Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR,” in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.2.

SECTION 2.5       Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)           Benchmark Replacement.

(i)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.5(a)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii)          No swap agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.5).

(c)       Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.5(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.5.

(d)         Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Com-missions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)          Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

SECTION 3.1      Applicable Currency for Repayments and Prepayments; Pro Rata Application.  The Borrower agrees that the Loans, and any fees or interest accrued or accruing thereon, shall be repaid and prepaid solely in Dollars. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each payment (including each repayment and prepayment) by the Borrower will be deemed to be made ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders, and upon receipt of any such payment the Agent will promptly thereafter distribute like funds relating to any such payment to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

The provisions of this Section 3.10 shall not be deemed to constitute implied consent to any such issuance, sale, acquisition or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.1       Increased Costs.

(a)           Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)         impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in Adjusted Term SOFR);

(ii)        subject any Recipient to any Taxes (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; or

(iii)        impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)        Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)         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, as the case may be, 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).

SECTION 4.2     Compensation for Losses.  In the event of (a)  the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 4.3      Taxes.

(a)          Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)          Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of a Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any Withholding Agent, then such Withholding Agent 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, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  Each Credit Party agrees that, without duplication, it shall, or shall cause the appropriate Credit Party to, timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)        Indemnification by Credit Parties.  Each Credit Party agrees that, without duplication, it shall, or shall cause the appropriate Credit Party to, indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Credit Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)         Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.11(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan 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.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).

(g)          Status of Lenders.

(i)          Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in such 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.

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)        any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)        any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E; or

(4)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3 hereto, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)         if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)          Treatment of Certain Refunds.  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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 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) in the event that 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 with respect to such Tax 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.

(i)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 4.4       Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc.  The parties hereto agree as follows:

(a)         Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to such account as the Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower.  Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.  All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days.  Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

(b)        All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable Law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the payment of all other Obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them), and (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), and following the Termination Date, to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

SECTION 4.5      Setoff.  Each Lender and the Agent shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of Section 9.1(h) or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries hereby grants to each Lender and the Agent a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) or moneys of each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries then or thereafter maintained with such Lender or the Agent, as applicable.  Each Lender and the Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such appropriation and application made by such Lender or the Agent, as applicable; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and the Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable Law or otherwise) which such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, may have.

SECTION 4.6       Inability to Determine Rates.  Subject to Section 2.5, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(a)          the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(b)        the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have con-verted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.2. Subject to Section 2.5, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Agent revokes such determination.

SECTION 4.7      Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that, (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this subsection will apply).

SECTION 10.3    Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)         The Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder are administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

SECTION 10.5   Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The 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.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article X will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facility as well as activities as the Agent.  The Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 10.6    Resignation of Agent.

(a)          The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders will have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default is in existence), to appoint a successor.  If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as will be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent), and the retiring Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X, Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as the Agent.

SECTION 10.8  Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any insolvency proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)         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 hereunder or under any other Loan Document to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 11.3 and 11.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(a)          In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders, the Credit Parties hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify, agree to defend, exonerate and hold the Agent, the Lenders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities, obligations and damages, and expenses incurred in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys’ and professionals’ fees and disbursements, of one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, another counsel for each such affected Indemnified Party), and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, whether incurred in connection with actions between the parties hereto or the parties hereto and third parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) the entering into and performance of any Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties or (ii) any Environmental Liability, any actual or alleged breach of or non-compliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, any Hazardous Materials, or any other decision, act, omission or matter relating to the environment, natural resources, health, safety or welfare; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (B) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of any Credit Party and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against the Agent in its capacity as such).

(b)          If and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification may be unenforceable for any reason, the Credit Parties agree to, jointly and severally, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereunder shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereunder, 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 Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnified Party 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 Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.  This Section 11.4 shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)          Reimbursement by the Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under Section 11.3 or subsection (a) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Affiliate thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Affiliate, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Affiliate acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (b) are subject to the provisions of Section 11.6.

SECTION 11.5    Survival.  The obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 11.3, Section 11.4 and this Section 11.5, shall in each case survive any assignment by the Lender and the occurrence of the Termination Date.  The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in each Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of such Loan Document.

SECTION 11.6   Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders under the Loan Documents are several. The failure of any Lender or the Agent to carry out its obligations thereunder will not relieve any other Lender or the Agent of any obligations thereunder, nor will any Lender or the Agent be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other Person hereunder or thereunder. Nothing contained in any Loan Documents will be deemed to cause any Lender or the Agent to be considered a partner or a joint venture with any other Lender or Lenders or the Agent.

SECTION 11.7   Severability.  Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.8    Headings.  The various headings of each Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of such Loan Document or any provisions thereof.

SECTION 11.9    Execution, Effectiveness, Etc.

(a)         Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.

(b)          Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders shall have been received by the Agent.

(c)         Electronic Signatures.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email (e.g. “pdf” or “tiff”) or telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Any signature (including, without limitation, (x) any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record and (y) any facsimile or “pdf” signature) hereto or the other Loan Documents or to any other certificate, agreement or document related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document, and any contract formation or record-keeping, in each case, through electronic means, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary.

SECTION 11.10  Governing Law; Entire Agreement.  EACH LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).  THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

SECTION 11.11   Register; Successors and Assigns.

