In the event of a discrepancy between the telephone notice and the written Funding Notice, the written Funding Notice shall govern. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith.
 
2.2. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds
 
(a)            Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.
 
 
29
 
 
(b)           Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If the Administrative Agent has made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower but such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall on or prior to the next Payment Date pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder. If (1) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (2) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (3) such Lender's failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date, then such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender's Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower's receipt of the requested amount and the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay interest on any amounts not so advanced. Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
2.3. Use of Proceeds.
 
The proceeds of the Loans made hereunder and of the issuance of the Subordinated Notes shall be used solely:
 
(a)           to Acquire the Collateral Obligation to be Acquired by the Borrower on the Initial Credit Date;
 
(b)           to fund the Borrower's payment of the costs and expenses payable hereunder;
 
(c)           to deposit an amount equal to the Primary Reserve Amount into the Primary Reserve Account; and
 
(d)           to deposit an amount equal to the Secondary Reserve Amount into the Secondary Reserve Account.
 
2.4. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders' Books and Records; Notes.
 
(a)           Lenders' Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts and currencies of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error; provided that (1) the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and (2) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.
 
 
30
 
 
(b)           Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (1) any entry relating to such Lender's Loans and (2) the identity of the other Lender's (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders' Loans)) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower's non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent the Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees".
 
(c)           Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Initial Credit Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is a registered assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6) on the Initial Credit Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Initial Credit Date, promptly after the Borrower's receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender's Loans. Such Note shall in its written terms require recordation in the Register of the Note's execution, delivery and any subsequent transfer or assignment. If Notes are delivered to any Lender, the Borrower may establish commercially reasonable procedures for replacing lost or stolen Notes.
 
2.5. Interest on Loans.
 
(a)           Interest Accruals. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof at the Floating Rate applicable such Interest Period for such Loan plus the Spread.
 
(b)           Interest Rate Determinations. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rates that shall apply to the Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period, and shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender.
 
(c)           Day-Count Fractions, Etc.
 
(1)           Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, except that any interest accruing at a Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan.
 
 
 
31
 
 
(2)           Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans, in each case in accordance with the Priority of Payments or otherwise as expressly provided herein.
 
2.6. Default Interest.
 
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest thereon, and any other amounts owing hereunder, shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not in and of itself constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Secured Party.
 
2.7. Prepayments; Voluntary Commitment Reductions.
 
(a)            Voluntary Prepayments.
 
(1)           Any time and from time to time, the Borrower may prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (each, a "Voluntary Prepayment"), in an aggregate minimum amount not less than the Applicable Minimum Amount and integral multiples in excess of that amount equal to the related Applicable Integral Multiple; provided that:
 
(x)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would immediately result therefrom; and
 
(y)           sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Collection Account to pay the principal of the Loans to be prepaid together with the other amounts that will be owing in connection therewith.
 
(2)           All such prepayments shall be made, upon not less than three Business Days prior written or telephonic notice (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), in each case given to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit a copy of such written notice to each Lender). Each notice of a Voluntary Prepayment shall specify the Loans to be prepaid, the principal amount to be prepaid and the related prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.
 
(b)           Other Amounts. Each payment of principal of the Loans in connection with a Voluntary Prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of the amount of accrued interest on the portion of the Loans so prepaid and (if such payment is made other than on the last day of an interest period) any related breakage costs payable under Section 2.11(c).
 
(c)            Non-Waterfall Payments. Voluntary Prepayments and payment of amounts under clause (b) above shall not be subject to the Priority of Payments but instead shall be made solely out of Collections then on deposit in the Collection Account.
 
2.8. Required Principal Payments.
 
(a)            Scheduled Amortization.
 
 
32
 
 
(1)            Principal of the Loans will be repayable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
 
(2)            On the Maturity Date the Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans that are then outstanding.
 
(b)            Mandatory Prepayments. If a Credit Event occurs, or the Collateral Obligation is paid in full, or a Clean-Up Call Event occurs, then the Borrower shall, upon receipt of not less than three Business Days prior written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent (a "Mandatory Prepayment Notice"), prepay all outstanding Loans (a "Mandatory Prepayment") during the related Mandatory Prepayment Period; provided that funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Margin Account on the first day of such Mandatory Prepayment Period shall be applied to such Mandatory Prepayment on such date and funds deposited into the Collection Account and the Margin Account on each Business Day thereafter shall be applied to such Mandatory Prepayment no later than the Business Day following the date of such deposit.
 
(c)            Non-Waterfall Payments. Mandatory Prepayment under clause (b) above shall not be subject to the Priority of Payments but instead shall be made solely out of Collections then on deposit in the Collection Account and funds on deposit in the Margin Account, with any remaining unpaid amounts to be paid out of Collections thereafter received in the Transaction Accounts until paid in full, and all amounts that continue to be owing on and after the next Payment Date shall be payable under the Priority of Payments.
 
2.9. General Provisions Regarding Payments.
 
(a)            All payments by the Borrower shall be made in USD, in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due therefor. For purposes of computing interest and fees, funds deposited after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
(b)           Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.
 
(c)           Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made on the Payment Dates in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
 
(d)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived or cured, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 9 or pursuant to any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, all payments or proceeds received by Agents in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the Enforcement Priority of Payments.
 
2.10. Ratable Sharing.
 
 
33
 
 
The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or under analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, consolidation, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.
 
