Credit Agreement or Forbearance Agreement,
respectively. Uncapitalized terms that are defined in the Uniform
Commercial Code (the “UCC”),
as enacted in the State of Ohio
(“Ohio

outstanding principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, and bank
fees on, the Indebtedness evidenced by (i) the Working Capital Revolving

Borrowers and Corporate Guarantors constituting a portion of the Loan
Collateral, but not including any Ownership Interests in any Borrower or
Corporate Guarantor or any subsidiaries thereof, other than the
Ownership Interests of KFT, Inc. held by Parent (collectively, the “Subject
Collateral”) have ceased,
and each of (i) Debtors, (ii) Other Guarantors and (iii) Junior Lenders now
agree that Bank may enforce its rights as a secured creditor after
default, including, without limitation, by selling all of the Subject
Collateral; provided,
however, that each Borrower

it being understood and agreed that each Borrower and Corporate Guarantor will
relinquish dominion and control over the Subject Collateral to the purchaser
thereof as the Loan Collateral is sold.

Statement
of
Agreement
In
consideration of the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Acknowledgment
of Factual Matters; Facility Status. (a) Debtors, Other
Guarantors and Junior Lenders acknowledge and confirm the truth and accuracy
of
the recitals set forth in the recital paragraphs of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the immediately
preceding sentence, Debtors, Other Guarantors and Junior Lenders acknowledge
and
confirm: (i) the existence of the Forbearance Defaults and (ii) that, by reason
of the Forbearance Defaults, Bank presently has the right to exercise the Bank
Rights. Further, Debtors, Other Guarantors and Junior Lenders
acknowledge and confirm that, on Bank’s demand, Bank can exercise any or all of
the Bank Rights and thereupon all of the Obligations will be immediately due
and
payable to Bank in full, without offset, defense, recoupment or counterclaim,
and that no Debtor or Other Guarantor has any claim or defense of any kind,
by
way of offset or otherwise, to the payment and performance of all (subject to any non-recourse
provisions
with respect to Other GuarantorsGuaranties) of the
Obligations. Debtors and each Other Guarantor (subject to any
non-recourse provisions with respect to Other Guarantors Guaranties) absolutely
and unconditionally promise to pay and perform all
Obligations.
(b)
Bank shall not have any further
obligations to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to make any further Loans or any other extensions of credit or
financial accommodations or any forbearances. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bank may, in its sole discretion, continue to honor requests for
Loans received by Bank prior to the sale of the Subject Collateral, which are
used by each Borrower exclusively for its ordinary and necessary business
expenses and for budgeted wind-up expenses (e.g.,
exclusive of any capital expenditures
or extraordinary expenses). Bank expressly reserves the right,
however, to discontinue making, without notice to Debtors, Other Guarantors
or
Junior Lenders of any kind whatsoever, any Loans or any other extensions of
credit or financial accommodations, and under no circumstances should Bank’s
acceptance of any partial payment on account of the Obligations or this
Agreement be interpreted to mean that Bank has committed to make any Loans
(or
any other extensions of credit or financial accommodations) or other
forbearances in favor of any Debtor or Other Guarantor or that Bank has waived
any Forbearance Default.
-5-
2.
Ratification
of Documents. Debtors, Other Guarantors
and Junior Lenders hereby ratify and reaffirm all terms, conditions and
obligations of the Loan Documents and acknowledge that the Loan Documents remain
in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the
immediately preceding sentence, Debtors, Other Guarantors and Junior Lenders
ratify and reaffirm any and all grants to Bank of the security interests in,
and
other Liens on, the Loan Collateral as security for the Obligations and
acknowledge and confirm that the grants of the security interests in, and other
Liens on, the Loan Collateral: (a) represent continuing security interests
in,
and other Liens on, all of the Loan Collateral, (b) secure all of the
Obligations, and (c) represent valid, first and best Liens on all of the Loan
Collateral. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Junior Lender hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms his, her or
its
Subordination Agreement dated as of Xxxxx 00, 0000, (xx) reaffirms the
subordination of his, her or its right of payment under the applicable Junior
Debt Documents (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) to the prior payment
in full of the Fifth Third Debt, and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that no
Junior Lender is released from his, her or its obligations under each respective
Subordination Agreement by reason of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated thereby.
3.
Disposition
of Subject Collateral; Warrant of Attorney to Confess Judgment; Other
Obligations.
(a)
Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor
and each Junior Lender hereby consents and authorizes Bank to commence
immediately all actions that Bank considers in its sole judgment to be necessary
or desirable to effectuate a foreclosure of the Subject
Collateral. For purposes of this Agreement, “foreclosure” means
Bank’s exercise of its rights in the Subject Collateral as collateral as a
secured party after the debtors’ default, sending notice to certain other
creditors of the debtors of Bank’s intention to sell the Subject Collateral at a
private sale pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“Private
Sale”) and selling the
Subject Collateral at such Private Sale; for the avoidance of doubt,
“foreclosure” shall not mean a judicial sale of the Subject
Collateral. Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor and each Junior Lender
hereby consents to the foreclosure and each disposition of the Subject
Collateral to be made by Bank or its agents on and after the date of this
Agreement at each Private Sale, including pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
in
the form attached hereto as Schedule
I, and Debtors, Other
Guarantors and Junior Lenders stipulate that each disposition of the Subject
Collateral at each Private Sale made by Bank and its agents on or after the
date
of this Agreement, including pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Schedule
Iis commercially
reasonable. Debtors, Other Guarantor and Junior Lenders acknowledge
and agree that Bank will have the widest possible latitude in the foreclosure
and in collecting and otherwise disposing of the Subject Collateral at Private
Sale. Each Debtor and each Other Guarantor (subject to any
non-recourse provisions with respect to Other Guarantors Guaranties)
acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for any deficiency should
the proceeds of the foreclosure, sale, collection, or other disposition
of the Subject Collateral be insufficient to fully repay to Bank the
Obligations; provided
that, if the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in the form attached as Schedule
Iare consummated and Bank
is paid the “Cash Consideration” as defined therein, Bank agrees to release (i)
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx from his obligations under the Individual Guaranty and (ii)
Other Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Other Guarantor
Guaranties, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section
2.2of the Individual
Guaranty and Other Guarantor Guaranties, respectively, and to release the second
mortgages referenced in Section
2.8of the Forbearance
Agreement. Bank is not, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
taking possession of any of the Subject Collateral, and each Borrower and each
Corporate Guarantor will continue to have dominion and control over the Subject
Collateral in its possession until the applicable Subject Collateral is
sold. Upon each sale of each portion of the Subject Collateral, each
Borrower and each Corporate Guarantor will be deemed to have irrevocably
abandoned and surrendered to the purchaser thereof all possession of, dominion
and control over, all rights to collect, and all other rights to the sold or
otherwise transferred Subject Collateral. If Bank does not hold a
Private Sale for any portion of the Subject Collateral as contemplated by this
Agreement, then Bank reserves the right to exercise immediately all of the
Bank
Rights with respect to that undisposed of Subject
Collateral.
-6-
(b)
Warrant
of Attorney. Each Debtor and each
Other
Guarantor authorizes any attorney of record to appear for it or him in any
court
of record in the State of Ohio, after maturity of the Obligations, whether
by
the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement
or
instrument evidencing or governing the terms thereof, or upon default,
acceleration or otherwise, to waive the issuance and service of process, and
release all errors, and to confess judgment against it or him in favor of Bank
for the amount of the Obligations due Bank together with interest, charges,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Stay of execution and all
exemptions are hereby waived. If this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any Obligation is referred to an attorney for collection, Debtors
and Other Guarantors shall pay to Bank or the then holder of the Obligations
its
reasonable attorneys’ fees. DEBTORS AND OTHER GUARANTORS AGREE THAT
AN ATTORNEY WHO IS COUNSEL TO BANK OR ANY OTHER HOLDER OF SUCH OBLIGATION MAY
ALSO ACT AS ATTORNEY OF RECORD FOR DEBTORS AND OTHER GUARANTORS WHEN TAKING
THE
ACTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH. DEBTORS AGREE ANY ATTORNEY TAKING
SUCH ACTIONS MAY BE PAID FOR THOSE SERVICES BY BANK OR THE HOLDER OF SUCH
OBLIGATION. DEBTORS AND OTHER GUARANTORS WAIVE ANY CONFLICT OF
INTEREST THAT MAY BE CREATED BECAUSE THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING DEBTORS AND
OTHER
GUARANTORS IS BEING PAID BY BANK OR THE HOLDER OF SUCH
OBLIGATION.
