Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Securities or Intercompany Notes listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Administrative Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.
Pledge of Securities Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, Section 2(g) hereof; provided that an Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2(g) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Buyer.

The Debt Securities Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series.

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 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.
Subsidiary Guarantees Subject to Section 1301, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture, and each Subsidiary Guarantor similarly guarantees to the Trustee the payment of all amounts owing to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of such Security or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release, amendment, waiver or indulgence granted to the Company or any other guarantor or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other guarantee of all or any of the Securities of such series or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such release, amendment, waiver or indulgence shall, without the consent of such Subsidiary Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any collateral, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in such Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Securities of a series, to collect interest on the Securities of a series, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Securities of a series, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities upon which its Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the relevant series issued hereunder shall have been paid in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes or is required to make any payment in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to seek contribution from the other Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of contribution until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the relevant series issued hereunder shall have been paid in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities of a series, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Holder of the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Pledge of Additional Stock and Evidence of Indebtedness (a) Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents or with respect to which, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent (confirmed in writing by notice to the Borrower), the cost or other consequences (including any adverse tax consequences) of doing so shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom, the Borrower will cause (i) all certificates representing Stock and Stock Equivalents of any Subsidiary (other than (x) any Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents and (y) any Stock and Stock Equivalents issued by any Subsidiary for so long as such Subsidiary does not (on a consolidated basis with its Restricted Subsidiaries) have property, plant and equipment with a book value in excess of $10,000,000 or a contribution to Consolidated EBITDA for any four fiscal quarter period that includes any date on or after the Original Closing Date in excess of $10,000,000) held directly by the Borrower or any Guarantor, (ii) all evidences of Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 received by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors in connection with any disposition of assets pursuant to Section 10.4(b) and (iii) any promissory notes executed after the Original Closing Date evidencing Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is owing to the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case, to be delivered to the Collateral Agent as security for the Obligations under the Pledge Agreement. (b) The Borrower agrees that all Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is owing to any Credit Party shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes.
Trust Preferred Securities The Company has performed, or has caused each Company Trust to perform, all of the obligations required to be performed by it and is not in default under the terms of the Company Trust Debentures or the Company Trust Preferred Securities or any agreements related thereto.
Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Notes This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of all Commitments, (b) be binding upon the Grantor, its successors, transferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note or Credit Extension held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Security Agreement) or otherwise, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer, and to the provisions of Article XIII of the Credit Agreement. Upon the payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of all Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Grantor's sole expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Upon any sale or other transfer of Collateral permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, the security interest created hereunder in such Collateral (but not in the proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to be automatically released and the Collateral Agent will, at the Grantor's sole expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.
