1.  Applications/Instructions.  Each  request to issue a Credit (an “Application”) shall be irrevocable and in such form as Bank shall from time to time require or agree to accept (including any type of electronic form or means of communication).

(a) For each Credit, Applicant shall pay Bank: (i) the amount of each drawing paid by Bank under the Credit on demand, if under a sight draft and at least one Business Day prior to the date when payment is to be made under a time draft (or acceptance relating thereto) or deferred payment obligation; (ii) commissions, fees and charges in respect of the Credit (including, commissions and fees for issuance, transfer, assignment of proceeds, amendments and drawings and of any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person), at such rates, amounts and times as Bank and Applicant shall mutually agree (or if no agreement, the rate then customarily charged by Bank); (iii) interest on each amount  under this Agreement for each day from and including the date such payment is due through the date of payment, on demand, at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the lesser of (A) Prime plus 4% and (B) the highest rate permitted by applicable law; (iv) Bank’s charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable internal and outside counsel fees, expenses and charges) incurred in connection with the protection or enforcement of Bank’s rights under this Agreement and any correspondent’s charges, with interest from the date paid or incurred by Bank through the date of payment by Applicant, on demand, at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 4%; and (v) if as a result of any Regulatory Change, the Bank determines that the cost to the Bank of issuing or maintaining any Credit is increased, or any amount received or receivable by the Bank hereunder is reduced, or the Bank is required to make any payment in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, then the Applicant shall pay to the Bank on demand such additional amount or amounts as the Bank determines will compensate the Bank for such increased cost, reduction or payment. “Regulatory Change” means any change after the date hereof in United States federal, state or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as amended or supplemented from time to time) or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives or requests applying to a class of banks including the Bank or under any United States federal or state, or any foreign, laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof. “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks in New York City, New York are not authorized or required to be closed for business. “Prime” shall mean the rate of interest per annum announced by the Bank from time to time as its Prime Rate; each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is announced as being effective.

If and to the extent that the obligations of Applicant under this paragraph are unenforceable for any reason, Applicant shall make the maximum contribution to the Costs permissible under applicable law.  The Indemnified Person shall give Applicant reasonably prompt written notice of any written claim or demand for payment in connection with which such Indemnified Person is seeking indemnity from Applicant (each, a “Claim”).  Upon the written request of Applicant, the Indemnified Person shall consult with Applicant with respect to the defense and settlement of any Claim.

 

(b) The liability of Bank (or any other Indemnified Person) under, in connection with and/or arising out of this Agreement or any Credit (or any pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to any direct damages suffered by Applicant that are caused directly by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation that does not at least substantially comply with a Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation that strictly complies with a Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Credit.  In no event shall Bank be deemed to have failed to act with due diligence or reasonable care if Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement, including paragraph 4(c) below. Applicant’s aggregate remedies against Bank and any Indemnified Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Applicant to Bank in respect of the honored presentation in respect of such Credit under paragraph 2 above, plus interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank and the other Indemnified Persons shall not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be liable for any punitive, consequential, indirect or special damages or losses regardless of whether Bank or any Indemnified Person shall have been advised of the possibility thereof or of the form of action in which such damages or losses may be claimed. Applicant shall take reasonable action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Bank or any Indemnified Person, including by enforcing its rights in the underlying transaction.  Any claim by Applicant for damages under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount saved by Applicant as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct and (ii) the amount of the loss that would have been avoided had Applicant mitigated damages. If a Credit is to be governed by a law other than that of the State of New York, Bank shall not be liable for any Costs resulting from any act or omission by Bank in accord with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and Applicant shall indemnify Bank for all such Costs. “Standard Letter of Credit Practice” means, for Bank, any domestic or foreign law or letter of credit practices applicable in the city in which Bank issued the applicable Credit or for its branch or correspondent, such laws and practices applicable in the city in which it has advised, confirmed or negotiated such Credit, as the case may be.

If a Credit subject to UCP does not specify which revision is applicable, the Credit shall be subject to Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600.

 

(c) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Bank and each other Indemnified Person (if applicable), shall not be responsible to Applicant for, and Bank’s rights and remedies against Applicant and Applicant’s obligation to reimburse the Bank shall not be impaired by: (i) honor of a presentation under any Credit which on its face substantially complies with the terms of such Credit; (ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Documents

which appear on their face to have been signed, presented or issued (X) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other party required to sign, present or issue the Drawing Documents or (Y) under a new name of the beneficiary; (iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft, and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Credit; (iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness, or legal effect of any presentation under any Credit or of any Drawing Documents; (v) disregard of any non-documentary conditions stated in any Credit; (vi) acting upon any Instruction which it, in Good Faith, believes to have been given by a Person or entity authorized to give such Instruction; (vii) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation; (viii) any delay in giving or failing to give any notice; (ix) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the solvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated Person or any other Person; (x) any breach of contract between the beneficiary and Applicant or any of the parties to the underlying transaction;  (xi) assertion or waiver of any provision of the UCP or ISP which primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including, any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place; (xii) payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under the Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it; (xiii) dishonor of any presentation upon or during any Event of Default or for which Applicant is unable or unwilling to reimburse or indemnify Bank (provided that Applicant acknowledges that if Bank shall later be required to honor the presentation, Applicant shall be liable therefor in accordance with paragraph 2 hereof); and (xiv) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice (or in the case of other independent undertakings or guarantees, the UN Convention)  applicable to where it has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Credit, as the case may be. “Good Faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct of the transaction concerned. “UN  Convention” means the United Nations Convention on Independent Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit.

Applicant’s acceptance or retention of a Drawing Document presented under or in connection with any Credit (whether or not the document is genuine) or of any Released Merchandise shall ratify Bank’s honor of the presentation and preclude Applicant from raising a defense, set-off or claim with respect to Bank’s honor of such Credit.

