If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any Collateral shall be received by any Pledgor, then such Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, as additional collateral securing the Secured Obligations.

In addition, the Pledgor agrees that it shall cause each issuer of Certificated Interests to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an acknowledgment in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION IV.1.3. Stock Powers, etc. Each Pledgor agrees that all Certificated Interests constituting Collateral delivered by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement will be accompanied by duly executed undated blank stock powers, or other equivalent instruments of transfer acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as is necessary under all applicable laws to perfect the Lien in favor of the Secured Parties on such Collateral. Each Pledgor will, from time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent such stock powers, instruments, and similar documents, satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and will, from time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default, promptly transfer any Pledged Interests or other shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION IV.1.5. Voting Rights; Dividends, etc. Each Pledgor agrees:

(a) after any Default of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(i) of the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof by such Pledgor and without any request therefor by the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will deliver (properly endorsed where required hereby or requested by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent all Dividends, Distributions, all other cash payments, and all proceeds of the Collateral, all of which shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional Collateral for use in accordance with Section 6.4; and

(b) after any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent has notified any Pledgor of the Administrative Agent’s intention to exercise its voting power under this Section.

(i) the Administrative Agent may exercise (to the exclusion of each Pledgor) the voting power and all other incidental rights of ownership with respect to any Pledged Interests or other shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests constituting Collateral and each Pledgor hereby grants the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy, exercisable under such circumstances, to vote the Pledged Interests and such other Collateral; and

(ii) promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional proxies and other documents requested by the Administrative Agent as may be necessary to allow the Administrative Agent to exercise such voting power.

All Dividends, Distributions, cash payments and proceeds which may at any time and from time to time be held by any Pledgor but which such Pledgor is then obligated to deliver to the Administrative Agent, shall, until delivery to the Administrative Agent, be held by such Pledgor separate and apart from its other property in trust for the Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent agrees that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given the notice referred to in clause (b), such Pledgor shall have the exclusive voting power with respect to any shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including any of the Pledged Interests) constituting Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of such Pledgor, promptly deliver such proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by such Pledgor which are necessary to allow such Pledgor to exercise voting power with respect to any such share of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including any of the Pledged Interests) constituting Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action taken by any Pledgor that would impair any Collateral or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Interest Rate Hedging Agreement.

SECTION IV.1.6. Additional Undertakings. No Pledgor will, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which could result in any impairment or alteration of any instrument constituting Collateral.

(b) take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which would result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of any Pledged Note or other instrument constituting Collateral.

SECTION 4.1.7. Pledgor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,

(a) each Pledgor shall remain liable to perform all of its duties and obligations as an owner of the Pledged Interests, to the same extent as if this Pledge Agreement had not been executed;

(iv) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Pledgor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral,

(v) take control of any proceeds of the Collateral,

(vi) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral,

(vii) accelerate any Pledged Note which may be accelerated in accordance with its terms and take any other action to collect upon any Pledged Note (including, without limitation, to make any demand for payment thereon), and

(viii) to vote all or any part of the Pledged Interests (whether or not transferred into the name of the Administrative Agent) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral (including, without limitation, under all operating agreements, partnership agreements or other agreements relating to the Collateral) and otherwise act with respect thereto as if it were the outright owner thereof.

SECTION VI.2. Securities Laws. If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of either Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will, at such Pledgor’s own expense:

(a) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and comparable legislation in other jurisdictions, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and comparable legislation, rules and regulations in other jurisdictions;

(b) use its best efforts to qualify the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent;

(c) cause each such Pledged Interest Issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and comparable legislation in other jurisdictions; and

(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

Each Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Pledgor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and, consequently, jointly and severally, agrees that, if any Pledgor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, the Pledgors shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Administrative Agent) of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent shall demand compliance with this Section. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to register any of the Collateral under the Securities Act in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder and may elect, in its sole discretion, to sell Collateral or any part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale be effected without such registration.

SECTION VI.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and each Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be liable or accountable to any Pledgor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

SECTION VI.4. Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as additional collateral security for, or then or at any time thereafter be applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against all or any part of the Secured Obligations as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 6.5;

(ii) second, after payment in full of the amounts specified in clause (i), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, with such amounts applied first to fees and expenses, then to accrued and unpaid interest, then to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, then to Letter of Credit Outstandings and then to Interest Rate Hedging Obligations; and

(iii) third, after payment in full of the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii), and following the Termination Date, to the Pledgors or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

SECTION VI.5. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Pledgor hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all claims, losses, and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Pledge Agreement (including enforcement of this Pledge Agreement), except claims, losses, or liabilities resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or a Secured Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Upon demand, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees that it will pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts, which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may incur in connection with:

(a) the administration of this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document;

(b) the custody, preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral;

(d) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Termination Date.
