-40-
Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (i) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (ii) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation and in any right to receive any payment hereunder (such records, the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender 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 Loans or its other Obligations) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the an Indebtedness of the Borrower is in "registered form" for tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation or responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(b) Records of Agent. The Agent, acting for this purpose as agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.10, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.11 (or at such other address as the Agent may notify the Borrower) a record of ownership (the "Register") in which the Agent agrees to record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 10.2), (ii) the amount of each Loan, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (iv) any other payment received by the Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

(d) Conclusive Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and each Loan Party, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Agent.
Section 2.11 Taxes. (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.11, each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of Taxes except as required by a Requirement of Law. If any Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Loan Party, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to
-41-
additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, "Other Taxes"). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of payment thereof.
(c) Indemnification.

A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (c), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) Agent's Tax Indemnity. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.10(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (d).
(e) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or impose any costs (which the Borrower has declined to reimburse) on such Lender.

(f) Tax Forms. (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a "Non-U.S. Lender Party" hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, by the relevant Lender), provide the Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two (2) completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming complete or partial exemption from U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor forms; (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; (C) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender Party is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-Lender Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender Party may provide a U.S. certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or (D) to the extent the Non-U.S. Lender Party is legally entitled to do so, any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Each Non-U.S. Lender Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(i) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a "U.S. Lender Party" hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.
(ii) If this Agreement (as it may be modified) is not treated as a Grandfathered Obligation and if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation
-43-
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 or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender'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 of this Agreement.
(g) Refunds. 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 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), 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 2.11 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 clause (g) (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 clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) 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 clause (g) 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.
(h) Each party's obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.
Section 2.12 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the Agent's fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Borrowers, the Agent and the Required Lenders, including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

The Current Projections were based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which the Borrower believed to be reasonable and fair in light of conditions and facts known to such Persons as of the Initial Closing Date and reflected the good faith, reasonable and fair estimates by such Persons of the future consolidated financial performance of the Group Members and the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein.
Section 3.5 Material Adverse Effect. Since March 31, 2016, there have been no events, circumstances, developments or other changes in facts that would, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.8 Taxes. All federal and material state, local and foreign income and franchise and other tax returns, reports and statements (collectively, the "Tax Returns") required to be filed by any Tax Affiliate have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in all jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be filed, all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects, and all taxes, charges and other impositions reflected therein or otherwise due and payable have been paid prior to the date due except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Person has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP. No Tax Return is under audit or examination by any Governmental Authority and no notice of such an audit or examination or any assertion of any claim for taxes has been given or made by any Governmental Authority, except such audit, examination or claim as could not, if adversely determined, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Tax Affiliate from their respective employees for all periods in full and complete compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable Requirements of Law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities.

No Group Member (and, to the knowledge of each Group Member, no other party thereto) is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, which Contractual Obligation is material to the operation of the Group Member's business and which default gives the applicable third party the right to terminate such Contractual Obligation.
Section 3.11 Investment Company Act. No Group Member is an "investment company" or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company," as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

No ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remain outstanding.

No ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA that remains outstanding (other than PBGC premiums due but not delinquent).
Section 3.14 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14, (a) the operations of each Group Member are and have been in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, including obtaining, maintaining and complying with all Permits required by any applicable Environmental Law, other than non-compliances that, in the aggregate, would not have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in Material Environmental Liabilities, (b) no Group Member is party to, and no Group Member and no real property currently (or to the knowledge of any Group Member previously) owned, leased, subleased, operated or otherwise occupied by or for any Group Member is subject to or the subject of, any Contractual Obligation or any pending (or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened) order, action, investigation, suit, proceeding, audit, claim, demand, dispute or notice of violation or of potential liability or similar notice under or pursuant to any Environmental Law other than those that, in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to result in Material Environmental Liabilities, (c) no Lien in favor of any Governmental Authority securing, in whole or in part, Environmental Liabilities has attached to any property of any Group Member and, to the knowledge of each Group Member, no facts, circumstances or conditions exist that could reasonably be expected to result in any such Lien attaching to any such property, (d) no Group Member has caused or suffered to occur a Release of Hazardous Materials at, to or from any real property of any Group Member and each such real property is free of contamination by any Hazardous Materials except for such Release or contamination that could not reasonably be expected to result, in the aggregate, in Material Environmental Liabilities, (e) no Group Member (i) is or has been engaged in, or has permitted any current or former tenant to engage in, operations, or (ii) knows of any facts, circumstances or conditions, including receipt of any information request or notice of potential responsibility under CERCLA or other Environmental Laws, that, in the aggregate, would have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in Material Environmental Liabilities and (f) each Group Member has made available to the Agent copies of all existing environmental reports, reviews and audits and all documents pertaining to actual or potential Environmental Liabilities, in each case to the extent such reports, reviews, audits and documents are in their possession, custody or control.

Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.
(b) Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, such Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Agent, any other Secured Party) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent:
(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of such Agent, when acting on behalf of such Agent);

(iv) shall have no duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Event of Default or shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower, or any Lender describing such Event of Default clearly labeled "notice of default" (in which case such Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);
-76-
and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Agent based thereon.

The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as an Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent the Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms "Lender" and "Required Lender" and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include the Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively.

Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by such Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in to the possession of the Agent or any of its Related Persons.
Section 8.8 Expenses; Indemnities. (a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and each of its respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for such Lender's pro rata share of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred by the Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Agent and each of its respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), from and against such Lender's aggregate pro rata share of the Liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender, including but not limited to Borrower's indemnification obligations set forth under Section 10.4 below) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any
-77-
Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to such Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
Section 8.9 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may resign as Agent at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date that is thirty (30) days after such notice is given, but only if at such time a successor Agent shall have been appointed in accordance herewith. If the Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of a Default. Notwithstanding any other term and condition of this Agreement, the resignation of the Agent shall be effective no later than thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent having given notice of resignation.
(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation and the assignment of Liens in favor of the successor Agent or otherwise for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the rights and duties of the Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights and Liens as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent and the assignment of Liens from the retiring Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 10.3 and 10.4 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement or while it was actively engaged in transferring its rights and obligations as Agent to the successor administrative agent.
Section 8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:
(a) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Loan Party if all of the Securities of such Subsidiary Guarantor owned by any Group Member are Sold in a Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent
-78-
that, after giving effect to such Sale, such Subsidiary Guarantor would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 5.18; and
(b) any Lien held by the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is Sold by a Loan Party in a Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 5.18 after giving effect to such Sale have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 6.2(d) or (e) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable, (B) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to the Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations, and (C) to the extent requested by the Agent, receipt by the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Loan Parties each in form and substance acceptable to the Agent.

Section 8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Agent) this Article VIII, Section 10.8, Section 10.9 and Section 10.20 and the decisions and actions of the Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept and (b) except as set forth herein specifically for such Secured Party, (i) each of the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (ii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.
Section 8.12 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial Proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on
-79-
the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties and the Agent under Sections 2.12 and 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.12 and 10.3.
Each of the Lenders hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Borrower and the Agent, as of the Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Lenders, and as of the Subsequent Closing Date with respect to the Subsequent Lenders, that:
Section 9.1 Organization and Existence. Such Lender, if such Lender is an entity, is a validly existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, and if such Lender is a natural person, all requisite power and authority, to lend to the Borrower and invest in the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 9.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by such Lender of the Loan Documents to which such Lender is a party have been duly authorized and each will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally.

Such Lender acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Filings. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Lender shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Lender's right to rely on the Borrower's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
Section 9.6 Restricted Shares. Such Lender understands that the Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.
Section 9.7 Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:
(a) "The securities represented hereby have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (iii) the Borrower has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended."

No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (i) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, by the Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and any other Loan Party which is a party to the Loan Document in question, (ii) in the case of granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by the Agent, the Borrower and any other Loan Party which is a party to the Loan Document in question, and (iii) in the case of any other amendment, consent or waiver by the Required Lenders, the Agent, the Borrower and any other Loan Party which is a party to the Loan Document in question; provided, however, that no amendment, consent or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, in addition to any other Person the signature of which is otherwise required pursuant to any Loan Document, do any of the following:

(b) Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Section 10.2 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Agent (which shall keep a copy thereof) an Assignment, together with any Note issued pursuant to Section 2.1(c), any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(f) and payment by the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that (i) no assignment fee shall be due and payable with respect to assignments (x) between Lenders and their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds

Effective upon the entry of such record in the Register, (i) such assignee shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article VIII, Section 10.8 and Section 10.9 to the extent provided in Section 8.11).
(e) Grant of Security Interests. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 10.2, each Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, such Lender's rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.11, but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.11(f) to the selling Lender and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document; and (C) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender's ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such
-84-
Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 10.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 10.1(a)(iv) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 8.10 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral). No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.
Section 10.3 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Agent and the Lead Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket costs for Agent's and Lead Lender's Counsel) incurred by any of them or any of their Related Persons in connection with the negotiation and documentation relating to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated hereby, and the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Agent, the Lead Lender or their respective Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Loans by the Agent in its sole discretion, (b) the Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by the Agent for its examiners, if any), (c) any Acceptable Appraiser in connection with all reports and work related to the Loan Documents and (d) each of the Agent (including reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket costs for Agent's counsel), its Related Persons, and each Lender (to include the Lead Lender Counsel and Other Counsel) for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a "work-out," (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Loan Party, Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any

subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel).
Section 10.4 Indemnities. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Agent, each Lender, and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an "Indemnitee") from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan, or any Securities filing of, or with respect to, any Loan Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions and this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the matters described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.4, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including reasonable attorneys' fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 10.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter (to the extent such Indemnitee would otherwise be liable) other than, to the extent such liability has resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Furthermore, the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, "Indemnified Matters" includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.
-86-
Section 10.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.11, Article VIII, Section 10.3, Section 10.4 or this Section 10.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (a) survive the payment in full of other Obligations and (b) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.
Section 10.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 10.7 Lender-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
Section 10.8 Right of Setoff. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, with the prior written consent of the Agent, each of the Agent, each Lender, and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them are hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Agent, such Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower of any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights under this Section 10.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.
Section 10.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or "proceeds" (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 2.11 and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the
-87-
Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 10.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.
Section 10.11 Notices. (a) Addresses. All notices, demands, requests, directions and other communications required or expressly authorized to be made by this Agreement shall, whether or not specified to be in writing but unless otherwise expressly specified to be given by any other means, be given in writing and (i) addressed to, with respect to any party, the Persons and addresses specified under such party's name on Schedule 10.11 or on the signature page of any applicable Assignment, (ii) except as provided in Section 10.11(b), posted to Intralinks® (to the extent such system is available and set up by or at the direction of the Agent prior to posting) in an appropriate location by uploading such notice, demand, request, direction or other communication to xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, faxing it to 000-000-0000 with an appropriate bar-coded fax coversheet or using such other means of posting to Intralinks® as may be available and reasonably acceptable to the Agent prior to such posting, (iii) except as provided in Section 10.11(b), posted to any other E-System set up by or at the direction of the Agent in an appropriate location or (iv) addressed to such other address as shall be notified in writing (A) in the case of the Borrower and the Agent, to the other parties hereto and (B) in the case of all other parties, to the Borrower and the Agent. Transmission by electronic mail (including E-Fax, even if transmitted to the fax numbers set forth in clause (i) above) shall not be sufficient or effective to transmit any such notice under this clause (a) unless such transmission is an available means to post to any E-System.
(b) Effectiveness. All communications described in clause (a) above and all other notices, demands, requests and other communications made in connection with this Agreement shall be effective and be deemed to have been received (i) if delivered by hand, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by overnight courier service, one Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if delivered by mail, when received, (iv) if delivered by facsimile, including E-Fax (other than the posting to an E-System pursuant to clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above), upon sender's receipt of confirmation of proper transmission, and (iv) if delivered by posting to any E-System, on the later of the date of such posting in an appropriate location and the date access to such posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the standard procedures applicable to such E-
-88-
System; provided, however, that no communications to the Agent pursuant to Article II or Article VIII shall be effective until received by the Agent and no notice, demand, request, direction or other communication to any Loan Party pursuant to Section 10.11 shall be effective unless given in accordance with the methods described in clauses (i) through (iv) (other than by E-Fax) of this Section 10.11(b).
Section 10.12 Electronic Transmissions. (a) Authorization. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, each of the Agent, the Borrower, the Lenders, and each of their Related Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and the Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.
(b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E‑Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a "signature" and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a "writing," in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party's or beneficiary's right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.
(c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 10.11 and this Section 10.12, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Group Members in connection with the use of such E-System.
(d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". NONE OF AGENT, ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION, AND EACH DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY THE AGENT, ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PERSONS IN
-89-
CONNECTION WITH ANY E‑SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. The Borrower and each Secured Party agree (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that neither the Agent nor any Loan Party has any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.
Section 10.13 Governing Law. This Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without reference to rules or principles of conflicts of laws that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.14 Jurisdiction. (a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.
(b) Service of Process. Each party hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of each party hereto specified in Section 10.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein). Each party hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. Nothing contained in this Section 10.14 shall affect the right of the Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or the right of any party hereto to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any party hereto, any Loan Party or any of the Collateral in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN
-90-
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.15.
Section 10.16 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.17 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties 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. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
Section 10.18 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).
Section 10.19 Use of Name. The Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to the Agent or any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent and without the prior consent of the Agent except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with the Agent prior thereto.
Section 10.20 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Securities and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).
-91-
(b) Each Lender and the Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower's prior written consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (provided that disclosure in any tombstone or other advertising materials shall be limited to matters previously disclosed in any press release made by or on behalf of a Loan Party or otherwise consented to in writing by the Borrower), (vi) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 9.2(f) or participants, and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 10.20 and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 10.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 10.20 shall govern.
Section 10.21 USA Patriot Act; OFAC. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, each other Group Member and each shareholder of the Borrower holding 10% or more of the outstanding common shares, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order of the President of the United States, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order of the President of the United States relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable laws.
Section 10.22 Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
This agreement and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2016 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Intercreditor Agreement"), by and between Société Générale, as First Lien Agent (as defined therein), and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Second Lien Agent (as
