provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) shall have arisen from a dispute between or among the Indemnitees or from a claim of an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (in each case, other than any dispute involving claims against the Intercreditor Agent or against an Indemnitee in its capacity as a Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Bookrunner, agent or similar role hereunder, unless such claims arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (in each case, to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee)), which in either case is not the result of an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay in full any amount required under Section 10.7 (Costs and Expenses) or Section 10.10(a) above to be paid by it to the Intercreditor Agent or any Related Party thereof or the Common

Security Trustee or any Related Party thereof, each Secured Debt Holder severally agrees to pay to the Intercreditor Agent, the Common Security Trustee, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Secured Debt Holder’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Intercreditor Agent, the Common Security Trustee or the applicable Related Party, in its capacity as such. The obligations of the Secured Debt Holders to make payments pursuant to this Section 10.10(b) are several and not joint and shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(c) All amounts due under this Section 10.10 shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after demand therefor.
