In addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the Secured Party hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party, at its option and at the expense of the Pledgors, may (a) transfer into its own name, or into the name of its nominee, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, thereafter receiving all dividends, income or other distributions upon the Pledged Collateral; (b) take control of and manage all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) apply to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether any be due and payable or not, any moneys, including cash dividends and income from any Pledged Collateral, now or hereafter in the hands of the Secured Party or any Affiliate of the Secured Party, on deposit or otherwise, belonging to any Pledgor, as the Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; and (d) do anything which any Pledgor is required but fails to do hereunder. The Secured Party shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

7. Additional Remedies Upon Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Secured Party shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable Law, and in addition to its rights under Section 6 above and under the other Loan Documents, the following rights and remedies:

(a)         The Secured Party may, after ten (10) days’ advance notice to a Pledgor, sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’ advance notice 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. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party 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 recognizes that the Secured Party may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales of the Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests, investment property or ownership interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether or not all the same be then due and payable, as provided in the Credit Agreement.

8. Secured Party’s Duties.

The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.

9. Additional Pledgors.

It is anticipated that additional persons may from time to time become Subsidiaries of the Borrower or a Guarantor, each of whom will be required to join this Agreement as a Pledgor hereunder to the extent that such new Subsidiary owns equity interests in any other Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary. It is acknowledged and agreed that such new Subsidiaries of the Borrower or of a Guarantor may become Pledgors hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to Secured Party a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(2) to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law, rule or regulation and the Secured Party may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the Secured Party’s power.

 

11. Waivers.

Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all defenses which any Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding Section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor hereby further waives each of the following:

(i)        All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Pledgor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding Section hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured

Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of such Pledgor or the Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Borrower or any other Person;

(ii)       Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor or the Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or the Borrower, or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Secured Party or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any such acceptance; and

(iii)      Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws, or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Secured Party (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Secured Party to seek a deficiency against the Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.

12. Assignment.

All rights of the Secured Party under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All obligations of each Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

13. Severability.

Any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement which shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or portions thereof).

14. Governing Law.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

15. Notices.

All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”) given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as set forth in Section 10.6 [Notices] of the Credit Agreement, and the Pledgors (in their capacity as

Pledgors and in their capacity as Companies) shall simultaneously send to the Secured Party any notices such Pledgor or such Company delivers to each other regarding any of the Pledged Collateral.

16. Specific Performance.

Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Secured Party’s remedies at law for failure of any Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the Secured Party’s rights (i) to inspect the books and records related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications any Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to which any Pledgor has appointed the Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, and (v) to enforce the Secured Party’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be specifically enforced.

17. Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of any Pledged Collateral. At any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise any of its respective voting and other consensual rights whatsoever pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; provided, however, in addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the Secured Party, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights of each and every Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The Secured Party shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise by Secured Party of the voting or other consensual rights of such Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition thereto, Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Company to: (i) issue any other ownership interests of any nature or to issue any other securities, investment property or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any other ownership interests of any nature of any such Company, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement; or (ii) to enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral without the Secured Party’s prior written consent.

18. Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each Pledgor (as a Pledgor and as a Company) and each of the Companies (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any successor to said court (hereinafter referred to as the “New York Courts”) for purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding which relates to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such suit, action or

proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or any Loan Document may not be enforced in or by the New York Courts, (iii) hereby agrees not to seek, and hereby waives, any collateral review by any other court, which may be called upon to enforce the judgment of any of the New York Courts, of the merits of any such suit, action or proceeding or the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, and (iv) waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail addressed as provided in Section 16 hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. Nothing herein shall limit any Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or other proceeding against any Pledgor or any of any Pledgor’s assets or to serve process on any Pledgor by any means authorized by Law.

19. Waiver of Jury Trial.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR (AS A PLEDGOR AND AS A COMPANY), EACH OF THE COMPANIES AND THE SECURED PARTY, ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.

20. Entire Agreement; Additional Pledgors; Amendments.

(a)         This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor to the Secured Party.

(b)         At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Secured Party and the Lenders, additional Persons may become parties to this Agreement and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Pledgors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Secured Party and the Lenders a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-exiting Pledgor and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

(c)         Except as expressly provided in Section 5(d) with respect to certificated securities issued by Companies that are limited liability companies or limited partnerships, in Section 9 with respect to additional Pledgors, and in Section 21 with respect to the release of Pledgors and Companies, this Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by the Secured Party and the Pledgors.

Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or electronic (i.e., “e-mail” or “portable document folio” (“pdf”)) transmission to the Secured Party or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.
