As to the Collateral. (a) So long as no event or circumstance which constitutes a Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Pledgor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right without the consent of the Collateral Agent if, in the Collateral Agent's judgment, such action or inaction would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) on the fair market value of any of the Collateral including, without limitation, the validity, priority or perfection of the security interests granted hereby or the remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder. (ii) Any and all dividends and other distributions (whether or not in cash) paid or payable, and certificates, instruments and other Property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, Collateral, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held as Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, be segregated from the other Property of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any cash dividends or distributions delivered to or otherwise held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5, and any other cash constituting Collateral delivered to the Collateral Agent, shall be invested, at the written direction of the Pledgor by the Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalents. (iii) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) above. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default (except as provided below), at the Collateral Agent's option and following written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Pledgor: (i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) shall cease, provided, however, that the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise such rights without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent if such rights are to be exercised to vote in favor of a transaction which is reasonably expected to cure the Default, not result in another Default and not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as provided in the prior sentence, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such voting and other consensual rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, subject to the satisfaction of any regulatory requirements. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the Pledgor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact and grants to the Collateral Agent an IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote the Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders. The power- of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable; and (ii) the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) shall continue in full force and effect, except that no dividends or distributions may be paid to the Pledgor.
