Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as permitted by Section 9.05, none of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock in any Pledged Subsidiary owned by it, nor permit any Pledged Subsidiary to issue any shares of stock of any class whatsoever to any Person (other than to the Borrower or another Obligor). In the event that any such additional shares of stock are issued by any Pledged Subsidiary, the respective Obligor agrees forthwith to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents the certificates evidencing such shares of stock, accompanied by undated stock powers executed in blank and shall take such other action as the Administrative Agent shall request to perfect the security interest created therein pursuant to the Security Documents. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Borrower shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into any indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement (other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) that, directly or indirectly, prohibits or restrains, or has the effect of prohibiting or restraining, or imposes conditions upon the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, or the declaration or payment of dividends to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Recourse Obligations The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).
Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries Further Assurances (a) Such Obligor will take such action, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take such action, from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all Domestic Subsidiaries are “Subsidiary Guarantors” hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary, such Obligor will (or will cause such Subsidiary to) no later than within 60 days of such formation or acquisition: (i) cause such new Domestic Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” hereunder pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption Agreement; (ii) take such action or cause such Domestic Subsidiary to take such action (including joining the Security Agreement, delivering such shares of stock together with undated transfer powers executed in blank) as shall be necessary to create and perfect valid and enforceable first priority (subject to Permitted Priority Liens) Liens on substantially all of the personal property of such new Domestic Subsidiary as collateral security for the obligations of such new Domestic Subsidiary hereunder; (iii) to the extent that the parent of such Subsidiary is not a party to the Security Agreement or has not otherwise pledged Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement and this Agreement, cause the parent of such Subsidiary to execute and deliver a pledge agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all outstanding issued shares of such Subsidiary if it is a Domestic Subsidiary or 65% of the issued shares of such Subsidiary if it is a Foreign Subsidiary, to the extent not prohibited or otherwise restricted by applicable law; (iv) with respect to any Subsidiary, deliver such proof of corporate action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by each Obligor pursuant to Section 6.01 or as the Lender shall have requested; and (v) shall cause each new Subsidiary to become party to the Intercompany Subordination Agreement. (b) Such Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably be requested by the Lender to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Obligor will, and will cause each Person that is required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to, take such action from time to time (including executing and delivering such assignments, security agreements, control agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, perfected security interests and Liens in substantially all of the personal property of such Obligor and its Subsidiaries as collateral security for the Obligations; provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents.

Litigation and Contingent Obligations There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans.
