Attachment
10. The Pledgor confirms and agrees that:

| (b) | the Pledgor has rights in the Pledged Collateral and power to transfer rights in the Pledged Collateral to the Agent; and |

Control, Registration and Possession of Pledged Collateral
11. The Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, take any action (including, but not limited, to entering into any amendments or modifications to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Seller (including any other organizational documents) or any other agreements, documents, or instruments) that will cause the Pledge Collateral to be in certificated form and be a “Security” governed by Article 8 of the UCC, as applicable.
3
12. Whenever any Pledged Collateral is a certificated security, an uncertificated security or a security entitlement, the Pledgor shall, or shall cause the Seller to, or shall cause the securities intermediary that holds such Pledged Collateral to, take all steps as are necessary or desirable to give exclusive control over such Pledged Collateral to the Agent in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
13. All certificates, if any, representing Pledged Collateral may remain registered in the name of the Pledgor, but the Pledgor shall, promptly at the request of the Agent, duly endorse such certificates in blank for transfer or execute stock powers of attorney in respect thereof and deliver such certificates or powers of attorney to the Agent, with all documentation being in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Upon the request of the Agent following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default:
| (a) | the Pledgor shall promptly cause the Pledged Collateral to be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, and the Agent is hereby appointed the irrevocable attorney (coupled with an interest) of the Pledgor with full power of substitution to cause any or all of the Pledged Collateral to be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee; and |
| (b) | the Pledgor shall promptly cause each securities intermediary that holds any Pledged Collateral that is a security entitlement to record the Agent as the entitlement holder of such Pledged Collateral. |
14. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral. The Agent shall not be bound under any circumstances to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral or allow any of the Pledged Collateral to be sold, or exercise any option or right attaching thereto, or be responsible for any loss occasioned by any sale of the Pledged Collateral or by the retention or other refusal to sell the same; nor shall the Agent be obliged to collect or see to the payment of dividends or distributions thereon.
Voting Rights
15. Until notice is given by the Agent to the Pledgor in accordance with Section 18, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights attached to the Pledged Collateral and give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which could be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Agent or which could have the effect of materially reducing the value of the Pledged Collateral as security for the Seller Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transfer of the Pledged Collateral to the Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Except if the Agent otherwise consents thereto or as may be required for the Pledgor to comply with applicable law, the rights of the Pledgor to vote, give consents, waivers and ratifications shall not be exercised by the Pledgor on and after receipt by the Pledgor of such notice by the Agent.

Until notice is given by the Agent to the Pledgor in accordance with Section 18, all dividends, distributions and other income derived from or in respect of any Pledged Collateral and all proceeds received by the Pledgor in respect of any Pledged Collateral may be received by the Pledgor. After notice is given by the Agent to the Pledgor in accordance with Section 18, the Pledgor shall forthwith pay such amounts to the Agent, to be applied to reduce the Seller Obligations or, at the option of the Agent, to be held as additional security for the Seller Obligations, and all dividends and distributions, if and when received by the Pledgor, shall, subject to section 19, be held in trust for the Agent and shall be forthwith paid to the Agent.

| (f) | the Pledgor (i) has all necessary power and authority to (A) execute and deliver this Agreement by the Pledgor and (B) perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) has duly authorized by all necessary action the execution, delivery and performance of, and the consummation of the transactions provided for in, this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except (I) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (II) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; |
| (g) | upon delivery to the Agent of the filing in the State of Delaware of a UCC-1 financing statement naming the Pledgor, as a debtor, and the Agent, as secured party, and describing the Pledged Collateral, the lien granted pursuant to this agreement will constitute a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Pledged Collateral in favor of the Agent, enforceable as such against all creditors of the Pledgor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Pledged Collateral from the Pledgor; |
| (h) | except as listed on Schedule II, the Pledgor has not changed its name or jurisdiction of organization within the past five (5) years; and |
