or any sale or transfer of the Pledged Collateral;
(c) Each Pledgor has, and will take all commercially reasonable actions to defend, the
title to the Pledged Collateral and the Liens of the Agent in the Pledged Collateral against
the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens;
(d) Each Pledgor will, upon obtaining ownership of any Equity Interests, promissory
notes or instruments of a Pledged Entity otherwise required to be pledged to the Agent
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Equity Interests, notes or instruments are not
already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after
obtaining ownership) deliver to the Agent an amendment to this Agreement, duly executed by
such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II hereto (a “Pledge
Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Equity Interests, notes or instruments
pursuant to which such Pledgor shall pledge to the Agent all of such additional Equity
Interests, notes or instruments. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Agent to attach each
Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Indebtedness listed on any
Pledge Amendment delivered to the Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered
Pledged Collateral; and
(e) No Pledgor shall (i) cause or permit any of the Pledged Collateral to be held or
maintained in the form of a security entitlement or credited to any securities account, (ii)

(other than any such Equity Interests that constitute part of the Pledged Collateral that as
of the date hereof are evidenced by a certificate, instrument or other writing).
(f) To the extent that any portion of the Pledged Collateral may now or hereafter
consist of uncertificated securities within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, each Pledgor
irrevocably authorizes and instructs each Pledged Entity whose Equity Interests constitute a
part of the Pledged Collateral to comply with any instruction received by such Pledged Entity
from Agent with respect to such Pledged Collateral without any other or further instructions
from or consent of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each such Pledged Entity shall
be fully protected in so complying; provided, however, that Agent agrees that
it will not issue or deliver any such instructions except upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.
(g) Within thirty (30) days after the request therefor by Agent, each Pledgor shall

Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor to sign an Acknowledgment and Consent by Issuers of
Pledged Shares in substantially similar form to that attached to this Agreement and otherwise
in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
7. Pledgor’s Rights. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and until written notice shall be given to such Pledgor in accordance with Section
17 hereof:
7
(a) Each Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents
with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any Loan
Documents; provided, however that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be
given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of
the Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral (unless and to the extent permitted by the
Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or consented to by the Required Lenders) or which
would authorize, effect or consent to any of the following (unless and to the extent
permitted by the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or consented to by the Required
Lenders):
(i) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;
(ii) the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;
(iii) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the
assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of the Agent;
(iv) any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the
authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the issuance of any additional shares
of its capital stock, or other Equity Interests, as applicable; or
(v) the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the capital stock, or
other Equity Interests, as applicable, of a Pledged Entity; and
(b) (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect, receive and
retain for its own use all dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect of the
Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness to the extent not in violation of the Loan Agreement
or any other Loan Document other than any and all: (A) dividends, distributions and interest
paid or payable in Pledged Shares, Pledged Indebtedness or other securities or instruments
distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; (B) dividends and
other distributions paid or payable in Pledged Shares, Pledged Indebtedness or other
securities or instruments distributed in respect of any Pledged Shares in connection with a
partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (C) Pledged Shares, Pledged
Indebtedness or other securities or instruments paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in
respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral;
provided, however, that until actually paid, all rights to such
distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and
(ii) All dividends, distributions and interest (other than such dividends,
distributions and interest as are permitted to be paid to any Pledgor in accordance with
Section 7(b)(i) hereof), whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Agent to
hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for
the benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor,
and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement).
8
8. Defaults and Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and
concurrently with written notice to each applicable Pledgor, the Agent (personally or
through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or
in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates
or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other
rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after
ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a
private sale is to take place (which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable)
the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the
Pledged Collateral as though the Agent were the outright owner thereof, each Pledgor hereby
irrevocably constituting and appointing the Agent as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such
Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so, and which appointment shall remain in
effect until the Termination Date; provided, however, the Agent shall not
have any duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for
any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so. Any sale shall be made at a public or
private sale at the Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of
sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Agent may
deem fair, and the Agent may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of each
Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the
Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion,
it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance and, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at
sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any
officer or agent of the Agent.
(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part
of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to
discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for
sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would
indicate to the Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the
Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured
Obligations, the Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of
said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement
of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given,
any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however that any sale or
sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to each applicable
Pledgor.
(c) If, at any time when the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the
whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part
thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the
“Act”), the Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements
of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and
under such circumstances as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the
other requirements of this Section 8, and shall not be required to effect such
registration or to cause the same to be
9
effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, the
Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to
make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of
registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under
said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible
purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an
accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is
purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as
provided above in this Section 8, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be
freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute)
at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then the Agent shall
not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its
discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale
hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:
(i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to
bid or purchase at any such sale;
(ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates
representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on
future transfer thereof;
(iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or
purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information
about each applicable Pledged Entity and such Person’s intentions as to the holding
of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a
view to the distribution thereof; and
(iv) as to such other matters as the Agent may, in its discretion, deem
necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to
register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state
securities laws.
