Item 1.01    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Forbearance Agreement

On January 31, 2024, that certain senior secured promissory note, dated as of October 10, 2023 and amended on January 10, 2024, issued by MariaDB plc (the “Company”) to RP Ventures LLC (“RP Ventures”) in the principal amount of $26,500,000 (the “RP Note”) matured. The Company did not pay the outstanding principal, interest, and other applicable fees or charges due and payable on the RP Note. In addition, the Company and the guarantors under the RP Note (the “Guarantors”) failed to comply with certain other obligations under the RP Note. This nonpayment and compliance failure gave rise to events of default under the RP Note.

The Company is currently in discussions with RP Ventures and Hale Capital Partners to replace the RP Note and raise capital through a convertible preferred equity financing. On February 5, 2024, to allow for further negotiations with respect to a transaction to restructure all or any material part of the obligations under the RP Note and any amendment or extension of the RP Note (the “RPV Transaction”), the Company and the Guarantors entered into a Forbearance Agreement by and among the Company, the Guarantors, and RP Ventures as Agent and Holder of the RP Note (the “Forbearance Agreement”). There are no assurances that the Company will reach an agreement with RP Ventures with respect to the RPV Transaction or that RP Ventures will not exercise remedies in the event that the Forbearance Agreement terminates or an additional event of default occurs under the RP Note. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, interest on amounts due under the RP Note accrues at the default rate of 2% above the otherwise-applicable non-default interest rate of 10%.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, RP Ventures has agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies in relation to the defaults under the RP Note identified in the Forbearance Agreement until February 21, 2024, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

In addition, the Company has agreed to pay RP Ventures a forbearance fee of $100,000 and to reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of RP Ventures and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, including its counsel, consultant and any other advisors, in connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the RP Note, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of October 10, 2023 by and between the Company and the Guarantors in favor of RP Ventures as Agent and Holder of the RP Note (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) and other related RP Note documents.

Additional Actions Resulting In Events of Default

Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company has agreed that certain additional actions taken by or regarding the Company would constitute an immediate event of default under the Forbearance Agreement, the RP Note, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and other related RP Note documents, without any notice or grace or cure period. These actions include, among other things, (i) any misrepresentation by the Company or failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the RP Note, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and other related RP Note documents, (ii) the exercise by a person other than RP Ventures of such person’s rights or remedies against the Company, or any obligor providing credit support for the Company’s obligations to such person, or against the Company or such obligor’s properties or assets, or (iii) any public announcement by (A) the Company regarding certain change of control events under the RP Note or a proposed change of control event under the RP Note (which include, among other things, the Company no longer owning 100% of each class of the outstanding equity interest of its direct and indirect subsidiaries) or (B) a third party regarding a proposed offer or other transaction with the Company that could result in a change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, RP Ventures may declare the principal of and accrued interest on the RP Note to be immediately due and payable.

Restricted Period

Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company is subject to certain restrictions for a period extending until the earlier of (i) the execution of a definitive agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, and RP Ventures relating to the RPV Transaction and (ii) 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on February 21, 2024 (the “Restricted Period”).

During the Restricted Period, the Company and its subsidiaries are unable to, directly or indirectly (in each case other than any transaction with RP Ventures): (i) (A) initiate, solicit, facilitate or encourage any inquiries or proposal from any persons that may constitute, or could be expected to lead to, any merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme of arrangement, amalgamation, spin-off, share exchange, business combination, purchase, loan, notes issuance, issuance of indebtedness or other financing or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or to any acquisition by any person or group, or proposal or offer, which would result in any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 2% or more of any class of



equity interests or voting power, or consolidated net income, revenue or assets, of the Company and its subsidiaries (in each case other than any transaction with RP Ventures) (each, an “Alternative Transaction”) or (B) discuss, negotiate, respond to or participate in any discussion or negotiations with any persons with respect to, or that could be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; (ii) provide any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries’ assets, business or records to any persons in connection with an Alternative Transaction, unless, and solely to the extent, required by Rule 20.3 of the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022 (the “Irish Takeover Rules”); (iii) waive or amend any standstill provision that any persons has entered into with respect to an Alternative Transaction, or (iv) approve, authorize, enter into or make any public statement regarding any contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or written), term sheet, letter of intent or similar instrument with any persons requiring or which would be expected to require the Company to delay, abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the RPV Transaction unless, and solely to the extent, required by law or regulatory authorities and, subject to the Irish Takeover Rules, prior written notice of such requirement is provided to RP Ventures, with RP Ventures having the opportunity (to the extent permitted by law) to minimize such disclosure.

