			AMENDMENT NO. 1  (this “Amendment”), dated as of November 7, 2019, among Tradeweb Markets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and each Lender party hereto (constituting the Required Lenders), relating to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2019 (the  “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender.
		

		
			RECITALS:
		

		
			WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement to effect the changes described in Section 2 of this Amendment; and
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lenders party hereto which constitute the Required Lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) have agreed to make the changes described in Section 2 of this Amendment  as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
		

		
			NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto therefore agree as follows:
		

		
			SECTION 1.  Defined Terms. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein that is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Existing Credit Agreement.
		

		
			SECTION 2.  Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement.  The Existing Credit Agreement is, as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment, hereby amended (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), as follows:
		

		
			(a)  The definition of “Investors” in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
		

		
			“Investors” means each of (a) the Blackstone Funds and any of their Affiliates (other than any portfolio operating companies), (b) the CPPIB Funds and any of their Affiliates (other than any portfolio operating companies), (c) the GIC Funds and any of its Affiliates (other than any portfolio operating companies), (d) Refinitiv Holdings Ltd. (formerly known as King (Cayman) Holdings Ltd.) and any of its controlled Affiliates and any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (e) London Stock Exchange Group PLC and any of its controlled Affiliates.
		

		
			SECTION 3.  Representations of the Borrower.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Consenting Lenders that:
		

		
			(a)  The execution and delivery of this Amendment are within the Borrower’s corporate or other powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action.
		

		
			(b)  The Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted except where the failure to have the same would not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect and (c) is qualified to do business in, and (where such concept exists) is in good standing (or its equivalent, if any) in, every jurisdiction
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			where such qualification is required except where the failure to be so qualified or to be (where such concept exists) in good standing (or its equivalent, if any) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(c)  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
		

		
			(d)  The execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Borrower (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been, or will be by the time required, obtained or made and are, or will be by the time required, in full force and effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of the Borrower, (c) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower, except Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement, except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), for any such violations, defaults or rights that, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(e)  The representations and warranties contained in Article III of the Existing Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) on and as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date.
		

		
			SECTION 4.  Conditions to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:
		

		
			(a)       The Administrative Agent shall have received from (i) the Borrower and (ii) each Consenting Lender an executed counterpart hereof.
		

		
			(b)       Prior to and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been satisfied and (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 3 of this Amendment shall be true and correct in all material respects.
		

		
			SECTION 5.  Acknowledgment of Lenders.  Each Lender party hereto expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender party hereto represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to enter into this Amendment.

			Lender party hereto also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Each Lender party hereto hereby (a) confirms that it has received a copy of the Amended Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and such other documents (including financial statements) and information as it deems appropriate to make its decision to enter into this Amendment, (b) agrees that it shall be bound by the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (c) irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (d) acknowledges that this Amendment is a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			SECTION 6.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
		

		
			SECTION 7.  Fees & Expenses.  The Borrower hereby reconfirms its respective obligations pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Amended Credit Agreement to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment.  In addition (and without limiting the foregoing), the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower hereby confirms that the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9.03 of the Amended Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby, and such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs) expenses and disbursements (including fees, disbursements and charges of counsel) (as more fully set forth therein as applicable) which may arise herefrom or in connection herewith.
		

		
			SECTION 8.  Amended Credit Agreement Governs.  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.
		

		
			SECTION 9.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

			(c)        Limitations on Prepayments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05 to the extent that such prepayment would violate applicable Law, (ii) without duplication of the definition of “Net Proceeds,” amounts actually applied toward prepayment of any Pre-Petition First-Priority Lien Obligations in respect of the Existing ABL Facility or Hedging Obligations that are secured on a senior basis to the Obligations shall on a dollar-for-dollar basis reduce the amount required to be applied toward prepayments of the Loans pursuant hereto and (iii) no prepayment shall be made from Net Proceeds from Casualty Events or Dispositions, in each case solely with respect to any pre-petition collateral, prior to the payment in full of the Existing ABL Facility and the discharge of all Hedging Obligations that are secured on a senior basis to the Obligations.
		

		
			(d)        Interest. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon.
		

		
			(e)        Notice. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) a written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 at least one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment.  Each such notice shall be signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.
		

