such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include discretionary conditions), such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02, make such Letter of Credit available to the Company at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Company in connection with such Issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
 
(b)           Participations.  By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing or decreasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit.  The Company hereby agrees to each such participation.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date funded, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason, which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be a Advance hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, each Non-Extending Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit that expire after the Initial Termination Date shall terminate upon the Initial Termination Date.
 
(c)           Drawing and Reimbursement.  The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the Company on the date funded shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of a Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, without regard to whether the making of such a Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment.  Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Agent of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it.  Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Agent and the Company, each Lender shall pay to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Advance pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Advances pursuant to this paragraph (c) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank.  Each Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Advance available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.  If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
 

 
30

 
(d)           Letter of Credit Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Agent (with a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (B) to the Agent (with a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
 
(e)           Failure to Make Advances.  The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.  No failure by any Lender to make such Advances shall limit or restrict the availability of any Letter of Credit to the Company.
 
SECTION 2.04.  Fees.  
 
(a)  Non-Extending Lender Commitment Fee.  The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Non-Extending Lender a commitment fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment from the Amendment Effective Date until the Initial Termination Date calculated by multiplying such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment by the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 30, 2009, and on the Initial Termination Date; provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
 
(b) Extending Lender Commitment Fee.  The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Extending Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment from the Amendment Effective Date in the case of each Extending Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Extension Termination Date calculated by multiplying such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment by 1.00%, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 30, 2009, and on the Extension Termination Date; provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
 
(c) Letter of Credit Fees.  (i)  The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Extending Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) and each Non-Extending Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances for Advances made by such Lender in effect from time to time during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with April 30, 2009, and on the Extension Termination Date; provided that the Applicable Margin shall be 2% above the Applicable Margin in effect if the Company is required to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b).
 
    (ii)           The Company shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee and such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the Issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Company and such Issuing Bank shall agree.
 
(d) Agent’s Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Agent for its own account the fees set forth in the fee letter dated March 5, 2009 between the Company and the Agent, as such fee letter may from time to time be amended by the Company and the Agent.
 
SECTION 2.05.  Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  Optional.  The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) if made under the Revolving Credit Facility–A, shall be made ratably among the Non-Extending Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments and, if made under the Revolving Credit Facility–B, shall be made ratably among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders may be reduced by the Company on a non-ratable basis in connection with any Non-Extending Lender’s
 

 
31

 
 
agreement to convert any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment from the Revolving Credit Facility-A to the Revolving Credit Facility-B.
 
 (b) Mandatory .  The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Advances.  (a) Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, as applicable, (i) in the case of each Non-Extending Lender, on the Initial Termination Date, and (ii) in the case of each Extending Lender, on the Extension Termination Date, in each case, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made by such Lender then outstanding.
 
 (b) Letter of Credit Drawings.  The obligations of the Company under any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances (it being understood that any such payment by the Company is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Company might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by any Lender of any draft or the reimbursement by the Company thereof, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9.12):
 
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note, or of any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (such Letter of Credit Agreement, Letter of Credit and related instruments or instruments being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);
 
(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
 
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
 
(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
 
(v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
 
(vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
 
(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or a guarantor.
 
SECTION 2.07.  Interest on Advances.    (a)  Scheduled Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
 

 
32

 

 (i)  Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each January, April, July and October during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
 
(ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on the day of every third month during such Interest Period corresponding to the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
 
b) Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require and notify the Borrowers to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent.
 
SECTION 2.08.  Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  Each Reference Bank agrees, if requested by the Agent, to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate.  If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks.  The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii).
 
(b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, Lenders owed at least 50% of the then aggregate principal amount thereof notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and such Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
 
(c) If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.
 
(d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.
 
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or any Borrowing Base Deficiency, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.
 

 
33

 

(f)  If Reuter Screen LIBOR01 is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,
 
(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,
 
(ii) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and
 
(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
 
(g)    Interest Act (Canada).  With respect to Advances made to Kodak Canada, whenever a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.
 
(h)     Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment.  With respect to Advances made to Kodak Canada, the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment.  The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates.  Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.
 
(i)           Interest Paid by Kodak Canada.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by Kodak Canada under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in the Section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that Section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of Kodak Canada and the Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to Kodak Canada.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lenders will be prima facie evidence of such rate.
 
SECTION 2.09. Optional Conversion of Advances.  Either Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all or any portion of the Advances made to it of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice.
 
SECTION 2.10.  Prepayments of Advances.  (a)  Optional.  Either Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to
 

 
34

 

the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing made to it in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c); provided, further, that any such prepayments applied in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility-A shall be paid to the Agent for the ratable account of each Non-Extending Lender, and any such prepayments applied in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility-B shall be paid to the Agent for the ratable account of each Extending Lender.
 
 (b) Mandatory.  (i)  Each Borrower shall, on each Business Day, if applicable, prepay (with no corresponding commitment reduction) an aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings in an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding plus (y) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the Revolving Credit Availability Amount; provided that (x) until April 21, 2009, the foregoing calculation shall exclude the Available Amount under Letters of Credit outstanding and amounts owing in respect of Secured Agreements (other than the Loan Documents) on the Amendment Effective Date and (y) in respect of any prepayment under this subsection directly attributable to any adjustment of Reserves, such prepayment shall be made not later than the Business Day immediately following the date such adjusted Reserves became effective.
 
(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
 
(iii) The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to Lenders.
 
SECTION 2.11.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation 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), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
 (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend
 

 
35

 

 or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
SECTION 2.12.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
SECTION 2.13.  Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off,  not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.21, and upon the Agent's receipt of such Lender's Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date the Agent shall treat each Assuming Lender as an Extending Lender under this Agreement and shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith pro rata among the Extending Lenders taking into account the interest assumed thereby by the Assuming Lender.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
 
(b) Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of such Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.
 
(c)    All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees or commissions are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(d)   Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
 
(e)   Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full,

the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent any Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
 
(f)   If the Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrowers under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify, or the applicable Borrower does not direct, the Advances to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share of the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding at such time and (b) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other obligations then owing to such Lender.
 
SECTION 2.14. Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable to such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
 
(c)      The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor with appropriate supporting documentation.
 
(d)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.  In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes.  For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code.

(e)   Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender that has not provided such forms in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, on or prior to the designation of any different Applicable Lending Office and on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Company with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or (in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to the Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, in the case of a Lender that has certified that it is not a “bank” as described above, certifying that such Lender is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust.  If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.  If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the Amendment Effective Date by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or the related certificate described above, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Company and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information, except directly to a governmental authority or other Person subject to a reasonable confidentiality agreement.  In addition, upon the written request of the Borrower, any other certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if (i) delivery thereof is required by a change in the law, regulation, administrative practice or any applicable tax treaty as a precondition to exemption from or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding; (ii) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, is legally entitled to make delivery such item; and (iii) delivery of such item will not result in material additional costs unless Borrower shall have agreed in writing to indemnify Lender or the Agent for such costs.
 
(f)   For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States of America or Canada by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties, at such Lender’s expense, shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
 
(g)   Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
(h)    If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Loan Party pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.14 exceeding
 

 
38

 

the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to the applicable Loan Party, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund, deduction or credit.
 
(i) If any Loan Party determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting the applicability of any Tax or Other Tax, the Agent or the relevant Lender shall cooperate with such Loan Party, upon the request and at the expense of such Loan Party, in challenging such Tax or Other Tax.  Nothing in this Section 2.14(i) shall require the Agent or any Lender to disclose the contents of its tax returns or other confidential information to any Person.
 
SECTION 2.15.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  Without expanding the rights of any Lender under this Agreement, if any Appropriate Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than (x) as payment of an Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.03(c) or (y) pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Advances due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Advances due and payable at such time to all Appropriate Lenders hereunder) of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Appropriate Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Appropriate Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Appropriate Lender shall be rescinded and such Appropriate Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Appropriate Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Appropriate Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Appropriate Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered; and provided further that, so long as the Advances shall not have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders.  The Borrowers agree that any Appropriate Lender so purchasing a participation from another Appropriate Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Loan Parties in the amount of such participation.  For the purposes of this Section, “Appropriate Lender” shall mean, in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility-A, each Non-Extending Lender, and in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility-B, each Extending Lender.
 
SECTION 2.16.  Evidence of Debt .  (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances.  Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, as applicable, properly completed, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.
 
(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from each Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
 
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the
 

 
39

 

amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement with respect to Advances made and not repaid.
 
SECTION 2.17. Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided, however, that the proceeds of the Advances shall not be used to prepay or redeem the Convertible Notes.
 
SECTION 2.18. Cash Management.  (a)  Within 30 days after the Amendment Effective Date (or such later date as the Agent may specify in its sole discretion, which such later date shall in no case be later than 60 days following the Amendment Effective Date), the Company shall:
 
(i) deliver to the Agent a Schedule of all Deposit Accounts other than Excluded Accounts maintained by the Loan Parties in the United States or Canada, which Schedule shall include, with respect to each depository (A) the name and address of such depository, (B) the account number(s) maintained with such depository and (C) a contact person at such depository; and
 
(ii) enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent in its reasonable discretion, with respect to each Concentration Account existing as of such date (other than any Concentration Account maintained with the Agent);
 
provided that to the extent that the Agent has been granted control, as determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion, with respect to the Existing Accounts prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the Loan Parties are not required to comply with the provisions of the foregoing clause (a).
 
(b)   Each Blocked Account Agreement or such other account control agreement, if applicable, for each Concentration Account shall require, during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Agent), the ACH or wire transfer on each Business Day of all available cash receipts held in the Concentration Account to a concentration account maintained by the Agent (an “Agent Sweep Account”) located in the United States (in respect of Deposit Accounts of the Company and the US Subsidiary Guarantors) or in Canada (in respect of Deposit Accounts of Kodak Canada and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors).
 
(c)     If (i) at any time during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event, any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by a Loan Party are deposited in any account (other than an Excluded Account), or held or invested in any manner (other than (x) in the Concentration Account that is subject to the Blocked Account Agreement, (y) in a Concentration Account that is maintained with the Agent or (z) a Deposit Account which is swept daily to a Concentration Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement or maintained with the Agent), or (ii) at any time, a Concentration Account shall cease to be subject to a Blocked Account Agreement or maintained with the Agent, the applicable Loan Party shall immediately furnish the Agent with written notice thereof and the Agent may require such Loan Party to close such account and have any such funds transferred to a Concentration Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement or maintained with the Agent.
 
(d)   A Loan Party may close any Deposit Account or a Concentration Account, maintain existing Deposit Accounts or Concentration Accounts and/or open new Deposit Accounts or Concentration Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements with respect to each Concentration Account (except with respect to any Concentration Account maintained with the Agent) consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.18 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.  The applicable Loan Party shall furnish the Agent with prior written notice of its intention to open or close a Concentration Account and the Agent shall promptly notify such Loan Party as to whether the Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom such account will be maintained.
 

 
40

 

(e)    Each Agent Sweep Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has no right of withdrawal from the Agent Sweep Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in an Agent Sweep Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in an Agent Sweep Account shall be applied as provided in Section 2.18(i) of this Agreement and in the Security Agreement.  In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.18, during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event, a Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into a Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Agent.
 
(f)   Any amounts remaining in an Agent Sweep Account (i) at any time when a Cash Control Trigger Event is no longer continuing for purposes of this Agreement or (ii) after application of amounts received in such Agent Sweep Account as set forth in subsection (h) below, shall be remitted to the primary Concentration Account of the Company maintained with the Agent.
 
(g)  The Agent shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) furnish written notice to each Person with whom a Concentration Account is maintained when a Cash Control Trigger Event is no longer continuing for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(h)  (i) Any amounts received in an Agent Sweep Account in the United States shall be applied to the payment (without a corresponding reduction of Commitments) of all of the Advances made to the Company (whether then due or not) and to the payment of all of the other Obligations under the Loan Documents of the Company and the US Subsidiary Guarantors (other than contingent obligations) (whether then due or not) in accordance with the Security Agreement (with all Advances deemed due for purposes thereof).  (ii) Any amounts received in an Agent Sweep Account in Canada shall be applied to the payment (without a corresponding reduction of Commitments) of all of the Advances made to Kodak Canada (whether then due or not) and to the payment of all of the other Obligations under the Loan Documents of Kodak Canada and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors (other than contingent obligations) (whether then due or not) in accordance with the Canadian Security Agreement (with all Advances deemed due for purposes thereof).  (iii) All payments to be made in accordance with this subsection (h) in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor, and shall be held in the applicable Agent Sweep Account pending such payment.
 
(i) The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement:
 
(i) funds shall be deemed to have been deposited to an Agent Sweep Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that such deposit is available to the Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except that if the Obligations are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. on that Business Day);
 
(ii) funds paid to the Agent, other than by deposit to an Agent Sweep Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that such payment is available to the Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except that if the Obligations are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. on that Business Day); and
 
(iii) if a deposit to an Agent Sweep Account or payment is not available to the Agent until after 4:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00 a.m. on the then next Business Day.
 
SECTION 2.19.  Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to a Borrower and (iii) such Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of such Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance.  In the event that, on any date, a Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and
 

 
41

 

otherwise applied by such Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01.  Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a).  A Borrower shall notify the Agent at any time such Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a).  Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by a Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by such Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by such Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.19.
 
 (b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Agent  or other Lenders and (iii) a Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by such Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount.  In the event that the Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date.  Any such amount so applied by the Agent shall be retained by the Agent or distributed by the Agent to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Agent and such other Lenders and, if the amount of such payment made by a Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Agent and the other Lenders, in the following order of priority:
 
(i) first, to the Agent for any Defaulted Amount then owing to the Agent in its capacity as Agent; and
 
(ii) second, to the Issuing Banks for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Issuing Banks; and
 
(iii) third, to any other Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders.
 
Any portion of such amount paid by a Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.19.
 
(c)   In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) a Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower or such other Lender shall pay such amount to the Agent to be held by the Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it.  Any funds held by the Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Agent in an account with Citibank, in the name and under the control of the Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c).  The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be Citibank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it.  Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c).  The Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Agent or any other Lender, as and when such Advances or amounts are required to
 

 
42

 

be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:
 
(i) first, to the Agent for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder in its capacity as Agent;
 
(ii) second, to the Issuing Banks for any amounts then due and payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Issuing Banks;
 
(iii) third, to any other Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lenders; and
 
(iv) fourth, to the Company for any Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
 
In the event that any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender shall be distributed by the Agent to such Lender and applied by such Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.
 
(d)   The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies that such Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.
 
(e)   Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the Company’s request that it cure such default, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to repay such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Advances owing to such Lender, together with all other amounts due and payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents, and such Lender’s Commitment hereunder shall be terminated immediately thereafter.
 
 (f)   If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, may, by notice to the Company and such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender through the Agent, require the applicable Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of such Borrower to the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or such Potential Defaulting Lender in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent, and to the Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.
 
(g)   If either Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of a Potential Defaulting Lender’s exposure with respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit, no Borrower shall be required to pay any fees under Section 2.04(c)(i) to any Potential Defaulting Lender that is an Extending Lender at any time when the Letter of Credit is so Cash Collateralized.

SECTION 7.05. Guaranty Supplements.  i)  Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “US Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor”, as applicable, shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.
 
SECTION 7.06. Subordination.  (a)  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the applicable Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.06:
 
 (b) Prohibited Payments, Etc.  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, however, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.
 
(c)  Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all applicable Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
 
(d) Turn-Over.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Guarantor shall, if the Agent (with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders) so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
 
(e) Agent Authorization.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the applicable Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the
 

 
68

 

Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to the applicable Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).
 
SECTION 7.07. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the Extension Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent and the Lenders and their successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns.  Upon the sale of a Guarantor or any or all of the assets of any Guarantor to the extent permitted in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or upon such Guarantor otherwise ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America without violation of the terms of this Agreement, such Guarantor (and its Subsidiaries) or such assets shall be automatically released from this Guaranty or any Guaranty Supplement, and all pledges and security interests of the equity of such Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Guarantor and all other pledges and security interests in the assets of such Guarantor and any of its Subsidiaries shall be released as provided in Section  9.14.  Without limiting the generality of clause (c) above, the Agent or any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07.  No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
 
     ARTICLE VIII           
 
 
 
THE AGENT
 
SECTION 8.01.  Authorization and Action.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints CUSA to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
 
SECTION 8.02.  Agent Individually.  (a)  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 
 (b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates.  Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrowers, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates.  Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group.  None of the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of
 

 
69

 

 the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders.
 
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents).  Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.  None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Borrower Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
 
SECTION 8.03. Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Agent's duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.
 
 (b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 or 9.03) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Company or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default and such event or events.
 
(c) Neither the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the information presented to the other Lenders by the Company, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
 
(d) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Agent or  any of its Related Parties to carry out any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company or any other Loan Party), 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.
 
SECTION 8.05. Indemnification.  (a)  Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Company) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (based upon the aggregate of the Advances and unused Commitments (other than Letter of Credit Commitments) of the Lenders) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by the Company.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.
 
 (b) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Banks (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Company) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the L/C Related Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse any such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Company under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Company.
 
(c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.  Each of the Agent and each Issuing Bank agrees to return to the Lenders their respective ratable shares of any amounts paid under this Section 8.05 that are subsequently reimbursed by the Company.
 
SECTION 8.06. Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more co-agents or sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such co-agent or sub-agent may perform any and
 

 
71

 

all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  Each such co-agent and sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such co-agent and sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (as though such co-agents and sub-agents were the “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 8.07.  Resignation of Agent.  (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation.  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.05 and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
 
 (b) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Company and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents arising on or after the effective date of such successor’s appointment, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
 
SECTION 8.08.  Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  (a)  Each Lender confirms to the Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.
 
 (b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own
 

 
72

 

 credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
 
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Company and each other Loan Party;
 
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;
 
(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
 
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.
 
SECTION 8.09. No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Bookrunners, Arrangers or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or as a Lender hereunder.

to such transaction each of the Affiliated Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrowers, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Affiliated Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of either Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Affiliated Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising either Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to either Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.  The Borrowers further acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for making their own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  The Borrowers agree that they will not claim that any Affiliated Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrowers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
 
SECTION 9.18.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
