Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties that (i) the Liens securing the Parity Lien Obligations are subject and subordinate to the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations up to the Priority Lien Cap and (ii) this Pledge Agreement creates two separate and distinct Liens: the first Lien securing the payment and performance of the Priority Lien Obligations and the second Lien securing the payment and performance of the Parity Lien Obligations. SECTION 2.3. Delivery of Pledged Property. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral, including all Pledged Shares, shall be 4 delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee pursuant hereto, shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, and shall be accompanied by all necessary instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank. SECTION 2.4. Intentionally Omitted. SECTION 2.5. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Note. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and, subject to Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents, shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of all commitments to extend credit under all Credit Facilities the Indebtedness under which constitutes Priority Lien Debt, (b) be binding upon the Company and its successors, transferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and each other Secured Party. Without limiting the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any right or obligation under the Secured Debt Documents to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party under any Secured Debt Document (including this Pledge Agreement) or otherwise, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer, and to the applicable provisions of each of the Secured Debt Documents. Upon the payment in full and discharge of all Secured Obligations that are then outstanding, due and payable and the termination or expiration of all commitments to extend credit under all Credit Facilities the Indebtedness under which constitutes Priority Lien Debt, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination or release of the Lien provided for hereunder in accordance with the Secured Debt Documents, the Collateral Trustee will, at the Company's sole expense, deliver to the Company, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all Pledged Shares, together with all other Pledged Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. SECTION 2.6. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Trustee and the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and all obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Debt Documents, (b) the failure of any Secured Party or any holder of any Secured Obligation 5 (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company, any other Obligor or any other Person under the provisions of any of the Secured Debt Documents or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Secured Obligations of the Company or any other Obligor, (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Secured Obligation of the Company or any other Obligor, (d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Secured Obligations of the Company or any other Obligor for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Company hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Secured Obligations of the Company, any other Obligor or otherwise, (e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of any of the Secured Debt Documents, (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral (including the Pledged Collateral), or any amendment to or waiver or release of or addition to or consent to departure from any guaranty, for any of the Secured Obligations, or (g) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Company, any other Obligor, any surety or any guarantor. SECTION 2.7. [Intentionally Omitted.] SECTION 2.8. Waiver of Subrogation. Until such time as the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and discharged and all commitments to extend credit under all Credit Facilities the Indebtedness under which constitutes Priority Lien Debt shall have been permanently terminated or expired, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other Obligor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company's obligations under this Pledge Agreement or any other Secured Debt Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Trustee against the Company or any other Obligor or any collateral which the Collateral Trustee now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company or any other Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any 6 amount shall be paid to the Company in violation of the preceding sentence and the Secured Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash, and all commitments to extend credit under all Credit Facilities the Indebtedness under which constitutes Priority Lien Debt shall have not been permanently terminated or expired, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Company for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Collateral Trustee, and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Trustee to be credited and applied upon the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement. The Company acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Secured Debt Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
