as of December 22, 2004, is entered into by and between ROYAL STREET COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Grantor”), and METROPCS WIRELESS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Lender”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
even date herewith, by and between Grantor and Lender (as the same may be amended from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”), Lender has agreed to make one or more loans to Grantor in
accordance with the terms therewith;
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and to continue to
make the Loans, and in consideration therefor, the Grantor has agreed to execute and deliver this
Agreement to amend and restate that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of December 22, 2004 (the
“Original Pledge Agreement”) and that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of January 24, 2005 (the
“Existing Pledge Agreement”), each between Grantor and Lender (as successor lender to Holdings),
pursuant to which Grantor has granted to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in
all of the membership or other equity interests, now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor or
in which the Grantor has or hereafter acquires any interest (the “Pledged Securities”), in each
Holding Subsidiary to secure Grantor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of any further Loans that the Grantor
execute and deliver this Agreement to, among other things, amend and restate the Original Pledge
Agreement and the Existing Pledge Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and provisions set forth herein, and
for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree to amend and restate the Original Pledge Agreement and the Existing Pledge
Agreement and further agree as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Credit
Agreement that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them therein, and the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Collateral” shall mean the Pledged Securities, including Pledged Securities in which the
Grantor hereafter acquires any interest, and all proceeds thereof.
“Obligations” shall mean all indebtedness, obligations, fees and liabilities of any kind of
the Grantor to the Lender under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Note (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2. PLEDGE. Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, collaterally
assigns and grants to Lender a continuing lien on and security interest in and to the Collateral
(the “Security Interest”) to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Security
Interest is a first priority Lien on the Collateral effective as of the date hereof without the
need to execute any further instruments, agreements or documents other than as specifically set
forth herein.
3. CONTINUING
SECURITY. This Agreement shall operate as a continuing security
between Lender and Grantor:
a. irrespective of any sum or sums which may be paid to the credit of any account of
Grantor with Lender;
b. notwithstanding the appointment, retirement or removal, at any time, of a receiver
for Grantor;
c. notwithstanding the exercise by Lender or a receiver of any power conferred by this
Agreement, by any other agreement or document or by law; and
d. notwithstanding any settlement of account or any other matter or thing whatsoever;
and shall remain in full force and effect and extend to cover all of the Obligations until a
final release of this Agreement has been executed by Lender.
4. CERTIFICATES,
VOTING, ETC. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender any and all certificates representing all of the Collateral with a
transfer executed in blank. If at any time, any Holding Subsidiary shall issue any additional or
substitute units, shares of stock, or any other instruments evidencing an interest in or an
obligation of such Holding Subsidiary to Grantor in respect of the Pledged Securities, Grantor
shall promptly pledge, mortgage and deposit with Lender such additional certificates, instruments
or documents as additional security for the Obligations, all of which additional security shall
constitute Collateral (and shall be included within the definition of “Collateral” hereunder). With
respect to any Collateral that is an “uncertificated security” for purposes of the Code (other than
any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account under the control of the Lender),
Grantor shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Lender as
the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply
with the Lender’s instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without further consent
by such Grantor. Lender shall hold the Collateral solely as security for the payment and
performance of the Obligations. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Grantor shall have the right to vote the Collateral on all questions on which the Collateral
entitles Grantor to vote and, if necessary, upon written request of Grantor, Lender shall execute
due and timely proxies, powers of attorney and consents in favor of Grantor as necessary to
facilitate such voting; provided however, that Grantor shall not vote the Collateral in support of
any proposal or in any other manner which is inconsistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or which is otherwise inconsistent with the Grantor’s
full and timely performance of the Obligations.
5. DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Grantor shall have the right to receive and to retain all cash dividends and other
cash distributions which are paid on account of the Collateral.
6. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Grantor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of,
grant any option with respect to, or create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any pledge,
hypothecation, assignment, deposit arrangement, encumbrance, lien (statutory or otherwise),
preference, priority or other security agreement of any kind or nature whatsoever on (including,
without limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, any financing or
similar statement or notice filed under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction) all or any
portion of the Collateral.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender
as follows:
a. Grantor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances, except liens granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement,
and full power, authority and legal right to pledge such Collateral to Lender as provided
herein;
b. The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Collateral pursuant to Section 2 will
create a valid, perfected lien on and a valid perfected first priority security interest in
the Collateral in favor of Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York
(the “UCC”), subject to no prior lien (whether consensual, nonconsensual, statutory or
otherwise) and to no agreement purporting to grant any third party any security interest or
other interest in any of the Collateral; no additional actions by any entity are necessary
to create or perfect the Security Interest; and
c. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Grantor will not (a)
contravene any law, statute, rule or regulations, or any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) conflict or be inconsistent with or result
in any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions or provisions of or constitute a
default under, any indenture, credit agreement or other agreement, contract or instrument to
which Grantor is a party, or (c) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in a breach of
the terms of the Grantor’s organizational documents.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder:
a. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement or the Note; or
b. [Intentionally Removed].
9. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
after any applicable cure period, and at any time thereafter, Lender may (but shall not be required
to) take any or all of the following actions simultaneously or in any order which it may choose:
a. The Lender may from time to time take whatever action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or desirable in order to collect the monies payable hereunder or secured hereby or to
enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant hereunder;
b. The Lender may foreclose its security interest in any of the Collateral in any way
permitted by law; and the Lender may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its sole discretion,
without notice or demand (except such notice as may be specifically required by law) and with or
without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at one or more public or private sales, at any time or place, at
such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as the Lender
may elect. In the exercise of such remedy, the Lender may sell all of the Collateral as a unit
even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amounts remaining unpaid on the
Obligations. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Lender is authorized at any sale
or other disposition of the Collateral, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict (with
respect to any securities that are part of the Collateral) the prospective bidders or purchasers
thereof to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account
for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of the Collateral. At any
such public sale the Lender may bid for and become the purchaser of all or any part of the
Collateral, and such sale or sales may be held without demand of performance, notice of intention
to sell, the time or place of sale or any other matter, except for such notice as may be
specifically required by law; and the purchaser at any such sale or other disposition shall
thereafter hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of the Grantor of
whatsoever kind, including any right of redemption of the Grantor, all such rights being hereby
expressly waived and released by the Grantor to the extent permitted by law;
c. The Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement
and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
The Grantor hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of any of the Collateral by any
court having jurisdiction. In any action hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the receiver.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lender
shall be entitled to apply, without notice to the Grantor, any cash or cash items constituting
Collateral in its possession to payment of the Obligations;
d. The Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to apply for and have a receiver
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights
and remedies hereunder in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the
operation of the business of Grantor and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the
same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including but not
limited to the compensation of the receiver, until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral
shall be finally made and
consummated. Lender and Grantor acknowledge and agree that in connection with any exercise
by the Lender of its rights hereunder to dispose of or operate under the station covered
hereby, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or approval of certain governmental
authorities. Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to
this Agreement which requires any consent or approval of any governmental authority. Grantor
will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications,
certificates and other documents which may reasonably be required to obtain such approval or
consent. Grantor shall cooperate in good faith with Lender and any purchaser of the
Collateral in obtaining any such approvals or consents;
e. The Lender may sell its interest in the Collateral in accordance with any Applicable
Law. Such Collateral or any interest therein may be sold upon such terms and in as many lots
as the person conducting the sale may, in his sole discretion, elect. No readvertisements
of any sale shall be required if the sale is adjourned by announcement, at the time or place
set therefor, of the date, time or place to which the same is to be adjourned;
f. The Lender may, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, exercise any and all
rights of conversion, exchange or subscription and any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any of the Collateral, as if the Lender were the absolute owner thereof,
including (without limitation) the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
readjustment of any subsidiary of Grantor;
g. The Lender may exercise any remedies available to a secured party under the UCC,
regardless of whether or not the UCC actually applies;
h. The Lender may vote or otherwise exercise any rights accruing to the owner
of the Collateral without notice to or consent of Grantor;
i. The Lender may commence and prosecute an action, at law or in equity, in
any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking money damages, injunctive or declaratory
relief any other relief available under applicable law, and take all such actions as may be
necessary or desirable to enforce any order or judgment entered in connection with such
action; and/or
j. The Lender may exercise any other remedies afforded to Lender pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
All of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, under the Credit Agreement and under any and
all other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be enforceable
alternatively, successively or concurrently as Lender may, in its sole discretion, deem expedient.
Lender shall have no obligation to preserve rights in the Collateral or xxxxxxxx any of the
Collateral for the benefit of any person or entity.
10. EXPENSES. Grantor shall pay, when due, any and all reasonable fees, taxes or
other charges imposed in connection with the Security Interest including, without limitation, any
fees imposed in connection with recordation of instruments necessary or desirable in order to
reflect, effectuate or release the Security Interest.
11. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any proceeds received from the exercise of any remedy
hereunder, after deducting therefrom any and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in securing
possession of any Collateral, in shipping and storing the Collateral, in preparing the Collateral
for sale or otherwise dealing with Collateral prior to any sale or other disposition thereof and in
connection with the sale or other disposition thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and brokers’ commissions), shall be applied toward the payment of
any and all amounts due under or with respect to the Obligations, including interest, and all other
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lender in connection with this Agreement which are
then due and payable, in such order and amounts as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.
If such net proceeds should be insufficient to pay the same and a deficiency shall result, the
Grantor shall nevertheless remain liable for such deficiency; and if such proceeds should be more
than sufficient to pay the same, then in case of a surplus, such surplus shall be accounted for
and. if any amounts due under the Obligations remain outstanding, retained by the Lender, who shall
hold the same as security for the payment of the Obligations; otherwise, such surplus shall be paid
over to the Grantor or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be
entitled thereto.
