the rights of any Secured Party with respect to any of the
Collateral; and
(e) to use any labels,
patents, trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial
designs, copyrights, customer lists, advertising matter or other
industrial or intellectual property rights, in advertising for the
exclusive purpose of sale and selling Inventory and other
Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts
or Negotiable Collateral of the Grantor or New
Subsidiary.
12
To the
extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies, for itself
and each New Subsidiary, all that such attorney-in-fact shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such
power-of-attorney granted pursuant to this Section 10 is coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is
terminated.
11. Secured Parties May Perform. If
the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
after advance written notice to the Grantor, any Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor.
12. Secured Parties’ Duties; Bailee
for Perfection. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties
hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’
respective interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon any Secured Party in favor of the Grantor or any other
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder and except
as provided in the Code, no Secured Party shall have any duty to
the Grantor or any other Secured Party 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 any Collateral. A
Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which such Secured Party accords its own property.
Each Secured Party agrees that, with respect to any Collateral at
any time or times in its possession and in which any other Secured
Party has a Lien, the Secured Party in possession of any such
Collateral shall be the bailee of each other Secured Party solely
for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected)
each other Secured Party’s Lien in such Collateral, provided
that no Secured Party shall be obligated to obtain or retain
possession of any such Collateral. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Secured Parties and the Grantor hereby agree
that any Secured Party that is in possession of any Collateral at
such time as the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party
have been paid in full may re-deliver such Collateral to the
Grantor or, if requested by any Secured Party prior to such
re-delivery, may deliver such Collateral (unless otherwise
restricted by applicable law or court order and subject in all
events to the receipt of an indemnification of all liabilities
arising from such delivery) to the requesting Secured Party,
without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Secured
Party in such possession.
13. Collection of Accounts, General
Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any
Secured Party may, following delivery of advance written notice to
the Grantor, (a) notify Account Debtors of the Grantor that the
Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable
Collateral have been assigned to such Secured Party or that such
Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the
Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly,
and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the
Secured Obligations.
13
14. Reserved
15. Reserved.
(a) Any Secured Party
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction
Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, any Secured
Party without any demand, advertisement, or notice of any kind
(except a notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or by
any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or
any portion of the Collateral and (i) require the Grantor to, and
the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon
request of such Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of
the Collateral as directed by such Secured Party and make it
available to such Secured Party at one or more locations of the
Grantor, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of such Secured Party’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as such
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least 10 days’ notice of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice
shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of
disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code.
No Secured Party shall be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. Any Secured Party
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which
it was so adjourned.
(b) Any cash held by
any Secured Party as Collateral and all proceeds received by any
Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied
against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section
17 hereof. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient
for the Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations (as defined
below), the Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for
any such deficiency.
(c) The Grantor hereby
acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial
transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing any Secured Party shall have the right to an
immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Each
Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver
for the properties and assets of the Grantor, and the Grantor
hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby
waives any objection it may have thereto or the right to have a
bond or other security posted by any Secured Party.
14
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Secured Party
agrees that it will not exercise any remedy provided for under this
Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
unless such Secured Party is a Permitted Secured Party (provided
that the foregoing shall not prevent any Secured Party from
commencing or participating in any Insolvency Proceeding or taking
any action (other than with respect to the Collateral) to enforce
the payment or performance of the Grantor’s obligations under
any of the Notes or other Transaction Documents). This Section
16(d) is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon the
Grantor or any other Person except Secured Parties, and no Person
(including the Grantor) other than the Secured Parties shall have
any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section
16(d). As between the Grantor and any Secured Party, any action
that such Secured Party may take under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by the
other Secured Parties.
(e) Each Secured Party
may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein,
in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it
under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or
upon the Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any
other applicable law).
17. Priority of Liens; Application of
Proceeds of Collateral. Each Secured Party hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the time or order of
the filing of any financing statement or other registration or
document with respect to the Collateral and the Security Interests,
or any provision of this Agreement, any other Security Document,
the Code or other applicable law, solely as amongst the Secured
Parties, the separate Security Interests of the Secured Parties
shall have the same rank and priority; provided, that, the
foregoing shall not apply to any Security Interest of a Secured
Party that is void or voidable as a matter of law. In furtherance
thereof, all proceeds of Collateral received by any Secured Party
shall be applied as follows:
(a) first,
ratably to pay any expenses due to any of the Secured Parties
(including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and
out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by any Secured Party to
correct any default under or enforce any provision of the
Transaction Documents, or after the occurrence of any Event of
Default in gaining possession of, maintaining, handling,
preserving, storing, shipping, selling, preparing for sale, or
advertising to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof,
irrespective of whether a sale is consummated) or indemnities then
due to any of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents,
until paid in full;
(b) second,
ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Secured
Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in
full;
(c) third,
ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Secured Obligations
then due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in
full;
15
(d) fourth,
ratably to pay the principal amount of all Secured Obligations then
due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in full;
(e) fifth,
ratably to pay any other Secured Obligations then due to any of the
Secured Parties; and
(f) sixth,
to Grantor or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable
law.
18. Remedies Cumulative. Each
right, power, and remedy of any Secured Party as provided for in
this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to
every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement
or in the other Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by any Secured Party, of any one or more
of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by such Secured Party of any or all
such other rights, powers, or remedies. The Grantor acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to each Secured Party and that the remedy at law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Grantor therefore agrees
that, in the event of any breach or any threatened breach, each
Secured Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such
threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required.
19. Marshaling. No Secured Party
shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or
other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of
them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances
of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and
remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and
other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the
extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will
not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which
might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any Secured
Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any
other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured
Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured
or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of
all such laws.
16
20. Acknowledgment.
(a) Each
Secured Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other Secured
Party has agreed to act for it as an administrative or collateral
agent, and each Secured Party is and shall remain solely
responsible for the attachment, perfection and priority of all
Liens created by this Agreement or any other Security Document in
favor of such Secured Party. No Secured Party shall have by reason
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document an agency
or fiduciary relationship with any other Secured Party. No Secured
Party (which term, as used in this sentence, shall include
reference to each Secured Party’s officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates and to the officers,
directors, employees, attorneys and agents of such Secured
Party’s affiliates) shall: (i) have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and the other Security Documents or (ii) be required to take,
initiate or conduct any enforcement action (including any
litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or
under any of the other Security Documents). Without limiting the
foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any other Secured Party as a result of such
Secured Party acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under
any of the Security Documents except as a result and to the extent
of losses caused by such Secured Party’s actual gross
negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood and
agreed by each Secured Party that the delivery by any Significant
Secured Party of one or more Veto Notices shall not be deemed to be
or construed as gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Secured Party delivering any such Veto Notice). No Secured
Party assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in
performance or breach by the Grantor or any other Secured Party of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document. No Secured Party makes to any other Secured Party
any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with
respect to any Secured Obligations, Collateral, Transaction
Document or the Grantor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to
any other Secured Party or any of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents for: (i) any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties contained in
any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other
document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents; (iii) the validity,
genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency or
existence of any Collateral, or the attachment, perfection or
priority of any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations, business,
creditworthiness or legal status of the Grantor or any Account
Debtor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to any
other Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of
any default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
the Grantor of any of its duties or agreements under any of
the Transaction Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent contained in any of the Transaction
Documents.
17
(b) Each
Secured Party hereby acknowledges and represents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party,
and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Grantor and
its own decision to enter into the Transaction Documents and to
purchase the Notes, and each Secured Party has made such
inquiries concerning the Transaction Documents, the Collateral and
the Grantor as such Secured Party feels necessary and appropriate,
and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the
case had it entered into the Transaction Documents without any
other Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby further acknowledges
and represents that the other Secured Parties have not made any
representations or warranties to it concerning the Grantor, any of
the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Each Secured
Party also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, and based upon
such financial statements, documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own
credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other
action under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. No
Secured Party shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any
other Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates
furnished to such Secured Party by the Grantor or any credit or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition,
business or assets of the Grantor (or any of its affiliates) which
may come into possession of such Secured Party.
21. Indemnity and
Expenses.
(a) Without limiting
any obligations of the Grantor under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Grantor agrees to indemnify all Secured Parties from
and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including
reasonable external attorneys’ fees) arising out of or
resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this
Agreement) or any other Transaction Document, except claims, losses
or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents and the Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations.