(c)
Each Debtor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Bank and any officer thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority in the place and stead of any Debtor or in its name, from time to
time
in Bank’s sole discretion, for the purpose of any or all of: (i) indorsing for
deposit any and all checks or items of payment received from any of the Persons
(“Obligors”)
who are obligated on Accounts or
General Intangibles of, or on other indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities
owed to, any Debtor; (ii) doing any and all other things necessary or
desirable for Bank to realize its Liens on, to recover the value of, and to
sell
or otherwise dispose of, the Subject Collateral; or (iii) carrying out this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Debtor agrees that Bank is authorized and empowered to deliver all cash, money
and other proceeds of the Subject Collateral received by Bank (whether into
Debtor’s deposit accounts or otherwise) to the purchaser of the Subject
Collateral after the sale of the Subject Collateral. Each Debtor hereby ratifies
all that such attorneys shall do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest,
will be irrevocable and will terminate only upon indefeasible payment in full
of
the Obligations. The powers conferred upon Bank hereunder are solely
to protect, and to allow Bank to realize, its Liens on Subject Collateral and
will not impose any duty upon Bank to exercise any such
powers. Neither Bank, nor its attorney, will be liable for any acts
or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in
exercising this power of attorney.
-7-
(d)
The Borrowers, the Corporate Guarantors and the Other Guarantors shall use
their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause all liens, claims charges
and encumbrances on the Loan Collateral to be released at or prior to the
consummation of the sale of the Loan Collateral as contemplated by this
Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Borrowers, the Corporate
Guarantors and the Other Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that certain liens
currently in place with respect to the Loan Collateral can be removed by the
filing of appropriate documentation with the necessary governmental authorities
and that the Borrowers, the Corporate Guarantors and the Other Guarantors each
covenant and agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts
to
make such filings as soon as practicable after the date hereof. The Borrowers,
the Corporate Guarantors and the Other Guarantors shall take all action
reasonably necessary in connection with the sale of the Subject Collateral
as
contemplated hereby to cause the ownership interests held by Parent in KFT,
Inc., including the certificates evidencing such ownership interests, to be
transferred to the purchaser of the Loan Collateral. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Borrowers, the Corporate Guarantors and the Other Guarantors
will
cause the certificates representing the ownership interests in KFT, Inc. held
by
Parent to be transferred to such purchaser by means of the execution of
appropriate stock powers, duly executed in blank, and if necessary shall cause
a
new certificate representing such shares to be executed and delivered upon
execution by Parent of a lost certificate affidavit in accordance with
applicable law. From the date hereof until the consummation of the sale of
the Subject Collateral as contemplated hereby, the Borrowers, the Corporate
Guarantors and the Other Guarantors shall refrain from depositing funds in
any
bank account of the Borrowers, the Corporate Guarantors or the Other Guarantors
not subject to a control agreement with Bank, except in the ordinary course
of
business and as required in connection with the customer or other relationship
to which the specific bank account relates.
4.
