A Responsible Officer of the Company may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice to GP. GP is entitled to rely conclusively on any Responsible Officer’s request for Loans on behalf of the Company, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the Designated Account of the Company.

 

(e) No Liability. GP shall not incur any liability to the Company as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 2(c) and (d) which GP reasonably believes in good faith to have been given by a Responsible Officer.

(a) Interest Rates; Payment. All outstanding Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made or incurred until paid in full in cash at a rate determined as follows:

 

(i) during any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and as a result thereof the Company is unable to designate borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility as LIBOR Revolving Loans (as defined therein), at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin; and

 

(ii) otherwise, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate, plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (ii), with respect to each Borrowing under this Agreement, the amount of such Borrowing shall bear interest for two (2) Business Days after the date of Borrowing at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin,

 

but in each case, at a rate not to exceed the Maximum Rate. So long as no GP Default (as defined below) has occurred, the Company shall pay to GP interest accrued on all Loans made to the Company in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter following the incurrence of such Loans by the Company.

 

(b) Default Rate. If and for so long as (i) any Company Default occurs and is continuing, or (ii) the loans outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility are bearing interest at the Senior Default Rate (and in the case of clause (i) GP in its discretion elects, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice from GP to the Company), all Aggregate Outstandings shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Company Default specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 10(a), all

 

10


 

Aggregate Outstandings (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) shall automatically bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto without any action, declaration, notice or demand by GP.

 

(c) Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by GP under applicable law for GP with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate for any Loans, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for such Loans for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate for such Loans shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder for such Loans equals the amount of interest which would have been paid on such Loans if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Aggregate Outstandings, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement for any Loans is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3(c), have been paid or accrued for such Loans if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay GP an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged for such Loans if the Maximum Rate for the Company had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued for such Loans had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued for such Loans under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that GP has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the applicable Loans, other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no applicable Loans outstanding, GP shall refund to the Company such excess.

 

4. Payments and Prepayments.

 

(a) Loans. The Company shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans made to it, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The Company may prepay, in whole or in part and without premium or penalty, Loans made to it at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b) Termination or Reduction of Facility.

 

(i) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to GP, together with payment in full of all outstanding Loans and accrued interest thereon to (and including) the date of such payment in full.

 

(ii) In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries increases (including in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the Senior ABL Facility) the Maximum Revolver Amount (whether voluntarily or upon GP’s exercise of a Demand Right pursuant to clause (iv) below, but excluding any increase of which all net proceeds are used to finance the purchase price (or related fees and expenses) of an Acquisition), and the Take-Out Conditions are satisfied with respect thereto, the Maximum Commitment of GP pursuant to this

 

11


 

Agreement shall, effective as of the date of such increase, be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the Available Take Out Amount on the date of such increase; provided, however, that such reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall not be required and shall not occur until such date as such reduction and any repayment of Loans that would be required under Section 4(b)(v) in connection therewith are permitted pursuant to Section 7.16 of the Senior ABL Facility (or the substantially similar provision in the event of any refinancing or restructuring of the Senior ABL Facility).

 

(iii) In the event that the Company or its Subsidiaries consummates a Mezzanine/Term Financing (other than any Mezzanine/Term Financing of which all net proceeds will be used to finance the purchase price (or related fees and expenses) of an Acquisition), and the Take-Out Conditions are satisfied with respect thereto, the Maximum Commitment of GP pursuant to this Agreement shall, effective as of the date of such Mezzanine/Term Financing, be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the Available Take Out Amount on the date of the consummation of such Mezzanine/Term Financing; provided, however, that such reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall not be required and shall not occur until such date as such reduction and any repayment of Loans that would be required under Section 4(b)(v) in connection therewith are permitted pursuant to Section 7.16 of the Senior ABL Facility (or the substantially similar provision in the event of any refinancing or restructuring of the Senior ABL Facility).

 

(iv) After the third anniversary of the date hereof, GP shall have two (2) rights (the “Demand Rights”) to request that the Company attempt to increase the Maximum Revolver Amount in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 (or such greater amount as GP may reasonably request). GP shall exercise its Demand Rights by giving written notice to the Company. In the event that GP exercises its Demand Right and the Take-Out Conditions are satisfied, the Company shall deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent under the Senior ABL Facility requesting that the Lenders required to approve an increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount under the Senior ABL Facility consent to such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount and use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount including, without limitation, by (A) providing all available information requested by the Administrative Agent required to evaluate and present such request to the Lenders and any potential new lenders, (B) cooperating with the Administrative Agent to actively solicit additional commitments from asset-based lending institutions (including, without limitation, the existing Lenders under the Senior ABL Facility) in connection with such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, (C) actively supporting and soliciting requisite Lender consents in connection with such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, (D) facilitating discussions between GP and the Administrative Agent concerning issues related to the solicitation of requisite Lender consents in connection with an increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount and (E) providing GP with (x) a list of existing Lenders under the Senior ABL Facility no later than 5 Business Days after GP exercises such Demand Right and (y) any additional information reasonably requested by GP in connection with such Demand Right reasonably promptly after any request therefor; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have no obligation to solicit any financing other than an increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount of the existing Senior ABL Facility on the same terms and conditions applicable thereto. In the event that the requisite Lenders under the Senior ABL Facility approve such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, or have not

 

12


 

approved such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount within forty-five (45) days, such Demand Right shall be deemed to be exhausted and the Company shall have no liability or obligation with respect to such Demand Right thereafter; provided, however, that if at any time during such forty-five day period a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, GP shall be deemed not to have exhausted one of its Demand Rights under this clause (iv).