In the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries receives an inquiry, proposal, offer, or indication of interest with respect to an Alternative Transaction during the Restricted Period (such offer, a “Competing Offer”) from a third party, the Company will (i) notify the third party that the Company is contractually prohibited from engaging in discussions with, or otherwise responding to, the third party in response thereto and (ii) promptly notify RP Ventures and provide the material terms and communications relating to such Competing Offer, among other things, to the extent permitted by the Irish Takeover Rules. To the extent permitted by the Irish Takeover Rules, the Company shall keep RP Ventures fully informed on a current basis of any modifications to such offer, indication of interest, proposal or inquiry and any information provided or received or communications made with respect thereto.

In addition, if the Company receives a Competing Offer during the Restricted Period that is determined to be superior to the terms proposed in connection with the RPV Transaction, and the failure to take such action with respect thereto would reasonably be expected to be violate the responsibility of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) under the Irish Takeover Rules, the Forbearance Agreement requires the Company to provide a notice to RP Ventures of such superior Competing Offer and sets forth certain procedures that RP Ventures may pursue to modify the terms of any proposed RPV Transaction in response to such determination within ten days of receiving such notice. During such ten day period from the time of such notice, the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives are prohibited from making any public statement or express any public opinion relating to the superior Competing Offer. In the event the Company makes such an announcement, the making of such announcement will, at the election of RP Ventures, constitute a termination event under the Forbearance Agreement.

During the Restricted Period, the Company is required to negotiate in good faith to execute and implement definitive legal documents to consummate the RPV Transaction.

In consideration of entering into the Forbearance Agreement, the Company agrees to release RP Ventures, Runa Capital Fund II, L.P. and its affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, and their respective present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, agents and other representatives of and from any and all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set off, demands and liabilities whatsoever in connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the RP Note, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and other related RP Note documents.

The foregoing description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Forbearance Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and incorporated by reference herein.

Related Parties

Pursuant to Board appointment rights granted under the RP Note, RP Ventures appointed two directors, Michael Fanfant and Yakov Zubarev, to the Board on October 10, 2023. Mr. Fanfant and Mr. Zubarev have relationships with RP Ventures or certain Company shareholders and their affiliates. Mr. Fanfant is a shareholder of Runa Capital II (GP), the general partner of Runa Capital Fund II, L.P., and Runa Capital Opportunity I (GP), the general partner of Runa Capital Opportunity Fund I, L.P. and the managing shareholder of Runa Ventures I Limited, which collectively beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. Mr. Fanfant has also served as sole member and manager of RP Ventures since June 9, 2023. Mr. Zubarev is the brother of Ilya Zubarev, who is a shareholder in Runa Capital II (GP) and Runa Capital Opportunity I (GP), and one of four members of the investment committee of each of these entities that makes all investment and voting decisions relating to the Company’s ordinary shares held by Runa, Runa Capital Opportunity Fund I, L.P. and Runa Ventures I Limited.

Additional Events of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge, confirm and agree that any misrepresentation by any Note Party, or any failure of any Note Party to comply with the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Note or any other Notes Document or in any other agreement at any time executed by any Note Party with, to or in favor of Agent or Holder will constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Notes Documents (without any notice or grace or cure period). In the event that any Person, other than Agent or Holder, at any time exercises for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of any Existing Defaults, any other present or future Event of Default, or otherwise) any of its rights or remedies against any Note Party or any obligor providing credit support for any Note Party's obligations to such other Person, or against any Note Party’s or such obligor's properties or assets, such event will constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Note and the other Notes Documents (without any notice or grace or cure period). In addition, any public announcement by (i) the Company regarding a Change of Control or a proposed Change of Control or (ii) a third party regarding a proposed offer or other transaction with the Company that could result in a Change of Control, shall constitute an immediate Event of


 
-5- Default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Note and the other Notes Documents (without any notice or grace or cure period). SECTION 4. [RESERVED] SECTION 5. SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS DURING THE FORBEARANCE PERIOD 5.1. Continued Compliance.