2.11. Making or Maintaining Floating Rate Loans.
 
(a)           Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of "Floating Rate", the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) such Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the related Spread per annum until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice given by the Borrower with respect to such Loans shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower or, at the election of the Borrower, a request that such Loans be made bearing interest based on the applicable Base Rate instead of such Floating Rate.
 
 
34
 
 
(b)            Illegality or Impracticability of Floating Rate Loans. If on any date (i) any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Requisite Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of their Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the relevant interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that interbank market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an "Affected Lender" and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting Requisite Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (A) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make additional Loans shall be suspended until such time as such circumstances cease to exist (at which time such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender); (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower (or, at the election of the Borrower, be deemed to be a request that such Loan be made bearing interest based on the applicable Base Rate); (C) the Lenders' (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender's) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Loans that bear interest based on the applicable Floating Rate (the "Affected Loans") shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Loans that bear interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the related Spread per annum on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(c), to rescind such Funding Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).
 
(c)           Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount owing), for all reasonable losses (other than lost profits), expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Lender may sustain as a result of any of the following (each, a "Breakage Event"):
 
(1)           if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing;
 
(2)           if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of the Loans on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or
 
(3)           if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.
 
 
35
 
 
(d)           Booking of Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.
 
(e)            Assumptions Concerning Funding of Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.11 and under Section 2.12 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Loans through the purchase of a deposit in USD relating to such Loans bearing interest at the applicable Floating Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided that each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.11 and under Section 2.12.
 
2.12. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
 
(a)           Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law: (1) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; (2) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Loans that are reflected in the determination of the Floating Rates) or any company controlling such Lender; or (3) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender or such Lender's obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.12(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
 
(b)           Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (1) any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or (2) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.12(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
 
 
 
36
 
 
(c)           Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
2.13. Taxes; Withholding, Etc.
 
(a)           Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law.
 
(b)           Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) is (in such withholding agent's reasonable good faith discretion) required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to a Recipient under any of the Transaction Documents: (1) the applicable Credit Party or other Person shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (2) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.13, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Taxes is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Taxes (including any such Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.13), such Recipient, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Taxes been made; and (4) within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (1) above to pay, the applicable Credit Party or other Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
 
 
37
 
 
(c)           Evidence of Exemption from Withholding Tax. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Such payment shall be due within ten days of such Credit Party's receipt of such certificate.
 
(g)           Lender Indemnity. Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent for (1) Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.13(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any such Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent therefor and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so); (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(g)(1) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.

It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Accounts Securities Intermediary is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights granted to the Agents in the Transaction Documents shall not be construed as duties.

Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and each Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and responsibilities as are express specified herein and therein. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees, and no Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any such agent or employee appointed by it with due care. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person; and nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
 
The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them (1) at the direction of the Borrower as provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (2) with the consent of or at the request or direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder), or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian with the consent of or at the direction of the Administrative Agent or (3) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment.
 
The Lenders hereby direct each of the Agents, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, respectively, on or prior to the Initial Credit Date and to execute and deliver additional Transaction Documents from time to time (upon written direction by the Requisite Lenders). It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in taking any of the foregoing actions, the Agents are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Transaction Documents, the Agents each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to them under this Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to them under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).
 
10.3. General Immunity.
 
(a)            No Agent shall be responsible to any Person for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Transaction Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Transaction Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.
 
 
67
 
 
(b)            No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Transaction Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian instructions in respect thereof from the Administrative Agent and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be) or the Administrative Agent, such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (1) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any resolution, officer's certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, communication, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for such Agent or any Credit Party), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (2) no Lender or any other person shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or the Administrative Agent. For all purposes herein and the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent may accept and act upon instructions and consents provided by the Administrative Agent as if such instructions and consents were provided by the Requisite Lenders directly.
 
(c)            Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent, provided that the Administrative Agent may do so only with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates (each also a "sub-agent"). The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any Affiliates, receivers, delegates or sub-agents of the Agents and shall apply any other activities as the Agents. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent, receiver or delegate as if such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and its respective Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Agents and each receiver and delegate, (1) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Credit Parties and the Lenders, (2) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and (3) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall only have obligations to the respective Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent, receiver or delegate. The Agents shall not be responsible for the conduct of such sub-agents, receivers, delegates or attorneys appointed by them with due care.
 
 
68
 
 
(d)            No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such circumstance or event is given to an Authorized Officer of such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender and states that it is a notice of such circumstance or event. In the absence of receipt of such notice, each Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Upon receipt of any such notice, the relevant Agent shall have no duty or obligation in connection therewith unless and until directed by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such direction hereunder) or, with respect to directions to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent. No Agent shall have any duty to take any action to determine whether any such circumstance or event has occurred. Except as expressly provided herein, delivery of reports, documents and other information to any Agent is for informational purposes only and such Agent's receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any event or circumstance or any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein or any other related document. Except with respect to written notices of Defaults and Events of Default of which an Authorized Officer of the applicable Agent has actual knowledge, information contained in notices, reports or other documents delivered to such Agent and other publicly available information shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge. In the absence of receipt of such notice or knowledge, the applicable Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Knowledge of notices or other documents delivered to any Agent in any capacity shall not constitute knowledge of or delivery to (1) such Agent in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents or to any Affiliate or other division of such Agent or (2) any other Agent.
 
(e)            The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to protect, preserve or exercise rights against any Person with respect to any of the Collateral (except to the extent expressly required in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party) and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents.
 
