obligations of the Borrowers under the Note, pursuant to that certain Stock
Pledge Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2000, by and among Gold & Xxxxx,
Revision, FINDS and Xxxxxxxx, as pledgors, and the Pledgee, as pledgee. On

herein) of Covista shares, such agreement was amended and restated (as so
amended and restated, the "Existing Pledge Agreement") to reflect certain
amendments, including the pledge by Gold & Xxxxx of certain shares of capital
stock of Capsule (as defined herein) to the Pledgee as additional security for
the performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Note.

of Epoch to the Pledgee as additional security for the performance of the
obligations of the Borrowers under the Note. In addition, Entree has agreed

E. Entree is the legal and beneficial owner of a limited liability
company interest in Red Tulip (the "LLC Interest"), which term shall include
all of Entree's (or, if applicable, any other Pledgor's) rights in, to and
under the Red Tulip Operating Agreement, as hereinafter defined) pursuant to

Startec or Red Tulip, as the case may be, or upon the reorganization of
Covista, Capsule, Startec or Red Tulip, as the case may be) to be paid
directly to the Pledgee (and if any such dividends or distributions are
received by any Pledgor, such Pledgor will hold them in trust for the benefit
of, and will immediately turn them over to, the Pledgee) and the Pledgee will
hold and dispose of all such dividends and distributions as part of the
Collateral.
6.4 Records; Inspection. Each Pledgor will keep full and accurate
books and records relating to the Collateral, and stamp or otherwise xxxx such
books and records in such manner as is required in order to reflect the pledge
and security interest granted pursuant hereto. Each Pledgor will permit
representatives of the Pledgee at any time upon reasonable advance notice to
inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the
Collateral and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral with officers of
each Pledgor that is a corporation or other entity and with each Pledgor that
is an individual.
6.5 Costs, Expenses and Certain Taxes. Pledgors (a) will pay to the
Pledgee from time to time on demand any and all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, paid or incurred by or on behalf of
the Pledgee in connection with this Agreement, the Existing Pledge Agreement
or the Note or in connection with any modification, amendment, alteration or
enforcement of this Agreement, the Existing Pledge Agreement or the Note or
the collection of any amount payable by any Pledgor hereunder or under the
Existing Pledge Agreement or the Note, whether or not any legal proceeding is
commenced hereunder or thereunder and whether or not any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) will jointly and severally
indemnify the Pledgee on demand against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Pledgee (other than any such loss, liability or expense
directly attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Pledgee) arising out of or in connection with any action or omission of the
Pledgee hereunder or under the Existing Pledge Agreement or the Note,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability (including any claim by any Pledgor) in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder. All
amounts payable to the Pledgee under this Section accrue interest until paid
in full at the rate of 18% per annum, from the date of demand therefor. All
such amounts shall constitute additional indebtedness of the Pledgors secured
hereunder and shall be payable on demand. Pledgors will also pay, and will
hold the Pledgee harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamps, excise, sales or other
taxes or assessments which may be payable or determined to be payable with
respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Existing Pledge Agreement or the Note.
All expenses incident to the Pledgors' and Covista's performance of or
compliance with Section 6.7, and all expenses incident to the Pledgors' and
Capsule's performance of or compliance with Section 6.8, including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, all fees and expenses of
complying with securities or blue sky laws, National Association of Securities
Dealers' fees, all printing expenses, the fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Covista or Capsule and of their respective independent public
accountants, and the expenses of any special audits made by such accountants
required by or incident to such performance and compliance, shall be paid by
the Pledgors; provided, however, that Covista agrees that it will complete the
registrations, qualifications and compliance required pursuant to Section 6.7
even if it does not receive payment or reimbursement of such expenses from the
Pledgors and Capsule agrees that, if registration of Capsule Pledged Stock is
required pursuant to this Agreement, it will complete the registrations,
qualifications and compliance required pursuant to Section 6.8(a) even if it
does not receive payment or reimbursement of such expenses from the Pledgors.
