(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection (d) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.
Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral (i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, the Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Lender in respect of the Pledged Collateral.
(ii) The Grantor will permit the Lender or its nominee at any time after the occurrence of a Default, without notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Capital Stock or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(b) Each Grantor will cause (i) any Indebtedness for borrowed money owed to such Grantor by any Person (other than intercompany Indebtedness between Grantors and intercompany Indebtedness referred to in the following clause (ii)) having an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Dollar Amount of $5,000,000, to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note, and (ii) any intercompany Indebtedness made by such Grantor to a Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Grantor to be evidenced by (x) a duly executed global promissory note to which such Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Grantor is a signatory, or (y) at the option of the Grantor, to the extent such Indebtedness is in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Dollar Amount of $15,000,000, a duly executed promissory note; in each case (i) and (ii) that is delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by stock or security powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or transfer duly executed by the applicable Grantor and such other instruments or documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule I and made a part hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

(b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each material written notice or other material written communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Collateral.
(c) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Collateral, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or agree to any restriction with respect to any Pledged Collateral which would materially adversely affect either the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Credit Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents or the value of the Pledged Collateral, or that would result in a material violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d) Each Grantor agrees that it will assist the Administrative Agent in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law in connection with the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Pledged Collateral or any sale or transfer thereof.
(e) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests owned by a Grantor and issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement which are not certificated (the “Uncertificated Interests”), each Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that such Uncertificated Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership Agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Uncertificated Interests issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction.
Uncertificated Pledged Collateral Such Grantor will permit the Collateral Agent from time to time to cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral owned by it not represented by certificates to xxxx their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Collateral Agent granted pursuant to this Security Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor will, with respect to any such Pledged Collateral held with a securities intermediary, cause such securities intermediary to enter into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, giving the Collateral Agent Control.
Security Interests in Collateral To secure their Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Loan Parties shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, a first-priority security interest in all of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.
Sale of Pledged Collateral Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the generality of this Section and without notice, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, any holder of the Secured Obligations may in such event bid for the purchase of such securities. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed postage prepaid to such Pledgor in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Registration of Pledged Collateral Such Grantor will permit any registerable Pledged Collateral owned by it to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time at the option of the Required Secured Parties.
Retention of Pledged Collateral In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC (or any successor sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the notice requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
