CLOSING
AND TERMS OF THE REVENUE STREAM AND NOTES
2.1.1. Purchase of the Revenue Stream. On the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1, and against the payment of an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 allocated as set forth on Schedule 2.1, the Company hereby grants, and the Revenue Participants hereby acquire the Revenue Stream. The rights of the Revenue Participants to the Revenue Stream shall be secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents, junior in priority to the rights of the Note Purchasers.
2.1.2. Payments to Revenue Participants. Following the prior payment in full of the Notes, the Company shall pay to the Revenue Participants their proportionate share, in accordance with Schedule 2.1, of the Revenue Stream; provided, that the Company shall instruct any payors to deposit Monetization Revenues, directly into the Cash Collateral Account. Except to the extent that the Collateral Agent is enjoined or stayed from distributing any such Monetization Revenues, such direct deposit in the Cash Collateral Account by payors shall constitute timely payment by the Company. Payments by the Company to the Revenue Participants shall be made monthly on the last Business Day of each month with respect to any Monetization Revenues received through such date. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the payment in full of the Notes, all Monetization Proceeds shall be applied by the Company or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to the payment of principal, interest and any applicable premiums or fees on the Notes or payments owed pursuant to Sections 9.1(ii)-(iv) or 9.2, and shall not be shared with any Revenue Participants as a payment in respect of the Revenue Stream.
2.2. The Notes.
2.2.1. Purchase and Sale of the Notes. On the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1, the Company agrees to issue and sell, and each Note Purchaser agrees to purchase, for the purchase price set forth on Schedule 2.2 and in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 2.2, Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $10,000,000.
| -2- |
2.2.2. Interest on the Notes. The unpaid principal amount of the Notes (including any PIK Interest) shall bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 9% per annum; provided that upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1.1, the interest rate shall increase by an additional 2% per annum. Interest on the Notes shall be paid on the last Business Day of each calendar month (the “Interest Payment Date”), starting with the calendar month ending October 31, 2014. Such interest shall be paid in cash except that 2.00% per annum of the interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be paid-in-kind, by increasing the principal amount of the Notes by the amount of such interest, effective as of the applicable Interest Payment Date (“PIK Interest”). PIK Interest shall be treated as principal of the Note for all purposes of interest accrual or calculation of any premium.
2.2.3. Fees.
2.2.3.1. At the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchasers a structuring fee equal to $150,000 (the “Structuring Fee”), which amount shall be netted out of the funding at the Closing Date.1
2.2.3.2. Upon the earlier of the date on which the Notes are paid in full, or become due (whether at the Maturity Date or upon acceleration), the Company shall pay to the Note Purchasers a termination fee equal to $350,000.
2.2.4.1. Payment at Maturity. The principal of the Notes and all unpaid interest thereon or other amounts owing hereunder shall be paid in full in cash on March 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”).
2.2.4.2. Optional Prepayments. The Company may prepay the Notes from time to time in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, except that any optional prepayments of the Notes prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 5.00% of the principal amount prepaid. Any such prepayment shall include accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.
2.2.4.3. Amortization. Commencing on the last Business Day of October, 2015, the Company shall make monthly amortization payments on the Notes each in a principal amount equal to Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand, Three Hundred and Thirty Four Dollars ($333,334) until the Notes are paid in full.
2.2.4.4. Mandatory Prepayments. Upon receipt of any Monetization Revenues, the Company or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall apply 85% of such Monetization Revenues to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on, and then to repay outstanding principal (at par) of, and any fees with respect to, the Notes until all amounts due with respect to the Notes have been paid in full. Payments by the Company on the Notes shall be made monthly on the last Business Day of each month with respect to Monetization Revenues received in through such date.
1 Structuring fee to be 1.5% of the original principal amount; termination fee to be 3.5% of the original principal amount.
| -3- |
2.2.4.5. Application of Payments. Payments on the Notes shall be applied in the following order, first to any then outstanding expenses or other amounts owing pursuant to Article 9; second, to accrued and unpaid interest (excluding PIK Interest); third to principal; fourth to any prepayment premium on the principal so repaid; and finally, after all principal of the Notes and any prepayment premium, has been paid in full, to the termination fee. Prepayments of the Notes (whether mandatory or optional) shall reduce amortization payments, pro rata.
2.3. Monetization Revenues. All Monetization Revenues received by the Company or deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied so that 85% of Monetization Revenues are applied to the Notes until paid in full; provided, that 100% of Monetization Revenues shall be applied to pay any past due amounts on the Notes, including in the event of acceleration of the Notes. Following payment in full of the Notes, the Applicable Percentage of the Monetization Revenues shall be paid to the Revenue Participants for application to the Revenue Stream until fully satisfied.
2.4. Purchase Price Allocation. The Company and the Purchasers agree that, for purposes of Sections 305 and 1271 through 1275 of the Code or any other jurisdiction, the aggregate purchase price of the Notes shall be $8,350,000, and the aggregate purchase price of the Revenue Stream shall be $500,000, and that such purchase prices shall be used by the Company and each Purchaser for all financial and income tax reporting purposes.2
2.5. Taxes. Any and all payments by the Company with respect to any Notes or the Revenue Stream shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings in any such case imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof, excluding taxes imposed or based on the recipient Purchaser’s overall net income, and franchise or capital taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Company shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Notes to any Purchaser, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be reasonably necessary so that after making all required deductions for taxes (including deductions for taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5) such Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall remit the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the Company shall furnish to the Purchasers the original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
2 We contemplate that a purchase price of $500,000 be allocated to the Revenue Stream, and that the balance of the $10,000,000 funding after netting out the structuring fee and $1mm OID will be allocated to the Notes. As such, the net purchase price of the Notes will total $8,350,000.
| -4- |
2.6. Manner and Time of Payment. All payments to the Note Purchasers or the Revenue Participants (or the Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be) shall be made by wire transfer or other same day funds, without set off, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day such payment is due, in accordance with the payment instructions set forth on Schedule 2.6.
2.7. Patent License. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a non-exclusive, royalty free, license (including the right to grant sublicenses) with respect to the Patents, which shall be evidenced by, and reflected in, the Patent License Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties agree that the Collateral Agent shall only use such license following an Event of Default.

