Each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate (which with respect to field exams under clause (c) below, shall occur at least once in any 15 month period): (a) provide Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors, officers and employees of each Credit Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party's books and records, and (c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review and evaluate the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party and make test verifications, including without limitation, field examinations and collateral audits, and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, any verifications of Accounts requiring communications with the Account Debtors of any Credit Party). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each such Credit Party shall provide such access to Agent and to each Lender at all times and without advance notice. Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall provide Agent and each Lender with access to their suppliers and customers. Each Credit Party
