Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights, if any, pertaining to the Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended Investor Rights Agreement. Neither Pledge Collateral Agent nor Securities Intermediary shall have any obligation to or responsibilities with respect to the exercise of voting or any other consensual rights pertaining to the Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral or any part thereof.
     SECTION 2.9 Ability to Enforce Collateral. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnification Provisions and the Ancillary Agreements, from time to time,

10


 

Secured Party may determine that it or any of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties is owed an amount in respect of the Obligations, which amount may be equal in value to all or any part of the amount to the credit of the Indemnification Collateral Account. In such event, which may occur multiple times as provided in the agreements or provisions constituting the Obligations, Secured Party is entitled in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions to make a demand upon Pledgor for, or otherwise receive, payment for such Obligations (for its own benefit or the benefit of the other applicable Acquiror Indemnified Parties). Pursuant to Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledgor may in some instances satisfy such demand by delivering Eligible Collateral that is credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account with a Fair Value equal to the amount demanded; provided, however, that any such delivery of Eligible Collateral will be made in the following order of priority: (i) first, in cash and Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account; provided, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been liquidated into cash in accordance with the Investment Guidelines (the “Liquidation Cash Proceeds”) prior to making any such delivery from the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii), only to the extent that the aggregate Fair Value of the cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account is less than the amount required to be delivered by the Pledgor, second, by delivery of any cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account, plus such number of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account the Fair Value of which equals the amount required to be so delivered less the Fair Value of any such cash and Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Control Account.
     Upon receipt from Pledgor of a request complying with the requirements of such Section 11.05(a) that some or all of the amount demanded be paid using Eligible Collateral constituting Indemnification Collateral, Secured Party agrees to instruct Securities Intermediary to withdraw the requested amount of cash from the Indemnification Collateral Account and/or debit the requested number of Common Equity Units and transfer such cash and/or Common Equity Units to such account as Secured Party may designate in payment of Obligations with a Fair Value represented by such transferred cash and/or Common Equity Units. Securities Intermediary may conclusively assume, in complying with such instructions from the Secured Party, that Secured Party has received the foregoing request from Pledgor and that the amount of Eligible Collateral to be withdrawn as specified in such instructions is in the proper amount and shall comply with such instructions as soon as practicable.
     The failure of Pledgor to satisfy such demand or make such payment in full (in either case, regardless of whether such demand is permitted by the Indemnification Provisions to be satisfied by Pledgor prior to default by delivering a request to Secured Party in the manner described above that Secured Party debit Eligible Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account), after compliance by Secured Party with the terms of the applicable provisions or agreement constituting the relevant Obligations and the terms of the Indemnification Provisions, including, without limitation, any terms relating to the resolution of disagreements regarding the amount or existence of any indemnification or other Obligation, shall constitute a default hereunder. It shall also constitute a default hereunder if, in the case of any payment required to be made under Article II, Section 6.12 or Sections 11.02(a)(vii),(viii) or (ix) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or the non-indemnification provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, or

11


 

pursuant to the Special Asset Protection Agreement, the Pledgor and AIG shall fail to make such payment in full in accordance with Sections 6.24 and 11.05(a)(i) and (ii) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement.
     Upon the occurrence of a default for any of the reasons set forth above, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Indemnification Collateral, and Pledge Collateral Agent may, for the benefit of Secured Party (whether for Secured Party’s benefit or for the benefit of other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) and upon the instructions of Secured Party, exercise in respect of the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or in Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, or under other applicable law, with respect to such portions of the Indemnification Collateral having in the aggregate a value equal to the amount of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid (the “Unpaid Obligation Amount”), such value to equal, to the extent Eligible Collateral is applied, the Fair Value of such Eligible Collateral and otherwise to equal such other amount as shall be determined in a manner consistent with applicable law. Any instructions from Secured Party shall specify the portions of the Indemnification Collateral with respect to which such remedies shall be exercised as specified in Section 11.05 of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and shall certify that such Indemnification Collateral has the value required by the preceding sentence.
     Secured Party may also, without notice except as required by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such default direct Securities Intermediary from time to time, to the extent permitted by law, to (i) transfer, deliver, and pay over to Secured Party, or as Secured Party directs, all or any part of the Indemnification Collateral and the proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any distributions of cash and securities made in respect of the Indemnification Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include any interest earned on the funds in the Deposit Account and any dividends, interest, distributions, amounts received in respect of redemption and all other proceeds of any Permitted Investments earned or accrued after such time), including Pledge Collateral to the extent it relates to Pledged Units being applied to the payment of any Unpaid Obligation Amount) in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount and Secured Party may apply any cash received from Securities Intermediary to the payment of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid, and (ii) sell the Indemnification Collateral in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s or Securities Intermediary’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and Secured Party may instruct Pledge Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties), to take such action with respect to the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), including, without limitation, the transfer at the time specified by Secured Party of any such Pledge Collateral out of any Pledged Unit Subaccount to the appropriate other subaccount under the Pledge Agreement, as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the transfer or sale of Indemnification Collateral described above; provided, that the aggregate value (calculated as provided in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and herein) of the Indemnification Collateral, any such transferred Pledge Collateral and the proceeds of the disposition thereof

