ANNEX
A

 

INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

 

THIS
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 10th day of August, 2015, by and between
Relmada Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and Shreeram Agharkar (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation, which is organized under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), wishes to enter into this
Agreement to set forth certain rights and obligations of the Indemnitee and the Corporation with respect to the Indemnitee’s
service as a director of the Corporation;

 

WHEREAS,
it is essential to the Corporation that it be able to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;

 

WHEREAS,
increased corporate litigation has subjected directors and officers to litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the
availability of directors and officers liability insurance have made it difficult for the Corporation to attract and retain such
persons;

 

WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has determined that the difficulty in attracting and
retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation’s stockholders and that the Corporation should
contractually obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law so that they will serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS,
Indemnitee performs a valuable service to the Corporation in Indemnitee’s capacity as a director of the Corporation;

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) include provisions providing for the indemnification
of the directors and officers of the Corporation, including persons serving at the request of the Corporation in such capacities
with other corporations or enterprises, as authorized by the NRS;

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), the Bylaws and the NRS, by their nonexclusive
nature, permit contracts between the Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to indemnification of such persons;

 

WHEREAS,
in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (a) substantial protection against personal liability as a condition to Indemnitee’s
service to the Corporation in Indemnitee’s capacity as a director of the Corporation in addition to Indemnitee’s reliance
on the Bylaws, which Indemnitee believes is inadequate in the present circumstances, and (b) specific contractual assurance of
Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against risks and expenses (regardless of, among other things, any amendment
to or revocation of the Charter and/or the Bylaws, any change in the composition of the Corporation’s Board, or a change
in control of the Corporation);

 

    	 	A-1	 

     

    

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee with greater protection than that which is provided by the Bylaws;
and

 

WHEREAS,
in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Corporation, the Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into
this Agreement with Indemnitee.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s service as a director of the Corporation following the date hereof, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and Indemnitee
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.Indemnity
of Indemnitee. The Corporation agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted
by law, the provisions of the Charter, and the Bylaws, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that
such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law, the Charter, or the Bylaws permitted
prior to adoption of such amendment). For purposes of this Agreement, the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent authorized
or permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to: (i) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provision
of the NRS that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment
to or replacement of the NRS or such provision thereof; and (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments
to or replacements of the NRS adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify
its directors and officers.

 

2.Additional
Indemnity. In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification otherwise provided for herein, and subject only to
the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Corporation further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

 

(a)against
any and all (i) expenses (including attorneys’ fees), retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness
fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all
other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute
or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual,
threatened or completed proceeding, including any appeal thereof or related thereto (each, a “Proceeding”),
or responding to, or objecting to, a request to provide discovery in any Proceeding, (ii) damages, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and any other amounts that Indemnitee becomes legally obligated to pay (including any federal, state or local
taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of receipt of reimbursements or advances of expenses under this Agreement) and (iii) the
premium, security for, and other costs relating to any costs bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, whether
civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative with respect to any Proceeding (items under clauses, (i), (ii)
and (iii), collectively, the “Expenses”) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s
behalf, because of any claim or claims made against or by him in connection with any Proceeding, whether formal or informal (including
an action by or in the right of the Corporation), to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party or a witness, or
is threatened to be made a party to, a participant in or a witness with respect to, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is,
was or at any time becomes a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request
of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (“Corporate
Status”);

 

    	 	A-2	 

     

    

 

(b)against
any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, if Indemnitee is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor;

 

(c)against
any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, if Indemnitee is, by reason
of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made
a party; and

 

(d)otherwise
to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by the Corporation under the nonexclusivity provisions of the NRS, the
Charter and the Bylaws.

 

3.Limitations
on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation:

 

(a)on
account of any claim or Proceeding against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee
of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as heretofore
or hereafter amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar provisions of any federal, state or local law if the
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finds Indemnitee to be liable for disgorgement under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act;

 

(b)on
account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;

 

(c)for
which payment is actually made to Indemnitee under (i) a valid and collectible insurance policy, including under any policy of
insurance purchased and maintained on Indemnitee’s behalf by the Corporation or (ii) under a valid and enforceable indemnity
clause, bylaw, or agreement, including, but not limited to, an indemnity clause, bylaw, or agreement relating to another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise for which Indemnitee is or was serving as a director or officer at the
request of the Corporation; provided, that indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation
in respect of any excess beyond payment actually received by Indemnitee under such insurance policy, clause, bylaw or agreement;

 

(d)if
and to the extent indemnification is contrary to law, either as a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Federal
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the NRS, or any other applicable law; or

 

    	 	A-3	 

     

    

 

(e)in
connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, against the Corporation or its directors, officers,
employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the Corporation has joined
in the Proceeding (or relevant part thereof), (iii) the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, (iv) such indemnification
is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the NRS, or (v)
the Proceeding (or relevant part thereof) is initiated pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

 

4.Continuation
of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee
is a director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational,
administrative or investigative, including any appeal thereof or relating thereto, in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights
of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, in each case, by reason of the fact of the Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status.

