PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF THE REVENUE INTEREST FINANCING

Section 3.1    Payments on Account of the Revenue Interest Financing.

 

-35-


(a)      In consideration of the Investor paying the Investment Amount hereunder, the Company shall pay the Revenue Interests to the Investor Representative as follows: On each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall pay the Revenue Interests to the Investor Representative for such Quarterly Payment Date until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor Representative has received payments equal to the Hard Cap or (ii) the Legal Maturity Date. If (A) the Investor Representative has not received payments equal to the Hard Cap by the Legal Maturity Date (after giving effect to any payments made on the Legal Maturity Date) and (B) no Special Termination Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the Company shall pay the Special Maturity Payment Amount on the Legal Maturity Date. The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to make voluntary prepayments to the Investor Representative, and such payments shall be credited against the Hard Cap and the Under Performance Payments set forth in Section 3.1(b). This Agreement shall be in full force and effect until the Hard Cap and all other Obligations of the Company have been paid in full.

(b)      If the Investor Representative has not received the multiple of the Investment Amount set forth below, during the period commencing on the Initial Closing Date and ending on the reference date set forth below, the Company shall, on the immediately succeeding Quarterly Payment Date, make a cash payment to the Investor Representative sufficient to gross the Investor Representative up to such minimum amount (the “Under Performance Payments”):

 

   
Minimum Multiple    Reference Date
   
0.65x    December 31, 2022
   
1.00x    December 31, 2024

(c)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall immediately pay to the Investor Representative the Final Payment Amount and all of the other Obligations owed by the Company under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents.

(d)      If the Special Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Investor Representative may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and notify the Company of its election to terminate this Agreement. In consideration for such termination, the Company shall pay the Special Termination Amount and any other unpaid Obligations to the Investor Representative within, in the case of clause (i) of the definition of Special Termination Event, [***] ([***]) days, and, in the case of clause (ii) of the definition of Special Termination Event, [***] ([***]) days, in each case, after receipt of such notice of the election to terminate this Agreement. The remedy set forth in this Section 3.1(d) shall be the Investor’s and the Investor Representative’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Special Termination Event; provided, however, that to the extent the Special Termination Amount is not paid as aforesaid in full within such applicable period, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to make such payment shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a)(ii).

 

-36-


(e)      Once the Investor Representative has received payments equal to the Hard Cap and all of the other Obligations owed by the Company under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents, (i) the Company shall have no further obligations to the Investor Representative with respect to the Revenue Interests, and Investor Representative will not be entitled to any additional payments in respect of Revenue Interests and (ii) the Transaction Documents shall terminate. Immediately upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) or (e), (A) all Liens on the Collateral granted to the Investor Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall automatically be released, without the delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person, (B) the Company shall be permitted, and is hereby authorized to terminate any financing statement which has been filed pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and (C) the Investor and the Investor Representative shall execute and deliver to, or at the direction of, the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, all other releases and other documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence any such release.

(f)      All Revenue Interests and any other Obligations required to be paid but not paid to the Investor on each Quarterly Payment Date shall bear interest at a rate of one percent (1.0%) per month from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. In addition, in the event that an Event of Default has occurred, and for so long as it is occurring, interest shall accrue on the Final Payment Amount that remains unpaid at a rate of one percent (1.0%) per month from the date on which Company receives notice from the Investor Representative of such Event of Default until the Final Payment Amount is paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. Any such overdue payment shall, when made, be accompanied by, and credited first to, all interest so accrued.

(g)      The Company shall deposit all amounts payable by the Company to the Investor Representative under this Agreement into the Investor Account, unless otherwise instructed by the Investor Representative.

(h)      For all purposes of this Section 3.1, the amount of payments deemed received by the Investor shall (i) include any additional amounts payable to the Investor pursuant to Section 6.21(c)(3) (“Additional Amounts”) and (ii) be computed net of any applicable tax withholding (including any tax withholding in respect of any Additional Amounts), other than any withholding in respect of Excluded Taxes.

The Company shall deliver instructions to all Licensees and account debtors (the “Instruction to Payors”) with respect to any proceeds arising from sales of Selinexor by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the United States and any Other Royalty Payments relating to Selinexor (which instruction shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Representative and identify each Investor as having a right to a receive a portion of such amounts, and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Investor

 

-37-


Representative promptly following delivery to such Licensee or account debtor) to remit such proceeds and Other Royalty Payments to the Lockbox Account, to the extent the Instruction to Payors was not sent to such Licensees and account debtors on or prior to the Initial Closing Date.    To the extent any such proceeds are paid directly to the Company, the Company shall remit to the Lockbox Account all such amounts within fifteen (15) Business Days of its Knowledge of such receipt of any such funds. In addition, on or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days following the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall establish with the Depositary Bank the Collection Account and enter into a Deposit Agreement with the Depositary Bank. The Company shall cause all of the funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account to be transferred to the Collection Account on a daily basis.

