of
General Intangibles would be forfeited or would become void, voidable,
terminable, or revocable, or, with respect to any item of General Intangibles

would be
-5-
deemed
to
have breached, violated, or defaulted such underlying license, lease or other
agreement that governs such item of General Intangibles; (ii) any such
restriction shall be effective and enforceable under applicable law; and (iii)

to
the extent that the granting of a security interest in such proceeds is not
so
restricted, and (z) upon any such licensor, lessor or other applicable party's

Borrower covenants that:

supplements thereto, and such other documents as Collateral
-7-
Agent
reasonably may require to perfect, preserve and protect the security interests
granted herein.
(b) Collateral
In Possession of Third Parties.
To the
extent that any Collateral is in the possession of any third party, and such
Collateral has a fair market value in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate,
Borrower shall promptly notify Collateral Agent of the existence thereof and,
at
Collateral Agent’s request, Borrower shall join with Collateral Agent in
notifying such third party of Secured Party’s security interest and shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgement from such third
party that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of Secured
Party.
(c) Notice
of Changes.
Borrower shall notify Collateral Agent as follows:
(i) without
providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Collateral Agent,
Borrower will not change its name in any respect, its place of business or,
if
more than one, chief executive office, or its mailing address or organizational
identification number (if it has one);
(ii) if
Borrower does not have an organizational identification number and obtains
one
after the date of this Agreement, Borrower will forthwith notify Collateral
Agent in writing of such organizational identification number; and
(iii) Borrower
will not change its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other
legal structure without providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice
to Collateral Agent.
(d) Use
and Condition of Equipment.
Each
item of Equipment included in the Collateral will be maintained in good repair,
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and depreciation excepted,
and Borrower will provide all maintenance service and repairs necessary for
such
purpose.
(e) Insurance.
Borrower shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to the Collateral against loss or damage of the kinds and in the
amounts customarily insured against by entities of established reputation having
similar properties similarly situated and in such amounts as are customarily
carried under similar circumstances by other such Persons and otherwise as
is
prudent for Persons engaged in similar businesses but in any event sufficient
to
cover the full replacement cost thereof. Borrower shall cause each liability
insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer
issuing such policy to certify to Collateral Agent that (a) Collateral Agent
will be named as additional insured under each such liability insurance policy;
(b) if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for
any
reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify Collateral Agent and such
cancellation or change shall not be effective as to Collateral Agent for at
least thirty (30) days after receipt by Collateral Agent of such notice (ten
(10) days in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premiums), unless
the
effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy; and
(c) Collateral Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its election
to
remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30)
-8-
days
of
notice from the insurer of such default (ten (10) days in the case of
cancellation for non-payment of premiums). Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower
and Collateral Agent, the proceeds arising out of any claim in respect of any
Collateral will be applied by Borrower to the repair and/or replacement of
such
Collateral with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably
feasible. Copies of such policies or the related certificates shall be delivered
to Collateral Agent upon Collateral Agent’s reasonable request.
(f) Transfer
of Collateral.
Other
than the disposition of Inventory in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business
as presently conducted, and the disposition of obsolete, worn-out or surplus
Equipment in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business with a fair market value
not to exceed $25,000 in any calendar year, Borrower shall not sell, assign,
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Collateral without the prior
written consent of Collateral Agent and Collateral Agent does not authorize
any
such disposition. For purposes of this provision, “dispose of any Collateral”
shall include, without limitation, the creation of a security interest or other
encumbrance (whether voluntary or involuntary) on such Collateral other than
Permitted Liens.
(g) Taxes
and Assessments.
Borrower shall promptly pay when due and payable, all taxes and assessments
imposed upon the Collateral, provided
that no
such tax or assessment need be paid if being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted and if
such
reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by
generally accepted accounting principles, shall have been made therefor and,
if
the filing of a bond or other indemnity is necessary to avoid the creation
of a
Lien against any of the Collateral, such bond shall have been filed or indemnity
provided.
(h) Inventory.