 

5.Partial
Indemnification. Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for a portion of
the Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Indemnitee becomes legally obligated
to pay in connection with any Proceeding referred to in Section 2 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification
for the total amount thereof, and the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

6.Notification
and Defense of Claim. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written
request therefor. As soon as practicable, and in any event, not later than thirty (30) days after Indemnitee becomes aware, by
written or other overt communication, of any pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment, Indemnitee will, if a claim
for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of such
pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation
from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Corporation
shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. With respect to any such
pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment as to which Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

 

(a)the
Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

 

(b)except
as otherwise provided below, the Corporation may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified
and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice
from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof
except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption
of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized
by the Corporation, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, and so notified the Corporation, that there may be a conflict
of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Corporation shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of Indemnitee in connection with such action; in any of such cases the
fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not
be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall
have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and

 

    	 	A-4	 

     

    

 

(c)the
Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. The Corporation shall not enter into any settlement in connection with a Proceeding in any manner which would impose
any Expenses, penalties (whether civil or criminal) or limitations on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which
may be given or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole and reasonable discretion.

 

7.Expenses.
The Corporation shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with any Proceeding promptly following request therefor, but in any event no later than twenty (20) days after the
receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received
by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references
to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall
not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after the final disposition of any Proceeding. The right
to advancement described in this Section 7 is vested. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be
made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement
to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. The execution and delivery to the Corporation of this Agreement
shall constitute an undertaking by Indemnitee to the fullest extent required by law to repay all advances if and to the extent
that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation, and Indemnitee shall qualify for advances immediately upon such execution and delivery.
The right to advances under this Section 7 shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including
any appeal therein.

 

8.Contribution.

 

(a)Whether
or not the indemnification provided in Section 2 is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which the Corporation is
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall pay, in the first instance, the
entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and
the Corporation hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Corporation shall
not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined
in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

    	 	A-5	 

     

    

 

(b)Without
diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Corporation set forth in Section 8(a), if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall
elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding
in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall contribute
to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable
by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the
Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the
one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however,
that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted
by reference to the relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation other than Indemnitee
who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other
hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other
equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors
or employees of the Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the
degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability
is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

 

(c)The
Corporation hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought
by officers, directors or employees of the Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

(d)To
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee
for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or
for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed
fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received
by the Corporation and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or
(ii) the relative fault of the Corporation (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with
such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

9.Presumptions
and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

 

(a)In
making a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6 hereof. If
the Corporation contests any claim or assertion that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Corporation shall,
to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption in connection with the making
by such person, persons, or entity of any determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification.

 

    	 	A-6	 

     

    

 

(b)Without
limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice),
without (i) the final disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty (iv) a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee did not act in good faith, and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, or (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the
purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

 

(c)The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely
affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(d)For
purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied
in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of the Corporation, including financial statements , (ii) information supplied
to Indemnitee by the officers of the Corporation in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation
or its Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or (iv ) information or records given or reports made to the Corporation
by an independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by
the Corporation or its Board or any committee of the Board.

 

10.Information
Sharing. To the extent that the Corporation receives a request or requests from a governmental third party or other licensing
or regulating organization (the “Requesting Agency”), whether formal or informal, to produce documentation
or other information concerning an investigation, whether formal or informal, being conducted by the Requesting Agency, and such
investigation is reasonably likely to include review of any actions or failures to act by Indemnitee, the Corporation shall promptly
give notice to Indemnitee of said request or requests and any subsequent request. In addition, the Corporation shall provide Indemnitee
with a copy of any and all information or documentation that the Corporation shall provide to the Requesting Agency.

 

11.No
Imputation. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation
or the Corporation itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement.

 

    	 	A-7	 

     

    

 

12.Enforcement.

