NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and of the covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:
SECTION 1. SETTLEMENT OF ESTIMATED AND FINAL ADJUSTMENT AMOUNTS.
SECTION 1.1. Estimated Adjustment Amount.
(a) In the event that the Estimated Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment
Schedule is a positive number:
(i) Holdco shall pay to Parent at the Closing an amount equal to the Estimated
Adjustment Amount, but only to the extent that Holdco and its Subsidiaries have Adequate
Cash (as hereinafter defined) therefor (the “Estimated Holdco Payment”);
(ii) if, and then to the extent that, Holdco and its Subsidiaries do not have Adequate
Cash to make such payment, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, PSP shall pay or cause to be paid
to Parent at the Closing an amount equal to 0.3463 (the “Factor”) multiplied by such
portion of the estimated Adjustment Amount not paid by Holdco (the “Estimated PSP
Payment”); and
(iii) to the extent Section 3.3 applies, Holdco will issue Holdco Notes (as defined
below) to Parent in the principal amount contemplated thereby (the “Estimated Payment
Notes”).
- 2 -
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Adequate Cash” means sufficient cash to make the payment
in question (giving effect to available proceeds from the Financing, as well as any use of cash on
hand or otherwise available to the fullest extent permitted to be so used without violation of any
applicable covenants contained in the documentation of the Financing, other applicable agreements
or applicable Law).
(b) In the event that the Estimated Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment
Schedule is a negative number, Parent shall pay to PSP at the Closing an amount equal to the
Factor multiplied by the absolute value of such Estimated Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Parent
Payment”), and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, Estimated PSP Payment
and Estimated Holdco Payment shall be zero.
SECTION 1.2. Final Adjustment Amount.
(a) In the event that Holdco or Skynet exercises its right pursuant to Section 2.7(c) of the
Asset Transfer Agreement to submit the determination of any matter(s) in dispute relating to the
Proposed Final Adjustment Schedule or any of the calculations set forth therein, such dispute
shall be so submitted for resolution to PricewaterhouseCoopers L.L.C. or, if such firm is unable
or unwilling to serve in such capacity, another independent accounting or financial dispute
resolution firm of national standing that shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent and PSP (such
firm or other accounting or financial dispute resolution firm, the “Independent Accountant”). PSP
and Holdco, on the one hand, and Parent and Skynet, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with
the Independent Accountant to facilitate its resolution of such dispute, including by providing
the information, data and work papers used by each such party (as applicable) to calculate the
Final Adjustment Amount and the amount in dispute, making its personnel and accountants available
to explain any such information, data or work papers and submitting each of their calculations of
the Final Adjustment Amount to the extent relevant to such matter(s) submitted to the Independent
Accountant. Based upon such review and other information, the Independent Accountant shall
determine the Final Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Agreement. Such determination shall
be completed as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 30 Business Days following the
submission of such dispute to the Independent Accountant and shall be explained in reasonable
detail and confirmed by the Independent Accountant in writing to PSP and Holdco, on the one hand,
and Parent and Skynet, on the other hand, and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto,
except to correct manifest clerical or mathematical errors. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 10
of the Investors Letter Agreement), the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be
paid by Holdco. The provisions of this Section 1.2(a) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to matters
referred for determination pursuant to Section 4.10(k) of the Asset Transfer Agreement.
(b) Unless the Final Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7 of the
Asset Transfer Agreement and, if applicable, this Section 1.2, is equal to the Estimated
Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Schedule, the following shall apply (it
being understood and agreed that Sections 4.10(j), 4.10(l) and 4.10(m) of the Asset Transfer
Agreement shall apply following the determination and payment of the Final Adjustment Amount as
provided below, taking such payment into account):
(i) if Skynet or Parent received more or Parent paid (or caused to be paid) less
pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof than it is ultimately entitled or required to receive or pay
in respect thereof under the Asset Transfer Agreement and Section 1.1 of this Agreement,
- 3 -
then not more than 10 Business Days after the date of such final determination, Parent
shall settle (or cause to be settled) the True-Up Amount (as hereinafter defined) as
follows: (A) first, Parent shall return to Holdco for cancellation a principal amount of
Estimated Payment Notes, if any, equal to the lesser of the True-Up Amount and the
principal amount of all Estimated Payment Notes; (B) second, Parent shall pay to PSP an
amount, not to exceed the Estimated PSP Payment, equal to any portion of the True-Up Amount
that is not settled pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A) (and any such payment
will be deemed to settle a portion of the True-Up Amount equal to the amount of such
payment divided by the Factor); (C) third, Parent shall pay Holdco, an amount, not to
exceed the Estimated Holdco Payment, equal to any portion of the True-Up Amount that is not
settled pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B); and (D) fourth, Parent
shall pay to PSP an amount equal to the Factor multiplied by any portion of the True-Up
Amount that is not settled pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (A), (B) and (C);
and
(ii) if PSP or Holdco received more or paid (or caused to be paid) less to Parent
pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof than it is ultimately entitled or required to receive or pay
in respect thereof under the Asset Transfer Agreement and Section 1.1 of this Agreement,
then not more than 10 Business Days after the date of such final determination, Holdco and
PSP shall settle (or cause to be settled) the True-Up Amount as follows: (A) first, in the
event that PSP received an Estimated Parent Payment, PSP shall pay to Parent an amount, not
to exceed the Estimated Parent Payment, equal to the True-Up Amount (and any such payment
will be deemed to settle a portion of the True-Up Amount equal to the amount of such
payment divided by the Factor); (B) second, Holdco shall pay to Parent, but only to the
extent it and its Subsidiaries have Adequate Cash therefor, any portion of the True-Up
Amount that is not settled pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A); (C) third,
subject to Section 3.3, PSP shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the Factor multiplied by
any portion of the True-Up Amount that is not settled pursuant to the immediately preceding
clauses (A) and (B) (and any such payment will be deemed to settle a portion of the True-Up
Amount equal to the amount of such payment divided by the Factor); and (D) fourth, to the
extent Section 3.3 applies, Holdco will issue Holdco Notes to Parent in the principal
amount contemplated thereby.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the “True-Up Amount” is the absolute value of the
difference between the Final Adjustment Amount, as determined pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Asset
Transfer Agreement and, if applicable, Section 1.2(a) hereof, and the Estimated Adjustment Amount.
SECTION 2. SETTLEMENT OF MAE ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT.
SECTION 2.1. MAE Adjustment Amount.
(a) In the event that Holdco or Skynet exercises its right pursuant to Section 2.8(c) of the
Asset Transfer Agreement to submit the determination of any matter(s) in dispute relating to an
MAE Adjustment Amount (if any) to an arbitrator for resolution, such dispute shall be so submitted
for resolution to a Person (selected as provided in this Section 2.1(a)) that shall be reasonably
acceptable to Parent and Skynet, on the one hand, and PSP and Holdco, on the other hand (such Person that is so selected, the “Arbitrator”). The
Arbitrator shall be selected from a list of potential arbitrators, each of whom shall have
substantial experience and expertise in the valuation of businesses,
such list to be obtained by the
- 4 -
parties hereto from the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrator’s function shall be
to resolve only such unresolved matters that are relevant to the MAE Adjustment Amount (if any) in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Asset Transfer Agreement and this Agreement. The
decision of the Arbitrator shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the parties hereto and
shall not be subject to any challenge or appeal by any such party. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section
10 of the Investors Letter Agreement), the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be paid by
Holdco.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8(a) and 2.8(b) of the Asset Transfer Agreement,
not more than 30 days after the date that the MAE Adjustment Amount (if any) is finally determined
pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Asset Transfer Agreement and, if applicable, Section 2.1(a) hereof,
Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Holdco an amount equal to such finally determined MAE
Adjustment Amount; provided, however, that Parent shall only be obligated to pay
the MAE Adjustment Amount in cash if it has or could reasonably acquire the financial resources to
do so through the use of its commercially reasonable efforts, but for the avoidance of doubt,
without any obligation to (i) sell any of its assets, (ii) incur any Lien on its direct or
indirect equity interests in SS/L or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) cause SS/L or any of its
Subsidiaries to borrow, give any security for or guarantee any Obligation.
SECTION 3. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.
SECTION 3.1. Funding Transaction Costs; Excess Funding.
(a) Immediately prior to the Telesat Closing, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, Parent and PSP
will make one or more capital contributions in cash to Holdco, if, and then only to the extent
that, Holdco and its Subsidiaries do not have Adequate Cash to (i) fund the respective obligations
of Holdco and its Subsidiaries (but excluding any obligation to pay Transaction Expenses, which
are addressed in Section 3.1(b) below) under the Transaction Documents as of the Telesat Closing,
and if the Closing shall occur simultaneous therewith, as of the Closing (including, without
limitation, Holdco’s obligation to repay the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes
or the Redemption Facility, as applicable) and (ii) redeem Telesat’s indebtedness outstanding as
of the Telesat Closing, as set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) to this Agreement (collectively,
“Transaction Obligations”); provided that Parent shall fund 65.37% and PSP shall fund
34.63% of each such contribution.
(b) Immediately prior to the Telesat Closing, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, Parent and PSP
will make one or more capital contributions in cash to Holdco if, and then only to the extent
that, Holdco and its Subsidiaries do not have Adequate Cash to pay any and all costs and expenses
(collectively, “Transaction Expenses") incurred or payable by Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries as
of the Telesat Closing, and if the Closing shall occur simultaneously therewith, as of the
Closing, in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
(including, without limitation, any and all amounts payable by Holdco pursuant to Section 10 of
the Investors Letter Agreement, Section 8.1 of the Asset Transfer Agreement, Section 10.5 of the
Asset Purchase Agreement and Section 3.2 of this Agreement); provided that Parent shall
fund 64% and PSP shall fund 36% of each such contribution. Parent and PSP further agree that
following the Telesat Closing, if the applicable covenants under the
Financing shall thereafter restrict the ability of Holdco or its Subsidiaries to make any
payment of Transaction Expenses that are payable after the Telesat Closing, then subject to
Section 3.3
- 5 -
hereof, Parent and PSP will be responsible for making such payment, provided that
Parent shall fund 64% and PSP shall fund 36% of such payment.
(c) Immediately following the Telesat Closing, if the cash equity contribution made by PSP
under the PSP Subscription Agreement, and Parent’s equity contribution, if any, under the Parent
Subscription Agreement, together with the proceeds from the Financing shall exceed the amount of
cash necessary to fund the Transaction Obligations and the Transaction Expenses, then Holdco shall
pay any such excess to Parent and PSP, with Parent being entitled to 65.37% of such excess amount,
and PSP being entitled to 34.63% of such excess amount.
SECTION 3.2. Reimbursement of Transaction Expenses. Parent, Skynet and PSP may each
submit to Holdco invoices for the reimbursement thereto of any Transaction Expenses incurred by
such party (whether incurred before or after the Telesat Closing), not paid directly by Holdco as
provided in Section 3.1(b) above. Such invoices shall be promptly paid by Holdco upon its review
and approval thereof, which approval, in any case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Holdco shall also repay as of the Telesat Closing any and all promissory notes issued
by Holdco to Parent and PSP to fund the payment by Parent and PSP of Transaction Expenses prior to
the Telesat Closing.
SECTION 3.3. PSP Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
no event shall PSP’s obligation (the “PSP Cash Obligations”) to pay the Estimated Adjustment
Amount, the Final Adjustment Amount, any portion of the True-Up Amount or any other amounts
provided in Section 3.1, when added to the aggregate purchase price paid by PSP under the PSP
Subscription Agreement as of the Telesat Closing, exceed C$595.8 million (the “PSP Cap”). In the
event that, but for the application of the immediately foregoing sentence, the PSP Cash Obligations
would exceed the PSP Cap, and as a result PSP does not make a capital contribution or other payment
under Section 3.1(a) or 3.1(b), Parent shall be relieved of the obligations it would otherwise have
to fund its proportionate share of such capital contribution or other payment under Section 3.1(a)
or 3.1(b). In the event that the PSP Cash Obligations which are relieved are obligations to pay
Parent under Section 1, Holdco shall, to the extent it does not have Adequate Cash to make payments
to Parent as provided in Section 1, in lieu of such payment issue to Parent a promissory note of
the same tenor and terms contemplated by Section 4.04 of the Consulting Agreement in principal
amount equal to the amount of such unpaid PSP Cash Obligations divided by the Factor (a “Holdco
Note”). To the extent that PSP pays any of the PSP Cash Obligations in U.S. dollars, such payments
will be translated into Canadian dollars using the Closing Date Exchange Rate (other than the
obligation set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.1(b), which shall be at an exchange rate
calculated in the same manner as the Closing Date Exchange Rate, except that the actual date of
such payment shall be substituted for the Closing Date).
SECTION 3.4. Additional Insurance Coverage.
