the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the
Secured Party) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein. As of the date
of execution of this Security Agreement, no effective financing statement or
other similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under
the laws of any jurisdiction (a “Financing Statement”) covering all or any part
of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have

request of the Secured Party provide the Secured Party with current good
standing certificates and/or state-certified constituent documents from the
appropriate governmental officials. The chief place of business and chief
executive office of Grantor are located at his address set forth on the
signature page hereof. The Grantor will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral
into any jurisdiction in which an additional Financing Statement would be
required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security
interest in such Collateral. The Grantor will not change his name, the location
of his chief place of business and chief executive office or its corporate
structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization)
unless the Secured Party has been given at least 30 days prior written notice
thereof and the Grantor has executed and delivered to the Secured Party such
Financing Statements and other instruments required or appropriate to continue
the perfection of the Security Interest.

          Section
7.          Rights to
Payment. Except as the Grantor may otherwise advise the Secured Party in
writing, each Account, Chattel Paper, Document, General Intangible and
Instrument constituting or evidencing Collateral is (or, in the case of all
future Collateral, will be

5

when arising or issued) the valid, genuine and legally
enforceable obligation of the Account Debtor or other obligor named therein or
in the Grantor’s records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay or
perform such obligation. Without the Secured Party’s prior written consent, the
Grantor will not agree to any modifications, amendments, subordinations,
cancellations or terminations of the obligations of any such Account Debtors or
other obligors except in the ordinary course of business and in amounts not
exceeding $25,000 per Account debtor or other obligor in any calendar year. The
Grantor will perform and comply in all material respects with all its
obligations under any items included in the Collateral and exercise promptly
and diligently its rights thereunder.

 Grantor agrees that from time to time, at his expense, it will promptly
 execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
 further action, that may be necessary or that the Secured Party may
 reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest
 granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to
 exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
 Collateral (but any failure to request or assure that the Grantor execute and
 deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect

 the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not
 executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior
 occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor
 will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party: (i)

           8(b)          The
 Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file one or more Financing
 Statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, and amendments
 thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature
 of the Grantor where permitted by law. The Grantor irrevocably waives any
 right to notice of any such filing. A photocopy or other reproduction of this
 Agreement or any Financing Statement covering the Collateral or any part
 thereof shall be sufficient as a Financing Statement where permitted by law.

stead of the Grantor (or, at the Secured Party’s option, in the Secured Party’s

reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without
limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the procurement
and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements
and Financing Statements, and the indorsement of instruments); and the Grantor

possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to the
safekeeping which the Secured Party accords its own property of like kind.
Except for the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for monies and for other properties actually received by it
hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty, as to any Collateral, as to
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not
the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to
the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party will take action
in the nature of exchanges, conversions, redemptions, tenders and the like
requested in writing by the Grantor with respect to the Collateral in the
Secured Party’s possession if the Secured Party in its reasonable judgment
determines that such action will not impair the Security Interest or the value
of the Collateral, but a failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such
request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care
with respect to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

          Section
18.          Default.
Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an “Event of Default” under
this Agreement: (a) the Grantor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant
or agreement applicable to the Grantor under this Agreement; or (b) any
representation or warranty made by the Grantor in this Agreement or any
schedule, exhibit, supplement or attachment hereto or in any financial
statements, or reports or certificates heretofore or at any time hereafter
submitted by or on behalf of the Grantor to the Secured Party shall prove to
have been false or materially misleading when made; or (c) any Event of Default
shall occur under the Credit Agreement. 

          Section
19.          Remedies on
Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time
thereafter:

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           19(a)          The
 Secured Party may exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies
 available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform
 Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Minnesota

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           19(b)          The
 Secured Party shall have the right to enter upon and into and take possession
 of all or such part or parts of the properties of the Grantor, including
 lands, plants, buildings, Equipment, Inventory and other property as may be
 necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Secured Party to permit or
 enable the Secured Party to manufacture, produce, process, store or sell or
 complete the manufacture, production, processing, storing or sale of all or
 any part of the Collateral, as the Secured Party may elect, and to use and
 operate said properties for said purposes and for such length of time as the
 Secured Party may deem necessary or appropriate for said purposes without the
 payment of any compensation to Grantor therefor. The Secured Party may
 require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at his
 expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part
 of the Collateral as directed by the

 