6.6 Priority of Security Interest; Further Assurances. (a) Each
Pledgor will at all times cause the security interest granted pursuant to this
Agreement to constitute a valid perfected first priority security interest in
the Collateral, enforceable as such against all creditors of such Pledgor and
any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Pledgor.
(b) Each Pledgor will at any time and from time to time, at its own
expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents,
and take all further actions, as may be necessary or desirable, or that the
Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to (i) grant more effectively a
security interest in favor of the Pledgee in all or any portion of the
Collateral, (ii) maintain, preserve, or perfect the security interest and lien
created or purported to be created by this Agreement and the first priority
status of such security interest and lien, (iii) preserve and defend against
any Person such Pledgor's title to the Collateral and the rights purported to
be granted therein by this Agreement, (iv) enable the Pledgee to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, or (v) carry out more effectively
the purposes of this Agreement. If the issuer of Pledged Stock is
incorporated in a jurisdiction which does not permit the use of certificates
to evidence equity ownership of such Pledged Stock or permit a lien in favor
of the Pledgee to be perfected by the possession by the Pledgee of the
certificates representing such Pledged Stock, then the Pledgors will to the
extent permitted by applicable law, record such lien on the stock register of
such issuer, execute any customary stock pledge forms or other documents
necessary to create, evidence or provide for the perfection of such lien and
give the Pledgee the right to transfer such Pledged Stock under the terms
hereof and provide to the Pledgee an opinion of counsel of such jurisdiction,
in form and substance satisfactory to it, confirming the effectiveness,
perfection and priority of such lien.
6.7 Registration of Covista Pledged Stock. Pledgors, as soon as
practicable and at their sole cost and expense, will procure (and Covista
agrees) that registration and other qualification of the Covista Pledged Stock
under Federal and state securities laws shall be effected by Covista (and kept
continuously effective in compliance with such laws for up to one year after
the Maturity Date as set forth in the Note) so as to permit or facilitate the
sale and distribution of such securities, including, without limitation,
"shelf" registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), appropriate qualifications under applicable "blue sky" or
other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other
governmental requirements. The Pledgors (and Covista) shall ensure that such
registration is declared effective under the Securities Act and all other such
qualifications and compliance are completed prior to the Maturity Date as set
forth in the Note. Pledgors shall cause Covista to agree (and Covista agrees)
to list the Covista Pledged Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Pledgors will
cause the Pledgee to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each
such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion
thereof, will give the Pledgee, any underwriter and their counsel reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on the registration statement and other
documents incident thereto, to conduct due diligence on Covista and to
participate in the process, will furnish to the Pledgee such number of
prospectuses, preliminary prospectuses, prospectus supplements or amendments
or other documents incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may
reasonably request, and will indemnify the Pledgee and all others
participating in the distribution of such securities against all claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including any related registration statement, notification or the like)
incident to such registration or by any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except (as to the Pledgee) insofar
as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon
information furnished in writing to Pledgor by the Pledgee expressly for use
therein. The registration statement filed with respect to the Covista Pledged
Stock and the prospectus contained therein shall cover only the Covista
Pledged Stock and no other securities. The Pledgors will cause Covista (and
Covista agrees) to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter called "SEC") or similar
federal commission, and of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national
securities exchange on which any of the Covista Pledged Stock is listed, if
any, for so long as the registration is effective, to make available to its
security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a
period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the
first month after the effective date of the registration statement, which
earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of and Rule
158 under the Securities Act, and to make timely filing of all reports with
the SEC to enable the holders of the Covista Pledged Stock, if they so elect,
to utilize Rule 144 of the Securities Act in disposing of said securities.
Pledgors (and Covista) agree that, at Pledgee's request, Covista shall enter
into an underwriting agreement, which shall include, without limitation,
indemnification and contribution provisions and a "hold-back" or "lock-up"
provision covering at least 90 days and shall otherwise be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Pledgee, with an underwriter for the
Covista Pledged Stock chosen by Pledgee in its sole discretion, and furnish or
cause to be furnished to such underwriter and Pledgee a customary opinion of
counsel and accountant's comfort letter.
