(b) Unless and until the Security Agent exercises its rights under Section 3.04(a), such Pledgor may, with respect to any of the Pledged Equity Interests, vote and give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect thereto, except to the extent that any such action would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value thereof as Collateral.

(A) Proceeds

Section 4.01 Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Security Agent upon any sale of, collection of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral and all cash held by the Security Agent as Collateral shall, subject to the Security Agent’s right to continue to hold the same as cash Collateral, be applied as set forth in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(B) Remedies

Section 4.02 General.

(a) Power of Sale. The Security Agent (i) may sell the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of its offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as it may deem commercially reasonable, (ii) shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given, and (iii) may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Foreclosure. The Security Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it by Section 4.02(a) and applicable Laws, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interest and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or a decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Receiver. The Security Agent may obtain the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral and each Pledgor consents to and waives any right to notice of such appointment.

Section 4.03 Security Agent’s Rights with Respect to Proceeds and Other Collateral.

(a) All payments and other deliveries received by or for the account of the Security Agent from time to time pursuant to Section 3.05, together with the proceeds of all other Collateral from time to time held by or for the account of the Security Agent (whether as a result of the exercise by the Security Agent of its rights under Section 4.02(a) or (b) or otherwise) may, at the election of the Security Agent, (i) be held by the Security Agent, or any Person designated by the Security Agent to receive or hold the same, as Collateral, (ii) be or continue to be applied

as provided in Section 4.01 or (iii) be disposed of as provided in Section 4.02(a) or (b) and Section 4.04.

(b) Enforcement by Security Agent. The Security Agent may, without notice to the Pledgors (to the extent permitted by law) and at such time or times as the Security Agent in its sole discretion may determine, exercise any or all of the Pledgors’ rights in, to and under, or in any way connected with or related to, any or all of the Collateral, including (i) demanding and enforcing payment and performance of, and exercising any or all of the Pledgors’ rights and remedies with respect to the collection, enforcement or prosecution of, any or all of the Collateral Obligations, in each case by legal proceedings or otherwise, (ii) settling, adjusting, compromising, extending, renewing, discharging and releasing any or all of, and any legal proceedings brought to collect or enforce any or all of, the Collateral Obligations and (iii) preparing, filing and signing the name of any Pledgor on (A) any proof of claim or similar document to be filed in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Collateral Debtor and (B) any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien, or similar document in connection with any Collateral Obligation.

Section 4.04 Restricted Offering Dispositions of Pledged Equity Interest Collateral. The Security Agent may, at its election, comply with any limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the number of prospective bidders and purchasers or any requirement that they have certain qualifications or that they represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Pledged Equity Interests) as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Laws or to obtain any Governmental Approval, and such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Security Agent be liable nor accountable to such Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Pledged Equity Interests are sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. A private sale of which notice shall have been published in accordance with applicable “no action” letters published by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that otherwise complies with such letters, shall be deemed to constitute a “public disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-610(c)(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 4.05 Notice of Disposition of Collateral. Any notice to a Pledgor of disposition of Collateral may be in the form of Exhibit B.

Section 4.06 Regulatory Approvals. Any provision contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no action shall be taken hereunder by the Security Agent with respect to any item of Collateral unless and until all applicable requirements (if any) of any federal or state laws, rules and regulations of other regulatory or governmental bodies applicable to or having jurisdiction over the Pledgors have been satisfied with respect to such action and there

shall have been obtained such consents, approvals and authorizations (if any) as may be required to be obtained from any operating municipality and any other governmental authority under the terms of any franchise, license or similar operating right held by any Pledgor that purports to restrict a change of ownership or control of such Collateral. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any enforcement of the Liens in favor of the Security Agent on the Collateral shall in all relevant respects be subject to and governed by said statutes, rules and regulations and franchise, license or similar rights and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to diminish the control exercised by the Pledgors except in accordance with the provisions of such statutory requirements, rules and regulations, franchise, license, or similar right. Each of the Pledgors agrees that upon request from time to time by the Security Agent it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any governmental, regulatory or third party consents to enforcement referred to in this Section 4.06.

All rights that any Pledgor may at any time have against any other Pledgor, any guarantor or any other collateral for the Obligations (including rights of subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement and contribution and whether arising under applicable Laws or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related to, or connected
