SECTION 3.1 Delivery of Certificated Securities Collateral. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that within 30 days following the date hereof (which date may be extended, other than with respect to certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in any Guarantor, so long as the Pledgor is using commercially reasonable efforts to comply herewith), all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in existence on the date thereof shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and that the Collateral Agent has a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest therein (subject to Permitted Liens) except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Collateral acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days (which date may be extended, other than with respect to certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in any Guarantor, so long as the Pledgor is using commercially reasonable efforts to comply herewith)) upon receipt thereof by such Pledgor be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. All certificated Securities Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank.

13
or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations.

Each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Collateral Agent has a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all uncertificated Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date hereof except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any issuer of Pledged Securities is organized in a jurisdiction that does not require the use of certificates to evidence equity ownership or any of the Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, if necessary to perfect a security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such Pledged Securities, and subject to Section 2.2(c), cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, cause the issuer to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 annexed hereto, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents reasonably necessary to complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities under the terms hereof.
SECTION 3.3 Financing Statements and Other Filings; Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that the only UCC-1 financing statements necessary to perfect the security interest granted by each Pledgor to the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral (to the extent a UCC-1 financing statement can perfect such security interest) as of the date hereof are listed on Schedule 1 hereto. All such UCC-1 financing statements have been completed (and to the extent necessary or appropriate, duly executed) and filed or submitted for filing in each applicable governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 1 hereto. Each Pledgor agrees that at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, (i) such Pledgor will maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in the Collateral as a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens, Section 2.2(c) and the other requirements of this Agreement), except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons (other than the holders of such Permitted Liens), (ii) following the occurrence and during the existence of any Event of Default, such Pledgor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and (iii) at any time and from time to time, such Pledgor shall promptly and duly execute and deliver, and file and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further action
14
as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of maintaining the valid, enforceable and perfected Liens of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the Collateral, including (x) the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby and (y) the execution and delivery of Control Agreements, in each case, in such offices wherever required by applicable Legal Requirements to perfect (to the extent a security interest in such Collateral may be so perfected under applicable Legal Requirements), continue and maintain a valid, enforceable, security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, in the Collateral as provided (and to the extent required) in this Agreement and to preserve the Liens and related rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as against third parties claiming a prior security interest in the Collateral (other than the holders of Permitted Liens), with respect to the Collateral. Good Technology Software, Inc. further agrees that at its sole cost and expense that, (i) within 5 days of the date hereof (the “Notice Date”), it shall cause to be given notice to Motorola (as such term is defined on Schedule 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate) of its desire to terminate the Motorola Lien (as such term is defined on Schedule 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate) and (ii) if Motorola has failed to send it a termination statement or has failed to terminate the Motorola Lien on the date that is 20 days after the Notice Date (the “Notice Expiration Date”), Good Technology Software, Inc. shall file the termination statement attached to Schedule 14(a) of the Perfection Certificate on such date that is 5 days after the Notice Expiration Date.
SECTION 3.4 Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, each Pledgor represents and warrants and covenants as follows, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:
(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) no amounts in excess of $250,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral are evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, except the Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed on Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate, and (ii) each such Instrument and each such item of Tangible Chattel Paper in excess of $250,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate, has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any amount, in excess of $250,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate, then payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written reasonable request by such Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly return such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper to such Pledgor from time to time, to the extent reasonably necessary for collection in the ordinary course of such Pledgor’s business.
15
(b) Deposit Accounts. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) as of the date hereof, each Pledgor has neither opened nor maintains any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate, (ii) within 75 days following the date hereof, each applicable Pledgor shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to each of the Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts or Excluded Assets) listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate or the Pledgors have closed such accounts, and (iii) within 75 days following the date hereof, each applicable Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Agent to have a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such Deposit Accounts by Control except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts or Excluded Assets) unless such Deposit Account bank and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement) with respect to such Deposit Account, in each case, to the extent an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement does not already cover such Deposit Account within 75 days following the date of opening such Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions (or, in the case of Deposit Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the Deposit Account bank, take similar internal administrative action) directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Pledgor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except to the extent set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Section 3.4(b) shall not apply to any Deposit Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the Deposit Account bank. No Pledgor has granted or shall grant Control of any Deposit Account (including any Excluded Account, but excluding any Excluded Asset) to any Person other than (i) the First Priority Collateral Agent or (ii) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement if in effect, the Collateral Agent.
