cannot be waived) and Lender or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the 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 whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Pledgor, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released.

The proceeds of any collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 7(d) shall be applied by Lender pursuant to Section 7(f) hereof.
Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Lender than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
(e)Private Sale. Lender shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 7(d) hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
(f)Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by Lender under this Section 7, shall be applied by Lender:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender (including the fees and expenses of its counsel), and all third party costs and expenses made or incurred by Lender in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the secured obligations; and
Finally, to the payment to Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 7, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of Pledgor or any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.
(g)Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Pledge Agreement to Lender, Lender is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor for the purpose of, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, carrying out the provisions of this Section 7 and taking any action and executing any instruments which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as Lender shall be entitled under this Section 7 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Pledgor representing any payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
(h)Confirmation Statement; Control Agreement. To better assure the perfection of the security interest of Lender in the Pledged Interests, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, Pledgor shall send written instructions in the form of Exhibit C hereto to the Pledged Entities, and shall cause Pledged Entities to, and Pledged
12
Entities shall, deliver to Lender the Confirmation Statement and Control Agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which Pledged Entities will confirm that it has registered the pledge effected by this Pledge Agreement on its books and agrees, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to comply with the instructions of Lender in respect of the Pledged Interests without further consent of Pledgor or any other person. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, neither the written instructions nor the Confirmation Statement and Control Agreement shall be construed as expanding the rights of Lender to give instructions with respect to the Collateral beyond such rights set forth in this Pledge Agreement.
8.Termination. This Pledge Agreement shall survive the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or the other Related Documents, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Secured Obligations and other sums due under the Loan Agreement and the other Related Documents have been indefeasibly paid in full to Lender. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all secured obligations under the Loan Agreement to Lender, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate, and Lender shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of Pledgor. Lender’s obligation to so assign, transfer and deliver shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)No Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender or any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(b)Governing Law. The governing law provisions of the Loan Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Pledge Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Pledge Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
(c)Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required, permitted or desired to be given hereunder shall be given to Pledgor at the address for Borrower and in accordance with the notice provision of the Loan Agreement.
(d)Waivers, etc. The terms of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Pledgor and Lender. Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon Lender and Pledgor.
(e)Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pledgor and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender (provided, however, that Pledgor shall not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender). Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may at any time and from time to time without the consent of Pledgor, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement to any other person or entity, either
separately or together with other property of Pledgor for such purposes in connection with a transfer of Lender’s interest in the Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any assignment of the Loan in accordance with the Loan Agreement, Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all of its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement to the assignee and such assignee shall thereupon become vested with all of the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise. Each representation and agreement made by Pledgor in this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to run to Lender, and each reference in this Pledge Agreement to Lender shall be deemed to refer to Lender and each of their successors and assigns.
(f)No Liability on Part of Lender. Lender, by its acceptance of this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral and any payments on account thereof, shall not be deemed to have assumed or to have become liable for any of the obligations or liabilities of Pledgor. Lender shall not have any duty to collect any sums due in respect of any of the Collateral in its possession or control, or to enforce, protect or preserve any rights pertaining thereto, and Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Lender be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Lender shall, if requested by the payor of any revenue payment, give receipts for any payments received by Lender on account of the Collateral.
(g)Expenses, Indemnification.
(i)Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for paying: (A) all reasonable out of pocket expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Lender), in connection with (1) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement and (2) any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Pledge Agreement requested or initiated by Pledgor; (B) all costs and expenses of Lender (including reasonable counsel’s fees) in connection with any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from an Event of Default; and (C) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Pledge Agreement, or any other document referred to herein and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Pledge Agreement or any document referred to herein.
(ii)Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and its directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them arising out of or by reason of any claim of any Person (A) relating to or arising out of the acts or omissions of Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement or, after Lender has exercised any rights in accordance herewith, the Charter Documents (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified), or (B) resulting from the ownership of or security interests in any Collateral, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation or litigation or other proceedings (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified).
(h)Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Lender, Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably request in order fully to affect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement.
(i)Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
(j)Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic means, and in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Pledge Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
(k)Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Lender in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(l)Recitals. The recital and introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Pledge Agreement and shall be considered prima facie evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein.
()Gender; Number. As used in this Pledge Agreement, the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include the others, and the singular shall include the plural (and vice versa), whenever the context so requires.
(m)Reserved.
(n)Incorporation by Reference. To the extent that any provisions or defined terms contained in any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the Loan Agreement) are used herein or incorporated herein by reference, and such other Loan Document is terminated or otherwise satisfied prior to the termination of this Pledge Agreement, then, for the avoidance of doubt, such provisions and/or defined terms shall survive until the satisfaction of the Obligations without regard to the fact that the Loan Document originally containing the same has been otherwise terminated or satisfied.
