificated
Security is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor), and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the
Collateral Agent (which shall enter into the same). The provisions of this subsection are subject
to the limitation in Section 6(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary.

     (c) Security Entitlements. On the date hereof (in the case of an Original Grantor)
or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of
any other Grantor), such Grantor will, with respect to each Security Entitlement then owned by it,
enter into (and cause the relevant Securities Intermediary to enter into) a Securities Account
Control Agreement in respect of such Security Entitlement and the Securities Account to which the
underlying Financial Asset is credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement
to the Collateral Agent (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Grantor
acquires any other Security Entitlement, such Grantor will, as promptly as practicable, cause the
underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account.

     (d) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Grantor delivers the
certificate representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Collateral Agent and
complies with Section 6(h) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such
Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others,
(ii) the Collateral Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the
Collateral Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

     (e) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Grantor, the Collateral
Agent and the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned by such Grantor enter into an
Issuer Control Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged
Uncertificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) the
Collateral Agent will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the Collateral
Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

21

 

     (f) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset
underlying any Security Entitlement owned by such Grantor is credited to a Controlled Securities
Account, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected, subject to no
prior Liens or rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary
that are Permitted Collateral Liens), (ii) the Collateral Agent will have Control of such Security
Entitlement and (iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such
Financial Asset, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or
other theory, may be asserted against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

     (g) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security
Entitlements owned by such Grantor, and all Securities Accounts to which the related Financial
Assets are credited, the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC
Section 8-110(e)) will at all times be located in the United States.

     (h) Delivery of Pledged Certificates. All certificates representing Pledged
Certificated Securities, when delivered to the Collateral Agent, will be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank, with signatures appropriately guaranteed, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent.

     (i) Communications. Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies
of any notices and other communications received by it with respect to (i) Pledged Securities
registered in the name of such Grantor or its nominee and (ii) Pledged Security Entitlements as to
which such Grantor is the Entitlement Holder.

     (j) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Grantor will not be obligated to comply with the
provisions of this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign
Subsidiary if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is
excluded from the Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
“Excluded Property” and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Security Agreement Supplements.

     (k) Compliance with Applicable Foreign Laws. If and so long as the Collateral
includes (i) any Equity Interest in, or other Investment Property issued by, a legal entity
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or (ii) any Security
Entitlement in respect of a Financial Asset issued by such a foreign legal entity, the relevant
Grantor will upon request of the Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take
all such action as may be required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction to ensure that the
Transaction

22

 

Lien on such Collateral ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein to the extent
permitted by such law.

     (l) Certification of Limited Liability Company and Partnership Interests. Any
limited liability company and any partnership controlled by any Grantor shall either (a) not
include in its operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such limited
liability company or such partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, or (b) certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or
such partnership. To the extent an interest in any limited liability company or partnership
controlled by any Grantor and pledged hereunder is certificated or becomes certificated, each such
certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(a) and such Grantor
shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 6 applicable in respect thereof.

     SECTION 7. Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

     (a) All cash other than cash held in any Excluded Account owned by such Grantor will
be deposited, upon or promptly after the receipt thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit
Accounts.

     (b) In respect of each Controlled Deposit Account, the Depositary Bank’s
jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-304) will at all times be a jurisdiction in
which Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect.

     (c) So long as the Collateral Agent has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the
Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or
rights of others (except (x) the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct its normal operating charges and
any uncollected funds previously credited thereto and (y) nonconsensual Permitted Collateral
Liens).

     SECTION 8. Cash Collateral Accounts. If and when required for purposes hereof or of any
Secured Document, the Collateral Agent will establish with respect to each Grantor an account (its
“Cash Collateral Account”), in the name and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent,
into which all amounts owned by such Grantor that are to be deposited therein pursuant to the
applicable Secured Document shall be deposited from time to time. Funds held in any Cash
Collateral Account may, until withdrawn, be invested and reinvested in such Cash Equivalents as the
relevant Grantor shall request in writing from time to time; provided that if an Actionable Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may select such Cash Equivalents.
Subject to Section 14, withdrawal of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall

23

 

be permitted if, as and when expressly so provided in or in respect of the applicable
provision of the Secured Document pursuant to which such Cash Collateral Account was required to be
established.