6.3. Investment Intent. The Purchaser understands that the Note is a “restricted security” and has not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Note as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Note or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Note involves a significant degree of risk.
6.5. Access to Information.

The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole control of the Collateral Agent and the Company may not have withdrawal rights with respect to, or otherwise control of, the Cash Collateral Account; provided that the Collateral Agent shall make withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account promptly following the deposit of any Monetization Revenues, and will apply such Monetization Revenues to amounts due hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, and will release any excess amounts to the Company. The Company shall have access to account statements from the depositary bank concerning the Cash Collateral Account.
7.12. Further Assurances.

Each Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim that might give rise to Indemnified Liabilities setting forth a description of those elements of such claim of which such Indemnitee has knowledge; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall have the right at any time during which such claim is pending to select counsel to defend and control the defense thereof and settle any claims for which it is responsible for indemnification hereunder (provided that the Indemnitor will not settle any such claim without (i) the appropriate Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) obtaining an unconditional release of the appropriate Indemnitee from all claims arising out of or in any way relating to the circumstances involving such claim and without any admission as to culpability or fault of such Indemnitee) so long as in any such event, the Indemnitor shall have stated in a writing delivered to the Indemnitee that, as between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor is responsible to the Indemnitee with respect to such claim to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth herein; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to control the defense of any claim in the event that in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, there are one or more material defenses available to the Indemnitee which are not available to the Indemnitor; provided further, that with respect to any claim as to which the Indemnitee is controlling the defense, the Indemnitor will not be liable to any Indemnitee for any settlement of any claim pursuant to this Section 9.2 that is effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.2 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for any indirect, incidental, exemplary, special, punitive or consequential damages (including with respect to lost revenue, lost profits or savings or business interruption) of any kind or nature whatsoever suffered by the other party or any third party howsoever caused and regardless of the form or cause of action, even if such damages are foreseeable or such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The requirement that the ownership and transfer of the rights of the Purchasers under this Agreement shall be reflected in the Register is intended to ensure that the Notes qualify as an obligation issued in “registered form” as that term is used in Sections 163(f), 871(h), and 881(c) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.
| -26- |

10.11. Tax Treatment.4
10.11.1. The Company and each Revenue Participant intend that, solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes and for no other purpose, the relationship between the Revenue Participants and the Company that is created by this Agreement with respect to the Revenue Stream shall be treated as creating a partnership with respect to the Revenue Stream (the “Tax Partnership”), with the Revenue Participants and the Company being treated as partners of such partnership; it being understood for avoidance of doubt that the relationship between the Company and the Note Purchasers by this Agreement with respect to the Notes shall be a debtor-creditor relationship for all purposes, including for all federal, state and local income tax purposes.

10.11.2.2. The Company shall be deemed to contribute to the Tax Partnership the right to generate revenue through the exploitation of the Patents (the “Patent Rights”), which such right the parties agree had a fair market value of $50,000 as of the date of contribution;
10.11.2.3. The Revenue Participants shall be deemed to contribute to the Tax Partnership the purchase price for the Revenue Stream;
10.11.2.4. The Tax Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Company and the Revenue Participants in a manner that causes the capital accounts of the parties to be equal to the amounts payable pursuant to this agreement if the Tax Partnership sold the Patent Rights and any other non-cash assets for an amount equal to the book value of the Patent Rights and any other non-cash assets (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)) and distributed the proceeds and any other cash pursuant to this Agreement; it being understood that any losses attributable to Monetization Expenses shall be allocated to the Revenue Participants until the aggregate capital accounts of the Revenue Participants shall have been reduced to $50,000.

