shall
become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including,
without limitation,
any
certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any

with
any reorganization, merger or consolidation), or any options
or
rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for
any
of the Pledged
Shares or
otherwise, Pledgor
agrees,
in each case, to accept the same as Pledgee’s
agent
and to hold the same in trust
for
Pledgee,
and to
deliver the same promptly (but in any event within three days) to Pledgee
in
the
exact form received, with the endorsement of Pledgor

3
(a) So
long
as no Event
of
Default (for
purposes of this Agreement,
as
defined in the Note)
has
occurred and is continuing, Pledgor
shall
be
entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof,
including,
without limitation,
Section
8 below)
to
exercise its voting and other consensual rights with respect to the
Pledged
Shares and
otherwise exercise the incidents of ownership thereof in any manner not
inconsistent with this Agreement,
the
Note,
the
Securities
Agreement,
the
Guaranty
and
the
other documents executed in relation to the Loan
(collectively,
the “Transaction
Documents”).
Pledgor
hereby
grants to Pledgee
or
its
nominee, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting and corporate rights
relating to the Pledged
Shares in
any
instance, provided such proxy shall be effective, at the discretion of
Pledgee,
only
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of
Default. Upon
the
request of Pledgee
at
any
time, Pledgor
agrees
to
deliver to Pledgee
such
further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies
to vote the Pledged
Shares as
Pledgee
may
request.
(b) So
long
as no Event
of
Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor
shall
be
entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions made in respect of
the
Pledged
Shares,
to the
extent permitted to be made pursuant to the terms of the Note.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of
Default,
in the
event that Pledgor,
as
record and beneficial owner of the Pledged
Shares,
shall
have received or shall have become entitled to receive, any cash dividends
or
other distributions in the ordinary course, Pledgor
shall
deliver to Pledgee,
and
Pledgee
shall
be
entitled to receive and retain, for the benefit of Pledgee,
all
such cash or other distributions as additional security for the Liabilities.
(c) Subject
to any sale or other disposition by Pledgee
of
the
Pledged
Shares,
any
other Pledged
Collateral or
other
property pursuant to this Agreement,
upon
the indefeasible full payment in cash, satisfaction and termination of all
of
the Liabilities
and
the
termination of this Agreement
pursuant
to Section
11 hereof
and of the
liens
and security interests hereby
granted, the Pledged
Shares,
the
other Pledged
Collateral and
any
other property then held as part of the Pledged
Collateral in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
shall
be
returned to Pledgor
or
to
such other persons or entities as shall be legally entitled
thereto.
(d) Pledgor
shall
cause all Pledged
Shares to
be
certificated at all times while this Agreement
is
in
effect.
6. Rights
of Pledgee. Pledgee
shall
not
be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Liabilities
or
any
collateral security or guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay
in so doing, nor shall Pledgee
be
under
any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any or all
of
the Pledged
Shares held
by
Pledgee
hereunder
may, if an Event
of
Default has
occurred and is continuing, without notice, be registered in the name of
Pledgee
or
its
nominee, and Pledgee
or
its
nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights
at any meeting with respect to any Pledge
Entity and
exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other
rights, privileges or options
pertaining
to any of the Pledged
Shares as
if it
were the absolute owner thereof,
including,
without limitation,
the
right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of
the
Pledged
Shares upon,
the
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment
with respect to any Pledge
Entity or
upon
the exercise by any Pledge
Entity,
Pledgor
or
Pledgee
of
any
right,
privilege or
option
pertaining to any of the Pledged
Shares,
and in
connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged
Shares with
any
committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
upon
such terms and conditions as Pledgee
may
reasonably determine, all without liability except to account for property
actually received by Pledgee,
but
Pledgee
shall
have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or
options
and
shall
not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing.
4
7. Remedies. Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of
Default,
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 under the Uniform
Commercial Code (“UCC”)
in
effect
in the
State
of
New York from
time
to time, whether or not the UCC
applies
to the affected Pledged
Collateral (or
the
Uniform
Commercial Code as
in
effect in any other relevant jurisdiction). Pledgee
also,
without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private
sale) to or upon Pledgor
or
any
other person or entity (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or
notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Pledged
Collateral,
or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith date and otherwise fill in the blanks on
any
assignments
separate from certificates or stock power or
otherwise sell, assign, give an option or options
to
purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said
Pledged
Collateral,
or any
part thereof, in one or more portions at one or more public or private sales
or
dispositions, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Pledgee’s
offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee
may
deem
advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for any combination of cash
and/or securities or other property or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk, with the right to Pledgee
upon
any
such sale, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said
Pledged
Collateral so
sold,
free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor,
which
right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released. Pledgee
shall
apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization, sale or disposition, after deducting all costs and expenses of
every kind incurred therein or incidental to the safekeeping of any and all
of
the Pledged
Collateral or
in any
way relating to the rights of Pledgee
hereunder,
including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Liabilities,
in such
order as Pledgee
may
elect. Pledgor
shall
remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Only
after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Pledgee
of
any
other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation,
Section
9-608 of the UCC,
need
Pledgee
account
for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor.
Pledgor
agrees
that Pledgee
will
give
reasonable notice (such reasonable notice to be determined by Pledgee
in
its
sole and absolute discretion) of the time and place of any public sale or of
the
time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place.
No notification need be given to Pledgor
if
it has
signed after default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to
notification of sale or other intended disposition.
