exchange, or otherwise. Any such sale or sales may likewise be made through
negotiated over-the-counter transactions, provided that if any such sales be at

sale/s free from any right or equity of redemption, such right or equity being hereby
expressly waived and released by the Pledgor.

attorney in fact, with full power and authority to do and perform, by itself or through
its nominees or agents, with full power of substitution or revocation, any and all acts
and things which may be necessary, proper or convenient to be done or performed in
and about the premises, without however, any responsibility on the part of the
Pledgee for its failure to do any or all of its powers herein vested, all to the same
purposes and effects as if done by the Pledgor, and all acts done in conformity with
the powers herein granted are hereby confirmed and ratified.

operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, privilege or remedy under the same. No modification or waiver of any
provision of this Pledge, the Loan Agreement and any Note, and no consent to any
departure by the Pledgor from the same shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in

assigns, except that the Pledgor may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder

this Pledge for as long as the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof remain
