Without limiting the generality of Section 3.5(e)(i), each Purchaser that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Purchaser”) shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement) and at such other times as the Borrower reasonably requests two original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, certifying that such U.S. Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Purchaser required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 3.5(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Purchaser of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Borrower two new original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8IMY and/or W-9 (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, and such other documentation prescribed by the Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower, if applicable, to confirm or establish that such Purchaser is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal tax with respect to payments to such Purchaser under the Note Documents, or promptly notify the Borrower of its legal inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

31

 
(iii)          If a payment made to a Purchaser under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.
 
(f)          If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
 
(g)          Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and any Purchaser under this Section 3.5 shall survive the termination of the Note Documents and the payment in full of the Notes or the assignment of rights by a Purchaser.
 
3.6          Tax Treatment. The Borrower and each Purchaser shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the following: (i) the Notes are debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) the Notes are not governed by the rules set out in the U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4. The inclusion of this paragraph is not an admission by any Purchaser that it is subject to U.S. taxation.

              10.3          Set-Off.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies that may then be available to any Purchaser of any Note, each Purchaser of any Note and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) to set off and apply any and all Indebtedness at any time owing by such Purchaser or the Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against all amounts which may be owed to such Purchaser or the Collateral Agent by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document. If any Purchaser of the Notes shall obtain from the Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Note held by it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or such Note held by it or any other Note Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, and, as a result of such payment, such Purchaser shall have received a greater percentage of the principal, interest or other amounts then due to such Purchaser under the Note Documents than the percentage received by any other Purchaser, it shall promptly make such adjustments (including without limitation purchasing risk participations) with such other Purchaser from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Purchasers of the Notes shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Purchaser in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and/or interest on the Notes or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to each of the Purchasers of the Notes.  To such end, all Purchasers of the Notes shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  Any Purchaser of the Notes taking action under this Section 10.3 shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower of any such action taken; provided that the failure of such Purchaser to provide such notice shall not prejudice its rights hereunder.

81

 
              10.4          Suits for Enforcement.  In case any one or more Events of Default described in Section 10.1 shall have occurred and be continuing, unless such Events of Default shall have been waived, the Purchaser of each Note with respect to which any such Event of Default has occurred may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this Article 10 by suit in equity or action at law.  It is agreed that in the event of any such action, or any action between the Purchasers of the Notes and the Borrower (including its officers and agents) in connection with a breach or enforcement of this Agreement, the Purchasers of the Notes shall be entitled to receive all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred, including without limitation such fees and expenses of outside counsel (whether or not litigation is commenced) and fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
 
              10.5          License.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereby grant to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property rights of the Borrower or Subsidiary for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials following any Event of Default so that such materials become saleable inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by the Borrower or Subsidiary for its own manufacturing; and (b) selling, leasing. licensing or otherwise disposing of any or all collateral following any Event of Default.
 
Article 11
INDEMNIFICATION
 
              11.1          Indemnification.  In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the Collateral Agent, each of its respective Affiliates and each of its respective managers, officers, directors, agents, employees, Subsidiaries, partners, members, attorneys, accountants and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursements and other charges of outside counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries) and such Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) or between an Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities or losses (collectively, “Liabilities”), in each case resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement or any other Note Document, including without limitation, the failure to make payment when due of amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document, on the due date thereof (whether at the scheduled maturity, on the applicable installment date, by acceleration or otherwise) or any legal, administrative or other actions (including, without limitation, actions brought by any holders of equity or Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or derivative actions brought by any Person claiming through or in the Borrower’s or any such Subsidiary’s name), proceedings or investigations (whether formal or informal), or written threats thereof, based upon, relating to or arising out of the Note Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Indemnified Party’s role therein or in the transactions contemplated thereby, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and its respective directors, officers, and employees; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable under this Section 11.1 to an Indemnified Party to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such Liabilities resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of an Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Liabilities which shall be permissible under Applicable Laws.  In connection with the obligation of the Borrower to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, the Borrower further agrees, upon presentation of appropriate invoices, to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursements and other charges of outside counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Liabilities) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 11.1 shall survive the payment in full of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

82

 
              11.2          Procedure; Notification.  Each Indemnified Party under this Article 11 will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Borrower under this Article 11, notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof.  The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Borrower of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such omission impairs the Borrower’s ability to defend the action, claim or other proceeding.  In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its judgment; provided that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, claim or proceeding in which the Borrower, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or may become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense and to control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable. The Borrower agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

              12.3          Successors and Assigns.
 
(a)          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  Subject to applicable securities laws, each Purchaser may, with the consent of the Collateral Agent and upon notice to, but without the consent of the Borrower, transfer the Notes held by it in whole or in part and may assign its rights under the Note Documents to one or more assignees; provided that any such transfer or assignment by a Purchaser to one or more of its Affiliates or Approved Funds may be made at any time without requiring the consent of the Required Purchasers or any other Person.  In addition, each Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower sell participations to any Person in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents; provided that such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall remain unchanged, and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignments may be made to, and no participations may be sold to, a Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Purchaser may, at any time, create a security interest in, pledge or assign, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in the Note Documents and the Notes in favor of any secured creditor of such Purchaser, and such secured creditor may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under Applicable Law.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary may assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, under this Agreement, the Notes without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, and any such purported assignment by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary without the written consent of the Required Purchasers shall be void and of no effect.  Except as provided in Article 11, no Person other than the parties hereto and its successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of any of the Note Documents.
 
