(d) Any and all amounts due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which remain unpaid more than ten (10) days after the date said amount was due and payable shall incur a fee (the Late Charge) in the amount equal to the greater of (i) four percent (4%) of said unpaid amount, or (ii) $50.00, which payment shall be in addition to all of the Agents and the Lenders other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.
(e) Anything in this Agreement or any of the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to any Lender to the extent that such Lenders receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to such Lender limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. Any such payments of interest that are not made as a result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrower to such Lender on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to such Lender limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. Such deferred interest shall not bear interest.
Section 2.7 Fees. |
(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, a non-refundable upfront fee (the Underwriting Fee), as set forth in a separate written agreement dated June 30, 2011 (the Fee Letter).
(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to their respective Revolving Percentage, a quarterly facility fee (the Facility Fee) on an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference of (A) the daily average amount of such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment for such quarterly period (such quarterly period beginning on the first day of each such quarter to and ending on (and including) the earlier of (1) the date such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated, (2) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and (3) the last day of such quarter, minus (B) the daily average amount of such Lenders Revolving Exposure (the difference between the amounts in (b)(i)(A) and the amounts in (b)(i)(B) above is referred to herein as the Facility Usage), multiplied by (ii) such quarters portion of the annual Facility Fee Percentage (i.e., 0.50% divided by 360 days and multiplied by the actual number of days in the then current quarter). The accrued Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Monthly Dates, and also on the earlier of (i) the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated, or (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and in the event the Borrower reduces the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as provided in subsection 2.5(b) hereof, on the effective date of such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Facility Fee shall not be due for any quarter when the average aggregate Facility Usage is greater than sixty-five percent (65%).
(c) The Underwriting Fee and the Facility Fee, and any Extension Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.24 are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a Fee and collectively as the Fees.
Section 2.8 Use of Proceeds of Loans. |
The proceeds of the Loans hereunder may be used by the Borrower solely to (a) acquire, finance or re-finance Eligible Facilities, and (b) for such other incidental purposes as approved by Agent and Required Lenders in their sole discretion (including, without limitation, the payment of Fees and also the acquisition of Facilities that are not Eligible Facilities to the extent such Facilities are not required for the Borrowing Base).

Except for borrowings, conversions and repayments that exhaust the full remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of borrowings) or result in the conversion or repayment of all Loans of a particular Type (in the case of conversions or repayments) or conversions made pursuant to Section 2.17, subsection 2.18(b) or Section 2.20 hereof, each borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan from each Lender, each conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type and each repayment of principal of Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) Dollars, in the case of Base Rate Loans, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) Dollars, in the case of Prime Rate Loans, and Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and in each case if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars (borrowings, conversions and repayments of different Types of Loans at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and repayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type). The Agent and the Borrower may make immaterial mutually convenient adjustments to the thresholds and multiples set forth above in respect of LIBOR Loans.

Additional provisions relating to payments are set forth in Section 10.3 hereof.

Section 2.14 Pro Rata Treatment Among Lenders. |
Except as otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1 hereof will be made from the Lenders and each payment of each Fee (other than the Underwriting Fee) shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata according to the amount of their respective Revolving Percentage; (b) each partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders pro rata according to each Lenders respective Revolving Percentage; (c) each payment and repayment of principal of or interest on Revolving Credit Loans will be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lenders; and (d) each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans of a particular Type under Section 2.17 hereof (other than conversions provided for by Section 2.20 or 2.21 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Loans of such Type according to the respective principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lenders.

Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments and Set-Off Among Lenders. |
The Borrower hereby agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, bankers lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of its Loans hereunder or any Fee payable to it, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided that its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Lender shall effect payment of any principal of or interest or Fee on Loans held by it under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, bankers lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest or Fee on the Loans held by each of them. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans held by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.
Section 2.17 Conversion of Loans; Special Provisions re Prime Rate Loans. |
(a) The Borrower shall have the right to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type from time to time, provided that: (i) the Borrower shall give the Agent notice of each such conversion as provided in Section 2.2 hereof; (ii) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans; and (iii) no Base Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan continued as or converted into another LIBOR Loan if on the proposed date of conversion a Default or an Event of Default exists. The Agent shall use its best efforts to notify the Borrower of the effectiveness of such conversion, and the new interest rate to which the converted Loans are subject, as soon as practicable after the conversion; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the (i) Borrowers obligations, or the Agents or the Lenders rights and remedies, hereunder in any way whatsoever, or (ii) conversion of such Loan into a different Type of Loan.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Prime Rate Loan may be outstanding as a Prime Rate Loan for more than thirty (30) days. If any Prime Rate Loan is not converted to another Type of Loan within thirty (30) days of the initial advance (or conversion) thereof, then such Prime Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan on the 31st day after the initial advance (or conversion) thereof.
Section 2.18 Additional Costs; Capital Requirements. |
(a) In the event that any existing or future law or regulation, guideline or interpretation thereof, by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority (foreign or domestic) charged with the administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority shall impose, modify or deem applicable or result in the application of, any capital maintenance, capital ratio or similar requirement against loan commitments made by any Lender hereunder, and the result of any event referred to above is to impose upon any Lender or increase any capital requirement applicable as a result of the making or maintenance of such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (which imposition of capital requirements may be determined by each Lenders reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such capital increases or impositions), then, within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand made by such Lender as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such law, regulation, guideline, interpretation, request or directive exists and determines to make such demand, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such imposition of or increase in capital requirements together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any Lender shall be deemed to include any participant in such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment.
(b) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the Notes in respect of any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender for any such Loans by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office); or (ii) impose or modify any reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Base Rate in Article I hereof); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans, including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase such Lenders costs of making or maintaining any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans, or its Revolving Credit Commitment, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as Additional Costs) in each case, only to the extent, with respect to LIBOR Loans, that such Additional Costs are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate applicable to LIBOR Loans, then, within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand made by such Lender as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a Regulatory Change exists and determines to make such demand (a copy of which demand shall be delivered to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amounts receivable by such Lender from the date of such change, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any Lender shall be deemed to include any participant in such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment.
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes LIBOR Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make, and to convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (and all Loans of such Type then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans or into LIBOR Loans of another duration as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21).
(d) Determinations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.18 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be set forth in writing in reasonable detail describing the Additional Costs together with a calculation demonstrating the allocation to the Borrower of such Additional Costs.
Section 2.19 Limitation on Types of Loans. |
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any Interest Period therefor, the Required Lenders reasonably determine:
(a) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans under this Agreement; or
(b) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Base Rate in Article 1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such period;
then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Loans of such Type or to convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of the affected Type either repay such Loans in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof or convert such Loan into Loans of another Type in accordance with Section 2.17 hereof.
Section 2.20 Illegality. |
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to: (a) honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans hereunder, or (b) maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent), describing such illegality in reasonable detail (and shall thereafter promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of the cessation, if any, of such illegality), and such Lenders obligation to make LIBOR Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall, upon written notice given by such Lender to the Borrower, be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans and such Lenders outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21 hereof.
Section 2.21 Certain Conversions pursuant to Sections 2.18 and 2.20. |
If the Loans of any Lender of a particular Type (Loans of such Type are hereinafter referred to as Affected Loans and such Type is hereinafter referred to as the Affected Type) are to be converted pursuant to Section 2.18(c) or 2.20 hereof, such Lenders Affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, or LIBOR Loans of another Type, as the case may be (the New Type Loans), on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by subsection 2.18(c) or Section 2.20 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.18(c) or 2.20 hereof which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lenders Affected Loans have been so converted, all repayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its New Type Loans;
(b) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead as New Type Loans and all Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) New Type Loans.
Section 2.22 Indemnification. |
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) as a result of:
(a) any payment or repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan held by such Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan except pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.20 hereof; or
(b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Loan held by such Lender (other than that caused by a failure of such Lender to fund such LIBOR Loan) on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 hereof,
such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (i) any loss or expense suffered by such Lender during the period from the date of receipt of such early payment or repayment or the date of such conversion to the last day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Lender upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to such Lenders pro rata share of such payment, repayment or conversion or failure to borrow or convert is less than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period, or (ii) any loss or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating LIBOR deposits prior to maturity which correspond to such Lenders pro rata share of such payment, repayment, conversion, failure to borrow or failure to convert. The determination by each such Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice to the Borrower, containing such Lenders calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be presumed correct, in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.23 Special Provisions Regarding Defaulting Lenders. |
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:
(a) Take possession of the Eligible Facilities (by a receiver or otherwise) and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others, and, to the extent permitted, the right to immediately replace any Operator and/or terminate the management agreements or lease relating thereto;
(b) Withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans and/or terminate Lenders Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder;
(c) Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by Borrower with Agent, regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Agent and Lenders;
(d) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Agent by operation of applicable law.
In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, require (and Borrower and each other Loan Party shall) establish and maintain at all times while any Mortgage continues in effect an impound account (the Impound Account) with Agent for payment of taxes and insurance premiums on each Eligible Facility and as security for the Obligations. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined by Agent to be sufficient (when added to the monthly deposits described herein) to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on each Eligible Facility at least one (1) month prior to the due date or the delinquency date thereof (as Agent shall determine) and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to each Eligible Facility at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall pay to Agent, concurrently with the each Monthly Date, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual taxes that will next become due and payable on each Eligible Facility (the Monthly Tax Impound), plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual insurance premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower or any Loan Party is required to maintain hereunder (the Monthly Insurance Impound), each as estimated and determined by Agent. The Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound, and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Loan Parties to Agent. If Agent at any time determines that the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound for any Eligible Facility is insufficient, Agent may in its discretion adjust the required monthly payments of such amounts, and Borrower and each Loan Party shall be obligated to pay the increased amounts for the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound commencing with the next Monthly Date. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Agent in the Impound Account and used to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums before the same become delinquent. Borrower and each Loan Party shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Agent, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date or the delinquency date for payment thereof (as Lender shall determine), of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall pay (to the extent any Operator has not already paid the same pursuant to its respective Operating Lease) the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Agent shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Agent shall pay no interest on funds contained in the Impound Account to Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Lender and any interest or other earnings on funds deposited in the Impound Account shall be solely for the account of Agent. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Agent (or Operator) for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Agent on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Agent, refunded to Borrower (or, as the case my be, the applicable Loan Party). In allocating such excess, Agent may deal with the person shown on the records of Agent to be the owner of the applicable Eligible Facility. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Agent the full amount of any such deficiency. The Impound Account shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Agent.

The Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with each Loan Party or its Affiliates, as if it were not acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from each Loan Party or its Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

(ii) in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Interest Rate Contract to which such Lender is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of bankers lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Loan Party or otherwise, such Lender shall be permitted to retain the full amount of such payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other Lender.
(b) Upon or following any acceleration by the Agent and the Lenders of the Obligations, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of a Note, or interest or Fees thereon, or in respect of an Interest Rate Contract to which such Lender is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of bankers lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Loan Party or otherwise, in a greater proportion than any such payment obtained by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of the corresponding Note held by such Lender and any Interest Rate Contract to which such Lender is a party, then the Lender so receiving such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Lender or Lenders such portion of each such other Lenders or Lenders Loan as shall be necessary to cause such Lender receiving the proportionate overpayment to share the excess payment with each Lender. For the purposes of this subsection 9.9(b), payments on Notes received by each Lender shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of: (A) the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to such Lender in respect of the Note held by such Lender, plus (y) the Obligations owing to such Lender in respect of Interest Rate Contracts to which such Lender is party, if any, to (B) the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to all of the Lenders in respect of all of the Notes, plus (y) the Obligations owing to all of the Lenders in respect of all Interest Rate Contracts to which any Lender is a party; provided, however, that, with respect to subsections 9.9(a)(i) and (b) above, if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Lender that received the proportionate overpayment, such purchase of Loans or payment of benefits, as the case may be, shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

The due payment and performance of the Obligations shall be without regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever that any Loan Party may have against any Lender or the Agent and without regard to any other obligation of any nature whatsoever that any Lender or the Agent may have to any Loan Party, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by any Loan Party (unless such counter-claim or offset would, under applicable law, be permanently and irrevocably lost if not brought in such action) in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any Lender or the Agent for payment or performance of the Obligations.

Section 10.10 Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
Section 10.11 Severability. |
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision in this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

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 be otherwise 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.
Section 10.12 Binding Effect; No Assignment or Delegation by Borrower. |
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrower and their respective successors and to the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note subject to such assignment (and also, to the extent required, any consent of the Borrower required pursuant to Section 10.13(a) above), the Agent shall: (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto.
(d) Each Lender may, without the prior consent of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.13, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to any Loan Party furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to such Loan Party received by it from such Lender.
(f) Anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank (and its transferees) as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(b) deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two further accurate and complete executed copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and
(c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Agent; unless in any such case under clause (b) above an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such Lender shall certify with respect to Form W-8BEN or W8ECI, as appropriate that (i) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; (ii) to the extent legally entitled to do so, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; or (iii) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
