Section 32. Judgment Currency. The Obligations of the Obligor hereunder and under the Related Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Bank of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Bank under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents. The Obligor agrees to indemnify the Bank against any loss incurred by the Bank as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the payment of any amount due hereunder or under any of the Related Documents which is expressed and paid in a coin or currency other than Dollars (such other coin or currency, the “Judgment Currency”) and as a result of any variation between (a) the rate of exchange at which the Dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order, and (b) the rate of exchange at which the Bank is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by the Bank. The foregoing indemnity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Obligor, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement or under any of the Related Documents. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 33, the Bank agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Obligor (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counselor to another entity if in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 33 to the same extent as the Bank) any information with respect to the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished by the Obligor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or any other Related Document, provided that the Bank may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 33(a) by the Bank, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Bank or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any Claim, (iv) in order to comply with any Law applicable to the Bank, (v) to the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 33 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any right under this Agreement or any interest therein by the Bank, so long as such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 33.

(b) The Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with the Bank, any information related to the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Obligor and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 33 to the same extent as the Bank.

Section 34. Patriot Act. The Bank hereby notifies the Obligor that to the extent the Bank is or becomes subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act” ) pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verity and record information that identifies the Obligor and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow the Bank to identify the Obligor and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
