          (iii) at any time a Person other than the Lender hereunder (or any Affiliate thereof) is the lender under the Secured Loan Facility (or any replacement or refinancing facility in respect of all or any part thereof); or

     2.2. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.3. Borrowing Procedures.

-20-


 

     (a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by an irrevocable duly executed Borrowing Notice delivered to the Lender (which notice must be received by the Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the second Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day). At the Lender’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described Borrowing Notice, any Authorized Person may give the Lender telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed with a Borrowing Notice within 24 hours of the giving of such notice and the failure to provide such Borrowing Notice shall not affect the validity of the request.
     (b) Intentionally Omitted.
     (c) Making of Loans. After receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Lender shall, by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the applicable Funding Date, make available to Borrower by transferring immediately available funds equal to such requested Borrowing to the Designated Accounts designated by the Borrower for such purpose; provided, however, that the Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance if the Lender shall have actual knowledge that (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
     2.4. Payments.
     (a) Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to the Lender in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Lender later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time), shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.
     (b) Application.
          (i) Payments shall be remitted to the Lender and all such payments shall be applied as follows (such application shall be no later than the first Business Day after receipt thereof in accordance with Section 2.8):
          (A) first, to pay any Lender Expenses or any other indemnities, fees or premiums then due to the Lender hereunder, until paid in full,
          (B) second, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Advances until paid in full,

-21-


 

          (C) third, to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full,
          (D) fourth, to pay any other Obligations, and
          (E) fifth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Investment Accounts) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
          (ii) Intentionally omitted.
          (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Section 2.4(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by Borrower specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement.
          (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all Obligations (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
          (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.
          (c) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall not make any voluntary prepayments of any amounts borrowed hereunder so long as any amount remains outstanding under the Unsecured Subordinated Loan Facility at such time.
     2.5. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.6. Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
     (a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin and (ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.
          The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of the Obligations bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate less than 4%. To the extent that interest accrued hereunder at the rate set forth herein would be less than the foregoing

-22-


 

minimum daily rate, the interest rate chargeable hereunder for such day automatically shall be deemed increased to the minimum rate.
     (b) Intentionally Omitted.
     (c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of the Lender), all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
     (d) Payment. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 2.13(a), interest and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month at any time that any Obligations or the Commitment are outstanding. Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, to charge such interest and fees, all Lender Expenses (as and when incurred) and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document to Borrower’s Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to Borrower’s Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder.
     (e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
     (f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the Closing Date, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.
     (g) PIK Interest. The Borrower may elect to increase the then outstanding principal amount of the Advances by the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest as

-23-


 

of the date any such interest is due and payable under Section 2.6(d) (an “Interest Payment Date”, and such interest being the “PIK Interest”) and the principal amount of the Advances shall be deemed so increased by such amount as of such Interest Payment Date; provided, that at no time shall the Borrower be permitted to elect to increase the Advances by the PIK Interest amount if after giving effect thereto the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances plus the PIK Interest amount shall exceed $40,000,000. The Borrower shall be deemed to have given the Lender irrevocable notice of its election to increase the Advances by the PIK Interest amount with respect to each Interest Payment Date unless it notifies the Lender otherwise by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such Interest Payment Date.
     2.7. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.8. Crediting Payments.
          The receipt of any payment item by the Lender shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Lender’s Account. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by the Lender only if it is received into the Lender’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time). If any payment item is received into the Lender’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
     2.9. Designated Accounts.
          The Lender is authorized to make the Advances under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Accounts with the Designated Account Banks for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by the Lender hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lender and Borrower, any Advance requested by Borrower and made by the Lender hereunder shall be made to the Designated Accounts designated by the Borrower for such purpose.
     2.10. Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.
          The Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Advances made by the Lender to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or hereunder, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by the Lender from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. The Lender shall render

-24-


 

statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.
     2.11. Fees.
          Borrower shall pay to the Lender the following fees and charges, which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter):
Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement, an unused line fee in the amount equal to 0.50% per annum times the result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding month.
     2.12. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.13. LIBOR Option.
     (a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) (A) if the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan has a duration of 6 months, each of (1) the first Business Day 90 or more days following the first day of such Interest Period and (2) the last day of such Interest Period applicable thereto or (B) if the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan has a duration of less than 6 months, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Lender has elected to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and the Lender shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder.
     (b) LIBOR Election.

