(iii)

exercising any voting, consent, management and other rights relating to any Pledged Collateral;

(iv)

performing or complying with any contractual obligation that constitutes part of the Pledged Collateral;

(v)

receiving, endorsing, negotiating, executing and delivering or collecting upon any check, draft, note, acceptance, instrument, document, contract, agreement, receipt, release, ▇▇▇▇ of lading, invoice, endorsement, assignment, ▇▇▇▇ of sale, deed, security, share certificate, stock power, proxy, or instrument of conveyance or transfer constituting or relating to any Pledged Collateral;

9.3

Dividend and voting rights

(a)

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor will be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Finance Documents and to receive and retain all dividends and other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Finance Documents.

(b)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of Pledgor to exercise voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral and to receive dividends and other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral will cease, and all these rights will immediately become vested solely in Lender or its nominees, and the Pledgor grants Lender or its nominees Pledgor's irrevocable and unconditional proxy for this purpose. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any dividends and other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral received by Pledgor will be held in trust for Lender, 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 Lender and will deliver these amounts at such time as Lender may request to Lender in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned if required to enable Lender to complete collection.

9.4

Security Agent’s rights upon default

(a)

Pledgor irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender, with full power of substitution, as Pledgor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in Pledgor's name or in Lender's name or otherwise, and at Pledgor's expense , to take any of the actions authorized by this Agreement or permitted under applicable law upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without notice to or the consent of Pledgor. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Pledgor ratifies and confirms all actions taken by Lender or its agents under this power of attorney.

(b)	Pledgor agrees that 10 days notice shall constitute reasonable notice in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Pledged Collateral.

(c)	Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Pledged Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Pledged Collateral.

(d)	The grant to Lender under this Agreement of any right, power or remedy does not impose upon Lender any duty to exercise that right, power or remedy. Lender 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.

(e)	Pledgor bears the risk of loss, damage, diminution in value, or destruction of the Pledged Collateral.

(f)	Lender will have no responsibility for any act or omission of any courier, bailee, broker, bank, investment bank or any other person chosen by it with reasonable care.

(g)	Lender makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to any Pledged Collateral or other property released to Pledgor or its successors and assigns.

(h)	Pledgor agrees that Lender will have met its duty of care under applicable law if it holds, maintains and disposes of Pledged Collateral in the same manner that it holds, maintains and disposes of property for its own account.

(i)	Except as set forth in this Clause or as required under applicable law, Lender will have no duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

(j)	With regard to Pledgor, the sale, transfer or other disposition under this Agreement of any right, title, or interest of Pledgor in any item of Pledged Collateral will:

(i)

operate to divest Pledgor permanently and all persons claiming under or through Pledgor of that right, title, or interest, and

(ii)

be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any claims by Pledgor or any person claiming under or through Pledgor

with respect to that item of Pledged Collateral.

9.5

No Marshaling

(a)	Lender need not, and Pledgor irrevocably waives and agrees that it will not invoke or assert any law requiring Lender to:

(i)

attempt to satisfy the Secured Liabilities by collecting them from any other person liable for them; or

(ii)

marshal any security or guarantee securing payment or performance of the Secured Liabilities or any particular asset of Pledgor.

(b)	Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral or guarantee provided by any other person to secure any of the Secured Liabilities, without affecting Lender's rights against any Pledgor.

9.6

Registration Rights

(a)

If Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Clause 9, and if in the opinion of Lender it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), Pledgor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of Lender, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Shares, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Pledgor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which Lender shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions in section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b)

Pledgor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c)

Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Clause 9.6 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Clause 9.6 will cause irreparable injury to Lender and the Lenders, that Lender and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach, and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Clause 9.6 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under any Finance Document.

10.