(c) Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. (i) Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (1) as of the date hereof, it has neither opened nor maintains any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts other than those listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate, (2) within 75 days following the date hereof, each applicable Pledgor and the relevant Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver a Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodity Account Control Agreement, as applicable, for each Securities Account or Commodity Account (other than Excluded Accounts) listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate, or the Pledgors have closed such accounts, (3) the Collateral Agent has a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts (which perfected security interest also shall be by Control as required pursuant to clause (2) above) except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and (4) it does not hold, own or have any interest in any certificated securities or uncertificated securities other than those constituting Pledged Securities and those maintained in Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate or in respect of which the Collateral Agent has Control,
16
except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Investment Property (other than Excluded Assets) and having a fair market value of $250,000 or more individually or $500,000 in the aggregate, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days of acquiring such security) (a) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank or (b) deliver such securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Control Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor constituting Investment Property (other than Excluded Assets) and having a fair market value of $250,000 or more individually or $500,000 in the aggregate are uncertificated and are issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Pledgor shall, if necessary to perfect a security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), promptly (and in any event within 30 days of acquiring such security) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with Entitlement Orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, (b) cause a Security Entitlement with respect to such uncertificated security to be held in a Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) with respect to which the Collateral Agent has Control or (c) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. The Pledgors shall not hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary unless such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be (or an amendment to an existing Control Agreement) with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, in each case, to the extent an existing Control Agreement does not already cover such Securities Account or Commodity Account, within 75 days following the date of opening such Securities Account or Commodity Account. The Collateral Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions (or, in the case of Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, take similar internal administrative action) to any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except to the extent set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Section 3.4(c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary. No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any Person other than the First Priority Collateral Agent or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement if in effect, the Collateral Agent.
(ii) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, a Commodity Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other Person; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.4(c) shall release or relieve any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary of its duties and obligations to the Pledgors or any other Person under any Control Agreement or under applicable
17
Legal Requirements; provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve the Collateral Agent from any liability relating to the loss of, damage to, or the destruction of Investment Property and Pledged Securities in its possession to the extent resulting from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Each Pledgor shall promptly pay all Charges and fees of whatever kind or nature with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities pledged by it under this Agreement, except for Charges that are immaterial or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Pledgor has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. In the event any Pledgor shall fail to make such payment contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of such Pledgor and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent from all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(c) in accordance with Section 10.11 of the Indenture.
(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $500,000 or payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly (and in any event within 45 days after the acquisition thereof) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent control under UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Collateral Agent will permit, pursuant to procedures, so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.
(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Pledgor, other than (i) a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement or (ii) a Letter of Credit that is a “supporting obligation” (as defined in Section 9 102 of the UCC) with respect to other Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, then to the extent that (and at such time as) a security interest securing any First Priority Obligations is perfected in such Letter of Credit Rights, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement if it is in effect, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days
18
of such security interest becoming perfected) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, pursuant to an agreement, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer or other nominated Person of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in Article IX hereof.
(f) Commercial Tort Claims. To the extent that (and at such time as) a security interest securing any First Priority Obligations is perfected against any Commercial Tort Claim, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement if it is in effect, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days of such security interest becoming perfected) notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof, grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof and perfecting such security interest (including by filing any amendment to a previously filed UCC-1 financing statement that is then effective or by filing a UCC-1 financing statement, in each case, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction), all upon the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.5 Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a joinder agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3 (each such agreement, a “Joinder Agreement”) within 30 days after the date on which it was required to so become a Guarantor and (ii) a Perfection Certificate within 30 days after the date on which it was required to so become a Guarantor and, in each case, upon such execution and delivery, such Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Pledgor as a party to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document.
