As used in this paragraph, “Other Purchased Accounts” means, with respect to each Purchaser, the accounts and other rights to payment purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to its Purchase Documents that have been repaid by the account debtor or obligor thereon or repurchased by a Peregrine Party and, as a result of such repayment or repurchase, no amounts are owed to such Purchaser in respect thereof.

For their part, each Purchaser hereby agrees that, it will not require Peregrine or any other Peregrine Party to repurchase any of such Purchaser’s Purchased Accounts or otherwise seek to enforce any rights or remedies under any of such Purchaser’s Purchase Documents based upon any default in respect thereof in existence as of the date hereof or based upon any fact or condition in existence as of the date hereof (whether or not the same constitutes or gives rise to a default of a recurring nature) except as set forth on Schedule J (attached hereto and incorporated by this reference).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Release Agreement, to the extent mutually agreed upon prior to the Effective Date by Fleet and the Peregrine Party(ies) from whom the Fleet Retained Accounts were purchased, the security interests and other interests of Fleet in and to each Fleet Retained Account shall continue in full force and effect. Such agreement may also address Fleet’s ongoing enforcement of certain rights or remedies in respect of the Fleet Retained Account. Unless and until Fleet and the applicable Peregrine Party(ies) shall have entered into such an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them, dealing with matters relating to such enforcement, however, Fleet shall have no obligation to exercise or pursue any enforcement rights or remedies with respect to any Fleet Retained Account. Neither Fleet nor any Peregrine Party shall have any obligation to enter into any such agreement and each of them expressly reserves the right not to enter into any such agreement except at its sole discretion.

9. Revival Clause.

To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Purchase Documents and those of this Agreement or any Release Agreement, this Agreement and the Release Agreement shall govern and control, but except to such extent, the terms and provisions of the Purchase Documents shall be unchanged and remain in full force and effect.

 

16. Execution In Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party hereto delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart, but the failure to so deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not effect the validity, enforceability or binding effect hereof.

 

17. Contradictory Tcrms/Severability. In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement contradicts any term or provision of any other document, instrument or agreement between the parties including, but not limited to, any of the Purchase Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from all other provisions of this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be adversely affected or impaired, and shall thereby remain in full force and effect.

 

18. Headings. All headings contained herein are for convenience purposes only, and shall not be considered when interpreting this Agreement.

19. Further Assurances. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in carrying out the terms and intent of this Agreement, and shall execute such other documents, instruments and agreements as are reasonably required to effectuate the terms and intent of this Agreement (the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers and/or Purchaser Agent in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the termination of any liens or security interests) to be reimbursed by Peregrine and Remedy, jointly and severally). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Peregrine Party shall cooperate with the Purchasers in the collection of the accounts and other rights to payment purchased by the Purchasers from any Peregrine Party, which cooperation shall include, but not be limited to contacting the account debtors or other Persons obligated on such accounts or other rights to payment and directing that payment be made directly to the applicable Purchaser, providing the Purchasers with information and copies of documents relating to such accounts and rights to payment, giving the Purchasers access to the Peregrine Parties’ personnel, books and records, and otherwise consulting with and assisting the Purchasers in the collection of such accounts and rights to payment.

 

20. Course of Dealing: Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of the Purchasers, or their respective officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right(s) by the Purchasers, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right(s) shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right(s). The Purchasers’ failure at any time to require strict performance by the Peregrine Parties of any provision shall not affect any right(s) of the Purchasers thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right(s) must be in writing signed by the Purchasers.

 

21. Consultation with Counsel. Each party hereto acknowledges that it is freely and voluntarily entering into this Agreement. Moreover, each party hereto also acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice at each stage in the negotiation of this Agreement, or has knowingly and voluntarily elected not to be represented by counsel at each stage in the negotiation of this Agreement. To the extent any party was represented by counsel, said party acknowledges that: (A) it has relied on such counsel’s advice throughout all of the negotiations which preceded the execution of this Agreement, and in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement; (B) such counsel has read and approved this Agreement; and (C) such counsel has advised such party concerning the validity and effectiveness of this Agreement, and the transactions to be consummated in accordance therewith.

 

22. Limitation of Liability of Certain Peregrine Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed to impose upon any Peregrine Party that was not originally a party to any Purchase Document any liability or obligation under or in connection with any Purchase Document, it being the Parties’ express intent that following the Effective Date, the only Parties’ obligated under the Purchase Documents shall be those Parties who were parties thereto prior to the execution and delivery of the Forbearance Agreement and Forbearance Documents.

 

23. Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction: Waiver of Jury Trial. Until substantial consummation (as defined in 11 U.S.C. sec. 1101(2)) of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve and determine all disputes and other matters arising in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement (collectively, “Disputed Matters”) and each Party hereby

 

13



 

expressly consents and submits to such jurisdiction. Following such substantial consummation of the Plan, jurisdiction shall be non-exclusive and shall lie in such state or federal court(s) as may properly assert jurisdiction over the Disputed Matter in question. THE PARTIES HERETO, AND EACH OF THEM, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE PURCHASE DOCUMENTS, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR HEREBY.