(b) The Grantor shall,
upon demand, pay to each Secured Party all of the reasonable costs
and out-of-pocket expenses which such Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of,
or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Secured Party
hereunder or (iii) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof.
18
22. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS
AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS,
REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES SOLELY WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No provision of this Agreement may be amended
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Grantor and
Secured Parties holding at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any amendment
to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the
provisions of this Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured
Parties, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the Secured Parties
or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Secured Party
without such Secured Party’s prior written consent (which may
be granted or withheld in such Secured Party’s sole
discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party,
provided that all of the single Significant Secured Parties (in a
writing signed by all such Significant Secured Parties) may waive
any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of
this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this
Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured Parties, provided that
no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies
to less than all the Secured Parties (unless a party gives a waiver
as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on
any Secured Party without such Secured Party’s prior written
consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Secured
Party’s sole discretion).
23. Addresses for Notices. All
notices and other communications provided for hereunder (a) shall
be given in the form and manner set forth in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and (b) shall be delivered, (i) in the case of
notice to the Grantor, by delivery of such notice to the
Grantor’s address specified in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the
Grantor in a written notice to each of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the provisions thereof, and (ii) in the case of
notice to any Secured Party, by delivery of such notice to such
Secured Party at its address specified in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by such
Secured Party in a written notice to the Grantor and each other
Secured Party in accordance with the provisions
thereof.
24. Separate, Continuing Security
Interests; Assignments under Transaction Documents. This
Agreement shall create a separate, continuing security interest in
the Collateral in favor of each Secured Party and shall (a) remain
in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full of the Secured
Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Grantor, and its permitted
successors and permitted assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by, the Secured Parties and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may, in
accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, assign
or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under the Transaction Documents to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or
otherwise. Upon Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations,
the Security Interests granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor or any other
Person entitled thereto. At such time, each Secured Party will (i)
authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to
terminate such Security Interests, (ii) return to the Grantor any
Collateral in its possession and (iii) execute and deliver such
other releases and terminations as may be reasonably requested by
the Grantor. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or
termination of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or
any other instrument or document executed and delivered by the
Grantor to any Secured Party nor any additional loans made by any
Secured Party to the Grantor, nor the taking of further security,
nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to the Grantor,
or any of them, by any Secured Party, nor any other act of the
Secured Parties, or any of them, shall release the Grantor from any
obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by
all Secured Parties. No Secured Party shall by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed
by such Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy on any
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any
such right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have
had on any other occasion.
19
25. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Jury Trial. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper; provided, however, any suit seeking
enforcement against any Collateral or other property may be
brought, at any Secured Party’s option, in the courts of any
jurisdiction where such Secured Party elects to bring such action
or where such Collateral or other property may be found. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
26. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement may
be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains
a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature
page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
signature page were an original thereof. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other
electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original
executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver
an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity,
enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing
shall apply to each other Security Document mutatis mutandis.
(b) Any provision of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that
jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
20
(c) Headings used in
this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in
connection with the interpretation of any provision
hereof.
(d) The pronouns used
herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both
singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences
shall conform thereto.
(e) The language used
in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party. For clarification
purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement.
(f) Unless the context
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document clearly
requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular,
references to the singular include the plural, the terms
“includes” and “including” are not
limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise
indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase
“and/or.” The words “hereof,”
“herein,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document refer to this Agreement or such other
Transaction Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement or such other Transaction
Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause,
schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement
unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in
any other Transaction Document to any agreement, instrument, or
document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions,
joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable
(subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements,
substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein).
“Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations” shall mean the indefeasible
payment in full in cash and discharge, or other satisfaction in
accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and
discharge, of all Secured Obligations in full. Any reference herein
to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s
permitted successors and permitted assigns. Any requirement of a
writing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall
be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record so
transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to
the accuracy and completeness of the information contained
therein.
(g) All dollar amounts
referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts
owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents
shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other
currencies shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent
amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of
calculation. “Exchange
Rate” means, in relation to any amount
of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this
Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in The Wall
Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
