XIV. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the State of New York, without giving effect to rules regarding conflicts of law. Any judicial proceeding by involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the State and County of New York and in no other court. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower and Lender accept for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrower at its address set forth in Section 14.4 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Lender’s option, by service upon Borrower. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Borrower and Lender waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.
 
14.2 Entire Understanding. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding between Borrower and Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
 
14.3 Successors and Assigns. 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 any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

14.5 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.
 
14.6 Expenses.  All costs and expenses including, without limitation, (i) reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender (a) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any of the Obligations or effect collection of any Accounts, or (b) in connection with the entering into, modification, amendment, administration and enforcement of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or any consents or waivers hereunder or thereunder, or (c) in instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on Lender’s security interest in any of the Accounts, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or (d) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender’s transactions with Borrower and (ii) reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with any appraisals of the Accounts, field examinations, collateral analysis or monitoring or other business analysis conducted by outside Persons in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, may be charged to Borrower’s Account and shall be part of the Obligations.
 
14.7 Injunctive Relief. Borrower recognizes that if Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender; therefore, Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.
 
14.8 Consequential Damages.  Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.
 
14.11 Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.
