If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of Lending Parties, with, unless an Event of Default exists, the consent of Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.06; provided that, if such Agent shall notify Lending Parties and Administrative Borrower that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by any Agent on behalf of any Lending Party under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lending Party directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments and expense reimbursement owed to the retiring Agent), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
SECTION 9.07 | NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. |
Each Lending Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lending Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lending Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lending Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.09 | EACH AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. |

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lending Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lending Party or to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lending Party in any such proceeding.
SECTION 9.10 | GUARANTY MATTERS. |
Each Secured Party hereby: (a) irrevocably authorizes each Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and (b) agrees that, upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, it will confirm in writing each Agent's authority to release any such Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.10.

SECTION 10.04 | EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER. |
136
137
SECTION 10.05 | MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. |
Neither Agent nor any other Lending Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any asset in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to any Agent or any other Lending Party, or any Agent or any other Lending Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Agent or any other Lending Party in such Person's discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred; and (b) each Lending Party severally agrees to pay to each Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such Agent plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

138
SECTION 10.06 | SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. |
139
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 10.06, from and after the date recorded in the Register, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lending Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lending Party shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07, Section 2.08 and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver Notes to the assignee Lending Party. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
140
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 10.06.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents: (A) no Lender shall be required to comply with this Section 10.06(b) in connection with any assignment of all or any portion of its rights and other obligations under or relating to the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Affiliate of such Lender (other than any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) or any Approved Fund related to such Lender, and such Lender shall have no obligation to disclose any such assignment to any such Person; provided that such Lender shall continue to be liable as a "Lender" under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such time, if at all, that such Lender and such other Person have complied with the provisions of this Section 10.06(b) in order for such other Person to become a "Lender" hereunder; (B) a Lender may pledge, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights and other obligations under or relating to the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a financial institution or other funding source (other than any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or any natural person) or any trustee or agent therefor in support of obligations owing by such Lender to such Person(s); (C) any Lender which is a fund may pledge, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights and other obligations under or relating to the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to its trustee (except if such trustee is any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) in support of its obligation to its trustee; and (D) no pledge or grant of a security interest pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (A) or (C) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and such Lender such Lender shall continue to be liable as a "Lender" under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such time, if at all, that such Lender and such other Person have complied with the provisions of this Section 10.06(b) in order for such other Person to become a "Lender" hereunder.
Any document pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such document may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
141
Section 2.07 and Section 2.08, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.08(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender who shall hold such documentation for its behalf and on behalf of Borrowers and Agents)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.07 or Section 2.08, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of a Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (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 commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form for the purposes of the Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
SECTION 10.07 | TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. |
Each Agent and each other Lending Party (on behalf of itself and its Related Parties) each agrees to treat the Information in a confidential manner and to not disclose the Information to Persons not party to this Agreement (or Affiliates thereof), except that Information may be disclosed (including by means of the Electronic Platform): (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, representatives and funding and financing sources (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential on the same terms as provided herein); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that each Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use commercially reasonable efforts to give Administrative Borrower advance notice of such disclosure (to the extent not prohibited and reasonably possible); provided further that no such advance notice shall be required to be delivered with respect to any routine audit or examination conducted by any banking authority, auditor, or any governmental agency or other authority exercising examination or regulatory authority over any Agent or any Lender which such examination is not directly
142
focused on a Borrower, Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Agents or Lenders, as applicable, shall notify the Borrowers to the extent practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Laws); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to "Gold Sheets" or other similar bank trade publications announcements; provided that such information consist solely of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07 to: (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction or credit insurance relating to any Loan Party; (h) with the consent of each Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07; or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lending Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other any Loan Party and not in contravention of this Section 10.07. For purposes of this Section 10.07, "Information" means all material non-public information (including financial information) received from any Loan Party relating to such Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any other Lending Party on a non-confidential basis, and not in contravention of this Section 10.07, prior to disclosure by such Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07: (A) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; and (B) shall not disclose any financial information concerning any Loan Party or its business (including any information based on any such financial information) or use any such financial information for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of the applicable Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party authorizes each Lending Party to make announcements which are commonly known as "tombstones" of the financial arrangements entered into among the Loan Parties, the Agents, and Xxxxxxx, in such publications as each Lending Party may in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate. Any other announcements regarding the financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Agents and Lenders may only be made with the Borrowers' prior consent.
SECTION 10.08 | RIGHT OF SETOFF. |
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of Lending Parties and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lending Party to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations to such Lending Party or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lending Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lending Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligations. The rights of each Lending Party and its Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lending Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Lending Party agrees to notify each Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDING PARTY SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET OFF, BANKER'S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF A BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY HELD OR MAINTAINED BY
143
SUCH LENDING PARTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
SECTION 10.09 | INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. If an Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws: (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.10 | COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. |
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous documents, agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by each Agent and when each Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in portable document format or by electronic signature shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Electronic signatures shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
SECTION 10.11 | SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. |
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loans or any other Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) have not been Paid in Full.
SECTION 10.12 | SEVERABILITY. |
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
144
SECTION 10.13 | PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. |
Each Lending Party that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lending Party) hereby notify each Borrower and each other Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, they are each required to obtain, verify, and record, and each Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees to provide to the requesting Lending Party or Agent promptly upon request, information that identifies each Borrower and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lending Party or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 10.14 | [RESERVED]. |
SECTION 10.15 | TIME OF THE ESSENCE. |
Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.16 | GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC. |
145
SECTION 10.17 | WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. |
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
SECTION 10.18 | RELEASE. |
Upon the proposed Disposition of any Collateral (including any Equity Interests) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Required Lenders have otherwise consented for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a security interest release from an Agent and/or release of a Guarantor under its guaranty, such Loan Party shall deliver an officer's certificate: (a) stating that the Collateral or Guarantor the subject to such Disposition is being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) specifying the Collateral being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. To the extent permitted by this Agreement (and each Agent shall be permitted, but not required to rely on such certificate), upon receipt thereof, each Agent shall, at such Loan Party's expense, return to such Loan Party any such Collateral in the possession or control of such Agent and execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral and/or guaranty as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.
SECTION 10.19 | TERMINATION. |
This Agreement will terminate (other than indemnification provisions and other provisions that by their express terms survive termination of this Agreement) upon the payment in full of all Obligations of each Borrower (other than Unasserted Obligations). Upon any such termination, each Agent will, at each Borrower's expense, return to the applicable Loan Party any Collateral in the possession or control of each Agent or any Lender and execute and deliver to the Loan Parties such documents as any Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and release of security interests and guarantees.
SECTION 10.20 | ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF AFFECTED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. |
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to
146
the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
SECTION 10.21 | ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS. |
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
