The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.3, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Collateral Agent, upon Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Collateral Agent by such Lender, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.8(c), (i) Collateral Agent and Lenders may make alternative arrangements with respect to the reimbursement by Lenders of Agent Advances made by Collateral Agent, and (ii) until such time as a Revolving Lender has provided the consent described in clause (y) of the final sentence of Section 2.2(a), such Revolving Lender shall have no obligation to comply with Collateral Agent’s demand for reimbursement of any Agent Advance.”

(y) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Schedule 5.26 thereto, to read in its entirety as set forth on Annex I hereto, and by adding a new Schedule 6.17 thereto, to read in its entirety as set forth on Annex II hereto.

7. Release. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to Credit Parties and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Credit Party (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and
