Construction. The language used in this Second Amended Agreement is deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction applies against any Party. Nor does any rule of construction favoring a non-draftsman apply. A reference to any statute is deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated under the statute, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless specifically otherwise provided or the context otherwise requires, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; the word “or” is deemed to include “and/or”; the words “including”, “includes” and “include” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” “herewith,” and words of similar import refer to this Second Amended Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited; and references to sections or exhibits are to those of this Second Amended Agreement. Headings in this Second Amended Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose.

Construction. This Agreement shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Grantee and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. This Agreement's headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

Construction. THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

Construction. The captions used in the Notice and this RSU Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Award for construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean, subject to Section 3.4, the repayment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all of the Obligations (including the payment of any termination amount then applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of the other Obligations) under Hedge Agreements provided by Hedge Providers) other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations or, # in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization, and # in the case of obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than Hedge Obligations, providing Bank Product Collateralization) other than # any Bank Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and # any Hedge Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.

Construction. The mention of the parties hereto by name or otherwise shall be construed as including and referring to their respective successors and assigns as well as to the parties themselves whenever such construction is required or admitted by the provisions hereof; and all covenants, agreements, conditions, rights, powers and privileges hereinbefore contained shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of such parties, unless otherwise provided.

Construction. This Agreement (including [Schedule A] attached hereto, if applicable) shall be construed in accordance and consistent with, and subject to, the provisions of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference) and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan.

Construction. Words of any gender used in this Warrant shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise. In addition, the pronouns used in this Warrant shall be understood and construed to apply whether the party referred to is an individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, or an individual or individuals doing business under a firm or trade name, and the masculine, feminine and neuter pronouns shall each include the other and may be used interchangeably with the same meaning.

Construction. The following rules of construction apply to this Agreement: # any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement; # all references in this Agreement to a Section, Schedule, or Exhibit are intended to refer to a Section, Schedule, or Exhibit of this Agreement; # the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision; # the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” if such words or the equivalent thereof are not present; # the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or;” # whenever the context requires, the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders, and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders; # captions and headings are only for reference; and # unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “years,” “quarters,” “months,” or “days” shall mean “calendar years,” “calendar quarters,” “calendar months,” and “calendar days.”

Construction. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be considered separate and apart from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that any provision, including any of the Participant’s obligations or restrictions set forth in [Exhibits A] and B to this Agreement, is held to be unenforceable for being unduly broad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and shall be enforced as amended. The RSUs are intended not to be subject to any tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with such intent.
