Neither the Local Currency Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any of the Borrowers or any Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

If no successor Local Currency Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Local Currency Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Majority Local Currency Banks’ removal of the retiring Local Currency Agent, then the retiring Local Currency Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Local Currency Banks, a successor Local Currency Agent, which need not be one of its affiliates.
