7. The Pledgors’ Rights. As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to the Pledgors in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof:

(a) The Pledgors shall have the right, from time to time, subject to Section 6 hereof, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Pledgor will vote, exercise ownership rights or take actions to enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of it or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of such Pledged Collateral or proceeds thereof or otherwise take actions which would be materially inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) (i) The Pledgors shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for their own use all cash dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests; and (ii) all non-cash dividends and other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Equity Interests, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(c) Each of GCP LP and GCP GP shall have the right, upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Collateral Agent, to transfer any or all of its Pledged Equity Interests in CCTP to another domestic wholly-owned subsidiary of CEI; provided that such transferee shall, on or prior to the date of such transfer, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, become a party hereto, a “Pledgor” hereunder and a “Loan Party” for all purposes under the Loan Documents, with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Pledge Agreement and named as a “Pledgor” hereunder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice to any of the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at the Collateral Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Collateral Agent may deem fair, and the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Collateral Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Collateral Agent. EACH OF THE PLEDGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS, THE APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF APPLICABLE PLEDGED ENTITY THEREOF) BY ANY

PERSON (INCLUDING ANY PLEDGED ENTITY OR ANY OFFICER OR SECURED PARTY THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Collateral Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to the Pledgors.

(c) If, at any time when the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, the Collateral Agent in its discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then the Collateral Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

(i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

(ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

(iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about the Pledgors and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

(iv) as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(d) The Pledgors recognize that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c) above. The Pledgors also acknowledge that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Pledgors and such Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

(e) The Pledgors agree to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and the Pledgors waive the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. The Pledgors agree that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Pledgors by the Collateral Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Collateral Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against the Pledgors in any respect.

(f) The Pledgors further agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agree that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgors, and the Pledgors hereby waive and agree not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.

(g) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Pledged Entity to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from any Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Pledged Entity shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon any such instruction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests, directly to the Collateral Agent.

9. Waiver. No delay on the Collateral Agent’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Collateral Agent with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Collateral Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Collateral Agent’s rights as against such Pledgor in any respect.

10. Assignment. The Collateral Agent may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

11. Termination. Immediately following the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to Pledgors the Pledged Collateral pledged by the Pledgors at the time subject to this Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of the Pledgors’ obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

(a) All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense based on:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

(ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, such Pledgor or any other Person against the Collateral Agent;

(iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

(iv) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Pledgor; or

(vii) any exchange, release and/or surrender of all or any of the collateral securing the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, the Pledged Collateral), or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Collateral Agent in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from any Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that each Pledgor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Credit Agreement, or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon such Pledgor. No act or omission of any kind on the Collateral Agent’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.

(b) Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent upon such Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon such Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement; and all dealings between the Borrower and the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon each Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Each Pledgor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand or protest (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Pledged Collateral. Except for notices provided for herein, each Pledgor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Pledged Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Pledgor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent to

make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Pledgor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Pledgor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Pledgor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent against such Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

13. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of a Pledgor’s or a Pledged Entity’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