		
			SECTION 2.06.           Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, with all accrued interest thereon, without premium or penalty, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no voluntary prepayment of Roll-Up Loans may be made until all New Money Loans and all other Obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full in cash and all New Money Commitments have been terminated. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment.  Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.06 shall be applied pro rata to all Lenders, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under all Loans then outstanding.

			SECTION 2.07.          Interest.
		

		
			(a)        The New Money Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
		

		
			(b)        Commencing on the Final Order Entry Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Orders, the Roll-Up Loans shall bear interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum.
		

		
			(c)        If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any New Money Loan or (ii) any other amount payable under the Loan Documents in respect of the New Money Loans (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid interest) shall not be paid  when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is the Applicable Margin plus 2.00% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid (or satisfied) in full (after as well as before judgment).
		

		
			(d)        If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Roll-Up Loan or (ii) any other amount payable under the Loan Documents in respect of the Roll-Up Loans (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid interest) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid (or satisfied) in full (after as well as before judgment).
		

		
			(e)        Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Loan is made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) on each Interest Payment Date, and (ii) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
		

		
			(f)        All computations of interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
		

		
			SECTION 2.08.          Inability to Determine Rates.  If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period (an “Affected Interest Period”):
		

		
			(a)        the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, the “LIBO Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
		

		
			(b)        the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent in writing in the event they determine that for any reason that (A) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period, or (B) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan,
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			39

		

		

		
			the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the LIBO Rate shall be the same as for the immediately preceding Interest Period until such time as the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.
		

		
			SECTION 2.09.          Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.
		

		
			(a)        In the event that:
		

		
			(i)         a Change in Law occurring at any time after the Interim Facility Effective Date shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any New Money Lender, (B) subject any New Money Lender to any Tax (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.13 and (y) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (C) impose on any New Money Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, which, in the case of clause (A), (B) or (C), results in the cost to such New Money Lender of making or maintaining Loans increasing by an amount or the amounts received or receivable by such New Money Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced;
		

		
			then, and in any such event, such New Money Lender shall within a reasonable time thereafter give written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other New Money Lenders).  Thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to such New Money Lender, promptly (but no later than ten (10) days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such New Money Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such New Money Lender submitted to the Borrower by such New Money Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto).
		

		
			(b)        If, after the Interim Facility Effective Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any New Money Lender or compliance by any New Money Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy occurring after the Interim Facility Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such New Money Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such New Money Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder with respect to Loans to a level below that which such New Money Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such New Money Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) days) after written demand by such New Money Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such New Money Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such New Money Lender or its parent for such reduction.  Each New Money Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) upon receipt of such notice.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			40

		

		

		
			(c)        No Roll-Up Lender shall have any rights under this Section 2.09 in respect of Roll-Up Loans.
		

		
			SECTION 2.10.           No Discharge.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees that to the extent that its obligations under the Loan Documents have not been satisfied in full in cash, (i) its obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be discharged by any Reorganization Plan or any order confirming a Reorganization Plan (and each of the Credit Parties, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) as to the Obligations and (ii) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders and the Liens granted to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders shall not be affected in any manner by any Reorganization Plan or any order confirming a Reorganization Plan.
		

		
			SECTION 2.11.          Other Fees.
		

		
			(a)        The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Agent Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent).
		

		
			(b)        The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each New Money Lender, ratably in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of such Lender’s New Money Commitment (after giving effect to Section 2.01(e)) during the period from and including the Final Facility Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each month and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
		

		
			(c)        On the Interim Facility Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Initial Lender a fully-earned and non-refundable one-time backstop fee (the “Backstop Fee”) equal to the product of (i) 5.00% and (ii) each Initial Lender’s respective New Money Commitment. Each Initial Lender shall fund its respective Interim New Money Loans net of its Backstop Fee.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Initial Lender).
		

		
			(d)        On the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each New Money Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender, according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable exit fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of New Money Loans advanced by such New Money Lender (the “Exit Fee”).  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).
		

		
			SECTION 2.12.          Method and Place of Payment.
		

		
			(a)        Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind,
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			41

		

		

		
			to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the account of the Administrative Agent from time to time specified as the account for such purpose by written notice to the Borrower.  All payments under each Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made in U.S. Dollars.  The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be promptly distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.
		

		
			(b)        Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 12:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
		

		
			SECTION 2.13.          Taxes.
		

		
			(a)        Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
		

		
			(b)        Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
		

		
			(c)        Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, any Other Taxes.
		