Borrower shall not return any Inventory included in the Collateral to the
supplier thereof, except for damaged or unsalable Inventory or otherwise in
the
ordinary course of Borrower’s business. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in the event Borrower becomes a “debtor in possession” as defined in
11 U.S.C. §1101 (or any successor thereto), Borrower agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, not to move pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §546 (or any
successor thereto) for permission to return Inventory included in the Collateral
to any creditor which shipped such goods to Borrower without Collateral Agent’s
written consent and Borrower hereby waives any rights to return such Inventory
arising under 11 U.S.C. §546(h), or any successor section thereto. Without the
consent of Collateral Agent, Borrower shall not permit any subsidiary of
Borrower to maintain Collateral in excess of $500,000 at any time. Borrower
shall deliver to Collateral Agent, no later than 45 days after the end of each
of Borrower’s fiscal quarters, a certificate setting forth the amount of
Collateral maintained by its subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal
quarter.
(i) Defense
of Secured Party’s Rights.
Borrower warrants and will defend Secured Party’s right, title and security
interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any Person (other than
the holders of Permitted Liens with respect to such Permitted
Liens).
(j) Inspections.
Borrower will permit Collateral Agent, or its designee, upon its reasonable
request and reasonable prior notice, and at any reasonable times during
Borrower’s usual business hours, to inspect the Collateral, all records related
thereto (and to make extracts or
-9-
copies
from such records), and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is
located, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to discuss
Borrower’s affairs and finances with any Person and to verify with such Person
the amount, quality, value and condition of, or any other matter relating to,
the Collateral.
(k) Power
of Attorney.
Borrower has duly executed and delivered to Collateral Agent a power of attorney
(a “Power
of Attorney”)
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Annex
A.
The
power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until full and indefeasible payment
of
the Secured Obligations. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent under the
Power of Attorney are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent to exercise
any
such powers. Collateral Agent agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Power of Attorney, (i) except for the powers granted in clause
(e) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority
granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred
and
is continuing (and, in any event, it shall not exercise any such power or
authority until the Effective Date), and (ii) Collateral Agent shall account
for
any moneys received by Collateral Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or
disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that
Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, and Collateral
Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers. NEITHER SECURED PARTY NOR ITS AFFILIATES,
PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE TO BORROWER FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF
ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO
THEIR
OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT
OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
(l) Other
Assurances.
Borrower agrees that from time to time, at the sole expense of Borrower, it
will
promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and
take all such further action as may be necessary, or as Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Collateral Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and with respect to
any
Collateral or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation: (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including, without
limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on
Collateral, and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers
from landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent.
6. REMEDIES

any
time after the Effective Date, upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to any other
rights and remedies provided herein, under other contracts and under law, all
the rights and

remedies
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, at any time after the Effective Date, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in accordance
with applicable law, (i) at the request of Collateral Agent, Borrower shall,
at
its cost and expense, assemble the Collateral owned or used by it as directed
by
Collateral Agent at a place that is reasonably convenient to Collateral Agent
and Borrower; and (ii) Collateral Agent may (but is not obligated to), without
notice except as provided below, sell the Collateral at public or private sale,
on such terms as are commercially reasonable. Borrower agrees that ten (10)
days
prior written notice of any sale referred to in clause (ii) above shall
constitute sufficient notice. Any Secured Party may purchase Collateral at
any
such sale. Borrower shall be liable to Secured Party for any deficiency
amount.
(b) Collateral
Agent may comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of
Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Collateral Agent may
sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim
such warranties. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
Borrower will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser.
In
addition, Borrower waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial
hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights and
remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event
of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its
rights and remedies with respect thereto.
(c) For
the
purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to further exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 6 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law,
Borrower has granted to Collateral Agent a license to use, license or sublicense
any of the Licensed Assets now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower pursuant
to the Contingent License Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth therein.
(d) The
parties understand and agree that (i) the security interest granted to
Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, and (ii) the license granted
to
the Collateral Agent with respect to the Licensed Assets pursuant to the
Contingent License Agreement, will and is intended to permit Collateral Agent
and its successors and assigns, during the continuance of an Event of Default
as
provided herein, to take title to and make use of all rights to the Collateral,
and make use of all rights of Borrower to the Licensed Assets in conjunction
with the Collateral.