 

(v) If the Maximum Commitment of GP is reduced by operation of this Section 4(b) to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Outstandings as of the date of such reduction, then the Company will pay, which such payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days, GP the amount by which the Aggregate Outstandings as of such date exceeds the Maximum Commitment as so reduced.

 

(c) Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(i) The Company shall repay, which payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days, Loans outstanding under this Agreement on any date to the extent that (a) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Newco ended on the most recently ended fiscal quarter of Newco for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to the Senior ABL Facility is equal to or greater than 1.25:1.00, (b) Senior ABL Availability on the date any such repayment is made and after giving effect to such repayment is equal to or greater than $125,000,000, (c) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default either immediately prior to or after giving effect to such repayment, and (d) such repayment is not otherwise prohibited under the Senior ABL Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that, in no event will the Company be required to make any repayment under this Section 4(c) in an amount that is less than $500,000 (or, if less, the Aggregate Outstandings).

 

(ii) So long as any Loans are then outstanding under this Agreement, if on any day the average, for the 30 consecutive days ending on such day, of Net Collateral on each such day, is negative (an “Undercollateralization Event”), then interest will be deemed to have accrued on all outstanding Loans at a rate equal to the otherwise applicable Interest Rate (or, if otherwise applicable, the Default Rate) plus 300 basis points (3%) per annum from the first day of such 30-day period until such excess interest rate accrual is terminated pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii). Upon any Undercollateralization Event, if the average, for the 30 consecutive days commencing on the date of such Undercollateralization Event, of Net Collateral on each such day (a) is zero or positive, then the excess interest rate accrual pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph will terminate as of the last day of such 30-day period, and notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph an Undercollateralization Event will not be deemed to have occurred prior to the 30th day following the last day of such 30-day period; or (b) is negative, then the Company shall within two (2) Business Days after the end of such 30-day period repay loans outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility in an amount equal to the amount by which the average Net Collateral for such 30-day period was negative. Upon the Company making the payment required under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, the excess interest accrual pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph will terminate as of the day of such payment, and notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph an Undercollateralization Event will not be deemed to have occurred prior to the 30th day following the day of such payment.

 

13


 

(iii) Upon any Borrowing hereunder, to the extent the condition to draw set forth in Section 9(a)(i) was not satisfied as of the date of such Borrowing and GP delivers written notice thereof to the Company within 45 days after the date of such Borrowing (provided that, if GP has made a written request for reasonable supporting documentation for the calculations in Section 9(a)(i) within 40 days after the date of such Borrowing and the Company has not provided such information within 5 days after receipt of such request, then such 45 day period shall be extended day-for-day for each day after such 5 day period that the Company has not provided such information), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such written notice from GP, repay any Loans (together with interest thereon from the date of Borrowing until the date of repayment at the otherwise applicable Interest Rate on such Loans plus two hundred basis points (2%)) that were borrowed on the date of such Borrowing that remain outstanding under this Agreement.

 

(iv) Upon any repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4(c), the Company may reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d) Payments by the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to GP at the account designated by GP and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date on which it is to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any payment received by GP after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest.

 

(e) Application of Payments. All payments shall be remitted to GP and all such payments received by GP shall be applied, first to pay interest then due and owing in respect of all Loans and second, to pay or prepay principal of the Loans.

(iv) a receiver, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian, monitor, administrator, trustee or similar officer for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Mexican Subsidiaries) or for all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall be issued against any part of the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Mexican Subsidiaries) or any distress or analogous process is levied against any part of the property of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (other than the Mexican Subsidiaries);

11. GP Defaults; Company Remedies.

 

(a) It shall constitute a default by GP (each a “GP Default”) if any one or more of the following shall occur for any reason:

 

(i) if upon provision of a Notice of Borrowing to GP by the Company, GP fails to make any or all of the proceeds of the Loans requested by the Company available to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 2(f) of this Agreement when it is otherwise required to do so pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that, solely with respect to the first two instances of any such failure, such failure shall have continued for two (2) Business Days; or

(b) If a GP Default occurs (and after giving effect to any applicable grace period in connection therewith), GP shall immediately pay over to the Company an amount equal to the Damage Amount as of the date such GP Default occurs. In the event that GP does not pay over the Damage Amount within five (5) Business Days to the Company following the occurrence of the GP Default, the Company may at its sole discretion do one or more of the following at any time or times and in any order, without notice to or demand on GP, in order to satisfy the Damage Amount:

 

(i) the Company may pursue its rights and remedies under the Company Security Agreement;

 

(ii) the Company may apply the net proceeds of any sale of the GP Collateral pursuant to the “Participation Rights” section of the Stockholders Agreement to satisfy the Damage Amount;

 

(iii) the Company may set-off any and all amounts owed by it, Newco or its Subsidiaries to GP or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the two parties against the Damage Amount; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to set-off against the Damage Amount by Newco canceling a portion of the GP Collateral held by GP equal to the amount to be set-off against; the amount of GP Collateral to be cancelled by Newco shall be determined with reference to a value that is 85% of the lesser of (A) the Original Cost of the GP Collateral or (B) the fair market value of the GP Collateral, as determined by the Newco board of directors; and

 

(iv) the Company may also exercise any other rights it may have at law or in equity.