6.8 Registration of Capsule Pledged Stock; Delivery of Certificates
Representing Startec Stock Upon Consummation of Proposed Merger Transaction;
Covenant Not to Sell Startec Stock. (a) The remaining provisions of this
Section 6.8(a) shall apply in the event that (i) a definitive Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization relating to the Proposed Merger Transaction (the
"Merger Agreement") is not entered into by November 10, 2000 or (ii) the
Merger Agreement terminates without the Proposed Merger Transaction having
been consummated. Pledgors, as soon as practicable and at their sole cost and
expense, will procure (and Capsule agrees) that registration and other
qualification of the Capsule Pledged Stock under Federal and state securities
laws shall be effected by Capsule (and kept continuously effective in
compliance with such laws for up to one year after the Maturity Date as set
forth in the Note) so as to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of
such securities, including, without limitation, "shelf" registration under the
Securities Act, appropriate qualifications under applicable "blue sky" or
other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other
governmental requirements. The Pledgors (and Capsule) shall ensure that such
registration is declared effective under the Securities Act and all other such
qualifications and compliance are completed prior to the Maturity Date as set
forth in the Note. Pledgors shall cause Capsule to agree (and Capsule agrees)
to list the Capsule Pledged Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Pledgors will
cause the Pledgee to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each
such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion
thereof, will give the Pledgee, any underwriter and their counsel reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on the registration statement and other
documents incident thereto, to conduct due diligence on Capsule and to
participate in the process, will furnish to the Pledgee such number of
prospectuses, preliminary prospectuses, prospectus supplements or amendments
or other documents incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may
reasonably request, and will indemnify the Pledgee and all others
participating in the distribution of such securities against all claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including any related registration statement, notification or the like)
incident to such registration or by any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except (as to the Pledgee) insofar
as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon
information furnished in writing to Pledgor by the Pledgee expressly for use
therein. The registration statement filed with respect to the Capsule Pledged
Stock and the prospectus contained therein shall cover only the Capsule
Pledged Stock and no other securities. The Pledgors will cause Capsule (and
Capsule agrees) to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
or similar federal commission, and of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other
national securities exchange on which any of the Capsule Pledged Stock is
listed, if any, for so long as the registration is effective, to make
available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement covering a period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18
months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the
registration statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of and Rule 158 under the Securities Act, and to make timely
filing of all reports with the SEC to enable the holders of the Capsule
Pledged Stock, if they so elect, to utilize Rule 144 of the Securities Act in
disposing of said securities. Pledgors (and Capsule) agree that, at Pledgee's
request, Capsule shall enter into an underwriting agreement, which shall
include, without limitation, indemnification and contribution provisions and a
"hold-back" or "lock-up" provision covering at least 90 days and shall
otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pledgee, with an
underwriter for the Capsule Pledged Stock chosen by Pledgee in its sole
discretion, and furnish or cause to be furnished to such underwriter and
Pledgee a customary opinion of counsel and accountant's comfort letter.
(b) Upon consummation of the Proposed Merger Transaction, the
Pledgors shall immediately deliver to the Pledgee all certificates or other
writings representing or evidencing any shares of common stock of Startec
Global Communications Corporation issued to any Pledgor in exchange for shares
of capital stock of Capsule constituting Capsule Pledged Stock, either in
suitable form for transfer by delivery, or issued in the name of such Pledgor
and accompanied by stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer
or assignment, duly executed by such Pledgor in blank and undated, and in
either case having attached thereto all requisite federal or state stock
transfer tax stamps, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Pledgee
and, unless waived in writing by the Pledgee, accompanied by an opinion or
opinions of counsel to the pledgor of such shares of common stock of Startec
Global Communications Corporation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Pledgee (which opinion shall indicate, among other things, that upon
expiration of the contractual restriction imposed by the Stock Restriction
Agreement and assuming compliance by the Pledgors with the covenant set forth
in Section 6.8(c) of this Agreement and the existence of circumstances which
permit the Pledgee to sell such shares pursuant to this Agreement, all such
shares of common stock of Startec Global Communications Corporation shall be
freely transferable by the Pledgee without further need for registration or
qualification).
