NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1 Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein (including in the introductory paragraph and the recitals) have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE II
AMENDMENTS
Section 2.1 Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. The parties to the Existing Credit Agreement agree, effective as of the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The Existing Credit Agreement is amended to add Section 15 to read as follows:
Section 15. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that this Credit Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Interest Hedge Agreements 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 this Credit Agreement 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):
a) | 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 this Credit Agreement 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 this Credit Agreement 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. |
(b) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order to read as follows:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) | a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); |

(iii) | a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). |

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing conditions will not apply to any acquisitions of any new Collateral Obligations by the Borrower from the Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent.
