(iii)    no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any duty or obligation of Pledgor thereunder or take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 6.2.    Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:
(a)    exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other right and remedy provided for herein, under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC and any other applicable Law, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Pledgor, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(b)    require Pledgor to promptly assemble all or part of the Collateral of Pledgor as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it (together with all books, records and information of Pledgor relating thereto) available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(c)    prior to the Disposition of any Collateral:
(i)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises owned by Pledgor where any Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to the Collateral Agent seize and remove such Collateral from such premises; and
(ii)    have access to and use Pledgor’s books, records, and information relating to the Collateral of Pledgor.
(d)    reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;
(e)    Dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, any Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (but that the sale of any Collateral shall not exhaust the Collateral Agent’s power of sale, and sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any Collateral;
(f)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, buy (or allow any Secured Party to buy and/or credit bid) Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale;
(g)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, buy (or allow any Secured Party to buy and/or credit bid) Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if any Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;

    12    [Pledge Agreement]



(h)    apply by appropriate judicial proceedings in accordance with applicable Law for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor consents to any such appointment;
(i)    comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirement in connection with a Disposition of Collateral and such compliance shall not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral;
(j)    sell Collateral without giving any warranty, with respect to title or any other matter;
(k)    notify (or to require Pledgor to notify) any and all obligors under any Instrument or other right to payment included in the Collateral of Pledgor of the assignment thereof to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and to the extent permitted by Law, to enforce collection of any such Instrument or other right to payment and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that the Collateral Agent has given (or after the Collateral Agent has required Pledgor to give) any notice referred to above in this subsection:
(i)    all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Pledgor in respect of any Instrument or other right to payment included in the Collateral of Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be, at the Collateral Agent’s discretion, either:
(A)    held as cash collateral and released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default; or
(B)    while an Event of Default is continuing, applied as specified in Section 6.3; and
(ii)    Pledgor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Instrument or other right to payment included in the Collateral of Pledgor or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereon or allow any credit or discount thereon; and
(l)    give any entitlement order, instruction or direction in respect of any Investment Property of Pledgor to any issuer, securities intermediary, or commodity intermediary, and to withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal rights or trading rights by Pledgor.
To the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law with respect to Collateral of Pledgor, at least 10-days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification; provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails in any respect to give such notice, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it under the UCC or other applicable Law. 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.

    13    [Pledge Agreement]



Section 6.3.    Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied as payment for Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.4.    Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.2 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Pledgor shall not remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Pledgor shall not be personally liable for payments due hereunder or under any other Loan Document or for the performance of any obligation hereunder or thereunder. The recourse of the Secured Parties for satisfaction of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be against the Collateral to the extent provided in this Agreement; provided that:
(a)    nothing herein shall (i) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any obligations of the Restricted Persons or (ii) limit or otherwise prejudice in any way the right of the Collateral Agent to proceed against any Restricted Person in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents;
(b)    nothing herein shall limit or otherwise prejudice in any way the right of the Collateral Agent to proceed against Pledgor with respect to the Collateral (including naming Pledgor as a defendant in a suit if necessary or advisable to foreclose upon or otherwise exercise remedies against any Collateral securing the Secured Obligations); and
(c)    the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to Pledgor if and to the extent that Pledgor commits any fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct or acts in bad faith.
Section 6.5.    Private Sales of Pledged Equity. The Secured Parties may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of the Pledged Equity and may determine to make one or more private sales of such Pledged Equity to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the same for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Any such private sale may be at a price and on other terms less favorable to the seller than the price and other terms that might have been obtained at a public sale. Any such private sale nevertheless shall be upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to Borrower and to the extent permitted by applicable Law shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit their registration for public sale under the Securities Act. Any offer to sell any such Collateral that has been:
(i)    publicly advertised on a bona-fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or
(ii)    made privately in the manner described above to not less than 5 bona-fide offerees,
shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” under Section 9.610(c) of the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and any Secured Party may bid and/or credit bid for such Collateral.

    14    [Pledge Agreement]



Section 6.6.    Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to the Collateral Agent the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Pledgor waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right that might otherwise require the Collateral Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process and confirms that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. The Collateral Agent may, however, in its discretion, resort to judicial process.
Section 6.7.    Limitation on Duty of the Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
Section 6.8.    Appointment of Other Agents(a)    . At any time, pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may appoint any bank or trust company or one or more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Collateral Agent, with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effective operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment.
ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous
Section 7.1.    Notices.

Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given as provided in the Credit Agreement for notices given thereunder.
Section 7.2.    Amendments and Waivers.

In addition, all such amendments and waivers shall be effective only if given with the necessary approvals required in the Credit Agreement.
Section 7.3.    Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by Law or otherwise.

    15    [Pledge Agreement]



Section 7.4.    Severability.

Except as provided pursuant to Section 7.7(a)(i), no right or duty of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
Section 7.7.    Release of Collateral; Termination.
(a)    Upon any sale, transfer or other Disposition of any Collateral of Pledgor in accordance with and permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby and such Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent granted thereon; provided that (i) the Person to acquire such Collateral shall be become a party to this Agreement or otherwise pledge such Collateral to the Collateral Agent on terms substantially similar to those herein and acceptable to the Collateral Agent and (ii) Pledgor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may approve), a written request for release describing the Collateral to be released, together with a certification by Pledgor stating that such transaction is in compliance with the terms of all of the Loan Documents and that the proceeds of such Collateral will be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, if applicable (on which certification the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely without further inquiry).
(b)    After termination of each Lender’s Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) and cash collateralization (or such other arrangement acceptable to Borrower and the applicable Lender Counterparty) of Lender Swap Obligations, this Agreement and the security interest created hereby (and thereby) shall terminate, all rights in the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor, and the Collateral Agent, at Pledgor’s request, will:

    16    [Pledge Agreement]



(i)    return to Pledgor all of Pledgor’s Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and
(ii)    execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Pledgor is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to Pledgor’s rights under Sections 9.509(d)(2) and 9.518 of the UCC, this Section 7.7 and Section 7.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 6.6 and 7.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
Section 7.9.    Final Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS.