Waiver
of Notice and Right to Redeem. Debtors’, Other
Guarantors’, and Junior Lenders’ agreement to enter into this
Agreement is voluntary and has not been induced by coercion of any
type. Each Debtor, Other Guarantors, and Junior Lender irrevocably
waives any right to redeem all or any of the Subject Collateral under the UCC
or
any other applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, each Debtor, Other Guarantor and each Junior Lender irrevocably
waives (a) any right to further notice of any sale or otherdisposition
of the Subject Collateral
under Section 9-611 of the UCC or otherwise and (b) any right to require any
disposition of the Subject Collateral under Section 9-620(e) of the
UCC. In addition, no authorizations and consents under this Agreement
shall constitute Bank’s retention of the Subject Collateral in satisfaction of
the Obligations under Section 9-620 of the UCC and, therefore, such
authorizations and consents under this Agreement will not extinguish any
deficiency hereafter owing by any Debtor or Other Guarantor with respect to
the
Obligations.
-8-
5.
Communications
to Third Parties. To facilitate the
disposition of the Subject Collateral for the highest possible value, each
Debtor agrees that Bank and its agents, including, without limitation, its
consultants and attorneys may disclose and release to, provide copies of, or
otherwise communicate with, any prospective purchaser or transferee of the
Subject Collateral or any of Debtors’ Obligors any information in Bank’s
possession, custody or control (or within Bank’s knowledge) regarding each
Debtor, each Debtor’s assets (including, without limitation, the
Subject Collateral), each Debtor’s financial or other condition, each Debtor’s
communications with Bank, or each Debtor’s agreements, instruments, and other
documents. Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor and each Junior Lender
hereby waives any claims (including causes of action, counterclaims or defenses)
against Bank and its agents, including, without limitation, its consultants
and
attorneys relating to the discussions, releases and disclosures permitted by
this Section
5.
6.
Separate
Entities. (a) Bank is not,
and is not to be construed or deemed to be, a successor of any Debtor, it being
understood and agreed that Bank shall not and does not by virtue of this
Agreement or Debtors’ authorizations and consents under this Agreement, assume
or agree to assume any liability whatsoever of any Debtor, nor does Bank assume
or agree to assume any obligation of any Debtor under any contract, lease,
agreement, indenture or any other document to which any Debtor is a party,
by
which each Debtor is or may be bound, or which in any manner affects the Subject
Collateral, or any part thereof.
(b)
Neither Bank nor any Debtor,
Other
Guarantor or Junior Lender intend hereby to create a partnership, either general
or limited, or a joint venture, and neither this Agreement nor the manner in
which title to the Subject Collateral, or any part thereof, is held or conveyed
shall cause Bank to be partners, either general or limited, or joint venturers
with any Debtor, Other Guarantor or Junior Lender. In exercising its
rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Bank is not acting
as
the agent of any Debtor, Other Guarantor or Junior Lender and does not assume
and will not be deemed to have assumed any agency obligation toward, or
relationship of agency or trust with or for, any Debtor, Other Guarantor or
any
Junior Lender.
(c)
Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor
and each Junior Lender acknowledges and agrees that any and all indicia of
ownership of any of the Subject Collateral held at any time by Bank are held
primarily to protect a Lien of Bank on the Subject Collateral and that the
rights and authority granted to Bank hereunder are granted solely for the
purposes of mitigating defaults by Borrowers under the Loan Documents and for
preserving, or preventing the diminution of, the value of the Subject Collateral
and are granted to enable Bank to exercise those rights or remedies to which
Bank is entitled by law or under warranties, covenants,conditions,
representations or promises
contained in the Loan Documents. Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor
and each Junior Lender further acknowledges that neither the rights and
authority granted Bank herein or in the Loan Documents, nor the exercise by
Bank
of such rights or authority constitutes or shall constitute Bank “participating
in the management of any facility” as such terms are used in the federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.
§9601 et.
seq.and that nothing herein
or in the Loan
Documents confers or shall be deemed to confer upon Bank the obligation or
authority to (i) exercise decision making control over any Debtor’s or Other
Guarantor’s environmental compliance or (ii) exercise, assume or manifest
responsibility for the overall management of the business of any Debtor or
any
Other Guarantor or all or substantially all of the operational conditions of
any
Debtor’s or Other Guarantor’s business, including, without limitation,
environmental compliance. Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor and each
Junior Lender further acknowledges that the exercise of Bank’s rights and
authority granted to Bank herein and in the Loan Documents constitutes
“foreclosure” as that term is defined in 42 U.S.C. §9601(E) and that, as a
result, Bank would not be an “owner or operator” of the Subject Collateral by
operation of 42 U.S.C. §9601(E).
