If the Borrower shall not have appointed a successor within ten days thereafter, the Services Provider shall appoint a successor firm of independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized reputation reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders. The fees of such firm of independent certified public accountants and its successor shall be payable by the Borrower as Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the terms of this Agreement. In the event such firm requires the Collateral Agent to agree (whether in writing or otherwise) to the procedures performed by such firm, the Borrower hereby directs the Collateral Agent to so agree and directs the Collateral Agent to execute a specified user agreement, access letter or agreement of similar import requested by such accountants, which may include among other things, (i) acknowledgement that the Borrower has agreed that the procedures to be performed by such accountants are sufficient for the Borrower’s purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders and Administrative Agent) of claims against the firm and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of the firm and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of information or documents provided to it by such firm (including to the Lenders and Administrative Agent).

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute any agreement in respect of the accountants that it reasonably determines adversely affects it. For the avoidance of doubt, any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 5.34(a) shall be payable by the Borrower as Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the terms of this Agreement.
(b) On or before the date that is 120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, or the last Business Day immediately preceding such date if such date is not a Business Day, the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent an agreed-upon procedures report from a firm of independent certified public accountants appointed pursuant to clause (a) above for each Payment Date Report occurring in March and September of the prior calendar year (i) indicating that the calculations within those Payment Date Reports have been recalculated and compared to the information provided by the Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and (ii) listing the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Loans securing the Loans as of the immediately preceding Measurement Dates; provided that in the event of a conflict between such firm of independent certified public accountants and the Borrower with respect to any matter in this Section 5.34, the determination by such firm of independent public accountants shall be conclusive; provided further that, if there is any inconsistency between the calculations of the Borrower and the calculations of the firm of independent certified public accountants, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agents and the Lenders and describe such inconsistency in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Custodian, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent fails within 75 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower to execute any documentation required by the independent certified public accountants selected by the Borrower prior to the delivery of any report contemplated by this Section 5.34(b), then the Borrower shall have no obligation to furnish any report covering such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 5.34(b).
