(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Existing Term Loans that are Transferred to or by a Consenting Term Lender pursuant to an Open Trade shall not be subject to, or bound by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (it being understood that such Existing Term Loans so Transferred to and held by a Consenting Term Lender for its own account (i.e., not as part of a short transaction, or to be Transferred by the Consenting Term Lender under an Open Trade or any other transaction entered into by such Consenting Term Lender prior to, and pending as of the date of, such Consenting Term Lender’s entry into this Agreement) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, as provided in Section 7(d)).

-17- to a Transferee that is not a Consenting Term Lender at the time of such transfer without the requirement that the Transferee be a Permitted Transferee. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply to (i) liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a trustee (on behalf of the secured parties) in connection with any applicable collateralized loan obligations or (ii) the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such claims and interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims and interests. 8.

No Consenting Term Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations or any breach of any other Consenting Term Lender under this Agreement, and nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Consenting Term Lender pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Consenting Term Lenders as a partnership, an association, or a joint venture of any kind, or create a presumption that the Consenting Term Lenders are in any way acting other than in their individual capacities. None of the Consenting Term Lenders shall have any fiduciary duty or other duties or responsibilities of any kind or form to each other, the Company Parties, or any of the Company’s other lenders or stakeholders as a result of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby. Each Consenting Term Lender acknowledges that no other Consenting

Each Consenting Term Lender acknowledges to each other Consenting Term Lender and to each of the Company Parties (including to any Person acting on behalf of any of the Company Parties, including any financial or other advisor of any of the foregoing) that: (a) the Transactions described herein are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and the Company’s Affiliates and each Consenting Term Lender; (b) it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; (c) it has the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that it is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, merits, risks and conditions of the Transactions contemplated hereby, including of the securities to be acquired by it pursuant to such Transactions, and has had such opportunity as it has deemed adequate to obtain such information as is necessary to permit such Party to evaluate the terms, merits, risks and conditions of the Transactions contemplated hereby and of the securities to be acquired by it pursuant to such Transactions; and (d) the Consenting Term Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the other Consenting Term Lenders, the Company, and the Company’s Affiliates or the Affiliates of the other Consenting Term Lenders, and the Consenting Term Lenders have no obligation to disclose any such interests to any other Consenting Term Lender, the Company, the Company’s Affiliates, or the Affiliates of any other Consenting Term Lender. Each Consenting Term Lender further acknowledges for the benefit of each of the Company Parties (including for the benefit of any Person acting on behalf of any of the Company Parties, including any financial, legal or other advisor of any of the foregoing) that it has, independently and without reliance upon any statement, representation or warranty made by any Party or Person (or any such other Party’s or Person’s financial, legal or other advisors or representatives), other than those expressly contained in this Agreement, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it has not relied on the credit analysis and decision or due diligence investigation of any other Party or Person (or any such other Party’s or Person’s financial, legal or other advisors or representatives). No securities of the Company are being offered or sold hereby, and this Agreement neither constitutes an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.
