We will be entitled to use and rely upon, without responsibility to verify independently, the Information and the Projections. You acknowledge that we may share with any of our affiliates, and such affiliates may share with the Commitment Parties, any information related to you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, in each case, information relating to creditworthiness) and the Transactions.

At the request of the Lead Arranger, (A) you will assist, and cause your affiliates or advisors to assist, the Lead Arranger in the preparation of Informational Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the 364-Day Bridge Facility or, as the case may be, the High Yield Bridge Facility to Public Lenders, which will not contain MNPI (the “Public Informational Materials”) and (B) at the request of the Lead Arranger you will identify and conspicuously mark any Public Informational Materials “PUBLIC”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the Commitment Parties may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders (including the Public Lenders) on your behalf, unless you advise the Commitment Parties in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should not be distributed to Public Lenders: (w) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (x) notifications of changes in the terms of each Facility, (y) historical financial information regarding the Borrower and its subsidiaries (other than the Projections) and (z) drafts and final versions of the Bridge Term Sheet and the Bridge Loan Documentation. If you advise us in writing (including by email) that any of the foregoing items (other than the Bridge Loan Documentation) should not be distributed to Public Lenders, then the Commitment Parties will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without your consent. Before distribution of any Informational Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Informational Materials and confirming the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of the information contained therein and, in the case of Public Informational Materials, confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom. In addition, the Information Materials shall exculpate you and us and the respective affiliates of the foregoing with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of such Information Materials or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

You also agree that no Indemnified Party will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) to you or your affiliates or to your or their respective equityholders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the Transactions, except to the extent such liability to you is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Party will be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Bridge Loan Documentation or any other element of the Transactions.

You shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party affected thereby, settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Party to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnified Party, (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and (z) requires no action on the part of the Indemnified Party other than its consent. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but, if settled with your prior written consent or if there is a judgment in any such action, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of any kind or nature (including legal expenses) incurred by reason of such settlement in accordance with this Section 6.

1.

I am generally familiar with the properties, business, assets, finances and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.  In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Solvency Certificate, I have reviewed the Credit Agreement, considered the most recent financial statements of each Loan Party, and reviewed the contents of this Solvency Certificate and, in connection therewith, have reviewed such other documentation and information made (or caused to be made) such investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries after the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, and am duly authorized to execute this Solvency Certificate on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and

2.

as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of the indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Transactions, that, (i) the sum of the debt and liabilities (subordinated, contingent or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, does not exceed the fair value of the assets (at a fair valuation) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the assets (at a fair valuation) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on their debts and other liabilities subordinated, contingent or otherwise as they become absolute and matured; (iii) the capital of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as conducted or contemplated as of the date hereof; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts or other liabilities (including current obligations and contingent liabilities) beyond their ability to pay such debt or other liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise). For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
