The competent authority of the requested Party may decline to assist where the request is not made in conformity with this Agreement.
2. The provisions of this Agreement shall not impose on a Contracting Party the obligation to supply information which would disclose any trade, business, industrial, commercial or professional secret or trade process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information of the type referred to in Article 5, paragraph 4 shall not be treated as such a secret or trade process merely because it meets the criteria in that paragraph.

Procedure for Borrowing (a) The Borrower may request a borrowing to be made on any Business Day during the Commitment Period (each such date a “Funding Date”) by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lender a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”), appropriately completed, which Notice of Borrowing must be received no later than 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) five (5) Business Days’ prior to the requested Funding Date, which notice, if not withdrawn prior to the date which is two (2) Business Days’ prior to such Funding Date, shall thereafter become irrevocable. Each Loan shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (or, if the Available Amount is less than such amount, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Upon the Borrower’s request for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(a), and assuming all conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Lender in accordance with Section 10.01), not later than 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the requested Funding Date, the Lender shall make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Borrower in immediately available funds, via wire transfer (pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth in Section 2.03(c)).
(c) The Borrower hereby directs the Lender to send the proceeds of all Loans (i) by wire transfer to the account specified on Schedule A or (ii) to such other account as shall be designated by the Borrower in a Notice of Borrowing.
(d) The Borrower agrees to compensate the Lender for the losses (as calculated pursuant to the next succeeding sentence) that the Lender incurs as a consequence of a failure of the Borrower to make a borrowing of Loans of the requested amount after the Borrower has delivered a Notice of Borrowing which has become irrevocable in accordance with Section 2.03(a). Such losses shall be calculated as follows: an amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of (A) the weighted average cost (as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion) of all nominal marketable Indebtedness issued by UST over the preceding thirty (30) days, plus (B) 1.00%, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days constituting the period from the date such Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower has become irrevocable to the date the Borrower defaults in making a borrowing pursuant to such Notice of Borrowing, divided by (B) three hundred sixty (360) days, multiplied by (iii) the amount not so borrowed. A certificate as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenant in this Section 2.03(d) shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Procedure for Claims (1) In the event the Indemnitee is named as a party in any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation upon which the Indemnitee intends to base a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation (provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee the Indemnitor may have under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure).
(2) The Indemnitor shall participate in and, assume the defence of any such action, including for certainty any derivative action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation all at the Indemnitor's expense provided, however, that counsel retained by the Indemnitor shall be satisfactory to the Indemnitee in the exercise of his reasonable judgement. Notwithstanding the Indemnitor's assumption of the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in, but not control, the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, and the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel as such fees, costs and expenses are incurred (provided that with respect to any single action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnitor shall not be required to bear the fees, costs and expenses of more than one such counsel in any single jurisdiction) if (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnitor to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (b) the defendants, respondents or other parties in any such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation include both the Indemnitee on the one hand and the Indemnitor on the other hand, and the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation on behalf of the Indemnitee); (c) the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee in the exercise of the Indemnitee's reasonable judgment to represent him, within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, proceeding or investigation; or (d) the Indemnitor authorizes the Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Indemnitor's expense.
(3) The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in the Indemnitor's defense by providing such information and other assistance which the Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with such defense.
(4) The Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of the Indemnitee from any liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. The Indemnitee shall not, without the Indemnitor's prior written consent, admit liability, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph and the Indemnitee shall not disclose the existence of this Agreement unless required by law, subpoena, court order or upon the advice of counsel.
