(c) Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement other than by facsimile. Nothing in this Amendment or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Amendment or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment, each foreign Obligor Party hereby irrevocably designates C T Corporation System, 111 8th Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as the designee, appointee and agent of such Obligor Party to receive, for and on behalf of such Obligor Party, service of process in the State of New York in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document.
(d) Each Obligor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding brought by any Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, unless no such court shall accept jurisdiction.
(e) The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(f) The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
13
(g) To the extent that any Obligor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Obligor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
Section 12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 13. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall become effective on the Amendment Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf form) shall be effective for all purposes as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
