into the Pledgee's name or the name of its nominee or nominees (the Pledgee
agrees to promptly notify the relevant Pledgor after such transfer; provided,

such transfer);
(iii) to vote all or any part of the Pledged Stock, Pledged
Limited Liability Company Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests (whether
or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers
and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect
thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby
irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and
attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);
and
(iv) at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and
deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or
any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of
performance, advertisement or notice of intention to
9
10
sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or
otherwise (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit
or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption
of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee
in its absolute discretion may determine; provided, that at least ten (10)
Business Days' notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to
such Pledgor. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent
permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the
Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of
marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or
otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee
on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of
the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption.
Neither the Pledgee nor any Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to
collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so
doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action
whatsoever with regard thereto.
8. REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy
of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt
Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall
be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such
right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the
Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers
or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any
other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no
failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to
exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. The
Secured Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action
of the Administrative Agent or the Pledgee, in each case acting in accordance
with the Loan Agreement and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon
the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such
rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agents or the
Pledgee, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the
terms of this Agreement. The Secured Creditors further agree that the Pledgee
has sole discretion to release all or any portion of the Collateral in
accordance with the Loan Agreement from time to time and that any such release
shall automatically, without any further action by Pledgee, serve to release
such Collateral as security for all of the Obligations and no consent from or
notice to any Secured Creditor is required in connection with any such release.
9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) All moneys collected by the
Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral of each
Pledgor, together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent
