then, when any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (h), (i) or above) has occurred and shall be continuing after Purchaser delivers written notice thereof and has not been waived, the principal of the Debenture and the interest accrued thereon and all other

46


29453927


amounts due under any Operative Document (collectively, the “Other Payments”), shall, upon written notice from the Purchaser, forthwith become and be due and payable, if not already due and payable, without presentment, further demand or other notice of any kind. If any Event of Default described in clauses (h), (i) or (j) above occurs, the principal of all of the Debenture, the interest accrued thereon and the Other Payments shall immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, or notice of any kind. If any principal, installment of interest or Other Payment is not paid in full on the due date thereof (whether by maturity, prepayment or acceleration) or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after delivery of written notice, then the outstanding principal balance of the Debenture, any overdue installment of interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law), including interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law and all Other Payments will bear additional interest from the due date of such payment, or from and after an Event of Default, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate allowed by applicable law or (ii) an amount equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Debenture, plus two percent (2%) per annum (such rate being referred to as the “Default Rate”), compounded quarterly, until the payment is received or the Event of Default is cured, if permitted, or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof.   If payment of the Debenture is accelerated, then the outstanding principal balance thereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate from and after the Event of Default. The Credit Parties shall pay to the Purchaser all invoiced out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in any effort to collect the Debenture, and the other payments, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for services rendered in connection therewith, and pay interest on such costs and expenses to the extent not paid when demanded at the Default Rate.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in addition thereto, if an Event of Default under clause (a) above has occurred and is continuing after Purchaser delivers written notice thereof and has not been waived, then the Purchaser may declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture (together with all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable with respect thereto) to be immediately due and payable and may demand immediate payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture (together with all such other amounts then due and payable to it).

 

9.2       Suits for Enforcement. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right or remedy of the Purchaser.

 

9.3       Delays or Omissions. No failure to exercise or delay in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to the Purchaser upon any breach or default of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Purchaser nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

 

 

47


29453927


9.4       Remedies Cumulative.    All remedies under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, by law or otherwise, afforded to the Purchaser shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

9.5       Set-off.    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Purchaser and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Purchaser or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Operative Document to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Purchaser or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Operative Document  and although such obligations of such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Purchaser different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Purchaser and its Affiliates may have. The Purchaser agrees to notify the Company and the Purchaser 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.

The Purchaser shall not be liable to any Credit Party or any other Person on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

 

10.11   Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

10.12   Taxes; Etc.

 

(a)       Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Operative Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of a withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, unless such Tax is a tax on the overall net income of the Purchaser, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)       Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.   The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Purchaser timely reimburse it for the payment of, any present or future stamp, court or documentary, excise, intangible, recording, filing  or similar Taxes  that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of,

 

 

51


29453927


from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any

Operative Document.

 

(c)       Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Purchaser, within ten  (10) days  after demand  therefor, for the full amount of any  Taxes other than Taxes imposed on the overall net income of Purchaser (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Purchaser or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Purchaser and any reasonable and invoiced expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate prepared in good faith, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the amount of such payment or liability and delivered to the Company by the Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)       Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Purchaser the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such  payment, a copy of the return  reporting  such  payment  or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

 

(e)       Status of the Purchaser.

 

(i)        If the Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Operative Document, it shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by  applicable law or reasonably  requested by  the Company  as will enable the Company to determine whether or not the Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Purchaser.

 

(f)        Treatment of Certain Refunds.    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).   Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest   or other charges imposed by the relevant

 

52


29453927


Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.    Notwithstanding anything  to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld  or  otherwise  imposed and the  indemnification  payments or  additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(g)       Survival.   Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by the Purchaser and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Operative Document.

 

10.13   Increased Costs.

 

(a)       Increased Costs Generally.    If any  Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Purchaser;   (ii) subject the Purchaser to any Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Purchaser) on the Debenture, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on the Purchaser any  other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the investment in the Debenture made by the Purchaser; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Purchaser of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any investment in the Debenture, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Purchaser, the Company will pay to the Purchaser, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Purchaser, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)       Capital Requirements.   If the Purchaser determines that any Change in Law affecting the Purchaser or its shareholders, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of its shareholders as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Debenture, to a level below that which the Purchaser or its shareholders could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Purchaser’s policies and the policies of its shareholders with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to the Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Purchaser or its shareholders for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)       Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Purchaser prepared in good faith, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Purchaser or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company, shall be

 

 

53


29453927


conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay the Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)       Delay in Requests.    Failure or  delay on the  part of the  Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate the Purchaser pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that the Purchaser notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

10.14   Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.   In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.    The parties intend that  each  representation,  warranty,  and  covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.   If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect or any Event of Default shall occur, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant or Event of Default relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant or that the first Event of Default shall have occurred.

 

10.15   Further Cooperation.    At  any time and  from time to  time,  and  at  its  own expense, the Credit Parties shall promptly execute and deliver all such agreements, documents and instruments, and do all such acts and things, as the Purchaser reasonably may request in order to further effect the purposes of this Agreement.

EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO EACH OTHER PARTY’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY IS RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH THE OTHER PARTIES.   EACH PARTY HERETO WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL

COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL  JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH OF THE  CREDIT  PARTIES HEREBY  WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE  OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS FOR GIVING NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.   NOTHING  IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE PURCHASER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE PURCHASER OF ANY JUDGMENT OR ORDER OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM OR THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ENFORCE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM OR JURISDICTION.

 

10.18   Indemnification.   The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and each of its Related Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Credit Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Persons arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Operative Document, or any  agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any loan or other credit extension or investment or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or

55


29453927


(y) result from a claim brought by the Company against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any  other Operative Document, if the Company have obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
