Exiting Lenders (a) Each Person executing this Amendment under the heading “Exiting Lenders” on the signature pages hereto, in its capacity as a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (each, an “Exiting Lender”), is signing this Amendment for the purposes of amending the Existing Credit Agreement as contemplated by Section 1 and assigning its revolving commitment and/or the outstanding portion of the term A loan it holds under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Second Amendment Effective Date to one or more Lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement as described in the following sentence. Upon giving effect to this Amendment, (i) each Exiting Lender’s portion of the term A loan outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be fully assigned at par to one or more Lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement, and each Exiting Lender’s revolving commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be fully assigned to one or more Lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement, in each case so that, after giving effect to such assignments, the Lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement shall have Commitments and Applicable Percentages as set forth on Schedule 1.01(b) attached hereto, (ii) no Exiting Lender shall be a Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement, (iii) no Exiting Lender shall have any rights, obligations or duties as a lender under CHAR1\1892749v6 the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for any right, obligation or duty which by the express terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document would survive termination of the Existing Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (iv) the Loan Parties shall have no obligations or liabilities to any Exiting Lender, except for obligations or liabilities which by the express terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document would survive termination of the Existing Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document.
New Lenders Each New Lender hereby joins in, becomes a party to, and agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit Agreement, to the same extent as if such New Lender were an original signatory thereto. Each New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each New Lender represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.01 thereof, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Fourth Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and (c) from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.
Designated Lenders (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12.1.2, any Lender may from time to time elect to designate an Eligible Designee to provide all or any part of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the designation of an Eligible Designee by any Lender for purposes of this Section 12.1.2 shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the execution by the parties to each such designation of an agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the acceptance thereof by the Agent, the Eligible Designee shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit the Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by the Designating Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligations of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan was made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loan made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights a Lender making such Loan would have under this Agreement and otherwise; provided, (x) that all voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Designating Lender, (y) each Designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations of a Lender in respect of Loans made by its Designated Lender and (z) no Designated Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under Article III hereof for any amount which would exceed the amount that would have been payable by the Borrowers to the Lender from which the Designated Lender obtained any interests hereunder. No additional Notes shall be required with respect to Loans provided by a Designated Lender; provided, however, to the extent any Designated Lender shall advance funds, the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Notes in its possession as an agent for such Designated Lender to the extent of the Loan funded by such Designated Lender. Such Designating Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and communications hereunder. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Borrowers nor the Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may (1) with notice to, but without the consent of, the Borrowers or the Agent, assign all or portions of its interests in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institution consented to by the Agent providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender and (2) subject to advising any such Person that such information is to be treated as confidential in accordance with Section 9.11, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Lender.