(f)            Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, no Agent shall have any obligation to take any discretionary action under this Agreement or any Transaction Document and before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by an Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Agent may seek the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or, solely with respect to direction to a Bank Party, the Administrative Agent (which written direction may be in the form of an e-mail), and such Agent shall be entitled to rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Agents shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. In absence of such direction with respect to any action or inaction, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such Agent shall have received such direction, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the Transaction Documents regarding which Lender shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents authorizing any Agent to take any action shall not obligate such Agent to take such action.
 
 
69
 
 
(g)            No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority. No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral.
 
(h)            No Agent shall be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Agent have any responsibility or liability with respect to any instrument, certificate or report furnished pursuant to the Transaction Documents, or with respect to any calculations not expressly to be determined by such Agent.
 
(i)            No Agent shall ever be required to use, risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers under this Agreement or under the other Transaction Documents (and, without limiting the foregoing, no Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have any obligation to grant any credit extension or to make any advance hereunder). In no event shall any Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including lost profits), even if such Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.
 
(j)            Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such advice or concurrence hereunder or thereunder) or, solely with respect to a Bank Party, the Administrative Agent (and shall not be liable for any loss or expense that arises as a result of its failure to act while awaiting such advice or concurrence) and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders) against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting to take any such action.
 
(k)            Each Agent shall be entitled to consult with and rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and such advice shall be full protection and authorization for any action taken or omitted by such Agent in good faith thereon.
 
(l)            In connection with the delivery of any information to any Agent by the Borrower or any other Person to be used by such Agent in connection with the preparation or distribution of calculations or reports or the performance or other duties under the Transaction Documents, such Agent is entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy of any such information and shall not be required to investigate or reconfirm its accuracy and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any errors, inaccuracies or incorrect information resulting from the use of such information.
 
 
70
 
 
(m)            If any Agent shall require any information to perform its duties under the Transaction Documents, the Borrower shall provide such information to such Agent promptly upon request, in each case so long as such information is within the possession of the Borrower and is able to be delivered without breaching any obligations of confidentiality or other contractual or similar restrictions.
 
(n)            At any time and from time to time, the Collateral Agent may request information from the Administrative Agent as to the identity of the Requisite Lenders or any other Lender, and the Administrative Agent will endeavor to provide such information reasonably promptly. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to fully rely on such information from the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty, obligation or liability with respect to the identity or amount of Loans held by any Lender or the calculation of the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and receive from the Administrative Agent all necessary information in respect of each Lender for purposes of making distributions to such Lender hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any action hereunder as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent (or the related Lender) to provide such information to the Collateral Agent.
 
(o)            Each Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to such Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.
 
(p)            No Agent shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be finally proved that the Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
 
(q)            No Agent shall have any duty (1) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents referred to herein or any Financing Statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (2) to see to any insurance or (3) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied in connection with this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2.13).
 
(r)            No Agent nor any of its officers or employees shall be required to ascertain whether any borrowing hereunder (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Borrower is a party (whether or not the Agent is also a party to such other agreement).
 
(s)            No Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Agreement.
 
(t)            No Agent shall be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, any Person's compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Agreement or any other related document.
 
(u)            No Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights vested in it by this Agreement or to enforce any remedy or realize upon any of the Collateral unless (1) it has been directed to take such action by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, and (2) it has been offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. No Agent shall be held liable for any action or inaction taken in accordance with the directions of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders.
 
(v)            No Agent shall have any obligation to determine: (i) if the Collateral Obligation meets the criteria or eligibility restrictions imposed by this Agreement or other Transaction Document or (ii) whether the conditions specified in the definition of "Delivered" under the Pledge and Security Agreement have been complied with.
 
 
71
 
 
(w)            In making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Collateral Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise qualified an Eligible Investment, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder.
 
10.4. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender.
 
The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans (if any), each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any such Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
 
10.5. Lenders' Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.
 
(a)            Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation, without reliance upon any Agent or any other Person, of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any investigation or appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.
 
(b)            Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Loans on the Initial Credit Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Transaction Document and each other document required to be approved by the Requisite Lenders or Lenders or delivered to any Agent, as applicable, on the Initial Credit Date.
 
10.6. Right to Indemnity.
 
Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share (or, if no Loans or Commitments are outstanding, the Pro Rata Share most recently in effect), severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds thereof; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that (1) in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof; and (2) this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. The foregoing shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of an Agent.
 
 
 
72
 
 
10.7. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
 
(a)            The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Agents, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. The Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective, and the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Administrative Agent by the Requisite Lenders or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders. If the Requisite Lenders shall not have appointed a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (if so required) by the end of the period specified above, then the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.
 
(b)            The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time upon at least 30 days' notice with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent signed by the Requisite Lenders. The Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as a successor Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Collateral Agent (which shall be no earlier than 30 days after delivery of such notice of resignation or removal unless agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the Collateral Agent) or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the Collateral Agent. Until a successor Collateral Agent is appointed, any Collateral or other property held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Transaction Documents shall continue to be held by the resigning or removed Collateral Agent as bailee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed (all costs and expenses incurred by such resigning or removed Collateral Agent for holding such Collateral shall be paid by the Borrower). The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the delivery of any Collateral or other property it holds as bailee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the resigning or removed Collateral Agent shall promptly (x) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all Collateral or other property held hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and (y) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to Financing Statements, and take such other actions, as may be requested by the Requisite Lenders (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Collateral Agent resignation or removal hereunder as such Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents while it was such Collateral Agent hereunder.
 
