each party hereto.
Section 8.6. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered
into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall
be a third party beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action
or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents
to which it is not a party.
Section 8.7. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every
provision of this Agreement and each other of the Loan Documents.
Section 8.8. Usury Savings Clause; Severability.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend to contract in compliance with all
applicable usury laws governing any Loans made hereunder. Borrower and Lender
agree that none of the terms of this Agreement or any Note shall be construed as
a contract for, or requirement to pay interest at a rate in excess of, the
maximum interest rate allowed by any applicable usury laws. If Lender receives
sums which constitute interest that would otherwise increase the effective
interest rate on any Loan to a rate in excess of that permitted by any
applicable law, then all such sums constituting interest in excess of the
maximum lawful rate shall at Lender's option either be credited to the payment
of principal or returned to Borrower. The provisions of this paragraph control
the other provisions of this Agreement, each Note and any other agreement
between Borrower and Lender.
12
(b) In addition and without duplication, if any provision of this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
Section 8.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.
Section 8.10. CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY
UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN CALIFORNIA IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS.
Section 8.11. Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold
harmless Lender and its directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees
(collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against: (a) any and all claims,
demands, actions or causes of action (collectively, a "Claim") that are asserted
against any Indemnitee if the Claim arises out of or relates to the relationship
between Borrower and Lender under any of the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby; (b) any and all administrative or investigative
proceedings by any governmental agency or authority arising out of or related to
any claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and
(c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any
Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any of the
foregoing; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for
any loss caused by its own or its employees' or agents' gross negligence or
willful misconduct; and provided, further, that Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification for Claims asserted by stockholders of Lender in a derivative
action. Each Indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights
hereunder and in defending against any claim, demand, action, cause of action or
administrative or investigative proceeding covered by this Section; provided
that the Indemnitees as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them
with respect to any such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of
professional conduct, conflict on any significant issue between the positions of
any two or more Indemnitees. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any
Indemnitee under this Section shall be and hereby is covered and secured by the
Loan Documents and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement
and the repayment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other
obligations owed to Lender.
Section 8.12. Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without
expense to Lender, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as
Lender from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming
unto Lender of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be,
or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms
of any Loan Document.
13
Section 8.13. Conflicting Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are not
intended to supersede the provisions of the other Loan Documents but shall be
construed as supplemental thereto. However, in the event of any actual
irreconcilable conflict between the provisions hereof and any provisions of the
other Loan Documents, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement shall
control; provided that the inclusion of provisions in such other Loan Documents
which are not addressed in this Agreement shall not be deemed a conflict with
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply with respect to all Loan Documents,
whether executed and delivered by Borrower or by any third-party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed as of the day and year first written above.
