ARTICLE VI.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1 Pledged Equity.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given prior written notice to the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends or distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other entity rights with respect to the Pledged Equity. Any sums paid upon or in respect of any Pledged Equity upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower, any non-cash distribution of capital made on or in respect of any Pledged Equity or any property distributed upon or with respect to any Pledged Equity pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Borrower or pursuant to the reorganization thereof shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent or except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations; provided, however, that, if such sum of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any Pledged Equity shall be received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional security for the Obligations.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given prior written notice to the Pledgor, (i) the Pledgor’s right to receive all cash dividends or distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and to exercise all voting and corporate or other entity rights with respect to the Pledged Equity shall cease while such Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) any or all of the Pledged Equity shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may (but shall not be obligated to) thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Equity at any meeting of shareholders (or other equivalent body) of the Borrower or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Equity as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of the Borrower, or upon the exercise by the Pledgor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Equity, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. If such sum of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any Pledged Equity shall be received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional security for the Obligations.

(c) The Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs the Borrower to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor, and the Pledgor agrees that the Borrower shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity directly to the Collateral Agent.

(d) The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Borrower to comply with any request received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that seeks to exercise or enforce any of the rights granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.2. The Pledgor agrees that the foregoing authorization and instruction shall be sufficient to authorize the Collateral Agent’s exercise or enforcement of such rights, and that the Borrower shall not be required to investigate the accuracy of any request made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6.1(d).

Section 6.2 Remedies Generally. During the continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 6.2 shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable Law (including, without limitation, any Law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement (or its functional equivalent);

(iii) the right to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral;

(iv) without notice, demand or advertisement of any kind to the Pledgor or any other Person (except as specifically provided in Section 9.1 or elsewhere herein or in the UCC), the right to enter the premises (including any premises owned or leased or to which the Pledgor otherwise has access rights) of the Pledgor where any Collateral is located (through self-held and without judicial process), the right to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without written notice and may take place at the Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere), subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable;

(v) the right to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest and principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof;

(vi) the right to send to any Depositary Bank a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (howsoever defined) under any Control Agreement; and

(vii) the right to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder).

(b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) Upon any such public sale or sales or any such private sale or sales, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which rights and equities of redemption the Pledgor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, as provided under applicable Law, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving or protecting the Collateral or its value, enforcing this Agreement or perfecting and maintaining the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Borrower with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) The Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity or any other Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. The Pledgor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller 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 such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity or any other Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor or the Issuer of the Pledged Equity or other Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities Laws, even if the Pledgor and the Issuer would agree to do so.

Section 6.3 Pledgor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor will take any and all actions, and do any and all such things as are requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Guarantee and the Collateral, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at the Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere;

(b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Pledgor for such use and occupancy;

(c) furnish to the Collateral Agent, or cause the Issuer of Pledged Equity to furnish to the Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Equity and the other Collateral in such reasonable detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify; and

(d) take, or cause the Issuer of Pledged Equity to take, any and all actions reasonably necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Equity to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Equity and the other Collateral.

ARTICLE VII.

ATTORNEY IN FACT

Section 7.1 Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action.

(a) The Pledgor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent and any office or agent thereof at any time and from time to time, and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof (which appointment shall automatically terminate with respect to the Pledgor on the Termination Date or, if sooner upon the termination or release of the Pledgor hereunder), effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or its own name, to (at the expense of the Pledgor), upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and prior written notice to the Pledgor:

(i) do all acts and things necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, at any time and from to time to time, to preserve, protect and realize upon the Collateral and perfect and maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral including, without limitation, to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, and to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the Issuer or any issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Equity or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Equity as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Pledged Equity; provided that this authorization shall not relieve the Pledgor of any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) in the name of Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due in relation to the Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(iii) upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Pledgor, pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral (other than taxes not required to be discharged under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and constituting Liens permitted hereunder or thereunder);

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale of Collateral, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

(v) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (A) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (B) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (C) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (D) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (E) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; and (F) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement; and

(vi) to vote any of the Pledged Equity and exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of any of the Pledged Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of equity holders, calling special meetings of equity holders and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective automatically and without the necessary of any action (including any transfer of the Pledged Equity on the record books of the Issuer thereof) by any Person (including the Issuer thereof or any officer or agent thereof).

(b) This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interest created hereby is released. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, under this Section 7.1 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE COLLATERAL AGENT MAY EXERCISE THE RIGHTS AND POWERS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.1 ONLY DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF ANY NOTICE PERIOD OTHERWISE REQUIRED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 7.2 Limitation of Duty. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and

neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against the Pledgor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. The Pledgor, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against the Pledgor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against the Pledgor or other Person.

ARTICLE VIII.

APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

Section 8.1 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds of Collateral received by the Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items shall be held by the Pledgor in trust for the Secured Parties segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and at the request of the Collateral Agent, shall, forthwith (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after any such request) upon receipt by the Pledgor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by the Pledgor (duly endorsed by the Pledgor to the Collateral Agent, if required or reasonably requested). At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the Proceeds of Collateral held or received by it against the Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect in compliance with the Credit Agreement, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for such Obligations shall be promptly paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full shall be promptly paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

ARTICLE IX.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Waivers. As provided in Section 9-612 of the UCC, any notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made shall be deemed sent within a reasonable time if sent to the Pledgor, addressed as set forth in Article X, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and at least ten (10) days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or applicable Law. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 9.2 Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and any Other Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such loss or diminution is attributable to the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations on the part of the Collateral Agent, arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.

Section 9.3 Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may during the continuance of an Event of Default perform or pay any obligation which the Pledgor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and the Pledgor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.3. The Pledgor’s obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be included in the Obligations and payable on demand.

Section 9.4 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees that the covenants of the Pledgor contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor.

Section 9.5 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever (other than any Amendment), nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom, shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent with the concurrence or at the written direction of the Required Lenders to the extent required under Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement and the Pledgor and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.11.

Section 9.6 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of Law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of Law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

Section 9.7 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Pledgor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any the Pledgor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 9.8 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and all Lenders, and any such purported assignment, transfer or delegation shall be null and void.

Section 9.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Pledgor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Termination or Release. The Guarantor and the Pledgor shall be released automatically from each of their obligations hereunder and the Guarantee and the security interest granted hereby shall also terminate and be released automatically on the Termination Date and, upon such termination, the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of an officer’s certificate duly executed by an authorized officer of the Borrower (and countersigned by the Administrative Agent) attesting to compliance with the conditions precedent contemplated herein and in any other Loan Documents (as applicable), and at the expense of the Pledgor or Borrower, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documentation (including any and all releases of Liens, termination statements and assignments) as it may reasonably request to effectuate the same (it being agreed and understood that such officer’s certificate shall not be required on the Termination Date). Any execution and delivery of the foregoing documents by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

Section 9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

Section 9.13 CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; PATRIOT ACT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability relating to or against the Borrower, the Pledgor or any other Person, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Obligations, or any applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on the Obligations;

(c) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Obligations;

(g) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other agreement or instrument or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of the Borrower, the Pledgor or any other Person; or

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, other Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Pledgor’s obligations hereunder;

except in each case to the extent that any written amendment, settlement, compromise, waiver or release entered into with the Collateral Agent expressly terminates the obligations of the Pledgor hereunder.

Section 9.18 Release. The Pledgor consents and agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time, or from time to time, in compliance with the Credit Agreement and otherwise in its discretion:

(a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Obligations; and

(b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Collateral (including the Pledged Equity), or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Collateral Agent in connection with all or any of the Obligations, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from the Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that the Pledgor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Credit Agreement, or any other agreement governing any Obligations.