 
73
 
 
(c)            Any Person into which any Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust services business of such Agent shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
 
10.8. Collateral Documents.
 
(a)            Agents under Collateral Documents. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 11.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) is authorized to and shall execute any documents or instruments requested by either (1) the Borrower (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with an Acquisition or Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement and the release of any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition or (2) or otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder) in connection with any other Disposition of assets in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, in the case of clause (1), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent stating that such Acquisition or Disposition of assets is permitted by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that the release of the Lien on such Collateral is authorized by the Transaction Documents (which certificate shall be deemed to have been provided upon the delivery by the Borrower of a Borrower Order in respect of such Acquisition or Disposition), and in the case of clause (2), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent stating that such consent of the Requisite Lenders has been received. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to review or verify whether the Borrower has obtained and delivered the other Custody Documents required for purchase of the Collateral Obligation hereunder.
 
(b)            Right to Realize on Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties, the Agents and each other Secured Party hereby agree that (1) no Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Transaction Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or under any analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a "credit bid" pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or such other Debtor Relief Law) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Requisite Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such Disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such Disposition.
 
 
74
 
 
(c)            Release of Collateral, Termination of Transaction Documents; Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Transaction Document, when all Obligations (other than contingent Obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired (as evidenced by an executed payoff letter and confirmation from the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payoff amounts), the security interest created hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents and all guarantee obligations under the Transaction Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) take such actions as shall be requested in writing by the Borrower to effect such release of its security interest in all Collateral and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Transaction Document. The Borrower shall prepare any such documentation at its expense and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any release under this clause (c). Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
 
10.9. Withholding Taxes.
 
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 2.13(g), if the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
 
10.10. Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.
 
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(a)           to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that complies with such rule's disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
 
(b)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Transaction Documents allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

This Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Agents.
 
11.3. Indemnity.
 
(a)           In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and each of their respective officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates (each, an "Indemnitee"), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities pursuant to the Priority of Payments. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them pursuant to the Priority of Payments. This Section 11.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, or similar amounts arising from any non-Tax claim.
 
 
 
78
 
 
(b)           To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against each Lender and each Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of any Lender or any Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
 
(c)           The Borrower also agrees that no Lender or Agent nor their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents will have any liability to the Borrower or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Borrower or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Borrower or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided that in no event will such Lender or Agent, or their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Lender's or Agent's, or their respective Affiliates', directors', employees', attorneys', agents' or sub-agents' activities related to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto and participations therein or with any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.
 
 
 
79
 
 
11.5. Amendments and Waivers.
 
(a)           Requisite Lenders' Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 11.5(b) and 11.5(c) and the proviso below, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and the Borrower; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days' prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that the Requisite Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to any action or omission as set forth in this Agreement and may grant waivers, concessions and other indulgences in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)           Unanimous Lenders' Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:
 
(1)           extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;
 
(2)           waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);
 
(3)           reduce the rate of interest on any Loan payable hereunder;

(7)           amend the definition of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share";
 
(8)           release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents and except in connection with a "credit bid" undertaken by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or other analogous Debtor Relief Law or other sale or disposition of assets in connection with an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral permitted pursuant to the Transaction Documents (in which case only the consent of the Requisite Lenders will be needed for such release);
 
(9)           change the currency in which any Loan or other Obligation is denominated; or
 
(10)           consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Transaction Document.

Except as set forth in clause (a) above, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent, as applicable.
 
 
80
 
 
(d)           Execution of Amendments, Etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.
 
(e)           Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
 
11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.
 
(a)            Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. Neither the Borrower's rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by the Borrower without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders and other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
(b)           Register. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of a fully executed Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 11.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the fully executed Assignment Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to the Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the related "Assignment Effective Date". Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.6(b), together with Section 2.4(b), shall be construed so that all Commitments and Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or of such Treasury regulations).
 
(c)           Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments) to any Eligible Assignee upon the receipt of consent of the Administrative Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that:
 
 
 
81
 
 
(1)           each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6(c) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the lesser of (I) U.S.$2,500,000, (II) such lesser amount as agreed to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent or (III) the aggregate amount of the Loans and any related Commitments of the assigning Lender; and
 
(2)           no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment by Goldman Sachs (x) pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement) or (y) to any affiliate of Goldman Sachs.
 
(d)            Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to any tax matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.13(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of U.S.$3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to Goldman Sachs or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an assignee that is already a Lender or is an affiliate of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender).
 
(e)            Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Initial Credit Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (1) it is an Eligible Assignee (or, if not an Eligible Assignee, the assignment to it is permitted under this Section 11.6); (2) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; (3) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); and (4) it will not provide any information obtained by it in its capacity as a Lender to the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor.
 
(f)           Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.6, as of the Assignment Effective Date (1) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that, anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (3) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee; and (4) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.
 
 
 
82
 
 
(g)           Participations.
 
(1)           Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Credit Party, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate or any Natural Person) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant's participation interest with respect to the Loans (each, a "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of a participation with respect to the Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
(2)            The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.
 
(3)           The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such participant acquired the participation or unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent; (y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender; and (z) except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.
 
 
83
 
 
(h)           Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 11.6 any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (1) no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and (2) in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
 
11.7. Independence of Covenants.
 
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
 
11.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
 
All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.22 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.15 and 10.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, and the termination hereof.
 
11.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
 
No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
 
11.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.
 
Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
 
84
 
 
11.11. Severability.

11.17. Usury Savings Clause.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders or other Agents and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
 
86
 
 
11.18. Effectiveness; Counterparts.
 
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (i.e., "pdf" or "tif") shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
11.19. PATRIOT Act.
 
