(i) instruct the Obligor or Obligors on the Securities or any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such instrument, agreement or obligation directly to or as directed by Pledgee;
(ii) cause all book entries in the records of Intermediary or Federal Reserve Bank with respect to the Securities to be changed or modified to show Pledgee or a designee of Pledgee as the record owner of the Securities;
(iii) exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Pledged Collateral;
(iv) seek specific performance of, or enjoin actions in violation of, any party’s obligations to Pledgee under the Defeasance Documents; and
(v) exercise all other available rights, privileges and remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and may exercise such rights and remedies either in the name of Pledgee or in the name of Pledgor for the use and benefit of Pledgee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(c) The proceeds of the exercise by Pledgee of any remedy hereunder shall be paid to Pledgee and applied, in such order of priority and amounts as Pledgee in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any suit and of all proper compensation, expenses, liabilities and advances, including expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, owed to, incurred by, or made by Pledgee and all taxes, assessments or liens superior to the lien hereof; to the payment of all amounts due and owing in respect of the Secured Obligations; to the payment of the expenses of the Pledgee or Servicer or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to its obligations thereunder; and the balance, if any, to Pledgor or to another Person lawfully entitled thereto as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Securities are sold on a recognized market and, accordingly, Pledgee need not furnish Pledgor with notice of its intention to sell the Securities. If, however, applicable law requires such notice, then upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgee may, upon ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to Pledgor of the time and place, (except as provided to the contrary in the final sentence of this paragraph), sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof that shall then be in, or shall thereafter come into, the possession, custody or control of Pledgee or any of its agents, at such place or places as Pledgee deems appropriate, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery, at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or required by applicable statute, and cannot be waived), and Pledgee or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Pledged Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of any kind, including any right of equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise) of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives and releases any such demand of performance, notice (other than the notice set forth above and any non-waiveable statutory notice) and right of equity of redemption. Pledgee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 9(d) shall be applied in accordance with Section 9(c) hereof.
(e) Private Sale. Pledgee shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with the UCC. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral may have been sold at any such private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Pledgee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
Section 10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) No failure on the part of Pledgee to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of Pledgee in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(b) In the event Pledgee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Pledgee, then and in every such case, Pledgor, Pledgee and each other party to any of the Defeasance Documents shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Pledgee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 11. Pledgee and Servicer May Perform; Pledgee and Servicer Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
If Pledgor fails to do any act or thing that it has covenanted to do hereunder or if any warranty on the part of Pledgor contained herein shall be breached and such breach continues beyond any applicable grace period, Pledgee or Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to), upon prior written notice to Pledgor specifying the action to be taken, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose. Any and all amounts so expended by Pledgee or Servicer (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements) shall be paid by Pledgor promptly upon demand therefor, with interest at the default rate specified in the Note, during the period from the date on which such payment is made to and including the date of repayment. Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee and Servicer and appoints Pledgee and Servicer as its attorneys-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in Pledgee’s or Servicer’s reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which is consistent and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Defeasance Documents and which Pledgee or Servicer may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Defeasance Documents. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Pledgor hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 11.
Section 12. Modification in Writing.
This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Pledgor or Pledgee, but only by an agreement in writing and signed by Pledgor, Pledgee, and, with respect to any modification to any of Sections 7, 8, 9(b), 12, 16, 22 and 25, the Intermediary. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by Pledgor from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or the other Defeasance Documents, no notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 13. Termination; Release.
When all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied, performed in full, and released, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement or any release of Pledged Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Defeasance Documents, Pledgee shall upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of Pledgor forthwith assign, transfer and deliver, and shall direct Intermediary, to assign, transfer and deliver, to Pledgor against receipt and without express or implied recourse to or warranty by Pledgee (i) such of the Pledged Collateral to be released as may be in possession of Pledgee or Intermediary and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (ii) proper instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the termination of this Agreement or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.
Section 14. Notices.
All notices or other communications hereunder by any party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be delivered by first class certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by nationally-recognized commercial overnight courier. Such notices or communications shall be deemed to be received by the addressee on the third (3rd) day following the day such notice is deposited with the United States postal service first class certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or on the first (1st) day after deposit with such overnight courier, in either case addressed to the address set forth below for the party to whom such notice is to be given, or to such other address as Pledgor, Pledgee, Servicer or Intermediary, as the case may be, shall in like manner designate in writing.