(a) Without limiting any obligation of Parent or Skynet under the Asset Transfer Agreement to
obtain or maintain insurance coverage with respect to the Business, at the request of PSP, Skynet
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and Parent shall cause Skynet to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to, obtain, at the expense solely of PSP, such additional
insurance (“Additional Business Insurance”) with such coverage and in such amounts, with such
deductibles and against such risks and losses as PSP may request from time
to time prior to the Closing, provided that, in the event that such Additional Business
Insurance is terminated, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to PSP any premiums or other
amounts
- 6 -
actually refunded or paid to Parent or Skynet or any of their controlled Subsidiaries in
respect of such Additional Business Insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 3.4(a) shall obligate Parent or Skynet to take any action that would adversely affect its
ability to obtain insurance on its own behalf. In the event of any loss in respect of which
Parent, Skynet or any of their controlled Subsidiaries receives proceeds under the Additional
Business Insurance, Parent shall assign such proceeds, if any, or cause such proceeds, if any, to
be assigned, to PSP.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Parent has obtained at its expense
$150,000,000 of additional top-up insurance coverage (the “Additional Telstar 12 Insurance”) with
respect to Telstar 12. Upon the written request of Parent at any time from and after the Closing,
Holdco and its Subsidiaries shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, and shall cooperate with
Parent to effect the termination of, the Additional Telstar 12 Insurance, and shall pay, or cause
to be paid, to Parent any premiums or other amounts actually refunded or paid to Holdco or any of
its Subsidiaries in respect of such termination. The parties hereto hereby agree that Parent
shall have the right to direct the negotiations with the insurers regarding any such termination.
SECTION 3.5. Payment Direction. Any amounts payable by or on behalf of Holdco to any
other party hereto pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be paid to such
party at the direction and instruction of Holdco (for Holdco’s account).
SECTION 3.6. Basis Swap.
(a) PSP agrees that it shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Skynet and its
Affiliates against, 34.63% of any and all termination liability incurred under the Basis Swap.
(b) Parent shall transfer the Basis Swap (or cause, on substantially similar terms and
conditions, the Basis Swap to be transferred) to Holdco simultaneously with the transfer to Holdco
of the xxxxxx procured by Parent and PSP (or any of its respective Affiliates) with respect to
their respective Tranches.
SECTION 3.7. Tax Distributions. Each of Parent and PSP shall, and shall use their
reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates, directors (or Persons in similar
positions), officers and employees who at any time have the right (by virtue of share ownership or
otherwise) to designate any directors of Holdco to, use their reasonable best efforts to cause
their respective designees serving as directors of Holdco to cause Holdco to, subject to applicable
covenants under the Financing and applicable Law and to the discretion of Holdco’s board of
directors, and to the extent that Holdco has cash resources available to it for such purposes (as
reasonably determined by Holdco’s Board of Directors), declare and pay in respect of the Equity
Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) not less than 15 days prior to each April 15,
June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each calendar year (each such date, an “Estimated Tax
Payment Date”), cash dividends in amounts as determined herein, provided that no such dividend
shall be declared or paid in preference over any other dividend that may be declared or paid on any
shares of Holdco, including the Fixed Rate Preferred Shares (as defined in the Shareholders
Agreement). Each quarterly cash dividend shall be based on the amount reasonably estimated jointly
and in good faith by Parent and Holdco not less than 20 days prior to each Estimated Tax Payment
Date that is sufficient to enable any shareholder if such shareholder were a US shareholder of the
Company, as defined in Section 951(b) of the Code (a “US
Shareholder”), to receive an amount at least equal to the excess (if any) of (a) the product
of (i) an estimate of the amounts that would be included in gross income under Section 951 of the
- 7 -
Code by such US Shareholder for the year with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, without
taking into account any net operating losses or capital losses, as applicable, of such US
Shareholder, (ii) the highest marginal combined US federal, New York State and New York City
corporate income tax rate applicable to ordinary income in effect for such year, taking into
account the deductibility of state and local income taxes for US federal income tax purposes, and
(iii) the Proration Percentage (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Estimated Tax Payment
Date, over (b) the sum of (i) the prior distributions made in the same year under Section
5.05 of the Shareholders Agreement with respect to the shares of Holdco held by such US
Shareholder, (ii) any other amounts distributed to such US Shareholder as dividends in such year
and (iii) if such US Shareholder is treated as a corporation for US federal income tax purpose,
non-US taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries deemed paid during the year and creditable for US
federal income tax purposes by such US Shareholder. Any amount of cash dividend paid on the first
Estimated Tax Payment Date of any taxable year shall be increased or decreased on account of the
shortfall or excess of the estimated over actual amounts so included for the prior taxable year.
