In furtherance of the foregoing and to facilitate the delivery of the Shares to the holders of Trust Securities, it is understood and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agreed that: (i) the Shares are customarily sold on a recognized market and, accordingly, pursuant to Section 9-610(c)(2) of the UCC the Collateral Agent shall have the right to effectuate the foregoing by purchasing the Shares at a private disposition and may credit bid some or all of Pledgor’s payment and delivery obligations under the Contract in connection with any such private disposition, (ii) for purposes of any such sale, it will be commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent to utilize the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such purchase in establishing the purchase price of the Shares at such private sale and (iii) as the Shares are customarily sold on a recognized market, pursuant to Section 9-611(d) of the UCC no prior notice of such sale shall be required; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall give Pledgor prompt written notice following any such sale. (b) In addition, if an Acceleration upon Event of Default shall have occurred, the Collateral Agent may, subject to Section 7.1(a), exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised), and, in addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and without being required to give any notice (except as provided in this Agreement or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law), may: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting of Shares or Marketable Securities or other Exchange Property (but not, in any case, in excess of the total number or amount of such Exchange Securities or Exchange Property deliverable by Pledgor under the Contract at such time, with the remainder released to Pledgor) to, or upon the order of, Purchaser on or after the date of such Acceleration upon Event of Default, whereupon Purchaser shall hold such Shares or Marketable Securities or other Exchange Property absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind (other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, Permitted Transfer Restrictions or Liens created by the constituent documents of the issuer of any securities forming part of the Exchange Property), including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be impermissible or insufficient to satisfy in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for Cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind (other than any restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, Permitted Transfer Restrictions or Liens created by the constituent documents of the issuer of any securities forming part of the Exchange Property), including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Contract, the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies under this Section 7.1 and Section 2.1 shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(c) of the Contract mutatis mutandis.