 

(a)Any
right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Indemnitee shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Indemnitee
in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, (ii) no
disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor; (iii) advancement of Expenses is not timely
made pursuant to Section 7, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days
after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (v) the Corporation or any other person
or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation
or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided
to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court of Chancery of Indemnitee’s
entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, and the Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right
to seek any such adjudication in accordance with this Agreement. Indemnitee, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole
or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the Expenses of prosecuting Indemnitee’s claim. It shall be a defense to any
action for which a claim for indemnification is made under Section 2 hereof (other than an action brought to enforce a
claim for advance or reimbursement of Expenses under this Agreement, provided that the required undertaking has been tendered
to the Corporation) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in Section 3
hereof. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, any committee of the Board, or the Corporation’s its
stockholders, or any subgroup of such directors or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
enforcement action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including the Board, any committee of the Board, or the Corporation’s stockholders, or any subgroup of such directors or
stockholders) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(b)
To the fullest extend not prohibited by law, the Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable
and shall stipulate in any such court that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination
shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound
by such determination in any Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee
of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading,
in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

13.Subrogation.
In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure
such rights and to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

    	 	A-8	 

     

    

 

14.Non-Exclusivity
of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Indemnitee
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors,
or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.
To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement
of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter or Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly
set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other right or remedy.

 

15.Insurance.
To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees,
general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be covered
by such policy or policies (including with respect to prior service) to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under
such policy or policies in a comparable position.

 

16.Enforcement;
Survival of Rights.

 

(a)The
Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that the Corporation has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed
on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Corporation, and the Corporation acknowledges that Indemnitee
is relying upon this Agreement in serving the Corporation in such capacity.

 

(b)The
rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer of the
Corporation or to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

 

(c)The
Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

(d)The
Corporation and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate,
impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee and the Corporation irreparable
harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that each of the Corporation and the Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking
injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that
by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, they shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief
to which they may be entitled. The Corporation and Indemnitee further agree that they shall be entitled to such specific performance
and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the
necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that in the
absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and they hereby waive any such requirement
of such a bond or undertaking.

 

    	 	A-9	 

     

    

 

17.No
Conflicts.To the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Charter, the Bylaws, or applicable law,
the Charter, the Bylaws, or such applicable law (as applicable) shall govern.

 

18.Separability.
Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision
hereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, (i) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation,
each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that
is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and such other provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to
give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested thereby. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent provided by the Charter (if applicable), the Bylaws,
the NRS or any other applicable law.

 

19.Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. The Corporation and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i)
agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the Delaware Court of
Chancery, (ii) consent to submit to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery for purposes of any action or proceeding
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding
in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding
brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

 

20.Amendment
and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing
signed by both parties hereto.

 

21.Identical
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart need be produced
to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

(i)the Borrower may not select any Interest Period with respect to any Loan that ends after the Termination Date, and in no event shall an Interest Period of any Loan extend beyond the Termination Date;
(ii)    whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to occur on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in the next following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall occur on the next preceding Business Day; and

(iv)    no more than eight (8) Interest Periods may be in effect at any time.
(c)    Default Rate.  Subject to Section 7.02, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request or convert LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable LIBOR Margin) then applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Base Rate Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Base Rate Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.
(d)    Interest Payment and Computation.  (i) Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing September 30, 2016 and on the Termination Date; and (ii) interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3)-month interval during such Interest Period and on the Termination Date.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).

27
  

        

(e)    Payments. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 10.02 for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.  Any payment received after such time but before 4:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 7.01, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  Any payment received after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders (except as specified below), and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 2.12(e), 2.14, 2.17, 10.05 or 10.07 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender.  If any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.
(f)    Maximum Rate.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate amount of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under any of the Notes charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any of the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or shall apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations.  It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

28
  

        

regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of each LIBOR Rate Loan, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such LIBOR Rate Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant interest payment date required by Section 2.10(d), such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

(a)    Interest Rate Determination. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.10.
(b)    Automatic Conversion. If the Borrower shall fail to (i) select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(b), (ii) provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York, New York  time, on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of a Conversion to or in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans or (iii) satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.13 with respect to a Conversion, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such LIBOR Rate Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Loans.
(c)    Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans (or a Conversion to or continuation thereof), (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon:
(i)    each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, and 
(ii)    the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (based on notice from the 

29
  

        

Required Lenders) shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)    Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (including any Change in Law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.
(e)    Indemnity.  The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (i) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation for a LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor.  The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.
SECTION  2.13    Voluntary Conversion of Loans.    
The Borrower may on any Business Day, by delivering an irrevocable Notice of Conversion/Continuation (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.15, Convert all Loans of one Type made simultaneously into Loans of the other Type; provided, that any 