(b)      With respect to any amounts that are deposited into the Collection Account on any day, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) a minimum of 7% of such amounts shall remain in the Collection Account until the Quarterly Payment Date immediately following the date of such deposit and may not be transferred to the Company Account, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 3.2(b), and (B) any remaining amounts may be disbursed to the Company Account from time to time at the direction of the Company; provided that if the aggregate of funds to be retained in the Collection Account pursuant to clause (A) exceeds $7,000,000 on any date, such amount in excess of $7,000,000 may be disbursed to the Company Account at the direction of the Company on or after such date. The Company shall provide the Depositary Bank notice no more frequently than daily of such amount to be disbursed to the Company Account pursuant to this Section 3.2(b). During the Payment Term, on each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall instruct the Depositary Bank to disburse to the Investor Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (y) the Revenue Interests for such Quarterly Payment Date. If the amount to be disbursed to the Investor Account on any Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to the preceding sentence is less than the Revenue Interests to which the Investor is entitled for the relevant Calendar Quarter, the Company shall pay the amount of such shortfall to the Investor Representative on such Quarterly Payment Date. If the amount of funds on deposit in the Collection Account on any Quarterly Payment Date exceeds the Revenue Interests for such Quarterly Payment Date, such excess amount may be transferred to the Company Account at the direction of the Company.

(c)      If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no funds in the Collection Account shall be transferred to the Company Account, and the Investor Representative shall have the right to exercise all of its rights and remedies under Article XI, including, without limitation, directing the Depositary Bank to transfer all of the funds in the Collection Account to the Investor Representative until all of the Obligations owed by the Company under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents have been paid in full.

(d)      During the Payment Term, the Company shall have no right to terminate the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account without the Investor Representative’s prior written consent; provided that, without the Investor Representative’s consent to the change of location of such accounts (provided such location is in the United States), the Company shall have the right from time to time to establish a replacement Lockbox Account or Collection Account with a replacement Depositary Bank, provided that such replacement Depositary Bank entered into a Deposit Agreement with respect to such replacement accounts effective no later

 

-38-


than the date of replacement. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to the “Lockbox Account”, “Collection Account”, “Depositary Bank” or “Deposit Agreement” shall refer to such replacement Collection Account, Depositary Bank or Deposit Agreement, as the context requires.

Section 3.3    Mode of Payment/Currency Exchange. All payments made by a Party hereunder shall be made by deposit of U.S. Dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds into the applicable account. With respect to sales outside the U.S., for the purpose of calculating Net Revenues for the purposes of determining the Revenue Interests payable under Section 3.1, Net Revenues shall be calculated, if pursuant to a License Agreement, in the currency set forth therein, or otherwise in the currency of sale, and then such amounts shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the monthly rate of exchange utilized by the Company, in accordance with GAAP, fairly applied and as employed on a consistent basis throughout the Company’s operations. Should the Company change its foreign currency translation methodology, the new methodology will be disclosed in writing to the Investor Representative prior to its implementation. For clarity, to the extent that the Company receives a payment from a Third Party in U.S. Dollars on which Revenue Interests are payable to Investor Representative under Section 3.1, the foregoing currency exchange rates shall not apply to such amount, and in particular the Company will have no obligation to re-calculate any currency conversion that was employed in connection with such Third Party payment.

Section 3.4    Included Product Payment Reports and Records Retention. On or prior to each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Investor Representative a written report of the amount of gross sales of the Included Product in each country during the applicable Calendar Quarter, an itemized calculation of Net Revenues and Other Royalty Payments on a country-by-country basis and a calculation of the amount of the Revenue Interests due under Section 3.1(a) in respect of the applicable Calendar Quarter, showing the Applicable Tiered Percentage applied thereto and a calculation of the Under Performance Payment (if any) pursuant to Section 3.1(b). For three (3) years after each sale of the Included Product made by the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Company shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall keep) complete and accurate records of such sale in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the applicable Revenue Interests paid pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include, in each contract of the Company for the distribution, marketing or selling of Selinexor entered into on or after the Initial Closing Date, obligations reasonably appropriate to ensure that the counterparty to such contract shall furnish to the Company all information necessary for the Company to comply with this Section 3.4 and calculate the Revenue Interests that are payable as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3.5    Audits.

