Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor waives any additional right to notice of any Default or Event of Default or opportunity to cure any Default or Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, any security agreement, any guaranty agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (i) any right to notification required under UCC Section 11-9-611 of the disposition of any “Collateral” (as defined in the Credit Agreement and as defined in any other Loan Document) or any other collateral in which the Borrowers or the Guarantor has granted (or may hereafter grant) the Bank a Lien, (ii) any right to redeem, under UCC Section 11-9-623, any “Collateral” (as defined in the Credit Agreement and as defined in any other Loan Document) or any other collateral in which the Borrowers or the Guarantor has granted (or may hereafter grant) the Agent and/or the Lenders a Lien, and (iii) any other right which the Borrowers and the Guarantor may waive under the UCC (whether before or after default).

6


 

Agreement and each other Loan Document (except for circumstances described in UCC Section 11-9-611(d)).
     Section 5.3 Waiver of Trial by Jury. IN RECOGNITION OF THE HIGHER COSTS AND DELAY WHICH MAY RESULT FROM A JURY TRIAL, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
     Section 5.4 Relief From Stay. (a) In entering into this Amendment, each of the Borrowers, the Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders hereby stipulate, acknowledge and agree that each of the Agent and the Lenders gave up valuable rights and agreed to forbear from exercising legal remedies available to it in exchange for the promises, representations, acknowledgments and warranties of each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor as contained herein, and that each of the Agent and the Lenders would not have entered into this Amendment but for such promises, representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties, all of which have been accepted by the Agent and the Lenders in good faith, the breach of which by the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor in any way, at any time, now or in the future, would admittedly and confessedly constitute cause for dismissal of any such bankruptcy petition pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b).
(b) As additional consideration for the Bank agreeing to forbear from immediately enforcing its rights and remedies under this Amendment and in the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the institution of foreclosure proceedings, each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor agrees that in the event a bankruptcy petition under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101, et seq.) is filed by or against the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor at any time after the execution of this Amendment, each of the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the immediate entry of an order from the appropriate bankruptcy court granting the Agent and the Lenders complete relief from the automatic stay imposed by §362 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362) to exercise its foreclosure and other rights, including but not limited to obtaining a foreclosure judgment and foreclosure sale, upon the filing with the appropriate court of a motion for relief from the automatic stay with a copy of this Amendment attached thereto. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor specifically agrees (i) that upon filing a motion for relief from the automatic stay, each of the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to relief from the stay without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing and without the necessity or requirement of the Agent and the Lenders to establish or prove the value of the Collateral, the lack of adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or the lack of equity in the Collateral; (ii) that the lifting of the automatic stay hereunder by the appropriate bankruptcy court shall be deemed to be “for cause” pursuant to §362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362(d)(1)); (iii) that it will not

7


 

directly or indirectly oppose or otherwise defend against the Agent’s and/or the Lenders’ efforts to gain relief from the automatic stay, and (iv) each of the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to recover from the Borrowers and the Guarantor all of the Agent’s and the Lenders’ costs and expenses (including the Bank’s attorneys fees) incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any of them. This provision is not intended to preclude the Borrowers or the Guarantor from filing for protection under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. The remedies prescribed in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit the Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document or under any law.
(c) All of the above terms and conditions have been freely bargained for and are all supported by reasonable and adequate consideration and the provisions herein are material inducements for the Agent and the Lenders entering into this Amendment.