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and the other Agents hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent or other Agents, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
 
11.20. Electronic Execution of Assignments.
 
The words "execution", "signed", "signature", and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
 
11.21. No Fiduciary Duty.
 
Each Agent, Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the "Lenders"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Transaction Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

11.22. Judgment Currency.
 
(a)            The Credit Parties' obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to make payments in U.S. Dollars (each, for purposes herein, the "Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Secured Party entitled thereto of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the applicable exchange rate thereof as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date").
 
(b)            If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Credit Parties jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, and each jointly and severally indemnifies the Secured Parties for such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency that could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Credit Parties and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
 
(c)            For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 11.22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

(a)            The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent and each Lender will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information to protect Confidential Information delivered to such Person; provided that such Person may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to: (i) such Person's directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.23 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Loans; (ii) such Person's legal advisors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.23 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Agreement, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Loans; (iii) any other Lender, or any of the other parties to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (iv) any federal or state or other regulatory, governmental or judicial authority having jurisdiction over such Person in the course of any routine examination by such authority; (v) any other Person with the consent of the Borrower; (vi) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Person, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process upon prior notice to the Borrower (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (C) in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party upon prior notice to the Borrower (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (D) to the extent such Person may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (E) in the Collateral Agent's, the Collateral Custodian's or the Administrative Agent's performance of its obligations under this Agreement or other Transaction Document; (vii) any Person of the type that would be, to such Person's knowledge, permitted to acquire Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.6 to which such Person sells or offers to sell any such Loan or any part thereof (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.23); and (viii) with respect to the Collateral Obligation, any actual or prospective transferee of the Collateral Obligation (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.23 with respect to such Confidential Information or has otherwise agreed to be bound by all applicable confidentiality restrictions applicable to such Confidential Information in the Underlying Instruments relating to the Collateral Obligation). Each Lender agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Loans or administering its investment in the Loans; and that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to Lenders any Confidential Information in violation of this Section 11.23. In the event of any required disclosure of the Confidential Information by such Lender, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. The confidentiality obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 11.23 shall terminate with respect to any Confidential Information on the date that is one year after receipt of such Confidential Information.
 
(b)            For the purposes of this Section 11.23, "Confidential Information" means information delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with and relating to the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such term does not include information that: (i) was publicly known or otherwise known to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or beneficial owner prior to the time of such disclosure; (ii) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any person acting on behalf of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (iii) otherwise is known or becomes known to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender other than (x) through disclosure by or on behalf of the Borrower or (y) to the knowledge of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, in each case after reasonable inquiry, as a result of the breach of a fiduciary duty to the Borrower or a contractual duty to the Borrower; or (iv) is allowed to be treated as non-confidential by consent of the Borrower.
 
 
89
 
 
(c)            The Borrower will not (and will not permit any of its affiliates to) disclose the terms of the Margining Agreement, unless in each case the Borrower (1) determines that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act or any other applicable law and (2) gives advance written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 12. SUBORDINATION
 
(a)            Anything in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower agrees for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agents that the rights of the Equity Holders to distributions by the Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including any payment from Proceeds of Collateral, shall be subordinate and junior to the Obligations, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement including as set forth in Section 7 and hereinafter provided. If any Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7 to the contrary, interest on and principal of and other amounts owing in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations shall be paid in full in Cash (in order of priority) before any further payment or distribution is made on account of the Equity Holders.
 
(b)            If notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of any Subordinate Interests shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, then, unless and until either the Obligations shall have been paid in full in Cash in accordance with this Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be received and held for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Collateral Agent, which shall pay and deliver the same to the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 12.
 
(c)            The Borrower agrees with all Lenders that the Borrower shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests in violation of the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 12. Nothing in this Section 12 shall affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay holders of Subordinate Interests.
 
(d)            In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Lender under this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Lender or Lenders shall not have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Lender, the Borrower or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Lender may be subject to the extent the same results from such Lender's taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Agreement.
 
SECTION 13. COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN
 
(a)            Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of Collateral Custodian with respect to the Custody Documents shall be conducted by the Person designated as Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 13. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
 
90
 
 
(b)            Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian's receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice from the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of clause (i) below, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder.
 
(c)            Appointment. The Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby appoint U.S. Bank National Association to act as Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.
 
(d)            Duties. From the Closing Date until its resignation pursuant to clause (n) below or its removal pursuant to clause (i) below, the Collateral Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:
 
(1)           The Collateral Custodian shall at all times hold all Custody Documents that constitute Escrowed Assignment Agreement Documents in physical form at one of its offices in the United States (for purposes hereof, the "Custodial Office"), initially at its office identified on Appendix B; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the only Custody Documents required to be held in physical custody by the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement are the Escrowed Assignment Agreement Documents. The Collateral Custodian may change the Custodial Office at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Borrower, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent, provided that the replacement Custodial Office shall be an office of the Bank located in the United States. All Custody Documents held by the Collateral Custodian in physical custody shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent upon prior written request and during normal business hours of the Collateral Custodian. Any such inspection shall occur no earlier than five Business Days after such inspection is requested and the costs of such inspection shall be borne by the requesting party. The Administrative Agent (including its representatives and designees) may not request more than two inspections per year or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing no more than once a month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to hold or accept custody of any Custody Document hereunder to the extent such Custody Document is of a type not approved for deposit into the custodial vault of the Collateral Custodian; provided that (1) the Collateral Custodian notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to refusing to hold such documents and (2) the failure of the Collateral Custodian to accept and hold such documents shall not result in a default or an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower hereunder (provided that copies of such documents shall have been delivered by the Borrower to or otherwise made available to the Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to review or provide any certifications in respect of Custody Documents provided to it.
 
