(h) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no such event will occur upon the making of the Loan.

(i) The Borrower has good title to its assets free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created hereby and by the Security Agreement and the Permitted Liens.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or substantially similar provisions under

ARTICLE XIII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 13.01. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to the Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any amount on the Closing Date after Notice of Borrowing has been given to the Lender in accordance with Section 2.02, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender within three Banking Days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by the Lender including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties; provided that the Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense.

SECTION 13.02. Increased Costs. Except as to Taxes (it being understood that the Borrower’s liability for Taxes will be exclusively determined under Article V), the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender on demand for all increases in costs incurred by the Lender and all reductions in amounts received or receivable by the Lender or in the rate of return on the Lender’s capital, as reasonably determined by the Lender, that are attributable to the Loan or the performance by the Lender of its obligations under this Agreement and that occur by reason of the promulgation after the date hereof of any Law or treaty or any change after the date hereof in any Law or treaty or in the interpretation thereof or by reason of compliance by the Lender with any direction, requirement or request (whether or not having the force of Law) of any Governmental Authority, including any such cost or reduction resulting from the imposition or amendment of any capital adequacy requirement or any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, the Lender; provided that the Lender shall not be entitled to be reimbursed for such increased costs or reductions in amount receivable or the rate of return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which it gives notice to the Borrower of such increased costs or reduction in amount receivable or rate of return.

SECTION 13.03. Other Losses. (a) The Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, the Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of such Indemnitee; provided, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Party shall assert, and each Party hereby waives, any claim against each other Party and such Party’s Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or

 

36


not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

SECTION 13.04. Assumption of Defense; Settlements. If the Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Article XIII with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against the Borrower, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Upon assumption by the Borrower of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Borrower shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but the Borrower shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Lender in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Borrower has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in a timely manner or (iii) the Lender shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Borrower and the Lender, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Lender that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Lender, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding. The Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Lender unless such compromise or settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Lender from all liability arising out of such action and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Lender. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for any amount paid or payable by the Lender in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Any agreement pursuant to which the Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article V and Article XII with respect to its participating interest, as though it were a Lender.