8. No
Disposition, Etc. Pledgor
agrees
that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of,
or
grant any option with respect to, the Pledged
Shares or
any
other Pledged
Collateral,
nor
will Pledgor
create,
incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security
interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the
Pledged
Shares or
any
other Pledged
Collateral,
or any
interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security
interest of Pledgee
provided
for by this Agreement
and
the
Security
Agreement.
(a) Pledgor
recognizes
that Pledgee
may
be
unable to effect a public sale or disposition (including,
without limitation,
any
disposition in connection with a merger of a Pledge
Entity)
of any
or all the Pledged
Shares by
reason
of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933
Act”),
and
applicable state
securities laws,
but may
be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or dispositions thereof
to a
restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things,
to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with
a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor
acknowledges
and agrees that any such private sale or disposition may result in prices and
other terms (including the terms of any securities or other property received
in
connection therewith) less favorable to the seller than if such sale or
disposition were a public sale or disposition and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, agrees that any such private sale or disposition shall be deemed
to be reasonable and affected in a commercially reasonable manner. Pledgee
shall
be
under no obligation to delay a sale or disposition of any of the Pledged
Shares in
order
to permit Pledgor
or
a
Pledge
Entity to
register such securities for public sale under the 1933
Act,
or
under applicable state
securities laws,
even if
Pledgor
or
a
Pledge
Entity would
agree to do so.
5
(b) Pledgor
further
agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be
reasonably necessary to make such sales or dispositions of the Pledged
Shares valid
and
binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders,
writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or
governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
any such sales or dispositions, all at Pledgor’s
expense. Pledgor
further
agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections
4,
5(a),
5(b),
8,
9
and
24
will
cause irreparable injury to Pledgee
and
that
Pledgee
has
no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees,
without limiting the right of Pledgee
to
seek
and obtain specific performance of other obligations of Pledgor
contained
in this Agreement,
that
each and every covenant referenced above shall be specifically enforceable
against Pledgor,
and
Pledgor
hereby
waives and
agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance
of
such covenants.
(c) Pledgor
further
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Pledgee
and
its
successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents,
and any person or entity in control of any thereof, from and against any loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense,
including,
without limitation,
legal
fees and expenses (in this paragraph collectively called the “Indemnified
Liabilities”),
under
federal and state
securities laws or
otherwise insofar as such Indemnified
Liability (i)
arises
out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or offering
memorandum or in any preliminary prospectus or preliminary offering memorandum
or in any amendment or supplement to any thereof or in any other writing
prepared in connection with the offer, sale or resale of all or any portion
of
the Pledged
Collateral unless
such untrue statement of material fact was provided by Pledgee,
in
writing, specifically for inclusion therein, or (ii)
arises
out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, such indemnification to remain operative regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of Pledgee
or
any
successor thereof, or any person or entity in control of any thereof. In
connection with a public sale or other distribution, Pledgor
will
provide customary indemnification to any underwriters, their successors and
assigns, officers and directors and each person or entity who controls any
such
underwriter (within the meaning of the 1933
Act).
If and
to the extent that the foregoing undertakings in this paragraph may be
unenforceable for any reason, Pledgor
agrees
to
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the
Indemnified
Liabilities which
is
permissible under applicable law. The obligations of Pledgor
under
this paragraph
(c) shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.
(d) Pledgor
further
agrees to waive any and all rights of subrogation it may have against a
Pledge
Entity upon
the
sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged
Collateral by
Pledgee
pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement
until
the
termination of this Agreement
in
accordance with Section
11 below.
6
10. No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
Pledgee
shall
not
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
remedies hereunder, and no waiver by Pledgee
shall
be
valid unless in writing and signed by Pledgee,
and
then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Pledgee
of
any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to
any right or remedy which Pledgee
would
otherwise have on any further occasion. No course of dealing between
Pledgor
and
Pledgee
and
no
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee
of,
any
right,
power or privilege hereunder
or under the other Transaction
Documents shall
impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right,
power or privilege.
The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly
or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law.
11. Termination. This
Agreement
and
the
liens
and security interests granted
hereunder shall terminate and Pledgee
shall
return any Pledged
Shares or
other
Pledged
Collateral then
held
by Pledgee
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
to
Pledgor
upon
the
termination of the Note
and
the
full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the
Liabilities
(i)
in
respect of the Note
(including,
without limitation,
the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all such Liabilities)
and
(ii)
with
respect to which claims have been asserted by Pledgee.
12. Possession
of Collateral. Beyond
the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged
Shares in
the
physical possession of Pledgee
pursuant
hereto, neither Pledgee,
nor any
nominee of Pledgee,
shall
have any duty or liability to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to
protect, preserve or exercise any rights pertaining thereto (including any
duty
to ascertain or take action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relating to the Pledged
Collateral and
any
duty to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to the Pledged
Collateral),
and
shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged
Collateral upon
surrendering them to Pledgor.
Pledgor
assumes
the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial
condition of a Pledge
Entity and
of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the
Liabilities,
and
Pledgee
shall
have no duty to advise Pledgor
of
information known to Pledgee
regarding
such condition or any such circumstance. Pledgee
shall
have no duty to inquire into the powers of a Pledge
Entity or
its
officers, directors, managers, members, partners or agents thereof acting or
purporting to act on its behalf.
13. Taxes
and Expenses.
Pledgor
will
upon
demand pay to Pledgee,
(a)
any
taxes
(excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross
