liquidation, dissolution or similar relief to which it may be entitled under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed; or within sixty (60) days after the appointment of, or taking possession by, any custodian, trustee, receiver or liquidator of any or of all or a substantial part of its properties or assets, without the consent or acquiescence of the Borrower, any such appointment or possession shall not have been vacated or terminated; or
(d) The Pledge and Security Agreement shall be repudiated or breached, or any event described in subsection (c) above shall occur with respect to the Pledgor; or
(e) Any representation made by or on behalf of the Borrower herein or otherwise in writing in connection with the Commitment shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which such representation
was made; or
(f) A final judgment which alone exceeds $250,000.00 in amount shall be rendered against the Borrower, and shall not be discharged or have execution thereof stayed pending appeal within thirty (30) days after entry of such judgment
or shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay; or
20
(g) The Borrower shall default under any agreement involving the extension of credit to which the Borrower is a party (if such default gives the holder of the obligation the right to accelerate the indebtedness) and such default
shall not be waived or remedied within the time permitted for the remedying of such default under the applicable document; or
(h) There occurs any adverse change in the business, assets or general financial condition of the Borrower which has or, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, could have, a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Borrower
to observe and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents,
THEN, AND IN ANY SUCH EVENT, in addition to all remedies conferred by law, the Lender shall have no further obligation to make Advances or to issue Letters of Credit under the Commitment, and the Lender shall have the option to declare the Note to be due and payable, whereupon the entire aggregate
unpaid Principal Balance under the Note, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding, and all fees, charges and other sums payable under the Loan Documents shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and upon such maturity by acceleration or otherwise, all such principal, interest, amounts, fees, charges and other sums, shall bear interest at the
rate provided in the Note to be paid following an Event of Default ; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all such amounts paid by the Borrower on account of any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit shall be repaid without interest to the Borrower if such Letter of Credit expires without having been negotiated, and if the Borrower has paid all sums required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder.
21
7.2 Right of Contest. The Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment by a third party the assertion of
which would constitute an Event of Default hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner not prejudicial to the Lender hereunder; and, upon demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall make suitable provision by payment to the Lender or by bond satisfactory to the Lender for the possibility that the contest will be unsuccessful. Such provision shall be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor and, if made by payment of funds to the Lender, the amount
so deposited shall be disbursed in accordance with the resolution of the contest either to the Borrower or the adverse claimant.
7.3 Marshalling. The Borrower hereby waives any and all rights to require any security given hereunder to be marshalled and agrees and acknowledges that
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, proceed to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents and to realize on any or all of the security for the repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Commitment or any portion or portions thereof, irrespective of the differing nature of such security and whether or not the same constitutes real or personal property.
SECTION 8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
8.1 [Intentionally Omitted]
8.2 Actions. The Lender shall have the right to commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, duties or liabilities
of the parties hereunder, or the amounts outstanding or available under the Commitment, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred hereunder. In connection therewith, the Lender may incur and pay reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender within ten (10) days after demand therefor, all such expenses, and the Lender is authorized to disburse funds from the Commitment for such purposes.
22
8.3 Timeliness; Term of Agreement; Survival of Representations and Warranties. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect until all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit have been negotiated or have expired (or other arrangements satisfactory to the Lender relative to any outstanding Letters of Credit have been made), all obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents have been observed and performed, and all obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been
terminated. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the Commitment shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any investigation at any time made by, through or on behalf of the Lender. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Lender on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Commitment shall constitute
representations and warranties hereunder.
8.4 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument
in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
8.5 Remedies Are Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies herein given to the Lender are cumulative and not alternative, are in addition to all rights,
powers and remedies afforded by statutes or rules of law and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively in any order whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender may enforce any one or more of the Loan Documents without enforcing all of them concurrently or in any particular order.
23
8.6 No Waiver. No failure, forbearance or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any power or right under any of the Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or right. No Advance made by the Lender and no Letter of Credit issued by the Lender hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions precedent to the Lender’s obligation to make further Advances, or to issue additional Letters of Credit, nor, in the event the Borrower is unable
to satisfy any such condition, shall any such waiver have the effect of precluding the Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as provided in Section 7.1 of this Agreement.
8.7 No Joint Venture. The execution of this Agreement, the making of the Commitment, the making of any Advance, the issuance of any Letter of Credit, and
the exercise of any rights hereunder, are not intended, and shall not be construed, to create a partnership or joint venture between the Lender and the Borrower.
