<U>8.03(j)</U>&nbsp;and <U>8.05</U> as if it were an Assignee). In addition, each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower&rsquo;s
request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of <U>Section&nbsp;8.05</U> with respect
to any Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c)&nbsp;or (d)&nbsp;below shall be given effect
for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Lender
that sells a participation 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&rsquo;s interest
in the Loans or other obligations hereunder or under any Note (the &ldquo;<B>Participant Register</B>&rdquo;); provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant (other
than for the consent requirements set forth in the first sentence of this <U>Section&nbsp;9.06(b)</U>) or any information relating to
a Participant&rsquo;s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations hereunder or under any Note) to
any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section&nbsp;5f.103-1(c)&nbsp;of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register.</FONT></P>
