This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Lender and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to the Credit Parties by Lender.

8.7    Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.
 
(A)  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Lender regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any breach of a representation or warranty, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding.
 
(B)  This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, at which time this Agreement shall be terminated; provided, however, that the agreements set forth in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 (and any guaranty by the Guarantors of the Obligations of Borrower with respect to such Sections 8.3 and 8.4) shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
 
8.8    Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
 
8.9    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Lender or Lender enforces its security interests or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies thereof, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
8.10     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Term Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter) and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
 
8.11     Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
 
-48-

 
8.12     Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.
 
8.13     Headings. Section and subsection 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 or be given any substantive effect.
 
8.14     APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
 
8.15   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
 
8.16   No Fiduciary Relationship; Limitation of Liabilities.
 
(A)  No Fiduciary Relationship. Except in the instance of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Credit Party.
 
(B)  Limitation of Liabilities. Neither Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, shareholder, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Credit Parties hereby waive, release, and agree not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Credit Parties in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Credit Parties hereby waive, release, and agree not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
8.17   CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH CREDIT PARTY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM NOTE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATIONS. IF ANY CREDIT PARTY PRESENTLY IS, OR IN THE FUTURE BECOMES, A NONRESIDENT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON SUCH PERSON BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO SUCH PERSON, AT SUCH PERSON’S ADDRESS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.6 OR AS MOST RECENTLY NOTIFIED BY SUCH PERSON IN WRITING PURSUANT TO SECTION 8.6 AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED AS AFORESAID.
 
-49-

 
8.18     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH CREDIT PARTY SIGNATORY HERETO AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
 
8.19     Construction. Borrower and each Credit Party signatory hereto and Lender each acknowledge that it has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and each Credit Party signatory hereto and Lender.
 
8.20     Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement, any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements, or to any other Loan Document by Facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

8.22     Communications by Borrower to Lender. Nothing contained in any letter, email, written notification, financial statement or other communication, written or oral, from Borrower to Lender, shall be deemed to be binding on Lender, unless Lender acknowledges same in writing and expressly agrees to be bound thereby.
 
8.23     Confidentiality. For the purposes of this Section 8.23, “Confidential Information” means all financial projections and all other information delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature or that is clearly marked or labeled (or otherwise adequately identified) as being confidential information of Borrower or the other Credit Parties, provided, that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to Lender prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by Lender or any Person acting on its behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to Lender other than through disclosure by Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties, or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered hereunder that are otherwise publicly available. Lender will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with commercially reasonable procedures adopted by Lender in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to it, provided, that Lender may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to:
 
(i)     its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the Term Loan);
 
(ii)       its financial advisors and other professional advisors who are advised to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.23;
 
(iii)      any other Lender; or
 
(iv)     any other Person (including auditors and other regulatory officials) to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to comply with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, (B) in response to any subpoena, examination, or other legal process, (C) in connection with any litigation to which Lender is a party or (D) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, to the extent Lender may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies hereunder. Each assignee and participant of Lender’s interest, by its execution and delivery of documents to evidence its assignment or participation (as the case may be), will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by, and to be entitled to the benefits of, inter alia, this Section 8.23.

8.24     Lender’s Disclosure. Borrower and each Credit Party signatory hereto acknowledge that one or more members of Blank Rome LLP are limited partners of Lender.
 
8.25     Affiliate Guarantor. The Affiliate Guarantor, although not a borrower hereunder, has signed this Agreement to indicate its acknowledgment of, and agreement to be bound by, the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein (to the extent such representations, warranties and covenants apply to the Affiliate Guarantor) and to assign and grant to Lender the Lien on its assets and properties as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof.

8.26      Electronic Execution of Loan Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
