termination or expiration of the Forbearance Period, unless otherwise
indicated in writing by YA Global.
|
|
d.
|
The
Grantors acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section is
intended to be, nor shall be construed as, an agreement by YA Global to

Obligations.

otherwise hinder, delay, or impair YA Global’s efforts to realize upon any
collateral granted to YA Global, or otherwise to enforce its rights and
remedies pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The provisions of
this Paragraph shall be specifically enforceable by YA
Global.
|
|
b.
|
Mutual Waiver of Jury
Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED
BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE
AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE
LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FACTORING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED THERETO
|
5
|
c.
|
Cross
Default. The Grantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
default or Event of Default under this Agreement or under any Transaction
Document shall constitute a default or an Event of Default under each
other Transaction Document.
