This SUB-ORIGINATOR PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated
as of March 31, 2020 is entered into among the VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON
SCHEDULE I HERETO as a Sub-Originator (each, a “Sub-Originator”) and as initial
Servicer (as defined below), and COVIA HOLDINGS CORPORATION (“Covia”), a
Delaware corporation (the “Buyer” and “Servicer”).

DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined in this Agreement are defined in Article I of the Receivables Financing
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Financing
Agreement”), among Covia Financing LLC (the “SPV”), as borrower, Covia, as
initial Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Persons from time to
time party thereto as Lenders, PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative
Agent and as LC Bank, and PNC Capital Markets, LLC, as Structuring Agent.  All
references hereto to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly
indicated.  All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be
construed in accordance with GAAP. All terms used in Article 9 of the UCC in the
State of New York, and not specifically defined herein, are used herein as
defined in such Article 9. Unless the context otherwise requires, “or” means
“and/or,” and “including” (and with correlative meaning “include” and
“includes”) means including without limiting the generality of any description
preceding such term.

BACKGROUND

1. Each Sub-Originator generates Receivables in the ordinary course of its
businesses.

2. Each Sub-Originator, in order to finance its business, wishes to sell
Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to
purchase such Receivables and the Related Rights from the Sub-Originators, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

3. Each Sub-Originator and the Buyer intend each such transaction to be a true
sale and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by such Sub-Originator
to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the
Receivables, and the Sub-Originators and the Buyer do not intend the
transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to the
Sub-Originators.

4.The Buyer intends to sell the Receivables and the Related Rights to the SPV
pursuant to the Sub-Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, between the Buyer, as Originator, the Servicer and the SPV, as buyer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Sub-Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1  Agreement To Purchase and Sell.  On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Sub-Originator agrees to sell to
the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from such Sub-Originator, from time
to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale
Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Sub-Originator’s
right, title and interest in and to:

(a)each Receivable of such Sub-Originator that existed and was owing to such
Sub-Originator at the closing of such Sub-Originator’s business on the Cut-Off
Date (as defined below);

(b)each Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator from
and including the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale
Termination Date;

(c)all of such Sub-Originator’s interest in any goods (including Returned
Goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any
goods (including Returned Goods), the sale of which gave rise to such
Receivable;

(d)all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable;

(e)all other letter of credit rights, security interests or liens and property
subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such
Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or
otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings
relating thereto;

(f)solely to the extent applicable to such Receivable, all of such
Sub-Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and
all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the
related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time
supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such
Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or
otherwise;

(g)all records of such Sub-Originator to the extent related to any of the
foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but
not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which
any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be
deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such
Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC);
and

(h)all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the
foregoing that are or were received by such Sub-Originator on or after the
Cut-Off Date.

All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made
pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants
of the Sub-Originators set forth in this Agreement.  No obligation or liability
to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer
hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.  The property,
proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) above are herein
referred to as

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the “Related Rights”, and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase
Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Sub-Originator
party hereto on the date hereof, February 29, 2020, and (b) with respect to any
Sub-Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the
Business Day prior to the date on which such Sub-Originator becomes a party
hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Sub-Originator agree to in
writing.

SECTION 1.2  Timing of Purchases.

(a)Closing Date Purchases.  Effective on the Closing Date, each Sub-Originator
hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, such Sub-Originator’s
entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable that
existed and was owing to Sub-Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each
Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by Sub-Originator from and including
the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related
Rights with respect thereto.

(b)Subsequent Purchases.  After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale
Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated or otherwise
acquired by such Sub-Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold
by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action)
upon the creation by such Sub-Originator, sale to the Sub-Originator or
purported sale of such Receivable, as applicable.

SECTION 1.3  Consideration for Purchases.  On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price
payments to the Sub-Originators in accordance with Article III.

SECTION 1.4  Purchase and Sale Termination Date.  The “Purchase and Sale
Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase
Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Final Payout Date.

SECTION 1.5  Intention of the Parties.  It is the express intent of each
Sub-Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Sub-Originator to the
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including all Receivables,
if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related
Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment
(without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related
Rights by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security
interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Sub-Originator) and that
the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights
conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all
other Persons at any time, including lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers
and any Person claiming through such Sub-Originator.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a
security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) such Sub-Originator
shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement,
and such Sub-Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to
and under all of such Sub-Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: the

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created, generated
or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator.

