7.3 The powers conferred on the Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Shares and Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

(i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Shares and Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or

(ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Shares and Pledged Collateral.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledgee shall not be under any obligation to notify the Pledgor prior to the sale of the Pledged Shares or to seek the authorisation of, or an order from, any court or judicial or similar authority or to make any publication prior to such sale.

8.2 All cash proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of the Pledged Shares shall be applied to the costs of such sale and to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

8.3 Any surplus held by the Pledgee after satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

8.4 If any of the Secured Obligations is due and payable but not paid or discharged on demand or if the Pledgor has breached any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in the case of any other Event of Default, the Pledgee may appoint any person to be a receiver and manager of the Pledged Shares and/or Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and may in like manner from time to time remove any receiver and manager so appointed and appoint another in his stead.

8.5 A receiver and manager so appointed shall be the agent of the Pledgor and the Pledgor shall alone be liable for his acts and defaults and remuneration and he shall have authority and be entitled to exercise the powers hereinafter set forth and to do all such acts and things which a receiver and manager lawfully may or can do which may be necessary for or considered to be incidental or conductive to the carrying on of the business of the Pledgor including the raising of money with the consent of the Pledgee on the security of the Pledged Shares and/or Pledged Collateral or without security and generally to take possession of and collect all or part of the Pledged Shares and/or Pledged Collateral and for that purpose to take proceedings in the name of the Pledgor to sell all or any part of the Pledged Shares and/or Pledged Collateral and to make any compromises.

8.6 No purchaser, mortgagor, mortgagee or other person or company dealing with the Pledgee or any receiver and manager or with their attorneys or agents shall be concerned to enquire whether the powers exercised or purported to be exercised have been exercisable or whether any money remains due on the security of this Agreement or as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall have been made or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of such sale, calling in, collection or conversion or to see to the application of any money paid to the Pledgee or such receiver and manager and in the absence of mala fides on the part of such purchaser, mortgagor, mortgagee or other person or company, such dealing shall be deemed in so far as regards the safety and protection of such purchaser, mortgagor, mortgagee person or company to be within the powers hereby conferred and to be valid and effectual accordingly.

9. Security Interests Absolute

9.1 The obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Pledgor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Credit Parties or any other party or whether the Pledgor is joined in any such action or actions.
