Each Pledgor hereby warrants and shall defend the title to the Pledged Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unto and for the benefit of the Secured Party and the Secured Party’s successors and assigns, against all liens, security interests, adverse claims, encumbrances and demands of any Person whatsoever.

No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, and no course of dealing between any Pledgor or any other Person and the Secured Party, shall operate as a waiver of any of the Secured Party’s rights, powers or remedies under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any circumstance shall entitle any Pledgor or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.03. Sale of Collateral. (a) Without limiting the Secured Party’s right to pursue other remedies, if any Pledgor defaults in any provision of this Agreement, or any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may sell the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, as the Secured Party shall deem appropriate. The Secured Party shall be authorized at any such sale (if the Secured Party deems it advisable to do so with respect to any Pledged Collateral) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgors, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which any Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(b) Prior to a sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral, the Secured Party shall give the Pledgors, and any other party required under Article 9, notification as required under Article

9. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Secured Party may fix and state in the notice of such sale.

(c) The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Pledged Collateral if the Secured Party shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Secured Party may, without notice or publication, 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 sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

(d) At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Party may, in the Secured Party’s discretion, determine.

(e) In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon notification to the Pledgors as set forth in this Section 9.03. At any public sale made pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Party from any Pledgor or any other Obligor in respect of any of the Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes of any sale of Pledged Collateral under this Agreement, a written agreement to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and the Pledgors shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.

- 19 -

(f) Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Secured Party (including, without limitation, a sale pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Secured Party or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of Pledged Collateral being sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(g) The cash Proceeds of a sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral by the Secured Party shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, to the costs and expenses of preparing for and conducting the sale or other disposition, including the Secured Party’s attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, (ii) second, the remaining amount, if any, to the payment (in whatever order the Secured Party elects) of the Obligations until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, (iii) third, after the Obligations have been paid in full, the remaining amount of such Proceeds, if any, to the satisfaction of obligations secured by any subordinate security interest in or other subordinate lien on the Pledged Collateral if the Secured Party receives from the holder of the subordinate security interest or other lien an authenticated demand for Proceeds before distribution of the Proceeds is completed, and (iv) fourth, to the Pledgors for any surplus. The Obligors are liable for any deficiency.

(h) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon the Secured Party, the Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

Section 9.04. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgors, or because of other present or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such act and all such similar statutes as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted under this Agreement. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Secured Party if the Secured Party were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of Pledged Collateral and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Secured Party in any attempt to dispose of all or part of Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Under applicable law, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the Secured Party might be held to have certain general duties and obligations to the Pledgors, as pledgors, to make some effort toward obtaining a fair price even though the obligations of the Pledgors may be discharged or reduced by the proceeds of a sale at a lesser price. Each Pledgor clearly understand that the Secured Party is not to have any such general duty or obligation to any Pledgor, and the Pledgors will not attempt to hold the Secured Party responsible for selling all or any part of Pledged Collateral at an inadequate price even if the Secured Party shall accept the first offer received or does not approach more than one possible purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9.04 would apply if, for example, the Secured Party were to place all or any part of the Pledged Collateral for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such investment banking firm purchased all or any part of the Pledged Collateral for its own account, or if the Secured Party placed all or any part of Pledged Collateral privately with a purchaser or purchasers. The provisions of this Section 9.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Secured Party sells all or any part of Pledged Collateral.

Section 9.05. Registration. Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence of a default by the Pledgor under this Agreement, or any Event of Default, if for any reason the Secured Party desires to sell any of Pledged Collateral at a public sale, the Pledgors shall, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, use each Pledgor’s best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the opinion of counsel for the Secured Party to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Secured Party and any underwriter from and against any and all loss, liability, expenses, costs, fees and disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation, a reasonable estimate of the cost to the Secured Party of legal counsel), and any and all claims (including the costs of investigation) which they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any respect thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Pledgors or any issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Secured Party or the underwriter expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as the Secured Party may specify and to keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. The Pledgors will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out the obligations of the Pledgors under this Section 9.05. The Pledgors acknowledge that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by any Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.05 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agree that each Pledgor’s agreements contained in this Section 9.05 may be specifically enforced.