10.  Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a) Applicant submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York, for itself and its Property and agrees that any such court shall be a proper forum for any action or suit brought by Bank.  Service of process in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any Instruction or any Credit may be made upon Applicant by mailing a copy of the summons to Applicant either at the address set forth in the applicable Application or at Applicant’s last address appearing in Bank’s records. In addition, if Applicant is organized or incorporated in a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, Applicant designates the CT Corporation located at 111 8th Avenue, New York, New York 10011 as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of Applicant for receipt of the summons, writs and notices in connection with any such action or suit.

 

(b) No legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any Instruction or any Credit may be brought by Applicant against Bank (i) except in a state or federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York and (ii) unless commenced within one (1) year after (X) the expiration date of the applicable Credit or (Y) the alleged breach shall have purportedly occurred, whichever is earlier.

 

(c) APPLICANT WAIVES (I) THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN WHICH BANK AND APPLICANT ARE PARTIES (WHETHER OR NOT THE ONLY PARTIES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUCTION OR ANY CREDIT AND (II) THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY CLAIM, SETOFF OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE OR DESCRIPTION.

 

11.  Applicable Law; Severability. This Agreement  shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.  The UCP and the ISP, as in effect on the date of this Agreement,  are incorporated by reference into this Agreement and are evidence of Standard Letter of Credit Practice with respect to matters covered therein provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall prevail in case of a conflict between this Agreement, the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”), and/or Standard Letter of Credit Practice and the UCP shall prevail in case of conflict between the UCP and the Code or other Standard Letter of Credit Practice, if the Credit is governed by the UCP and the ISP shall prevail in case of a conflict between the ISP and the Code and other Standard Letter of Credit Practice if the Credit is a standby Credit governed by the ISP. Any provisions of this Agreement which may be determined by competent authority to be 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.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Applicant hereby waives any provision of law, which prohibits or renders unenforceable any provision of this Agreement.

 

12.  No Third Party Benefits; Successor; Assignment; Integration; Delivery by Facsimile; Notices.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Bank and Applicant and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, the Indemnified Persons and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Bank may, in compliance with applicable laws, assign or sell participations in all or any part of any Credit or this Agreement to another entity and Bank may disseminate credit information relating to the Applicant in connection with any proposed participation.  Applicant agrees to amend this Agreement and/or the Charge over Cash Deposit (as defined in paragraph 6(b)) in a manner that Bank deems reasonably necessary or desirable (under New York law, English law, or otherwise) in connection with any assignment or participation of all or any portion of Bank’s interest under this Agreement.  Applicant may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by any electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Notices to Bank shall be sent to the address of Bank as set forth on the Credit and shall be delivered by hand, overnight courier or certified mail, return receipt requested. Notices to Applicant shall be sent to the address set forth below the signature line hereto.  THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AND FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any term or provision of this Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent with the Charge over Cash Deposit as it relates to the Charged Property

(as defined in the Charge over Cash Deposit), then the terms and provisions of the Charge over Cash Deposit shall prevail and govern with respect thereto.

 

13.  Continuing Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and may not be terminated by Applicant except upon (i) thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such termination by Applicant to Bank at the address of Bank set forth on the most recent Credit issued hereunder, (ii) payment of all Obligations and (iii) the expiration or cancellation of all Credits issued hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a Credit is issued in favor of a sovereign or commercial entity, which is to issue a guarantee or undertaking on Applicant’s behalf in connection therewith, or is issued as support for such a guarantee, the Applicant shall remain liable with respect to such Credit until Bank is fully released in writing by such entity.

 

14.   Survival.  The provisions of Sections 2, 4, 6, 10, 11 and 13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, the reimbursement or repayment of any drawings or Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Credits or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

15.  Limitation of Interest and Other Charges.  Applicant and Bank intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws, if any, now or hereafter in force with respect to this Agreement.  To such end: the aggregate of all interest and other charges constituting interest under such applicable usury laws and contracted for, chargeable or receivable under this Agreement shall never exceed the maximum amount of interest, nor produce a rate in excess of the maximum contract rate of interest, that Bank is authorized to charge Applicant under such applicable usury laws.

 

16.  [Reserved]

 

17.  IN THE EVENT STANDBY CREDIT(S) ARE ISSUED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY:

 

Installments.  If the Credit is issued subject to UCP 500 or 600, unless otherwise agreed, in the event that any installment of the Credit is not drawn within the period allowed for that installment, the Credit may continue to be available for any subsequent installments in the sole discretion of the Bank, notwithstanding Article 41 of UCP 500 or Article 32 of UCP 600.

 

Auto Extend Notice.  If the Credit provides for automatic extension without amendment, Applicant agrees that it will notify Bank in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the last day specified in the Credit by which Bank must give notice of nonextension as to whether or not it wishes the Credit to be extended. Any decision to extend or not extend the Credit shall be in Bank’s sole discretion and judgment. Applicant hereby acknowledges that in the event Bank notifies the beneficiary of the Credit that it has elected not to extend the Credit and the beneficiary draws on the Credit after receiving the notice of non-extension, Applicant acknowledges and agrees that Applicant shall have no claim or cause of action against Bank or defense against payment under the agreement for Bank’s discretionary decision to extend or not extend the Credit.

 

Pending Expiry Notice.  If a Credit’s terms and conditions provide that Bank give beneficiary  a  notice of pending expiration, Applicant agrees that it will notify Bank in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the last day specified in the Credit by which Bank must give such notice of the pending expiration date. In the event Applicant fails to so notify Bank  and the Credit is extended, Applicant’s Obligations under this Agreement shall continue  in effect  and be binding on Applicant with regard to the Credit as so extended.