(2)           In taking and retaining custody of any such Custody Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that (x) the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection, enforceability or priority of any Lien on such Custody Documents or the instruments therein or as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such Custody Documents; and (y) the Collateral Custodian's duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.
 
(3)           All Custody Documents required to be held by the Collateral Custodian in physical custody shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the Custodial Office and shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate such Custody Documents on its inventory system and will not commingle any such physical Custody Documents with any other files of the Collateral Custodian other than those, if any, relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates.
 
 
91
 
 
(4)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.
 
(e)           Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) and deliver any Escrowed Assignment Agreement Documents to the Collateral Agent (pursuant to a written request) as requested in order to take any action that the Requisite Lenders deem necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral Agent to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. If the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Administrator or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received by the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Requisite Lenders.
 

(f)            Requisite Lenders. The Requisite Lenders may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any action incidental to its duties hereunder. With respect to other actions that are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Requisite Lenders; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Requisite Lenders, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any applicable law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). If the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Requisite Lenders within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. The Collateral Agent may accept and act upon directions provided by the Administrative Agent as if such directions were provided by the Requisite Lenders directly. The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian.
 
(g)            Merger/Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.
 
 
92
 
 
(h)            Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to compensation as set forth in the Bank Party Fee Letter. The Collateral Custodian's entitlement to receive such compensation shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (a) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to clause (i) below, (b) its resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to clause (n) below or (c) the termination of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall remain entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable under the terms of this Agreement, any compensation accrued prior to the release of all Custody Documents from the custody of the Collateral Custodian.
 
(i)            Removal. The Collateral Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Requisite Lenders by notice (with a copy to the Borrower and the Administrator) given in writing to the Collateral Custodian (the "Collateral Custodian Termination Notice"); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as it continues to act in such capacity, shall continue to receive the compensation and any other amounts to which it is entitled to receive in such capacity under the terms of this Agreement and the Bank Party Fee Letter) until a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed (with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder.
 
(j)            Reliance. The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, instrument, opinion, report, letter or other paper or document furnished to it in accordance with this Agreement, which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed or presented by the proper party (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of the Borrower shall be an Authorized Officer) or parties. The Collateral Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document, provided that, if the form thereof is specifically prescribed by the terms of this agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to the requirements set forth herein. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon the written instructions of the Requisite Lenders.
 
(k)            Rights of the Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel selected with due care and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence of its obligations. The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian. The duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Collateral Custodian shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. No implied duties, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement against, or on the part of, the Collateral Custodian. Any permissive right of the Collateral Custodian to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty. The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.
 
93
 
 
(l)            Request for Directions. In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may request instructions from the Requisite Lenders, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Requisite Lenders. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Requisite Lenders. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
 
(m)            Responsibilities. The Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Custody Document while such Custody Document is not in its possession. The Collateral Custodian may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder either directly or, by or through its agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Custodian shall not be liable or responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any non-Affiliated agent or non-Affiliated attorney appointed with due care by it. If the Collateral Custodian is prevented from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement as a result of governmental or regulatory actions, government regulations, fires, strikes, accidents, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such circumstances and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible, and the Collateral Custodian's obligations shall be suspended for a reasonable time during which such conditions exist.
 
(n)            Resignation. The Collateral Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving not less than 90 days written notice thereof to the Requisite Lenders (with a copy to the Administrator and the Borrower) and with the consent of the Requisite Lenders. Upon receiving notice of such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Custodian (with the consent of the Borrower) by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by the Requisite Lenders, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian so resigning and one copy to the successor Collateral Custodian, together with a copy to the Borrower, the Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Requisite Lenders give the Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any reasonable and documented costs and expenses the Collateral Custodian may incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the Custody Documents in the possession of Collateral Custodian to the successor Collateral Custodian. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian may not resign prior to a successor Collateral Custodian being appointed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable in accordance with this Agreement and any compensation accrued through the effective date of its resignation pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 13.
 
(o)            Release of Custody Documents. Upon payment in full of the Obligations hereunder, the Borrower shall, by delivery to the Collateral Custodian of a request for release substantially in the form of Exhibit H, countersigned and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, direct the release of the related Custody Documents for such Collateral Obligation which are held by the Collateral Custodian in physical custody pursuant to this Section 13. Upon receipt of such direction, the Collateral Custodian shall release the related Custody Documents to the Borrower (or as otherwise provided in the related release request) and the Borrower will not be required to return the related Custody Documents to the Collateral Custodian. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Custody Documents in the performance of the Collateral Custodian's duties under this clause (o) shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Custody Documents hereunder. If the Collateral Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Administrator, the Collateral Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to Borrower a nationally recognized courier service. The Administrator shall arrange for the provision of such services at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Custody Documents as the Administrator deems appropriate.
 
94
 
 
(p)            Collateral Custodian as Agent. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Custody Documents at any time or times in its possession, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC.
 
(q)            Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Custodian and its directors, officers, employees, agents and assigns from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities in connection with the Collateral Custodian entering into this Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder. This clause (q) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian hereunder.

Exhibit D-4
 
 
Section 2. Margining.
 
(a)            Margin Demands. If at any time the Current LTV is greater than the Advance Rate (a "Collateral Deficit"), and the related Deficient Amount is in excess of the Holiday Amount at such time, then the Calculation Agent may by notice (a "Margin Funding Notice") to the Borrower require the Borrower to deposit in the Margin Account cash in U.S. dollars, in an amount equal to such Deficient Amount.
 