(d) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any
or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof. Each Pledgor also acknowledges that
any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than
if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Pledgor agrees
that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary
to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or
under applicable state securities laws, even if each applicable Pledgor and the Pledged
Entity would agree to do so.
(e) Each Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will not at
any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay,
10
extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent
or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of
the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and
each Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Each
Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power or remedy of the Agent
provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agent of any one
or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent to
exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or
made upon any Pledgor by the Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a
waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any
power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against such
Pledgor in any respect.
(f) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties,
that the Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect
of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this
Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against each Pledgor, and each Pledgor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific
performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then
due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing
such obligations or that the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash.
9. Waiver. No delay on the Agent’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option
or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by
the Agent with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall
constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise
any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or
prejudice the Agent’s rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.
10. Assignment. The Agent may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument evidencing
all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the Loan
Agreement, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
11. Termination. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, the Agent shall deliver
to each Pledgor the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor at the time subject to this
Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of
the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of such Pledgor’s obligations
hereunder shall at such time terminate.
12. Lien Absolute. All rights of the Agent hereunder, and all obligations of each
Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any Loan Documents or
any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
11
consent to any departure from the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any other
agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the
Secured Obligations;
(d) the insolvency of any Borrower or any Pledgor, or
(e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Pledgor (other than the payment in full of the Borrowers’ Obligations and
the Secured Obligations and the expiration of the Lenders’ Commitments to make advances under
the Loan Agreement).
13. Release. Each Pledgor consents and agrees that the Agent and the other Secured
Parties may at any time, or from time to time, in their discretion:
(a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of
payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations; and
(b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Agent in
connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations, all in such manner and upon such terms
as the Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from any Pledgor, it
being hereby agreed that each Pledgor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement,
irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such
change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and
notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate
principal amount thereof set forth in the Loan Agreement, or any other agreement governing
any Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured
Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and
in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon such Pledgor. No act
or omission of any kind on the Agent’s part shall in any event affect or impair this
Agreement.
14. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue
to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for
liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of any Pledgor’s or a Pledged Entity’s assets, and this Agreement shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in
amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations,
whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, 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 Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
15. Miscellaneous.
12
(a) The Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties
hereunder.
(b) Each Pledgor agrees to promptly reimburse the Agent for actual out-of-pocket
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Agent in
connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement.
(c) Neither the Agent, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents
or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(d) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON EACH PLEDGOR AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
(INCLUDING A DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF OF SUCH PLEDGOR), AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT
OF, AND BE ENFORCEABLE BY, THE AGENT AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE (BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF
LAW PRINCIPLES), BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAW RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS, AND NONE OF THE
TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED OR AMENDED EXCEPT IN
WRITING DULY SIGNED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE AGENT AND THE APPLICABLE PLEDGOR.
(e) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY
UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN OR WITH DIRECT OR INDIRECT JURISDICTION OVER THE
WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA OR IN ANY NORTH CAROLINA STATE COURT SITTING IN
MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF
THE PLEDGORS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PLEDGORS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS
OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY
PLEDGOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR
APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, AND
(2) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE
JURISDICTIONS.
(f) EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY
13
AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO SUCH PLEDGOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH
HEREIN AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE
SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF AGENT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(g) EACH PLEDGOR AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST
ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT
TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PLEDGOR AND THE AGENT AGREES THAT ANY
SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT
LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER
PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
16. Severability. If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined
to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the
operation of or effect those portions of this Agreement which are valid.
17. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that
any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be
given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties
desires to give or serve upon any other a communication with respect to this Agreement, each such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing
and shall be given in accordance with Section 15.9 of the Loan Agreement.
18. Section Titles. The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be
without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement
between the parties hereto.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which
shall, collectively and separately, constitute one agreement.
20. Benefit of the Agent. All security interests granted or contemplated hereby shall
be for the benefit of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or
payments
14
realized from the Pledged Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Secured
Obligations.
21. Amendment and Restatement.
(a) This Agreement amends and restates the Original Pledge Agreement. All rights, benefits,
indebtedness, interests, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Original Pledge
Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with
the Original Pledge Agreement (collectively, the “Original Pledge Documents”) are hereby
renewed, amended, restated and superseded in their entirety according to the terms and provisions
set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement does not constitute, nor
shall it result in, a waiver of, or release, discharge or forgiveness of, any amount payable
pursuant to the Original Pledge Documents or any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any
Pledgor thereunder, all of which are renewed and continued and are hereafter payable and to be
performed in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither this Agreement
nor any of the other Loan Documents extinguishes the indebtedness or liabilities outstanding in
connection with the Original Pledge Documents, nor do they constitute a novation with respect
thereto.
(b) All security interests, pledges, assignments, and other Liens previously granted by each
Pledgor pursuant to the Original Pledge Documents are hereby renewed and continued, and all such
security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens shall remain in full force and effect as
security for the Secured Obligations.
