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.
Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral (a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.
Distributions on Pledged Collateral So long as the Purchase Contract Agent is the registered owner of the Pledged Preferred Securities, it shall receive all payments thereon. If the Pledged Preferred Securities are reregistered, such that the Collateral Agent becomes the registered holder, all payments of the Stated Amount of or, if applicable, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, or cash distributions on, the Pledged Preferred Securities or on the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and all payments of the principal of, or cash distributions on, any Pledged Treasury Securities received by the Collateral Agent that are properly payable hereunder shall be paid by the Collateral Agent by wire transfer in same day funds:
Transfer of Pledged Securities All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities shall be delivered to and held pursuant hereto by the Administrative Agent or a Person designated by the Administrative Agent and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, and accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps to effect the pledge of the Pledged Securities to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, all Pledged Securities must be delivered or transferred in such manner as to permit the Administrative Agent to be a “protected purchaser” to the extent of its security interest as provided in Section 8.303 of the UCC (if the Administrative Agent otherwise qualifies as a protected purchaser). During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Securities, subject only to the revocable rights of the relevant Grantor specified in Section 6.03. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
Subsequent Changes Affecting Pledged Collateral Each Pledgor represents and warrants that it has made its own arrangements for keeping itself informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including, but not limited to, rights to convert, rights to subscribe, payment of dividends, cash distributions or other distributions, reorganizations or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and each Pledgor agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to inform the Pledgors of any such changes or potential changes or to take any action or omit to take any action with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice and at its option, transfer or register the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof into its or its nominee’s name with or without any indication that such Pledged Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
Description of Pledged Collateral (a) The Pledged Collateral is described as follows and on any separate schedules at any time furnished by Pledgor to Secured Party (which schedules are hereby deemed part of this Agreement):
Transfers of Pledged Collateral No Pledgor shall sell, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder except as permitted by the Credit Agreement.
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.
Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein materially adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise materially impair or conflict with such Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral (i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, such Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral owned by it 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 Administrative Agent in respect of such Pledged Collateral.