9

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Secured Party and make it available to the Secured
 Party at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           19(c)          Any
 disposition of Collateral may be in one or more parcels at public or private
 sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
 credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured
 Party may reasonably believe are commercially reasonable. The Secured Party
 shall not be obligated to dispose of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
 having been given, and the Secured Party may adjourn any public or private
 sale from time to time by announcement made at the time and place fixed
 therefor, and such disposition may, without further notice, be made at the
 time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           19(d)          The
 Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
 charge, all of the Grantor’s property, including, without limitation, all of
 the Grantor’s labels, trademarks, copyrights, patents and advertising matter,
 or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in
 completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral,
 and the Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements
 shall inure to the Secured Party’s benefit until the Obligations are paid in
 full.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           19(e)          If
 notice to the Grantor of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other
 intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice
 shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given in the manner specified for
 the giving of notice in Section 19 hereof at least ten calendar days prior to
 the date of intended disposition or other action, and the Secured Party may
 exercise or enforce any and all other rights or remedies available by law or
 agreement against the Collateral, against the Grantor, or against any other
 Person or property. The Secured Party (i) may dispose of the Collateral in
 its then present condition or following such preparation and processing as
 the Secured Party deems commercially reasonable, (ii) shall have no duty to
 prepare or process the Collateral prior to sale, (iii) may disclaim
 warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like, and (iv) may
 comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection
 with a disposition of the Collateral and none of the foregoing actions shall
 be deemed to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of the
 disposition of the Collateral.

 

          Section
20.          Remedies as
to Certain Rights to Payment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and at any time thereafter the Secured Party may notify any Account Debtor or
other Person obligated on any Accounts or other Collateral that the same have
been assigned or transferred to the Secured Party and that the same should be
performed as requested by, or paid directly to, the Secured Party, as the case
may be. The Grantor shall join in giving such notice, if the Secured Party so
requests. The Secured Party may, in the Secured Party’s name or in the
Grantor’s name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at
any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such Collateral
or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise
agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligation of any such Account
Debtor or other Person. If any payments on any such Collateral are received by
the Grantor after an Event of Default has occurred, such payments shall be held
in trust by the Grantor as the property of the Secured Party and shall not be
commingled with any

10

funds or property of the Grantor and shall be forthwith
remitted to the Secured Party for application on the Obligations.

          Section
21.          Application
of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured
Party as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter be applied in whole
or in part by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations
(including, without limitation, any expenses of the Secured Party payable
pursuant to Section 22 hereof).

          Section
22.          Costs and
Expenses; Indemnity. The Grantor will pay or reimburse the Secured Party on
demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the
Secured Party, including in each case all filing and recording costs and fees,
taxes, charges and disbursements of outside counsel to the Secured Party
(determined on the basis of such counsel’s generally applicable rates, which
may be higher than the rates such counsel charges the Secured Party in certain
matters) and/or the allocated costs of in-house counsel incurred from time to
time, in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction,
foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the
preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this
Agreement, and all such costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations
secured by the Security Interest. The Grantor shall indemnify and hold the
Secured Party harmless from and against any and all claims, losses and
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) growing out of or resulting
from this Agreement and the Security Interest hereby created (including enforcement
of this Agreement) or the Secured Party’s actions pursuant hereto, except
claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Secured Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction. Any liability of the Grantor to indemnify and hold
the Secured Party harmless pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be part of
the Obligations secured by the Security Interest. The obligations of the
Grantor under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          Section
23.          Waivers;
Remedies; Marshalling. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended,
terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only
explicitly in a writing signed by the Secured Party. A waiver so signed shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of
any rights and remedies available to the Secured Party. All rights and remedies
of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly in any
order or sequence, or concurrently, at the Secured Party’s option, and the
exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be a
condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. The Grantor
hereby waives all requirements of law, if any, relating to the marshalling of
assets which would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by the
Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, absent this waiver.

          Section
24.          Waiver of
Defenses. The Grantor waives the benefit of any and all defenses and
discharges available to a guarantor, surety, indorser or accommodation party,
dependent on its character as such. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Grantor (in such capacity) waives presentment, demand for
payment, and notice of nonpayment or protest of any note or any other
instrument evidencing any of the Obligations; and the Grantor

