Section 2.10. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due in Jamaican Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, with
12
payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 8.06(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, unless otherwise provided herein such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at an interest rate reflecting the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds in respect of such payment.
(e) The Borrower’s obligation to pay all amounts due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including:
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, abatement, suspension, diminution, reduction, defense or other right which the Borrower may have against any supplier, whether such supplier was paid from the proceeds of Advances or otherwise, for any reason whatsoever arising under or pursuant to any supply agreement or otherwise relating to the purchase of goods, other property or services from or by any such supplier;
13
(ii) any defect in the condition, design, operation, or fitness for use of, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, any equipment or material provided by any such supplier;
(iii) any actual or alleged default by any such supplier or any other Person under any supply agreement; or
(iv) any other fact or circumstance relating to any supply agreement.
Section 2.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to make Advances or to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Advances shall be suspended. If any Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain or fund Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of all Advances of such Lender together with accrued interest thereon. If it is lawful for any Lender to maintain any Advance through the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Advance, such prepayment shall be due on the last day of such Interest Period.
Section 2.12. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation made after the date hereof (including, without limitation, Xxxx-Xxxxx and Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) made after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.12, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
14
(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (including, without limitation, Xxxx-Xxxxx and Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a result of or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States of America and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any Note being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the
15
full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment and making reference to this Agreement. In the case of any payment hereunder, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall, if the Administrative Agent believes there is a question as to the applicability of any Taxes in the case of any payment hereunder and makes a request for such opinion, furnish or cause the payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender an opinion from an Approved Accounting Firm stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, all fees, costs and expenses shall be paid with GCT or other value added tax or impost where necessary pursuant to any Requirement of Law.
Section 2.14. Change in Increased Costs and Taxes Upon an Assignment or Change in Lending Office. (a) If, upon an effective assignment by a Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.14(a), the “Assigning Lender”) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a new lender (for purposes of this Section 2.14(a), the “New Lender”) pursuant to Section 8.07, the Borrower would be required to pay amounts under Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 to the New Lender that are greater than the respective amounts it would have been required to pay to the Assigning Lender in respect of the rights and obligations so assigned had such assignment not occurred, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such New Lender amounts under each of Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 not greater than those that the Borrower would otherwise have paid to the Assigning Lender thereunder in respect of the rights and obligations so assigned had such assignment not occurred; provided that if any circumstances that were not occurring on the date of such assignment arise thereafter and would require the Borrower to make payments to the New Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, the Borrower shall make all such payments in full to the New Lender pursuant to the provisions thereof.
(b) If, upon a change in the Lending Office of a Lender, the Borrower would be required to pay amounts under Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 to such Lender that are greater than the respective amounts it would have been required to pay to such Lender had such change in Lending Office not occurred, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender amounts under each of Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 not greater than those that the Borrower would otherwise have paid to such Lender thereunder had such change in Lending Office not occurred; provided that if any circumstances that were not occurring on the date of such change arise thereafter and would require the Borrower to make payments to such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, the Borrower shall make all such payments in full to such Lender pursuant to the provisions thereof.
16
Section 2.15. Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than (x) amounts received pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 8.06(c) or (y) proceeds received in respect of any Risk Policy) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, in the amount of such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Section 2.16 and Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, then Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement shall control, and the Borrower agrees that any payment received by a Lender from the Borrower, directly, through set-off or otherwise, which is subsequently paid by such Lender to the Collateral Agent in accordance with such Section 3.03 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower for the pro rata benefit of the Secured Parties and not a payment to such Lender.
Section 2.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each Borrowing shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for the purpose set forth in the Common Agreement.
17
Section 2.18. Loan Modification Offers.

Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Advances of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) without the consent of any Lender that is not an Accepting Lender.
(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Advances of the Accepting Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section unless the Administrative Agent shall have received all legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s certificates and other documentation requested by it consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Article 4.
(c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the applicable Advances of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a change to one or more principal installment payment dates (including the amount due on any date); (iii) a change to the Applicable Margin with respect to the Advances of the Accepting Lenders, (iv) the payment of additional fees to the Accepting Lenders, and (v) such amendments to this Agreement as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.

The Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or other similar official for such Person or for any substantial part of such Person’s property or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any such law.
Section 7.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 7.07. Indemnification. The Lenders will indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective Advances made by such Lender outstanding on the date on which indemnification is
22
sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Advances) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of the Administrative Agent’s liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 7.07 shall survive the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 7.08. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement. With respect to the Advances made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 7.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder; provided that so long as a Default or Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, the prior consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to the appointment of such successor agent; and provided further that such consent from the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Effective upon such appointment and approval, the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and, effective upon the earlier of such appointment and the expiration of such thirty (30) days’ notice, the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, in either case without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Advances. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation in such capacity, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement.
23
Section 7.10. Removal of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Majority Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Majority Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 8.01) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Majority Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).
ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.01. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any Notes, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, and no consent may be granted by the Administrative Agent hereunder, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders; provided that during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to waive, amend, supplement or modify this Agreement or any Note unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification affects in any way the rights or duties of the Borrower; provided further that no such agreement or agreements shall: (i) increase the Commitments of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of, interest on, or currency of, the Advances or any Note delivered hereunder or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than waiving the requirement to pay the rate of interest set forth in Section 2.07(b) during the continuation of an Event of Default in connection with the waiver of such Event of Default by the Majority Lenders), (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances, any Note delivered hereunder or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than restoring the schedule for repayment of Advances to that set forth in Section 2.04(a) after issuance of a Notice of Cancellation of Enforcement or a Notice of Cancellation of Acceleration), (iv) amend the definition of “Majority Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender, (v) amend, modify or waive Section 2.10 or Article 4, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender, or (vii) amend this Section 8.01 without the written consent of each Lender; and provided further that no amendment, waiver, supplement or modification shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule I to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 8.07. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.01 to the contrary,
24
this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Accepting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18. Any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification to the Common Agreement shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement without any consent or action by any party to this Agreement, except to the extent required by the Common Agreement.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification (and the definition of “Majority Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), and such Defaulting Lender shall not be considered a lender hereunder for purposes of the Common Agreement in determining whether the Majority Common Creditors or all Common Creditors, as required, have approved any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification as provided in Section 9.1 of the Common Agreement; provided, that any such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification hereunder or under the Common Agreement that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees and acknowledges that prior to April 1, 2012 the provisions on Schedule IV hereto, and any default arising in connection therewith, and the language in this paragraph may not be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Extending Lenders, and any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification to the provisions contained on Schedule IV hereto and the language in this paragraph entered into in writing between the Borrower and the Majority Extending Lenders shall be binding and enforceable on each of the Lenders party hereto without further consent by the Lenders party hereto. For purposes of this paragraph, “Majority Extending Lenders” means Lenders (as defined in the Common Agreement) holding in the aggregate Advances (as defined in the Common Agreement) and undrawn Commitments (as defined in the Common Agreement) in excess of 50% of all Advances (as defined in the Common Agreement) and undrawn Commitments (as defined in the Common Agreement), in each case under all Facility Agreements entered into on or about February 19, 2010 and each Additional Senior Secured Financing Document entered after February 19, 2010 complying with the provisions of Section 6.2(b) of the Common Agreement and Clause 4 of Schedule IV hereto.
25

Section 8.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Section 8.04. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(c) By mutual agreement the parties hereto may agree to increase the aggregate loan amount in excess of J$1,800,000,000 and to up-stamp the applicable Security Documents or any supplement thereto to cover such increased amount.

Section 8.06. Payment of Expenses, Taxes and Costs. (a) The Borrower will (i) pay all of the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of New York and local counsel to such Persons) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, and closing of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or such amendments, modifications or waivers shall be consummated), and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, any filing fees, recording expenses or stamp or excise taxes or other similar taxes or fees in connection therewith; (ii) pay or reimburse each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender and their respective Affiliates for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of New York or local counsel), incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of any of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 8.06, or in connection with the Advances made, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof or incurred to permit the admissibility into evidence in any jurisdiction of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (including the fees and expenses of New York and local counsel) and any stamp duties that may be required to be paid in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under any Loan Document; (iii) pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (including the fees and expenses of New York and local counsel) in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents; and (iv) pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent for acting in such capacity.
(b) The Borrower shall pay, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against (i) any and all financing, recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of, any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents; and (ii) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (A) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents or the consummation of transactions contemplated hereby, (B) any Advance or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (C) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials

(c) If any payment of principal of any Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06 or 2.11, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or any Note delivered hereunder pursuant to Article 6 or for any other reason, or if any Advance to be made by a Lender is not made on the date requested by the Borrower (other than as a result of such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or non-funding, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and Obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 8.06 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, under the Notes delivered hereunder and under each other Loan Document.
Section 8.07. Successors and Assigns; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b) (i) Each Lender, with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees or, subject to Section 8.07(b)(ii) below, the Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment(s), the Advances owing to it and/or any Note(s) held by it. Except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s) or Advance(s) or (y) an assignment by a Lender to any Affiliate thereof or to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitment(s) and Advance(s) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than J$15,000,000, (except during the existence or continuation of an Event of Default, in which case no such minimum amount shall be applicable). The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and a recordation fee of US$5,000. Upon such execution,
28
delivery and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and solely to the extent that it is an Eligible Assignee and, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and/or obligations of a Lender, as the case may be, hereunder and under the Common Agreement and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 8.06 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and/or be released from its obligations, as applicable, under this Agreement and under the Common Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Common Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto).
(ii) Any assignment to the Borrower shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment; (B) the purchase price for such purchased Advances, when taken together with all fees to the seller thereof and similar consideration, shall be not more than the outstanding principal balance of such purchased Advances; (C) such assignment shall be effected through open market purchases and/or Dutch auction or similar procedures (including representations regarding the absence of material non-public information); and (D) such purchased Advances shall immediately be cancelled and be deemed to be no longer outstanding for any purposes hereof or any Loan Document. By purchasing or being assigned the Advances and by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Advances owned by it shall be non-voting under sections 1126 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that any proceeding thereunder shall be instituted by or against Holdco or any other Obligor.
(iii) No assignment will be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth in this Section 8.07, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
29
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.6 of the Common Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or such assigning Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee or, in the case of the Borrower, confirms that it is in compliance with this Section 8.07; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action, respectively, as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, as the case may be.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
30
(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note or Notes, if requested by the new Lender assignee, a new Note to the order of the new Lender assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it plus the aggregate principal amount of the Advances assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or any Advances hereunder, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender if requested by the assigning Lender, in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it plus the aggregate principal amount of the Advances retained by it. Any such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(f) A Lender may assign outstanding Advances without assigning undrawn Commitments, and may assign undrawn Commitments without assigning outstanding Advances.
(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any Related Person) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and/or the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement pursuant to which any such participation is sold may contain provisions requiring that the Lender selling such participation obtain the consent of the participant purchasing such participation before agreeing to any amendment, waiver or consent that would (x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances, any Note delivered hereunder or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, (y) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances, any Note delivered hereunder or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral. Subject to subsection (i) of this Section 8.07, each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 8.07. To the extent permitted by law, each participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.
31
(h) A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 8.08. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified in Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances and all Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note or Notes and although such Obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 8.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.
Section 8.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
32
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method (e.g. PDF) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 8.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(iii) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of any party in respect of any sum payable hereunder by it to any other party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Jamaican Dollars (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such other party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such other party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency which could have been so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such other party in the Agreement Currency, such first party agrees, as a separate obligation
33
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such other party against such loss, and, if the amount of the Agreement Currency which could have been so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such other party, such other party agrees to remit to such first party such excess; provided that neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to remit any such excess as long as the Borrower shall have failed to pay any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, any obligations due and payable under this Agreement, in which case such excess may be applied to such obligations of the Borrower hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) To the extent that any of the parties hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the waivers set forth above shall have the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such act.
(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
Section 8.13. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, to any of its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, auditors and legal counsel (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory or governmental authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws, rules or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (and in any event no less onerous than) those of this paragraph, to (A) any assignee of, insurer or re-insurer of, or participant in, or any prospective assignee of, insurer or re-insurer of, or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers,

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 8.14. Acknowledgment of Certain Agreements. The Borrower authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to pay, pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement and on behalf of the Borrower, those payments specified therein as provided therein, and if any prepayment of Advances shall be made, as a result of any actions taken pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, the Borrower agrees, for the avoidance of doubt, that the provisions of Section 2.3 of the Common Agreement shall apply in all cases to such prepayment as if such prepayment were made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower hereby agrees that distributions in respect of any Collateral and any amounts received by any Secured Party or any other Person in the exercise of any powers conferred by each of the Loan Documents, may be applied as determined by agreement among all the Secured Parties under the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, and any mortgage, charge, assignment or any other agreement or document required to be made or entered into by the Borrower in favor of any Secured Party shall be made in favor of the holders of debt issued under each Facility Agreement.
Section 8.15. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) upon execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.
Section 8.16. Election not to Receive Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, elect not to be provided with certain statements, reports or other information that such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Loan Documents. Any such written election shall contain a specific description of the statements, reports or other information such Lender elects not to receive, and any such written election is revocable at any time by such Lender (or its assignee hereunder).
Section 8.17. Accession Agreement/Amendment to Common Agreement. The Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, is authorized and hereby instructed to execute and deliver (i) an Accession Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.5 of the Common Agreement providing, inter alia, that this Agreement constitutes an Additional Senior Secured Financing Document and the
35
Advances hereunder constitute Additional Senior Secured Advances and (ii) an amendment to the Common Agreement in the form of Exhibit D, in each case on or after the Effective Date but in any event no later than the date of the Advance.
Section 8.18. Cure for Defaulting Lender. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-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 while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