7. OBLIGATIONS
ABSOLUTE.
(a) Change
of Circumstance.
THE
RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER
HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY
COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, RECOUPMENT OR DEFENSE BASED UPON ANY CLAIM THAT BORROWER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY SECURED PARTY AND SHALL REMAIN IN
FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL FULL AND INDEFEASIBLE SATISFACTION OF THE SECURED
OBLIGATIONS. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations
of Borrower shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any
circumstance or condition (whether or not Borrower shall have any notice or
knowledge thereof) including, without limitation, any amendment or modification
of or
-11-
supplement
to the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document
(including, without limitation, increasing the amount or extending the maturity
of the Secured Obligations); any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or
other
action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments,
or
any exercise or failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments, or any exercise
or
failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect
of any such agreements or instruments; any invalidity or unenforceability,
in
whole or in part, of any term hereof or of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes
or
any other Transaction Document; any failure on the part of Borrower or any
other
Person for any reason to perform or comply with any term of the Purchase
Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document; any furnishing or
acceptance of any additional security or guaranty; any release of Borrower
or
any other Person or any release of any or all security or any or all guarantees
for the Secured Obligations, whether any such release is granted in connection
with a bankruptcy or otherwise; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with
respect to Borrower or any other Person or their respective properties or
creditors; the application of payments received by Secured Party from any source
that were lawfully used for some other purpose, which lawfully could have been
applied to the payment, in full or in part, of the Secured Obligations; or
any
other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time that the Notes
are
amended to increase the amount of the obligations thereunder, the amount of
the
Secured Obligations shall be accordingly increased.
(b) No
Duty To Marshal Assets.
Secured
Party shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or
any
other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured
Obligations.
(c) Waiver
of Right of Subrogation, Etc.
Borrower
hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnity
whatsoever in respect of Borrower arising out of remedies exercised by
Collateral Agent hereunder until full and indefeasible payment of the Secured
Obligations.
(d) Other
Waivers.
Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence and notice of acceptance of this
Agreement. In connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral,
to
the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives any right of redemption
or equity of redemption in the Collateral. Borrower further waives presentment
and demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations, protest and notice
of
protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor or notice of default or any other
similar notice with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, and all other
similar notices to which Borrower might otherwise be entitled, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents. Secured Party is
under no obligation to pursue any rights against third parties with respect
to
the Secured Obligations and Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to
require otherwise. Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) covenants
that it shall not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner claim
or
take the benefit of, any stay, valuation, appraisal or redemption now or at
any
time hereafter in force that, but for this waiver, might be applicable to any
sale made under any judgment, order or decree based on this Agreement; and
Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
and
relinquishes all benefit of any and all such laws and
-12-
hereby
covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
in
this Agreement delegated to Collateral Agent, but that it will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made
or
enacted.
(e) Borrower
further waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right it may have
under the constitution of the State of Delaware (or under the constitution
of
any other state in which any of the Collateral or Borrower may be located),
or
under the Constitution of the United States of America, to notice (except for
notice specifically required hereby) or to a judicial hearing prior to the
exercise of any right or remedy provided by this Agreement to Collateral Agent,
and waives its rights, if any, to set aside or invalidate any sale duly
consummated in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof on the grounds
(if such be the case) that the sale was consummated without a prior judicial
hearing.
(f) BORROWER’S
WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 7 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND
KNOWINGLY AND AFTER BORROWER HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEY
AS
TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.
8. NO
IMPLIED WAIVERS.
No
failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power
or
privilege under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and no course
of dealing between Borrower, on the one hand, and Secured Party, on the other
hand, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or
the
other Transaction Documents precludes any other or further exercise of any
such
right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement and
the
other Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights
or
remedies which Secured Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on
Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice
or
demand in similar or other circumstances or shall constitute a waiver of the
right of Secured Party to take any other or further action in any circumstances
without notice or demand. Any waiver that is given shall be effective only
if in
writing and only for the limited purposes expressly stated in the applicable
waiver.
9. STANDARD
OF CARE.
(a) In
General.
