their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each
other holder of partnership interests or limited liability company
interests in such issuer to the security interest of the Collateral
Trustee hereunder and following a Secured Debt Default, the
transfer of such Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC
Interests to the Collateral Trustee or its designee, and to the
substitution of the Collateral Trustee or its designee as a partner
or member with all the rights and powers related thereto. Each
Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Lien in
all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Trustee and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing consents to the
transfer of any Pledged Partnership Interest and any Pledged LLC
Interest to the Collateral Trustee or its designee if a Secured

Trademark, or registered or applied for Copyright that was
previously anticipated to be abandoned, cancelled, or permitted to
lapse by such Grantor will not actually be abandoned, cancelled, or
permitted to lapse, such Grantor agrees that with respect

for Trademark, or registered or applied for Copyright, as
applicable, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
take the actions listed in Section 4.1 (h), (i), and
