7.8.     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.

 

7.9.     Reviewed by Attorneys. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders 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 Borrower 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.

 

7.10.     Disgorgement. If Agent or any Lender 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 such Lender, and Borrower will be liable to, and will indemnify, defend and hold Agent and such Lender 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 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

7.11.     Relationship. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between Agent and Borrower, and between each Lender and Borrower, 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 Borrower or between any Lender and Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that Agent and each Lender has acted at all times only as a creditor to Borrower within the normal and usual scope of the activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has Agent or any Lender attempted to exercise any control over Borrower or its business or affairs. Borrower further acknowledges that Agent and Lenders have not taken or failed to take any action under or in connection with its rights under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that in any way, or to any extent, has interfered with or adversely affected Borrower's ownership of Collateral.