SECTION 3.6 Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional collateral assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as may be reasonably necessary to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent the Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to the rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Article VIII hereof and in the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary to prevent any impairment of the security interest in the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
SECTION 4.1 Title. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement, Permitted Liens and the Motorola Lien (as defined on Schedule 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate), such Pledgor owns and, as to Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own the rights in each item of Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or claims of others. Such Pledgor has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file a financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Indenture or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on and attached to Schedule 14(a) to the Perfection Certificate or in connection with Permitted Liens. No person other than the Collateral Agent has, or will have possession of all or any part of the Collateral required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder, except as expressly permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement, if in effect, or any other Collateral Document.
SECTION 4.2 Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings described in Schedule 1 hereto, a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all the Collateral to the extent a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected pursuant to such filings, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Collateral will at all times constitute a valid, enforceable, perfected (subject to the limitations herein and the other Collateral Documents), continuing security interest therein, subject only to Permitted Liens, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
SECTION 4.3 Defense of Claims; Transferability of Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein granted to the Collateral Agent against all claims and demands of all Persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, other than such claims and demands brought by holders of Permitted Liens.
SECTION 4.4 [RESERVED]
20
SECTION 4.5 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization, etc. As of the date hereof, the chief executive office and principal place of business of such Pledgor is located at the address listed in Section 2 of the Perfection Certificate for such Pledgor. Such Pledgor shall, (i) unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 5 days’ prior written notice (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate), not change its name, identity, legal structure (whether by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise), type of organization or jurisdiction of organization, place of business, chief executive office, or mailing address or organizational identification number if it has one and (ii) take all actions necessary or reasonably advisable to maintain the continuous validity, perfection (subject to the limitations expressly set forth herein and in the other Collateral Documents) and the same or better priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral granted or intended to be granted hereunder, which in the case of any merger or other change in organizational structure shall include delivering a written notice (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) upon completion of such merger or other change in organizational structure confirming the grant of the security interest under this Agreement. If such Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, such Pledgor shall forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number. The Collateral Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in this Section 4.5. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest with the priority required hereunder in such Pledgor’s property constituting Collateral.

In the event that the Collateral Agent exercises any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and reasonably determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other Person therefor, then, each Pledgor agrees to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.
SECTION 4.10 [RESERVED]
SECTION 4.11 Insurance. In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, such cash proceeds net of (a) reasonable transaction fees, costs and expenses (including, as applicable, any underwriting, brokerage or other customary commissions and reasonable legal, accounting, advisory and other fees and expenses associated therewith, which were incurred to non-Affiliates of the Issuer) and (b) sale, use or other transaction taxes, including capital gains taxes and other income taxes, paid or payable, or reasonably estimated to be payable, as a result thereof shall be paid to the First Priority Collateral Agent to the extent required by the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, and otherwise to the Collateral Agent to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure.

Notwithstanding anything in any Collateral Document to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Pledgor shall not be obligated to reimburse the
22
Collateral Agent for more than one such inspection per any 12-month period. Such Pledgor shall, at any and all times, within a reasonable time after written request by the Collateral Agent, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent, in such manner and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, additional information with respect to the Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement if in effect), but not the obligation, to access any Mortgaged Property to exercise any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents that the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.

(D) All Distributions that are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.2(ii)(B) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Pledgor and shall immediately be paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary or reasonably requested endorsement).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may transfer a full and complete copy of any Pledgor’s books, records, credit information, reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the Accounts to and for the use by any Person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of an interest in the Accounts or the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein without the consent of any Pledgor.
