The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Ownership Interests if it has maintained possession thereof, if the Ownership Interests are accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that the Pledgee shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Ownership Interests, whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Ownership Interests. 6 11. Remedies Upon an Event of Default. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (a) the Pledgee may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC and the Pledgee may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Pledgee shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. The Pledgee agrees to give 15 Business Days’ written notice to the Pledgor and the Facility Agent of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale is to be made, and the Pledgor agrees that such notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral, regardless of whether notice of sale shall have been given. The Pledgee 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. At any public sale made pursuant to this paragraph, the Pledgee may bid for or purchase the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Pledgee pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Obligations, as a credit against the purchase price therefor; and the Pledgee may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor (provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Pledgor’s right to bid for the Pledged Collateral in any public sale). As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Pledgee may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and to sell the Pledged 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; (b) the Pledgee may hold the Ownership Interests and cause the same to be registered in the Books and Records in its name or in the name of its nominee, whereupon the Pledgee or such nominee shall enjoy all the rights and benefits attributable to the ownership thereof; (c) the Pledgee may vote all or any of the Ownership Interests, act by consent in lieu of a meeting, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications with respect thereto and otherwise act as though it were the outright owner thereof and the Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee (or its successor and assign) its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to do so; (d) all payments received and amounts held or realized by the Pledgee pursuant to this Section, including any cash held by the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or 7 any part of the Pledged Collateral, shall be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8 of the Security Agreement; and (e) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Pledgee or otherwise in this Pledge Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by the Loan Documents, as applicable, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Pledgee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Pledgee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Pledgor or to be an acquiescence therein. 12. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor from the terms of this Pledge Agreement, shall, in any event, be effective unless the same shall be agreed in writing by the Pledgor and the Pledgee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 13. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices or other communications provided or permitted to be made hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement. 14.
