DEFINITION OF PLEDGED PROPERTY For the purpose of securing prompt and complete payment and performance by the Company of all of the Obligations, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing security interest in and to, and lien upon, the following Pledged Property of the Company:
Release of Pledged Collateral The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Collateral from this Pledge Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge Agreement as to any Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted.
Retention of Pledged Collateral To the extent permitted under applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
Description of Pledged Collateral (a) The Pledged Collateral is described as follows and on any separate schedules at any time furnished by Pledgor to Secured Party (which schedules are hereby deemed part of this Agreement):
NOTICE OF PLEDGE 4.1 Subject to Clause 4.3 below the Pledgor undertakes that it will without undue delay, but not later than twenty business days after the date of this Agreement, and, in relation to any Account opened after the date of this Agreement, within ten business days after such new Account has been opened, notify each Account Bank and any other relevant third party of the Pledges by delivering a notification substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3 (Form of Notice of Pledge) by registered mail (Einschreiben mit Rückschein). The Pledgor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a copy of each such notification and of the corresponding return receipt (Rückschein). In addition, the Pledgor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that each Account Bank promptly acknowledges receipt of the respective notification, and acceptance of the terms thereof, to the Collateral Agent and to the Pledgor.
Authorization of Pledged Equity All Pledged Equity is duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and, to the extent applicable, nonassessable and is not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person.
Termination of Pledge Agreement This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Securities Contract and hereunder. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination shall be fully released and discharged from the Security Interests and delivered to Pledgor by Secured Party, all at the request and expense of Pledgor.
Release of Pledge 3.1 After the Pledgors and the Company fully and completely perform all of the Contractual Obligations and discharge all of the Secured Liabilities, the Pledgee shall, upon the Pledgors’ request, release the Equity Pledge under this Agreement and cooperate with the Pledgors to cancel the registration of the Equity Pledge on the Company’s register of shareholders and with the administration of industry and commerce in charge of the Company. The Pledgee shall assume the reasonable expenses arising out of the release of the Equity Pledge.
Authorization of Pledged Shares The Pledged Shares are duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person.
Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral (a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.
