8.11.  

Recovery of Additional Costs. If the imposition of or any change in any Legal Requirement, or the interpretation or application of any thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority (including any request or policy not having the force of law) shall impose, modify, or make applicable any taxes (except federal, state, or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the Lender), or other obligations which would (a) increase the cost to the Lender for extending, maintaining or funding the Credit Facilities, (b) reduce the amounts payable to the Lender under the Credit Facilities, or (c) reduce the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations with respect to the Credit Facilities, then the Borrower agrees to pay the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender therefor, within five (5) days after the Lender’s written demand for such payment. The Lender’s demand shall be accompanied by an explanation of such imposition or charge and a calculation in reasonable detail of the additional amounts payable by the Borrower, which explanation and calculations shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

8.12.  

Fee for Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay the Lender the fee described in Section 3.1D in part to cover the Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.  The fee is in addition to the payment and reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 7.2B.

 

8.13.  

Reinstatement. Each of the Borrower and the other Obligors agrees that to the extent any payment or transfer is received by the Lender in connection with the Liabilities, and all or any part of the payment or transfer is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or transferred by the Lender or paid or transferred over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any proceeding or otherwise (any of those payments or transfers is hereinafter referred to as a “Preferential Payment”), then this Agreement, the Notes and the applicable Related Documents shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, even if all those Liabilities have been paid in full and whether or not the Lender is in possession of the Notes and whether any of the Notes has been marked, paid, released or cancelled, or returned to the Borrower and, to the extent of the payment, repayment or other transfer by the Lender, the Liabilities or part intended to be satisfied by the Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the Preferential Payment had not been made. The obligations of the Borrower and the other Obligors under this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

8.14.  

Assignments. Each of the Borrower and the other Obligors agrees that the Lender may provide any information or knowledge the Lender may have about the Borrower or such Obligors or about any matter relating to the Credit Facilities, the Notes or the other Related Documents to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their successors or to any one or more purchasers or potential purchasers of the Credit Facilities, the Notes or the Related Documents; provided that the Lender agrees not to transfer the Credit Facilities, the Notes or the Related Documents to any Person other than a Subsidiary or Affiliate without the prior consent of the Borrower. Each of the Borrower and the other Obligors agrees that the Lender may at any time sell, assign or transfer one or more interests or participations in all or any part of its rights and obligations in the Notes to one or more purchasers whether or not related to the Lender.

 


 

 


 



8.15.  

Waivers. To the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, each Obligor waives (a) any right to receive notice of the following matters before the Lender enforces any of its rights: (i) any demand, diligence, presentment, dishonor and protest, or (ii) any action that the Lender takes regarding any Person, any Collateral, or any of the Liabilities, that it might be entitled to by law or under any other agreement; (b) any right to require the Lender to proceed against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any Collateral, or pursue any remedy in the Lender’s power to pursue; (c) any defense based on any claim that any Obligor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting liability of any Obligor or the enforcement hereof; (e) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever (other than payment in full) of the obligation of the Borrower for the Liabilities; and (f) any defense based on or arising out of any defense that the Borrower may have to the payment or performance of the Liabilities or any portion thereof. Each Obligor consents to any extension or postponement of time of its payment without limit as to the number or period, to any substitution, exchange or release of all or any part of any Collateral, to the addition of any other party, and to the release or discharge of, or suspension of any rights and remedies against, any Obligor. The Lender may waive or delay enforcing any of its rights without losing them. Any waiver affects only the specific terms and time period stated in the waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of the Notes is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Person against whom it is being enforced. Without limiting any foregoing waiver, consent or agreement, each Obligor further waives any and all benefits under Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 12-1641 through 12-1646, inclusive, and Rule 17(f) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, including any revision or replacement of such statutes or rules hereafter enacted.

 

8.16.  

Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence under this Agreement and in the performance of every term, covenant and obligation contained herein.

 

9.  

Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supersedes the Original Credit Agreement.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not in any circumstances be deemed to have terminated, extinguished, released or discharged the Borrower’s or any other Obligor's obligations under the Original Credit Agreement, which obligations shall continue under and be governed by this Agreement.  THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT A NOVATION.

 

10.  

WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER OBLIGORS WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT THE UNDERSIGNED MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM THE LENDER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

11.  

JURY WAIVER. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE OTHER OBLIGORS AND THE LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN THE BORROWER, THE OTHER OBLIGORS AND THE LENDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN.