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1  Purchase Report.  On the Closing Date and on each date when an
Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing
Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall
deliver to the Buyer and each Sub-Originator a report in substantially the form
of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting
forth, among other things:

(a)Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Sub-Originator on the Closing
Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b)Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Sub-Originator during the
calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the
case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

(c)the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as
provided in Section 3.4(a) and (b).

SECTION 2.2  Calculation of Purchase Price.  The “Purchase Price” to be paid to
each Sub-Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article
III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from
such Sub-Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following
formula:

PP

=

(OB x (1 – DF)) - PPC

where:

 

 

PP

=

Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.

OB

=

The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

DF

=

Discount Factor, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to a
percentage calculated to provide Buyer with a reasonable return on its
investment in the Receivables after taking account of (i) the time value of
money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of the Receivables and the
cost to Buyer of financing its investment in the Receivables during such period
and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors.  The Sub-Originator and Buyer
may agree from time to time to change the Discount Factor based on changes in
one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof;

provided that any change to the Discount Factor shall take effect as of the
first day of a calendar month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not
affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of Receivables which came into
existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during
which the Sub-Originator and Buyer agree to make such change.

PPC

=

A credit against the Purchase Price of a Receivable due to the Sub-Originator
being deemed to have received a Deemed Collection with respect to such
Receivable in the amount of such Deemed Collection.

 

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter
that such Sub-Originator is open for business.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1  Purchase Price Payment.

(a)On the Closing Date, each Sub-Originator shall, and hereby does, sell to the
Buyer, Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of such
Sub-Originator that exists and is owing to such Sub-Originator on the Cut-Off
Date.

(b)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Buyer agrees to pay to such Sub-Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase
to be made from such Sub-Originator on the Closing Date, (i) to the extent the
Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed
between the Buyer and such Sub-Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase
Report), if requested by such Sub-Originator and permitted under the Receivables
Financing Agreement, by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and conditions contained
for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement and (ii)
the remainder by accepting an Intercompany Loan from such Sub-Originator that
was made under an intercompany loan agreement in the form of Exhibit B (each
such intercompany loan agreement, as it may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, each being herein called an “Intercompany
Loan Agreement”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining
Purchase Price payable to such Sub-Originator not paid in cash.

SECTION 3.2  Subsequent Purchase Price Payments.  On each Payment Date
subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to such
Sub-Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated or otherwise
acquired by such Sub-Originator on such Payment Date:

(a)First, in cash to each Sub-Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash
available therefor, if requested by such Sub-Originator and permitted under the
Receivables Financing Agreement, by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more
Letters of Credit in

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters
of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement; and

(b)Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, an
Intercompany Loan shall automatically be made by such Sub-Originator to the
Buyer with an initial principal amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of
such Purchase Price;

provided, however, that if more than one Sub-Originator is selling Receivables
to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments
among the Sub-Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent
practicable the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Intercompany
Loans.  

All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Sub-Originator shall be allocated first to
the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest on the Intercompany Loans made by such
Sub-Originator and third to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount on
the Intercompany Loans made by such Sub-Originator to the extent of such
outstanding principal amount thereof as of the date of such payment, in each
case before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose.  The Servicer
shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the
Intercompany Loans to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions
made pursuant to Section 3.3, and absent manifest error, such entries shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered.

If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for
Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the
Sub-Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.3  Letters of Credit

(a)Any Sub-Originator may request that the Purchase Price for Receivables sold
on a Payment Date be paid by the Buyer procuring the issuance of a Letter of
Credit by the LC Bank.  Upon the request of a Sub-Originator, and on the terms
and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing
Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such
issuance), the Buyer agrees to obtain from the SPV one or more Letters of Credit
issued by LC Bank to issue, on the Payment Dates specified by such
Sub-Originator, on behalf of the SPV (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for
the account of, such Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of such Sub-Originator that
is acceptable to the LC Bank in its sole discretion) in favor of the
beneficiaries elected by such Sub-Originator or Affiliate of such
Sub-Originator, with the consent of the Buyer.  The aggregate stated amount of
the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date on behalf of such
Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of such Sub-Originator shall constitute a credit
against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Buyer to such
Sub-Originator on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.2.  To the extent that
the aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment
Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to such
Sub-Originator on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed to be (i) a
reduction in the outstanding principal balance of (and, to the extent necessary,
the accrued but unpaid interest on) the Intercompany Loan payable to such
Sub-Originator, to the extent the outstanding principal balance (and

