7



 

(b)                                  Without limiting Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each and all of the Agents and Lenders (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all accounts, covenants, agreements, obligations, claims, debts, liabilities, offsets, demands, costs, expenses, actions or causes of action of every nature, character and description, whether arising at law or equity or under statute, regulation or otherwise, and whether liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or noncontingent, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (“Claims”), arising from or made under any legal theory, which any of Indemnified Parties may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of or in relation to any acts or omissions of any Borrower or any Guarantor arising from or relating to any of: (i) the Loan Documents; (ii) this Amendment; or (iii) any documents executed by any Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with this Amendment.  Should any Indemnified Party incur any such Claims, or defense of or response to any Claims or demand related thereto, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the amounts due under the Loan Documents, and shall be secured by any and all liens created under and pursuant to the Loan Documents.  This indemnity shall survive until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the termination, release or discharge of any Borrower and any Guarantor.  To the extent permissible under applicable law, this indemnity shall not limit any other rights of indemnification, subrogation or assignment, whether explicit, implied, legal or equitable, that any Indemnified Party may have; provided that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification to the extent that a Claim arises out of the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

11.                                 Miscellaneous.
