Section 7.2 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Escrow Agent, Buyer and Seller, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 7.3 No Assignment or Benefit to Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
15
respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or transfer or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except, in whole or in part, (a) with respect to Seller, to a limited number of entities acting on behalf of Seller’s estate that are designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable (including in terms of the number of entities and the form and identity of each such entity) to Buyer (each a “Permitted Assignee”); provided that (i) each such Permitted Assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the obligations and liabilities of the Seller set forth in this Agreement and (ii) such assignment by Seller under this Section 7.3 shall relieve Seller of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement if, but only if, Seller provides Buyer with an indemnification agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, it being understood that the amount or nature of the remaining assets or liabilities of Seller shall not be a factor in such determination) indemnifying Buyer for any breach of the obligations and liabilities of the Permitted Assignee, in which case such assignee or transferee shall be substituted for Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, (b) with respect to Buyer, (i) to Comcast Corporation or its Affiliates under the Exchange Agreement (subject to further assignment by Comcast Corporation to its Affiliates) or (ii) to any Affiliate of Buyer; provided, that no such assignment pursuant to clause (b)(ii) or, with respect to an assignment by Comcast Corporation to its Affiliates or by Buyer to any Affiliate of Comcast Corporation, clause (b)(i) of this sentence shall relieve the assignor of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that in the case of any such assignment pursuant to clause (b) other than to Comcast Corporation, the assignee shall appoint either Buyer or Comcast Corporation as its agent under the Escrow Agreement and such agent shall be the only party entitled to take action on behalf of such assignee pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with any assignment, transfer or delegation by Buyer to Comcast Corporation or any Affiliate of Comcast Corporation as permitted above, Buyer shall be relieved of any liability or obligation so assigned, transferred or delegated to the extent Seller has the right to enforce in full against Comcast Corporation any such liability or obligation. Any assignment or transfer permitted hereunder shall be evidenced in writing signed by the assignor and assignee, a copy of which shall be delivered to the other parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Buyer, Seller, the Escrow Agent and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 7.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters among the parties hereto; it being understood that nothing herein is intended to conflict with the Purchase Agreement.
Section 7.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
16
transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
Section 7.6 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SELECTION OF FORUM; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. Each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement exclusively in (i) the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) so long as the jointly administered case of Seller and certain Affiliates as debtor and debtors in possession pending under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court (the “Reorganization Case”) remains open and (ii) after the completion of the Reorganization Case or in the event that the Bankruptcy Court determines that it does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City (together with the Bankruptcy Court, the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement. Seller hereby irrevocably designates The Corporation Trust Company as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the acceptance of service of process and making an appearance on its behalf in any such claim or proceeding and for the taking of all such acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to confer jurisdiction over it before the Chosen Courts and Seller stipulates that such consent and appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
Section 7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Section 7.8 Headings. The headings of sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience purposes only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 7.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such
17
invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.10 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the release of all funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the second sentence of Section 4.5 hereof (and, for purposes of such sentence, the remainder of Article IV hereof to the extent related thereto), Article V hereof and this Article VII shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, as to the Escrow Agent, the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.11 Instructions. For purposes of sending and receiving instructions or directions hereunder, all such instructions or directions shall be, and the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon such instructions or directions, delivered and executed by representatives of Buyer or Seller designated on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof, which such designation shall include specimen signatures of such representatives, as such Schedule I may be updated from time to time.
Section 7.12 No Set-Off. The Escrow Fund is intended for the purposes set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement. No party hereto or any of its assignees or their respective Affiliates shall have any right of set off with respect to any portion of the Escrow Fund with respect to any claims other than those claims against the Escrow Fund permitted by the Purchase Agreement.
18
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first written above.
