19.        Parallel Liability.

 

(a)            In this Section 19, (i) "Corresponding Liabilities" means all present and future liabilities and contractual and non-contractual obligations of an Obligor under or in connection with the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and the other Loan Documents, but excluding its Parallel Liability, and (ii) "Parallel Liability" means an Obligor's undertaking pursuant to this Section 19.

 

(b)            Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of its Corresponding Liabilities (as these may exist from time to time).

 

(c)            The parties hereto agree that:

 

(i)       an Obligor's Parallel Liability is due and payable at the same time as, for the same amount of and in the same currency as its Corresponding Liabilities;

 

(ii)       an Obligor's Parallel Liability is decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Liabilities have been irrevocably paid or discharged and its Corresponding Liabilities are decreased to the extent that its Parallel Liability has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

 

(iii)       an Obligor's Parallel Liability is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Liabilities, and constitutes a single obligation of such Obligor to Secured Parties (even though such Obligor may owe more than one Corresponding Liability to Secured Parties under the Loan Documents) and an independent and separate claim of Secured Parties to receive payment of that Parallel Liability (in its capacity as the independent and separate creditor of that Parallel Liability and not as a co-creditor in respect of the Corresponding Liabilities); and

 

(iv)       for purposes of this Section 19, Agent acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of Secured Parries and accordingly holds neither its claim resulting from a Parallel Liability nor any security agreement securing a Parallel Liability on trust.
