Each limited liability company interest in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. THE TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND/OR THE INTEREST EVIDENCED HEREBY IS RESTRICTED AS PROVIDED IN THE OPERATING AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME).”
(b) Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not agree to any amendment or repeal of Section 34 of the Envy Development Operating Agreement or Section 34 of the Envy Recreational Operating Agreement, in any event shall promptly notify Lender in writing if for any reason the Pledged Securities shall cease to be securities for purposes of the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction.
(c) Pledgor hereby instructs Borrower to register on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s books and records the pledge of the Pledged Interests in Borrower by Pledgor to Lender. In the event that at any time after the date hereof any Collateral shall be evidenced by an instrument or a certificate other than the Pledged Securities, Pledgor shall or shall cause Borrower to promptly deliver any such instrument or certificate, duly endorsed or subscribed by Pledgor or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank by Pledgor, to Lender as additional Collateral. Any such instruments or certificates received by Pledgor shall be held by Pledgor in trust, as agent for ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(d) Pledgor shall give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary (in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇) to create, preserve or perfect the security interest granted pursuant
| 4 |
hereto or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty, to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest, including, without limitation, causing any or all of the Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of Lender or its nominee (and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that if any Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will thereafter promptly give to Pledgor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to the Collateral).
(e) Pledgor shall permit representatives of Lender, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and permit representatives of Lender to be present at Pledgor’s place of business to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral, and forward copies of any notices or communications received by Pledgor with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as Lender may reasonably require.
(f) Pledgor hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC-1 financing statements, including without limitation an “all assets” filing, with respect to the Collateral. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Lender may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements (and amendments of financing statements and continuation statements) that name Pledgor as debtor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as secured party and that cover all personal property or all assets of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby ratifies the filing of any such financing statements (or amendments of financing statements or continuation statements) that were filed prior to the execution hereof.
3.2 Preservation of Rights. Except in accordance with applicable law, Lender shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
3.3 Pledged Collateral; Distributions.
(a) So long as no a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall have the right to exercise all of Pledgor’s rights under the Relevant Documents for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Payment Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein, including the right to receive distributions on the Collateral (subject however to the obligation of Borrower, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, to make payments of all Available Cash during a Cash Management Period to Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement) and other rights relating to the Pledged Interests; and Lender shall execute and deliver to Pledgor or cause to be executed and delivered to Pledgor all such proxies, powers of attorney, distribution and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Pledgor to exercise the rights and powers which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 3.3(a).
(b) If any a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty shall have occurred, then so long as such default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty shall continue, and
| 5 |
whether or not Lender exercises any available right to declare any of the Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) all distributions on the Collateral shall be paid directly to Lender for application to the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof and the Payment Guaranty, (ii) if Lender shall so request in writing, Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver to Lender appropriate distribution and other orders and documents to that end and (iii) Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Borrower, after a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty and for so long as such default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty is continuing, to pay all such distributions on the Collateral directly to the Lender for application to the Obligations in the order, priority and manner set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement. The foregoing authorization and instructions are irrevocable, may be relied upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and may not be modified in any manner other than by the Lender sending to Borrower a notice terminating such authorization and direction.
(c) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Pledgor shall remain liable under the Relevant Documents to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Lender of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the Relevant Documents and (iii) Lender shall have no obligation or liability under the Relevant Documents by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder, except as provided by applicable law.
3.4 Events of Default; Remedies, etc. During the period during which a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to Section 3.10 hereof:
(a) Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Lender were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(b) Lender in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(c) Lender may, upon 20 days’ prior written notice to Pledgor of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of Lender or any of its agents, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as Lender deems best, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such
| 6 |
disposition or of time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived) and Lender or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale), and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Pledgor, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Lender 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned;
(d) Lender may exercise all membership rights, powers and privileges to the same extent as Pledgor is entitled to exercise such rights, powers and privileges;
(e) Upon notice to Pledgor, Lender may cause the Pledged Interests to be sold in accordance with Subsection (c) above and, in connection therewith, cause each purchaser of all or any part of any Pledged Interests to be admitted as a new member or owner of Borrower to the extent of such Pledged Interests, and cause Pledgor to withdraw as a member or owner of Borrower to the extent such Pledged Interests is sold (in accordance with Subsection (c) above), and, if appropriate, cause one or more amended or restated certificates of limited partnership, certificates of limited liability company or articles of incorporation to be filed with respect to Borrower;
(f) Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies of Pledgor under or in connection with the Relevant Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of Pledgor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Relevant Documents; and
(g) all payments received by Pledgor under or in connection with the Relevant Documents in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 3.4 shall be applied by Lender to the Obligations pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof.
3.5 Private Sale. Pledgor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the 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 to a restricted group of 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. Pledgor 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 Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Borrower or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the
| 7 |
Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Borrower or Pledgor would agree to do so.
(a) Pledgor further shall use commercially reasonable 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 Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.5 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 3.5 will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 3.5 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default by Pledgor exists under the Payment Guaranty.
