(ii) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the other Secured Facilities Parties for (A) the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of the Secured Facilities Parties (other than as to itself) of any of their respective agreements contained herein or therein, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable because of the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement (other than as to itself) or (B) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder (except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent), the validity of the title to the Collateral, insuring the Collateral or the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(iii) In the event that the Administrative Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Administrative Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Administrative Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Administrative Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Administrative Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Except for such claims or actions arising directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any person or entity for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Administrative Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to
the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time after any foreclosure on the Collateral (or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure) upon the exercise of remedies in accordance with the Security Documents it is necessary or advisable to take possession, own, operate or manage any portion of the Collateral by any person or entity other than the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall appoint an appropriately qualified Person to possess, own, operate or manage such Collateral.
(iv) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and related Security Documents are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it, the Administrative Agent shall have no other duty as to the Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lenders or Issuing Banks has or is deemed to have knowledge of any matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to exercise reasonable care in respect of the custody and preservation of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.”
(v) In the existing Section 10.9 entitled “Action by Administrative Agent”, the following provision is added at the end of subsection (a) thereof:
“The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power under this Agreement or the Security Documents, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Security Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise and only so long as so directed in writing to take such discretionary action by the “Required Lenders” provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of a property interest in violation of any applicable bankruptcy/ insolvency laws and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under the Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it first receives further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such discretionary action at the direction of the Required Lenders. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its
own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement.”

(y) In the existing Section 10.20 entitled “Other Agents”, the following provision is added at the end thereof:
“The obligations of the Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents are several and not joint. Failure by any one Lender to perform its obligations does not affect the obligations (or liability) of Administrative Agent or any other Lender thereunder.”
(z) In the existing Section 11.12 entitled “Notifications”, the following provision is added at the end of subsection (b) thereof entitled “Flood Notification”:
“Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Mortgages delivered to Administrative Agent contains a covenant for the mortgagor thereunder to provide flood insurance if the mortgaged premises or any portion thereof are located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act, and prior to accepting any future mortgage on additional real property, the Administrative Agent will give the Lenders at least 45 days prior notice of such, so that the Lenders may conduct flood insurance due diligence with respect thereto, and Administrative Agent will coordinate with the Company to deliver to Lender any additional information needed for such Lender’s flood due diligence.”
(aa) The Agreement is amended to add the following provision as a new Section 11.20:
“11.20 Contractual Recognition of Bail-In - Notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between any party to this Agreement (each a “Party”), each Party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party that is an EEA Financial Institution to any other Party under or in connection with the Loan Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:
(a) any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):
(i) | a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect to any such liability; |
(ii) | a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and |
(iii) | a cancellation of any such liability; and |
(b) a variation of any term of any Loan Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.”