-9-
7.
Application
of Proceeds of Sale; Treasury Management Agreements. Upon receipt of the
proceeds of sale of the Subject Collateral, Bank shall apply such proceeds
toward the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. Each
Debtor hereby agrees that all Treasury Management Agreements remain and full
force and effect and that Bank retains all of its rights
thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank
shall be entitled, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Treasury
Management Agreements, to close any and all deposit accounts of Borrowers and
Corporate Guarantors upon notice to Borrowers and Corporate
Guarantors.
8.
Release;
Expenses.
(a)
Each Debtor, each Other Guarantor
and each Junior Lender, for itself, himself, herself and its, his and her
respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns, forever releases,
discharges and waives any and all claims, liabilities, and causes of action
that
any one or more them had, has or may in the future have against Bank or against
its officers, directors, shareholders, Affiliates, employees, agents,
consultants, and attorneys (or against the respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees or agents of Bank’s Affiliates) and all damages,
expenses, liabilities and costs in connection therewith. The
foregoing release does not release or discharge, or operate to waive performance
by, Bank of its express agreements and obligations, if any, stated in this
Agreement which arise on and after the date of this Agreement. In
entering into this Agreement, Bank admits of no such liability of any sort
to
any Debtor, Other Guarantor or Junior Lender.
(b)
Each Debtor, each Other Guarantors
and each Junior Lender further agrees that all costs, attorneys’ fees, other
fees and expenses Bank incurs in connection with any disposition or attempted
disposition of the Subject Collateral (including, without limitation, all
expenses incurred by Bank to maintain and preserve the Subject Collateral)
shall
be added to theObligations,
all such costs, fees and
expenses constituting reasonable expenditures required in connection with such
disposition.
-10-
(c)
The obligations of Bank under
this
Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of Bank. No recourse
shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect to this Agreement
or
for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement
against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or
attorney of Bank.
9.
Other
Documents. Contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Debtors shall cause the following to be delivered to
Bank: a Certificate Regarding Resolutions for each Borrower,
Corporate Guarantor and Other Guarantor in the forms acceptable to Bank,
together with the resolutions set forth therein. Each Debtor, each Other
Guarantor and each Junior Lender shall, from time to time hereafter, at the
request of Bank and without further cost or expense to Bank, prepare, execute
and deliver to Bank such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and will
take such other actions as Bank requests so as to more effectively enable Bank
to collect the Subject Collateral or as may otherwise be necessary to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon request by Bank, Debtors
shall give Bank and Bank’s designees written notice of Debtor’s good faith
projection of the Loan Obligations, the Cut-Off Time OD and the Float, in each
case as of the Closing Date and Time, as well as a report regarding whether
and
to what extent any amounts have been drawn against the Resolve Letters of Credit
since the Effective Date; provided, however, that these written notices and
reports shall be informational only and shall not be binding on any Person;
all
capitalized terms used in this sentence and not defined herein or in the Credit
Agreement shall be defined in Schedule I.
10.
Non-Waiver
of Rights or Remedies. The failure or delay
by
Bank to exercise any of its rights or remedies hereunder, under any of the
Loan
Documents, or under applicable law, shall not constitute a waiver of such rights
or remedies, nor shall a waiver of any such right or remedy on one occasion
be
deemed a continuing waiver or preclude exercise of any other rights or
remedies. All rights and remedies of Bank in this Agreement will be
cumulative, and none of these rights or remedies will be exclusive of any other
right or remedy allowed at law or in equity or in any other agreement,
instrument, or document, and all of these rights and remedies may be exercised
and enforced concurrently. Nothing in this Agreement requires Bank to
proceed with the sale of the Subject Collateral, all parties hereto agreeing
that Bank shall have the right to rescind any notices of the Private Sale and
cancel, delay or postpone the Private Sale.