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accrued interest) is greater than such excess and/or (ii) a reduction in the
Purchase Price payable on the Payment Dates immediately following the date any
such Letter of Credit is issued.  In the event that any such Letter of Credit
issued pursuant to this Section 3.3 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise
terminated with all or any portion of its stated amount undrawn, (ii) has its
stated amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made
thereunder) or (iii) the SPV’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is
reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a
drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such
reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to such
Sub-Originator on the next Payment Date or, if the Buyer does not then have cash
available therefor, shall be deemed to be added to the outstanding principal
balance of the Intercompany Loan payable to such Sub-Originator.  Under no
circumstances shall such Sub-Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than
the SPV)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any
Letter of Credit.

(b)In the event that any Sub-Originator requests that any purchases be paid for
by the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Sub-Originator shall on a
timely basis provide the Buyer with such information as is necessary for the SPV
to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and shall notify the Buyer,
the Servicer and the Administrative Agent of the allocations described in clause
(a) above.  Such allocations shall be binding on the SPV and such
Sub-Originator, absent manifest error.

(c)Each Sub-Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of each applicable Letter
of Credit Application referenced in the Receivables Financing Agreement and that
each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of
Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to
by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International
Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions
thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank, in each case
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Receivables Financing
Agreement.

SECTION 3.4  Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a)If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from a Sub-Originator
hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5,
5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 are not true with respect to such
Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a
result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in
bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with
respect to the relevant Obligor) of any Sub-Sub-Originator, on any subsequent
day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12,
5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 is no longer true with respect to such
Receivable, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be
accounted to such Sub-Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that
if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance
of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such
Sub-Originator.

(b)If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder
is either (i) reduced or canceled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected,
returned,

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation,
allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount, or other adjustment made by any
Sub-Originator, or any setoff, counterclaim, or dispute between or among a
Sub-Originator or any Affiliate of a Sub-Originator, and an Obligor or (ii)
subject to any specific dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever
(except the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor thereof), then the Purchase
Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net
reduction or dispute and shall be accounted to such Sub-Originator as provided
in clause (c) below.

(c)Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a)
or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against
the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such
Sub-Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of
Receivables from such Sub-Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of
Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such
reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price
sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(a)to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Intercompany
Loans made by such Sub-Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and
shall be deducted from the outstanding principal amount of, the Intercompany
Loans made by such Sub-Originator; and

(b)after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in
cash to the Buyer by such Sub-Originator on such Settlement Date in an amount
equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such reduction and (B) an amount
necessary to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficit that exists of such day after
giving effect to clauses (a) and (b), subject to the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Default exists under
the Receivables Financing Agreement or (y) on or after the Purchase and Sale
Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such
Sub-Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds
into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as
if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been
received on such date.

of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided.  This Agreement shall create and constitute the
continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and
shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto
shall agree.  The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any

OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE

thereof) and with respect to advising any such Person as to their rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (ii)
reasonable and documented accountants’ and auditors’ fees and expenses for the
Buyer (and any successor and the Administrative Agent, as the Buyer’s permitted

under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(b)to the Buyer (and any successor and the Administrative Agent, as the Buyer’s

THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE
THAT A FINAL 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.  

(b)EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO IT AT ITS

WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement, as the case may be.  The Schedules and
Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of
this Agreement.

SECTION 10.10  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other
electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally
executed counterpart.

SECTION 10.11  Acknowledgment and Agreement.  By execution below, each
Sub-Originator expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Buyer’s rights,
title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations),
shall be assigned by the Buyer to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of
the Lenders) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, and each
Sub-Originator consents to such assignment.  Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are
third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under
the other Transaction Documents to which any Sub-Originator is a party, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and
not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related
remedies.

SECTION 10.12  No Proceeding.  Each Sub-Originator hereby agrees that it will
not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against the SPV any
Insolvency Proceeding for at least one year and one day following the Final
Payout Date.  The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination
of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.13  Limited Recourse. Except as explicitly set forth herein, the
obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party are solely the obligations of the Buyer. No recourse
under any Transaction Document shall  be had against, and no liability shall
attach to, any officer, employee, director, or beneficiary, whether directly or
indirectly, of the Buyer. The agreements in this Section 10.13 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.14  Mutual Negotiations.  This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and
their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same.  Accordingly, in
the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be
interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the
drafting thereof.

SECTION 10.15  Severability.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
