Solicitations as Agent Purchases as Principal In soliciting purchases of Notes on behalf of the Company and in performing its other obligations hereunder (other than with respect to any purchase by an Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement), each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Company and not as principal. Each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase the Notes has been solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company; provided, however, that such Agent shall not have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall pay to such Agent the commission it would have received had such sale been consummated and the Company shall hold such Agent harmless against any other loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company. Each purchase of Notes solicited by an Agent as agent shall be confirmed by such Agent and the Company in writing by facsimile transmission or otherwise at or about, or prior to, the Applicable Time. The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Notes from the Company as principal, but any Agent may agree, from time to time, to purchase Notes as principal. Any such purchase of Notes by an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement.
Solicitations as Agent The Agents propose to solicit offers to purchase the Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus and upon the terms communicated to the Agents from time to time by the Company and the Trust or the Purchasing Agent, as the case may be. For the purpose of such solicitation, the Agents are not authorized, without the prior written consent of the Company, to provide any written information relating to the Company and the Trust to any prospective purchaser other than the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented which has been most recently distributed to the Agents by the Company, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Notes only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Company and the Trust reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally) from the Company and the Trust, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company and the Trust has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company and the Trust, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Notes only in denominations of $1,000 or more (in multiples of $1,000). The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes without the consent of the Company and the Trust. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein. The Company and the Trust agree to pay the Purchasing Agent, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase Notes pursuant to the Selling Agent Agreement, a concession in the form of a discount equal to the percentages of the initial offering price of each Note actually sold as set forth in Exhibit Q hereto (the "Concession"); provided, however, that the Company, the Trust and the Purchasing Agent may agree also to a Concession greater than or less than the percentages set forth on Exhibit Q hereto. The actual aggregate Concession with respect to the Notes will be set forth in the related Pricing Supplement. The Purchasing Agent and the other Agents or Selected Dealers will share the above-mentioned Concession in such proportions as they may agree. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company and the Trust, all Notes shall be sold to the public at a purchase price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any. Such purchase price shall be set forth in the confirmation statement of the Agent or Selected Dealer responsible for such sale and delivered to the purchaser along with a copy of the Prospectus (if not previously delivered) and Pricing Supplement.
Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact On the Closing Date, each Corporate Credit Party shall execute and deliver a Power of Attorney in the form attached as Exhibit E. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney and all powers granted under any Credit Document are powers coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Lender under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender agrees, except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, not to exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Corporate Credit Party authorizes Lender to file any financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law. NONE OF LENDER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Solicitation of Customers During the periods in which the provisions of Section 8(a) shall be in effect, the Executive, directly or indirectly, will not seek nor accept Prohibited Business from any Customer (as defined below) on behalf of any enterprise or business other than the Company, refer Prohibited Business from any Customer to any enterprise or business other than the Company or receive commissions based on sales or otherwise relating to the Prohibited Business from any Customer, or any enterprise or business other than the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means any person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity to which the Company or any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or services during the 24-month period prior to the time at which any determination is required to be made as to whether any such person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity is a Customer, or who or which was approached by or who or which has approached an employee of the Company for the purpose of soliciting business from the Company or the third party, as the case may be. Provided, however, the goods or services must be competitive in some respect to the Company’s business during such time.
Purchases as Principal Each sale of Notes to the Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Agent and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by the Agent. Each "Terms Agreement" may take the form of an exchange of any form of written telecommunication or oral communication followed by written confirmation or telecommunication between the Agent and the Company and shall be with respect to such information (as applicable) as is specified in Exhibit A hereto. The Agent's commitment to purchase Notes as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each agreement by the Agent to purchase Notes as principal (whether or not set forth in a Terms Agreement) shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by the Agent pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such agreement shall also specify any requirements for officers' certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent public accountants of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by the Agent. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by the Agent as principal or as agent or by any other purchaser is referred to herein as a "Settlement Date." Upon the Company's request, the Agent will notify the Company either orally or in writing (as specified by the Company) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by the Agent as principal purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.
