Lender Relationship. Each Lender, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests and/or their Affiliates. The Loan Parties agree that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests or their Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect hereto or thereto) or the process leading hereto or thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, the owner of its Equity Interest or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Loan Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, owners of its Equity Interests, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of any lender or any of its Affiliates in their capacity as lenders to the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any agreement under which the Company or such Affiliate has borrowed money. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no such Person, in exercising its rights as a lender, including making its decision on whether to foreclose on any collateral security, will have any duty to consider (a) its status as a direct or indirect stockholder of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) the interests of the Company or any of its Affiliates or (c) any duty it may have to any other direct or indirect stockholder of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents.
