Lender shall not be
8
liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
(c) Upon satisfaction in full of the Debt and payment of all amounts owed on the Note, Lender’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower UCC-3 termination statements or similar documents and agreements to terminate all of Lender’s rights under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (other than those rights expressly stated in the Loan Documents to survive termination) and to return any shares of capital stock (or other certificates evidencing the Pledged Interests) pledged pursuant to the terms hereof and in the possession of Lender.

(e) The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers.

9
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon Borrower, any Issuer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived or released. Lender shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Debt, in such order as specified in Section 9-615 of the Code, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against Lender arising from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of Lender or its affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.
(d) The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of Lender hereunder.
9.Private Sales. (a) Borrower recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of
10
purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Lender than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit any Issuer or Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if any Issuer or Borrower would agree to do so.
(b) Borrower further shall use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Section 9 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Borrower further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against Borrower and Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement, or any defense relating to Lender’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.
(c) Lender shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Borrower hereby waives any claims against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Debt, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that Lender has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale.
(d) Section 9-610 of the Code states that Lender is able to purchase the Pledged Interests only if they are sold at a public sale. Lender has advised Borrower that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Code, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Code permits Borrower to agree on the standards for determining whether Lender has complied with its obligations under Article 9 of the Code. Pursuant to the Code, Borrower specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to Lender’s purchase of the Pledged Interests (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action Letters (i) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Code; (ii) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Lender, has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Borrower or the applicable Issuer agrees to pay all costs of the registration process and (iii) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Lender purchases the Pledged Interests at such a sale.
11
(e) Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Interests or other Collateral sold by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender, may, in its sole discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Lender’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Borrower hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale:
(i) Lender conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York,
(ii) The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
(iii) Not more than ten (10) days before, and not less than five (5) days in advance of the foreclosure sale, Lender notifies Borrower at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale,
(iv) The foreclosure sale is conducted by an auctioneer licensed in the State of New York and is conducted in front of the New York Supreme Court located in New York City or such other New York State Court having jurisdiction over the Collateral on any Business Day between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
(v) The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal (or such other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) for seven (7) consecutive days prior to the date of the foreclosure sale, and
(vi) Lender sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements in the filing offices located in the State of Delaware conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days before such notification date.
10.Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to use reasonable care.

Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Lender, Lender is hereby appointed, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and taking any action in connection therewith and executing any instruments which Lender may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof including, without limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

15.Indemnity. Borrower agrees that the terms and provisions of Section 10.13 of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
16.Construction. All covenants, representations, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement applicable to Borrower, Issuer, Pledged Interests or any Issuer Formation Agreement shall be deemed to apply to Borrower, Issuer, Pledged Interests or Issuer Formation Agreement, individually. It shall constitute an Event of Default if any covenant, representation, term or condition contained in this Agreement applicable to Borrower, Issuer, Pledged Interests or Issuer Formation Agreement is breached (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) with respect to any single Borrower, Issuer, Pledged Interests or Issuer Formation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that Issuer has not made, nor is deemed to have made any covenants or representations under this Agreement or is otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
17.Miscellaneous.
(a)Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided by law.
(d)Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, or otherwise modified except by a
14
written instrument executed by the party against which enforcement of such waiver, amendment, or modification is sought. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and the respective successors and assigns of Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns; provided no Borrower shall have any right to assign its rights hereunder. The rights of Lender under this Agreement shall automatically be transferred to any permitted transferee to which Lender transfers the Note and Loan Agreement.
(e)Notices. Notices by Lender to Borrower to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission), addressed or transmitted to Borrower at the address or facsimile number of Borrower set forth in the Loan Agreement, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 10.6 of the Loan Agreement.
