3. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants to the Secured Party that (a) no prior lien or encumbrance exists on the Collateral, and the Pledgor will not grant or suffer to exist any such lien or encumbrance in the future, other than in favor of the Secured Party, and (b) the Pledgor is the legal owner of the Collateral and has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral without the consent of any other party other than the issuing institution, which the Pledgor has caused or will cause to execute the Acknowledgment in substantially the form attached hereto.

4. Default.

4.1. If any of the following occur (each an “Event of Default”): (i) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Obligations), (ii) any default under any of the Obligations that does not have a defined set of “Events of Default” and the lapse of any notice or cure period provided in such Obligations with respect to such default, (iii) demand by the Secured Party under any of the Obligations that have a demand feature, (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform any of its obligations hereunder, (v) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Pledgor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Secured Party by or on behalf of the Pledgor, (vi) the failure of the Secured Party to have a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, (vii) any restriction is imposed on the pledge or transfer of any of the Collateral after the date of this

Agreement without the Secured Party’s prior written consent, or (viii) the breach of the Control Agreement (referred to in Section 6 below), or receipt of notice of termination of the Control Agreement if no successor custodian acceptable to the Secured Party has executed a Control Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Secured Party on or before 10 days prior to the effective date of the termination, then the Secured Party is authorized in its discretion to declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable without demand or notice, which are expressly waived, and may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or given to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable state, as it may be amended from time to time, or otherwise at law or in equity, including without limitation the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, with or without advertisement thereof, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best.

4.2. The Secured Party is authorized to draw the funds represented by the Collateral, in whole or in part, and to do all acts necessary to draw such funds, to apply to all Obligations secured hereby, whether declared immediately due and payable or otherwise, and the officers of the issuing institution are authorized and directed to pay the same to the Secured Party on demand.

4.3. The net proceeds arising from the disposition of the Collateral after deducting expenses incurred by the Secured Party will be applied to the Obligations in the order determined by the Secured Party. If any excess remains after the discharge of all of the Obligations, the same will be paid to the Pledgor. If after exhausting all of the Collateral there is a deficiency, the Pledgor or, if the Pledgor is not borrowing from the Secured Party or providing a guaranty of the Borrower’s Obligations, the Borrower will be liable therefor to the Secured Party; provided, however, that nothing contained herein will obligate the Secured Party to proceed against the Pledgor, the Borrower or any other party obligated under the Obligations or against any other collateral for the Obligations prior to proceeding against the Collateral.

4.4. If any demand is made at any time upon the Secured Party for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if the Secured Party repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Pledgor will be and remain liable for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been originally received by the Secured Party. The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding the release of any of the Collateral by the Secured Party in reliance upon such payment (in which case the Pledgor’s liability will be limited to an amount equal to the fair market value of the Collateral determined as of the date such Collateral was released) and any such release will be without prejudice to the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable. This Section shall survive the termination of this Pledge Agreement.

5. Interest and Premiums. All interest and premiums declared or paid on the Collateral shall be the property of the Pledgor but shall remain as Collateral, subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement, unless released by the Secured Party, in its discretion, following a request from Pledgor. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall be entitled to apply all interest and premiums declared or paid on the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 above.

6. Securities Account. The Pledgor agrees to cause the issuing financial institution or securities intermediary on whose books and records the ownership interest of the Pledgor in the Collateral appears (the “Custodian”) to execute and deliver, contemporaneously herewith, a control agreement or other agreement satisfactory to the Secured Party (the “Control Agreement”) in order to perfect and protect the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.

7. Further Assurances. By its signature hereon, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party, at any time and from time to time, to execute (on behalf of the Pledgor), file and record against the Pledgor any notice, financing statement, continuation statement, amendment statement, instrument, document or

- 2 -

agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code that the Secured Party may consider necessary or desirable to create, preserve, continue, perfect or validate any security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Secured Party to exercise or enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact to do all acts and things in the Pledgor’s name that the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest with full power of substitution and is irrevocable. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

8. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may separately agree, including electronic mail. Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices. Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party’s address as set forth above or to such other address as either the Pledgor or the Secured Party may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this section.

9. Preservation of Rights. (a) No delay or omission on the Secured Party’s part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Secured Party’s action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Secured Party may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.

(b) The Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Pledgor unless otherwise expressly required pursuant to the terms of the Obligations, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Pledgor’s liabilities hereunder, (i) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (ii) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other pledge or security agreements, or any security for any Obligations; (iii) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Pledgor or the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion; (iv) deal with any other person with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Secured Party deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (v) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (vi) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein. The Pledgor hereby waives (a) presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of non-payment and all other notices to which the Pledgor might otherwise be entitled, and (b) all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

10. Illegality. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Pledge Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions in this Pledge Agreement.

11. Changes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by the Pledgor from, any provision of this Pledge Agreement will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case will entitle the Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

12. Entire Agreement.