     SECTION 9. Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as
follows:

     (a) In the case of an Original Grantor, Schedule 3 accurately describes, with the
specificity required to satisfy Official Comment 5 to UCC Section 9-108, each Commercial Tort Claim
with respect to which such Original Grantor is the claimant as of the date hereof other than any
Commercial Tort Claim with a value of less than $5,000,000. In the case of any other Grantor,
Schedule 3 to its first Security Agreement Supplement will accurately describe, with the
specificity required to satisfy said Official Comment 5, each Commercial Tort Claim with respect to
which such Grantor is the claimant as of the date on which it signs and delivers such Security
Agreement Supplement.

     (b) If any Grantor acquires a Commercial Tort Claim with a value of $5,000,000 or
more after the date hereof (in the case of an Original Grantor) or the date on which it signs and
delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Grantor), such Grantor
will promptly sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement granting a
security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim (which shall be described therein with the
specificity required to satisfy said Official Comment 5) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties.

     SECTION 10. Transfer Of Record Ownership. At any time when an Actionable Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may (and to the extent that action by it is
required, the relevant Grantor, if directed to do so by the Collateral Agent, will as promptly as
practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such
direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee. Each
Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to facilitate
compliance with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 6(b)
shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee. The Collateral Agent will promptly give to the relevant Grantor copies of
any notices and other communications received by the Collateral Agent with respect to Pledged
Securities registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.

     SECTION 11. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Actionable Default shall have occurred
and be continuing (and the Collateral Agent has given written notice as provided in Section 11(b)),
each Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications
and waivers with respect to any

24

 

Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security
Entitlement owned by it, including in each case, shares issued by Spectrum that are recorded at
Bank of New York Mellon in the name of the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent will, upon
receiving a written request from such Grantor, deliver to such Grantor or as specified in such
request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any
such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee or any
such Pledged Security Entitlement as to which the Collateral Agent or its nominee is the
Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     (b) If an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the
Collateral Agent has received written instruction from the Majority Holders, the Collateral Agent
will, upon giving written notice to the applicable Grantor of its intention to exercise such
rights, have the exclusive right to the extent permitted by law to vote, to give consents,
ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Available Portion of
Collateral, with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute and sole
owner thereof, and each Grantor will take all such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request from time to time to give effect to such right. For the avoidance of doubt, each Grantor
shall retain the right to vote, give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other
action with respect to such Available Portion of Collateral (including, when applicable, shares
issued by Spectrum that are recorded at Bank of New York Mellon in the name of the Collateral
Agent) in the event that (i) the Collateral Agent does not give written notice referred to above of
its intention to exercise such rights or (ii) all Actionable Defaults shall no longer be
continuing, in each case so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Indenture or
hereof.

     SECTION 12. Certain Cash Distributions. Cash Distributions with respect to assets held in a
Collateral Account shall be deposited and held therein, or withdrawn therefrom, as provided in
Section 8. Cash Distributions with respect to any Pledged Equity Interest or Pledged Debt that is
not held in a Collateral Account (whether held in the name of a Grantor or in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee) shall be deposited, promptly upon receipt thereof, in a Controlled
Deposit Account of the relevant Grantor; provided that, if an Actionable Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may deposit, or direct the recipient thereof to
deposit, each such Cash Distribution in the relevant Grantor’s Cash Collateral Account.

     SECTION 13. Remedies upon Actionable Default. (a) If an Actionable Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise

25

 

(or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such
sub-agents) under the Collateral Documents with respect to the Available Portion of the Collateral.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Actionable Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties
all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where
such rights are exercised) with respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the
Collateral Agent may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as
may be required by mandatory provisions of law, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or
at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent
may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price
of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Secured Party may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and (with the consent of the Collateral
Agent, which may be withheld in its discretion) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at
any such public sale, to use and apply all of any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Upon any sale of Collateral
by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of 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 to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely
free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the
extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal that it now has or may at any
time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
each Grantor hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party arising because the price at which
any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have
been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and
does not offer such

26

 

Collateral to more than one offeree. The Collateral Agent may disclaim any warranty, as to
title or as to any other matter, in connection with such sale or other disposition, and its doing
so shall not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other
disposition.

