4.8 Private Sale. The Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and the Grantor agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to engage in any such private sales or dispositions under such circumstances. The Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral to permit the Grantor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Grantor would agree to do so. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement and the Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.  The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
The Grantor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Grantor’s expense. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and the Grantor 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 and is continuing.
The Grantor further agrees not to exercise any and all rights of subrogation it may have against a Pledged Entity upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by the Secured 








Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.12.
4.9 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under this Agreement, shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect.
4.10 Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party, 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 the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own name, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the discretion of the Secured Party, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted hereunder, to maintain the perfection or priority of any security interest granted hereunder, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), to do the following upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) to the extent that the Grantor’s authorization given in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement is not sufficient to file such financing statements with respect to this Agreement, with or without the Grantor’s signature;
(j) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;
(k) to prepare, sign, and file any document which may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or similar registrar in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in all registered Intellectual Property and any application for all such registrations, and record the same;
(l) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of the Grantor as debtor; and
(m) to do, at the Secured Party’s option and at the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to protect or preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.
The Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that such attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof provided the same is performed in a commercially reasonable manner. The power of attorney granted hereunder is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 4.12 hereof.
The Grantor also authorizes the Secured Party, at any time from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (x) to communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract constituting Collateral with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of the Grantor in and under the Contract hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (y) to execute, in connection with any sale of Collateral provided for in Section 4.6 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
4.11 Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Grantor shall:









(a) file such financing statements, assignments for security and other documents in such offices as may be necessary or as the Secured Party or its Representative may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement;
(b) at the Secured Party’s request, deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative the originals of all Instruments required to be so delivered hereunder together with, in the case of Instruments constituting promissory notes, allonges attached thereto showing such promissory notes to be payable to the order of a blank payee;
(c) deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative all certificates representing the Pledged Interests now owned by the Grantor, together with undated assignments separate from certificates or stock/membership interest powers duly executed in blank by the Grantor and irrevocable proxies; 
(d) deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative a Mortgage with respect to all real property held by the Grantor that is required to be subject to a Mortgage; 
(e) deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative a Control Agreement for each Deposit Account owned by the Grantor, acceptable in all respects to the Secured Party, duly executed by the Grantor and the financial institution at which the Grantor maintains such Deposit Account; and

4.12 Termination; Partial Release of Collateral. This Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall continue in effect until the Obligations are paid in full (except for contingent indemnity claims for which no claim has been made). When the Obligations are paid in full, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor, and the Secured Party will promptly following such termination deliver possession of all Collateral (including, without limitation, the Pledged Interests, the other Pledged Collateral and any other property then held as part of the Pledged Collateral) to the Grantor and execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as are necessary to evidence such termination, including UCC termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Grantor to effect the termination and release of the Liens and security interests in favor of the Secured Party affecting the Collateral. Upon any sale of property, permitted by the Note Documents, to a party who is not the Grantor or a Subsidiary of the Grantor, the Liens granted herein with respect to such property shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Secured Party shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
4.13 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party or its Representative, and at the sole expense of the Grantor, the Grantor shall promptly and 








duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further actions as the Secured Party or its Representative may reasonably require in order for the Secured Party to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the Secured Party, including, without limitation, using the Grantor’s commercially reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Secured Party of any Collateral held by the Grantor or in which the Grantor has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to the Secured Party’s possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by possession), placing the interest of the Secured Party as lienholder on the certificate of title of any Motor Vehicle, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees, and delivering to the Secured Party all such Control Agreements as the Secured Party or its Representative shall require duly executed by the Grantor and the financial institution at which the Grantor maintains a Deposit Account covered by such Control Agreement. The Grantor also hereby authorizes the Secured Party and its Representative to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of the Grantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
4.14 Limitation on Duty of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party under this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest on behalf of itself and the Holders in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Without in any way limiting the exculpation and indemnification provisions of the Note Documents, the Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives and retains for its own account as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Secured Party nor its Representative nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party and any Representative shall each be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its respective possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the relevant Secured Party or any Representative, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting to the Secured Party of a security interest therein or assignment thereof or the receipt by the Secured Party or any Representative of any payment relating to any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the Secured Party or any Representative be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or license, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
4.15 Dividends, Distributions, Etc. If, prior to the payment in full of the Obligations, the Grantor shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or issued in 








connection with any reorganization, merger or consolidation), or any options or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged Interests or otherwise, the Grantor agrees, in each case, to accept the same as the Secured Party’s agent and to hold the same in trust for the Secured Party, and to deliver the same promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt) to Secured Party in the exact form received, with the endorsement of the Grantor when necessary and/or with appropriate undated assignments separate from certificates or stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Secured Party subject to the terms hereof, as additional Pledged Collateral.  The Grantor shall promptly deliver to the Secured Party (i) a Pledge Supplement with respect to such additional certificates, and (ii) any financing statements or amendments to financing statements as requested by the Secured Party.  The Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to attach each such Pledge Supplement to this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 4.16(b) below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Interests which are received by the Grantor shall, until paid or delivered to the Secured Party, be held by the Grantor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.
4.16 Voting Rights; Dividends; Certificates.
(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall be entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 4.17 below) to exercise its voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Interests and otherwise exercise the incidents of ownership thereof in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement and/or any of the other Note Documents.  The Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party or its nominee, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting, corporate and limited liability company rights relating to the Pledged Interests in any instance, which proxy shall be effective, at the discretion of the Secured Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default so long as the Secured Party has notified the Grantor in writing of its intent to exercise its voting power under this clause prior to the exercise thereof.  Upon the request of the Secured Party at any time, the Grantor agrees to deliver to the Secured Party such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies to vote the Pledged Interests as the Secured Party may reasonably request.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor shall be entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions made in respect of the Pledged Interests, to the extent permitted to be made pursuant to the terms of the Note Documents.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event that the Grantor, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests, shall have received or shall have become entitled to receive, any cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course, the Grantor shall deliver to the Secured Party, and the Secured Party shall be entitled to receive and retain, for the benefit of the Secured Party and the Holders, all such cash or other distributions as additional security for the Obligations.
(c) The Grantor shall cause all Pledged Interests (other than the Pledged Interests of Certus) to be certificated at all times while this Agreement is in effect.
(d) Any or all of the Pledged Interests held by the Secured Party hereunder may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Secured Party has notified the Grantor in writing of its intent to exercise its power of registration under this sentence prior to the exercise thereof, be registered in the name of Secured Party or its nominee, and the Secured Party or its 








nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting with respect to any Pledged Entity and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to any Pledged Entity or upon the exercise by any Pledged Entity, the Grantor or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may reasonably determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by the Secured Party, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
4.17 No Disposition, Etc. Until the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations (except for contingent indemnity claims for which no claim has been made), the Grantor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, nor will the Grantor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest of the Secured Party provided for by this Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Permitted Liens described in clause (k) of the definition thereof.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Secured Party or any of its Representatives to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Secured Party or any of its Representatives of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
5.2 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

The Secured Party, in its capacity as the Collateral Agent, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder (a) without the consent of the Grantor, to any Person (provided that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any assignment, such Person does not engage in a business or activity contemplated by NAICS code 3361 (Motor Vehicle Manufacturing)) or (b) with the Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any other Person acceptable to the Secured Party; provided that the Grantor’s consent under this clause (b) shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and in each event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Secured Party hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

5.8 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS.

THE GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE FOREGOING COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY 








SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE GRANTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

THE GRANTOR AND THE SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION 5.9 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.