-25-


 

          (i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying the Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances or Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to the Lender of a LIBOR Notice received by the Lender before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by the Lender before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to the Lender of a LIBOR Notice received by the Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the same day).
          (ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.
          (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
     (c) Prepayments. Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.4(c)).
     (d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
          (i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to the Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the Lender shall give Borrower notice of such a determination and adjustment and, upon its receipt of the notice from the Lender, Borrower may, by notice to the Lender (y) require the Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made.
          (ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the Closing Date, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for the Lender to fund or maintain Advances as LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, the Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of the Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in the Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans,

-26-


 

and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of the Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until the Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
     (e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Lender is not required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if the Lender had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
     2.14. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.15. Intentionally Omitted.
     2.16. Servicing.
          The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lender may engage a third-party servicer or administrator for the purpose of reviewing reports and borrowing requests delivered hereunder, to conduct visitations of the Companies premises to review the operations and business of the Companies and to engage in further communications with the Companies, in each case to the extent the Lender shall be permitted hereunder to receive such reports or requests or conduct such visitations; provided, that such servicer or administrator shall be approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Borrower shall provide appropriate details with respect to any disapproval.

IX. THE LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
     9.1. Rights and Remedies.
          Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Lender may do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
     (a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable;
     (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement;
     (c) Terminate this Agreement as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender.
     9.2. Remedies Cumulative.
          The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
X. TAXES AND EXPENSES.
          If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under

-48-


 

such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, the Lender, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in Borrower’s Loan Account as the Lender deems necessary to protect the Lender from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 6.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as the Lender deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by the Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. The Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.
XI. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
     11.1. Demand; Protest; etc.
          To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided hereunder, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties at any time held by the Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
     11.2. Intentionally omitted.
     11.3. Indemnification.
          Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender-Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the monitoring of Borrower’s compliance with the terms hereof, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder or the use and registration or attempted registration of the Intellectual Property subject to this Agreement (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

-49-


 

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
XII. NOTICES.

XIV. ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS.
     14.1. Assignments.
     (a) The Lender may assign and delegate to any assignee (an “Assignee”) that is an Eligible Transferee all, but not less than all, of the Obligations, the Commitment and the other rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower may continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower by the Lender and the Assignee, and (ii) the Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrower an Assignment and Acceptance. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees shall not be required and the Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the Lender.
     (b) From and after the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder, and (ii) the Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release the Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including the Lender’s obligations under Section 17.8 of this Agreement.

-52-


 

     (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) the Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Companies or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and (5) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as the Lender.
     (d) Immediately upon the Lender’s receipt of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance (with a copy to the Borrower), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee.
     (e) Intentionally omitted.
     (f) In connection with any such assignment or proposed assignment, the Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.8, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its respective businesses.
     14.2. Successors.
          This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lender shall release Borrower from its Obligations. The Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.
XV. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
     15.1. Amendments and Waivers.

-53-


 

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender and Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
     15.2. Intentionally Omitted.
     15.3. No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.
          No failure by the Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or, any other Loan Document, or delay by the Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. The Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that the Lender may have.
XVI. Intentionally Omitted.
XVII. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
     17.1. Effectiveness.
          This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower and the Lender.

     17.6. Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.
          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
     17.7. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.
          If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or the transfer to the Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrower automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
     17.8. Confidentiality.
          The Lender agrees that material, non-public information regarding Borrower, its operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by the Lender in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the Lender to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to the Lender, (b) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Lender, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.8, (c) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Borrower or its Subsidiaries or as required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Lender), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective

-55-


 

sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of the Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and (g) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 17.8 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations. Anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein, as they relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, or Lender of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of such transactions (including all written materials related to such tax structure and tax treatment). The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to not be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the IRC, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby or any tax matter or tax idea related thereto.
     17.9. Integration.
          This Agreement reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the Closing Date.
