Nothing shall limit such Xxxxx’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s or Combined Company’s, as applicable, failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Delivery Failure, this Section 6(d) shall not apply to the applicable Buyer to the extent the Combined Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Buyer with respect to such Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Note held by such Buyer.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each Note Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
39
of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Note Party in any other jurisdiction to collect on any Note Party’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Xxxxx. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company, SPAC and/or any of Guarantors (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without
40
limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company, SPAC and their respective Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, SPAC, their respective Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company, not Guarantors, nor SPAC, nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement.
(f) Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company, SPAC and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(f) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion); and provided further that the provisions of Section 10 cannot be amended or waived without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(f) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Xxxxx’s sole discretion). “Required Holders” means, on or after the Initial Closing Date, holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding
41
under all of the Notes; provided, that such majority must include the Lead Buyer. No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all holders of the Notes. From the date hereof and while any Notes are outstanding, the Company and SPAC shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company, SPAC or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Notes, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Notes in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Notes that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. Each of the Company and SPAC has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyer relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
(g) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

or to such other mailing address and/or e-mail address and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change, provided that Xxxx & Xxxx LLP shall only be provided copies of notices sent to the Lead Buyer. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s e-mail containing the time, date and recipient’s e-mail or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by e-mail or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Notes. Neither the Company nor SPAC shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, other than as a
43
result of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company and the SPAC may effectuate the Business Combination. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Section 9(l) below.
(j) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(k) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(l) Indemnification. In consideration of the Collateral Agent’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s and SPAC’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company and SPAC shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their respective stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, SPAC or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company, SPAC, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company, SPAC, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) the status of the Collateral Agent or such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any
44
action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); or (D) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, any Note Party or any Buyer under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company or SPAC may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company and SPAC, jointly and severally, shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(m) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(n) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each of the Company and SPAC recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the Buyers. Each of the Company and SPAC therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
45
(o) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and each of the Company and SPAC acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and neither the Company nor SPAC shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and each of the Company and SPAC acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and neither the Company nor SPAC shall assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Xxxxx’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company, SPAC and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company, SPAC and their respective Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was in the control of the Company and SPAC, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company, SPAC and their respective Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, SPAC, each Subsidiary (as applicable) and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, SPAC, their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
(p) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that any Note Party or SPAC makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to any Note Party, SPAC, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
46
(q) Judgment Currency
(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Note Party or SPAC in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(q) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately preceding:
(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(q)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(q)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any amount due from any Note Party or SPAC under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(iv) “Trading Day” means any day on which The New York Stock Exchange (or any successor thereto) is open for trading of securities.
10. COLLATERAL AGENT.
(a) Appointment and Authority. Each Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Funicular Funds, LP to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers, and no Note Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Buyer, and no implied covenants, functions,
47
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not assume and the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Note Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Note Parties, the Collateral Agent and each Buyer hereby agree that (i) no Buyer shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Buyers, in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Collateral Agent or any Buyer may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Buyers (but not any Buyer or Buyers its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Holders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.
(b) Rights as a Buyer. A Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Buyer as any other Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent and the term “Buyer” or “Buyers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include any Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Note Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Buyers.
(c) Exculpatory Provisions.
(i) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent:
(A) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Holders (or such other number or percentage of the Buyers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents); provided that, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(l) or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable law;
48
(C) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (A) with the consent or at the request of the Required Holders (or such other number or percentage of the Buyers as shall be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10(f) and Section 4 of the Notes) or (B) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Holders (or such other number or percentage of the Buyers as shall be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10(f) or Section 4 of the Notes) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Buyers against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Holders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, as to any matter that, pursuant to Section 9(f), can only be effectuated with the consent of all Required Holders or all Buyers, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Buyers.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 8 or elsewhere herein,
49
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent or (F) the effectiveness or sufficiency (or continued effectiveness or sufficiency) of any financing statement (including any financing statement naming the Collateral Agent as secured party) filed in respect of, or any other method of perfection in respect of, any Lien created under any Transaction Document in respect of any Collateral.
(d) Reliance by Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, e-mail or other electronic transmission, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Note Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(e) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties (as defined below). The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to its activities as the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. “Related Parties” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates.
(f) Resignation of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Buyers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Holders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Holders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Buyers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10(f)). After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 9(l) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.
50
(g) Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent and Other Buyers. Each Buyer expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Note Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges and represents to the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own decision to purchase its Note hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Buyer also acknowledges and represents to the Collateral Agent that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries.
(h) No Reliance on the Collateral Agent’s Customer Identification Programs. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither such Buyer, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Collateral Agent to carry out such Buyer’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, or any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Note Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Transaction Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required thereunder.
(i) Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
(i) The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Buyers, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Buyers, from time to time (but without any obligation) to take any action with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents that may be deemed by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Note Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Buyers for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion, or the perfection of any Lien on any portion, of the Collateral.
51
(ii) The Buyers hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (A) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (I) upon termination of the obligations to purchase Notes, if any, and payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), (II) constituting properly sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or to which the Required Holders have consented in writing or (III) otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Transaction Document, (B) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document to the holder of any Lien on such property of the type described in clause (viii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and permitted by Section 5(k) and (C) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Buyers will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10(i).
(j) Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent and each Buyer hereby appoint each other Buyer as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Buyer obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Person shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions or transfer control to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 10(a), each Buyer agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Obligations unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Holders.
(k) Right to Perform. Preserve and Protect. If any Note Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the Collateral Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Note Parties’ expense. The Collateral Agent is further authorized by each Note Party and each Buyer to make expenditures from time to time that the Collateral Agent, in its business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (i) preserve or protect the business conducted by Note Parties, the Collateral, or any portion thereof and/or (ii) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Notes and other Obligations. Each Note Party hereby agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 10(k).
52
(l) Notice of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Collateral Agent has received notice from a Buyer or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If the Collateral Agent receives such a notice, the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent any Buyer has provided the Collateral Agent with its current notice address, give prompt notice thereof to such Buyer at such notice address. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Holders; provided, however, that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Buyers
(m) Credit Bidding. Each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Holders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 thereof, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law.
