The LC Issuer shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any factual or legal determinations as to the correctness of any demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or other related agreements or as to any other matters before the LC Issuer makes any payments under any Letter of Credit. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Account Party hereby irrevocably waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with any demand or payment under any Letter of Credit, (ii) any requirements that the LC Issuer exhaust any right or remedy against the Account Party or any other Person in connection with any Letter of Credit, and (iii) any claim or defense in connection with any Letter of Credit based on any time or other indulgence granted to the Account Party or any other Person.

Section 14.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 14.11. Marshalling; Recapture. The LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Account Party or any other party. To the extent the LC Issuer receives any payment in respect of the Obligations, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Account Party or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the liabilities of the Account Party to the LC Issuer, as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 14.12. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

-14-

Section 14.13. Survival. The provisions of Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 14.14. Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.