12


 

applied to the payment of the Obligations at any time shall not exceed the Unpaid Obligation Amount at such time, the amount of the Unpaid Obligations to be certified to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent; and provided, further, that Secured Party shall not exercise, or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise, any rights with respect to the Pledge Collateral that would breach the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2 or that would adversely affect the operation of the Pledge Agreement, any Stock Purchase Contract or the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement.
     Pledgor acknowledges that to the extent the Indemnification Collateral credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account or the Pledge Collateral credited to the Pledge Collateral Accounts under the Pledge Agreement is of a type sold in a recognized market, no notice by Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent to Pledgor shall be required prior to the sale of any Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral hereunder. In the event such notice is given, neither Secured Party nor Pledge Collateral Agent shall be obligated to make any sale of Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral regardless of such notice having been given. Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon any sale or transfer of any Common Equity Units contained in the Indemnification Collateral, whether upon Secured Party’s exercise of its rights as a secured party hereunder or upon the instructions of Pledgor in connection with a substitution of Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral associated with such Common Equity Units being sold shall, if such Common Equity Units shall continue to be outstanding after such sale or other transfer, be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts with the Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement.
     SECTION 2.10 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Secured Party and Pledge Collateral Agent for benefit of the Secured Party and the security interests granted hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indemnification Provisions; (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or (iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor in respect of the Obligations other than full and final payment thereof.
     SECTION 2.11 Further Assurances. Pledgor, Secured Party, Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent agree that, at any time and from time to time at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Secured Party, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent (upon the instructions of Secured Party, in the case of Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent) may reasonably request in order to create, perfect, and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Indemnification Collateral and to enable Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce for

13


 

the benefit of Secured Party its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Pledge Collateral. If Pledgor shall fail to execute such instruments or documents or to take such further action, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, upon the instructions of Secured Party, may do so in Pledgor’s stead in their own names or as Pledgor’s attorneys-in-fact, and at Pledgor’s expense.

ARTICLE IV
Collateral Services
     SECTION 4.1 Delivery of Indemnification Collateral. At the Closing (as defined in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement), Pledgor shall deliver or cause to be delivered in the method specified in Section 2.3 to Securities Intermediary the Initial Collateral for credit to and/or deposit in the Indemnification Collateral Account, and Pledge Collateral Agent shall establish the Pledge Collateral Accounts and credit the Pledge Collateral thereto as provided in the Pledge Agreement.
     SECTION 4.2 Release of Indemnification Collateral. At any time on or after each of the dates which is the 12-month, 24-month and 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (or if, in each case, such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), or as otherwise provided in Section 11.05(c) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledgor shall be entitled to withdraw Indemnification Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account to the extent and in the amount and manner set forth in such Section 11.05(c) (the amount permitted to be withdrawn being the “Excess Collateral Amount”); provided, however, any such withdrawal of Indemnification Collateral in accordance with Section 11.05(c) (other than Section 11.05(c)(i)) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement shall be made in the following order of priority: (i) first, releasing any Common Equity Units then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii) second, solely to the extent the amount of Indemnification Collateral to be so released exceeds the stated amount of the Common Equity Units released pursuant to clause (i) above, any cash then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account and any Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account in which cash held in the Indemnification Collateral Account has been invested; provided, further, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been liquidated in accordance with the guidelines specified in the Investment Guidelines prior to making any such withdrawal; provided, further, that Pledgor has delivered written notice to Secured Party, with a copy to Securities Intermediary, at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of withdrawal detailing the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn and specifying the account or address to which the withdrawn Collateral should be delivered; provided, further, that Securities Intermediary has received a Written Instruction and/or entitlement order from Secured Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested withdrawal authorizing the withdrawal of such Excess Collateral Amount and specifying the particular Indemnification Collateral to be withdrawn; and provided, further, that upon the occurrence of a Parent Bankruptcy, no Indemnification Collateral shall be released hereunder pursuant to Sections 11.05(c) except to the extent, in the manner and at the time or times permitted thereby; provided, that in connection with each such withdrawal all of the conditions in this Section 4.2 have been complied with. Secured Party hereby agrees that it shall timely deliver an appropriate entitlement order to the Securities Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted transfer of any Excess Collateral Amount. If any Common Equity Units are withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account, the

