respective Affiliates prepares or proposes to transmit or disclose that contain
the Agent's or any Lender's name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any
of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Nothing
contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize any Borrower
or any of its respective Affiliates to contract on behalf of the Agent or any

Lender's name, such Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of such disclosure
upon becoming aware of the need for such disclosure. The parties hereto agree
that Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates may (i) disclose a general
description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising,
marketing or other similar purposes, and (ii) use any Borrower's name, logo or
other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising,
marketing or other similar purposes.
