Replacement of Holdout Lender (a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.
(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.
Replacement Provider In the event the Agreement (or any portion thereof) is terminated in accordance with this Article II, the Sellers shall be responsible for engaging one or more qualified replacement providers of the Services of the Serviced Appointments that are subject to such termination (each, a “Replacement Provider”), which may be any Seller, any other member of the Seller Group or any third party acceptable to the Sellers. Upon request by the Sellers, the Purchasers shall provide the Sellers with reasonable assistance in marketing the Services subject to such termination to potential third party Replacement Providers, including by providing any information reasonably requested by the Sellers; provided, that any potential third party Replacement Provider shall have executed a customary confidentiality agreement before any confidential information of the Purchasers is disclosed by the Sellers to such potential third party Replacement Provider.

Replacement of Notes Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
Replacement Lenders The Parent at its own cost and expense may designate an Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent (and acceptable to each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender and the Swingline Lender), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (a “Replacement Lender”) to assume all or any part of the Commitments and the obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, and to purchase the Accommodations Outstanding of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, and within ten (10) Business Days of such designation the Defaulting Lender shall (x) sell to such Replacement Lender, without recourse upon, warranty by or expense to such Defaulting Lender, by way of an Assignment and Assumption for a purchase price equal to (unless such Defaulting Lender agrees to a lesser amount in writing) the outstanding principal amount of the Accommodations made by such Defaulting Lender, plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (y) assign to such Replacement Lender the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. In the event any Defaulting Lender fails to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section, the Agent may, but only after such Defaulting Lender has been paid in full what it is entitled to be paid under this Section, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Defaulting Lender, execute such agreement on behalf of the Defaulting Lender, and each Lender hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall be coupled with an interest) for such purpose. Upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lender and subject to acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Assumption by the Agent pursuant to Section 18.01(3) hereof, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments). Additionally, in the event a Defaulting Lender has been a Defaulting Lender for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Borrowers, at their own cost and expense, may repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents (except for the Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Obligations) owed to such Defaulting Lender and terminate in full all of the Commitment held by such Defaulting Lender, and upon such repayment and termination such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments).
Replacement of a Lender In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Supplemental Agreements Without Consent of Holders Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the Agent, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Agent, for any of the following purposes:
(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Certificates; or
(2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or
(3) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Agent; or
(4) to make provision with respect to the rights of Holders pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.6(b); or
(5) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to such matters or questions arising under this Agreement, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders.
Replacement of the L/C Issuer The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(m). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous L/C Issuer, or such successor and all previous L/C Issuer, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Replacement of Servicer (a) If a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes (other than Class XS Notes) are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders) shall, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in (i) the Backup Servicer; or (ii) if the Backup Servicer has been terminated, such Successor Servicer as may be approved under clause (b) below.
(b) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to clause (a) above or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, only until the Backup Servicer (or another Successor Servicer) has assumed the obligations of the predecessor Servicer in the time period set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall give the Backup Servicer written notice of the Servicer’s termination or resignation. In the event of termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement) by the Appointment Effective Date set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. In the event the Backup Servicer does not assume the role of Successor Servicer, the Requisite Noteholders (or if the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) have been paid in full, the Issuing Entity acting at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders) shall appoint another Person as Successor Servicer, who shall assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder (except to the extent otherwise set forth herein or within any agreement with such Successor Servicer) on the assumption date specified in such written notice (the “Assumption Date”) pursuant to this Agreement. The amount of the Servicing Fee payable to (1) the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer shall be the Successor Servicing Fee Rate (Backup Servicer) and (2) any Successor Servicer (excluding the Backup Servicer) shall be any rate pursuant to this Agreement in an amount acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders and shall not exceed the Servicing Strip Amount unless otherwise agreed to by the Requisite Noteholders; provided that, in no event shall the amount of the Servicing Fee payable to the predecessor Servicer be less than the pro rata share of the Servicing Fee due to such predecessor Servicer based on the number of days such predecessor Servicer served as Servicer in the related Collection Period. The Backup Servicer shall act as Successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the predecessor Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders has been appointed and accepted such appointment. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed and the Backup Servicer is legally unable to act at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 5.1, then the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Requisite Noteholders shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement at the expense of the Issuing Entity and paid in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Indenture. If requested by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, to the extent not inconsistent with the Master Agency Agreement, the Servicer will terminate, or cause to be terminated, any arrangements relating to (A) the Depository Accounts; or (B) the Post-Office Boxes, and give notices thereunder or take other actions with respect thereto, and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to or at the direction of the Successor Servicer at the predecessor Servicer’s expense (in which event the Successor Servicer shall process such payments directly, through a lock-box account with a lock-box bank or through a third-party payment processing system, in each case, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders).
(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a Successor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files and Servicer Files to the Successor Servicer and all other reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the transfer to the Successor Servicer related to the performance by the Servicer hereunder will be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or, if not so paid by the predecessor Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 2.7(c) or 2.7(e) of the Indenture, as applicable) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The Successor Servicer, if the Backup Servicer, shall be entitled to payment for reasonable transaction expenses incurred in connection with acting as Successor Servicer in accordance with the priorities and limits set forth in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(e) of the Indenture, as applicable. The Servicer shall grant the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer reasonable access to the Servicer’s premises at the predecessor Servicer’s expense as contemplated by, and subject the restrictions set forth in, Section 7.15.
(d) Upon the Appointment Effective Date or the Assumption Date, as applicable, the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 4.2(c). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered (but not obligated) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Without limiting any of the foregoing, under no circumstance shall Vervent Inc. (as Successor Servicer or otherwise) or any other Successor Servicer be deemed to have incurred any obligation to make any advance or provide indemnification for Actual Loss Amounts with respect to any Receivables or any liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the Initial Servicer.
(e) The Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes (other than Class XS Notes) are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders) may waive any Servicing Termination Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicing Termination Event shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred and any Servicing Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicing Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereto.
