SECTION
6. EVENTS
OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
6.1 Events
of Default.
The
occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement
or
under the Parent Loan Agreement is referred to herein individually as an
"Event
of Default" and collectively as "Events of Default".
6.2 Remedies.
(a) At
any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender
shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other
Financing Agreements, the Parent Financing Agreement, the Uniform Commercial
Code and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised
without notice to or consent by Guarantor or any Obligor, except as such
notice
or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable
law.
All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder, under any of
the
other Financing Agreements, the Parent Financing Agreements, the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and
enforceable, in Lender's discretion, alternatively, successively, or
concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without
limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to
restrain a breach or threatened breach by Guarantor of this Agreement, any
of
the other Financing Agreements or any of the Parent Financing Agreements.
Lender
may, at any time or times, proceed directly against Guarantor or any Obligor
to
collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.
(b) Without
limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, Lender may, in its discretion and without limitation,
(i)
accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof
to Lender; provided,
that,
upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and
10.1(h)
of the Loan Agreement, all Obligations shall automatically become immediately
due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance
of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may
be
located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing,
manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require
Guarantor, at Guarantor’s expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any
part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender,
(iv)
collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and
all
Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on
or in
which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure
or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) sell, lease,
transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private
sales
at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at
such
prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for
future delivery, with the Lender having the right to purchase the whole or
any
part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being
free
from any right or equity of redemption of Guarantor, which right or equity
of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Guarantor. If any of
the
Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery,
the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor
is finally collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is
required by law, five (5) days prior notice by Lender to Guarantor designating
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale
or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed
to be
reasonable notice thereof and Guarantor waive any other notice. In the event
Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of
any
Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Guarantors waive the posting of
any
bond which might otherwise be required.
21
(c) Lender
may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Lender from
any
sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment
of
the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Lender may elect,
whether or not then due. Guarantor shall remain liable to Lender for the
payment
of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for in the Loan
Agreement and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including
attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
(d)
For
purposes of enabling Lender to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, Guarantor
hereby grants to Lender, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable non-exclusive
license (exercisable without payment of any royalty or other compensation
to
Guarantor) to use, assign or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks,
trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos, and source of
business identifiers and other Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by Guarantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such
license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items
may be
recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation
or
printout thereof.

(a) The
validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the relationship between
the
parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be
governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (without
giving
effect to principles of conflicts of law).
(b) Guarantor
irrevocably consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
United
States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico and the Court of First
Instance of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico(Superior Court) for San Xxxx
and
waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens
with
respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or
any of
the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected or related or incidental
to the dealings of Guarantors and Lender in respect of this Agreement or
the
other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto,
in
each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract,
tort, equity or otherwise, and agrees that any dispute with respect to any
such
matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Lender
shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor
or any
of its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Lender deems
necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise
enforce its rights against Guarantor or its property).
22
(c) Guarantor
hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents
that
all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt
requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof
and
service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same
shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Lender's option, by
service upon Guarantor in any other manner provided under the rules of any
such
courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, Guarantor shall appear
in
answer to such process, failing which Guarantors shall be deemed in default
and
judgment may be entered by Lender against Guarantor for the amount of the
claim
and other relief requested.
(d) GUARANTOR
AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER
FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANYWAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
TO THE DEALINGS OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF
THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO
IN
EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS
THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY
COURT
TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT GUARANTOR OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF
THE CONSENT OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY
JURY.
(e) Lender
shall not have any liability to Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity
or
otherwise) for losses suffered by Guarantor in connection with, arising out
of,
or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by
this
Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith,
unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order
binding on Lender that the losses were the result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation,
Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that
it
acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance
by
it of the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements.
7.2 Waiver
of Notices.
Guarantor hereby expressly waive demand, presentment, protest and notice
of
protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and
commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the
Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement,
except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand
on
Guarantor which Lender may elect to give shall entitle Guarantor to any other
or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
7.3 Amendments
and Waivers.
Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived
or
discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement
signed by an authorized officer of Lender, and as to amendments, as also
signed
by an authorized officer of Guarantor. Lender shall not, by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any
of its
rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and
signed
by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable
only to
the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any right,
power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
or
waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise
have
on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.
7.4 Waiver
of Counterclaims.
Guarantor waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs
or
counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any
action
or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral
or
any matter arising there from or relating hereto or thereto.
7.5 Indemnification.
Guarantor shall indemnify and hold Lender, and its directors, agents, employees
and counsel, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any
of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any
other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any
of
the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court
costs,
and the fees and expenses of counsel. To the extent that the undertaking
to
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable
because it violates any law or public policy, Guarantor shall pay the maximum
portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Lender in
satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. The foregoing indemnity
shall survive the payment of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement
and the termination or non-renewal of the Loan Agreement.

Net
Payments
.All

or
future income or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions, withholdings, now or here-after imposed, levied, collected, withheld
or assessed by any country (or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein, including England) other than taxes of the Commonwealth
of
Puerto Rico measured by or based upon the overall net income of the Lender
(such
taxes being called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from
any
amounts payable to the Lender hereunder or any other Financing Agreement,
the
amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary
to
yield to the Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement or such other Financing Agreement. It is understood and agreed
that
the Guarantor shall be obligated to so "gross-up" with respect to payments
to
the Lender under or in connection with the Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations even though the Guarantor claims an exemption from the
payment or withholding of Taxes imposed under the laws of England or any
governmental agency or body thereof with respect to such payments to the
Lender.
Whenever any Tax is payable by Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter,
Guarantor shall send to the Lend-er, a certified copy of an original official
receipt showing payment thereof. If the Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes
when
due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender the
required re-ceipts or other required documentary evidence, the Guarantor
shall
indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may
become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. If
any
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender
hereunder or any other Financing Agreement,
Lender
may, but shall not be required to, on behalf of Guarantor, increase
the amounts payable to the Lender to the extent necessary to yield to Lender
(after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement or other
Financing Agreement and Lender may, on behalf of the Guarantor, so "gross-up"
payments to the Lender under or in connection with the Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Lender and Guarantor have caused these presents to be duly
executed as of the day and year first above written, by officers thereof
duly
authorized.