(b) 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. Pledgor 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 Obligations, even if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale.
(c) The Code states that Lender is able to purchase the Pledged Interests only if they are sold at a public sale. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. The Code permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether Lender has complied with its obligations under Article 9. Pledgor specifically agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty (x) it shall not raise any objection to Lender’s purchase of the Pledged Interests provided that such purchase occurs in accordance with the terms hereof (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) 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 not be considered commercially unreasonable solely because Lender has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Pledgor or Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall not be considered to be commercially unreasonable solely because Lender purchases the Pledged Interests at such a sale.
(d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any 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, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance
| 8 |
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 less than fifteen (15) Business Days before the foreclosure sale, Lender notifies Pledgor 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 at a location in New York, New York designated by Lender on any Business Day between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or, if public health or other considerations make a live auction inadvisable in the good faith determination of Lender, such auction may be conducted virtually using generally accepted video, web or tele-conferencing technology that simulates a live auction to the extent reasonably feasible (in which case notices under clause (iii) above and clauses (v) and (vi) below shall include instructions as to how qualified bidders may obtain login credentials for such virtual auction);
(v) The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published prior to the date of the foreclosure sale in (A) The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (or if The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are no longer publishing, such other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) for any three (3) consecutive business days; and (B) and Commercial Mortgage Alert (or if Commercial Mortgage Alert is no longer publishing, another real estate-related trade publication selected in good faith by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that is circulated in New York, New York or online) for any three (3) consecutive publication dates; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all Persons from which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received written notice of a claim or interest in any Collateral and 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.
3.6 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by Lender under this Section 3, shall be applied by Lender:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender and the fees and expenses of their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, and advances made or incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection therewith;
| 9 |
Next, to the payment in full of the Obligations; and
Finally, to the payment to Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 3, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of Pledgor or any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.
3.7 Cooperation. If Lender shall elect to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral as and when permitted pursuant to this Agreement or by applicable law, Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Lender, Pledgor will, at its own expense: (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, and cause Borrower and the members, managers, partners, directors and/or officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectuses which, in the opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto; (b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Collateral under the state securities laws or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by Lender; (c) cause the Borrower to make available to their respective security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; (d) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of the Borrower to execute and deliver, to any Person or governmental authority as Lender may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where Pledgor or Borrower engages in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Pledged Interests or otherwise enforce ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights hereunder; (e) provide, or and cause Borrower and the members, managers, partners, directors and/or officers to provide, tours of the Property to prospective bidders at any such sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, and (f) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.
3.8 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty Lender is hereby appointed, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as Lender shall be entitled under this Section 3 to make
| 10 |
collections in respect of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Pledgor representing any payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The power-of-attorney granted herein shall terminate automatically if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts a cure for such default.
3.9 Termination. When all Obligations shall have been paid in full, Lender shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever (except that Lender has not sold, created or suffered to exist thereon any lien, security interest or encumbrance in favor of any third party) any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of Pledgor.
3.10 Standstill Period.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that, for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days following the day upon which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have first served notice upon Pledgor in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof that an Event of Default or a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty has occurred (the “Standstill Period”), Lender shall not consummate a Foreclosure Closing. As used herein, “Foreclosure Closing” means (i) the closing or other consummation of any sale, assignment or other disposition of the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof (including to Lender or its designee), including the delivery of the Pledged Securities and the Assignment of Interest to the purchaser or transferee, (ii) Lender’s acceptance of the Pledged Interests in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, and (iii) the admission of any purchaser or transferee as a member of Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(e) hereof.
(b) The Standstill Period shall be tolled during any period in which Lender is prohibited from exercising remedies due to applicable law, court order, or bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding affecting Borrower or the Collateral.
(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 3.10(a) hereof, nothing in this Section 3.10 shall limit or restrict Lender’s right, at any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default by Pledgor under the Payment Guaranty (including during the Standstill Period), to initiate, commence and diligently pursue any and all rights and remedies available to it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation: (i) exercising any right or remedy under Section 3.3(b), Section 3.4 (other than consummating a Foreclosure Closing) or Section 7.1 hereof, including all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Interests; (ii) delivering and publishing all notices of disposition or sale required or contemplated by Sections 3.4 and 3.5 hereof, and scheduling, marketing and conducting a public or private sale of the Pledged Interests (provided that no Foreclosure Closing shall occur prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period); and (iii) exercising any right or remedy against Borrower, the Property or any collateral other than the Pledged Interests

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Patriot Act” shall mean the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, as the same was restored and amended by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline over Monitoring Act (USA FREEDOM ACTS OF 2015), as the same may be amended from time to time, and corresponding provisions of future laws.

App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder, with the result that the investment in Pledgor (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law (each, an “Embargoed Person”), or the Loan made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would be in violation of law, (ii) no Embargoed Person shall have any interest of any nature whatsoever in Pledgor, with the result that the investment in Pledgor (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law, and (iii) none of the funds of Pledgor shall be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in Pledgor (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law.
