 ARTICLE VI 
 REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1 The
Administrative Agent may, at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, transfer the Collateral to the Secured Parties or their nominees, receive income, including money, thereon and hold the income as Collateral
or apply the income to satisfy any Secured Obligations, and the manner of said application shall be in the sole discretion of the Secured Parties. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or the Secured Parties may at any time demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement with reference to the Collateral as the Secured Parties, in their reasonable discretion, choose. The Secured
Parties may delay exercising or may omit to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement without waiving that or any other past, present or future right or remedy. 
 Section 6.2 In protecting, exercising, or assuring its interests, rights, and remedies under this Agreement, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Secured Parties or the Secured Parties may execute, sign, and endorse negotiable and other instruments for the payment of any form of Collateral or proceeds on behalf of and in the name of the Pledgor. 
 Section 6.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter: (a) the Secured Parties shall have, then or at any time
thereafter, the rights and remedies provided by applicable law, including the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code of Texas; and (b) in addition to the rights and remedies referred to in clause
(a) above, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or the Secured Parties may, in their sole discretion, sell, assign, and deliver all or any part of the Collateral at any exchange, broker’s board or at Secured
Parties’ office or elsewhere, or at public or private sale without advertisement, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and the Secured Parties may bid and
become purchaser at any public sale or at any broker’s board, in accordance with applicable securities laws. To the extent required by law, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice 

  

 5 







 
to the Pledgor fifteen (15) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will
be made, by mailing by certified mail such notice to the Pledgor at the address designated herein, which notice shall constitute reasonable notification. 
 Section 6.4 All rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties expressed herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies possessed by the Secured Parties in the Contribution Agreement
and in any other agreement or instrument relating to the Secured Obligations. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 PRIVATE SALES 
 If the Secured Parties
shall determine to exercise their rights to sell all or part of the Collateral pursuant to Article VI hereof, the Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Parties may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Pledged Units by reason
of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as now or hereafter in effect (the “Securities Act”), or in applicable securities or blue sky laws of any state or other jurisdiction, as now or
hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Units for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. If at the time of any sale of the Pledged Units or any part thereof, the same shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered (if required) under the Securities Act (or other applicable
securities law), the Secured Parties in their sole and absolute discretion are authorized to sell such Pledged Units or such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Secured Parties or their counsel may deem
necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without registration. The Pledgor agrees that private sales so made may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such Pledged Units were sold at public
sale, and that the Secured Parties have no obligation to delay the sale of any such Pledged Units for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of the Collateral to register such Pledged Units for public sale under such applicable securities
laws. The Pledgor agrees that any private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 POWER OF ATTORNEY 
 The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent to be the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, effective upon and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor, Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including without limitation: 
 (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 
  

 6 







 (b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above; and 
 (c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
ABSOLUTE 
 All rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder and the security
interest hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the
Secured Obligations. 
 ARTICLE X

Agent or its counsel or representative create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the release of the Collateral as described below, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor and its

and performance in full of the Secured Obligations as provided herein, the security interests created hereunder shall terminate, and the Pledgor shall be entitled to the prompt return, upon its request and its expense, of such of the Collateral or
the proceeds thereof as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.

shall, and hereby agree to, fully and unconditionally release all security interests arising under this Agreement as follows:
