(i)               the Administrative Agent shall have determined (x) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts comprising such Loan are not generally available in the London interbank market, or (y) that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or (z) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR; or

(ii)                a Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, or such Lender shall give written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and thereafter, unless such notice shall be subsequently withdrawn, any continuation or request for the funding of a Eurodollar Loan (in the event of clause (ii), solely with respect to such Lender) shall be deemed a continuation of or request for a Loan with an interest rate equal to a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Interest Rate plus the Applicable Percentage. In the event of clause (ii), the applicable Lender may also provide in its written notice that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to Loans with an interest rate equal to the Alternate Interest Rate plus the Applicable Percentage, in which event all of such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and, in all other cases, on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

(b)                The Borrower may elect, by giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by the Borrower of written notice of an event under clause (a)(i)(y) to the extent the Alternate Interest Rate shall at such time exceed the blended average LIBOR applicable to the relevant Loans immediately prior to the receipt of such notice by more than 100 basis points (1.00%), to permanently terminate the Commitments in whole but not in part, in which case the Commitments shall be permanently terminated in whole on a date specified by the Borrower in such termination notice, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the delivery of such termination notice. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on such date of termination (x) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and (y) all other fees and other amounts payable hereunder that have accrued through the date of such termination.

Section 2.07               Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right from time to time on any Payment Business Day to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment under each Tranche shall be in a principal amount of at least $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount then outstanding under such Tranche and (ii) the Borrower shall not make more than two (2) prepayments under this Section 2.07 in any calendar month. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E and shall specify the prepayment date (each, an “Optional Prepayment Date”) and the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid.

(b)                If at any time any of the Specified Conditions is not satisfied, then upon written notice to Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in an amount sufficient to cause all Specified Conditions to be satisfied; provided however such prepayment obligation shall be tolled if the Borrower (i) within five (5) Business Days (which period shall be tolled, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, for so long as the Collateral Agent and Borrower are engaged in good faith discussions regarding a proposed prepayment plan) of its receipt of said notice that any Specified Condition is not satisfied, submits a prepayment plan in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Initial Lender in their sole discretion acting in good faith, setting forth in reasonable detail the actions that the Borrower proposes to take to effect the prepayment described in clause (iii) below, (ii) executes such prepayment plan in accordance with its terms and (iii) prepays the Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, as immediately as practicable and in any event within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date any Specified Condition is initially not satisfied such that, immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, all Specified Conditions are satisfied. If initially the Borrower fails to execute such prepayment plan in accordance with its terms or the Collateral Agent or the Initial Lender ceases to find such prepayment plan satisfactory to effect the prepayment described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence (as determined by the Collateral Agent or the Initial Lender in its sole discretion acting in good faith), the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause all Specified Conditions to be satisfied. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent will provide calculations and an explanation (other than to the extent any such calculation or explanation constitutes material non-public information) as to the basis of the change in Specified Conditions.

(c)                 All prepayments shall be subject to Section 2.09 but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. All partial prepayments occurring on a Rollover Date may, and prepayment in whole shall, be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest and Fees on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. All partial prepayments occurring on a date other than a Rollover Date shall consist of the principal amount to be prepaid only and all accrued and unpaid interest and Fees on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment shall be added to the principal amount on the next succeeding Interest Accrual Date. In the case of each prepayment of Loans under any Tranche of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Loans of such Tranche, the prepayment shall be shared pro rata by the Lenders under such Tranche according to each Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage under such Tranche.

Section 2.08               Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such reserve requirement that is reflected in LIBOR) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans held by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such increased costs.

(b)                If a Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy 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 pursuant hereto 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) by an amount deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall 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)                 If, due to either (i) a Change in Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), which, in each case, occurs after the date hereof, any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall determine that there has or will be any increase in the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including by subjecting the Administrative Agent or such Lender to any Taxes) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan (other than any such increased cost resulting from Indemnified Taxes, clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, or Connection Income Taxes, as to which Section 2.10 shall govern) or any reduction in the rate of return or amount due to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender under any of the Loan Documents, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction suffered.

(d)                A certificate of the applicable Lender setting forth the amount or amounts specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower shall pay such amounts within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

(e)                 Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate a Lender under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such request if such Lender knew of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that, if the applicable Change in Law is retroactive, then such 120-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section 2.08 shall be available to such Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(f)                  Upon payment by the Borrower of any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower may elect, by giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by the Borrower of written demand for such payment, to permanently terminate the Commitments in whole but not in part, in which case the Commitments shall be permanently terminated in whole on a date specified by the Borrower in such termination notice, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the delivery of such termination notice. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on such date of termination (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and (ii) all other fees and other amounts payable hereunder that have accrued through the date of such termination.

Section 2.09               Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss or expense that the Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by a Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan on a day other than a Rollover Date or (ii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by a Lender not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any of the events under clause (a), such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by the applicable Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such event for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by the Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such event for such period. A certificate of the applicable Lender setting forth such amount or amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower shall pay such amounts within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

Section 2.10               Taxes. (a) Except as required by law, any and all payments by the Borrower and its Affiliates or on account of any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if any applicable Person shall be required to deduct any Indemnified 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, the Lenders or the applicable Indemnitee (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Person shall make such deductions and (iii) such Person shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c)                 As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)                Upon payment by the Borrower of any Indemnified Taxes or any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.10 to any Lender, the Borrower may elect, by giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by the Borrower of written demand for such payment, to permanently terminate the Commitments in whole but not in part, in which case the Commitments shall be permanently terminated in whole on a date specified by the Borrower in such termination notice, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the delivery of such termination notice. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on such date of termination (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and (ii) all other fees and other amounts payable hereunder that have accrued through the date of such termination.

(e)                 Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation that such Lender is legally entitled to deliver and which is reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver, to the extent that such Lender is legally entitled to do so, such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender agrees that if any Tax-related form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender agrees to update any Tax-related form or certification it previously delivered upon being notified by the Borrower or Administrative Agent that such form has, or is about to, expire.

(f)                  Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be construed as requiring an Agent or a 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.

Section 2.11               Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the account of the Administrative Agent at The Bank of New York Mellon, ABA# 021-000-018, Account Name: CS Cayman Agency Account, Account # 8900492627 or as otherwise specified in writing by the Administrative Agent from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

(b)                Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Payment Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

Section 2.12               Borrower Responsible Officers. Each Agent and Lender shall at all times be entitled to accept and act upon Borrowing Requests and payment instructions received from an individual such Agent or Lender reasonably believes is a Borrower Responsible Officer.

Section 2.13               Return of Payments. If the Borrower (or any Person on its behalf) makes a payment to any Agent or Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof subsequently are invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to the Borrower (or such Person), a trustee, receiver or any other Person in connection with any insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

ARTICLE VIII

Appointment of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

Section 8.01               Appointment of Agents; Successor Agents.

(a)                 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints CSAG as its administrative agent and its collateral agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents.

(b)                Each Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, such resigning Agent shall have the right to appoint any Affiliate of CSAG as its successor Agent. If such resigning Agent elects not to appoint an Affiliate of CSAG as its successor Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent. Each Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice received by the Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent. If any Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and any other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement (including Section 9.04 hereof) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it, its sub-agents and Related Parties while it was acting as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.02               Limitation of Duties; Reliance by Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)                 Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default or any failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied (ii) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Borrower Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of any Lender or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or any failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied unless and until written notice specifying that such notice is a notice of a “Default”, an “Event of Default” or “a failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied” is given to such Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to inspect the properties, books or records of any Person or to ascertain or inquire into (A) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (D) the value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or any Collateral or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

(b)                Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may refuse to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders; and provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to any Default or Event of Default or any failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

(c)                 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the making of the Loans provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. No Agent or sub-agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 8.03               Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates and made its own decision to make the Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any affiliate that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.04               Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to each Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably according to each Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii)       Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iii) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto as a Lender to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto 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 without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or any other Person.

(c)                 Any Lender may, in connection with any transfer or proposed transfer pursuant to this Section 9.03, disclose Information to any transferee or proposed transferee that has executed an agreement to preserve the confidentiality of such Information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.15.

(d)                Any Lender may at any time assign (whether by transfer, charge, pledge, assignment or otherwise) all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

1 NTD: This assumes the Closing Date is on or before December 10, 2019.

 

(a)                 The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender (including former Agents and Lenders in accordance with Section 8.01(b) and 9.03(b)) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and any experts or sub agents appointed by it, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective rights or obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Borrower or PREDEX Fund Advisor in this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other Default or Event of Default or any failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(b)                The Agents or the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, elect to reduce Fees owed by the Borrower to the Agents or the Lenders under the Loan Documents in amounts not to exceed the Costs (as defined below) (the amount of any such reduction, a “Discount Amount”). If any Agent or the Lenders so elect:

(i)               the Borrower shall be liable to reimburse the Agents or the Lenders, as applicable, for legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan Documents (the “Costs”) in an amount equal to that Discount Amount; and

(ii)                the Borrower's obligation to pay the Costs shall be immediately set-off against that Discount Amount.

The Borrower's liability to pay the Costs under this clause (c) shall be without prejudice to any other obligation it may have pursuant to the Loan Documents to pay costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents or their entry into them.  For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not either (i) obligate any Agent or any Lender to reimburse the Borrower in cash for any amounts previously paid by the Borrower under the Loan Documents or (ii) reduce the cash amount due from the Borrower for any Fees for any future period.

(c)                 All amounts due under this Section 9.04 shall be payable on written demand therefor. Any such amount not paid on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at the rate specified in Section 2.05(b)(ii). If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any transfer or any other transaction provided for in the Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Administrative Agent or as otherwise required by law.

(d)                To the 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, the other Loan Documents, any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 9.05               Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by each Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or its Affiliates shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.06               Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

(b)                EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.06.

Section 9.07               Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the making of any Loan, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or PREDEX Fund Advisor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 9.07, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)                Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided that, no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would be to:

(i)               increase the Commitment of any Lender or postpone the scheduled date of maturity beyond the Maturity Date, in each case, without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent or covenant, or any Default or Event of Default or any failure of any of the Specified Conditions to be satisfied shall constitute an increase in the Commitments of a Lender);

(ii)                reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.05); or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii)                (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Loan, (B) postpone the date of payment of any Obligation or any interest or fees payable hereunder, or (C) change the amount of, waive, or excuse any such payment (other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.05 or any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.07(b)), in any case, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iv)                permit the assignment or delegation by the Borrower of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v)               release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi)                change Section 2.07 in a manner that would alter any pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any provisions in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(vii)                change any provision of this Section 9.07(b) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(viii)                change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 9.07(b)) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend, or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any additional Lender such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination or grant any such consent;

(ix)                change or waive any provision of Article VIII as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case, without the written consent of such Agent; or

(x)               change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the making of any Loan, without the written consent of such Lenders.

Section 9.08               Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all Fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the applicable Lender or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Fees, charges and other amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to such maximum lawful rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Fees, charges and other amounts that would have been payable in respect of the Loans but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.08 shall be cumulated and the amounts payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum lawful rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Alternate Interest Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.09               Conflicts Disclosure. Each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.10               Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Agent and Lender) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11               Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.12               Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.10.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or their properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(b)                Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Each party hereto agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and shall not use the Information for purposes not arising in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) with respect to the Agents and each Lender, to the extent requested by any relevant regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by or advisable under applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) with respect to the Agents and each Lender, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) with respect to the Agents and each Lender, subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.15, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the disclosing party or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.15. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means the Loan Documents, any term sheets or other preliminary information related thereto and all written information received from the disclosing party and related to its business that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received as being confidential information, other than any such information that (i) was available to the recipient on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party or (ii) was or is independently developed by the recipient. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.15 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 its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party (and each of their employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction that may be described or included within the Information and all material of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that may be provided to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure. For this purpose, the tax treatment of a transaction is the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and the tax structure of a transaction is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction.

Section 9.16               USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of the Lenders) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT 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 Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