(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;

(d) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof against Grantor as debtor;
(e) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Patents in the name of Grantor as assignor or debtor;

| 7 |
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Collateral Agent’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.
6.2. No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 7. REMEDIES.
7.1. Generally.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may, without notice except as required under the UCC, exercise its rights under Section 2.7 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement and sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, provided however, that any such exercise of remedies (including any sale, assignment or disposition of Patents or any rights in any Patents) shall be subject to (1) the required grant by Purchasers and the Collateral Agent to the Grantor a perpetual non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide license (with the right to sublicense to third parties under the Existing Licenses and the sale of proprietary products and any other licenses entered into in compliance with this Agreement) to the Patents pursuant to the proviso at the end of Section 7.2 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement and (2) the Purchasers and Collateral Agent obtaining and delivering to Grantor a written acknowledgement and agreement of the applicable transferee or assignee as required pursuant to the proviso at the end of Section 7.2 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement.
| 8 |
(b) In connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement, Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent that the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, 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 sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least thirty (30) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Grantor hereby waives any claims against Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent, that Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
| 9 |
(d) Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
7.2. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b) of this Agreement shall be applied in full or in part by Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations as follows:

| 11 |
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.
Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as “Collateral Agent” hereunder by Purchasers pursuant to the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement. Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the other Documents; provided, Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement and the other Documents, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Purchasers. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this section. Collateral Agent may resign, and a successor be appointed, in accordance with the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF RIGHTS UNDER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then asserted), be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement, any Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any rights held by it under the Documents to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Purchasers herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then asserted), the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Upon any such termination, Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to Grantor or otherwise authorize the filing of such release documents as Grantor shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination, in each case, such documents to be in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent and without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Collateral Agent. Upon any Disposition of property permitted by the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the Grantor (or transferee) with no further action on the part of any Person. Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
| 12 |
SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Grantor or otherwise. If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Section 9.1 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 11. INDEMNITY
The Grantor (as “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, pay and hold the Secured Parties, and the officers, directors, partners, managers, members, employees, agents, and Affiliates of the Secured Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, costs, expenses, obligations, losses (other than lost profit), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for such Indemnitees) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened (excluding claims among Indemnitees), whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Indemnitor shall not have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to an Indemnified Liability to the extent that such Indemnified Liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and/or Affiliates. Each Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim that might give rise to Indemnified Liabilities setting forth a description of those elements of such claim of which such Indemnitee has knowledge; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall have the right at any time during which such claim is pending to select counsel to defend and control the defense thereof and settle any claims for which it is responsible for indemnification hereunder (provided that the Indemnitor will not settle any such claim without (i) the appropriate Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) obtaining an unconditional release of the appropriate Indemnitee from all claims arising out of or in any way relating to the circumstances involving such claim and without any admission as to culpability or fault of such Indemnitee) so long as in any such event, the Indemnitor shall have stated in a writing delivered to the Indemnitee that, as between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor is responsible to the Indemnitee with respect to such claim to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth herein; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to control the defense of any claim in the event that in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, there are one or more material defenses available to the Indemnitee which are not available to the Indemnitor; provided further, that with respect to any claim as to which the Indemnitee is controlling the defense, the Indemnitor will not be liable to any Indemnitee for any settlement of any claim pursuant to this Section 11 that is effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Grantor shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for any indirect, incidental, exemplary, special, punitive or consequential damages (including with respect to lost revenue, lost profits or savings or business interruption) of any kind or nature whatsoever suffered by the other party or any third party howsoever caused and regardless of the form or cause of action, even if such damages are foreseeable or such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
| 13 |
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and Grantor and their respective successors and assigns. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantor and Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. In the event of an express conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement shall control.
| 14 |
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST OR THE REMEDIES HEREUNDER IN RESPECT OF ANY COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONDUCT OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The Grantor acknowledges that Grantor has been informed by the Secured Parties that the foregoing sentence constitutes a material inducement upon which the Secured Parties have relied and will rely in entering into this Agreement. Grantor or any of the Secured Parties may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Grantors and the Secured Parties to the waiver of their rights to trial by jury.
Each party hereto (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state court or federal court sitting in New York, New York, and any court having jurisdiction over appeals of matters heard in such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof; (b) waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in any of the above-named courts, any claim that they are not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that their property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such court; and (c) consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner at the time permitted under the applicable laws of the State of New York and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.
