equity), and obligations of every nature whatsoever (other than any obligations to advance Loans under and in accordance with the Credit Agreement), whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether matured or unmatured, whether fixed or contingent that the Borrower or any Guarantor has or may have against the Releasees, or any of them, in each case which arise from or relate to any actions which the Releasees, or any of them, have or may have taken or omitted to take in connection with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents prior to the date hereof (including with respect to the Obligations, any Collateral and any third parties liable in whole or in part for the Obligations); provided that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is waiving any defense to expense reimbursement or indemnification expressly set forth in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement. This provision shall survive and continue in full force and effect whether or not the Borrower shall satisfy all other provisions of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(b) Related Indemnity. The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree that its release of the Releasees set forth in Section 11(a) shall include an obligation to indemnify and hold the Releasees, or any of them, harmless with respect to any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by the Releasees, or any of them, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to any proceeding by, or on behalf of any Person, including officers, directors, agents, trustees, creditors, partners or shareholders of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower or such Guarantor, whether threatened or initiated, asserting any claim for legal or equitable remedy under any statutes, regulation, common law principle or otherwise arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of this Amendment or any other document executed in connection herewith; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for any indemnification to a Releasee to the extent that any such liability, obligation, loss, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement results from (i) the applicable Releasee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Guarantor against an Indemnitee for a material breach in bad faith of such Releasee’s obligations under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document if the Borrower or such Guarantor has obtained a final, non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) a dispute solely among the Releasees and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than any claim against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or an L/C Issuer under the Credit Agreement). The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