11

agrees that his liability hereunder and the Security
Interest hereby created shall not be affected or impaired in any way by any of
the following acts and things (which the Secured Party may do from time to time
without notice to the Grantor): (a) by any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise,
settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution,
exchange, change in, modification, or other disposition of any of the
Obligations or any evidence thereof or any collateral therefor, (b) by any
acceptance or release of collateral for or guarantors of any of the
Obligations, (c) by any failure, neglect or omission to realize upon or protect
any of the Obligations, or to obtain, perfect, enforce or realize upon any
collateral therefor, or to exercise any Lien upon or right of appropriation of
any moneys, credits or property toward the liquidation of any of the
Obligations, or (d) by any application of payments or credits upon any of the
Obligations. The Secured Party shall not be required, before exercising its
rights under this Agreement, to first resort for payment of any of the
Obligations to the Debtor or any other Persons, its or their properties or
estates, or any collateral, property, Liens or other rights or remedies
whatsoever. The Grantor agrees not to exercise any right of contribution,
recourse, subrogation or reimbursement available to the Grantor against the
Debtor or any other Person or property, unless and until all Obligations and
all other debts, liabilities and obligations owed by the Debtor and the Grantor
to the Secured Party have been paid and discharged. The Grantor expects to
derive benefits from the transactions resulting in the creation of the
Obligations. The Secured Party may rely conclusively on the continuing
warranty, hereby made, that the Grantor continues to be benefited by the
Secured Party’s extension of credit accommodations to the Debtor and the
Secured Party shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any
such benefits, and this Agreement shall be effective and enforceable by the
Secured Party without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such
benefits.

          Section
25.          Notices.
Any notice or other communication to any party in connection with this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by manual delivery, facsimile
transmission, overnight courier or United States mail (postage prepaid)
addressed to such party at the address specified on the signature page hereof,
or at such other address as such party shall have specified to the other party
hereto in writing. All periods of notice shall be measured from the date of
delivery thereof if manually delivered, from the date of sending thereof if
sent by facsimile transmission, from the first business day after the date of
sending if sent by overnight courier, or from four days after the date of
mailing if mailed.

          Section
26.          Grantor
Acknowledgments. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that (a) it has been
advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement, (b) the Secured Party has no fiduciary relationship to the Grantor,
the relationship being solely that of debtor and creditor, and (c) no joint
venture exists between the Grantor and the Secured Party.

          Section
27.          Representations
and Warranties. The Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured
Party that:

           27(c)          This
 Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantor
 enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
 limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
 similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
 general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in
 equity or at law).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           27(d)          The
 execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not (i) violate
 any provision of any law, statute, rale or regulation or any order, writ,
 judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court,
 governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to
 the Grantor, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of the articles of
 organization of the Grantor, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a
 default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement,

 its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder.

 rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination
 or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement,

           27(e)          Except

 or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of,
 or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this
 Agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           27(f)          There
 are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
 Grantor, threatened against or affecting the Grantor or any of its properties
 before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency
 or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to the Grantor, would
 have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or
 condition (financial or otherwise) of the Grantor or on the ability of the
 Grantor to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

          Section
28.          Continuing
Security Interest; Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall

expiration of any obligation of the Secured Party to extend credit
accommodations to the Debtor, the Security Interest granted hereby shall
terminate. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will return to the
Grantor such of the Collateral then in the possession of the Secured Party as
shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and
execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any reversion or return of
Collateral upon termination of this Agreement and any instruments of transfer
or termination shall be at the expense of the Grantor and shall be without
warranty by, or recourse on, the Secured Party. As used in this Section, “Grantor”
includes any assigns of Grantor, any Person holding a subordinate security
interest in any of the Collateral or whoever else may be lawfully entitled to
any part of the Collateral.

          Section
30.          Governing Law and Construction. THE VALIDITY,
CONSTRUCTION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY
INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR
COLLATERAL ARE MANDATORILY GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN
THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
and any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or
relating hereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under such applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement or any
other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating
hereto shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law,
such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other statement, instrument or
transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto.

          Section
31.          Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF
THE SECURED PARTY, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA

ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE
SECURED PARTY AT ITS OPTION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO
ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE-DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT
BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.

14

          Section
32.          Waiver of Notice and Hearing. THE GRANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JUDICIAL HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE
EXERCISE BY THE SECURED PARTY OF ITS RIGHTS TO POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL
WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR OF ITS RIGHTS TO REPLEVY, ATTACH, OR LEVY UPON THE
COLLATERAL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING. THE GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROVISION AND
THIS AGREEMENT.

          Section

          Section
34.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such

Exhibit 10.7

PLEDGE
AGREEMENT

          THIS
PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 9, 2009, is made and given by
ELECTROMED, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Minnesota (the “Pledgor”) to U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Secured
Party”).

