| 7. | MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS |
| 7.1 | Tax Matters. If Borrower is required by any law or regulation to make any deduction or withholding, on account of tax or otherwise, from any payment to Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall deduct or withhold such amount from such payment, remit the amount to the relevant tax authority and furnish Lender within thirty (30) days with a copy of any official receipt or receipts issued by such tax authority evidencing such payment together with such other documentation as Lender may reasonably request. Borrower will provide Lender with reasonable assistance to enable Lender to recover such taxes as permitted by law. |
The parties shall cooperate and produce on a timely basis any tax forms or reports reasonably requested by the other party in connection with any payment made by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement. To the extent that any deduction or withholding applies to any payments made under this Agreement and the obligation on Borrower to deduct or withhold can be relieved (or the obligation to deduct or withhold can be reduced to a lesser amount) on an application for relief by Borrower or Lender, Borrower shall at Lender’s
5
request, as soon as is reasonably practicable, make such application (including, but not limited to, seeking relief under any applicable double taxation treaty or convention), to enable it to pay amounts under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding (or to pay amounts at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding). Each party shall provide reasonable cooperation to the other party, at the other party’s expense, in connection with any official or unofficial tax audit or contest relating to payments made by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement.
| 7.2 | Assignment. (i) Borrower may not assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights, obligations and/or benefits arising from, or in connection with, this Agreement without the prior written consent from Lender; and (ii) Lender may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights, obligations and/or benefits arising from, or in connection with, this Agreement on notice to Borrower (each an “Assignment”); provided, however, that an Assignment of any rights, obligations and/or benefits arising from, or in connection with, this Agreement shall only be permitted (i) to BHC or any of its “restricted” subsidiaries or (ii) as security for the obligations outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or other senior secured corporate debt of BHC and/or its subsidiaries; provided, further, that the value of any such Assignment shall be limited to the principal amount of this Loan plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the date of such assignment. |
| 7.3 | Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended only if such amendment is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Lender. |
| 7.4 | Set-Off. To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, to set-off any amount owed by Lender to Borrower against any amount owed by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement. Lender will promptly notify Borrower after any set-off, but the failure to give notice will not affect the validity of the set-off. |
| 7.5 | No Waiver. Any forbearance or failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise thereof. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorised officer of Lender. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. |
| 7.6 | No Usury. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no interest owing under this Agreement shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If any amount paid as interest under this Agreement is above the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall not constitute interest but shall constitute a payment towards the principal amount due. It is the express intent hereof that Borrower not pay and that Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by Borrower under applicable law. |
| 7.7 | Notices. Any demand or other communication (“Notice”) to be given by any party under, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it. Each party shall provide to the other its notice information, including its mailing address, facsimile, email address and the name of its officer to whose attention any Notice should be sent. Any Notice shall be served by sending it by email transmission, |
6
| fax, courier, or delivering it by hand and in each case marked for the attention of the officer identified by the relevant party (or as otherwise notified from time to time in writing). Any Notice so served by email, fax, courier or hand shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) if sent by email or fax, at the time of transmission, or (b) in the case of delivery by courier or hand, when delivered, provided that in each case where delivery by email, fax, courier or by hand occurs after 6 PM on a Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, service shall be deemed to occur at 9 AM on the next following Business Day. References to time in this Section are to local time in the country of the addressee. In proving service it shall be sufficient to prove that the envelope containing such notice was properly addressed and delivered to the address shown thereon or that the facsimile transmission was made and a facsimile confirmation report was received, as the case may be. |
| 7.8 | Severability. If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the legality, validity and enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction, and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, shall not be affected or impaired thereby. |
| 7.9 | Illegality. If it becomes unlawful for Lender to give effect to its obligations under this Agreement, it shall notify Borrower in writing and such obligations shall cease and Borrower shall, within such period as may be permitted by the relevant law, repay the Loan together with all interest accrued to the date of repayment and all other monies payable under this Agreement. |
| 7.10 | Expenses. If requested by Lender, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all actual and reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery of this Agreement and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all attorney costs, and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender in enforcing any obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or in collecting any payments due from Borrower hereunder. |

7
| whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of or breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. |