30
  

        

Conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans.
SECTION 2.14    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.11); 

(i)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender; 

and the result of the foregoing shall be in the aggregate to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

31
  

        

(d)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.11 or this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 2.15    Illegality.    
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (in each case made after the date hereof) (including any Change in Law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, (a) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (based on notice from the affected Lender) shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) the Borrower shall pay (i) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, or (ii) if the failure to prepay immediately would cause any Lender to be in violation of such law or regulation, immediately, in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of all Lenders then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(e), unless, in either case, the Borrower, within five (5) Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent (or such shorter, maximum period of time, specified by the Administrative Agent, as may be legally allowable), Converts all LIBOR Rate Loans of all Lenders then outstanding into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.13.
SECTION  2.16    Nature of Obligations of Lenders; Assumption by the Administrative Agent.  
The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans are several and are not joint or joint and several.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after the Closing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (or, if such amount is not made available for a period of three (3) Business Days after the borrowing date, the Base Rate) during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the 

32
  

        

numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.16 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Loan hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.  The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the Closing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the Closing Date.
SECTION 2.17    Taxes; Foreign Lenders. 
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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.
(d)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such 

33
  

        

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.
(e)    Status of Recipients.  Any Foreign Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if 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 Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Recipient is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Recipient is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv)    any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation 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.

34
  

        

(f)    FATCA.  If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient 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 Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “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 pursuant to this Section 2.17 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certificate or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 10.09(d) 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 Section 2.17(g).
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Agreement, it shall promptly after the receipt of such refund pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is 

35
  

        

finally required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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.
(i)    Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.
(j)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
SECTION 2.18    Extension of Stated Termination Date.
(a)    The Borrower may, by sending written request in substantially the form of Exhibit H (an “Extension Letter”) to the Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), no earlier than seventy-five (75) days and no later than twenty (20) days prior to any 364-day anniversary of the Closing Date (each an “Anniversary Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Stated Termination Date to the day that is 364-days after the then existing Stated Termination Date (each such request being referred to herein as an “Extension”); provided, that such Extension shall only take effect as to any Lender if Lenders holding at least 51% of the aggregate Commitments as of the applicable Election Date advise the Administrative Agent as required herein of their agreement to participate in such Extension (the “Extension Condition”).  The Stated Termination Date may be extended pursuant to this Section 2.18 on up to two occasions; provided that, in no event shall the Stated Termination Date extend beyond September 7, 2019.
(b)\    Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any applicable Extension Letter by the Administrative Agent (each an “Election Date”), advise the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender agrees to such Extension.  The election of any Lender to agree to any Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.  The failure of any Lender to respond to a request for an Extension prior to the applicable Election Date shall be deemed to be a decision by such Lender not to extend the Stated Termination Date.
(c)    If the Extension Condition shall not have been satisfied as of the applicable Election Date, then the Commitments shall terminate on the then existing Stated Termination Date 

36
  

        

(the Stated Termination Date in effect immediately after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Extension Letter but prior to the Extension so requested in such Extension Letter taking effect shall be referred to herein as the “Current Stated Termination Date”) and all Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents) shall be due and payable on the Current Stated Termination Date, subject to any additional requested Extension permitted pursuant to this Section 2.18.
(d)    If the Extension Condition shall have been satisfied as of any applicable Election Date, then the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days of such Election Date as to whether (i) the Extension will take effect as of such Election Date or (ii) despite satisfaction of the Extension Condition, such Extension will not take effect, in which case the Commitments shall terminate on the Current Stated Termination Date and all Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents) shall be due and payable on the Current Stated Termination Date.  If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days as required by the immediately preceding sentence, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected for such Extension to take effect as of the applicable Election Date.  If an Extension takes effect pursuant to either of the first two sentences of this Section 2.18(d), such Extension shall be deemed to have taken effect solely as to those Lenders (each, a “Consenting Lender”) that shall have agreed to the requested Extension on or prior to the applicable Election Date and, as to such Consenting Lenders, the Stated Termination Date shall be the date that is one year after the Current Stated Termination Date, subject to any additional Extension agreed upon pursuant to this Section 2.18.  If an Extension becomes effective as to some and not all of the Lenders (each Lender who shall not have agreed to the Extension as of the Election Date, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then:
(i)    subject to clause (ii) of this Section 2.18(d), the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate on the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect, and all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to such Non-Consenting Lender shall become due and payable on the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect and, on the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect, the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be reduced by the aggregate Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders so terminated on such Stated Termination Date;
(ii)    the Borrower may, at its own expense, on or prior to the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect, require any Non-Consenting Lender to transfer and assign without recourse or representation (except as to title and the absence of Liens created by it) (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.09) all of such Non-Consenting Lender’s interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may include any Lender) (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), provided, that (A) such Additional Commitment Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (B) such assignment shall become effective no later than the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect and (C) the Additional Commitment Lender shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in immediately available funds on the effective date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment 