(a)      Upon the written request of the Investor Representative, and not more than once in each Calendar Year (so long as no Special Termination Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Company shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of national prominence selected by the Investor Representative, and reasonably acceptable to the Company, to have access to and to review, during normal business hours and upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, the relevant documents and

 

-39-


records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may reasonably be necessary to verify the accuracy and timeliness of the reports and payments (including calculation and payment of any Revenue Interest) made by the Company under this Agreement. Such review may cover the records for sales or other dispositions of the Included Product, Net Revenues, Other Royalty Payments and the aggregate amount of deposits into the Lockbox Account and the Collection Account in any Calendar Year ending no earlier than the first day of the previous Calendar Year. The accounting firm shall be permitted to prepare and disclose to the Investor Representative a written report stating only whether Revenue Interests paid to the Investor Representative hereunder and the reports provided by the Company relating to such Revenue Interests required hereunder are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Termination Event, Default or Event of Default, the Investor Representative shall have the right, as often, at such times and with such prior notice, as the Investor shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, to have an independent certified public accounting firm of national prominence selected by the Investor Representative review the relevant documents and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)      If such accounting firm reasonably concludes that any Revenue Interests were owed and were not paid when due during such period pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay any late or unpaid Revenue Interests within sixty (60) days after the date the Investor Representative delivers to the Company a notice including the accounting firm’s written report and requesting such payment. If the amount of the underpayment (exclusive of interest accrued thereon pursuant to Section 3.1(a)) is greater than the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the total amount actually owed for the period audited or (ii) one million dollars ($1,000,000), then the Company shall in addition (i) reimburse the Investor Representative for all reasonable costs and fees of the accounting firm related to such audit and (ii) pay interest accrued on such amount of the underpayment at a rate of one percent (1.0%) per month from the initial due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against Revenue Interests payable for the immediately succeeding Calendar Quarter(s). The Investor Representative shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 3.5 or under any License Agreement of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Article IX and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the Company obligating such firm to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for the Investor Representative to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Investor and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Investor Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Investor Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Investor Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by the Company to the Investor in writing pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (b) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Company to the Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document, (c) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations and (d) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Company to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Indemnification Obligations”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Investor Indemnified Party (i) that results from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Investor Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Company based upon the written instructions from any Investor Indemnified Party or (iii) for any matter to the extent of, and in respect of, which any Company Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2.

Section 10.2    Indemnification by the Investor.    The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Company and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling Persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Company Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such the Company Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Investor in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by the Investor in writing pursuant hereto or thereto, (b) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document and (c) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Investor to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Investor Indemnification Obligations”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Company Indemnified Party (i) that results from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such the Company Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Investor based upon the written instructions from any Company Indemnified Party or (iii) for any matter to the extent of, and in respect of, which any Investor Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1.

Section 10.3    Procedures.    If any Third Party Claim shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim, notify the

 

-73-


indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 unless, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such omission. In the event that any Third Party Claim is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in accordance with this Section 10.3, the indemnifying party will be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein. In any such Third Party Claim, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the indemnifying party. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any Third Party Claim or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any indemnified party is or would have been a party and indemnity would have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on such indemnified party.

Section 10.4    Other Claims.    A claim by an indemnified party under this Article X for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim and in respect of which such indemnified party seeks indemnification hereunder may be made by delivering, in good faith, a written notice of demand to the indemnifying party, which notice shall contain (a) a description and the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by the indemnified party, (b) a statement that the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X for such Losses and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (c) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses. For all purposes of this Section 10.4, the Company shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to the Investor Representative on behalf of the Company Indemnified Parties, and the Investor Representative shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to the Company on behalf of the Investor Indemnified Parties. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of any such notice, the indemnifying party may deliver to the indemnified party that delivered the notice a written response in which the indemnifying party

 

-74-


(a) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; (b) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to part, but not all, of the amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; or (c) indicates that the indemnifying party disputes the entire amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party. If the indemnified party does not receive such a response from the indemnifying party within such thirty (30)-day period, then the indemnifying party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount. If the indemnifying party and the indemnified party are unable to resolve any Dispute relating to any amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the response to such notice from the indemnifying party, then the parties shall be entitled to resort to any legal remedy available to such party to resolve such Dispute that is provided for in this Agreement, subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

Section 10.5    Exclusive Remedies.    The indemnification afforded by this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by the Investor Indemnified Parties against the Company in connection with the Company Indemnification Obligations and the Company Indemnified Parties against the Investor Representative in connection with the Investor Indemnification Obligations under Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.2, as applicable, in each case other than any Company Indemnification Obligations or Investor Indemnification Obligations, as applicable, resulting from (A) the gross negligence, the bad faith or willful misconduct of the other Party or (B) acts or omissions based upon the written instructions from the other Party; provided that nothing in this Section 10.5 shall alter or affect the rights of the Investor to specific performance by the Company Parties under the Transaction Documents or the rights of the Investor to exercise remedies under the Transaction Documents after an Event of Default or other rights of creditors under the UCC or any other Applicable Law.