		
			(d)        Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			42

		

		

		
			(e)        Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
		

		
			(f)        Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
		

		
			(g)        Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
		

		
			(i)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
		

		
			(A)       any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			43

		

		

		
			(B)       any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
		

		
			(1)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
		

		
			(2)        executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
		

		
			(3)        executed copies of IRS Form W-8EXP;
		

		
			(4)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‐8BEN-E; or
		

		
			(5)        to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W‐8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
		

		
			(C)       any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			44

		

		

		
			supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
		

		
			(D)       if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such 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), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
		

		
			Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
		

		
			(h)        Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
		

		
			(i)         Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			45

		

		

		
			replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the New Money Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
		

		
			SECTION 2.14.          Limit on Rate of Interest.
		

		
			(a)        No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate.  Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.
		

		
			(b)        Payment at Highest Lawful Rate.  If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 2.14(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
		

		
			(c)        Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate.  If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.07.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.
		

		
			SECTION 2.15.          Pro Rata Sharing.  Except as expressly set forth herein, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates under and in connection with this Agreement; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under Section 9.05, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each Lender; third, to the payment of interest and amounts under Sections 2.07 and 2.13, if any, then due and payable on the Loans ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of interest owed to each Lender; and fourth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans that is then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed to each such Lender.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			46

		

		

		
			SECTION 2.16.          Adjustments; Set-off.
		

		
			(a)        If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled to such payment, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent in writing and (ii) purchase for cash at face value participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
		

		
			(b)        Subject to the last paragraph of Section 7.02, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by the Orders and applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Credit Party.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			86

		

		

		
			(b)        The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.
		

		
			SECTION 8.02.           Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided,  however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent.  If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Subagents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Subagents.
		

		
			SECTION 8.03.           Exculpatory Provisions.  The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and their duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents:
		

		
			(i)         shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
		

		
			(ii)       shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders; provided that the Agents shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of their counsel, may expose the Agents to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			87

		

		

		
			(iii)      shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Persons serving as the Agents or any of their Affiliates in any capacity; and
		

		
			(iv)       shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).
		

		
			(b)        The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.03.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.
		

		
			(c)        The Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
		

		
			SECTION 8.04.          Reliance by Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a New Money Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a New Money Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such New Money Lender the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			88

		

		

		
			New Money Lender prior to the making of such New Money Loan.  The Agents may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts; provided that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law.  If any Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Any Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
		

		
			SECTION 8.05.           Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each individual Lender, as applicable.
		

		
			SECTION 8.06.           Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its New Money Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Credit Party.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			89

		

		

		
			Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any investigation or any appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it. Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.
		

		
			SECTION 8.07.         Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each in its capacity as such) and their respective Related Parties (acting in their capacity as Related Parties to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent acting in their capacity as such) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the New Money Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the New Money Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) occur, be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the New Money Commitments, the Loans, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or Related Party’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided,  further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.07.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 8.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			90

		

		

		
			limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto.  If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.07.  The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
		

		
			SECTION 8.08.          Agents in Their Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			SECTION 8.09.          Successor Agents.  Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor.  If, in the case of a resignation of a retiring Agent, no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided that if no such successor Agent has been appointed by the thirtieth (30th) day after the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.09.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			91

		

		

		
			may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Orders, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its Subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
		

		
			SECTION 8.10.          Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.  The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			SECTION 8.11.          Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
		

		
			(a)        to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent under Section 8.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
		

		
			(b)        to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			92

		

		

		
			and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 8.07.
		

		
			SECTION 8.12.          Collateral Matters.
		

		
			(a)        The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document or the Orders (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement claims to the extent no claim therefor has been made), (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 8.01, or (iii) pursuant to the Orders.  Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property in accordance with this Section.
		

		
			(b)        Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Liens thereon created pursuant to the Orders or any Loan Document.  Subject to Section 8.01, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition of assets to a Person that is not the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and permitted by this Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition of assets to a Person that is not the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 8.01) have otherwise consented or (c) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 8.01) have otherwise consented.

			MISCELLANEOUS
		

		
			SECTION 9.01.          Amendments and Waivers.
		

		
			(a)        Without Consent of the Lenders.
		

		
			The Administrative Agent may (at the direction of the Required Lenders) amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without notice to or consent of any Lender:
		

		
			(i)         to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;
		

		
			(ii)       to add a Guarantor with respect to the Loans or Collateral to secure the Loans; and
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			93

		

		

		
			(iii)      to release Collateral or a Guarantee as permitted by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Orders.
		

