and each Pledgor agrees that such compliance is commercially reasonable. The Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties, specifically disclaiming any warranties of title or the like and each Pledgor agrees that such disclaimer is commercially reasonable.
6.2 Application of Proceeds.
(a) All Proceeds collected by the Agent upon any sale, other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Agent hereunder, shall be applied as follows:
FIRST, to the Issuing Bank and Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank and Agent for that portion of the payments, if any, made by it with respect to Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties for which a Lender, as a participant in such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement, failed to pay its pro rata share thereof as required pursuant to such Section 2.04;
SECOND, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations, including, but not limited to, those under Section 8.1, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Agent hereunder on behalf of the Pledgors and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;
THIRD, to the Agent to be held as cash collateral to the extent of the undrawn amounts, if any, of outstanding Letters of Credit or LC Guaranties;
FOURTH, pro rata to the payment in full of (i) principal and interest in respect of any Loans outstanding (pro rata as among the Lenders in accordance with the amounts of the Loans made by them pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and (ii) all unpaid monetary obligations of any Pledgor to a Secured Party under any Derivative Obligations;
FIFTH, pro rata to the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than those referred to above) owed to the Secured Parties (pro rata as among the Secured Parties in accordance with the amount of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution).
SIXTH, to the Pledgors, their successors and assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(b) For purposes of applying amounts in accordance with this Section, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Derivative Obligation with the Borrower for a determination (which such Secured Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Secured Obligations owed to such Secured Party under any such Derivative Obligation. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from any such Secured Party) to the contrary, the Agent, in
23
acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Derivative Obligations or Secured Obligations in respect thereof are in existence between any Secured Party and the Borrower.
(c) Each Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of all Proceeds realized upon sale, other disposition or collection of the Collateral, and monies held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations. Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder by the Agent (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt by the Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
6.3 Collateral Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and maintained, at its principal office or such other location or locations as it may establish from time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts (collectively, “Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the Collateral. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as herein provided. The Agent shall have sole dominion and control over all funds deposited in any Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to (and, if directed by the Required Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement, shall) apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 6.2.
6.4 Grant of License. Each Pledgor hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Pledgor) to use, license or sublicense any Patent Collateral or Trademark Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Agent shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and 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 software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license or sublicense by the Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Agent, and only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Pledgor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
6.5 Private Sales.
(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as in effect from time to time, the Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests conducted without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to any one or more persons who will represent and agree, among other
24
things, to acquire such Pledged Equity Interests for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be made in such manner and under such circumstances as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, including at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and agrees that the Agent shall have no obligation to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit its registration for public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and shall not have any responsibility or liability as a result of its election so not to conduct any such public sales or delay the sale of any Pledged Equity Interests, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after such registration. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Equity Interests may have been sold at any private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Equity Interests to more than one offeree.
(b) Each Pledgor agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgors.
6.6 The Pledgors Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Pledgor shall remain liable under all Contracts to which it is a party included within the Collateral (including, without limitation, all Investment Agreements) to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its obligations under any of such Contracts, and (iii) except as specifically provided for hereinbelow, neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under any of such Contracts, nor shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. This Agreement shall not in any way be deemed to obligate the Agent, any other Secured Party or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under this Agreement to assume any of a Pledgor’s obligations, duties or liabilities under any Investment Agreement, including, without limitation, any Pledgor’s obligations, if any, to manage the business and affairs of the applicable partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or other issuer (collectively, the “Partner Obligations”), unless the Agent or such other Secured Party or purchaser otherwise agrees in writing to assume any or all of such Partner Obligations. In the event of foreclosure by the Agent hereunder, then except as provided in the preceding sentence, each applicable Pledgor shall remain bound and obligated to perform its Partner Obligations and neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be deemed to have assumed any Partner Obligations. In the event the Agent, any other Secured Party or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale elects to become a
25
substitute partner or member in place of a Pledgor, the party making such election shall adopt in writing such Investment Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof; and subject to the execution of such written agreement, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents in advance to the admission of the Agent, any other Secured Party or any such purchaser as a substitute partner or member to the extent of the Pledged Equity Interests acquired pursuant to such sale, and agrees to execute any documents or instruments and take any other action as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The powers, rights and remedies conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest and privilege in such Contracts, as Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers, rights or remedies.
6.7 Waivers. Each Pledgor, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Agent, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Agent to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents) or to require the Agent to pursue any third party for any of the Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE VII
THE AGENT
7.1 The Agent; Standard of Care. The Agent will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof and the other Financing Documents. The obligations of the Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. The Agent, to the extent required under the Credit Agreement, shall act hereunder at the direction, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in the same manner as that which the Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature for its own account, and the accounting for moneys actually
26
received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to any Pledgor (i) for any loss or damage sustained by such Pledgor, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of the Agent or any other Secured Party, except to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.2 Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Agent to sign and file financing statements and amendments thereto relating to all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) without the signature of such Pledgor, and agrees to do such further acts and things (including, without limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities required to be made by account creditors in order to enforce any Accounts in such state) and to execute and deliver to the Agent such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish, confirm and maintain the security interest and Lien provided for herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and any Pledgor as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of the Pledgors any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In no event shall Pledgors at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and any Pledgor as debtor.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, the Agent or otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be in effect), from time to time in the Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the actions described in clause (vii) below which may be taken by the Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred) to take any action and to execute any instruments that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
27
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, instruments, chattel paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to such Pledgor representing any interest, income, dividend, distribution or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same;
(iii) to obtain, maintain and adjust any property or casualty insurance required to be maintained by such Pledgor and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to the Agent;
(iv) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Agent to become Secured Obligations of the Pledgors to the Agent, due and payable immediately and without demand;
(v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(vi) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at the Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, all other acts and things deemed necessary by the Agent to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of this Agreement; and
(vii) to sign the name of such Pledgor on any financing statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the Agent’s opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue to perfect the security interest granted under this Agreement;
(c) If any Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by the Agent (provided that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors under Section 8.1.
