9.7 Indemnification.
(a) The Lenders (other than any Lender solely in its capacity as a DSRA L/C Issuing Bank) agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to such Lender’s respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each of the DSRA L/C Lenders agree to indemnify each DSRA L/C Issuing Bank in its capacity solely as a DSRA L/C Issuing Bank and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “L/C Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to such DSRA L/C Lender’s respective DSRA L/C Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the DSRA L/C Commitments shall have terminated and the DSRA L/C Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such DSRA L/C Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the DSRA L/C Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such L/C Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the issuances of any Letters of Credit or any obligations of the DSRA L/C Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such L/C Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no DSRA L/C Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such L/C Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the DSRA L/C Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not such hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any DSRA L/C Issuing Bank or any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “DSRA L/C Issuing Bank”, “DSRA L/C Issuing Banks”, “Lender” and “Lenders” (in each case to the extent applicable) shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the DSRA L/C Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then, subject to Section 10.1(e), the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 8(a) or 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
