(d) the filing of any claim with any court in the event of a receivership or bankruptcy;

(e) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Pledgor’s Secured Obligations under this Agreement or the enforcement thereof;

(h) any offset or counterclaim or other right, defense or claim based on, or in the nature of, any obligation now or hereafter owed to such Pledgor by CCLX, or CCT Shanghai.

6.4 Election of Remedies. Each Pledgor understands that the exercise by CCT Shanghai of certain rights and remedies contained in the Pledge Documents may affect or eliminate its right of subrogation and reimbursement against CCLX and that it may therefore

incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Each Pledgor (a) expressly authorizes CCT Shanghai to pursue its rights and remedies with respect to the Secured Obligations in any order or fashion it deems appropriate and (b) waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of such Pledgor against CCLX, any other Person or any security, whether resulting from an election by CCT Shanghai to foreclose on any Pledged Collateral by CCT Shanghai’s sale rather than judicial foreclosure, or from any other election of rights or remedies by CCT Shanghai, or otherwise.

6.5 Information Concerning CCLX. Each Pledgor severally and not jointly represents and warrants to CCT Shanghai that such Pledgor is affiliated with CCLX and that it has, independently and without reliance on any Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision and analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Pledgor is in a position to have continuing access to any and all relevant information bearing upon the creditworthiness of CCLX. Each Pledgor waives any requirement that CCT Shanghai advise such Pledgor of information known to CCT Shanghai regarding the financial condition or business of CCLX or a Pledgor, or any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of non-performance of the Secured Obligations, and each Pledgor assumes sole responsibility for keeping informed of each such condition and circumstance. Each Pledgor confirms that none of the Secured Party has made any representation or warranty or assumed any responsibility with respect to the enforceability of any of the Pledge Documents’ or the creditworthiness of CCLX.

6.6 No Subrogation. Each Pledgor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not exercise or assert, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration or contribution or any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against CCLX or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for the Secured Obligations, or against or with respect to CCLX’s property, and which arise from the existence, performance or enforcement of the security interest and pledge created hereunder, this Agreement or any of the other Pledge Documents. CCT Shanghai may use, sell or dispose of any Pledged Collateral as it sees fit without regard to any subrogation rights a Pledgor may have, and upon any disposition, sale, or any rights of subrogation a Pledgor may have will terminate. If any amount is paid to a Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Secured Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid in full, such amount will be held in trust for the benefit of CCT Shanghai and will forthwith be paid to CCT Shanghai to be applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Documents.

ARTICLE VII. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

7.1 Dividend and Voting Rights.

(a) So long as no Equipment Return Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgors will be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights with respect to its Ownership Rights for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Pledge Documents and to receive and retain any and all dividends and other payments in respect of its Ownership Rights.

other consensual rights with respect to the Ownership Rights and to receive dividends and other payments in respect of the Ownership Rights will cease, and all such rights will immediately become vested solely in CCT Shanghai or its nominees. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Equipment Return Default, any dividends and other payments in respect of the Ownership Rights received by a Pledgor will be held in trust for CCT Shanghai, and such Pledgor will keep all such amounts separate and apart from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of CCT Shanghai and will deliver such amounts to CCT Shanghai at such time as CCT Shanghai may request in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned when required to enable CCT Shanghai to complete collection thereof.

7.2 CCT Shanghai’s Rights Upon Default. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Equipment Return Default, CCT Shanghai may take any or all of the following actions, in each case without prior notice to the Pledgors except as required under applicable law:

(a) give notice of the Equipment Return Default to any Person, collect dividends and other amounts constituting or payable in respect of Pledged Collateral and enforce all rights of CCT Shanghai in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

(b) take possession and ownership of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, wherever it may be found and hold, store and manage the same;

(d) pledge or otherwise encumber any or all of the Pledged Collateral; and

If an Equipment Return Default shall have occurred and be continuing, CCT Shanghai may, at its sole discretion, exercise the foregoing rights and remedies at such times and in such manner as it deems necessary. In such Equipment Return Default, CCT Shanghai may execute and deliver to the Pledgors all documents and instruments (which will be prepared by CCT Shanghai and the Pledgors shall promptly take all actions to execute such instruments) necessary to initiate and complete all proceedings and procedures required enforce and its rights and remedies, including initiating and implementing all legal proceeding under PRC Law required to transfer ownership of the Investment Certificates.

The Pledgors shall promptly take all actions to execute any documents or instruments necessary to initiate and complete all proceedings and procedures required to transfer its Ownership Rights.

7.4 Other Rights of CCT Shanghai. CCT Shanghai may at any time and from time to time release any right, remedy or security interest it has with respect to a particular item of Pledged Collateral without thereby releasing or in any way affecting its rights, remedies or security interest with respect to any other item of Pledged Collateral.

7.5 Disposition of Pledged Collateral. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Equipment Return Default or an election by CCT Shanghai under Section 2.3 of each of the Technical Services Agreements,

(a) Upon the written request of CCT Shanghai, each Pledgor shall promptly and at its own expense assemble any or all of the Pledged Collateral owned by it and not in the possession of such Pledgor, and make it available to CCT Shanghai, at any place designated in writing by CCT Shanghai which is reasonably convenient to such Pledgor and CCT Shanghai.

