Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMC may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if Customer: (i) becomes insolvent; (ii) becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy which is not withdrawn or dismissed within 60 days thereafter; (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) breaches any material obligation under this Agreement (including but not limited to, failure to make any payment when due) and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after delivery of notice thereof, provided, in the event of a failure to make a payment when due, the cure period shall be only 5 days after delivery of notice.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

  • a. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and merges all prior discussions, representations and negotiations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
  • b. Amendment. No amendment or modification hereof shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless made in writing and signed by both parties.
  • c. Assignment & Successors. Customer shall not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement (either may hereafter be called, an “assignment”), either in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without BMC’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment without such written consent will be void. It is agreed that it is reasonable for BMC to withhold consent (and such consent shall be deemed to not be given) if (i) in its reasonable judgment, the proposed assignee will not have the ability to fully comply with this Agreement including, without limitation, satisfy all financial obligations, or (ii) Customer failed to provide BMC with at least 30 days advance written notice of an assignment, or (iii) Customer failed to pay all amounts due prior to the assignment. Any permitted assignment shall require the assignee or party to which the obligations are delegated, as the case may be, to execute an agreement with BMC requiring such party to fully assume all subject Customer obligations. Regardless, Customer shall not be relieved of any responsibility or liability under this Agreement (i.e., Customer shall remain primarily liable and responsible), including without limitation, for all payment obligations. Consent to any assignment shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity of a consent to any subsequent assignment. If Customer is a corporation, then any assignment by merger, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of, or power to vote, the majority of its outstanding voting stock, or a recapitalization which effectively alters such voting control, shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Section. If Customer is a partnership, a fifty percent (50%) change in control shall constitute an assignment. In any event, a sale of (or attempt to sell) a substantial portion of Customer’s assets not in the ordinary course of its business shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section. The rights and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors, heirs, executors, legatees and permitted assigns.
  • d. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

  • f. Independent Contractors. The parties shall act and at all times shall be independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create an agency, partnership or employer and employee relationship between the parties. Neither party shall make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of the other party except as specifically permitted in this Agreement.
  • g. Severability. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall, if possible, be interpreted rather than voided, in order to achieve the intent of the parties to this Agreement to the extent possible. In any event, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the fullest extent. This Section 10.g. shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  • h. Waiver. None of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement can be waived except by the written consent of the party waiving compliance.
  • i. Applicable Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and performed entirely within Delaware, without reference to any choice of law principals. With respect to any litigation arising out of this Agreement, Customer waives any right to a jury trial and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Cook County, Illinois.
  • j. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if the parties executing the counterparts had all executed one counterpart.
