(b) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (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.
(c) Venue. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action, suit, or proceeding with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of New York. Each Party irrevocably waives any objection it may have to the venue of any action, suit, or proceeding brought in such court or to the convenience of the forum.
(d) Personal Jurisdiction. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of New York for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
7
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10(e).
(f) Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies in this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
(g) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(h) Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that this Agreement shall not prohibit any Lender Party (a “Transferor”) from assigning or otherwise transferring any Loans or Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement which are held thereby to another person (a “Transferee”) to the extent such transfer is permitted by and consummated in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement (a “Transfer”), provided that as a condition
8
precedent to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Transferee executes and delivers a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to counsel to the Borrowers (as set forth in Section 10(a) hereof) at or prior to the time of such Transfer, and such Transferee shall assume all obligations of the Transferor with respect such rights or obligations; it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall require any Transferor (or permit any Transferor, to the extent such assignment is subject to restriction) to assign all or any portion of its New Commitments as a result of any Transfer. With respect to any Transfers effectuated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, (A) such transferee shall be deemed to be a Lender Party for purposes of this Agreement, and (B) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have acknowledged such Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Funding Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any New Commitments to provide the New Term Loans (other than to another Lender Party) at any time without the consent of the Mallinckrodt Parties. Subject to the preceding three sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio.
(i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated or referred to herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties with respect thereto.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies or “PDF” or similar electronic data format copies of signatures shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof.
(l) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(m) Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof.