18


 

corresponding Pledge Collateral shall be transferred from the Pledge Unit Subaccounts to the appropriate other subaccounts under the Pledge Agreement. In order to facilitate the withdrawal hereunder of Indemnification Collateral and Pledge Collateral while such Collateral is evidenced by securities, the Secured Party shall provide the appropriate registrar for such Collateral a sufficient supply of securities for purposes of issuance and exchange and shall cause such registrars to coordinate and cooperate with the Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent to effect such withdrawal. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledge Collateral Agent, as such, shall have no responsibility for any delay by any registrar to provide securities to effect any such withdrawal or the related issuance and exchange.
     If any Indemnification Collateral is required to remain in the Indemnification Collateral Account after the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date, Pledgor similarly shall be entitled thereafter to withdraw any Excess Collateral Amount; provided, however, that Pledgor has delivered written notice to Secured Party and Securities Intermediary at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of withdrawal detailing the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn and specifying the account or address to which the withdrawn Collateral should be delivered; and provided, further, that Securities Intermediary has received a Written Instruction and/or entitlement order from Secured Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested withdrawal authorizing the withdrawal of such Excess Collateral Amount. Secured Party hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate entitlement order to Securities Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted transfer of any Excess Collateral Amount. If any Common Equity Units are withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account, the corresponding Pledge Collateral shall be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the appropriate other Collateral Accounts under the Pledge Agreement.
     If Secured Party does not intend to deliver an instruction and/or entitlement order to Securities Intermediary authorizing a withdrawal under the circumstances described above, Secured Party shall deliver to Pledgor a notice providing detail of the defects in Pledgor’s withdrawal request not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of withdrawal. Secured Party will give written notice to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations. If any Common Equity Units remain in the Indemnification Collateral Account upon such satisfaction in full (and provided such notice has been received by the Securities Intermediary and the Pledge Collateral Agent), such Common Equity Units will be transferred to Pledgor or upon its order and the corresponding Pledge Collateral shall be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts under the Pledge Agreement.
     SECTION 4.3 Substitutions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, Pledgor may substitute cash for any Indemnification Collateral then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account. As a condition to effecting a substitution, at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of substitution, Pledgor shall be required to deliver written notice to Secured Party, with a copy to Securities Intermediary, specifying: (i) the proposed date of substitution, (ii) the amount of cash proposed to be transferred to the Indemnification Collateral Account and (iii) the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account. Pledgor shall be entitled to effect the proposed substitution; provided, that Securities Intermediary has received a Written Instruction and/or entitlement order from Secured

19


 

Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested withdrawal authorizing Securities Intermediary to effect the substitution and that, prior to such substitution, the Pledgor shall have delivered to the Secured Party a written opinion of outside counsel for the Pledgor, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party stating that (i) this Agreement is effective to create a security interest in the cash credited to the Deposit Account and the Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account in favor of the Secured Party; (ii) by virtue of this Agreement, the Secured Party’s security interest in the cash credited to the Deposit Account and the Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account has been perfected; and (iii) no adverse claim under Article 8 of the UCC may be asserted against the Secured Party’s security interest in any financial asset credited to Eligible Collateral credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account. Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to conclusively assume that such opinion has been delivered unless Secured Party gives it written notice to the contrary.
     Secured Party hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate entitlement order to the Securities Intermediary adequate to permit a permitted substitution of Indemnification Collateral; provided, however, that it shall not be required to deliver such an instruction and/or entitlement order unless the amount of cash proposed to be transferred to the Indemnification Collateral Account is at least equal to the Fair Value of the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn from the Indemnification Collateral Account. If Secured Party does not intend to deliver an instruction and/or entitlement order to Securities Intermediary authorizing a substitution of Indemnification Collateral under the circumstances described above Secured Party shall deliver to Pledgor a notice, not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of withdrawal, providing details of the shortfall in the amount of cash to be transferred as compared to the Fair Value of the Indemnification Collateral proposed to be withdrawn.
     If any substitution involves the withdrawal of Common Equity Units from the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral corresponding to such Common Equity Units shall be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts under the Pledge Agreement. Substitutions of Pledge Collateral pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.1(c), 5.2 and 5.3 of the Pledge Agreement shall be effected in accordance with such terms and Section 4.4(a) hereof.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i), solely in connection with the AIG Equity Unit Public Offering, all or a portion of the Equity Units Net Proceeds will be directly deposited by the Managing Underwriter in accordance with the Indemnification Instruction, Waiver and Acknowledgment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnification Collateral Account as Eligible Collateral and substituted for Indemnification Collateral then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account in accordance with the Indemnification Instruction, Waiver and Acknowledgment contemplated by Section 6.6(b) of the Coordination Agreement, and (ii) Pledgor will be permitted to substitute any proceeds of a sale or transfer of Common Equity Units permitted under the Amended Investor Rights Agreement following reasonable notice to Secured Party with a copy to Securities Intermediary, and Secured Party hereby agrees that it will timely deliver an appropriate securities entitlement order to Securities Intermediary adequate to permit such substitution of Indemnification Collateral in the case of clause (ii).
     SECTION 4.4 Common Equity Units as Collateral.

20


 

     (a) Collateral Substitutions. If Pledgor effects a Collateral Substitution (as such term is defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) with respect to any Stock Purchase Contracts forming part of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account by exercising its right to do so under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts and the Pledge Agreement, the Normal Common Equity Units or Stripped Common Equity Units (as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) created pursuant to such Collateral Substitution, but not the Debt Securities or Treasury Securities (as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contact Agreement) released from the security interest created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral, and the Debt Securities or Treasury Securities released from the security interest created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall be released from the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement and delivered to the Pledgor. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain the Normal Common Equity Units or Stripped Common Equity Units created pursuant to such Collateral Substitution without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention.
     (b) Cash Settlement. If Pledgor effects an Early Settlement, Cash Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement (as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) other than as described in Section 4.4(d) below of any Stock Purchase Contracts forming part of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account for cash by exercising its right to do so under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts and the Pledge Agreement, or duly elects not to exercise its Put Right upon a Final Failed Remarketing (as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and Pledge Agreement, respectively), the Common Stock so acquired, but not the cash paid therefor, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain the cash paid as the purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention. The Debt Securities or Treasury Securities in the Pledge Collateral Accounts relating to the Stock Purchase Contracts pursuant to which such cash purchase was made shall be released from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to Pledgor upon such purchase pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement.
     (c) Remarketing. If Pledgor purchases Common Stock with the cash proceeds of any remarketing, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts and the Pledge Agreement, of Debt Securities forming part of the Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Common Stock so acquired, but not the cash received therefore, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral.

the cash proceeds of Treasury Securities, the Common Stock so acquired shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain such consideration as the purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention.
     (d) Put Right; Settlement in Kind. If Pledgor purchases Common Stock pursuant to Stock Purchase Contracts relating to any Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account in consideration for any Debt Securities pursuant to its deemed exercise of the Put Right or in connection with a Cash Merger Early Settlement (each as defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement), the Common Stock so acquired, but not such Debt Securities, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to retain such consideration as the purchase price for such Common Stock without there being any reduction in the Obligations as a result of such retention, and such Debt Securities or Treasury Securities shall be released from the Pledge Collateral Accounts pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
     (e) Termination Events. If, pursuant to Stock Purchase Contracts relating to any Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account, Pledgor takes Debt Securities or Treasury Securities free and clear of the lien of the Pledge Agreement rather than Common Stock as a result of a Termination Event (as defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement), such Debt Securities or Treasury Securities so acquired, shall, unless otherwise agreed by Secured Party, be credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account as additional Indemnification Collateral and shall be released from the Pledge Collateral Accounts pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
     (f) Cooperation.

