Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount that may thereafter accrue, would not require Administrative Agent, such Lender to disclose any information Administrative Agent or such Lender deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential and would not, in the sole determination of Administrative Agent or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(g)

-23-
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

Section 2.11 Illegality.Reserved.

The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
Section 8.03
Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
The Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Administrative Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts, (ii) may execute any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care, (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including the books and records) of any Person, (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral or the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or to create or maintain any Lien thereon. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.07, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby covenant and agree to return promptly to such Lender any erroneous payment received by them). The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting anything in this Section 8.05, amounts owing under this Section 8.05 shall be payable within five (5) days after written demand by Administrative Agent.
Section 8.06

(b)
Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and continues to then exist) appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c)
If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) day period, the retiring Administrative Agent shall with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and continues to then exist) then appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as an Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
Section 8.08
Collateral Matters.
(a)
The Administrative Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Administrative Agent Advances”) which the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrowers of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.03 and costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in performing any covenant or agreement required to be performed by the Borrowers which the Borrowers have failed to perform. The Administrative Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 2.07. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and SCGRMG Holdings in writing of each such Administrative Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Administrative Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 8.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand,
-46-
in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Administrative Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.
(b)
The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral upon payment and satisfaction of all Loans and all other Obligations which have matured and which the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders if required hereunder.

Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.
(d)
The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 8.08, elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving (or whose Affiliate is serving) as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans, such Person shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.
-47-
Section 8.11

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 10.05
Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.06
Assignments and Participations.
(a)
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.
(b)
Each Lender may with the written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (each of such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more other Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans made by it; provided, however, that (i) unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent, such assignment is in an amount which is at least $1,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Loans) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to (x) a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $1,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise waived by Administrative Agent) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender), (iii) no written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (x) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or (y) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender and (iv) no written consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default then exists. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the later of (i) the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment), and (ii) the date of recordation in the Register (x) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall have the right to assign all or any portion the Loans to (A) SCGRMG Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) any Person (other than SCGRMG Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) that, as of the date of any proposed assignment, holds twenty percent (20%) or more of the Capital Stock of SCGRMG Holdings having ordinary voting power for the election of directors (or similar Persons) of SCGRMG Holdings.
(c)
The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Term Loan Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”) owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)
Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (which consent must be evidenced by the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrowers’ execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and record the information contained therein in the Register.
-51-
(e)
Any assignment or sale of all or part of a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Administrative Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(f)
Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Loans made by it; provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 8.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document); and (iv) the sale of a participation to any Loan Party, any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Loans as if it was a Lender; provided any participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States which participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.09(d) as if it were a “Lender” thereunder except such participant shall only be required to deliver any tax forms to the Administrative Agent and the Lender which sold such participant its participation herein. In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(g)
Any participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States which participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.09(d) as if it were a “Lender” thereunder except such participant shall only be required to deliver any tax forms to the Lender which sold such participant its participation herein.
(h)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.07
Counterparts.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by telecopier or pdf shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by telecopier or pdf shall also deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH COLLATERAL IS LOCATED. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 10.14
Indemnification.
(a)
General Indemnity. Each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and all of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the ”Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Related Transaction Documents or any other agreement, document or instrument executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Related Transaction Documents or any agreement, document or instrument executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any claim, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)
Environmental Indemnity. Without limiting Section 10.14(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of or in connection with (i) any Releases or threatened Releases at any property or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any predecessor in interest or at any property or facility which received Hazardous Materials generated, managed or otherwise handled by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of applicable Environmental Laws by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (iv) any Remedial Action at a facility or property owned or operated at any time by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (v) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; or (vi) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in Section 5.01(q) or the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.02(m).

(c)
The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.14 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 10.14 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.17
Confidentiality.
Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself, each of its affiliates and each of the directors, officers, employees and representatives of such Person and its affiliates) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) by any Person to such Person’s directors, officers, employees or representatives, (ii) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (iii) to counsel for Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) to regulators, self-regulatory organizations, examiners, auditors, accountants or rating agencies, (v) as may be required in connection with any litigation to which Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any affiliates of any Lender) is a party or (vi) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) is advised about the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Section 10.17 and agrees in writing to abide by the same. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself, each of its affiliates and each of the directors, officers, employees and representatives of such Person and its affiliates) that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (v) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or identification (unless prohibited from doing so by law, rule, regulation or court, administrative or other similar order); provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and each Lender (and each affiliate thereof) may make disclosure (a) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or any representative thereof or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or representatives thereof and that Administrative Agent and each Lender (and each affiliate thereof) may be subject to review by other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information, or (b) as permitted by Section 6.02(q) hereof.
Section 10.18
Integration.
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to any Loan Party or any other Person on any theory of liability for any special indirect, consequential or punitive damages.
Section 10.19
Patriot Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act (the “Patriot Act”), and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender and the Administrative Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 10.20
Independent Nature of Lenders.
The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender hereunder. Each Lender shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The decision of each Lender to enter into this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby has been made by such Lender independently of any other Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of RMG Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Lender or by any agent or employee of any other Lender, and no Lender or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Lender (or any other Person or
-55-
entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Each Lender had the opportunity to retain its own counsel and other advisors as it deemed appropriate and no counsel or other advisor for any Lender represented (or will be deemed to have represented) the other Lender in connection with the respective Lenders’ entry into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
