PLEDGE OF ASSETS Mortgage, pledge, grant or permit to exist a security interest in, or lien upon, all or any portion of Borrower's assets now owned or hereafter acquired, except any of the foregoing in favor of Bank or which is existing as of, and disclosed to Bank in writing prior to, the date hereof.
Pledge of Shares Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Bank, 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 Closing Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Closing Date, within ten (10) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Bank, 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 of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue 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.
Pledge of Stock Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to Secured Party a security interest in the Stock, which shall attach immediately upon each issuance of Stock to all shares of Stock issued to Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Immediately upon receipt of any shares of Stock, Pledgor shall be required to deliver to Secured Party the certificate or certificates representing the Stock in order that Secured Party might perfect its security interest therein. The Pledgor and the Secured Party hereby acknowledge and agree that the value of the Stock ("Agreed Value") shall be deemed to be (i) the IPO Price if shares are being surrendered hereunder in order to effect an adjustment in the Purchase Price and (ii) if shares are being surrendered hereunder for any other reason, the average public trading price of each share of Stock over the five (5) most recent business days falling prior to the date of delivery by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of the notice of an event requiring an Offset, as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement. Pledgor shall possess all voting rights pertaining to the Stock, so long as an Event of Offset, as hereinafter defined, has not occurred, or if an Event of Offset has allegedly occurred but is being disputed by the parties hereto prior to submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.14 of the Purchase Agreement, and Secured Party shall have no voting rights that may be presently or hereafter attributable to the Stock. In addition, so long as an Event of Offset has not occurred, or if an Event of Offset has allegedly occurred but is being disputed by the parties hereto prior to submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.14 of the Purchase Agreement, then Pledgor shall have the right to receive all dividends, if any, on the Stock, and Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all proceeds upon liquidation of the Stock, if any, as well as all other rights with respect to the Stock except for the right to transfer title thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Offset has occurred and (i) has been resolved, either by failure to timely dispute it as required by Section 10.14 of the Purchase Agreement, by agreement or by arbitration decided in favor of Secured Party (a "Resolved Event of Offset") or (ii) has been submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.14 of the Purchase Agreement which arbitration is still pending or in process (a "Continuing Event of Offset"), then Secured Party shall have the right to designate a representative or trustee to vote those shares of Stock covered by or subject to the Resolved Event of Offset or Continuing Event of Offset (the "Offset Shares"), to receive all dividends and liquidation proceeds with respect to the Offset Shares, and to receive all other rights with respect to the Offset Shares.
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.
Knowledge of the Company The term “Knowledge of the Company” shall mean the actual knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, with respect to the matter in question, and such knowledge as any of them reasonably should have obtained upon commercially reasonable inquiry of employees and contractors of the Company into the matter in question.
Knowledge of Seller Where any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement is expressly qualified by reference to knowledge, Seller confirms that it has made or caused to be made due and diligent inquiry as to the matters that are the subject of such representations and warranties.
Officer's Knowledge of Default Upon any Executive Officer of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any other obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Lender, or any event, development or occurrence which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, cause such officer or an Authorized Representative to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the nature thereof, the period of existence thereof, and what action the Borrower or any Subsidiary proposes to take with respect thereto.
Knowledge of Default It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each Lender with a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). The Agent shall also furnish the Lenders, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by the Borrower hereunder.
Pledge of Monies Held Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 3.5), Net Proceeds (as defined in Section 3.7) and condemnation awards or payments described in Section 3.6, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
Pending or Threatened Litigation There shall not be pending nor shall there be threatened any legal proceeding commenced by any governmental body, or any other person or entity, in which there is sought any order, injunction, ruling or decree by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, that would prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or that would impair materially the ability of Purchaser to realize the benefits of such transaction.
