Confidentiality. The Holder shall not disclose the terms of this Note or any information provided under Section 4(c) hereof without the written consent of the Issuer; provided, however, that the Holder may disclose such terms (i) to its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, partners, members, financial and other advisors, investors, prospective investors, lenders, prospective lenders, transferees, prospective transferees and representatives, (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court, arbitrator or governmental body or agency, or as otherwise required by law or regulation, (iii) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Note or any other Operative Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or under any other Operative Document, or (iv) to the extent such terms or information become publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9(m). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto (and each employee, representative or other agent of each such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the United States, federal, state and local “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereto and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party or its representatives relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that no person may disclose any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to the United States federal, state and local tax treatment of the transaction and is not relevant to understanding the United States federal, state and local tax treatment of the transaction, without complying with the provisions of this Section 9(m); provided further, that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the United States federal, state and local tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provision shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. Any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
