7.7          Expenses.  As provided in the Credit Agreement, but without limiting any terms or provisions thereof, each of the Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the documentation, preparation and execution of this Amendment, regardless of whether this Amendment becomes effective in accordance with the terms hereof, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Credit Agreement as amended or otherwise modified hereby, including reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of one outside counsel of the Lenders and one counsel to each Agent and any necessary local counsel.

(a)            it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents;


 



5

7.10         Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto separately in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Transmission by a party to another party (or its counsel) via facsimile or electronic mail of a copy of this Amendment (or a signature page of this Amendment) shall be as fully effective as delivery by such transmitting party to the other parties hereto of a counterpart of this Amendment that had been manually signed by such transmitting party.







7.11         Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)           consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;







(c)           agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower or any other Loan Party at its address set forth in Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, or, in any case, at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;







(d)           agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and







(e)           waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
