The Revolving A Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing May 31, 2020 and ending on the
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
33


date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under the Revolving A Loan Facility shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Revolving A Loan Commitment has been terminated. The Revolving A Loan Commitment Fee shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the Revolving A Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving A Lenders’ respective Revolving A Loan Commitment Percentages. (i) the amount by which the total of the Revolving A Loan Commitments is greater than the average daily outstanding balance of the Revolving A Loans and the Swing Loans for the quarter or period just ended multiplied by (ii) a percentage per annum equal to the Fee Percentage.
(c) Revolving B Loan Commitment Fees. Commencing on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Revolving B Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the Fee Percentage on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving B Loan Commitment of the Revolving B Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any). The Revolving B Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing May 31, 2020 and ending on the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under the Revolving B Loan Facility shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Revolving B Loan Commitment has been terminated. The Revolving B Loan Commitment Fee shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the Revolving B Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving B Lenders’ respective Revolving B Loan Commitment Percentages. (i) the amount by which the total of the Revolving B Loan Commitments is greater than the average daily outstanding balance of the Revolving B Loans for the quarter or period just ended multiplied by (ii) a percentage per annum equal to the Fee Percentage.
(d) Computation and Payment. All interest and per annum fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Applicable Maturity Date. Interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be paid on (i) the last day of its Interest Period, (ii) at the end of the third month of its Interest Period (if such period is six months in duration), (iii) on the date of any payment of principal made before the end of its Interest Period and (iv) on the Applicable Maturity Date.
2.4 INTEREST OPTIONS
(a) Election. With respect to the Revolving Loans, Borrower may (i) except as otherwise provided herein, at any time when a Default is not continuing, convert all or any portion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for an Interest Period designated by Borrower, and (ii) convert all or a portion of a LIBOR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto to a Base Rate Loan or, if no Default is continuing, to a LIBOR Loan for a new Interest Period designated by Borrower, provided that if Borrower has not made the required interest rate conversion or continuation election prior to the last day of any Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan. Each LIBOR Loan elected pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) must be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 and at no time shall there be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods outstanding with respect to LIBOR Loans elected pursuant to this Section 2.4(a).
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
34


(b) Notice to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall request each interest rate conversion or continuation under Section 2.4(a) by giving Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing), in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”), that specifies, among other things: (i) the Loan to which such Notice of Conversion or Continuation applies; (ii) the principal amount that is the subject of such conversion or continuation; (iii) the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day; and (iv) if such Notice pertains to a LIBOR Loan, the length of the applicable Interest Period. Any such Notice of Conversion or Continuation must be received by Administrative Agent not later than noon (Portland time) (i) at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of any Base Rate interest selection, and (ii) at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of any LIBOR interest selection. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation, or if timely notice is not received from Borrower prior to the last day of any Interest Period, of the automatic conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan.
2.5 PAYMENTS GENERALLY
(a) Administrative Agent may, and Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, debit any deposit account of Borrower with Administrative Agent for all payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Loan Documents as they become due, provided that Administrative Agent shall first debit Borrower’s account no. 4159601087 with Administrative Agent, before debiting any other account.
(b) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in same day funds not later than noon, Portland time, on the date specified herein. All payments received by Administrative Agent after noon, Portland time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(c) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day.
(d) Subject to Section 9.4 (which provisions shall apply at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, toward costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder with respect to the Revolving B Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (iii) third, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder with respect to the Revolving A Loans and Swing Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (iv) fourth, toward repayment of principal then due hereunder with respect to the Revolving B Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, and (v) fifth, toward repayment of principal
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
35


then due hereunder with respect to the Revolving A Loans and Swing Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(e) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to Administrative Agent hereunder, that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to Administrative Agent in same day funds, then:
(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds, at the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to Administrative Agent the amount thereof in same day funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(f) If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article II, and the applicable conditions in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(g) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
(h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
36


2.6 FUNDING
(a) Lender Funding and Disbursement. Each Lender shall, by 1:30 PM (Portland time) on the date of each borrowing make available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V, Administrative Agent will promptly disburse such funds in same day or immediately available funds to Borrower. Unless otherwise directed by Borrower in writing, Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of each borrowing to Borrower by deposit to any demand deposit account maintained by Borrower with Administrative Agent designated by Borrower in a notice to Administrative Agent.
(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender on or before the date of any borrowing hereunder that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing in accordance with Section 2.6(a), and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower (or otherwise disburse) on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount until made available to Administrative Agent at a rate equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be presumptive evidence of such amounts. If any Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any borrowing is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after the date of such borrowing, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, an amount equal to such Commitment Percentage together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest specified in Section 2.3(a).
(c) Lenders’ Obligations Several. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to do so on the date requested, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available the Commitment Percentage to be funded by such other Lender.
2.7 PRO RATA TREATMENT
(a) Borrowings. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Loan, except a Swing Loan, shall be made by or shared by each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.
(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment of principal, interest or fees shall be made or shared among Lenders ratably. If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of a Loan in excess of its Commitment Percentage of payments on the Loans obtained by all Lenders, such Lender (“Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders sufficient participations to cause the Purchasing Lender’s interest in the Loans to
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
37


