SECTION 4

GENERAL AUTHORITY AND POWERS AND REMEDIES

4.1 Events of Default. For purposes hereof, the term “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Note.

4.2 Voting Rights; Dividends, Etc., Prior to Default.

(a) Rights Prior to Default. So long as no Event of Default exists and Pledgee shall not have given written notice to Pledgor or the Partnership of its intention to foreclose upon or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, or to exercise its voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Partnership Interests, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual rights and powers relating or pertaining to the Pledged Partnership Interests or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Termination of Rights. Upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (ii) the giving of written notice by Pledgee to Pledgor of its intention to (A) foreclose upon or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral or (B) exercise its voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Partnership Interests, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof shall cease, at the option of Pledgee, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee, who shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights.

(c) No Right to Receive Distributions. If an Event of Default exists, all payments and distributions to be made to Pledgor upon or with respect to the Collateral shall be paid or delivered to Pledgee, and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to cause all such payments and distributions to be made to Pledgee. Further, Pledgee shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to notify and direct the Partnership to thereafter make all payments, dividends, and any other distributions payable in respect thereof directly to Pledgee. The Partnership shall be fully protected in relying on the written statement of Pledgee that it then holds a security interest which entitles it to receive such payments and distributions. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by Pledgee pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be retained by Pledgee as additional collateral hereunder and may be applied (and upon Pledgor’s written request all cash shall promptly be applied) in accordance with Section 4.6 hereof.

4.3 General Authority. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee, and its successors and assigns, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution, in the name of Pledgor, for the sole use and benefit of Pledgee, but at Pledgor’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time-to-time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any of the following powers with respect to the Collateral:

(a) to ask, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) preceding;

(c) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute, or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

(d) subject to Section 4.4 hereof, to sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise deal in or with the same or the proceeds thereof as fully and effectually as if Pledgee were the absolute owner thereof; and

(e) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto.

In addition, Pledgee, at any time, either before or after an Event of Default, shall, upon reasonable advance notice, have the right, together with such accountants and other agents or representatives as it may from time-to-time designate, to visit and inspect the Partnership’s properties, assets, books, records, and documents and to discuss the Partnership’s affairs, finances, and accounts with Pledgor’s and the Partnership’s representatives, officers, or directors, during all business hours as Pledgee may designate, and to make and take away copies of the Partnership’s records. Pledgor shall furnish to Pledgee any information reasonably requested by Pledgee in connection with the Collateral. Pledgor will maintain complete and accurate books and records regarding the Collateral.

4.4 Remedies Upon Default.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Pledgee, at its option, without demand, presentment, notice of acceleration, intention to accelerate, or other notice (which are fully waived) may:

(i) exercise all the rights of a secured party under the Code (whether or not the Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised, unless prohibited by applicable law).

(ii) apply the cash, if any, then held by Pledgee as Collateral as specified in Section 4.6.

(iii) sell all of the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Pledgee may reasonably deem satisfactory. Upon Pledgee’s demand, Pledgor will take all steps necessary to prepare the Collateral for and otherwise assist in any proposed disposition of the Collateral. Any permitted holder of the Secured Indebtedness may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations or if the subject Collateral is partnership interest or other Collateral that is the subject of the immediately following paragraph, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Any holder of the Secured Indebtedness shall have the right to offset the amount of its bid against an equal amount of the Secured Indebtedness held by such holder.

Pledgor agrees that, because of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other laws or regulations, and for other reasons, there may be legal and/or practical restrictions or limitations affecting Pledgee in any attempts to dispose of certain portions of the Collateral and for the enforcement of their rights. For these reasons, Pledgee is hereby authorized by Pledgor, but not obligated, upon the occurrence

and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to sell all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to investment letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other laws or regulations, at a reasonable price at such private sale or other distribution in the manner mentioned above. Pledgor understands that Pledgee may in its discretion approach a limited number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral, or any part thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if such Collateral were either afforded to a larger number of potential purchasers or registered or sold in the open market. Pledgor agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and that Pledgee has no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale under any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Pledgee is authorized in connection with any such sale to (i) restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of the Collateral to a limited number of sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such Collateral, and (ii) impose such other limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as Pledgee reasonably deems necessary in order to comply with applicable law. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as Pledgee reasonably deems necessary in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with applicable law. Upon any such sale Pledgee shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right of Pledgor of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor. Pledgor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted.

Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’ written notice from Pledgee to Pledgor of Pledgee’s intention to make any such public or private sale or sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange shall constitute “reasonable notification” within the meaning of Section 9-404(c) of the Code. Such notice shall (A) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (B) in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such a sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof so being sold, will first be offered to sale at such board or exchange, and (C) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Pledgee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Pledgee may reasonably determine. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Pledgee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time-to-time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.

In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Pledgee until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Pledgee shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Pledgee, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing or imposing upon Pledgee any obligations or duties not required by applicable law, Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in foreclosing upon any of the

Collateral or exercising any other rights or remedies provided Pledgee hereunder or under applicable law, Pledgee may, but shall not be required to: (i) qualify or restrict prospective purchasers of the Collateral by requiring evidence of sophistication and/or creditworthiness, and requiring the execution and delivery of confidentiality agreements or other documents and agreements as a condition to such prospective purchasers’ receipt of information regarding the Collateral or participation in any public or private foreclosure sale process; (ii) provide to prospective purchasers the Partnership Agreement and business and financial information regarding the Partnership available in the files of Pledgee at the time of commencing the foreclosure process, without the requirement that Pledgee obtain, or seek to obtain, any updated business or financial information or Partnership Agreement, or verify or certify to prospective purchasers the accuracy of any such business or financial information or Partnership Agreement; or (iii) offer for sale, and sell, partnership interests either with, or without, first employing an appraiser, investment banker, or broker with respect to the evaluation of Collateral, the solicitation of purchasers for Collateral, or the manner of sale of Collateral.

(c) Pledgee shall have all rights and remedies granted in the Note or existing at common law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Code), and such rights and remedies (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Pledgor and any party obligated to pay or perform the Secured Indebtedness, any of the Collateral, or any other security for any of the Secured Indebtedness, at the sole discretion of Pledgee, and (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Pledgor that the exercise or failure to exercise any such rights or remedies shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse.

(d) Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Pledgee in connection with an Event of Default, Pledgor shall not be subrogated thereby to any rights of Pledgee against the Collateral or any other security for any of the Secured Indebtedness. Pledgor shall not be deemed based on any subrogation or other rights it may have to be the owner of any interest in any of the Secured Indebtedness unless and until all of the Secured Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid to Pledgee and fully performed and discharged.

(e) All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Pledgee incident to the sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the matters stated therein and all prerequisites of such sale or other action contained in such recitals shall be presumed to have been performed or to have occurred.

4.4 Waivers by Pledgor. In case of any Event of Default, neither Pledgor nor anyone claiming by, through, or under Pledgor, to the extent Pledgor may lawfully so agree, shall or will set up, claim, or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption law now or hereafter in force under any applicable law, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the Collateral, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser thereof; and Pledgor in Pledgor’s own right and for all who may claim under Pledgor, hereby waives, to the fullest extent that Pledgor may lawfully do so, the benefit of any and all right to have the Collateral marshaled upon any enforcement of the Security Interests herein granted, and Pledgor agrees that Pledgee or any court having jurisdiction to enforce the Security Interests may sell the Collateral in parts or as an entirety.

4.6 Application of Proceeds. Upon the maturity of any instrument evidencing the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof, whether such maturity be by such terms of such instruments or through the exercise of any power of acceleration, Pledgee is authorized and empowered to apply any and all

funds realized from the sale of all or any part of the Collateral not previously credited against the Secured Indebtedness as provided in the Note.

4.7 Enforcement of Secured Indebtedness. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect or impair the unconditional and absolute right of Pledgee to enforce the Secured Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due in accordance with the terms of the Note whether by acceleration or otherwise.
