Section 2.8    Costs, Expenses and Losses.  The Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan.  If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any sums due under this Agreement on the due date therefor, the Lender shall incur costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits from third parties or in connection with obtaining funds to maintain the Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender upon request by the Lender, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within fifteen (15) days after receipt by it of a certificate from the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses.

The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lender under this Section 5.8 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

  

  

  

 

Section 5.9     Waiver.  Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision.  No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lender upon any default under this Agreement or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lender in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lender in respect of any other default.  All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

 

Section 5.10   Indemnity.

 

(a)            The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold harmless (the “Indemnity”) each other and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, and expenses incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Financing Documents (each, a “Loss”), the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject.  The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Lender or the Borrower, as applicable, and such other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.  The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Financing Document to pay any amount to the Lender or the Borrower, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, this Agreement and the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 5.10 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lender hereunder.

 

  

  

  

 

Section 5.11   No Usury.  The Financing Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lender shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof.  The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Note.

 

Section 5.12  Further Assurances.  From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lender such additional documents as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of the Financing Documents or to preserve and protect the Lender’ rights as set forth therein.