(c) In the event that the Proposed Merger Transaction is consummated,
the Pledgors hereby covenant and agree that Gold & Xxxxx will not sell or
otherwise transfer pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or permit the

shares of Startec Stock beneficially owned by it until the expiration of the
three-month period following the expiration of the six-month restriction on
sales of Startec capital stock imposed or to be imposed pursuant to the Stock
Restriction Agreements entered into or to be entered into by and among
Startec, Gold & Xxxxx and FINDS (the "Stock Restriction Agreements").

SECTION 7. RIGHTS OF THE PLEDGEE.
7.1 No Obligations or Liability to Pledgors. The rights and powers
of the Pledgee hereunder are not contingent upon the pursuit by the Pledgee of
any right or remedy against any Pledgor or against any other Person which may
be or become liable in respect of any of the Secured Obligations or against
any other collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with
respect thereto, but are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral.
The Pledgee will not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize
upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor is
the Pledgee under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any
other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. No
action or inaction on the part of the Pledgee hereunder or under the Note will
release any Pledgor from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Note,
or constitute an assumption of any such obligations on the part of the
Pledgee, or cause the Pledgee to become subject to any obligation or liability
to any Pledgor. The Pledgee has no obligation to perform any of the
obligations or duties of any Pledgor as a shareholder of Covista or Capsule.
7.2 Right of Pledgee to Perform Pledgor's Covenants, Etc. If any
Pledgor fails to make any payment or to perform any agreement required to be
made or performed hereunder, the Pledgee may (but need not) at any time
thereafter make such payment or perform such act, or otherwise cause such
payment or performance. No such action will create any liability to any
Pledgor on the part of the Pledgee. All amounts so paid by the Pledgee and
all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred by the Pledgee in any such performance shall accrue
interest from the date paid or disbursed until reimbursed to the Pledgee in
full by or on behalf of the Pledgors at the rate established in Section 6.5.
All such amounts shall constitute additional indebtedness of the Pledgors
secured hereunder and shall be payable on demand.
7.3 Right of Pledgee to Demand Additional Pledged Shares. The
Pledgee shall have the right at any time, at its sole discretion, to demand by
written notice to the Pledgors that the Pledgors pledge to the Pledgee
additional shares of common stock of Capsule, Covista or, if the Proposed
Merger Transaction has been consummated, Startec (or, subject to the approval
of the Pledgee in its sole discretion, shares of stock of one or more other
entities) owned of record and beneficially by one or more of the Pledgors if,
at such time, the sum of (i) the Combined Market Value plus (ii) the Private
Company Stock Value plus (iii) the LLC Interest Value is less than
$13,000,000; provided that, for purposes of this Section 7.3, after March 31,
2001, such amount of $13,000,000.00 shall be reduced to $10,000,000.00 if by
such date the Borrowers have duly made a principal payment on the Note of
$3,000,000.00 to the order of the Pledgee, in accordance with the terms of the
Note. The number of shares that may be demanded pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall, at the time of any such demand, be a number of shares such
that the sum of the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), after accounting
for such additional shares, is equal to $13,000,000 or $10,000,000.00, as the
case may be. All shares at any time demanded pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 7.3 shall be "Demanded Shares." Unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the Pledgee, all Demanded Shares, to the extent that they would not
be freely transferable by the Pledgee if sold by the Pledgee in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, shall be subject to
registration requirements equivalent to those set forth in Section 6.7 of this
Agreement with respect to Covista Pledged Stock. The Pledgee and the Pledgors
agree that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Pledgee
shall at no time be required to release from the pledge or return to the
Pledgors any Collateral.
7.4 Release of the Pledge and Security Interest Created Hereby. Upon
payment in full of the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on
the Note in accordance with its terms and payment or satisfaction of all other
Secured Obligations, the Pledgee will, upon the written request of all
Pledgors, return to the Pledgors all Collateral held by the Pledgee. Upon
such payment or satisfaction, Pledgee will execute and deliver to the Pledgors
such documents as the Pledgors may reasonably request to evidence the payment
or satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or the release of the Collateral,
as the case may be.