(a)          The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Credit Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)          This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that, the Credit Parties may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.  The Lenders may freely assign, participate or otherwise transfer any or all of their rights and/or obligations hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents; provided that, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or related funds, (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no assignment, sale or participation to a Competitor or Disqualified Institution without the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent to be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within five (5) Business Days of a request for such consent), and (ii) any such assignment, sale or participation shall (when aggregated with all other substantially simultaneous assignments, sales and participations) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s then outstanding Loans). In the event of any assignment, the Lender making such assignment shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Agent so such assignment can be reflected on the Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent 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.  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 such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.3(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.3(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3, with respect to any participation, than its participating lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

SECTION 11.12  Other Transactions.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Agent or any of the Lenders, from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates in which such Credit Party or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.  ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS (OR ANY OF THEM), OR ANY CREDIT PARTY (OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES) IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT, ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT’S OR SUCH LENDER’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.  EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 11.2.  EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE AGENT, EACH OF THE LENDERS, AND THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THE CREDIT PARTIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 11.15  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.16  Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)          a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)       the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 11.17   Judgment Currency.

(a)         If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency (the “first currency”) into another currency (the “other currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at the applicable buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

(b)         The obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of any sum due to the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in Dollars, the Credit Parties agree, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Agent in Dollars, the Agent shall remit such excess to the Credit Parties.

SECTION 11.18   Early Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the Early Prepayment Fee and/or the Exit Fee is applicable to any repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loan at any time, such Early Prepayment Fee and/or the Exit Fee is not intended to be a penalty assessed as a result of any such repayment or prepayment of the Loans, but rather is the product of a good faith, arm’s length commercial negotiation between the Borrower and the Lenders relating to the mutually satisfactory compensation payable to the Lenders by the Borrower in respect of the Loans made hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Credit Parties hereby jointly and severally waive any rights or claims any of them may have under any such applicable Law (whether or not in effect on the Closing Date) that would prohibit or restrict the payment of the Early Prepayment Fee and/or the Exit Fee under any of the circumstances provided herein or in any other Loan Document, including payment after acceleration of the Loans.

SECTION 11.19  USA PATRIOT Act.  The Agent and the Lenders hereby notify the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are 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 shall allow such Person to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Promptly following any written request therefor, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such information and documentation in respect of any Credit Party reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender for purposes of compliance by the Agent or such Lender with applicable “know your customer” requirements under the Patriot Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other applicable anti-money laundering laws.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, regardless of whether such Information is marked or indicated as being confidential (provided the confidentiality of such Information is reasonably apparent on its face), other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Information includes, but is not limited to, technical, marketing, financial, personnel, planning, statistical, pricing, purchasing, product and health care data and information, customer, member and supplier lists and information, and other non-public, proprietary and confidential information, including cost and pricing data, operations, systems, programs, inventions, techniques, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property, processes, analyses, plans, designs, financial information and marketing information, any other information of or relating to the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business, and any analysis, compilation, study, notes, copies, summaries, derivative works, reports or other material prepared by the Agent or Lender (regardless of the form in which it is maintained) that contains or otherwise reflects any information disclosed or made available by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Agent or Lender (collectively, “Derivatives”).  Confidential Information may be disclosed orally, in writing, by visual observation, electronically or fixed in any tangible medium of expression. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information, and promptly notifies the Credit Parties upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Information.  Agent and the Lenders shall be responsible for the breach of this Agreement by any Person to whom Information is disclosed pursuant to this Agreement.

Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that they may become aware of material, non-public information concerning the Credit Parties in the course of the discussions and negotiations contemplated herein.  Accordingly, Agent and the Lenders agree not to: (i) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way assist any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in any trading of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) of the Credit Parties, (ii) disclose or “tip” material, non-public information concerning the Credit Parties to any person or entity, (iii) give trading advice of any kind to any person or entity concerning the Credit Parties or (iv) except with the prior written consent of the Credit Parties, take any action that might force the other Credit Parties to make a public announcement under applicable securities laws.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of all Obligations, Agent and the Lenders shall promptly return to the Credit Parties all copies of the Information of Discloser then in its possession; provided, however, that Agent and the Lenders may promptly destroy any Information in its possession (including, without limitation, any Derivatives) in lieu of returning such materials.  Agent and the Lenders hereby agree to certify in a letter to the Credit Parties that such return or destruction required hereunder have been accomplished.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and the Lenders may retain a copy of Information in its confidential legal files.  Agent and the Lenders’ obligation to maintain the confidentiality of Information shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement.

No license or other right under any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, know-how or other intellectual property right is being granted by any Credit Party hereunder except the right to use Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  All Information is provided “AS IS” and without any warranty, express, implied or otherwise regarding its accuracy or performance.

SECTION 12.1   The Guarantee.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and any other Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date hereby guarantees to the Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the full and prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including all unpaid principal of the Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees due under this Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or in connection herewith.  The terms “indebtedness,” “liabilities” and “obligations” are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim in any insolvency proceeding and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any insolvency proceeding naming such Credit Party or such Subsidiary as the debtor in such insolvency proceeding.  The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower, and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to be paid or performed by the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with this Section 12.1 shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

SECTION 12.2   Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 12.1 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 12.1 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a)          at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b)          any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;

(c)         the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(d)          any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

SECTION 12.3   Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article XII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it will indemnify the Agent and the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 12.4   Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), no Subsidiary Guarantor shall directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Article XII, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Article XII or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Agent or any Lender as against the Borrower or other Credit Parties (or any of their Subsidiaries), whether in connection with this Article XII, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise.  If any amount shall be paid to the Subsidiary Guarantors on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 12.5   Remedies.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that, as between any Subsidiary Guarantor, on one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) for purposes of Section 12.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 12.1.

SECTION 12.6   Instrument for the Payment of Money.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by any Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

SECTION 12.7   Continuing Guarantee.  The guarantee in this Article XII is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XII shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.  The guarantee in this Article XII shall continue in effect and be binding upon the Subsidiary Guarantors until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted).

SECTION 12.8  General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.  In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 12.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 12.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