be in the same proportionate relationship with all Loans as before such payment was received; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the Purchasing Lender, the purchased participation shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender (i) the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with (ii) an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if the Purchasing Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation and, provided further, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.10 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swing Loans to any assignee or participant.
2.8 STATEMENTS
From time to time, Administrative Agent may render to Borrower a statement setting forth the balance in the loan account(s) maintained by Administrative Agent for Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses, and it is Administrative Agent’s present intention to do so once a month. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Administrative Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrower and conclusively binding upon Borrower as an account stated except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions thereto within sixty days after the date such statement has been mailed by Administrative Agent. Until such time as Administrative Agent shall have rendered to Borrower a written statement as provided above, the balance in the loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lenders by Borrower.
2.9 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES
On the Closing Date, and from time to time subsequent thereto at Borrower’s option, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, which designates by name each of Borrower’s Authorized Representatives or amends or amends and restates all prior such notices and includes the respective specimen signatures of each additional Authorized Representative (each such notice, amendment to a previous notice or amended and restated notice, a “Notice of Authorized Representatives”). Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the authority of each officer or employee designated as an Authorized Representative in the most current Notice of Authorized Representatives delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent, to request borrowings, to select interest rate options hereunder, and to give to Administrative Agent such other notices as are specified herein as being made through one of Borrower’s Authorized Representatives, until such time as Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent has actual receipt of, a new Notice of Authorized Representatives. Administrative Agent shall have no duty

38


or obligation to Borrower to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or Continuation or any other notice from an Authorized Representative or to verify the authenticity of any person purporting to be an Authorized Representative giving any telephonic notice permitted hereby.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.1 TAXES
(a)For purposes of this Section 3.1, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
39


delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.1, such Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(g)Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
40


upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
41


(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

3.2 ILLEGALITY
If any Lender determines that any Governmental Rule has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take, U.S. Dollar deposits in the London interbank market, in each case after the date hereof, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Promptly upon making any such determination, such Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of written notice from such Lender, prepay or convert all such LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
3.3 INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES
        Unless and until a Benchmark Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 3.8 below, if Administrative Agent determines in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan that (a) U.S. Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for such Loan, or (c) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and all Lenders that it has revoked such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a LIBOR Loan, conversion or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.
3.4 INCREASED COSTS
(a)If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
43


Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office or the lending office of such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving A Loan Commitment or Revolving B Loan Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swing Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Revolving A Loan Commitment or Revolving B Loan Commitment, as applicable, under current Applicable Laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall be advised by any Governmental Authority or shall otherwise determine on the basis of pronouncements of any Governmental Authority that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under this Section (each such claim to be made within a reasonable period of time after the period to which it relates) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.
(c)A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such other

Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)All of the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 3.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
3.5 INDEMNITY FOR FUNDING LOSSES
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following receipt by Borrower from any Lender of a certificate of such Lender in accordance with the last paragraph in this Section 3.5, Borrower, on demand, shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(b)any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such LIBOR Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it at LIBOR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.
(c)The amount of any loss, cost or expense compensable by Borrower to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be determined by such Lender, who shall notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a certificate of such Lender stating that the calculations set forth therein are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such calculations, such certificate being conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The amount set forth in such certificate shall be payable by Borrower on the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of such certificate to Borrower. In

(a)If (i) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Credit Agreement that, pursuant to Section 11.4, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected, or a Lender imposes charges, costs and expenses unacceptable to Borrower under Section 3.4 (any such Defaulting Lender, Non-Consenting Lender or other Lender, a “Subject Lender”), (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee (as defined in Section 11.5(h)), to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, and (iv) any such Lender or Eligible Assignee is approved by Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, then Borrower may require the Subject Lender to assign any or all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.5; provided, that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (A) the Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Subject Lender through such date of replacement in respect of the applicable portion of the Subject Lender’s Commitments to be assigned and a release from its obligations (relating to the assigned portion) under the Loan Documents, (B) the processing fee, if any, required to be paid under Section 11.5 shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent, (C) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in Section 11.5, including the consent of the Administrative Agent and the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment and Assumption and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled, and (D) if such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Borrower also requires each other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving A Lenders”, “Required Revolving B Lenders” and Section 11.4.
(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
46


mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Swing Line Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.10; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or Swing Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 3.7(b)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.7(b)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
47


such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 11.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, repay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.
(c)If the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.7(b)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
3.8 CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES
(a)Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is implemented in accordance with clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
48


and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 2.3(a)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.
(b)If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Applicable Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Applicable Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 3.10 in respect of Swing Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Swing Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.10 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 3.7, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Swing Line Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Governmental Rule. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b)Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including each holder of Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).