7.5 Partial Release of Pledged Shares Under Certain Circumstances.
In the event that the sum of (i) the Combined Market Value plus (ii) the LLC
Interest Value exceeds $15,000,000, and so long as no Default or Event of
Default is continuing at such time, the Pledgors, by a written request
executed by each Pledgor and delivered to the Pledgee, shall have the right to
request that the Pledgee release from the pledge and return to the Pledgors,
at the address identified in such notice, certificates representing specified
shares of Pledged Stock previously pledged to the Pledgee and held at such
time by the Pledgee. Such notice shall specify certificates (the "Specified
Release Certificates") representing a number of shares of Pledged Stock such
that the sum of the Combined Market Value plus the LLC Interest Value, after
accounting for the release of the Specified Release Certificates and
calculated as of the date of such release, will equal or exceed $15,000,000;
provided that, (x) for purposes of this Section 7.5, after March 31, 2001,
such amount of $15,000,000.00 shall be reduced to $12,000,000.00 if by such
date the Borrowers have duly made a principal payment on the Note of
$3,000,000.00 to the order of the Pledgee, in accordance with the terms of the
Note, (y) none of the Epoch Shares or the shares of any other entity not
publicly traded on a market or exchange that have been previously pledged to
the Pledgee pursuant to this Agreement and are held at such time by the
Pledgee shall be eligible to be released pursuant to this Section 7.5, and (z)
no shares of Covista shall be released pursuant to this Section 7.5 unless and
until all shares of Capsule and all shares of any other entity (other than
those entities whose shares are ineligible for release under this Section 7.5
pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) previously pledged to the Pledgee and
held at such time by the Pledgee have been released. Within ten business days
after its receipt of a valid notice, in accordance with this paragraph, the
Pledgee shall return to the Pledgors at the address identified in such notice
the Specified Release Certificates. Nothing in this paragraph shall require
the Pledgee to release and return the Specified Release Certificates, or any
other shares or certificates in lieu thereof, if the sum of the Combined
Market Value plus the LLC Interest Value, after accounting for the release of
the Specified Release Certificates and calculated as of the date of such
release, would be below $15,000,000 or $12,000,000, as the case may be.
SECTION 8. REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT.
8.1 Remedies in Case of an Event of Default. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, then in addition to the actions referred to in
Section 5.2 the Pledgee may take any or all of the following actions, without
demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind to
or upon Pledgors or any other Person (except as specified in Section 8.1(b))
all and each of which are hereby expressly waived by Pledgors:
(a) The Pledgee may, in its own name or at its sole option in the
name of any Pledgor, exercise any or all of the rights, powers and privileges
of, and pursue any or all of the remedies accorded to, any Pledgor under the
Collateral and may exclude such Pledgor and all Persons claiming by, through
or under such Pledgor wholly or partly therefrom, including in such rights,
privileges and remedies, but without limitation, all rights of such Pledgor to
demand, receive, xxx for, compromise and settle all payments in respect of the
Collateral, and in connection therewith to exercise all rights and remedies
thereunder which such Pledgor could enforce if this Agreement had not been
made.
(b) The Pledgee may forthwith collect, recover, receive, appropriate
and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith
sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or at any of the Pledgee's offices or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk. The Pledgee need not make any sale of Collateral even if notice thereof
has been given, may reject any and all bids that in its commercially
reasonable discretion it shall deem inadequate, and may adjourn any public or
private sale. Pledgors hereby acknowledge that the Collateral (other than the
Epoch Shares and the LLC Interest) is of a type that could decline speedily in
value and is also of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, in each
case within the meaning of Section 9-504 of the UCC as in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction, and that the Pledgee need not give any notice to
Pledgors prior to any sale of the Collateral at any exchange, broker's board
or in any other recognized market. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Pledgor agrees that, with respect to any of the Collateral, the Pledgee need
not give more than five days notice of the time and place of any public sale
or of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to
take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters,
and waives all other demands or notices of any kind.