[Reserved.] 5.3. Restricted Period. (a) During the Restricted Period, none of the Note Parties, their Subsidiaries nor their respective partners, affiliates or representatives shall, directly or indirectly: (i) (A) initiate, solicit, take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or making of any proposal or any indication of interest from any Person or Persons (other than Holder) that may constitute, or could be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction (as defined below); or (B) discuss, negotiate, respond to or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or Persons (other than Holder) with respect to, or that could be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; (ii) provide any non-public information relating to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets, or business or afford access to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets, properties, books or records to any Person or Persons (other than Holder) in connection with an Alternative Transaction (including, but not limited to (A) the use of a physical or online data room and (B) any connection or affiliation between any of the directors and executive officers of the Issuer and such counterparties), unless, and solely to the extent, required by Rule 20.3 of the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022 (the “Irish Takeover Rules”), (iii) waive or amend any standstill provision that any Person or Persons (other than Holder) has entered into with any Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries, with respect to an Alternative Transaction, or (iv) approve, authorize, enter into or make any public statement regarding any contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or written), term sheet, letter of intent or similar instrument with any Person or Persons (other than Holder) requiring or which would be expected to require the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to delay, abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transaction with Holder or any of its affiliates unless, and solely to the extent, required by law or regulatory authorities and, subject to the Irish Takeover Rules, prior written notice of this requirement is provided to Holder, with Holder having the opportunity (to the extent permitted by law) to minimize such disclosure (provided that if the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel is required to provide such written notice to the Holder, the Note Party shall promptly take all necessary action to obtain such consent). (b) During the Restricted Period, the Issuer, the other Note Parties, and their Subsidiaries shall conduct business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and will use


 
-6- commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the value of the business as a going concern. During the Restricted Period, the Issuer, the Note Parties, and their Subsidiaries shall not sell, license, or transfer any material assets, except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practices of the Issuer. (c) During the Restricted Period, in the event any of the Issuer, the other Note Parties, their Subsidiaries, or their respective partners, affiliates or representatives receives any oral or written offer, indication of interest, proposal, or inquiry relating to an Alternative Transaction from any Person other than Holder (such Person, the “Third Party” and, such offer a “Competing Offer”), the Issuer shall inform the Third Party that the Issuer is contractually prohibited from engaging in discussions with, or otherwise responding to, the Third Party in response thereto and, to the extent permitted by the Irish Takeover Rules, will promptly (in any event, within 24 hours) provide Holder with written notice thereof, which notice shall include (i) the material terms thereof, including the identity of the Person or Persons involved and (ii) a copy of any written offer and other information that it received relating to an Alternative Transaction, and (iii) a copy (or if not written, a summary of) any communications relating to such offer, indication of interest, proposal or inquiry.

If the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel is required to provide such written notice to the Holder, as aforesaid, the Note Party shall promptly take all necessary action to obtain such consent.

(d) During the Restricted Period, the Issuer and the other Note Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to execute and implement definitive legal documents to consummate a Transaction.

(f) If a bona fide unsolicited Competing Offer is made to the Issuer, such Competing Offer did not, directly or indirectly result from or arise out of a breach of Section 5.3, and the board of directors of the Issuer determines, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors, that the Competing Offer is a Superior Proposal and the failure to take such action with respect thereto would reasonably be expected to be violate the directors responsibility under the Irish Takeover Rules, Issuer shall without undue delay promptly inform the Holder in writing of the Competing Offer and detail the terms that make the Competing Offer a Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person or Persons making such Superior Proposal (including providing the Holder with a copy of the Superior Proposal). During a period of ten (10)


