The Collateral Agent agrees that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such instructions with respect to any Concentration Account or withhold any withdrawal rights relating to any Concentration Account from the U.S. Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Party unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been become due and payable and remain unpaid.