(b) CCT Shanghai may retain ownership in or will be entitled to sell the Pledged Collateral at public or private sale with or without having any or all of the Pledged Collateral at the place of sale, upon terms, in such manner, at such time or times, and at such place or places as CCT Shanghai may determine to be commercially reasonable, and each Pledgor agrees that a private sale or a sale on extended payment terms, or in exchange for property, stock or other consideration will not for such reason alone be deemed to be commercially unreasonable. The Pledged Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels. Pledgors are expressly authorized to grant, with or without compensation, options to purchase or acquire rights in the Pledged Collateral. CCT Shanghai may purchase any or all of the Pledged Collateral sold at any public sale and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, may purchase any or all of the Pledged Collateral sold at any private sale, including by a credit bid. Each Pledgor and CCLX irrevocably consent to the sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral by CCT Shanghai.

(c) CCT Shanghai may, in its sole discretion, restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers at any sale as to their number, nature of business, financial or business expertise, net worth or financial resources and investment intention or on the basis of any other factors CCT Shanghai deems advisable. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral may be subject to the requirement that any purchase of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral must be for the purpose of investment and without any intention to make a distribution thereof.

(d) CCT Shanghai expressly agrees that it shall give at least ten days’ notice to the Pledgors of the time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral or of the time after which a private sale of Pledged Collateral may take place, and that such notice will constitute reasonable notice under all circumstances, except to the extent that mandatory non-waivable requirements of applicable law require a longer notice period. CCT Shanghai will not be obligated to hold any sale pursuant to any such notice and may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and a subsequent sale may be held at the time and place designated in such announcement without further notice or publication. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Pledgor irrevocably waives any right it may have to demand of performance or other demand, advertisement, judicial hearing or notice to it (other than as set forth in this Section 7.5) or any other Person in connection with the collection, sale or other disposition of, or realization upon, the Pledged Collateral.

(e) Secured Party may settle, pay or discharge any or all taxes, liens, claims and other charges with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and may procure or continue insurance with respect to the Pledged Collateral. All sums expended by the Pledgors pursuant to this Section 7.5(e) will constitute Secured Obligations secured by Pledgor. CCT Shanghai will have no duty to take any action authorized by this Section 7.5(e), and no sale of the Pledged Collateral will be deemed to have been commercially unreasonable by reason of CCT Shanghai’s decision not to take any action.

7.6 No Marshalling or Right of Redemption.

(a) Except to the extent required by applicable law, CCT Shanghai will not be required to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any Pledged Collateral or any guaranties of the Secured Obligations or to resort to any item of Pledged Collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and CCT Shanghai’s rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral and any guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Pledgor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any law requiring or relating to the marshalling of collateral or any other law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of CCT Shanghai’s rights under this Agreement.

(b) Except as set forth herein, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Pledgor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any rights to equity of redemption or other rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium that it may have in equity, at law or otherwise with respect to any Pledged Collateral. The sale or other transfer pursuant to this Agreement of any right, title or interest of a Pledgor in any item of Pledged Collateral will operate to permanently divest that Pledgor and all Persons claiming under or through that Pledgor of such right, title or interest, and will be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any and all claims by that Pledgor or any such Person with respect to such item of Pledged Collateral.

7.7 Application of Proceeds. Any cash held by Pledgors as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Pledgors from any realization upon Pledged Collateral shall, in the sole discretion of CCT Shanghai be applied by CCT Shanghai in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Documents.

7.8 CCT Shanghai’s Duties.

(a) The grant to CCT Shanghai under this Agreement of any right or power does not impose upon CCT Shanghai any duty to exercise such right or power. CCT Shanghai will have no obligation to take any steps to preserve any claim or other right against any Person or with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(b) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims against CCT Shanghai or its respective agents arising out of the repossession, taking, retention, storage, operation or sale of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Pledgor waives any claim it may have based on the allegation or fact that the price obtained for Pledged Collateral sold at a private sale was less than could have been obtained for the same Pledged Collateral at a public sale. All risk of loss, damage, diminution in value or destruction of the Pledged Collateral will be borne by the Pledgors.

CCT Shanghai will have no responsibility for any act or omission of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, broker, operator or any other Person.

(c) CCT Shanghai does not and will not make any express or implied representations or warranties with respect to any Pledged Collateral or other property released to a Pledgor or its successors and assigns.

(d) CCT Shanghai will be accountable only for such proceeds as CCT Shanghai actually receives as a result of the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, and delivery or other accounting of the application of such proceeds or the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the Pledge Documents by CCT Shanghai to the Pledgors will discharge CCT Shanghai of all liability therefor.

(e) Except as set forth in this Agreement or as required under applicable law, CCT Shanghai will have no duties or Secured Obligations under this Agreement or with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.8, CCT Shanghai will have no responsibility to the Pledgors for any act or omission of CCT Shanghai, except to the extent such act or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct by CCT Shanghai or its agents or attorneys-in-fact.

7.9 General. CCT Shanghai shall exercise its rights under this Article 7 in accordance with the Pledge Documents. An Equipment Return Default shall not be deemed to exist if an Equipment Return Default is waived by the CCT Shanghai.
