(h) any failure by the Issuing Lender to make payment under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Requirement of Law, control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised or imposed by any Governmental Authority.

(b) If the Issuing Lender determines that the adoption after the date hereof of any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuing Lender (or any lending office of the Issuing Lender) or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Lender or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or other Change in Law (taking into consideration the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably determined by the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender for such reduction will be paid by the Account Party to the Issuing Lender upon demand.

(c) A certificate of the Issuing Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Account Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Failure on the part of the Issuing Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the Issuing Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.8 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless the Issuing Lender shall have notified the Account Party in writing that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above and such notice shall have been provided not more than 90 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such costs or reductions.

SECTION 3.10. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Account Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, that, if any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) shall be required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Account Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Issuing Lender or other recipient of such payment, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Account Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Account Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Account Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Account Party by the Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Account Party to a Governmental Authority, the Account Party shall deliver to the Issuing Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender.

Solely for purposes of this Section 3.10(g), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof.

RECITALS

(1) Grantor is the customer of the Account Bank with respect to one or more demand deposit accounts identified by the account numbers specified on Schedule 1 hereto (individually and collectively, as may be re-numbered from time to time, and including any funds in or standing to the credit of such account or accounts, each an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”).

SECTION 2. The Accounts. The Account Bank confirms that:

(a) The Account Bank maintains each Account for the Grantor.

(b) Each Account is a deposit account (as such term is defined in Section 9-102(29) of the UCC). The Account Bank is the bank with which each Account is maintained, and is a “bank” (as such term is defined in Section 9-102(8) of the UCC). Each Grantor is the Account Bank’s sole customer with respect to the Account or Accounts listed on Schedule 1 hereto. The “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the Account Bank in respect of the Accounts is the State of New York.

(c) The Account Bank has not entered into any other agreement with the Grantor purporting to limit or condition its obligation to comply with any instructions as agreed in Section 3 and 4.

(b) If the Account Bank receives from the Secured Party a Notice of Exclusive Control with respect to any Account and the Outside Time has occurred, until such Notice of Exclusive Control has been withdrawn by the Secured Party in accordance with Section 4(d), the Account Bank will comply only with Account Directions originated by the Secured Party without further consent by the Grantor and shall cease:

(i) complying with Account Directions or other directions concerning such Account originated at any time by the Grantor (including where ceasing to comply with such Account Directions or other directions may result in the dishonoring by the Account Bank of items presented for payment from any of the Accounts), and

(ii) distributing to the Grantor interest or other amounts standing to the credit of such Account.

(c) With the prior written consent of the Account Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and upon three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice, the Secured Party shall have the right to withdraw its Notice of Exclusive Control.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Grantor and Secured Party agree that the Secured Party shall deliver to the Account Bank, on the date hereof, a Notice of Exclusive Control dated as of the date hereof.

SECTION 5. Priority of Secured Party’s Security Interest.

(b) The Account Bank shall not enter into any other agreement with any Person relating to Account Directions or other directions with respect to any Account.

SECTION 6. Statements, Confirmations, and Notices of Adverse Claims. The Account Bank shall send copies of all statements and confirmations for each Account simultaneously to the Secured Party and the Grantor.

SECTION 7. Exculpation of the Account Bank. (a) The Account Bank will not be liable to the Secured Party for complying with Account Directions or other directions concerning any Account from the Grantor that are received prior to the Outside Time.

(b) The Account Bank shall not be liable to the Grantor or the Secured Party for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or with an Account Direction or other direction concerning any Account originated by the Secured Party, even if the Grantor notifies the Account Bank that the Secured Party is not legally entitled to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control or Account Direction or such other direction unless the Account Bank takes the action after it is served with an Order or Process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and after it had a reasonable opportunity to act on the Order or Process.

(c) The Account Bank shall not be liable to the Grantor or the Secured Party for failing to follow any Account Directions:

(i) which would result in the Account Bank’s failing to comply with any applicable laws, statutes, rules or regulations, or an Order or Process, binding upon the Account Bank;

(ii) which requires the disposition of funds that are not immediately available in the relevant Account; or

(iii) for which the Account Bank has not received evidence reasonably required by the Account Bank as to the authority of the Person giving the Account Direction to act for the Secured Party or the Grantor, as applicable.

(d) The Account Bank shall not be liable to the Grantor or the Secured Party for:

(i) complying with any Account Directions from the Grantor, or otherwise completing a transaction involving the Account, that the Account Bank or an Affiliate had started to process before the Outside Time;

(ii) after the Account Bank becomes aware that the Secured Party has sent the Notice of Exclusive Control, but before the Outside Time, complying with the Notice of Exclusive Control or an Account Direction originated by the Secured Party, notwithstanding any fact or circumstance and even if the Notice of Exclusive Control, (A) has not been actually received at the address specified in Exhibit B hereto, (B) fails to have attached to such Notice of Exclusive Control a copy of this Agreement as fully executed, or (C) is not completed or otherwise fails to be in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto;

(iii) wrongful dishonor of any item as a result of the Account Bank following the Notice of Exclusive Control or an Account Direction originated by the Secured Party,

(c) The Grantor and the Secured Party shall promptly reimburse the Account Bank upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any Claim against which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified and held harmless pursuant to Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above.

SECTION 9. Termination; Survival. (a) This Agreement may be terminated (i) by the Secured Party, at any time by notice to the other Parties; and (ii) by the Account Bank, (A) upon notice to the other Parties, if the Account Bank becomes obligated to terminate this Agreement or to close the Deposit Account under any applicable laws binding upon the Account Bank, (B) upon five (5) Business Days’ advance notice to the other Parties if any other Party is in material breach of any of the Security Agreement or this Agreement, and (C) otherwise upon thirty (30) days’ advance notice to the other Parties.

Any obligation of the Account Bank to remit any funds to or at the direction of the Secured Party under this subsection is subject to Section 7(c)(i).

(c) If the Secured Party notifies the Account Bank that the Security Interest has terminated, this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

(d) Sections 7 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). The state of New York shall be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of the UCC. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive any claim that any such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(b) This Agreement is the entire agreement, and supersedes any prior agreements, and contemporaneous oral agreements, of the Parties concerning its subject matter.
