(g)Limitation on Parent’s Assets, Liabilities and Activities. The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by restating Section 8.17(b)(i) of the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety to read as follows:

“(ii)any Loan Party or any Subsidiary may convey, sell, lease, sublease or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions and whether effected pursuant to a Division or otherwise, its assets, or the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries to the Parent or any other Subsidiary of the Parent so long as immediately prior to the taking of such action, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence; provided, that, in each case described in this Section 10.4(ii), if any Loan Party that is a limited liability company consummates a Division, each Division Successor shall be required to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 8.14;”

(j)Qualified Financial Contracts.  The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following as Section 13.25:

 

Section 13.25.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFC. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives 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):  

 

 

(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 of 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 and such 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.

 

 

(b)

As used in this Section 13.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

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);

 

 

(ii)

a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

 

 

(iii)

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

 

Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

 

QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(B)

No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b)All fees owed to the Lenders incurred in connection with this Amendment and required to be paid as of the First Amendment Effective Date and all expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of legal counsel of the Administrative Agent) for which invoices have been presented to the Company on or prior to the First Amendment Effective Date shall have been paid.