     (c) If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantors
will be credited only with payment actually made by the purchaser, received by the Collateral Agent
and applied in accordance with Section 14 hereof. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the same, subject to the same rights and duties set
forth herein.

     (d) Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant
Grantor(s) as (and if) required by Section 16.

     (e) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise
such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), to use, license or
sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license 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 by the Collateral Agent may be exercised
only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Actionable Default; provided, however,
that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an
Actionable Default.

     (f) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall apply to Real Property Collateral
only to the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of any applicable Mortgage or
other document.

     (g) Each Grantor hereby covenants that on the earlier to occur of (i) the occurrence
of a default under any Secured Document, (ii) such time as Spectrum becomes a “well-known seasoned
issuer” as defined under the Securities Act rules and regulations, and (iii) at any time that the
Liquid Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than 1.75 to 1, the Issuer will be required to exercise
all of its contractual rights and use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as
possible, cause Spectrum to file and become effective a shelf registration that shall be in form
suitable for use by the Collateral Agent in connection with any disposition of Spectrum Equity
Interests constituting part of the Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies, and to
keep such shelf registration statement effective at all times until the earlier of the time (i) the
Secured Obligations are repaid in full

27

 

or (ii) all Spectrum Equity Interests pledged as Collateral hereunder have been disposed of by
the Collateral Agent.

     (h) After all Actionable Defaults have been cured or waived, at the direction of the
Majority Holders, the Collateral Agent shall enter into an amendment to any Deposit Account Control
Agreement that requires such Deposit Account Control Agreement be amended for the purpose of
terminating the Collateral Agent’s exclusive control as a result of an Actionable Default over the
related Deposit Account in the instance the Collateral Agent exercised remedies over the related
Deposit Account (but otherwise such amendment will ensure the Collateral Agent retains Control of
such Deposit Account).

     SECTION 14. Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply (i) any cash held in the Collateral Accounts and (ii)
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in accordance
with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

     (b) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral
Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section 18(c). All distributions made
by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest
error) and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured
Party of any amount distributed to it.

     SECTION 15. Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Issuer will forthwith upon demand
pay to the Collateral Agent:

     (i) the amount of any taxes that the Collateral Agent may have been required to pay
by reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon;

     (ii) the amount of any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses,
including transfer taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts,
that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (x) the administration or
enforcement of the Collateral Documents, including such expenses as are incurred to
preserve the value of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any
Transaction Lien, (y) the collection, sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (z)
the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or powers under the Collateral
Documents;

28

 

     (iii) the amount of any fees that the Issuer shall have agreed in writing to pay to
the Collateral Agent and that shall have become due and payable in accordance with such
written agreement; and

     (iv) the amount required to indemnify the Collateral Agent for, or hold it harmless
and defend it against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable and
documented fees and expenses of its counsel and any experts or sub-agents appointed by it
hereunder) incurred or suffered by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral
Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the
Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty that the
Collateral Agent has under this Agreement (after giving effect to Sections 17 and 18).

     (b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection
with any transfer or other transaction provided for in the Collateral Documents, the Issuer will
pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Collateral Agent or as otherwise required
by law.

     (c) The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Secured Parties, their respective
affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable expenses of investigation by
engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) arising out of, or in connection with any and all environmental
liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor waives all rights for
contribution and all other rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs
and expenses arising under or related to environmental laws that it might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee.

     SECTION 16. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such
Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but
at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to
time while an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following
powers with respect to all or any of such Grantor’s Collateral:

     (a) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and
all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

29

 

     (b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding with respect thereto,

     (c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the
proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute owner thereof, and

     (d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any
allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

provided that, except in the case of Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the
Collateral Agent will give the relevant Grantor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time
and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in
UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified
pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with this
sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any)
imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.

     SECTION 17. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee
selected by it in good faith or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or
control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its
own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or
for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or
bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability
arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     SECTION 18. General Provisions Concerning the Collateral Agent.

