CHAR2\1572021v4






or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall the Administrative Agent be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
SECTION 10.    Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other Applicable Law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with regard to the scope of the Administrative Agent’s remedies, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by any Applicable Law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors, any Issuer, any Partnership/LLC or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by any Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.  To the extent permitted by any Applicable Law, the Pledgors waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, other than claims arising out of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by any Applicable Law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.
SECTION 11.    Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-In-Fact.  (a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default:
(i)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(ii)    execute, in connection with any sale provided for in this Pledge Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

10
CHAR2\1572021v4






(iii)    (A) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (B) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (C) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (D) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Pledge Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.
(b)    If any Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, upon prior written notice to the Pledgors, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(a).
(c)    The documented and out‐of‐pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Pledge Agreement shall be payable by the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d)    Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof in accordance with Section 11(a).  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Pledge Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Pledge Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.
(e)    Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Pledge Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties , be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
SECTION 12.    Registration Rights; Private Sales.
(a)    The Pledgors recognize that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the 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.  The Pledgors acknowledge and agree 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, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or 

11
CHAR2\1572021v4






under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC would agree to do so.
(b)    The Pledgors further agree to use their commercially reasonable 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 Collateral pursuant to this Section 12 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Law.  The Pledgors further agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 12 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties not compensable in damages, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 12 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgors, and the Pledgors hereby waive and agree 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 the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 13.    Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Obligations.  The Pledgors shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Pledgors, and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgors, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of the Pledgors or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto.  The Pledgors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties , on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement.  The Pledgors waive diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Pledgors with respect to the Obligations.
SECTION 14.    No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Pledgors hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the Pledgors by the Administrative Agent, or the receipt of any amounts by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral, the Pledgors shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent against the Borrower or any guarantor or against any other collateral security held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Pledgors seek any reimbursement from the Borrower or any guarantor in respect of payments made by the Pledgors in connection with the Collateral, or amounts realized by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Collateral, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to the Pledgors on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Pledgors in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated 

12
CHAR2\1572021v4






from other funds of the Pledgors, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgors, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Pledgors (duly indorsed by the Administrative Agent, if required) to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15.    Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral.  The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar securities and property for its own account.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgors or otherwise.  The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  Each of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.
SECTION 16.    Application of Proceeds.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement.  Any balance of such Proceeds remaining shall be paid over to the Borrower, on behalf of the Pledgors, or to whomsoever (if such Person is not a Pledgor) may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.  Only after (a) payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-608 and Section 9-615 of the Code and (b) the payment in full (or, in the case of Letters of Credit, cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and Bank Product Debt) and termination of the Commitments, shall the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same (if such Person is not a Pledgor).  The Administrative Agent may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.
SECTION 17.    Waiver, Deficiency.  Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof.  Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 18.    Right of Set-off.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to Section 13.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Pledgor (any such notice being expressly waived by each Pledgor), to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency), other than deposits in Blackbaud Payment Services Accounts, at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of such Pledgor or any 

13
CHAR2\1572021v4






other Credit Party against any and all obligations of such Pledgor or such other Credit Party now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Pledgor or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 19.    All Powers Coupled with Interest.  All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to any provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.
SECTION 20.    Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 21.    Titles and Captions.  Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Pledge Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 22.    No Waiver by Course of Conduct, Cumulative Remedies.  No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default.  No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No remedy, right or power conferred upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right or power given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and all such remedies, rights and powers shall be cumulative.
SECTION 23.    Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Pledge Agreement may be amended or waived, nor may any consent be given, except in the manner set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 24.    Expenses and Indemnification.
(a)    The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Credit Agreement.

14
CHAR2\1572021v4






(b)    The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, pay and indemnify each indemnified party (which for purposes of this Pledge Agreement shall include, without limitation, all Lenders) against Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement.
(c)    The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each indemnified party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Credit Agreement.
(d)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.
SECTION 25.    Injunctive Relief; Punitive or Indirect Damages.
(a)    Each Pledgor recognizes that, in the event such Pledgor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Pledge Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.  Therefore, each Pledgor agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, at the Required Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
(b)    The Administrative Agent and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that it may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Pledge Agreement or any Loan Document.
(c)    Without limiting the generality of any provisions set forth herein relating to indemnification or reimbursement by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of any consequential or indirect damages against any other party to a Loan Document, and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to consequential or indirect damages that it may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Pledge Agreement or any Loan Document.
SECTION 26.    Successor and Assigns.  This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of each Pledgor (and shall bind all Persons who become bound as a Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement), the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Pledge Agreement (other than an assignment by operation of law that is otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
SECTION 27.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.
(a)    Governing Law.  This Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.
(b)    Jurisdiction.  Each party hereto, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the City of New York in the State of New York (and any courts from which an appeal from any of such courts must or may 