28
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Indemnity and Expenses. The Pledgors agree jointly and severally:
(a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and
(b) to pay and reimburse the Agent upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder (including, without limitation, under Article VI), under any of the other Financing Documents or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (iii) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, the termination of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement and the termination of this Agreement or any other Financing Document.
8.2 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor or any other Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
8.3 Pledgors’ Obligations Absolute. Each Pledgor agrees that its obligations hereunder, and the security interest granted to and all rights, remedies and powers of the Agent hereunder, are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of any of the following, whether or not such Pledgor has knowledge thereof:
29
(i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Secured Obligations, or any amendment, modification or supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Pledgor Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;
(ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Secured Obligations or any provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Pledgor Guaranty, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;
(iii) the addition or release of Pledgors hereunder or the taking, acceptance or release of any Secured Obligations or additional Collateral or other security therefor;
(iv) any sale, exchange, release, substitution, compromise, nonperfection or other action or inaction in respect of any Collateral or other direct or indirect security for any Secured Obligations, or any discharge, modification, settlement, compromise or other action or inaction in respect of any Secured Obligations;
(v) any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Secured Obligations or any Collateral or other security therefor, or any failure to create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such Collateral or other security;
(vi) the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Financing Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any Collateral or other security for any Secured Obligations, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure on any such Collateral or other security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable;
(vii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower, any other Pledgor or any other person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations;
(viii) any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Secured Obligations or any other obligations of the Borrower or any other person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations, regardless of what Secured Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or
30
(ix) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, the Borrower, any Pledgor or a surety or guarantor generally, other than the occurrence of all of the following: (x) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, (y) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties under the Credit Agreement and (z) the termination of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement (the events in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, collectively, the “Termination Requirements”).
8.4 Enforcement. By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Party agrees that this Agreement may be enforced only by the Agent, acting upon the instructions or with the consent of the Lenders to the extent provided for in the Credit Agreement, and that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.
8.5 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Pledgor from, any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective unless in a writing executed and delivered in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
8.6 Continuing Security Interest; Term; Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Termination and Release; Survival. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations as the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of the Termination Requirements, (ii) be binding upon and enforceable against each Pledgor and its successors and assigns (provided, however, that no Pledgor may sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Additionally, the Pledgors hereby ratify and confirm the grant of a security interest in and Lien on the Collateral contained in the Security Agreement dated as of November 29, 1999, as amended to the Effective Date (the “Original Security Agreement”) which was executed in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of November 29, 1999, of which this Credit Agreement is an amendment and restatement, which security interest shall continue in full force and effect without interruption, and the security interests granted hereunder and in the Original Security Agreement shall constitute the single grant of a security interest. Upon any sale or other disposition by any Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted hereunder or under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other applicable Financing Document, or any amendment or waiver hereunder or thereunder, the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement in and upon such Collateral shall be automatically released, upon any Pledgor ceasing to be a Guarantor pursuant to a transaction so permitted, the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement in any Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically released and upon the satisfaction of all of the Termination Requirements, this Agreement and the Lien and security interest created hereby shall terminate; and in connection with any such release or termination, the Agent, at the request and expense of the applicable Pledgor, will execute and
31
deliver to such Pledgor such documents and instruments evidencing such release or termination as such Pledgor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the possession of the Agent (or, in the case of any partial release of Collateral, such of the Collateral so being released as may be in its possession). All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Pledge Amendment or Pledgor Addendum.
8.7 Additional Pledgors. Each Pledgor recognizes that the provisions of the Credit Agreement require persons that become subsidiaries of the Borrower, and that are not already parties hereto, to execute and deliver a Pledgor Addendum, whereupon each such Person shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally a Pledgor hereunder on the date hereof, and agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of the same, or by reason of the Agent’s actions in effecting the same or in releasing any Pledgor hereunder, in each case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of such Pledgor or any other Pledgor.
8.8 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given to the parties in the manner and subject to the other notice provisions set forth in (i) in the case of the Borrower or the Agent, the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of any other Pledgor, its Pledgor Guaranty.
8.9 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
8.10 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
8.11 Construction. The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.
8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective when copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto shall be delivered to the Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page hereto.
32
8.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Pledgor hereby submits for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which such Pledgor now or hereafter has to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions and consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such person, as the case may be, as provided for in Section 8.8. The Agent may also serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Pledgor in any other jurisdiction.
8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT 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 THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
33
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.