		
			Each Lender hereunder (x) consents to the amendment of any Loan Document in the manner and for the purposes set forth in this Section 9.01(a), (y) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any amendment to any Loan Document pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and (z) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendment to any Loan Document pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) on behalf of such Lender.
		

		
			(b)        With Consent of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the written consent of the Required Lenders, and any past default or noncompliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders (except that the Agent Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto (without the need for the consent of any other party hereto).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Lender of an affected Loan, no amendment may:
		

		
			(i)         reduce the principal amount of such Loans whose Lenders must consent to an amendment,
		

		
			(ii)       reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of interest on, any Loan,
		

		
			(iii)      reduce the principal of or change the stated maturity of any Loan,
		

		
			(iv)       reduce the premium payable (if any) upon prepayment of any Loan or change the time at which any such premium must be paid;
		

		
			(v)        make any Loan payable in money other than that stated in this Agreement,
		

		
			(vi)       expressly subordinate the Loans (or Liens securing the Loans) or any related Guarantee to any other Indebtedness (or Lien, as the case may be) of the Borrower or any Guarantor or, except as provided by operation of law and otherwise permitted hereunder, amend or modify (or consent to the amendment or modification of) the Superpriority Claims status of the Loans as set forth in Section 6.05 or under any Loan Document,
		

		
			(vii)     impair the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest on such Lender’s Loans on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Lender’s Loans (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates),
		

		
			(viii)    make any change in the second sentence of this Section 9.01(b) or the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” or any other provision hereof expressly specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			94

		

		

		
			(ix)       release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, whether in one or more transactions, or
		

		
			(x)        make any change in the provisions dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral in the Orders or this Agreement that would adversely affect the Lenders;
		

		
			provided further that no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that directly and adversely affects the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any other former or current Agent to whom Article VIII then applies.
		

		
			SECTION 9.02.          Notices.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile or electronic mail), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy or electronic mail notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth on Schedule 2.01 in the case of the other parties hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

			SECTION 9.06.          Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
		

		
			(a)        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 Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.06.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.06), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			(b)        (i)        Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and the limitations on assignments set forth in paragraphs (e) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its New Money Commitments and the Loans (which may
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			98

		

		

		
			either be New Money Loans or Roll-Up Loans, or any combination thereof) at the time owing to it) by:
		

		
			(A)       providing written notice to the Borrower; and
		

		
			(B)       obtaining the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
		

		
			(ii)       Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
		

		
			(A)       except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning New Money Lender’s New Money Commitments or Loans under the DIP Facility, the amount of the New Money Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000 (and shall be in an amount of an integral multiple thereof)), unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;
		

		
			(B)       each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
		

		
			(C)       the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recordation fee shall be payable for all such assignments; and
		

		
			(D)       the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms (including those described in Sections 2.13(d),  (e),  (h) and (i), as applicable).
		

		
			For the purposes of this Section 9.06(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender.

			(iii)      Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 9.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 and 9.05).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.06.
		

		
			(iv)       The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non‐fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the New Money Commitments of, and principal and stated interest amounts of the Loans (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
		

		
			(v)        Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.06 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (i)(A) and/or (i)(B) of this Section 9.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
		

		
			(c)        (i)        Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its New Money Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			100

		

		

		
			waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the second sentence of Section 9.01(b) that directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.06, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.06.
		

		
			(ii)       Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and stated interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any New Money Commitments, Loans or other Obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such New Money Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
		

		
			(iii)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
		

		
			(d)        Any 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 such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.06 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 release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B.
		

		
			(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Borrower.
		

		
			SECTION 9.07.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			101

		

		

		
			constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
		

		
			SECTION 9.08.          Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			SECTION 9.09.        GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

			(b)        Each of the parties hereto, to the extent that it has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction

Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s evaluation of whether to become a Lender hereunder or obtained by such Lender or Agent pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement (other than information that (a) has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Section 9.13, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender or such Agent without violating this Section 9.13 or (c) was or becomes available to such Lender or such Agent from a third party which, to such person’s knowledge, had not breached an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other Credit Party) (“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in any event may make disclosure (a) as required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded or pursuant to legal process or to such Lender’s or Agent’s attorneys, professional advisors or independent auditors or Affiliates, (b) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or self‐regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (c) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (d) to any pledgee under Section 9.06 or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so