 
-7- Business Days from the time of such notice, the Issuer and the Note Parties and their Affiliates and representatives shall not make any public statement or express any public opinion relating to the Superior Proposal. In the event that the Issuer makes such an announcement, the making of such announcement shall, at the election of Agent, constitute a Termination Event hereunder. If the Holder notifies the Issuer in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the written notice from the Issuer of such Competing Offer, that the Holder will amend its terms with respect to a Transaction (the “Amended Terms”). The board of directors of the Issuer shall then promptly carry out an assessment of whether the Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal after taking into account the Amended Terms, and if the board of directors of the Issuer concludes that the Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal, it shall promptly inform the Holder in writing of such conclusion and detail the terms that make it remain a Superior Proposal, and the Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days to further revise its Amended Terms. After such ten (10) day period, if the Holder has provided to the board of directors of the Issuer further revised Amended Terms, and the board of directors of the Issuer then determines that the Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal (taking into account the further revised Amended Terms), the Issuer shall execute such definitive documents with the Holder and the other parties thereto setting forth the further revised Amended Terms. Any material development or amendment to a Superior Proposal shall require the Issuer to deliver to the Holder a new notice of the Superior Proposal that commences a new ten (10) Business Day period for the Holder to evaluate the Superior Proposal and determine if it will amend its terms with respect to a Transaction. 5.4. Consent to Committee Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Note Documents, each of Agent and Holder hereby agrees that the Issuer, or the special committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Special Committee”), may (i) engage IBI Corporate Finance Limited or its Affiliates (“IBI”) to act as the Issuer’s financial advisor in connection with the review of a potential transaction to restructure the Issuer’s obligations under the Note and (ii) pay all reasonable and documented fees, expenses, and disbursements of IBI on presentation of statements approved by the Issuer or the Special Committee, as applicable (other than any compensation or fee arrangement based on a contingency fee, “success” fee or any other type of fee arrangement that is dependent on an outcome). SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Each Note Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 6.1. Representations in the Note and the Other Notes Documents. Each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of such Note Party to Agent or any Holder in the Note or any of the other Notes Documents was true and correct when made, and is, except for the Existing Defaults and any Material Adverse Effect arising under Sections 41.22(c), (d) or (e), true and correct on and as of the date of this Agreement with the same full force and effect as if each of such representations and warranties had been made by such Note Party on the date hereof and in this Agreement.

Release. (a) In consideration of, among other things, the Agent’s and the Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Note Party, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, and (to the extent within its authority) its present and former members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, legal representatives and other representatives (each Note Party and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasing Parties” and individually as a “Releasing Party”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges Agent, each Note Holder, Runa and each of their respective successors and assigns, and their respective present and former shareholders, members, managers, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, legal representatives and other representatives (Agent, Note Holders, Runa and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from any and all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set off, demands and liabilities whatsoever


 
-10- relating to facts currently in existence (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, at law or in equity, which any Releasing Party or any of its successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the date of this Note, including, without limitation, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with this Note, any of the other Notes Documents or any of the transactions hereunder or thereunder. Releasing Parties hereby represent to the Releasees that they have not assigned or transferred any interest in any Claims against any Releasee prior to the date hereof. Each Note Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to any Claim and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. Each Note Party agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered will affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above. (b) Each Note Party hereby agrees that it shall be, jointly and severally, obligated to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless with respect to any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by the Releasees, or any of them, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to any proceeding by or on behalf of any Person, including, without limitation, the respective officers, directors, agents, trustees, creditors, partners or shareholders of the Issuer, any other Note Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, whether threatened or initiated, in respect of any claim for legal or equitable remedy under any statue, regulation or common law principle arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of the Note, the other Notes Documents, this Agreement, or any other document executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; provided, that neither the Issuer nor any other Note Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Releasee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent they result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Releasee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Note Party agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof that is permissible under applicable Law. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Note, the other Notes Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations. (c) All parties hereto shall be deemed to have waived any and all provisions, rights, or benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any statute rule and legal doctrine similar, comparable, or equivalent to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any comparable applicable statutes), which provides that: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.


