If no such successor shall have been so appointed as set forth above and shall have accepted such appointment within such 30-day period, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Hedge Counterparties, with the consent (other than during the existence of a Hedge Agreement Default) of Calumet (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, if no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any tangible Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Hedge Counterparties under any of the Collateral Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral, and be subject to the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect thereto, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Hedge Counterparty directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Collateral Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Calumet to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Calumet and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub- agents selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
