34

authorizes Alter Domus Products Corp. to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to or required of Alter Domus Products Corp. by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Alter Domus Products Corp. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts such appointment to act as Administrative Agent for the Lender hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Financing Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact to perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under the Financing Documents, as applicable, and shall not be responsible for the negligence nor misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with due care. The Administrative Agent and any such agent employed thereby may perform any and all of its duties through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such agent and their respective Related Parties, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility nor liability for the actions and omissions of the Lender.

Section 8.02 Exculpatory Provisions. The duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be strictly administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not:

(a) have duties nor responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Financing Documents to which the Administrative Agent is or becomes a party, and no duties, responsibilities, covenants, or obligations shall be inferred or implied against any Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary duties or be a trustee for any Secured Party, regardless whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c) be responsible for the contents or accuracy of any statement, representation, warranty, certificate, report or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under, any Financing Document,

(d) be responsible for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Collateral or any Financing Document or any other document referred to or provided for in any Financing Document;

(f) be required to initiate or conduct any, remedial, litigation, or collection proceedings under any Financing Document;

(g) be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Financing Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for in any Financing Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction;

35

(h) be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or the Lender;

(i) except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose or be liable for the failure to disclose any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its branches or Affiliates in any capacity;

(j) be liable under or in connection with any Financing Document for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action; or

(k) be responsible for the validity, perfection, priority, or enforceability of any Lien or security interest created, or purported to be created, by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any filing, registration, or recording related thereto.

Section 8.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative 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 the Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to the Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from the Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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 8.04 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor. At any time, the Administrative Agent may be removed with or without cause by the Lender. If no such successor is so appointed by the Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Lender) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to the Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Lender appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing

36

Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.05 Non-Reliance. The Administrative Agent acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Administrative Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by the Credit Parties or any other Person of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or to inspect the Properties or books of the Credit Parties or such other Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lender or Secured Parties by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty nor responsibility to provide the Lender, or any Secured Party, with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Credit Parties (or any Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

Section 8.06 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Lender shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lender and the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by the Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Lender shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Administrative Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03.

Section 8.07 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lender agrees, and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent,

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (f) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned; provided further, that (i) consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for assignments to any Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); (ii) the assignee, if it is not a Lender hereunder, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent together with any other documentation and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and (iii) the parties to such assignment shall deliver a processing fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent at the time of such assignment (it being understood that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such fee).

(c) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Lender and the Borrower an Assignment and Assumption. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(d) Register. The Lender, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender and

41

any additional lenders (if any), and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, the Lender(s) pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lender and any additional lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Participations. The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) its obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with its Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that directly and materially affects such Participant. If the Lender sells a participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Financing Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any Financing Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Loan hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default on the Closing Date, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied and so long as the Loan has not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 9.03, 9.13 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment in full of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided

42

in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 9.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the Lender or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Financing Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Lender promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

No Party may prosecute or commence any suit or action against any other Party relating to any matters that are subject to this Section 9.09, except as provided for in this Section 9.09.

Within thirty (30) days after one Party gives the other Party written notice describing the dispute and requesting negotiations, representatives of the Parties with authority to resolve the

43

dispute shall meet at a mutually-agreed upon location to attempt to resolve the dispute. Negotiations shall continue until the Parties have resolved the Disputed Claim or until one of the Parties gives written notice that it will no longer continue to negotiate. If, for any reason, the Parties’ representatives fail to meet within the thirty (30) day deadline or if a Party gives written notice that it is no longer willing to continue negotiations, either Party may commence binding arbitration of the Disputed Claim pursuant to Section 9.09(d) (“Dispute Arbitration”).

(d) Arbitration.

Each Party shall appoint one (1) neutral arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after commencement of Dispute Arbitration, and the two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, by the American Arbitration Association, who shall chair the tribunal. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas. The arbitrators shall apply the substantive law of Texas to the merits of the Disputed Claim, except that the arbitrators shall not apply any choice of law rules that would call for the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except as may be required by Applicable Law, neither Party nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content (including any and all documents and testimony exchanged or introduced in the arbitral proceeding), or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to protect or pursue a legal right, including enforcement of an arbitral award.

(e) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to the Lender in respect of other

44

Loan or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Lender in its reasonable discretion for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Lender. Any amount collected by the Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

Section 9.13 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) the Lender severally agrees to pay to the Lender upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Lender, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum determined by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

Section 9.14 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Financing Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.14, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.14, (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or the Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (z) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Borrower or violating the terms of this Section 9.14. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

For purposes of this Section 9.14, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