If any Margin Funding Notice is given to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deposit cash in U.S. Dollars in the Margin Account no later than the applicable Margin Funding Deadline.
 
The Calculation Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide daily notice to the Borrower of the Asset Current Price for the Collateral Obligation; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not constitute a breach or default by the Calculation Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents.
 
(b)            Return of Margin. If at any time the Current LTV is less than the Advance Rate (a "Collateral Excess"), and the related Excess Cure Collateral Refund Amount is in excess of the Holiday Amount at such time, then, so long as immediately before and after giving effect thereto (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and (B) no Collateral Deficit shall have occurred and remain unsatisfied, upon written notice from the Borrower to the Calculation Agent (such notice, a "Refund Request Notice") (which notice shall be deemed to be a certification from the Borrower that the foregoing requirements of clause (A) and (B) are satisfied), the Borrower may request that the Calculation Agent direct the Collateral Agent to (x) transfer funds from the Margin Account to the Collection Account and/or (y) remit funds from the Margin Account to the Equity Holders, in an aggregate amount not exceeding such Excess Cure Collateral Refund Amount (any such uses of Margin Account funds, "Permitted Uses").
 
If any Refund Request Notice is given to the Calculation Agent at or before the Margin Funding Notice Deadline on any Business Day, the Calculation Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to (and the Collateral Agent shall) transfer funds on deposit in the Margin Account in an amount equal to the Excess Cure Collateral Refund Amount no later than 6:00 p.m. (New York city time) on the next Business Day following such notice in Permitted Uses as so directed by the Borrower. If any Refund Request Notice is given to the Calculation Agent after the Margin Funding Notice Deadline on any Business Day, the Calculation Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to (and the Collateral Agent shall) transfer funds on deposit in the Margin Account in an amount equal to the Excess Cure Collateral Refund Amount no later than 6:00 p.m. (New York city time) on the second Business Day following such notice in Permitted Uses as so directed by the Borrower.
 
(c)            Dispute Resolution, Etc. If the Borrower in good faith and in writing (a "Dispute Notice"):
 
(1)           disputes the Asset Current Price of the Collateral Obligation as determined by the Calculation Agent as of any Business Day (each, a "Disputed Collateral Obligation"), and sets forth in such Dispute Notice the valuation proposed by the Sponsor in respect of such Disputed Collateral Obligation (the related "Sponsor Valuation"); or
 
Exhibit D-5
 
 
(2)           disputes the calculation of a Collateral Deficit or Collateral Excess, and sets forth in such Dispute Notice the calculation proposed by the Sponsor in respect of such Collateral Deficit or Collateral Excess (the related "Sponsor Deficit/Excess Calculation"), then for so long as such Dispute is continuing (and provided that no Event of Default, Monetary Default or Other Material Default with respect to the Borrower occurs or is then continuing), upon the request of the Borrower, the Calculation Agent and the Borrower will work together in good faith to resolve such Dispute. Each dispute referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above is referred to herein as a "Dispute", and the date on which the Calculation Agent receives such Dispute Notice, the related "Dispute Notice Date". If any such Dispute relates to the Asset Current Price of a Disputed Collateral Obligation and, during the pendency of such Dispute, the Borrower provides the Calculation Agent with a Firm Bid for such Disputed Collateral Obligation from one or more unaffiliated third parties, then for so long as such Firm Bid is actionable (by the Borrower, with respect to the portion thereof constituting a cash bid for the purchase of such Disputed Collateral Obligation, and by the Calculation Agent, with respect to the portion thereof constituting a synthetic bid to provide credit protection for such Disputed Collateral Obligation), the Asset Current Price for such Collateral Obligation shall be the price (expressed as a percentage of par but excluding any accrued interest) set forth in such Firm Bid (and, in connection therewith, any calculation of Collateral Deficit and Collateral Excess shall be revised to reflect such Firm Bid). At all other times during the pendency of such Dispute the Asset Current Price for such Disputed Collateral Obligation shall be the Asset Current Price determined by the Calculation Agent, it being understood that the Borrower shall at all times during the pendency of each Dispute be required to comply with its obligations under clause (a) above based upon the determinations made by Calculation Agent.

(f)           generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Appointing Party's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that may be reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) of the Credit Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the relevant Appointing Party might do.
 
Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any affiliate thereof, shall incur any liability to any Appointing Party or any other Person in connection with any sale effected in accordance with this power of attorney, the terms of any Credit Document (except, in each case, as provided in the relevant Credit Document).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto each acknowledge and agree that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact of any such Appointing Party hereunder shall (along with all authority to act and/or execute any instrument granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder) cease immediately upon the cure or waiver of all Events of Default under the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Nothing in this power of attorney precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

Form of Fusion Assignment Consent Letter
 
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May [__], 2018 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement") by and among [BORROWER], as borrower (the "Borrower"); the Lenders party thereto from time to time (the "Lenders"); GOLDMAN SACHS LENDING PARTNERS LLC, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"); and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent") and as Collateral Custodian (in such capacity, the "Collateral Custodian"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
 
The undersigned (the "Consenting Party") acknowledges that the Borrower is and will be the record owner of Tranche B Term Loans issued by the undersigned in an initial principal amount of U.S.$[__]3 (the "Collateral Obligation"), which has been pledged to the Collateral Agent to secure the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Obligations referred to therein.
 
The Consenting Party further acknowledges that, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent (for itself or on behalf of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement) may from time to time have the right, on behalf of the Borrower, to cause the Borrower to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of their rights in and to any or all of the Collateral Obligation, whether pursuant to the exercise of remedies or otherwise (each such sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition, an "Assignment", with the term "Assign" to have a correlative meaning), in each case in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Transaction Documents.
 