RECITALS

          A.     The
Pledgor and the Secured Party have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of
December 9, 2009 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which
the Secured Party has agreed to extend to the Pledgor certain credit
accommodations consisting of a revolving facility and two term loan facilities.

          B.     The
Pledgor is the owner of the member interests (the “Pledged Member Interests”)
described in Schedule I hereto issued by the limited liability company named
therein.

          C.     It
is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Secured Party to extend
credit accommodations pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement that this
Agreement be executed and delivered by the Pledgor.

          D.     The
Pledgor finds it advantageous, desirable and in the best interests of the
Pledgor to comply with the requirement that this Agreement be executed and
delivered to the Secured Party.

          NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Secured
Party to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit accommodations to
the Pledgor thereunder, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Secured Party for
the Secured Party’s benefit as follows:

          Section

3.      Delivery of Collateral. All
certificates and instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Member
Interests shall be delivered to the Secured Party contemporaneously with the
execution of this Agreement. All certificates and instruments representing or
evidencing Collateral received by the Pledgor after the execution of this

receipt thereof. All such certificates and instruments shall be held by or on
behalf of the Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for

any time, whether before or after an Event of Default, to cause any or all of
the Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of the Secured Party
or its nominee (but subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section 6) and
to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates
of smaller or larger denominations. If the Collateral is in the possession of a
bailee, the Pledgor will join with the Secured Party in notifying the bailee of
the interest of the Secured Party and in obtaining from the bailee an
acknowledgment that it hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured
Party.

 Pledged Member Interests constitute the percentage of the issued and
 outstanding member interests of the respective issuers thereof indicated on

5.     Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees
that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, the
Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or that the
Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the
Security Interest or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral (but any failure
to request or assure that the Pledgor execute and deliver such instruments or
documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity,
sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest,
regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or
action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion).

          Section

           6(a)    Subject
 to paragraph (d) of this Section 6, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise
 or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights
 pertaining to the Pledged Member Interests or any other stock that becomes
 part of the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent
 with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, however,
 that the Pledgor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right
 if such action could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
 on the value of the Collateral or any material part thereof.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           6(b)    Subject
 to paragraph (e) of this Section 6, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive,
 retain, and use in any manner not prohibited by the Credit Agreement any and
 all dividends paid in respect of the Collateral; provided, however,
 that any and all

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i)          dividends
 paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other
 property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in
 exchange for, any Collateral,

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)          dividends
 and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral
 in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in
 connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus,
 and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iii)          cash
 paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for,
 any Collateral,

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the
 Secured Party to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor,
 be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, be segregated from
 the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the
 Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
 necessary indorsement or assignment). The Pledgor shall, upon request by the
 Secured Party, promptly execute all such documents and do all such acts as
 may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the provisions of this
 Section 6.

           6(c)    The
 Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
 delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the
 Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to

 to Section 6 hereof and to receive the dividends that it is authorized to
 receive and retain pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           6(d)    Upon
 the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
 Secured Party shall have the right in its sole discretion, and the Pledgor
 shall execute and deliver all such proxies and other instruments as may be
 necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to terminate all
 rights of the Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and
 other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
 pursuant to Section 6 hereof, and all such rights shall thereupon become
 vested in the Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to
 exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights;
 provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not be deemed to possess or
 have control over any voting rights with respect to any Collateral unless and
 until the Secured Party has given written notice to the Pledgor that any
 further exercise of such voting rights by the Pledgor is prohibited and that
 the Secured Party and/or its assigns will henceforth exercise such voting
 rights; and provided, further, that neither the registration of any item of
 Collateral in the Secured Party’s name nor the exercise of any voting rights
 with respect thereto shall be deemed to constitute a retention by the Secured
 Party of any such Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations or any part
 thereof.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           6(e)    Upon
 the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i)          all
 rights of the Pledgor to receive the dividends that it would otherwise be
 authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall cease,
 and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who
 shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold such dividends as
 Collateral, and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)          all
 payments of dividends that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the
 provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 6 shall be received in trust for
 the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of the
 Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party as Collateral

 as may be permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor agrees that it will

 create or permit to exist any Lien, upon or with respect to any of the

 addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Member Interests issued by
 such issuer, except to the

 