     (a) The provisions of Article 7 of the Indenture shall inure to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, and shall be binding upon all Grantors and all Secured Parties, in connection
with this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether an Actionable Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Collateral
Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary

30

 

powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Collateral
Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise in accordance with the Collateral Trust
Agreement, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall not
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information
relating to any Grantor that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Collateral Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the
existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or
enforceability of any Transaction Lien, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any
action or omission to act on its part under the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Actionable Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Collateral Agent by any Grantor or a Secured Party.

     (b) Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its
duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents appointed by it.
The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its
rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 17 and this
Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and
any such sub-agent.

     (c) Information as to Secured Obligations and Actions by Secured Parties. For all
purposes of the Collateral Documents, including determining the amounts of the Secured Obligations,
or whether any action has been taken under any Secured Document, the Collateral Agent will be
entitled to rely on information from (i) its own records for information as to the Secured Parties,
their Secured Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) any Secured Party (or any trustee, agent
or similar representative designated pursuant to Section 21 to supply such information) for
information as to its Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that the
Collateral Agent has not obtained such information from its own records, and (iii) the Issuer, to
the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources.

     (d) Refusal to Act. The Collateral Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent,
direction or instruction from any Secured Parties or any agent, trustee or similar representative
thereof that, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary to law or the provisions of any
Collateral Document, (ii) may expose the Collateral Agent to liability (unless the Collateral Agent
shall have been indemnified, to its reasonable satisfaction, for such liability by the Secured
Parties that gave such notice, consent, direction or instruction) or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to
Secured Parties not joining in such notice, consent, direction or instruction.

31

 

     (e) The provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Indenture relating to
the Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or
removal of the Collateral Agent, reimbursement of expenses, exculpatory rights, rights to
indemnification and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated
herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Collateral Trust Agreement or the
Indenture, as applicable.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, to the extent the
provisions hereunder provide for the Collateral Agent to make any request to any Grantor to take or
refrain from taking any action, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to make any such request,
unless instructed in writing to do so by the Majority Holders.

     SECTION 19. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral. (a) The Transaction
Liens on the Collateral will be released as provided in Section 7.01 of the Collateral Trust
Agreement.

     (b) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the
Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor
such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such
Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

     SECTION 20. Additional Guarantors and Grantors. Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by
signing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon such
Subsidiary shall become a “Guarantor” and a “Grantor” as defined herein. The rights and
obligations of each Grantor shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

     SECTION 21. New Obligations. On or after the date of this Agreement, the Issuer may from
time to time designate additional obligations as New Obligations by delivering to the Collateral
Agent a fully executed Pari-Passu Joinder Agreement (except in the case of Additional Notes) and
otherwise complying with Section 2.02 of the Collateral Agreement.

     SECTION 22. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be
delivered as provided in Section 8.03 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 23. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect
to, any right or remedy under any

32

 

Collateral Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy under any Secured
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Secured Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any Secured
Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such
obligation. This Agreement shall be binding on the Grantors and their respective successors and
assigns.

     SECTION 25. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent (acting pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the Collateral Trust Agreement) and, with respect to any amendment, the Issuer on
behalf of the Grantors (to the extent required by the Collateral Trust Agreement), and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given..

     SECTION 26. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law
and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.

     SECTION 27. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG

33

 

OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION 28. Severability. If any provision of any Collateral Document is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other
provisions of the Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction
and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in order
to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity
or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 29. Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which shall constitute one
instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic
means in PDF format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 30. Rights Of Holders. No Holder or holder of any New Obligations shall have any
independent rights hereunder other than those rights granted to individual Holders pursuant to
Section 6.07 of the Indenture or comparable provision for holders of New Obligations under any New
Document; provided that nothing in this subsection shall limit any rights granted to the Trustee
under the Notes or the Indenture or any New Representative under any New Document.

to Security and Pledge Agreement

[FORM OF] SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT

     SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT dated as of _______, ____, between [NAME OF GRANTOR] (the
“Grantor”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Collateral Agent.

     WHEREAS, Harbinger Group Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Collateral Agent,
are parties to a Security and Pledge Agreement dated as of January 7, 2011 (as heretofore amended
and/or supplemented, the “Security Agreement”) under which Harbinger Group Inc. secures its Secured