Section 10.04. Secured Party’s Right to Release Obligors. The Secured Party from time to time may take or release other security, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligations or other indebtedness to the Secured Party, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such Obligations or other indebtedness and may apply any other security therefor held by the Secured Party to the satisfaction of such Obligations or other indebtedness, all without any obligation to give the Pledgors notice of any thereof, and all without prejudice to any of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement. Furthermore, the Secured Party from time to time may enter into amendments of Transaction Documents with any party or parties primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations, without any obligation to give the Pledgors notice thereof, and without prejudice to any of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement regardless of whether any Pledgor is a party to or consents to such amendments.

Section 10.05. Marshaling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby agrees that the Pledgors will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby waives the benefit of all such Laws.

Section 10.06. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, modified, changed, waived, discharged or terminated, nor shall any consent be given, unless such amendment, modification, change, waiver, discharge, termination or consent is in writing and signed by the Secured Party.

In making this waiver, each Pledgor acknowledge and agree that they shall not make any claim for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages against the Secured Party or any of its shareholders, members, partners, directors, managers, trustees, officers, employees, agents or advisors.

Section 10.16. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.17. No Conditions Precedent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that no unsatisfied conditions precedent to the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement exist as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, and that the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement is not in any way conditioned or contingent upon any event, occurrence, or happening, or upon any condition existing or coming into existence either before or after the execution of this Agreement.

Section 10.18. Security Interest Absolute. Each Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or other action taken in reliance on this Agreement, and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of the Secured Party and liens and security interests under this Agreement, and all obligations of the Pledgors under this Agreement, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Obligations or Transaction Documents; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Obligations, or any recission, waiver, amendment or modification of any Transaction Document or any provisions thereof, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from future advances or protective advances or any extension of additional credit or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to any of the Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by any Pledgor against the Secured Party; or (g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering any loans or other Obligations or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Party that might vary the risk of any Pledgors or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Pledgor or any other grantor, pledgor, guarantor or surety.

- 24 -

Section 10.19. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgors shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security, if any, for the Obligations, so long as any amounts payable to the Secured Party in respect of the Obligations shall remain outstanding.

The Pledgors shall execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further assurances and take such other further actions as the Secured Party may from time to time request to further the intent and purpose of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to maintain and protect the rights and remedies intended to be created in favor of the Secured Party under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 10.21. Choice of Law, Venue, Jury Trial Waiver and Judicial Reference.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall, in all respects, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) of the State of New York (the “Governing Jurisdiction”) (including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

(b) Jurisdiction; Venue; Service.

(i) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Governing Jurisdiction and, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Governing Jurisdiction.

(ii) Each Pledgor agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Secured Party or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. Each Pledgor waives any right to object to the maintenance of any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience of forum.

- 25 -

(iii) Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, brought by any Pledgor against the Secured Party arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any matter relating to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any Obligations, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Pledgors shall not file any counterclaim against the Secured Party in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Secured Party against any Pledgor in a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Secured Party brought such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Secured Party against the Pledgor. Each Pledgor agrees that any forum outside the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by any Pledgor against the Secured Party in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing Jurisdiction. Furthermore, each Pledgor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Secured Party arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any matter relating to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any Obligations, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The Pledgors and the Secured Party agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(iv) The Pledgors and the Secured Party irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices in this Agreement, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.

(v) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Pledgor or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. The Pledgors and the Secured Party mutually waive all right to trial by jury of all claims of any kind arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any matter relating to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any Obligations, or any contemplated transaction. The Pledgors and the Secured Party acknowledge that this is a waiver of a legal right and that the Pledgors and the Secured Party each make this waiver voluntarily and knowingly after consultation with counsel of its choice. The Pledgors and the Secured Party agree that all such claims shall be tried before a judge of a court having jurisdiction, without a jury.
