(i)

If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or, in either case, any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or, in either case, any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(3) in the case of a non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E (or, in either case, any successor form); or

(4) to the extent a non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9 (or, in the case of any of the foregoing, any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)

any non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the 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), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation 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 as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

The Lender agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, the Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its inability to do so.

(h)

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 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), 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 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 paragraph (h) (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 paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) 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 paragraph 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.

(i)

Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j)

The Borrower hereby designates Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx agrees to serve, as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(j). The Lender shall maintain at its principal office (within the United States) a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the lenders, the percentages of such lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each type of advance owing to, each such lender from time to time. The Borrower, Xxxxxx and any other lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any lender upon reasonable notice to the Lender and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment or transfer of a Loan or Commitment shall be effective until recorded in the Register.

(k)

If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then the Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(c)

Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect (1) its legal existence and (2) the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of its business, except, solely in the case of this clause (2), where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any action permitted by Section 6.1 of the Merger Agreement.

Section 5.2 Obligations and Taxes

Pay and discharge all its federal, state, and other Taxes imposed upon it or in respect of its property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims against it for labor, materials and supplies that, in each cash, if unpaid, would give rise to a Lien upon its properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such Tax or claim (a) so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (b) to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)

promptly after the request by the Lender, all documentation and other information that the Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with any requirements of any applicable Laws relating to the prevention of money laundering or terrorist financing, including, without limitation any “know your customer”, anti-terrorism, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering rules and regulations promulgated under the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act; and

Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Borrower. The Borrower shall be entitled to have a Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement) present at all times during any inspection or access to information, and all such inspections or access granted pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be subject to the Borrower’s reasonable security measures. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall maintain and exercise complete control and supervision over the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Borrower or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

(b)

The Borrower may, as it deems advisable and necessary, designate competitively sensitive material as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient, pursuant to the terms of an agreement with respect thereto on terms that are reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the Borrower and pursuant to which such information shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to any directors, officers or employees of the recipient without the express prior permission of the Borrower or its legal counsel, and shall be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.6, including all information and/or discussions resulting from any access provided pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be kept confidential.

(c)

To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 5.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened Proceedings (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

(d)

Nothing in this Section 5.6 or in any other part of this Agreement shall require the Borrower to permit any inspection of or access to or to disclose (i) any information concerning Acquisition Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which shall be governed by Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement or (ii) any information regarding the deliberations of the board of directors of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or any similar transaction or transactions with any other Person, the entry into this Agreement, or any materials provided to the board of directors of the Borrower in connection therewith.

For the avoidance of doubt, the deposit accounts identified on Schedule V in the schedules to the Security Agreement on the date hereof shall not be subject to Control Agreements.

(d)

Any cash dividends, distributions or other proceeds on the Equity Collateral shall be deposited and maintained in an account subject to a Control Agreement.

Section 5.9 Further Assurances

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) owing to the Lender have been paid in full and the Commitment has been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15 and 10.5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lender.

(c)

Assignments under clause (b)(i) above shall be subject to the following conditions (i) the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is executed) shall be not less than the entire amount of such Lender’s Loan, (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute an Assignment and Acceptance, (iii) such Eligible Assignee shall assume the obligations of the Lender with respect to any outstanding Commitment, and (iv) the Lender shall assign all of its security interest in the Collateral to such Eligible Assignee. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 2.15(j) and paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a Party and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(d)

By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the outstanding balance of its portion of the Loans, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial

condition of the Loan Parties or the performance or observance by the Loan Parties of any of their obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to this Section 10.4; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e)

Participations shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) subject to clause (v) below, each participating bank shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions contained in Section 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its participation by assignment; provided that it agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15(k) as if it were an assignee, (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitment in which such participating bank has an interest or releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral) and (v) no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, with respect to its participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of 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 obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or in each case amended or successor versions) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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.

(f)

Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.4, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower and/or the other Loan Parties furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and/or the other Loan Parties; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16.

(g)

Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender.

(h)

The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(i)

The Borrower shall be notified by a Lender of its intent to assign at least three (3) days prior to the effectiveness of any assignment, during which such three (3) day period the Borrower and the assigning Lender shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree on one or more acceptable assignees, it being understood that this subsection (i) shall not limit such Xxxxxx’s assignment rights under this Section 10.4 at the expiry of such three (3) day period.

Section 10.5 Expenses; Indemnity

(a)

[reserved].

(b)

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than legal expenses of outside counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans

or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgement in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) have resulted from any dispute that is among Indemnitees that did not involve actions or omissions of the Borrower. This Section 10.5(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, neither the Borrower nor the Lender shall assert, and the Borrower and the Lender hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, the Borrower or any of their respective Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d)

The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lender. All amounts payable under this Section 10.5 shall be due immediately upon written demand therefor (together with delivery of reasonably detailed supporting documentation).

Section 10.6 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to 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 the Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 10.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lender may have.

Section 10.7 [Reserved]

Section 10.8 Governing Law

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.9 Waivers; Amendment

(a)

No failure or delay of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender)) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY 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 THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12 Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.13 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.3. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto 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.

(b)

The Lender and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court.

(c)

Section 10.16 Confidentiality

(a)

The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be (I) used by the Lender hereto, its affiliates, agents and/or hedging counterparties in connection with, or upon, 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 or (II) disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’, branches, offices, officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, other advisors and persons appointed to provide administration or settlement services (including in relation to the trading of Participations) in respect of the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, self-regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Lender agrees that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination or any other general inquiry that is not specific to the Borrower and/or its Affiliates) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of its obligations, (f) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (g)

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE

Section 11.1 Guarantee

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of all the Obligations.

(b) Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, or otherwise waived or modified, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal, waiver or modification of any Obligation. Without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights to receive demands for payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

Section 11.2 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Lender to any security held for the payment of any of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and applies to all of its Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter incurred.

Section 11.3 No Limitations, Etc.

(a) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than a defense of payment in full) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension, renewal, amendment or other modification of any of the Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (v) the release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on, any security held by the Lender for any of the Obligations; (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations (other than a defense of payment in full); (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party, or any United States (Federal or state) or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, winding-up or other similar proceeding affecting any Loan Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any of the Obligations; (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that any Guarantor may have at any time against any other Loan Party, the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any unrelated transaction; (ix) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the Lender’s rights with respect thereto; or (x) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act or any other circumstance that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) guaranteed hereunder by such Guarantor) or which would impair or limit the right of any Guarantor to subrogation.

(b) Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Lender to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security in accordance with its terms and direct the order and manner of any sale, transfer or other disposition thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents and otherwise in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations). The Lender may, at its election but, in each case, solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents, foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against the Borrower or any other Loan Party without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be.

Section 11.4 Reinstatement

Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise.

Section 11.5 Agreement to Pay

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Lender may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Lender, forthwith pay in cash the amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums as provided in this Section 11.5, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) owed by the Borrower or Guarantor to the Lender.

Section 11.6 Information

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lender will have no duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