(c) In addition to the rights described in the foregoing clauses (a)
and (b), with respect to the LLC Interest, the Pledgee may (i) use, operate,
store, control or manage the LLC Interest, including without limitation
carrying on the business of Red Tulip and exercising all rights and powers of
Entree relating to the LLC Interest, and (ii) transfer all rights in and under
the Red Tulip Operating Agreement, including without limitation (but subject
to the terms of the Red Tulip Operating Agreement) the right to become a
substitute Member (as such term is defined in the Red Tulip Operating
Agreement) of Red Tulip. At the request of the Pledgee, Entree and Xxxxxxxx
shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments of title and other
documents as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to permit the Pledgee
to fully exercise its rights hereunder.
(d) The Pledgee may, as a matter of right and without notice to any
Pledgor or any Person claiming by, through or under any Pledgor, cause the
appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral.
(e) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in
this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing
or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgee will have and may
exercise with respect to any or all of the Collateral all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other legal and equitable
remedies allowed under applicable law.
Each Pledgor consents to and ratifies any action which the Pledgee may
take to enforce its rights under this Section 8.1. Each Pledgor waives to the
full extent permitted by law the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension, moratorium and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all
rights of marshaling in the event of the sale of the Collateral or any part
thereof or any interest therein. Each Pledgor will execute and deliver such
documents as the Pledgee deems advisable or necessary in order that any such
sale or disposition be made in compliance with applicable law.
Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof or
interest therein in the exercise of any remedy hereunder will constitute a
perpetual bar against each Pledgor and any Persons claiming by, through or
under any Pledgor. Upon any such sale or other disposition, the receipt of
the officer or agent making the sale or other disposition or of the Pledgee is
a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such
purchaser will have no duty to see to the application thereof.
8.2 Application of Proceeds Following an Event of Default. All
amounts held or collected by the Pledgee as part of the Collateral (including,
without limitation, all amounts realized as a result of the exercise of any
rights and remedies hereunder) following the occurrence of any Event of
Default will be applied forthwith by the Pledgee as follows:
FIRST: to the payment of all costs and expenses of such exercise
(including, without limitation, the cost of evidence of title and the costs
and expenses, if any, of taking possession of, retaining custody over and
preserving the Collateral or any part thereof, or any interest therein prior
to such exercise), all costs and expenses of any receiver of the Collateral or
any part thereof, or any interest therein, any taxes, assessments or charges
with respect to any of the Collateral, whether or not prior to the lien of
this Agreement, which the Pledgee may consider it necessary or desirable to
pay and all amounts due and payable to the Pledgee under Section 6.5 and
unpaid;
SECOND: to the payment of the accrued and unpaid interest (including
interest on unpaid principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
unpaid interest) of the Note in accordance with the provisions of the Note;
THIRD: if the Note has not become due and payable in full, to the
payment of all outstanding principal then due and payable on the Note;
FOURTH: if the Note has become due and payable in full whether at
maturity, by prepayment, acceleration, declaration of default or otherwise, to
the payment of the outstanding principal of the Note in accordance with the
provisions of the Note;
FIFTH: to the ratable payment to the Persons entitled thereto of all
other obligations secured hereunder for which moneys have not theretofore been
applied; and
SIXTH: at such time as all of the obligations of the Pledgors under the
Note have been paid in full in cash or in stock in accordance with the terms
of the Note and all other Secured Obligations have been paid or performed to
the satisfaction of the Pledgee, the remainder, if any, will be paid over to
Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
8.3 Purchase of Collateral by Pledgee. The Pledgee may be a
purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein at any
sale or other disposition hereunder and may apply against the purchase price
the indebtedness secured hereby.