Section 10.6    Certain Limitations.    The indemnification afforded by this Article X shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)      With respect to indemnification by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(a), the Company’s maximum liability for any Loss suffered by an Investor Indemnified Party (other than any Loss resulting from a Third Party Claim) shall not exceed an amount (the “Company Indemnification Cap”) equal to (1) the Hard Cap and the amount of all of the other Obligations owed by the Company to the Investor hereunder (other than the indemnification amounts payable under Section 10.1(a)) as of the date of determination, minus (2) the aggregate amount of all of the payments collected or received by the Investor Representative (and any direct or indirect transferee of the Investor Representative to whom any interest in the Revenue Interests is transferred) hereunder as of such date of determination (other than (i) any payments collected or received as a reimbursement of expenses incurred by any Investor Indemnified Party (including attorney’s fees) and (ii) any indemnification payments collected or received pursuant to Section 10.1(a)), minus (3) the aggregate amount collected or received by the Investor Representative (and any direct or indirect transferee of the Investor Representative to whom any interest in the Revenue Interests is transferred) pursuant to the exercise of its rights under Section 10.1(a) (without duplication of any amounts collected or received pursuant to clause (2)) prior to such date of determination to the extent such amount was not collected or received in connection

 

-75-


with a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Loss suffered by any Investor Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

(b)      With respect to indemnification by the Investor pursuant to Section 10.2, the Investor’s maximum liability shall not exceed an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the aggregate amount of all of the payments collected or received by the Investors from the Company prior to the date of determination (excluding any amounts collected or received as a reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Investor or any indemnification amounts collected or received in connection with a Third Party Claim) over (B) the Investment Amount.

Section 12.4    Successors and Assigns.    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company shall not be entitled to assign any of its obligations and rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Investor.

-80-


hereunder to any Person set forth on Schedule 12.4 without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Investor shall give notice of any such assignment to the Company promptly after the occurrence thereof. The Company shall maintain a “register” for the recordation of the names and addresses of, and the amounts owing to, each Investor from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no assignment of any interest of any Investor shall be effective until such assignment is recorded in the register and, consistent with the foregoing, the Company shall treat any Investor recorded in the register as an Investor under this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Company shall be under no obligation to reaffirm any representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 12.4 will be void.

Section 12.5    Independent Nature of Relationship.    The relationship between the Company and the Investor is solely that of lender and borrower, and neither the Company nor the Investor has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other Party hereto or any of its Affiliates. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to constitute the Company and the Investor as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity or legal form. The Parties agree that they shall not take any inconsistent position with respect to such treatment in a filing with any Governmental Authority.

Section 12.6    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto (which are incorporated herein by reference) and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein (or in the Exhibits hereto or the other Transaction Documents) has been made or relied upon by either Party hereto.

Section 12.7    Governing Law.

(a)      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OR CHOICE OF FORUM OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(b)      Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any

 

-81-


such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

(c)      Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 12.7(b). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)      Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Each of the Parties hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by New York law.

Section 12.8    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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 THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.8.

Section 12.9    Severability.    If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties hereto shall replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with a new provision permitted by Applicable Law and having an economic effect as close as possible to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid, illegal or unenforceable only in part or degree by a court of competent jurisdiction shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 12.10    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto. Any

 

-82-


counterpart may be executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and such facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed an original.

Section 12.11    Amendments; No Waivers.    Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision hereof may be amended, supplemented, restated, waived, changed or modified except with the written consent of the Company and the Investor Representative. No failure or delay by either Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand on either Party hereto in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval hereunder shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 12.12    No Third Party Rights.    Other than the Parties, no Person will have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or terminated, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived, without the consent of any Person who is not a Party. The Company shall enforce any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties and the Investor shall enforce any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement for the benefit of the Investor Indemnified Parties.

Section 12.13    Table of Contents and Headings.    The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
