Substitution of Bank If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03, the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Agent, to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the Note and assume the Commitment of such Bank.
Substitution of Lender If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Libor Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Agreement when not all Lenders’ obligations to do so have been suspended, (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Sections 2.9 or 2.10 of this Agreement, in each case when all Lenders have not done so, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (d) any payment of Taxes by the Borrower is required under Section 2.11 hereof, or (e) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “all of the Lenders” or of a particular Lender, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of any other necessary Lender is not obtained, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default then exists, to replace such Lender (a “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19, each Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitments and outstanding Loans and other obligations of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) the amount of all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and expenses, if applicable, owing to the Replaced Lender hereunder and (C) the amount which would be payable by the Borrower to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(ii) of this Agreement, if any, if the Borrower prepaid at the time of such replacement all of the Loans of such Replaced Lender outstanding at such time and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full by the Borrower to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a Replaced Lender with respect to any Loans made or any other actions taken by such Replaced Lender while it was a Lender. Nothing herein shall release any Defaulting Lender from any obligation it may have to the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any other Lender.
Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the eurodollar interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.
Return of Bank Property If and when Executive ceases, for any reason, to be employed by the Company, Executive must return to the Company all keys, pass cards, identification cards and any other property of the Company. At the same time, Executive also must return to the Company all originals and copies (whether in memoranda, designs, devices, diskettes, tapes, manuals, and specifications) which constitute proprietary information or material of the Company and its subsidiaries. The obligations in this paragraph include the return of documents and other materials which may be in his desk at work, in his car, in place of residence, or in any other location under his control.
Replacement of Banks If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 13.3, (ii) the obligation of any Bank to make SOFR Loans or continue Loans as SOFR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 13.4, (iii) Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 13.5 and, in each case, such Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 13.7(a), or (iv) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.8), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 13.3 or Section 13.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Papers to an eligible assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 14.8;
(ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Papers (including any amounts under Section 3.3) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the suspension of an obligation to make SOFR Loans or continue Loans as SOFR Loans under Section 13.4, such assignment will result in a resumption of such obligation in whole or in part;
(v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and
(vi) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank becoming a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Bank is a Secured Hedge Provider with any outstanding Hedge Transaction with any Credit Party (to the extent obligations under such Hedge Transactions constitute Obligations), unless on or prior thereto, all such Hedge Transactions have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Bank (or its Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation. If any Bank refuses, pursuant to the previous sentence, to make any such assignment and delegation, such Bank shall give all reasonable cooperation to Borrower to effect such termination or novation of such Hedge Transactions.
New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer (a) The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.
Substitution of Lenders In the event (a) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 10.3 or 12.1 hereof, (b) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Person who has been deemed insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for any such Person, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested to be consented to by all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 12.11 hereof at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 1.11 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned) other than such principal owing to it hereunder, (iii) the assignment is entered into in accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 12.10 hereof (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrower) and (iv) the assignee shall have consented to the proposed amendment or waivers not consented to by the Affected Lender.
Replacement of Lender If (a) any Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to pay any Indemnified Taxes or make any additional payment to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, (b) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Alternate Base Rate Advances into, Term SOFR Advances or to make Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (d) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (any Lender so affected, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower Representative may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension or status as a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances at par and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.2 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrowers and/or the assignee shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.
