member interests or other ownership interest (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral and the Hedge Counterparty shall, upon the written request of such Pledgor, promptly deliver (at the Grantors joint and several expense) such proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by such Pledgor which are necessary to allow such Pledgor to exercise voting power with respect to any such share of capital stock, member interests or other ownership interests (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action taken by any Pledgor- that could reasonably be expected to be adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Hedge Counterparty, or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of the Loan Agreement, the Hedge Documents or any other Facility Document (including this Agreement).
(j) No Pledgor will, without the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty: (A) enter into any agreement amending, supplementing, or waiving in any material respect any provision of any Collateral consisting of any Pledged Note, any Pledged Note Lien or any UK Pledged Share (including the underlying instrument pursuant to which such Pledged Note, Pledged Note Lien or UK Pledged Share is issued) or compromising or releasing or extending the time for payment of any obligation of the maker thereof, (B) take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of that would result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of Pledged Note, Pledged Note Lien, UK Pledged Share or other instrument constituting Collateral, (C) permit the issuance of (x) any Collateral consisting of additional equity interests of any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer (unless immediately upon such issuance the same are pledged and delivered to the Hedge Counterparty pursuant to the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to give the Hedge Counterparty a security interest after such issue in at least the same percentage of such Pledgors outstanding interests as before such issue), (y) any Collateral consisting of securities or other ownership interests convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares or other ownership interests, or (z) any Collateral consisting of warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares or other ownership interests, or (D) enter into any agreement creating or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Collateral consisting of any Pledged Share, Pledged Interest or UK Pledged Share that could reasonably be deemed to be adverse to the Hedge Counterparty. Each Pledgor shall provide, or cause the relevant Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer to provide, the Hedge Counterparty with a copy of any amendment or supplement to, or modification or waiver of, any term or provision of any of the organizational documents of such relevant Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer, provided that such Pledgor shall not enter into any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of the organizational documents of such relevant Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer which could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of the Hedge Counterparty. The Pledgors covenant and agree that they shall not consent to or permit (1) any Collateral consisting of any Pledged Interest to be dealt with or traded on any securities exchanges or in any securities market or (2) any Collateral consisting of any Pledge Interest Issuer to elect to have its Pledged Interests treated as a security under Article 8 of the UCC unless the relevant Pledgors have (I) caused such Collateral consisting of any Pledged Interest to be certificated and (II) delivered all certificates evidencing such Collateral consisting of such Pledged Interest to the Hedge Counterparty, together with duly executed undated blank transfer powers, or other equivalent instruments of transfer acceptable to the Hedge Counterparty.
24
(k) Each Pledgor shall take such actions such that its Collateral consisting of Pledged Interests and Pledged Shares at all times shall be duly authorized, validly registered, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall not be registered in violation of the organic documents of the Pledgors or the preemptive rights of any Person, if any, or of any agreement by which the Pledgors or any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer is bound.
13. Defaults and Events of Default; Remedies.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Hedge Counterparty its attorney-in-fact, with-full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Hedge Counterparty may request to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Collateral in connection with clause (i) above, (iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Hedge Counterparty may request for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Hedge Counterparty with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iv) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13 IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL ALL OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL IN CASH AND ALL COMMITMENTS HAVE TERMINATED.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to its rights in the foregoing clause (a) and without limiting the generality of such clause, the Hedge Counterparty may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC, under any other applicable Requirements of Law and in the clauses (c) through (g) set forth below in this Section 13.
(c) Each Grantor agrees, (i) at the Hedge Counterpartys request if a Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) and all records for all Collateral at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Hedge Counterparty, and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Hedge Counterpartys request, to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the Hedge Counterparty or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.
(d) Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been sent upon deposit in the U.S. mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service, upon the electronic submission through telephonic services or, if by facsimile transmission, when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission, as applicable. Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) with respect to Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with
25
respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after default and at least ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time before disposition.
(e) Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable.
(f) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Hedge Counterparty of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Hedge Counterparty, first, to payment of the Hedge Counterpartys expenses in connection with the Collateral, including without limitation, attorneys fees and legal expenses, and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the Obligations in such order of application as the Hedge Counterparty may from time to time direct, and thereafter any surplus will be paid to the applicable Grantor or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. The Hedge Counterparty need not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the applicable Grantor has provided the Hedge Counterparty with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Hedge Counterparty arising out of the exercise by the Hedge Counterparty of any rights hereunder.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Hedge Counterparty may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, (or, if notice cannot be waived under the UCC, as required to be provided by the UCC) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Hedge Counterpartys offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Hedge Counterparty may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days prior 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. The Hedge Counterparty shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Hedge Counterparty 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.
(i) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Hedge Counterparty may transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Hedge Counterparty or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder, notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Hedge Counterparty of any amount due or to become due thereunder, enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature
26
of any party with respect thereto, endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantors name to allow collection of the Collateral, take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and execute (in the name, place and stead of each Grantor) endorsements, assignments, transfer powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
(j) To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Hedge Counterparty is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Requirements of Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and, to the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Hedge Counterparty be liable nor accountable to the Grantors for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. The Hedge Counterparty may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties or representations as to the Collateral. The Hedge Counterparty may disclaim 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.
14. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Hedge Counterparty will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Hedge Counterparty will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Hedge Counterparty in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Hedge Counterparty pursuant to instructions from the Hedge Counterparty, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Hedge Counterpartys gross negligence or willful misconduct.
To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Hedge Counterparty to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Hedge Counterparty (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Hedge Counterparty to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or
27
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing 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, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Hedge Counterparty against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Hedge Counterparty a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (1) to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Hedge Counterparty in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Hedge Counterparty would not be commercially unreasonable in the Hedge Counterpartys exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Hedge Counterparty shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any right to a Grantor or to impose any duties on the Hedge Counterparty that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section.
15. Relationship to First Priority Security Agreement; First Priority Collateral Agent.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Obligations are secured under the First Priority Security Agreement, the Hedge Counterpart), agrees not to exercise its rights or take any action under this Agreement, unless such action is authorized, or such right granted, to the Hedge Counterparty as a Lender Party under the First Priority Security Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and prior to the Discharge of First Priority Claims (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), to the extent that the Obligations are not secured under the First Priority Security Agreement, the Hedge Counterparty agrees not to exercise its rights or take any action under this Agreement which would materially conflict with, or interfere with the arrangements contemplated by, the First Priority Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.
16. General.
If, at the option of the relevant Grantor or as required pursuant to the Facility Documents, a Grantor shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Hedge Counterparty a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Attachment II with such other changes as may be acceptable to the Hedge Counterparty
28
(each a Joinder Agreement), and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the date hereof.
In the alternative, if any Grantor shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor under the Facility Documents by executing a joinder agreement under the First Priority Security Agreement, such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Hedge Counterparty such joinder agreement upon execution for acknowledgement by the Hedge Counterparty, and upon acknowledgement of such Joinder Agreement by the Hedge Counterparty such Subsidiary shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the date hereof.
Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement is sufficient as a financing statement. The Grantors hereby ratify their authorization contained in Section 11(a)(i) for the Hedge Counterparty to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction prior to the date hereof any financing statement or amendment thereto filed prior to the date hereof.
All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent, in the case of any Grantor, to the address of such Grantor shown on Schedule XI to the First Priority Security Agreement and, in the case of the Hedge Counterparty, at its address set forth on Schedule XI to the First Priority Security Agreement, or to such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission or e-mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when received.
To the extent not inconsistent with its obligations to the Other Secured Parties, each of the Grantors agrees to pay, jointly and severally, all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, paid or incurred by the Hedge Counterparty in endeavoring to collect all or any portion of the Obligations of any Grantor and in enforcing this Agreement against any Grantor, and all such fees and expenses shall constitute Obligations.
