Issuer other than as permitted by this Pledge Agreement. Pledgor also hereby
expressly waives any and all rights under the LLC Agreement of any Issuer which,
whether exercised by Pledgor or not, would prevent, inhibit or interfere with

security interest in the Collateral by Pledgee or the full realization by the
Creditor Parties of any of their other rights under this Pledge Agreement or

in
any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise,
nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee, any right, power or
