4.7.3   Increased Costs.  If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of such Governmental Authority, provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be issued after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued:
 
(a)           shall subject the Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on the Loan or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (without duplication of any taxes covered by Section 4.10 and without coverage of any taxes expressly excluded by Section 4.10); or
 
(b)           shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board other than those used to calculate the LIBOR Rate), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) or shall impose on the Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting the Loan;
 
and the result of any event of the kind described in this Section 4.7.3, is to increase the costs to the Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender under this Agreement in an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then the Lender may promptly notify the Parent Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen
 
 
 
20

 
 
(15) days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of such notice from the Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction.  The Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle the Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7.3.  The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that the Lender funded the LIBOR Rate Loans, in the interbank eurocurrency market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which the Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender shall be delivered by the Lender to the  Parent Borrower and shall be conclusively presumed to be absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Lender shall not demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7.3 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that the Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).
 
4.7.4   Reserved.
 
4.7.5   Mitigation.  If the Lender demands compensation under Section 4.7.3 or if the obligation of the Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans is suspended under Section 4.7.2, then the Lender will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different Lending Office for the Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation or permit the Lender to make and maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan under Section 4.7.2 and would not, in the sole judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth the additional amount or amounts required to compensate the Lender in respect of any increased costs, the changes as a result of which such amounts are due and the manner of computing such amounts shall be deemed conclusive, provided that the determinations set forth in such certificate are made reasonably and in good faith.  If the Lender demands compensation from the Parent Borrower under this Section 4.7 more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Lender had knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such compensation, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Lender for amounts incurred as a result of the occurrence of such event more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which the Lender made such demand (provided that if the event giving rise to the compensation or indemnification is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.7, the Lender shall not demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.
 
Section 4.8   Indemnity.
 
The Parent Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lender as a result of any payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan by the Parent Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, other than pursuant to Section 4.7.2.  The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that the Lender funded a LIBOR Rate
 
 
 
21

 
 
Loan in the interbank eurocurrency market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which the Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender shall be delivered by the Lender to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.  The Parent Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
Section 4.9   Capital Requirements.
 
If either (a) the introduction of, or any change or proposed change in, or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law, or (b) compliance with any guideline or request issued after the Closing Date from any central bank or comparable agency or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be issued after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of (other than by reason of the imposition of Taxes covered by Section 4.10), or has affected or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by, the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender, below the rate which the Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance by an amount the Lender deems material (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies, and the policies of the Lender’s holding company, in each case, with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Lender from time to time as specified by the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or other corporation for such reduction.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amounts necessary to compensate the Lender shall be delivered by the Lender to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Lender shall not demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.9 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that the Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).  The Parent Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
Section 4.10   Taxes.
 
4.10.1   Payments Free and Clear.  Any and all payments by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding in the case of the Lender (i) income, franchise or similar taxes imposed on (or measured by) its income imposed by any Governmental Authority and (ii) any withholding taxes payable with respect to payments hereunder or under the other

4.10.2   Stamp and Other Taxes.  In addition, each Credit Party shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made by such Credit Party hereunder (except for the excluded taxes covered by Sections 4.10.1) or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise similarly with respect to, this Agreement, the Loan, the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto or the enforcement of the rights of the Lender under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
 
4.10.3   Indemnity.
 
(a)           The relevant Credit Party shall indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Taxes payable or paid by the Lender or that such Credit Party should have withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender, but failed to withhold or deduct, pursuant to Section 4.10.1 and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.10) paid by the Lender and any liability (including interest and penalties, if any) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
 
(b)           (i)  In the event a claim against the Lender arises that is covered by the indemnity provisions of this Section 4.10.3, notice shall be given promptly by the Lender to the Parent Borrower.
 
 
 
23

 
 
(ii)           If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for the entire amount of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10.3, then the relevant Credit Party shall have the right to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any such third-party claim and to control all settlements of any such third-party claim (unless the Lender agrees to assume the cost of settlement and to forgo such indemnity) and to select lead counsel to defend any and all such third-party claims at the sole cost and expense of the Parent Borrower, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Parent Borrower may not effect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or liability to the Lender unless the Lender consents in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Lender may select and engage counsel to participate in any defense, in which event such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the party selecting and engaging such counsel.  In connection with any such claim, action or proceeding, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession.
 
(iii)           If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for only a portion of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10.3, then the relevant Credit Party shall have the right to consult with the Lender regarding such claim, any settlement and the selection of lead counsel to defend such claim.
 