15
10. Third Party Waivers.
(a)Rights of Lender. Pledgor authorizes the Lender to perform any or all of the following acts at any time in its sole discretion, all without notice to Pledgor, without affecting Pledgor’s obligations under this Pledge Agreement or any other Related Documents and without affecting the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral in favor of the Lender:
(i)Lender may take and hold security for the secured obligations, accept additional or substituted security, and subordinate, exchange, enforce, waive, release, compromise, fail to perfect and sell or otherwise dispose of any such security;
(ii)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of any security now or later to be held for the secured obligations, and Lender (or its nominees or designees) may also bid at any such sale;
(iii)Lender may apply any payments or recoveries from Pledgor, any Pledgor Affiliate or any other source, and any proceeds of any security, to the secured obligations in such manner, order and priority as the Lender may elect;
(iv)Lender may release Pledgor or any other Person from its liability for the secured obligations or any part thereof;
(v)Lender may substitute, add or release any one or more guarantors, pledgors or endorsers; and
(vi)In addition to the secured obligations, Lender may extend other credit to Pledgor or any Pledgor Affiliate, and may take and hold security for the credit so extended, all without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or under the other Related Documents and without affecting the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral hereunder or under the other Related Documents.
(b)Absolute Obligations. Pledgor expressly agrees that until all secured obligations are paid and performed in full and each and every term, covenant and condition of this Pledge Agreement and the other Related Documents is fully satisfied and performed, Pledgor shall not be released of its obligations, waivers and agreements set forth herein or in any other Loan Document nor shall the validity, enforceability or priority of the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral in favor of the Lender be affected in any manner by or because of:
(i)Any act or event which might otherwise discharge, reduce, limit or modify any Pledgor’s obligations hereunder or under the other Related Documents or the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral in favor of Lender, other than payment in full of the secured obligations;
(ii)Any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay or other act or omission of Lender or any failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against Pledgor or any other Person or any security;
(iii)Any action, omission or circumstance which might increase the likelihood that Lender might enforce the rights granted under this Pledge Agreement or under the other Related Documents or which might affect the rights or remedies of Pledgor as against any other Person; or
(iv)Any dealings occurring at any time between Pledgor or any of its Affiliates and Lender, whether relating to the secured obligations or otherwise.
Pledgor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to the performance of the obligations under this Pledge Agreement and under all other Related Documents or to the enforcement of the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral in favor of Lender based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, agreements, waivers or matters described in this subsection (other than the defense that payment has been made). It is the purpose and intent of this Pledge Agreement that the obligations of Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement and under all other Related Documents shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
(c)Pledgor’s Waivers. Pledgor waives:
(i)Any right it may have to require Lender to proceed against Pledgor or any other Person, proceed against or exhaust any security held from Pledgor or any Person, or pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power to pursue until the indefeasible payment of the Loan in full;
(ii)Any defense based on any claim that Pledgor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Pledgor or any other Person;
(iii)Any defense: (A) based on any legal disability of any other Person, (B) based on any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of the liability of any other Person to the Lender from any cause, whether consented to by the Lender or arising by operation of law, (C) arising out of or able to be asserted as a result of any case, action or proceeding before any governmental authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or relief of any other Person or any of their affiliates, or any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, marshaling of assets for creditors or other, similar arrangement in respect of its creditors generally or any substantial portion of its creditors; in each case as undertaken under any U.S. Federal or State law (each of the foregoing described in this clause (C) being referred to herein as an “Insolvency Proceeding”); or (D) arising from any rejection or disaffirmance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security held therefor, in any such Insolvency Proceeding;
(iv)Any defense based on any action taken or omitted by Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding involving any other Person, including any election to have Lender’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by Lender to any other Person in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the taking and holding by Lender of any security for any such extension of credit;
(v)Except as otherwise provided herein, all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of intention to accelerate, notices of acceleration, notices of acceptance of this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind; and
(vi)Any defense based on or arising out of any defense that Pledgor or any of its affiliates may have to the payment or performance of the Secured Obligations, other than the defense of payment of the Secured Obligations.
(d)Waiver of Subrogation and Other Rights.
(i)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Pledgor, Lender may elect to: (A) foreclose against any collateral for the Secured Obligations, (B) accept a transfer of any such collateral for the Secured Obligations in lieu of foreclosure, (C) compromise or adjust the Secured Obligations or any part thereof or make any other accommodation with Pledgor or any other Person, or (D) exercise any other remedy against Pledgor or any other Person or any collateral for the Secured Obligations. No such action by Lender shall release or limit Lender’s rights hereunder or under the other Related Documents, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Pledgor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any other Person for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Pledgor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall Pledgor be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any Collateral to be held by Lender or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of the Collateral.
Regardless of whether Pledgor may have made any payments to Lender, until repayment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Pledgor waives: (A) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity, and any other rights to collect reimbursement from any other Person on account of the Collateral encumbered by this Pledge Agreement, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise; (B) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against any Person granting collateral for the Secured Obligations; and (C) all rights to participate in any Collateral now or later to be held by Lender.