 

(c) If a GP Default occurs (and after giving effect to any applicable grace period in connection therewith), the Company or Buyer thereafter will have the right, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to GP, to purchase the GP Collateral at 85% of the lesser of (A) the Original Cost of the GP Collateral or (B) the fair market value of the GP Collateral, as

 

21


 

determined by the Newco board of directors. The proceeds from any such purchase shall first be applied to satisfy any unpaid portion of the Damage Amount and shall thereafter be paid over to GP. If, as a result of any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to GP, GP is prohibited from selling the GP Collateral pursuant to this Section 11(c), the Company or Buyer (as applicable) will have a claim for damages in an amount equal to (A) the fair market value of the GP Collateral, as determined by the Newco board of directors, minus (B) the price at which the Company or Buyer (as applicable) would be entitled to purchase such GP Collateral pursuant to this Section 11(c). The Company or Buyer (as applicable) may satisfy such damage claim by pursuing any of the remedies available under Section 11(b).

 

(d) If a GP Default occurs (and after giving effect to any applicable grace period in connection therewith), then, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to GP, the following rights of GP shall immediately and without further action by the Company be of no further force and effect; provided that, the provisions mentioned below and the agreements in which they are contained shall otherwise continue in full force and effect and be enforceable against GP in accordance with their terms:

 

(i) the rights granted to GP pursuant to the “Voting Agreement and Proxy,” “Preemptive Rights” and “Covenants” sections of the Stockholders Agreement;

 

(ii) the Demand Rights granted to GP pursuant to Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement;

 

(iii) the rights granted to GP pursuant to the “Payments in Respect of Junior Securities” section of the Tranche A PIK Note; and

 

(iv) the rights granted to GP pursuant to an Event of Default under the PIK Notes that arise out of a change in control.

 

(e) GP and the Company agree that the provisions contained in this Section 11 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that the damages resulting from a GP Default are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and that the amounts payable pursuant to Section 11 and the other remedies contained in this Section 11 are reasonable forecasts of the actual damages which may be incurred by the Company in the event of a GP Default. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11 and the other remedies contained in this Section 11 constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and the remedies contained in this Section 11 shall be the sole remedy of the Company in the event of a GP Default.

 

(f) The remedies set forth in this Section 11 are cumulative, may be exercised singly or in any combination and may be exercised in any order by the Company, at any time or times, and without notice to or demand of GP, each of which is expressly waived by GP. In addition, GP expressly waives any right of recoupment hereunder.

 

(g) All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or in the enforcement thereof, shall be paid by GP.

12. Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Loans (including all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest) shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all Loans are indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash, the Company shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder or under the GP Security Documents, and GP shall retain all of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

13. Guarantees. Each Guarantor party hereto unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor party hereto, the due and punctual payment of principal and interest on the Loans and the other Secured Obligations, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice or prepayment or otherwise. Each Guarantor party hereto further agrees that the Secured Obligations may be extended and renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Secured Obligations.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor party hereto waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any of the Company or any other person of any of the Secured Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of a Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of GP to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any guarantee or any other agreement; (c) the release of any security held by GP for the Secured Obligations; or (d) the failure of GP to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Secured Obligations.

 

Each Guarantor party hereto further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by GP to any security (if any) held for payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of GP to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent

 

23


 

vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

 

Each Guarantor party hereto further agrees that its guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal or of interest on any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by GP upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

 

Each Guarantor party hereto hereby subordinates to the Secured Obligations all rights of subrogation against the Company and its property and all rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Company and its property, in each case in connection with this guarantee and any payments made hereunder, and regardless of whether such rights arise by operation of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise.

 

The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this paragraph shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until such time as the Aggregate Outstandings have been paid in full, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this paragraph against any other Guarantor until the Aggregate Outstandings have been paid in full. For purposes of this paragraph, (a) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Secured Obligations; (b) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Secured Obligations by such Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Secured Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder) of the Guarantors; provided, however, that, for purpose of calculating the Pro Rata Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Secured Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; and (c) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder) of the Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment;

 

24


 

provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment

 

14. General Provisions.

 

(a) Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of GP and the Company.

 

(b) Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

 

(c) No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by either GP or the Company to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among them, or delay by either GP or the Company in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by either GP or the Company will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by either GP or the Company on any occasion shall affect or diminish their rights thereafter to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 11(e), GP’s and the Company’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which either of them may have.

 

(d) Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process.

 

(i) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(ii) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.

 

(iii) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