8.4 Purchaser to Acquire Good Title. Any purchaser of the Collateral
at any sale or other disposition thereof pursuant to this Section 8 will, upon
any such purchase, acquire good title to the Collateral so purchased free of
the lien and security interest created by this Agreement and free of all
rights of equity or redemption in any Pledgor, which rights each Pledgor
hereby expressly waives and releases to the full extent permitted by law, and
each Pledgor will warrant and defend the title of such purchaser against all
claims arising by, through or under the Pledgors. Nevertheless, if so
requested by the Pledgee or any such purchaser, each Pledgor will ratify and
confirm any exercise of remedies by the Pledgee hereunder by executing and
delivering to the Pledgee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments,
releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and
confirmation as may be designated in any such request. In addition, each
Pledgor will do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be
reasonably necessary to make such exercise of remedies valid and binding and
in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs,
injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or
governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
any such exercise, all at such Pledgor's expense.
8.5 Sale of Pledged Stock or LLC Interest Without Registration.
Pledgor recognizes that, under certain circumstances, (i) the Pledgee may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Stock and/or the
LLC Interest by reason of the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign
securities laws or otherwise, but may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such property for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and
who otherwise satisfy the requirements of any such applicable law, and
(ii) any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable
to the seller than if such sale were a public sale. No such sale will be
deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner for the reason
that it was made as a private sale rather than a public sale, and the Pledgee
will be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock and/or
the LLC Interest for the period of time necessary to permit the registration
of any securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, or otherwise comply with applicable law,
even if the issuer thereof would agree or has agreed to do so and would be
able to do so.
8.6 Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Pledgee, with full power of substitution, as such
Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise,
from time to time in the Pledgee's discretion, to execute and deliver any and
all bills of sale, assignments, instruments of title or other instruments
which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in its exercise of any of
the remedies hereunder, and to take any other action to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to ask, demand,
collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipt
for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral,
to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents
and chattel paper in connection therewith, and to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings which the Pledgee may deem to be necessary
or desirable for the collection thereof, such Pledgor hereby ratifying and
confirming all that such attorney or any substitute may lawfully do by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.
8.7 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No action or inaction of the
Pledgee will be deemed to waive any of the rights, powers or remedies of the
Pledgee hereunder except pursuant to a writing, signed by the Pledgee, and
then only to the extent expressly set forth therein. A waiver by the Pledgee
of any right, power or remedy on any one occasion will not bar the exercise of
any right, power or remedy hereunder on any future occasion. No failure of
the Pledgee to exercise nor delay of the Pledgee in exercising any right,
power or remedy will preclude the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. If the Pledgee accepts payment of any amount secured hereby after its
due date, it will not thereby be deemed to have waived its right to require
prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable hereunder. Each right,
power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or now or
hereafter existing at law or equity or by statute or otherwise is cumulative
and concurrent and is in addition to every other such right, power or remedy
of the Pledgee, and the exercise of any one or more of any such rights, powers
or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral will not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee of any other right, power or
remedy with respect to any other Collateral.
8.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Pledgee has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, with or without notice to Pledgors, or has been determined adversely
to the Pledgee, then and in every such case Pledgors and the Pledgee will be
restored to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights,
powers and remedies of the Pledgee will continue as though no such proceeding
had been instituted.
SECTION 9. PLEDGOR'S OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED.
The covenants and agreements of each Pledgor set forth herein are primary
obligations of such Pledgor. All such obligations are absolute and
unconditional, are not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction,
diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense
(other than full and strict compliance by such Pledgor with its obligations
hereunder) based upon any claim any Pledgor, Covista, Capsule, Startec, Red
Tulip or any other Person may have against the Pledgee or any other Person.
All such obligations will remain in full force and effect without regard to,
and will not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any
unenforceability, invalidity or other infirmity with respect to the Note, or
any other circumstance, condition or occurrence whatsoever, whether
foreseeable or unforeseeable and without regard to whether the Pledgee, any
Pledgor, Covista, Capsule, Startec, Red Tulip or any other entity the capital
stock of which (or an equivalent equity interest in which) has been pledged to
Pledgee to secure the Borrowers' obligations under the Note shall have any
knowledge or notice thereof.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1 Amendments, Etc. Any amendment, modification or waiver of any
term or provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the
Pledgee. Any such waiver will be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it is given.