15
CHAR2\1572021v4






be taken) in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of any dispute in connection with this Pledge Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of a summons and complaint and other process in any action, claim or proceeding brought by any other party in connection with this Pledge Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations, on behalf of itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 27 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to bring any action or proceeding against any Pledgor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction if required to realize upon any Collateral.
(c)    Venue.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue in the aforesaid jurisdiction in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement, any other Loan Document or the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder.  Each party hereto irrevocably waives, in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, any plea or claim that the action, claim or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTION 28.    Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)    Jury Trial.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH SECURED PARTY AND EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
(b)    Preservation of Certain Remedies.  The parties hereto and the other Loan Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Pledge Agreement or any Loan Document.  Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable:  (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the Loan Documents or under Applicable Law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a proceeding to confirm the sale, (ii) all rights of self help including peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and peaceful possession of property and (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding.  
SECTION 29.    Notices.  All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses and otherwise in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 30.    Control Agreement.  The Pledgors hereby authorize and instruct each Issuer and Partnership/LLC to comply, and each Issuer and Partnership/LLC hereby agrees to so comply, with any instruction received thereby from the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement with respect to the Collateral, without any consent or further instructions from the Pledgors (or other registered owner), and the Pledgors agree that such Issuer and such Partnership/LLC shall be fully protected in so complying.  Each Issuer and Partnership/LLC agrees that its agreement set forth in the 

16
CHAR2\1572021v4






preceding sentence shall be sufficient to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, “control” of the Partnership/LLC Interests within the meaning of such term under Sections 8-106(c) and 9-106 of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Pledge Agreement is intended or shall be construed to mean or imply that the Partnership/LLC Interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of such term under Section 8-102(a)(15) of the Code or otherwise to limit or modify the application of Section 8-103(c) of the Code.  Rather, the Administrative Agent has requested that this provision be included in this Pledge Agreement solely out of an abundance of caution in the event the Partnership/LLC Interests are, nevertheless, deemed to constitute “securities” under the Code.
SECTION 31.    Concerning the Administrative Agent.  The provisions of Article XII of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent in respect of this Pledge Agreement and shall be binding upon the Pledgors and the Secured Parties.  In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Administrative Agent therein set forth:
(a)    The Administrative Agent is authorized to take all such action as is provided to be taken by it as Administrative Agent hereunder and all other action incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for herein, the Administrative Agent may request instructions from the Secured Parties and shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written instructions from the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required by this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement, all the Lenders) or, in the absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interests therein purported to be granted by this Pledge Agreement, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part (other than any such action or inaction constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct).  The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgors.
SECTION 32.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement.  This Pledge Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.
SECTION 33.    Survival of Indemnities.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Pledge Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are entitled under the provisions of Section 24 and any other provision of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before.
SECTION 34.    Advice of Counsel, No Strict Construction.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Pledge Agreement with its counsel.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Pledge Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by 

17
CHAR2\1572021v4






the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 35.    Acknowledgements.  Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that:
(a)    neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(b)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Pledgors and the Secured Parties.
SECTION 36.    Releases.  At such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and Bank Product Debt) shall have been paid in full (or, in the case of Letters of Credit, cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) and the Commitments have been terminated, this Pledge Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Pledgor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party.  Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, and such Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its reasonable request, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.
SECTION 37.    Additional Pledgors.  Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Pledge Agreement pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Pledgor for all purposes of this Pledge Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Pledge Agreement Supplement.
SECTION 38.    Release of Portions of Collateral.
(a)    So long as no Default or Event of Default is in existence or would exist after the application of proceeds as provided below, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Pledgor, release any or all of the Collateral of such Pledgor, provided that (i) such release is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement (it being agreed for such purposes that a release will be deemed “permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement” if the proposed transaction constitutes an exception contained in Section 10.5 or Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement, all of the applicable Lenders) and (ii) if applicable, the proceeds of such Collateral are to be applied as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any consent or waiver entered into with respect thereto.
(b)    At any time that a Pledgor desires that the Administrative Agent take any action to give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 38(a), the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of a Pledgor, will duly release such Collateral and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.
