(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Committed ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that in the event that it shall become a Defaulting Lender, then until such time as such Committed Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Committed Lenders shall be suspended at all times that such Committed Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.1(c), the foregoing suspension shall not empower Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders to increase a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, decrease the rate of interest or fees applicable to, or extend the maturity date of such Defaulting Lender’s Advances or other Obligations owing to such Lender, in each case, without such Lender’s consent. No Commitment of any Committed Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 12.1(c), performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section 12.1(c). (ii) To the extent that any Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender with respect to an Advance, the Borrower may deliver a notice to the Lenders specifying the date of such Advance, the identity of the Defaulting Lender and the portion of such Advance that the Defaulting Lender failed to fund, which notice shall be deemed to be an additional Borrowing Notice in respect of such unfunded portion of such Advance, and each Committed Lender (or its related Conduit, if applicable, and acting in its sole discretion) shall, to the extent of its remaining unfunded Commitment and subject to the continued fulfillment of all applicable conditions precedent set forth herein with respect to such Advance, fund its Percentage (recomputed by excluding the Commitment of Defaulting Lenders from the Aggregate Commitment) of such unfunded portion of such Advance not later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of such notice. To the extent that any Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender on any date that the Letter of Credit Liability is greater than zero, each Committed Lender shall, automatically and without further action of any kind upon such date, acquire an increased participation interest in the Letters of Credit outstanding, along with all accompanying rights and obligations described in Sections 1.7 through 1.14, equal to the lessor of (x) its Percentage (recomputed by excluding the Commitment of Defaulting Lenders from the Aggregate Commitment) of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Liability and (y) its remaining unfunded Commitment. clause (iii) Until of the Defaulting Lender Excess preceding sentence shall not apply to an assignment of a Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero, security interest in all or any payment of the principal of any Loan to a Defaulting Lender shall, unless the Required Committed Lenders agree otherwise, be applied first (1) ratably, to the reduction of the Loans or the Letter of Credit Liability funding any defaulted portion of Advances or the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii) and then (2) ratably to reduce the Loans of each of the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with the principal amount (if any) thereof.

(iv) During any period that a Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall not accrue or be required to pay, and such Defaulting assignee. The assigning Lender shall not be entitled relieved of its obligations to receive, the Unused Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter) otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement at any time, or make Loans hereunder with respect to any period, that such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such complete or partial replacement or to assist in finding an assignee. In connection with any such complete or partial assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment Agreement. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, (A) to the extent that the assignee is assuming all of the interests, rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Percentage of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrower or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or members of such Defaulting Lender Group, as applicable, (B) to the extent that the assignee is assuming all of the interests, rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender or members of such Defaulting Lender Group, as applicable, shall have received payment of an amount equal to all of its Loans outstanding, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (subject to Section 12.1(c)(iv)) and all other amounts, including any Breakage Costs, payable to it and its Affected Entities hereunder and the other Transaction Documents through (but excluding) the date of such assignment from the assignee or the Borrower, and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. (vi) If the Borrower, Servicer, and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Committed Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Lenders and the Co-Agents, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Committed Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the interest of the Lenders in the Aggregate Principal to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentages, 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 or forfeited pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(iv), while such Committed Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cure by a Committed Lender under this subsection of its status as a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim or any party hereunder arising from such Committed Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. (vii) The rights and remedies of the Borrower, any Agent or the other Lenders against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 12.1(c) are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, applicable law or otherwise. (viii) Any Committed Lender that fails to timely fund a Loan shall be obligated to promptly (but in any event not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date of the related Advance) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if any such failure is the result of an administrative error or omission by such Committed Lender or force majeure, computer malfunction, interruption of communication facilities, labor difficulties or other causes, in each case to the extent beyond such Committed Lender’s reasonable control. If (i) the Administrative Agent had been notified by the Borrower or the affected Committed Lender that a Committed Lender has failed to timely fund a Loan, (ii) an Authorized Officer of the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or has written notice that such Committed Lender is the subject of an Event of Bankruptcy or has publicly announced that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations under this Agreement or (iii) the Administrative Agent had been notified by the affected Committed Lender that a Committed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has failed timely to deliver the written confirmation contemplated by clause (a)(iii) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower and the Co-Agents of such occurrence. (d) No Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Agents and each of the Lenders and without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, if applicable.