        The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
10.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS
(a)Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
79


jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” is given to Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.5 DELEGATION OF DUTIES
        Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective related parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities hereunder, as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

10.6 RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
(a)Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or financial institution reasonably experienced in serving as administrative agent on syndicated bank facilities with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or financial institution with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Governmental Rule, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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 removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
81


the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or relating to its duties as Administrative Agent that are carried out following its retirement or removal.
(d)Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties, if in its sole discretion it elects to, and Swing Line Lender and (ii) the retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
10.7 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS
        Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.8 NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC.
        Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
10.9 COLLATERAL AND GUARANTY MATTERS
(a)Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a holder of Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations) irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:
(i) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Revolving A Loan Commitment, Revolving B Loan Commitment and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Hedge Obligations as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable holders thereof shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition to a Person other than a Loan

Party permitted under the Loan Documents, as certified by the Borrower, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.2;
(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien; and
(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents, as certified by the Borrower.
Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.9. In each case as specified in this Section 10.9, Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.9 as certified by the Borrower.
(b)Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
10.10 SECURED HEDGE OBLIGATIONS AND SECURED CASH MANAGEMENT OBLIGATIONS
        No holder of any Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of Section 9.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable holders thereof.

An Indemnitee may also require Borrower to defend the matter. Any failure or delay of an Indemnitee to notify Borrower of any suit, claim or demand shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations of this Section 11.3, but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase in those obligations caused solely by an unreasonable failure or delay in providing such notice.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(i) extend or increase the Commitment of a Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.2) without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent in Section 5.2 or of any Default or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is not considered an extension or increase in Commitments by any Lender);
(ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled reduction of the Commitments hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment or whose Commitments are to be reduced;

86


(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (A) of the final proviso to this Section 11.4) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such amount; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (A) amend the definition of “Default Rate” or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;
(iv) change Section 2.7 or Section 9.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or modify Section 11.21 hereof; (iii) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (iv) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (v) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
87


Loan Document) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision and (vi) the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.8(c) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.8(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (A) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and (B) any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder which requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms disproportionately and adversely affects any such Defaulting Lender relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to (x) amend and restate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including amendments to this Section 11.4) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Section 3.9 (including as applicable, (1) to permit the Incremental Increases to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (2) to include an Incremental Increase, as applicable, in any determination of (i) Required Lenders or Required Revolving B Lenders, as applicable or (ii) similar required lender terms applicable thereto); provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Commitment Percentage, in each case, without the written consent of such affected Lender.
(b) No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, privilege or remedy under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.
(c) This Agreement cannot be changed orally or by the conduct of the parties and may be amended or modified only in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

11.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; LENDER ASSIGNMENT
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined in subsection (h) below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), Participations (as defined in subsection (d) below) in Swing Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Commitment unless Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a Participation (as defined in subsection (d) below) in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) below. The assignee shall, on or prior to the date on which the assignment is made, deliver to Borrower and to Administrative Agent the appropriate IRS form as prescribed by Section 3.1 of this Agreement. If an Assignment of all or a portion of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement would result (under the terms of Section 3.1) in any payment by Borrower of additional sums, notwithstanding Section 3.1 or any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional sums.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
89


(c) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, for purposes of determining each Lender’s share of the Loans and the Commitments, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Loans) owing to it) (a “Participation”); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the Participant shall have no rights against Borrower or any Subsidiaries or Administrative Agent, and Borrower and Administrative Agent need give notices to and deal only with such Lender and shall have no obligation to any Participant. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant, (iii) release any Guarantor from any Guaranty, or (iv) release all or substantially all of the collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations. Subject to subsection (e) below, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (provided it complies in fact with all the obligations of, and requirements imposed on, Lenders thereunder to the same extent as were it a Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.7(c) as though it were a Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under the Agreement than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Participation sold to such Participant.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations, to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
90


assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) If the consent of Borrower to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 11.5(b)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been given to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to the close of business on such fifth Business Day.
(h) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) that is a financial institution approved by (i) Administrative Agent, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving A Loan or a Revolving B Loan (ii) the Swing Line Lender and (iii) unless (A) such Person is taking delivery of an assignment in connection with physical settlement of a credit derivative transaction or (B) an Event of Default is continuing, Borrower (each such approval referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include Borrower or any of Borrower’s affiliates or Subsidiaries.
“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Wells Fargo may, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrower terminate the Swing Line. In the event of any such termination of the Swing Line, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the termination of the Swing Line. If Wells Fargo terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.
11.6 SETOFF
In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) but without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, during the continuance of an Event of Default to setoff and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of Borrower to such Lender any amount owing from such Lender or any affiliate thereof to Borrower at any time during
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

the continuation of an Event of Default. This right of setoff may be exercised by such Lender against Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of setoff shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.7 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

11.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