37
  

        

on the Loans made by such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Non-Consenting Lender's account or owed to it hereunder; and
(iii)    in all cases, each Non-Consenting Lender shall be required to maintain its original Commitment up to the Stated Termination Date in effect prior to such Extension taking effect.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Stated Termination Date shall become effective unless, on the applicable Anniversary Date, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable Anniversary Date and executed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Borrower.   
SECTION 2.19    [Reserved.]  
SECTION 2.20    [Reserved.]  
SECTION 2.21    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  
(a)    Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.09), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment provided that such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender at the time of such assignment); provided that:
(i)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.09;
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other 

38
  

        

amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12(e) as if such assignment was a payment) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.22    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

and if to any Lender, at its address or telecopy number or e-mail address set forth on Schedule I hereto; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties.  All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, be effective three (3) days after being deposited in the mails or when sent by telecopy or electronic mail, respectively, addressed as previously aforesaid.

SECTION 10.03    No Waiver; Remedies.  
No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 10.04    Set‐off.
(a)    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(b)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof 

68
  

        

as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; 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 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (B) 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, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

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 setoff 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.

SECTION 10.05    Indemnification.  
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), Arranger, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (e) any claim (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, 

69
  

        

arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Nothing in this Section 10.05 is intended to limit the Borrower’s obligations contained in Article II.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Borrower hereunder, the indemnities and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of amounts payable pursuant to Article II and the termination of the Commitments.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
SECTION 10.06    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

70
  

        

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
SECTION 10.07    Costs, Expenses and Taxes.
The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, issuance, delivery, filing, recording, and administration of this Agreement, the Loans and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out‐of‐pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, the Loans, and any document delivered in connection therewith and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of clause (c) or (d) below, any Lender) (including reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of counsel) in connection with (a) with the use of Intralinks Inc., SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents, (b) the transfer, drawing upon, change in terms, maintenance, renewal or cancellation of this Agreement and the Loans, (c) any and all amounts which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has paid relative to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s curing of any Event of Default resulting from the acts or omissions of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (d) the enforcement of, or protection of rights under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) or (e) any waivers or consents or amendments to or in respect of this Agreement or the Loans requested by the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, the Loans, or any of such other documents, and agrees to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes and fees.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.
SECTION 10.08    [Reserved.]
SECTION 10.09    Benefit of Agreement. 
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.  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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by 

71
  

        

way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  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 (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)    in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  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 with respect to the Loan or Commitment assigned;
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (I) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (II) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such 

72
  

        

assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (provided, that only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds by a Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 2.12, 2.14, 2.17, 2.21, 10.05 and 10.07 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 and any Lender (but 

73
  

        

only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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.
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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant and could not be effected by a vote of the Required Lenders.  Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.17 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17 and 2.21 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.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.

74
  

        

(f)    Certain Pledges.  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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 10.10    Severability.  
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.11    Governing Law.  
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 10.12    Headings.  
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
SECTION 10.13    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  
The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.02 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

75
  

        

This Section 10.13 shall not be construed to confer a benefit upon, or grant a right or privilege to, any Person other than the parties hereto.
SECTION 10.14    Acknowledgments.  
The Borrower hereby acknowledges:
(a)    it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b)    neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has a fiduciary relationship to the Borrower, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c)    no joint venture exists between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 10.15    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.  THIS SECTION 10.15 SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO CONFER A BENEFIT UPON, OR GRANT A RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE TO, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE PARTIES HERETO.
SECTION 10.16    Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and use it only for purposes of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or for any other reason relating to this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives for the purpose of evaluating, negotiating or entering into transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature and limitation of the use of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and use such Information solely for the purpose provided above), (b) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any 

76
  

        

prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and such source is not known by the Person receiving such Information to be in violation of this Section 10.16 or (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis without breach of this Section 10.16 prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Participants shall promptly notify the Borrower of its receipt of any subpoena or similar process or authority, unless prohibited therefrom by the issuing Person.
SECTION 10.17    Execution in Counterparts.  
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 10.18    USA PATRIOT Act Notice.
Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower thereof that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.  The Borrower agrees to, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all such other documentation and information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under 

77
  

        

applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