8.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands or documents which are required or permitted to be given or served hereunder shall be in writing and personally
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail addressed as follows:
TO BORROWER at: 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
Attention:
Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx
TO LENDER at: 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000
Attention: Corporate Banking Division
24
The addresses may be changed from time to time by the addressee by serving notice as heretofore provided. Service of such notice or demand shall be deemed complete on the date of actual delivery as shown by the addressee’s registry or certification receipt or at the expiration of the second day after the date of mailing,
whichever is earlier in time.
The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to accept facsimile (“FAX”) transmissions of such notices, requests, demands and documents, provided such transmission is signed by an officer of the Borrower authorized to do so in a corporate resolution. The Borrower
shall and does hereby hold the Lender harmless from, and indemnify the Lender against, any loss, cost, expense, claim or demand which may be incurred by or asserted against the Lender by virtue of the Lender acting upon any such notices, requests, demands or documents transmitted in accordance with the above provisions. The Borrower shall confirm any such FAX transmission separately by telephone conference between the Lender and the individuals signing such FAX transmission, and shall thereafter transmit
to the Lender the actual “hard copy” of the notice, request, demand or document in question.
8.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right it may have to a jury trial in any legal proceeding
which may be hereinafter instituted by the Lender or the Borrower to assert any of their respective claims arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document contemplated thereby. In such event, the Borrower, at the request of the Lender, shall cause its attorney of record to effectuate such waiver in compliance with the Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure, as the same may be amended from time to time.
25
8.10 Compliance with OFAC Restrictions. The Lender and the Borrower are obligated to comply with the laws and regulations administered by the United
States Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC Restrictions”). In order to comply with OFAC Restrictions, the Lender may be required to temporarily suspend processing or funding of Advances under the Commitment, which may result in delayed availability of funds, or may be prohibited from closing the Commitment altogether. The Borrower agrees to the foregoing, and further agrees that if the Lender is required by applicable OFAC Restrictions to suspend processing or funding of Advances
under the Commitment, or is prohibited by applicable OFAC Restrictions from closing the Commitment, the Lender will not be liable for any damages of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, actual, consequential, special, incidental, punitive, or indirect damages, whether arising out of claims for “lender liability” or any other cause), which the Borrower may suffer or incur in connection with any such suspension of Advances, or failure to close the Commitment.
8.11 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute all of the agreements between the parties relating to the Commitment and supersede all other prior
or concurrent oral or written letters, agreements or understandings.
8.12 Assignment; Parties in Interest. The Borrower shall not assign its interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender,
which consent may be withheld by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, whether or not hereinabove so expressed and, in particular, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the holder or holders from time to time of the Note or any part thereof or interest therein.
8.13 Headings of Paragraphs. The headings of paragraphs and subparagraphs herein are inserted only for convenience and reference and shall in no way
define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Agreement.
26
8.14 Applicable Law. This Agreement is executed and delivered in and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii.
8.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument, and in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
8.16 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability
of the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will remain unaffected.
8.17 Terms and Conditions of this Agreement Supplement Other Loan Documents. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the covenants, representations
and warranties of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be deemed to supersede, amend or modify the obligations and duties of the Borrower under the other Loan Documents. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the covenants, representations and warranties of the Borrower hereunder merely supplement, and do not supplant or supersede, provisions of similar effect or subject matter in the other Loan Documents. The Loan Documents shall, however, constitute and be deemed amendments
to any inconsistent provisions of any commitment letter issued by the Lender to the Borrower in connection with the Commitment, and, upon the execution of this Agreement, any such commitment letter shall be deemed superceded by the Loan Documents and cancelled.
27
8.18 Agents. In exercising any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent
contractors; provided that the Lender shall remain responsible for the actions of its employees and agents.
8.19 Consent by the Lender. Whenever the consent of the Lender is required by the terms of this Agreement, then, except where the granting of such consent
is reserved to the Lender in its sole judgment, option or discretion, such consent shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld.
8.20 Lender’s Right of Setoff. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or if the Lender shall be served with garnishee process, whether or
not the Borrower shall be in default hereunder at the time, the Lender may, but shall not be required to, set off any indebtedness owing by the Lender to the Borrower against any indebtedness under the Loan Documents, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Lender thereunder.