No delay on the part of the Hedge Counterparty in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Hedge Counterparty of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Hedge Documents have terminated. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Hedge Counterparty to any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by the Hedge Counterparty for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor), such Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Hedge Counterparty, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
29
as to such Obligations, all as though such application by the Hedge Counterparty had not been made.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Requirements of Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Grantors obligations under this Agreement under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Grantor (the Affected Person), automatically and without any further action being required of such Affected Person or the Hedge Counterparty, shall be liable under this Agreement only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by such Affected Person under any pledge to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of such Affected Persons obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical pledge voidable under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being any such Affected Persons Maximum Amount), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Pledge Agreement as to such Affected Person had instead been the Maximum Amount. This paragraph is intended solely to preserve the rights of Hedge Counterparty under this Agreement to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law, and neither any Affected Person nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Agreement, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Affected Person under this Agreement shall not be rendered voidable under applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Amount for any Affected Person pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other Grantor (including any other Affected Person) under the provisions of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Hedge Documents shall have terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Hedge Counterparty hereunder, to the benefit of the Hedge Counterparty and its successors, transferees and assigns. No Grantor may assign (unless otherwise permitted under the terms of the Facility Documents) any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Hedge Counterparty a counterpart of this Agreement together with supplements to
30
the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of the date of such delivery. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH. REFERENCE TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT).
EACH PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS NO RIGHT TO IMMUNITY FROM THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT OR FROM EXECUTION OF ANY JUDGMENT OR FROM THE EXECUTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREIN OF ANY ARBITRATION DECISION IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY IS OR BECOMES ENTITLED TO ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IT DOES HEREBY AND WILL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO BY THE MAILING OF A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO ITS RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SPECIFIED AT THE TIME FOR NOTICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH IT SHALL HAVE GIVEN WRITTEN OR ELECTRONIC NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTIES. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT THE ABILITY OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO BRING SUIT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
31
EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, the holders of Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assignees; provided that the Hedge Counterparty shall enforce this Agreement on behalf of all holders of Obligations.
This Agreement is a Facility Document, and may only be amended, waived or otherwise modified by written agreement with the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty and the Borrowers; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented by Joinder Agreements duly executed by each Grantor directly affected thereby and by updates or supplements to any Schedules, Attachments or Annexes hereto delivered in accordance with the First Priority Security Agreement and acknowledged by the Hedge Counterparty.
17.Foreign Pledge Agreements.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, in the event that any Collateral is also pledged to the Hedge Counterparty to secure the Obligations by any Grantor pursuant to any security, pledge or similar agreement governed by foreign law (a Foreign Pledge Agreement) and the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Grantor shall comply with the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement and shall not be deemed to have breached any representation or covenant contained herein or in any other Facility Document as a result thereof.
(b) If Supporting Assets with respect to the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note, in each case to the extent constituting Collateral, are the subject of a Collateral Disposition at a time when (x) the Fair Market Value of such Supporting Assets is less than (y) the Carrying Value thereof as of the Closing Date (the difference between such amounts beings the Adjustment Amount); ResCap shall be entitled, following consultation with the Hedge Counterparty, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note, as applicable, by the Adjustment Amount; provided that such Collateral Disposition complies with the applicable requirements of the Loan Agreement.

FORM OF JOINDER
This JOINDER AGREEMENT, dated as of _________ ____, 20 ___, is delivered pursuant to Section 16 of the Hedge Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy, dated as of August 13, 2008, among Residential Funding Company, LLC (RFC), GMAC Mortgage LLC (GMACM), certain of their Affiliates from time to time parties thereto as Grantors, and GMAC, LLC (GMAC), as Hedge Counterparty (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the Hedge Pledge and Security Agreement), and pursuant to Section 15 of the First Priority Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy, dated as of June 4, 2008, among RFC, GMACM, certain of their Affiliates from time to time parties thereto as Grantors, GMAC, as Lender and Lender Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as First Priority Collateral Agent (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the First Priority Pledge and Security Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as defined in the Hedge Pledge and Security Agreement.