No act
or omission of Collateral Agent (or agent or employee of any thereof) shall
give
rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of Borrower or any claim
or
action against Collateral Agent (or agent or employee thereof), in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent (or agent or
employee thereof) as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court
of
competent jurisdiction. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which Collateral Agent accords to other collateral it holds (or, in the absence
of any such collateral, to its own property of such type), it being understood
that it has no duty to take any action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral
or to
preserve any rights of any parties and shall only be liable for losses which
-13-
are
a
result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) No
Duty to Preserve Rights.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent has no duty (either
before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the
Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral.
(c) No
Duty to Prepare for Sale.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent has no obligation
to
clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(d) Duties
Relative to Contracts.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall remain obligated and
liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be
observed or performed by Borrower thereunder. Collateral Agent shall not have
any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason
of or
arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Collateral Agent of any payment
relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Collateral Agent be obligated
in
any manner to perform any of the obligations of Borrower under or pursuant
to
any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency
of any payment received by Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or
as
to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract
or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to Collateral Agent or to which Collateral Agent may be entitled at
any
time or times.
(e) Reliance
on Advice of Counsel.
In
taking any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel of
Collateral Agent’s choice and shall be fully protected in acting on such advice
whether or not the advice rendered is ultimately determined to have been
accurate.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Assignment.
Collateral Agent may assign or transfer this Agreement and any or all rights
or
obligations hereunder without the consent of Borrower and without prior notice.
Borrower shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if there should be any assignment of any rights or obligations
by
operation of law or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
then all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein
or
pursuant hereto by or on behalf of Borrower shall bind the successors and
assigns of Borrower, together with the preexisting Borrower, whether or not
such
new or additional Persons execute a joinder hereto or assumption
hereof.
The
rights and privileges of Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall inure
to
the benefit of its successors and assigns.
(b) Notices.
Any
notice contemplated herein or required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be made in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement and delivered, in
the
case of Borrower and Collateral Agent, at the addresses set forth on the
signature pages to
-14-
the
Purchase Agreement, or to such other address as any party hereto may have last
specified by written notice to the other party or parties.
(c) Severability.
Every
provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for
any
reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Any invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality
or
enforceability of any such term or provision in any other
jurisdiction.
(d) Costs
and Expenses.
Without
limiting any other cost reimbursement provisions in the Transaction Documents,
upon demand, Borrower
shall
pay to
Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses incurred by
Collateral Agent hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without
limitation those that may be incurred in connection with (i) the administration
of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Collateral Agent hereunder
or
(iv) the failure of Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions
hereof.
(e) Indemnification
by Borrower.
Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless Collateral Agent and
its
affiliates, and all of their partners, members, shareholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors and any successors, assigns and
participants thereof (each, an “Indemnitee”),
from
and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits,
costs and expenses, of any kind or nature (including fees relating to the cost
of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by
or
asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or
alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses,
claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined
by a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any
other
indemnification provision in any other Transaction Document.
(f) Counterparts;
Integration.
This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the Contingent License Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a
signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery
of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(g) Amendments
and Waivers.
The
terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument
in writing duly executed by Borrower and Collateral Agent.
-15-
(h) Headings.
Headings to this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
11. SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE.
Borrower hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to demand specific performance
of
this Agreement at any time when Borrower shall have failed to comply with any
provision hereof, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any defense based
on
the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy
of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor.
12. TERMINATION.
At such
time as the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in
full, then the security provided for herein shall terminate, provided,
however, that all indemnities of Borrower contained in this Agreement shall
survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
termination of this Agreement.
13. GOVERNING
LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State
of Delaware. Each of Borrower and Collateral Agent irrevocably consents to
the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal courts and the state courts
located in the County of New Castle, Delaware, in any suit or proceeding between
the parties based on or arising under this Agreement and irrevocably agrees
that
all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such
courts. Each of Borrower and Collateral Agent irrevocably waives the defense
of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding in such
forum. Each of Borrower and Collateral Agent further agrees that service of
process upon it mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of Collateral Agent or Borrower to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. Borrower and Collateral Agent agree that
a
final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any
other lawful manner.
(b) Waiver
of Jury Trial.
EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER
TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PERSON
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT,
IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
-16-
IN