22


 

Securities Intermediary is authorized to act upon any Written Instructions, including entitlement orders with respect to the Pledge Collateral Accounts, solely and exclusively from Pledge Collateral Agent. Secured Party hereby covenants for the benefit of Pledgor that Secured Party will not originate entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Indemnification Collateral Account or the Indemnification Collateral or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral Accounts except as provided in Sections 2.9, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof with respect to payment of Obligations when due, the substitution, withdrawal, release or transfer of Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral, the treatment of proceeds and the exercise its rights as a secured party upon default. The foregoing covenant is for the benefit of Pledgor only and will not be deemed to constitute a limitation on Secured Party’s right, as between Securities Intermediary and Secured Party, to originate entitlement orders and instructions with respect to the Indemnification Collateral Account and the Indemnification Collateral, on Securities Intermediary’s obligation to comply with those entitlement orders and instructions without further consent by Pledgor, on Secured Party’s right, as between Secured Party and Pledge Collateral Agent, to instruct Pledge Collateral Agent to take action with respect to the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral Accounts, or on Pledge Collateral Agent’s obligation to comply with those instructions without further consent by Pledgor. Securities Intermediary agrees that it will, without inquiry or consent of Pledgor or any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of Pledgor, comply with Written Instructions (including entitlement orders and instructions relating to the deposit account that is part of the Indemnification Collateral Account) from Secured Party with respect to the Indemnification Collateral Account. Without prejudice to the exclusive right of Secured Party to give entitlement orders, if Securities Intermediary receives conflicting directions with respect to the Indemnification Collateral Account or the Indemnification Collateral from Pledgor and Secured Party, Securities Intermediary will act at the direction of Secured Party and will be fully protected in so acting. Pledge Collateral Agent agrees to comply with instructions given pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and with instructions given by Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement without further consent from Pledgor. If instructions of Secured Party to Pledge Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement conflict with the obligations of the Pledge Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement, Pledge Collateral Agent shall be entitled to comply with the Pledge Agreement and not to comply with such conflicting instructions given pursuant to this Agreement.
     SECTION 4.7 Statements. Securities Intermediary shall furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with monthly Indemnification Collateral Account statements in accordance with its customary procedures. Securities Intermediary shall also furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with monthly statements with respect to the Pledge Collateral Accounts in accordance with its customary procedures. The requirements of this Section 4.7 shall be performed by the Securities Intermediary by granting each of the Pledgor and the Secured Party on-line read only access to the Indemnification Collateral Account and the Pledge Collateral Accounts.
     SECTION 4.8 Notice of Adverse Claims. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral Accounts or any portion of the Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral, Securities Intermediary shall use reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.

23


 

     SECTION 4.9 Subordination of Lien; Set-off. The parties agree that any security interest in or lien on, or right of set-off with respect to, any of the Indemnification Collateral or the Pledge Collateral that Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent may now or in the future may have is hereby subordinated to the security interest of Secured Party hereunder, except to the extent of any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owed to Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent and incurred in connection with the performance of the duties of Securities Intermediary hereunder and the maintenance and operation of the Indemnification Collateral Account and the Indemnification Collateral, for which Securities Intermediary shall have a prior claim to the Indemnification Collateral.
     SECTION 4.10 No Release Without Consent. Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent agree that they will not extend any credit nor make any loans secured by the Indemnification Collateral, the Indemnification Collateral Account, the Pledge Collateral or the Pledge Collateral Accounts, including without limitation any so-called “margin loans.” Except as provided in Sections 2.9, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof or in the Pledge Agreement, no payments of principal or interest, or addition, substitution, sale, transfer, release, withdrawal or other alienation of Indemnification Collateral or the Pledge Collateral shall be made except upon the written consent of Secured Party.

Unless direction is otherwise expressly provided herein, if Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent shall request direction from Secured Party with respect to any action, Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such agent shall have received direction from Securities Intermediary or Pledge Collateral Agent, and the agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

     SECTION 5.9 Certain Rights.
     (a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the

27


 

Secured Party’s officers, and delivered to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent, shall be full warrant to the Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.

The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.
     (e) The Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the Indemnification Collateral Account in the absence of a written investment direction from Pledgor specifying the investment to be made and certifying that such investment constitutes a Permitted Investment. Any investment will be made by the Securities Intermediary as soon as practicable after receipt of a written direction therefor. In no event shall the Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of Pledgor to provide to the Securities Intermediary timely written investment direction.
