Each Group Agent shall record on the applicable RFA Note or in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by the Lenders in its Group hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 13.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 2.05. RFA Notes. All Loans made by each Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a promissory note (as amended, modified, extended or replaced from time to time, each a “RFA Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, with appropriate

obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) in connection with any such Final Payout Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice thereof to each Lock-Box Bank for the purposes of terminating the related Lock-Box Agreements and (ii) promptly following written request therefor by the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the sole expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 4.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Affected Persons.
(a) If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 4.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 4.03, then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the related Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate (or cause to be assigned and delegated) such Affected Person’s rights and obligations hereunder to another office, branch or Affiliate of such Affected Person if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
(b) If (i) any Affected Person requests compensation under
Section 4.01, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 4.03, (iii) any Affected Person has
become a Defaulting Credit Party or, (iv) any Affected Person has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that requires the consent of each Group Agent (or the Group Agent of each affected
Group) and with respect to which the Majority Group Agents shall have or would have granted their consent or (v) the Borrower has requested in writing that a Conduit Lender agree to an Interest Rate determined by reference
to the applicable Bank Rate pursuant to the proviso in clause (a) of the definition of “Interest Rate” and such Conduit Lender (in its sole discretion) has not agreed in
writing to do so by the date that is 15-days following such request; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to make such a request until October 1, 2017 (any such Affected Person identified in clause
(iv) and any such Conduit Lender identified in clause (v), a “Non-Consenting Affected Person;” provided, however, that no Conduit Lender shall be deemed to constitute a Non-Consenting
Affected Person under clause (v) until November 20, 2017), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Group Agent and the Administrative Agent, require such Group Agent to cause the
related Affected Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another
appropriate Person (which, in the case of a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee) that shall acquire such
44
interest or, in the case of a Committed Lender, assume such Committed Lender’s obligations (which assignee may, in each case, be an existing Lender); provided that (A) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld (provided that no such consent from a Non-Consenting Affected Person or
its Affiliates shall be required, and any Non-Consenting Affected Person and its Affiliates shall be excluded from any determination of the Majority Group Agents for such purpose), (B) such Affected Person,
if a Lender, shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Interest and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (C) in the case of any
such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03, such assignment is expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments for
future periods and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure of aan Affected Person to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment
and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. An Affected Person shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.