11.
No
Reliance by Third Parties.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights
or remedies on any Person other than Borrowers and Bank and their permitted
heirs, executors, successors and assigns except insofar as the effect of
Sections
3(c), 5and
8.
12.
Waiver
of Trial by Jury. Each Debtor, Other
Guarantor, Junior Lender, and Bank waive trial by jury with respect to any
action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of or arising out of this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.
-11-
13.
Bankruptcy. If
any Debtor or Other
Guarantor files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy or seeks relief
or protection under any of the sections or chapters of the United States
Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”), Bank thereupon will
have the right to request any or all of: (a) immediate relief from any automatic
stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any stay or other
restriction on Bank’s rights under this Agreement, under the Loan Documents, or
under any of the Bankruptcy Court’s equitable powers, (b) a termination of the
exclusive period under Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) a dismissal
of the bankruptcy case or proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed in any way to limit or restrict any of Bank’s rights to seek in a
Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction any relief Bank
may deem appropriate in the event that a voluntary or involuntary petition
under
any title of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against any
Borrower. The properties which each Debtor and Other Guarantor has
encumbered and which are subject to the Lien of Bank include all cash, cash
equivalents, or cash collateral, as the term cash collateral is defined in
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, which accrues from such properties or is
owned by any Debtor or other Guarantor, and upon the filing of any bankruptcy
case naming any Debtor or Other Guarantor or any successor to such Debtor or
other Guarantor as a debtor, neither any Debtor, any Guarantor, nor such
successor thereto shall have any right to use any such cash, cash equivalents
or
cash collateral, except with consent of Bank or permission of the Bankruptcy
Court. Each Debtor and Other Guarantor further acknowledges and
agrees that the representations, acknowledgments, agreements and warranties
in
this Agreement have been made by each Debtor as a specifically bargained for,
material inducement to Bank to enter into this Agreement, that Bank is relying
on such representations and warranties, has changed and will continue to change
its position in reliance thereon and that Bank would not have entered into
this
Agreement without such representations, acknowledgments, agreements and
warranties. Solely for the purpose of this Section 13, “Debtor” does
not include Individual Guarantor.
14.
Complete
Agreement; Inconsistencies. This Agreement is a Loan
Document. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the entire
agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter of this
Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all previous written and oral
negotiations, understandings and agreements (exclusive of the other Loan
Documents) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. To the
extent that the provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of
the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement will control and the
Loan
Documents will be deemed to be amended hereby.
15.
Severability.
If any term of this Agreement is found
invalid under Ohio law (or laws that apply regardless of the parties’ agreement
as to which laws apply) by a court with jurisdiction, the invalid term will
be
considered excluded from this Agreement and will not invalidate the remaining
terms of this Agreement.
-12-
16.
Applicable
Law. This Agreement will
be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State
of
Ohio (without regard to Ohio conflicts of laws principles).

notification and other communication required, permitted or contemplated
hereunder must be in writing and given in accordance with the Credit
Agreement. The headings to the Sections of this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or
restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such
provisions. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be signed by
facsimile signatures, and if so signed, (a) may be relied on by each party
as if
the document were a manually signed original and (b) will be binding on each
party for all purposes. This Agreement will be binding upon and will
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors,
assigns and trustees, as the case may be except that only Bank may assign its
rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement. At no time shall
the prior or subsequent course of conduct by any party to this Agreement
directly or indirectly limit, impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the
parties’ rights or remedies in connection with this Agreement or any of the
documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith, as the
parties hereto agree that this Agreement and the documents, instruments and
agreements executed in connection herewith shall only be amended by written
instruments executed by the applicable parties hereto. Each party to this
Agreement declares
that the terms of this
Agreement have been completely read and are fully understood and voluntarily
accepted, each has had the opportunity to consult with legal
counsel.
