6.4
The proceeds (as defined below) of any sale or other realization of all or any part of the Pledged Shares shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.            Attorney-in-fact

The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to require, demand and receive any and all moneys and claims for money due and to become due under or with respect to its Shares and to take any action or execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose hereof; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise the authority conferred above unless and until the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Pledgees is permitted to exercise any of the rights pursuant to Section 6.1. The Pledgor shall execute the Power of Attorney attached hereto as Exhibit A on the date of this Pledge Agreement and the date on which the Pledgor acquires any and all Additional Shares (if any), and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to fill in the date on the executed Power of Attorney at its discretion. The Administrative Agent agrees not to exercise its rights under such power of attorney except in connection with the exercise of remedies under Section 6.

Section 8.            Assignment

This Pledge Agreement and the Kun-Pledge created hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Pledgees and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

The parties hereto agree that to the extent of any assignment, the Assignee shall be deemed to have the same rights and benefits under this Pledge Agreement as it would have had if it were a signatory Pledgee hereunder, and the Pledgor shall ensure that procedures set forth in Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, as applicable, are promptly completed with respect to the Assignee. The Pledgor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.            Further Assurance

Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the addresses specified in the Credit Agreement.

11.2
Severability.  If any of the provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall contravene any Law or be held invalid, this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as if not containing those provisions, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Heading.  Headings and titles herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Pledge Agreement.

11.6
Entire Agreement.  This Pledge Agreement, together with other Loan Documents, is intended by the parties as the written final expression of each party's obligations and rights in connection with the Kun-Pledge of the Pledged Shares and the Security Assignment and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings or agreements concerning the subject matter hereof. The Kun-Pledge is made in conjunction with the security interest granted to the Agent under the Pledge Agreement dated October 29, 2010 by and between the Pledgor as grantor and the Administrative Agent as administrative agent for the Lenders governed by the laws of the State of California (the “U.S. Pledge Agreement”).  The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Pledgees with respect to the Kun-Pledge are in addition to those set forth in the Credit Agreement, the U.S. Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and those which are now or hereafter available to the Administrative Agent or any Pledgee as a matter of law or equity.  Each right, power and remedy of the Administrative

Agent and/or the Pledgees provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement, the U.S. Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every right, power or remedy provided for herein, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Pledgee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the U.S. Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any person, including the Administrative Agent, of any or all other rights, powers or remedies.

11.7

In the case of a conflict between the provisions of this Pledge Agreement and the provisions of the pledge agreement dated October 29, 2010 between the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent, which pledge agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, the provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall prevail.

11.8
No Waiver.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Pledgee shall, by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise, except by an express written instrument clearly indicating an intention to waive, be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Pledgees, any rights, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

11.9
Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and may be exercised individually or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by Law.
