of the Secured Obligations, even if IFC accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
When all Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (and the IFC Loan Agreement shall have been terminated or expired) or the Pledged Collateral disposed of in accordance with Section 6.02(e) hereof, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate, and IFC shall (at the expense of PSMT) (i) forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred, delivered and released against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Pledged Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of PSMT and (ii) execute and deliver to PSMT upon such termination such termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by PSMT to effect the termination and release of the Lien of this Pledge Agreement on the Pledged Collateral.
140
provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as a partial security for the Secured Obligations, and is in addition to any other security that IFC may, now or in the future, obtain to secure the same obligations. Accordingly, in the event that the monies at any time realized by IFC in the sale of the Pledged Collateral and/or in the exercise of any of their rights and powers hereunder shall not be sufficient to pay and discharge all the Secured Obligations, any remaining unpaid balance thereof shall remain due and payable on demand by IFC, until fully paid and all rights, powers and remedies of IFC in respect thereof are hereby reserved.
Section 8.04. Rescission of Payment. So long as this Pledge Agreement shall not have terminated pursuant to Article VII, for the avoidance of doubt, this Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, in respect of any payment, or a part thereof, of the Secured Obligations that is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by IFC, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Co-Borrowers or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 8.06. Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.01(e) hereof are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, IFC shall retain all rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement and the IFC Loan Agreement, and the Co-Borrowers shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency.

Section 8.09. (a) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of IFC provided for in this Pledge Agreement are not exclusive of, but are in addition to, any other rights and remedies that IFC may have in law or under any other Transaction Documents. In addition, such rights, powers and remedies of IFC hereunder are granted for the exclusive benefit of IFC, and it is IFC’s prerogative to exercise any of such rights, powers and remedies in its discretion, but it shall have no obligation to do so; nor shall IFC be liable to PSMT or any other Person for any action taken or not taken by it pursuant to this Pledge Agreement. One or more exercises of the powers and rights herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers until the Pledged Collateral and all other property now or hereafter subject hereto or to any instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or relating to the Secured Obligations, is sold or the Secured Obligations are paid in full. If the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any mortgages, chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments or other security, IFC may exhaust the remedies granted under any of the said security instruments, either concurrently or independently, and in such order as IFC, in the exercise of its absolute discretion, may determine.
(b) No Waiver. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to IFC or its attorney-in-fact upon any default or other circumstance under this Pledge Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of IFC or its attorney-in-fact in respect of such
141
default or circumstance, or any acquiescence by it thereto, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of IFC or its attorney-in-fact in respect of any other default or circumstance, whether similar or not.
(c) Amendments, etc. with respect to the Loans. PSMT shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Pledged Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien created hereunder, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against PSMT, the Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part from time to time, and any guarantee or other collateral security at any time held by IFC for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. IFC shall not have any obligation to PSMT to protect, secure or perfect any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or any property subject thereto.
Section 8.10. Severability. If any provision, term or condition of this Pledge Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, then, without prejudice to the provisions of Section 8.09 the same shall not adversely affect or impair the validity and enforceability of the other provisions, terms and conditions hereof nor the application of any such provisions, terms and conditions to any other Person or in any other circumstance.

IFC may, at any time in conjunction with the assignment and transfer of any part of the Loan, transfer by way of assignment or novation, if not automatically occurring by operation of law, all or any part of its rights, benefits or obligations under the Pledge or this Pledge Agreement, without PSPH being in any way discharged from their obligations hereunder and without this Pledge Agreement or the Pledge created hereunder being deemed cancelled or terminated. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section shall be void.
Section 8.13 Discharge of Pledge. Subject to Section 8.04 (Rescission of Payment) and Article VII (Termination), IFC agrees to release the Pledged Collateral from the Pledge at the request of PSMT when the Secured Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all indemnities of PSMT herein shall survive such release and any termination of this Pledge Agreement. All taxes, fees and other costs imposed in connection with such release and termination shall be for the account of PSMT, and the payment thereof shall form part of the Secured Obligations.
Section 8.14. Lender Without Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Pledge Agreement and the Pledges are only intended as security for the Secured Obligations and IFC shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does IFC undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty, or liability of PSMT under or relating to any of the Pledged Collateral.
Section 8.15. Governing Law; Jurisidiction. The provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the same governing law and rules of construction as are stipulated to apply to Volume II, IFC Loan Agreement.