In order to more fully effectuate the rights of the Collateral Agent (for purposes hereof, the "Beneficiary Party") in connection with any Assignment of any or all of the Collateral Obligation, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged:
 
(a)           The Consenting Party hereby consents, in advance, to each Assignment by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether in connection with a redemption, pursuant to the exercise of remedies by the Beneficiary Party, the Lenders, or otherwise) of any interest in the Collateral Obligation (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower) to any "Eligible Assignee" under and as defined in the Underlying Instruments (except for any entity or entities agreed between Fusion and the Administrative Agent in writing on or prior to the Closing Date) that is identified in writing to the Borrower and the Consenting Party by the Beneficiary Party in connection with the Assignment of such interest in the Collateral Obligation (each, an "Identified Assignee"), and agrees, in advance, to treat such Identified Assignee as a permissible assignee under the credit agreement governing the terms of the Collateral Obligation; provided that such Assignment is made in accordance with the Underlying Instruments (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, receipt of consent to such Assignment by the Consenting Party, which consent is being granted hereby).
 
(b)           The Consenting Party further agrees from time to time, upon the request of the Beneficiary Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Consenting Party, to take such other action and execute such other documents as the Beneficiary Party may reasonably require in order to more fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:
 
 
Exhibit F-1
 
 
(1)           the Consenting Party hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Beneficiary Party upon request of the Beneficiary Party, in blank, one or more assignment agreements or other instruments of transfer (each, an "Assignment Agreement") for each Collateral Obligation in the form required under the related Underlying Instruments or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Beneficiary Party from time to time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the execution and delivery by the Consenting Party of an Assignment Agreement in blank or any other provision of this Agreement, no Assignment of a Collateral Obligation may be made by the Beneficiary Party other than to an Identified Assignee in accordance with clause (a) above);
 
(2)           
at the time of each actual Assignment of an interest in the Collateral Obligation to an Identified Assignee, the Consenting Party shall, upon request of the Beneficiary Party, promptly execute and deliver such actual Assignment Agreements; and
 
(3)           
the Consenting Party shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith with the Beneficiary Party in connection with each such Assignment (including, to the extent it has the responsibility or authority under the Underlying Instruments to do so, to cause any applicable registrar to enter such Assignment in the register of lenders under such Underlying Instruments).
 
The Consenting Party hereby agrees that a Confidentiality Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 hereto, duly executed and delivered by an Identified Assignee, satisfies the requirements of Section 10.17 of the Underlying Credit Agreement. The Consenting Party hereby agrees that it will not change the list of "Disqualified Institution" under the Underlying Credit Agreement without the consent of the Administrative Agent.
 
This Agreement will be effective and binding as of the date on which each party hereto has executed and delivered counterpart signature pages of this Agreement to the other party. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of a counterpart by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. This Agreement and any right, remedy, obligation, claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
 
In connection with the execution of this Agreement and the exercise of rights hereunder, the Beneficiary Party shall be entitled to all of its respective rights, protections, immunities and benefits provided in the Credit Agreement.

We have been advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement.
 
Accordingly, we agree to hold all Confidential Information (as defined below) obtained by us in accordance with our customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by you that, in any event, we may disclose Confidential Information:
 
(a) 
to our and to our Related Parties, to respective Related Parties of the Agents and the Lenders, to independent auditors and to other advisors, experts or agents who need to know such Confidential Information (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential or shall otherwise be subject to an obligation of confidentiality);
 
(b) 
to any potential or prospective assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or other Obligations or any participations therein or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and their obligations (provided that such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement or other provisions at least as restrictive as such Section 10.17 or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, and the Borrower, including pursuant to the confidentiality terms set forth in the Confidential Information Memorandum or other marketing materials relating to the credit facilities governed by the Credit Agreement; and provided further that without the Borrower's prior written consent, no such disclosure may be made to any Disqualified Institution);
 
 
Exhibit F-1-1
 
 
(c) 
on a confidential basis, to any rating agency;
 
(d) 
on a confidential basis, to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans;
 
(e) 
for purposes of establishing a "due diligence" defense or in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document;
 
(f) 
as required by law or pursuant to legal or judicial process (in which case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, we shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower promptly thereof);
 
(g) 
as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or by any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization) having jurisdiction or claiming to have jurisdiction over us or any of our Affiliates;
 
(h) 
received by us on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Borrower or its Affiliates or Related Parties) not known by us to be prohibited from disclosing such information to such persons by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation;
 
(i) 
to the extent that such information was already in our possession or any of our Affiliates or is independently developed by us or any of our Affiliates and
 
(j) 
with the consent of the Borrower.
 
For purposes of the foregoing, "Confidential Information" means any non-public information regarding the business, assets, liabilities and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries obtained by us under the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that such information, at the time the same is delivered to us, is clearly identified by the Borrower as confidential.
 
In addition, we understand that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement, we may disclose the existence of the Credit Agreement and the information about the Credit Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement binding on us, we may disclose Confidential Information as provided herein and as provided in Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement.
 
Our obligations hereunder with respect to any Confidential Information will expire one year after our receipt of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require that we return or destroy any Confidential Information that we reasonably deem to be appropriate to be retained in our files in accordance with customary banking practices.
 
This Confidentiality Agreement and any right, remedy, obligation, claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles that would lead to the application of laws other than the law of the State of New York.