 
-11- 8.7. Covenant Not to Sue. Each Releasing Party hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by any Releasing Party pursuant to Section 8.6(a) above. If any Releasing Party violates the foregoing covenant, each Note Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, and its present and former members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, legal representatives and other representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation. 8.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable will not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement. 8.9. Reviewed by Attorneys. Each Note Party represents and warrants to Agent and Holder that it (a) understands fully the terms of this Agreement and the consequences of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (b) has been afforded an opportunity to discuss this Agreement with, and have this Agreement reviewed by, such attorneys and other persons as such Note Party may wish, and (c) has entered into this Agreement and executed and delivered all documents in connection herewith of its own free will and accord and without threat, duress or other coercion of any kind by any Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that neither this Agreement nor the other documents executed pursuant hereto will be construed more favorably in favor of one than the other based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith. 8.10. Disgorgement. If Agent or Holder is, for any reason, compelled by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to surrender or disgorge any payment, interest or other consideration described hereunder to any person because the same is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, impermissible set-off or for any other reason, such indebtedness or part thereof intended to be satisfied by virtue of such payment, interest or other consideration will be revived and continue as if such payment, interest or other consideration had not been received by Agent or Holder, and the Note Parties will be liable to, and will indemnify, defend and hold Agent or Holder harmless for, the amount of such payment or interest surrendered or disgorged. The provisions of this Section will survive repayment of the Obligations or any termination of the Note or any other Notes Document. 8.11. Tolling of Statute of Limitations. Each and every statute of limitations or other applicable law, rule or regulation governing the time by which Agent must commence legal proceedings or otherwise take any action against any Note Party with respect to any breach or default that exists on or prior to the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period and arises under or in respect of the Note or any other Notes Document shall be tolled during the Forbearance Period. Each Note Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to include such period of time as a defense (whether equitable or legal) to any legal proceeding or other action by Agent in the exercise of its rights or remedies referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.


 
-12- 8.12. Relationship. Each Note Party agrees that the relationship between Agent and such Note Party and between Holder and such Note Party is that of creditor and debtor and not that of partners or joint venturers. This Agreement does not constitute a partnership agreement, or any other association between Agent and such Note Party or between Holder and such Note Party. Each Note Party acknowledges that Agent and Holder has acted at all times only as a creditor to such Note Party within the normal and usual scope of the activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has Agent or Holder attempted to exercise any control over such Note Party or its business or affairs. Each Note Party further acknowledges that Agent and Holder has not taken or failed to take any action under or in connection with its respective rights under the Note or any of the other Notes Documents that in any way, or to any extent, has interfered with or adversely affected Issuer’s ownership of Collateral. 8.13. Governing Law: Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. The terms and conditions of Sections 28 and 29 of the Note shall be incorporated herein as if such terms and conditions were made a part hereof mutatis mutandis. 8.14. Waivers; Acknowledgements. (a) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN AGENT OR Holder AND ANY NOTE PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE OR THE OTHER NOTES DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. (b) Waivers/Acknowledgments by Note Parties. Each Note Party hereby waives any right such Note Party may have upon payment in full of the Obligations to require Agent to terminate its security interest in the Collateral, other collateral or in any other property of any Note Party until termination of the Note in accordance with its terms and the execution by each Note Party of an agreement indemnifying Agent and Holder from any loss or damage Agent or Holder may incur as the result of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Agent or Holder from any Note Party, or any account debtor, and applied to the obligations. Each Note Party acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is a material inducement to Agent and Holder entering into this Agreement and that Agent and Holder are relying upon the foregoing waiver in its future dealings with the Note Parties. The Note Parties further acknowledge and agree that any reference in this Agreement, in the Note or in any other Notes Document to the satisfaction, repayment or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean and include, in addition to and without limitation of any provisions in the Note or other Notes Documents, the receipt by Agent of cash collateral in order to secure any other contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made on or prior to such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Agent or a Holder at such time that are expected to result in any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Agent reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations. 8.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered via facsimile or other electronic transmission (including .pdf format) with the same force and effect as if an


 
-13- original were executed, and may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all of such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same agreement. No party hereto or to any such other Notes Document shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or amendment was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