(iv)           If the Lender shall become aware that it is or may be entitled to receive a refund, credit or reduction (including interest and penalties, if any) in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes, it promptly shall notify the Parent Borrower of the availability of such refund, credit or reduction and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by the Parent Borrower pursue or timely claim such refund, credit or reduction at the relevant Credit Party’s expense.  If the Lender receives a refund or realizes a credit or reduction in tax in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the relevant Credit Party or for which the Lender has received payment from the relevant Credit Party hereunder, it promptly shall repay the amount of such refund to the relevant Credit Party, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the relevant Credit party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to it (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
 
4.10.4   No Requirement to Disclose Tax Returns.  Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Parent Borrower or any other person.
 
4.10.5   Evidence of Payment.  Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the relevant Credit Party shall furnish to the Lender, at its address referred to in Section 13.1.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Lender.

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 
(i)           if the Lender is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the Parent Borrower executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower as will enable the Parent Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
 
(ii)           if the Lender is a Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, it shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Parent Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of the Parent Borrower, but only if the Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(V)      executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws to permit the Parent Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
 
(iii)    the Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the applicable Borrower make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to the Lender; and
 
(iv)    if a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal 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 Parent Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower as may be necessary for the applicable Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
 
For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Credit Parties and the Lender shall treat this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(a)           The relevant Credit Party shall not be required to indemnify the Lender or to pay any additional amounts to the Lender in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.10 to the extent that (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have
 
 
 
26

(b)           The Lender, if it is claiming any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.10, shall use all reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) that would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue (including but not limited to filing any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or changing the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office).

(a)           There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer, threatened, against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or the properties of any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator that, if determined adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(b)           Neither any Credit Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default (in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect) with respect to any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect and applicable to any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary.

6.1.10      ERISA.
 
(a)           Each Plan has complied with and has been administered in all material respects in accordance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No Pension Plan has terminated under circumstances giving rise to liability of the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC under Section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, which liability remains unpaid in whole or in part, and no lien under Section 4068 of ERISA exists with respect to the assets of the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate.  No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, except for Reportable Events that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Pension Plan has an unpaid minimum required contribution under Section 303 of ERISA or Section 430 of the Code, nor does any lien under Section 303 of ERISA or Section 430 of the Code exist with respect to any Pension Plan.
 
(b)           Neither the Parent Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has completely or partially withdrawn from any one or more Multiemployer Plans under circumstances which have given rise to or would give rise to withdrawal liability under ERISA which, in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect and which has not been fully paid as of the Closing Date.
 
 
 
31

 
 
Neither the Parent Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization (within the meaning of Section 4241 of ERISA), is insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA), or has terminated under Title IV of ERISA, nor, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, has any such reorganization, insolvency or termination occurred, where such reorganization, insolvency or termination has resulted in an increase in the contributions required to be made to such Multiemployer Plan in an amount that would have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Parent Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any contribution to a Multiemployer Plan which is required under ERISA or an applicable collective bargaining agreement in an amount which is material in the aggregate (except to the extent there is a good faith dispute as to whether any contribution is owed, the amount owed or the existence of facts that would give rise to a withdrawal).
 
(c)           Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all Applicable Law and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable Governmental Authorities except where the failure to do any of the foregoing has not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made, except where the failure to so timely make such contribution has not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  No Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan, except for any obligations which have not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  The present value of the accumulated benefit liabilities under each Foreign Pension Plan does not exceed the current fair market value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities (any such excess a “value shortfall”), except for any such value shortfalls which have not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

6.1.13        Investment Company Act.  Neither the Parent Borrower nor any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 3(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

6.1.15   Compliance with Law.  Each Credit Party has timely filed all material reports, documents and other materials required to be filed by it under all Applicable Law with any Governmental Authority, has retained all material records and documents required to be retained by it under all Applicable Law, and is otherwise in compliance with all Applicable Law in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership and operation of its properties, except in each case to the extent that the failure to comply therewith, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
6.1.16   Sanctions.  Neither the Parent Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (ii) included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals, Her Majesty Treasury’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the Investment Ban List, or any similar list enforced by any other relevant sanctions authority to which the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (iii) located, organized or resident in a Designated Jurisdiction.
 
6.1.17   Anti-Corruption Laws.  The Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in compliance in all material respects with all anti-corruption laws applicable to it, and the Credit Parties have instituted and currently maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with such laws.