5

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Pledgor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon
 its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional
 member interests or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Member
 Interests.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 8.     Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
 As additional security for the Obligations, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably
 appoints the Secured Party the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority
 in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or
 otherwise, from time to time in the Secured Party’s good-faith discretion, to
 take any action and to execute any instrument that the Secured Party may
 reasonably believe necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
 Agreement (subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section 6 hereof), in a
 manner consistent with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, to receive,
 indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing
 any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part
 thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 9.     Secured Party May Perform. The Pledgor
 hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file financing statements with respect
 to the Collateral (including financing statements containing a broader
 description of the Collateral than the description set forth herein. The
 Pledgor irrevocable waives any right to notice of any such filing. If the
 Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party
 may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
 reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith
 shall be payable by the Pledgor under Section 14 hereof.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 10.     The Secured Party’s Duties. The
 powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its
 interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
 any such powers. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
 reasonable care in the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession if
 such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to the safekeeping
 which the Secured Party accords its own property of like kind. Except for the
 safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies
 and for other properties actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party
 shall have no duty, as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action
 with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
 matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or
 is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
 necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights
 pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party will take action in the
 nature of exchanges, conversions, redemption, tenders and the like requested
 in writing by the Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral in the
 Secured Party’s possession if the Secured Party in its reasonable judgment
 determines that such action will not impair the Security Interest or the
 value of the Collateral, but a failure of the Secured Party to comply with
 any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise
 reasonable care.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 11.     Default Each of the following
 occurrences shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: (a) the
 Pledgor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement applicable
 to the Pledgor under this Agreement; (b) any representation or warranty made
 by the Pledgor in this Agreement or in any financial statements, reports or
 certificates heretofore or at any time hereafter submitted by or on behalf of
 the Pledgor to the Secured Party shall prove to have been false or materially
 misleading when made; (c) any Event of Default

 

6

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 shall occur under the Credit Agreement; (d) the
 Secured Party receives at any time any information indicating that the
 Secured Party’s Security Interest is not enforceable, is not perfected or in
 not prior to all other security interests or other interests in the
 Collateral, except as otherwise agreed by the Secured Party.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 12.      Remedies upon Default. If any Event
 of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           12(a)     The
 Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
 rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the
 rights and remedies of a secured party on default under Revised Article 9 of
 the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Minnesota (the “Code”)
 in effect at that time, and may, without notice except as specified below,
 sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
 private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Secured
 Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and
 upon such other terms as the Secured Party may reasonably believe are
 commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of
 sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior notice to the Pledgor
 of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
 sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured
 Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
 notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or
 private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
 therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
 place to which it was so adjourned. The Pledgor hereby waives all
 requirements of law, if any, relating to the marshalling of assets which
 would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by the Secured Party
 of its remedies hereunder, absent this waiver. The Secured Party may disclaim
 warranties of title and possession and the like.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           12(b)     The
 Secured Party may notify any Person obligated on any of the Collateral that
 the same has been assigned or transferred to the Secured Party and that the
 same should be performed as requested by, or paid directly to, the Secured
 Party, as the case may be. The Pledgor shall join in giving such notice, if
 the Secured Party so requests. The Secured Party may, in the Secured Party’s
 name or in the Pledgor’s name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money
 or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any
 such Collateral or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement
 with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligation of
 any such Person.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           12(c)     Any
 cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received
 by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
 realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of
 the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, or then or
 at any time thereafter be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party
 against, all or any part of the Obligations (including any expenses of the
 Secured Party payable pursuant to Section 14 hereof).

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 13.     Waiver of Certain Claims. The Pledgor
 acknowledges that because of present or future circumstances, a question may
 arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as from

 