10.2 Pledgee to be Bound by Stock Restriction Agreements and Voting
Agreements. The Pledgee agrees to execute and be bound by the Stock
Restriction Agreements and the Voting Agreements entered into or to be entered
into by and among Startec, a subsidiary of Startec, Xxxxxxxx and Gold & Xxxxx,
in each case in form and substance substantially in accordance with drafts of
such agreements provided to the Pledgee prior to the date hereof, to the
extent that such agreements (i) place limitations for specified periods on the
transfer of shares of Startec Stock or shares of Capsule stock, in each case
which have been pledged to the Pledgee, or (ii) require during a specified
period that votes cast with respect to shares of Capsule stock which have been
pledged to the Pledgee be cast in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement
and the Proposed Merger Transaction, in favor of any matter or transaction
that is reasonably required to effect the merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or against any other acquisition
proposal or matters which could reasonably be expected to facilitate any other
acquisition proposal.
10.3 Survival of Agreements, Representations and Warranties. All
agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the
Note or made in writing by or on behalf of any Pledgor in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Note will survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation at any time made
by or on behalf of the Pledgee, the purchase of any Note or any payment of any
Note or any disposition of any Note.
10.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and will
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not.
10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Note embody the entire
agreement and understanding between Pledgors and the Pledgee with respect to
the transaction referred to herein and therein and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the pledge of
collateral to the Pledgee to secure the obligations of the Pledgors under the
Note.
10.6 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction,
ineffective only to the extent made necessary by such prohibition or
unenforceability. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable (i) the remaining
provisions hereof or (ii) such provision in any other jurisdiction. There
shall be substituted for any such provision so rendered ineffective a
provision which, as far as legally possible, most nearly reflects the intent
of the parties hereto.
10.7 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING.
10.8 Agreement May Constitute Financing Statement. Each Pledgor
consents to the filing of this Agreement or a photocopy thereof as a financing
statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction
in which the Pledgee may determine such filing to be necessary or desirable.
10.9 Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which is an original, but all of which together
constitute but one instrument. Except as otherwise indicated, references
herein to any "Section" means a "Section" of this Agreement. The table of
contents and the section headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof.
10.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND (UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED) ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO, AND ALL CONSENTS AND WAIVERS
PURSUANT TO, THIS AGREEMENT WILL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.
10.11 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder must be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopy or

10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity; Agent for
Service of Process. For the purpose of assuring that the Pledgee may enforce
its rights under this Agreement, each Pledgor, for itself and its successors
and assigns, hereby irrevocably (a) agrees that any legal or equitable action,
suit or proceeding against any Pledgor arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or the subject matter of any
of the foregoing may be instituted, at the election of the Pledgee, in any
state or federal court in the Commonwealth of Virginia (including, without
limitation, the U.S. Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia) or in any state or federal court in the State of Florida, (b) waives
any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any action,
suit or proceeding, (c) irrevocably submits itself to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the
Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Florida, and (d) irrevocably waives
any immunity from jurisdiction to which it might otherwise be entitled in any
such action, suit or proceeding which may be instituted in any state or
federal court of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Florida, and any
immunity from the maintaining of an action against it to enforce any judgment
for money obtained in any such action, suit or proceeding and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any immunity from execution. Each Pledgor
acknowledges that it has irrevocably designated and appointed CT Corporation
System (or any successor corporation), at its office in Virginia and its
office in Florida, as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its
behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such action,
suit or proceeding with respect to any matter as to which it has submitted to
jurisdiction as set forth in this Section 10.11 and agrees that service upon
such authorized agent shall be deemed in every respect service of process upon
such Pledgor or its successors or assigns, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon it.
Each Pledgor will take all action necessary to ensure that such Pledgor shall
at all times have an agent for service of process for the above purposes in
the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of Florida. This Section 10.11
does not affect the right of the Pledgee to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against
any Pledgor in any jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered personally or by their representative officers or
agents duly authorized as of the date first above written.
