EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 NOTE OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 NOTE AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
13.Successors and Assigns. This Note and all the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns of the Borrower and the Holder.
14.Records of Payments. The records of the Holder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owing on this Note including, without limitation, any adjustments to the principal amount and Repayment Amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.
15.Amendments and Waivers. No term of this Note may be waived, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. Any waiver of the terms hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
16.Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. Each waiver in this Note is subject to the overriding and controlling rule that it shall be effective only if and to the extent that (a) it is not prohibited by applicable law and (b) applicable law neither provides for nor allows any material sanctions to be imposed against the Holder for having bargained for and obtained it.
17.Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by electronic mail, on the date of transmission to such recipient (with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice), (iii) one (1) Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (iv) four (4) Business Days after being mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, and, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address or electronic mail address, as applicable, specified in Schedule I hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 17.
18.Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Note. Each signed copy, which may be delivered by facsimile or PDF transmission, shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Note as to the other parties hereto will be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. The Borrower agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications, including, without limitation, the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
19.Usury Laws. It is the intention of each party hereto to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereafter in force, and any interest payable under this Note shall be subject to reduction to the amount not in excess of the maximum legal amount allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction over such matters. If the maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an election by the Holder, prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, then earned interest may never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law, computed from the date hereof until payment, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of the Holder either be rebated to the Borrower or credited on the Repayment Amount, or if this Note has been paid, then the excess shall be rebated to the Borrower. The aggregate of all interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points or otherwise) contracted for, chargeable, or receivable under this Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum legal rate upon the unpaid balance of the Repayment Amount remaining unpaid from time to time. If such interest does exceed the maximum legal rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, rebated to Borrower or credited on the Repayment Amount, or if this Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.
20.Reaffirmation. The Borrower on behalf of itself and each Guarantor, as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Person grants liens or security
interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, in each case, pursuant to any Note Document, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its and each Guarantor’s payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under this Note and each other Note Document to which it is a party and (ii) to the extent such Person granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any Security Documents as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Obligations under or with respect to the Note Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interests and liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens hereafter secure all of the Obligations as amended hereby. The Borrower on behalf of itself and each Guarantor hereby consents to this Note and acknowledges that each of the Note and each other Note Document remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution of this Note shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent or the Holder, constitute a waiver of any provision of the Note or any other Note Document or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations.
21.ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS NOTE (INCLUDING THE SCHEDULES HERETO) AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE HOLDER, THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THEIR SUBJECT MATTER AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR CONFLICTING OR INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS, CONSENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO SUCH SUBJECT MATTER. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE IS NO ORAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND THE HOLDER WHICH HAS NOT BEEN INCORPORATED IN THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE DOCUMENTS.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Note as of the date first written above.