7

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), with
 respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. The Pledgor
 understands that compliance with the Securities Act may very strictly limit
 the course of conduct of the Secured Party if the Secured Party were to
 attempt to dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral and may also limit
 the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of the
 Collateral or any portion thereof may dispose of the same. There may be other
 legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Secured Party in any attempt
 to dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral under the applicable Blue
 Sky or other securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.
 The Secured Party 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 Collateral for their own account for investment only
 and not to engage in a distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor agrees
 that the Secured Party shall not incur any liability, and any liability of
 the Pledgor for any deficiency shall not be impaired, as a result of the sale
 of the Collateral or any portion thereof at any such private sale in a manner
 that the Secured Party reasonably believes is commercially reasonable (within
 the meaning of Section 9-627 of the Uniform Commercial Code). The Pledgor
 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 sale
 was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was
 less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party
 shall accept the first offer received and does not offer any portion of the
 Collateral to more than one possible purchaser. The Pledgor further agrees
 that the Secured Party has no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for
 the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Collateral to
 qualify or register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act,
 applicable Blue Sky laws and other applicable state and federal securities
 laws, even if said issuer would agree to do so. Without limiting the
 generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section would apply if,
 for example, the Secured Party were to place all or any portion of the
 Collateral for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such
 investment banking firm purchased all or any portion of the Collateral for
 its own account, or if the Secured Party placed all or any portion of the
 Collateral privately with a purchaser or purchasers.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 14.     Costs and Expenses; Indemnity. The
 Pledgor will pay or reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all reasonable
 out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Secured Party, including in
 each case all filing and recording costs and fees, charges, taxes and
 disbursements of outside counsel to the Secured Party (determined on the
 basis of such counsel’s generally applicable rates, which may be higher than
 the rates such counsel charges the Secured Party in certain matters) and/or
 the allocated costs of in-house counsel incurred from time to time, in
 connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction,
 foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation,
 administration, continuance, amendment, collection and enforcement of this
 Agreement, and all such costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations
 secured by the Security Interest. The Pledgor shall indemnify and hold the
 Secured Party harmless from and against any and all claims, losses and
 liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) growing out of or
 resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or
 the Secured Party’s actions pursuant hereto, except claims, losses or
 liabilities resulting from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful
 misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
 jurisdiction. Any liability of the Pledgor to indemnify and hold Secured
 Party harmless pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be part of the
 Obligations secured by the Security Interest. The obligations of the Pledgor
 under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

           Section
 15.     Waivers and Amendments; Remedies.
 This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged,
 and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing
 signed by the Secured Party. A waiver so signed shall be effective only in
 the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or
 failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any rights
 and remedies available to the Secured Party. All rights and remedies of the
 Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly in any order or
 sequence, or concurrently, at the Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or
 enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor
 bar the exercise or enforcement of any other.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 16.     Notices. Any notice or other
 communication to any party in connection with this Agreement shall be in
 writing and shall be sent by manual delivery, telegram, telex, facsimile
 transmission, overnight courier or United States mail (postage prepaid)
 addressed to such party at the address specified on the signature page
 hereof, or at such other address as such party shall have specified to the
 other party hereto in writing. All periods of notice shall be measured from
 the date of delivery thereof if manually delivered, from the date of sending
 thereof if sent by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission, from the first
 business day after the date of sending if sent by overnight courier, or from
 four days after the date of mailing if mailed.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 17.     Pledgor Acknowledgments. The Pledgor
 hereby acknowledges that (a) the Pledgor has been advised by counsel in the
 negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (b) the Secured Party
 has no fiduciary relationship to the Pledgor, the relationship being solely that
 of debtor and creditor, and (c) no joint venture exists between the Pledgor
 and the Secured Party.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 18.     Continuing Security Interest; Assignments
 under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security
 interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect
 until the payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration of the
 obligation, if any, of the Secured Party to extend credit accommodations to
 the Pledgor, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and
 (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party
 hereunder, to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Party and
 its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of
 the foregoing clause (c), the Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
 all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement
 to any other Person to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit
 Agreement, and may similarly transfer all or any portion of its rights under
 this Pledge Agreement to such Persons.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 19.     Termination of Security Interest. Upon payment in full of the
 Obligations and the expiration of any obligation of the Secured Party to extend
 credit accommodations to the Pledgor, the security interest granted hereby
 shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor.
 Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will return to the Pledgor such
 of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant
 to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as
 the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any
 reversion or return of the Collateral upon termination of this Agreement and
 any instruments of transfer or termination shall be at the expense of the
 Pledgor and shall be without warranty by, or recourse on, the Secured Party.
 As used in this Section, “Pledgor” includes any assigns of Pledgor, any Person
 holding a subordinate security

 interest in any part of the Collateral or whoever
 else may be lawfully entitled to any part of the Collateral.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 20.     Governing
 Law and Construction. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND ENFORCEABILITY
 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA;
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO EFFECT SHALL BE GIVEN TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
 PRINCIPLES OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY
 OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN
 RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE MANDATORILY GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
 A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. Whenever possible, each
 provision of this Agreement and any other statement, instrument or
 transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be interpreted in
 such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but, if
 any provision of this Agreement or any other statement, instrument or
 transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be held to be
 prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be
 ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
 invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
 this Agreement or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated
 hereby or relating hereto.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
           Section
 21.     Consent
 to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF THE SECURED PARTY, THIS AGREEMENT MAY