For the purposes of this Section 3.7, “Proration Percentage” means with respect to: (a) any April
15, 25%; (b) any June 15, 50%; (c) any September 15, 75%; and (d) any December 15, 100%. In the
event that, from and after the date hereof, PSP directly or indirectly sells, transfers, assigns or
otherwise disposes (by operation of law, merger or otherwise) its right to designate any director
of Holdco, as a condition to any such transaction and prior to or simultaneously with the
effectiveness thereof, each transferee or successor to such designation right shall have agreed in
writing to be bound by, and to assume PSP’s obligations under, the provisions of this Section 3.7
(which written agreement shall promptly be delivered by PSP or such transferee or successor to each
other party to this Agreement).
SECTION 3.8. Authorization or Issuance of Senior Shares. So long as any of PSP, Red
Isle Private Investments Inc. or any of the entities that constitute Permitted Transferees under
clauses (1) through (3) of the definition thereof contained in the Shareholders Agreement own 10%
of the Senior Preferred Shares (as defined in the PSP Subscription Agreement) then outstanding,
from and after the Telesat Closing, without the prior written consent of PSP and Parent, Holdco
shall not authorize or issue any capital shares of Holdco ranking pari passu or senior to the
Senior Preferred Shares in terms of the declaration or payment of, or any other right to receive,
dividends or other distributions from Holdco or the right to receive any distributions (including,
without limitation, return of capital) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Holdco or
other distribution of assets of Holdco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its
affairs, in each case, whether voluntary or involuntary.
SECTION 3.9. Guaranty Indemnity. Each of Holdco and Interco hereby acknowledge that
Loral and/or one or more of its Affiliates (other than Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including
without limitation Interco) (collectively, the “Loral Guarantors”) has granted or is otherwise
subject to or obligated under or in respect of one or more guarantees of certain Obligations
relating to the Business or otherwise constituting Assumed Liabilities (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the provisions of Article VII of the Asset
Transfer Agreement and notwithstanding clause (g) of the definition of Excluded Liabilities set
forth in the Asset Transfer Agreement, from and after the Closing, each of Holdco and Interco shall
jointly and severally indemnify and save harmless each Loral Guarantor from any and all losses,
claims, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities of any nature or kind whatsoever, including without
limitation, penalties and legal costs (whether or not involving a third party claim) suffered or
incurred by such Loral Guarantor from and after the Closing as a
result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the payment,
satisfaction, collection or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation.
- 8 -
SECTION 3.10. Method of Payment. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall
be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts specified in writing by
the Person entitled to such payment; payments to be made to a party hereunder shall be made to any
Subsidiary of such party, as such party shall direct.
SECTION 4. TERMINATION.
SECTION 4.1. Mutual Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written consent of parties hereto.
SECTION 4.2. Automatic Termination. In the event of any termination of the Share
Purchase Agreement, this Agreement shall simultaneously and automatically terminate without any
further act or deed on the part of any party hereto.
SECTION 4.3. Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no
further force or effect, with no liability on the part of any party hereto or its or its
Affiliates’ respective directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, agents, partners or
stockholders, with respect to this Agreement, except that nothing herein will relieve any party
hereto from liability for any breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement occurring prior to
the date of such termination.
SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS.
SECTION 5.1. Successors and Assigns. No party may transfer or assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the express written consent of the other party hereto, and
any such attempted transfer or assignment in violation of this Section 5.1 shall be null and void
ab initio; provided, however, that a party hereto may, without the prior written
consent of any other party hereto, (a) assign (in whole or in part) this Agreement and all of its
rights hereunder to its lenders and debt providers (or any administrative or collateral agent
therefor) for collateral security purposes, and (b) assign (in whole or in part) this Agreement
and its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Subsidiaries; provided,
further, that, notwithstanding any such assignment described in the immediately preceding
clauses (a) and (b), the assigning party shall remain liable to perform all of its obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 5.2. Governing Law and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement, and all matters
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
(a) its negotiation, execution, and validity, and (b) any claim or cause of action, whether in
contract, tort or otherwise (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with
this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, construed
and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
conflicts of law rules and principles thereof. Any suit, action or proceeding against any party or
any of its assets arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the federal or
state courts located in New York, New York, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over the subject matter of any
such suit, action or proceeding. Each party irrevocably waives and agrees
not to raise any objection it might now or hereafter have to any such suit, action or
proceeding in any such court including any objection that the place where such court is located is
an inconvenient forum or that there is any other suit, action or proceeding in any other place
relating
- 9 -
in whole or in part to the same subject matter. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party irrevocably consents to process being served by any
party to this Agreement in any legal proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof.
SECTION 5.3. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other