Section 6.3   Labor Matters.
 
Neither any Credit Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged in any unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, that would have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, before the National Labor Relations Board, except for any such complaint that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for any such strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) no union representation question exists with respect to the employees of any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for any such question that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 10.6        Remedies.
 
Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.2.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.2) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor.

Section 10.9   Termination of Guaranty Upon Divestiture.
 
The obligations of any Guarantor under this Article X shall automatically terminate as to such Guarantor upon any consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition or liquidation or dissolution permitted by Section 9.3 as a result of which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower immediately after the consummation of such transaction and any outstanding amounts owing in respect of such obligations shall have been paid in full.

11.2.1   Acceleration.  Declare the principal of and interest on the Loan at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 11.1.8, 11.1.9 or 11.1.10 with respect to any of the Credit Parties, all Obligations shall automatically become due and payable.
 
11.2.2        Reserved.

Section 11.3   Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc.
 
The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Lender set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Credit Parties, the Lender or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 13.2   Expenses, Indemnity.
 
Each party to this Agreement agrees to pay all its own fees and expenses in connection with the Loan Documents and any amendment, modification or waiver of the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Parent Borrower agrees to (a) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, whenever the same shall be executed and delivered, including without limitation the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket due diligence expenses and reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one counsel and (ii) where applicable, the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, amendment or consent by the Lender relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel representing the Lender, (b) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender actually incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights and remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents, against such party, including, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances, consulting with accountants, attorneys and other Persons concerning the nature, scope or value of any right or remedy of the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any factual matters in connection therewith, which expenses shall include without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of such Persons and (c) pay any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Lender as a result of conduct of any Credit Party that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC.  The Parent Borrower hereby indemnifies, exonerates and holds the Lender and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) free and harmless from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, reasonable consultants’ fees and settlement costs) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loan and the Loan Documents or as a result of the breach of any of the Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder or arising from the use by others of Information, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Indemnitee by reason of the relevant Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Parent Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding to which the
 
 
 
55

 
 
indemnity in this Section 13.2 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a third party, the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party.  This Section 13.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)           consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
 
(c)           agrees that service of process to any Credit Party in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Parent Borrower at its address set forth in Section 13.1.2 or at such other address of which the Lender shall have been notified pursuant thereto, it being agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Parent Borrower is hereby appointed as the agent for each Guarantor to receive on its behalf and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or court;
 
(d)           agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment to the Lender which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Lender.
 
Section 13.7        Accounting Matters.
 
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time, provided that, if the Parent Borrower notifies the Lender that the Credit Parties request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Lender notifies the Parent Borrower that its requests an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance therewith.
 
Section 13.8        Successors and Assigns; Participations; Confidentiality.
 
13.8.1   Benefit of Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Credit Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 13.8.2 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Lender without such consent shall be null and void).
 
13.8.2   Assignment by the Lender.  The Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, the Parent Borrower agrees to respond to a request from the Lender for such consent within a reasonable period of time not to exceed 10 Business Days from receipt of said request.
 
13.8.3   Participations.
 
 
 
57

 
 
(a)           The Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person or the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such participation shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 13.8.3(b), the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10.1, 4.10.3 or 13.2 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.8.2.
 
(b)           No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10.1 or 4.10.3 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the Parent Borrower specifically consents to such right.  Any Participant that is a Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10.1 or 4.10.3 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10.6.
 
(c)           If the Lender sells a participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Lender shall not 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, letters of credit 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, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the 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.
 
13.8.4   Certain Pledges or Assignments.
 
The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.8.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall (i) release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto or (iii) grant any such pledgee or assignee any rights under any Loan Document.
 
 
58

 
 
Section 13.9   Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality.
 
The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (after providing notice to the Parent Borrower, to the extent practicable, to permit an opportunity to seek a protective order or injunctive relief), (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (e) with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower, (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.9 by the Lender or (ii) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties unless the Lender has actual knowledge that the disclosure of such Information by such source constituted a breach of an obligation of such source to maintain confidentiality of such Information, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information (customarily found in such publications) upon the Parent Borrower’s prior review and approval or (j) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about the Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to the Lender. For the purposes of this Section 13.9, “Information” means all information received from the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Credit Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Credit Parties.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.9 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.
 
Section 13.10  Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
 
Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lender and any consent may be given by the Lender, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Lender and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Credit Parties.

Section 13.17        Counterparts.
 
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