SECTION 7.3 Legend. At the request of the Collateral Agent and in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Pledgor shall legend the Accounts and the other books, records and documents of such Pledgor evidencing or pertaining to the Accounts with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES
SECTION 8.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time exercise in respect of the
26
Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under the other Collateral Documents, applicable law or otherwise, the following remedies:
(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice, subject to Section 5.1 hereof (to the extent applicable), or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;
(ii) Demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than five Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;
(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;
(iv) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 8.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;
(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Collateral;
27
(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article IX hereof;
(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral; and
(viii) All the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 8.2, sell, assign, transfer or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Legal Requirement now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.
SECTION 8.2 Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by any Legal Requirement, 10 days prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which case no such prior notice shall be required). No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.
28
SECTION 8.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims; Other Waivers; Marshalling.
(i) Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, notice of judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under any Legal Requirement, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, except to the extent resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Legal Requirements. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VIII except to the extent resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity or otherwise against such Pledgor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.
(ii) Each Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of the issuance of any Additional Notes, Collateral received or delivered or any other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Legal Requirement relating to the marshalling of collateral and hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Legal Requirements.
SECTION 8.4 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable Legal Requirements impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Legal Requirements, to fail to obtain consents for
29
Governmental Authorities or third parties for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim or modify disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Pledgors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 8.4 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would fulfill the Collateral Agent’s duties under the UCC or other Legal Requirements of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.4. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.4 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Legal Requirements in the absence of this Section 8.4.
SECTION 8.5 Certain Sales of Collateral.
(i) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Legal Requirements, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of a Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.
(ii) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities’ laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to Persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment
30
Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state or foreign securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any federal, state or foreign securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state or foreign securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall cause the Collateral Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Collateral Agent against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or reasonably necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(iv) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall, and shall cause each issuer of Securities Collateral and Investment Property to be sold hereunder to, from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature or interest, of securities or other instruments included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
31
(v) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.
SECTION 8.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(i) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable Legal Requirements, in equity or otherwise.
(ii) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
32
ARTICLE IX
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
SECTION 9.1 Application of Proceeds. (a) Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if in effect, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies (collectively, the “Collateral Proceeds”) shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, as follows:
(i) first, to the payment of all fees, costs, reimbursements, indemnities, expenses and other amounts owing to, or incurred by, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and all documents related thereto (including, without limitation, Sections 7.07 and 10.11 of the Indenture);

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the applicable Pledgor(s) or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party’s Secured Obligations, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1 Concerning Collateral Agent.
(i) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture and if applicable, an Accession Agreement hereto. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement if in effect). Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.
(ii) Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests; provided that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have responsibility for (x) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters (y) failing to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or (z) failing to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
34
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
(iv) If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the provisions hereof shall control.
SECTION 10.2 Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement and such failure constitutes an Event of Default (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Charges as required herein, (iii) make repairs, or (iv) discharge Liens or pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11 of the Indenture. Neither the provisions of this Section 10.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof; provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall only exercise such power of attorney upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
SECTION 10.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any obligations held by it secured by this Agreement to any other
Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture.
35
SECTION 10.4 Termination; Release. This Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement upon the earliest of the date on which both (x) (a) all Indenture Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand has been made and that, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, survive the termination thereof), (b) the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option described in Section 8.02 or 8.03, respectively, of the Indenture or (c) the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture occurs in accordance with Article XII thereof. Upon termination hereof, the security interests granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to any Order or other applicable Legal Requirement. Upon termination hereof or any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if in effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgors, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty of any kind (either express or implied) by the Collateral Agent (except that the Collateral Agent has not assigned or otherwise transferred its security interest in the Collateral), such of the Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession or control of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, with such endorsements or proper documents and instruments prepared by Pledgors (including UCC-3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be. In addition, Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement to the extent expressly required by Section 10.04 of the Indenture.
SECTION 10.5 Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and Intercreditor Agreement, if in effect, and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and any affected Pledgor. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof 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, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 10.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Indenture, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Issuer set forth in the Indenture and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Indenture, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 10.6.
