Borrower shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information, including the results of all samples sent for analysis, correspondence with official bodies and previous environmental audits or environmental reviews regarding its properties as are within its possession, custody or control or which are reasonably available to it, and will make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel employed by Borrower having knowledge of such matters. The cost of performing all Site Assessments shall be paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after demand by Lender, together with interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Notes from and after such tenth day until paid. The provisions of this Subsection 7.5 are in addition to all rights of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Copies of all reports shall be promptly provided to Borrower at Borrower’s request.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude or require any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. A waiver with respect to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to a subsequent event. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered, if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) three business days after mailing, if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, (c) on the next business day after dispatch, if delivered by Federal Express or other reputable overnight mail service, or (d) on the date transmitted (if transmitted before 5:00 p.m., prevailing time at the recipient’s location, otherwise on the next business day), if telecopied and followed by written confirmation thereof addressed as follows or to such other address as may be hereafter designated in writing by the respective parties hereto:

In addition to payment of the expenses and counsel fees provided for in Section 8.3, Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from any delay in paying, stamp and other similar taxes, if any, including, without limitation, all levies, impositions, duties, charges or withholdings, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon or other additions thereto, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any modification of any thereof or any waiver or consent under or in respect of any thereof.
8.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan hereunder. The provisions of Subsections 5.4(e), 7.5, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.8, 8.9, and 8.10 hereof shall survive payment of the Obligations.
8.6 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
8.7 Construction. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the domestic internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its rules pertaining to conflict of laws. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
8.8 Severability. Any provision contained in this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9 Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents shall be consummated, to pay, assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless Lender from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, settlements, claims, actions, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal and investigative fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature, including, but not limited to claims based upon negligence, strict or absolute liability, liability in tort, latent and other defects (whether or not discoverable), and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement which may from time to time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender (whether or not any such claim is also indemnified or insured against by any other person) in any way relating to or resulting from this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, except if claim is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the payoff, release, foreclosure or other disposition, as applicable, of this Agreement, the Obligations or the Collateral.

 

 


 

8.10 Waiver of Trial by Jury; Jurisdiction.
(a) Each party to this Agreement agrees that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by either party hereto or any successor or assign of any party on or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to the Loans or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way connection with the Loans, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SUBSECTION 8.10 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT EXTEND THE LOANS TO BORROWER IF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(b) For the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the Loans, Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any of the following: the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County or the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Borrower irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereinafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The provisions of this Paragraph 8.10(b) shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of Lender to institute and conduct action in any other appropriate manner, jurisdiction or court.
8.11 Actions Against Lender; Release.
(a) Any action brought by Borrower against Lender which is based, directly or indirectly, or on this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any matter in or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including but not limited to the making of the Loan or the administration or collection thereof, shall be brought only in the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Borrower may not file a counterclaim against Lender in a suit brought by Lender against Borrower in a state other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania unless under the rules of procedure of the court in which Lender brought the action the counterclaim is mandatory and will be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the action instituted by Lender.
(b) Upon full payment and satisfaction of the Loan and the interest thereon, as provided in Section 2 hereof, the parties shall thereupon automatically each be fully, finally, and forever released and discharged from any further claim, liability or obligation in connection with the Loans except as expressly set forth herein, except to the extent an payment received by Lender is determined to be a preference or similar voidable transfer.

 

 


 

8.12 Performance by Lender. If Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms, agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, or in any other Loan Document, Lender may, in its discretion, but without any obligation or duty to do so, and without waiving any Default, or Event of Default, perform any of such terms, agreements or covenants, in part or in whole, and any money advanced or expended by Lender in or toward the fulfillment of such terms, agreements or covenants, shall be due on demand and become a part of and be added to the indebtedness due under the Notes and secured as herein provided with interest thereon at the rate specified in such Notes from the date of the respective advance or expenditure. Lender’s rights contained in this Subsection 8.12 shall be in addition to all of Lender’s rights under any other provision of this Agreement, and Lender may, at its sole election, exercise any one or more, or all, of such rights alternatively or concurrently.
8.13 Further Actions. Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments, and take such other actions, as Lender deems necessary to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement, even if such actions shall be required after the Closing Date.
8.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement between Lender and Borrower with respect to the financing transactions to which they relate, and cannot be changed or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change or amendment is sought.