(b)          The Borrower shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(c)          Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Note Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Note Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

86

 
12.4          Amendment and Waiver.
 
(a)          No failure or delay on the part of any of the parties hereto in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.  The remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the parties hereto at law, in equity or otherwise.
 
(b)          Any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Purchasers and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser affected thereby, an amendment, waiver, supplement or modification of this Agreement, the Notes or any consent to departure from a term or provision hereof or thereof may not: (A) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of principal or interest on the Notes; (B) reduce the principal amount of the Notes; (C) make the Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; (D) reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of fees or other compensation payable to the Purchasers hereunder; or (E) change any provision of this Section 12.4(b) or the definition of “Required Purchasers” or any other provision specifying the number or percentage of Purchasers required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder.
 
(c)          Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
              12.5          Signatures; Counterparts.  Facsimile and electronic transmissions of any executed original document and/or retransmission of any executed facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be the same as the delivery of an executed original.  At the request of any party hereto, the other parties hereto shall confirm facsimile transmissions by executing duplicate original documents and delivering the same to the requesting party or parties.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

12.8          JURISDICTION, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, ETC.
 
(a)          EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY AGREEMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, OR ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSES THEREOF AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF IMPROPER VENUE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 10 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREIN, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO BRING ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY NOTE DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH ANY COLLATERAL IS LOCATED.
 
(b)          TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.  EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY HOLDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE PURCHASERS WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

88

 
              12.9          Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  The parties hereto further agree to replace such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision.
 
              12.10          Rules of Construction.  Unless the context otherwise requires, “or” is not exclusive, and references to sections or subsections refer to sections or subsections of this Agreement.
 
              12.11          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto and the other Note Documents, is intended by the parties as a final expression of its agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.  There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein.  This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Note Documents supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
 
              12.12          Certain Expenses.  The Borrower will pay all expenses of the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and travel expenses) in connection with (a) any administration, enforcement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or any documents relating thereto (including, without limitation, a response to a request by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for the consent of such Purchaser or Collateral Agent to any action otherwise prohibited hereunder or thereunder), (b) consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or such other documents and (c) any redemption of the Notes.

              12.13          Publicity.  Except as may be required by Applicable Law or otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the parties hereto shall issue a public release or announcement or otherwise make any public disclosure concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior approval by the other parties hereto, provided, however, that the Purchasers may, without the approval of the Borrower, issue a press release and may publish and distribute one or more tombstone or other announcements of the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby using the Borrower’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

91

 
              13.2          Powers and Duties.  Each Purchaser irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent to take such action on such Purchaser’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights, and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights, and remedies as are incidental thereto.  Each Purchaser hereby further irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Collateral Documents.  Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or expert.  Collateral Agent may accept payments of principal, interest, fees and expenses due under the Note Documents from the deposits from any Loan Party on the account or benefit for any Purchaser.
 
13.3          Collateral Matters.
 
(a)          Each Purchaser authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent at the discretion of the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, and the exercise by the Required Purchasers, all of the Purchasers, or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Purchasers. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Purchasers, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Purchaser, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Note Document which may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.
 
(b)          The Purchasers hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at the election and on the instruction of the Required Purchasers (i) to, in accordance with the terms of (and at the times specified in) the Collateral Documents, release (x) any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any collateral in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, and (y) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement; and (ii) to subordinate or release any Lien on any collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Collateral Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien described in Sections 9.6(g). Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Purchasers will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of collateral, or to release any Guarantor from any guaranty, in each case, as permitted pursuant to this Section 13.3(b).

92

 
(c)          The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Purchasers or to any other Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant to the Note Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 13.3 or in any of the Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in any collateral as one of the Purchasers and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Purchasers, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, partners, managers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Note Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Note Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Note Document, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Note Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (vi) the financial condition of any Loan Party.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser, 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 any action under the Note Documents.
 
              13.4          Actions with Respect to Defaults.  The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to Defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Collateral Agent for the account of Purchasers, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Purchaser or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  The Collateral Agent will notify each Purchaser of its receipt of any such notice.  In addition to the Collateral Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to a Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as the case may be, provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which in the Collateral Agent’s opinion would expose the Collateral Agent or its Affiliates to liability, and provided, further, that until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such ministerial action, or refrain from taking such ministerial action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. The Collateral Agent may at any time request instructions from the Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Note Documents the Collateral Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Collateral Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Note Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Purchasers. Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent solely as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, except with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

93

 
              13.5          Successor Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then (a) the resignation of the Collateral Agent shall become effective on such 30th day, (b) the Required Purchasers shall perform the duties of the Collateral Agent under the Note Documents until the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Collateral Agent, (c) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents and (d) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor the Collateral Agent as provided for in this Section 13.5.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided herein).  After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent and its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting or was continuing to act as the Collateral Agent.
