Failure to Pledge Collateral In the event that the applicable Fund shall fail: (a) to pay, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, the Overdraft Obligation described in such Written Notice; (b) to deliver to the Custodian a Pledge Certificate pursuant to Section 2; or (c) to identify substitute securities pursuant to Section 6 upon the sale or maturity of any securities identified as Collateral, the Custodian may, by Written Notice to the applicable Fund specify Collateral which shall secure the applicable Overdraft Obligation. Such Fund, on behalf of any applicable Portfolio, hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Custodian a first priority security interest in any and all Collateral specified in such Written Notice; provided that such pledge, assignment and grant of security shall be deemed to be effective only upon receipt by the applicable Fund of such Written Notice.
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:
Pledge of Collateral Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Effective Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Effective Date, within ten (10) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Collateral Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Collateral Agent and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Agent or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
Negative Pledge Agreements Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary will create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any contract, agreement or understanding (other than this Agreement and the Security Instruments) which in any way prohibits or restricts the granting, conveying, creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its Property or restricts any Subsidiary from paying dividends to the Borrower, or which requires the consent of or notice to other Persons in connection therewith.
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.
Pledged Equity Interests, Investment Related Property (a) it is the record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity Interests free of all Liens, rights or claims of other Persons and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity Interests;
Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
Release of Pledged Shares from Pledge Upon the payment of all amounts due to the Pledgee under the Convertible Debentures by repayment in accordance with the terms of the Note, the parties hereto shall notify the Escrow Agent to such effect in writing. Upon receipt of such written notice for payment of the amounts due to the Pledgee under the Convertible Debentures, the Escrow Agent shall return to the Pledgor the Transfer Documents and the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, (collectively the "Pledged Materials"), whereupon any and all rights of Pledgee in the Pledged Materials shall be terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon full payment of all amounts due to the Pledgee under the Convertible Debentures, by repayment in accordance with the terms of the Note, this Agreement and Pledgee's security interest and rights in and to the Pledged Shares shall terminate.
Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Debtor, Debtor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further action as Lender may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to Lender’s possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected only by possession), and using its best efforts to obtain waivers of Liens and consents to assignments from landlords and mortgagees. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, effective upon the failure or refusal of Debtor upon request to execute and/or deliver to Lender any financing statement, continuation statement, instrument, document, or agreement that Lender may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers granted hereunder (herein, “Supplemental Documentation”), to sign Debtor’s name on any such Supplemental Documentation and to deliver any such Supplemental Documentation to such Person as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall elect. Debtor also hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing or continuation statement without the signature of Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law. Debtor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed by Lender in any filing office. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument or Document, such Instrument or Document shall be immediately pledged to Lender hereunder, and shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Lender and delivered to Lender. In the event that Debtor shall acquire after the Closing Date any letters of credit, Securities, Chattel Paper, Documents, or Instruments having a value in excess of $10,000, Debtor shall promptly so notify Lender and deliver the originals of all of the foregoing to Lender and in any event within ten (10) days of each acquisition.
Negative Pledge Clauses Enter into or suffer to exist or become effective any agreement that prohibits, limits or imposes any condition upon the ability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired other than (a) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and other agreements governing such Indebtedness, (b) any agreements governing any purchase money Liens or Capital Lease Obligations otherwise permitted hereby (in which case, any prohibition or limitation shall only be effective against the assets financed thereby), (c) any agreement governing any Junior Indebtedness, Convertible Notes, Incremental Equivalent Debt, Permitted Surviving Indebtedness, a Replacement Facility or a Permitted Foreign Receivables Facility permitted hereunder so long as the restrictions set forth therein are no more restrictive than the corresponding provisions in the Loan Documents, (d) any restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into in connection with the Disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary, (e) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions contained in agreements of any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged into or consolidated with the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or agreements assumed from any Person in connection with the acquisition of assets by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person after the date hereof, provided that such agreements exist at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or such agreements are assumed and in each case are not created in contemplation of or in connection with such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or the agreements being assumed, (f) any agreement of a Foreign Subsidiary governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred or permitted to exist under Section 8.2(t), (g) customary restrictions on leases, subleases, licenses or asset sale agreements otherwise permitted hereby so long as such restrictions may relate to the assets subject thereto, (h) customary restrictions contained in Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.2 (provided that such restrictions do not restrict the Liens securing the Obligations), (i) restrictions arising in connection with cash or other deposits permitted under Sections 8.3 or 8.7 and limited to such cash or deposit, (j) customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business, (k) restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority or arising by reason of applicable Law, rule, regulation or order or the terms of any license, authorization, concession or permit, and (l) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers, suppliers or landlords or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case, under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.
