Each request for an Advance pursuant to Section 2.2 or delivery of a Holding Period Release Request shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, on the date of such Advance or the date of release of funds contemplated in the Holding Period Release Request, and after giving effect to such Advance or release and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the making of such Advance or release, (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article IX will be true and correct as of the date of such Advance and such release, as applicable, as though made on such date (except, that any such representations or warranties expressly stated by their terms to be made only at or as of one or more particular dates or times, shall be made only at or as of such specified dates or times and are not so automatically repeated), (b) no Default, Event of Default, Early Amortization Event, or event that would constitute an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both has occurred and is continuing or will result from the making of such Advance and such release, as applicable, and (c) after giving effect to such requested Advance and such release the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Principal Amount.
SECTION 1.5 Notes. The Borrower shall, on or after the Initial Advance Date, execute and deliver a Note to each Lender if and to the extent requested to do so by such Lender. The Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note to each new Lender that requests a Note after the Effective Date. All Notes (under and as defined in the Original Agreement) delivered by the Borrower prior to the Effective Date shall be returned to the Borrower, or its designee, on the Effective Date.
(b)The Advances and Yield on any Note shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 15.1), to the extent a Note has been requested by a Lender, be represented by such Note and/or a replacement Note therefor, payable to the order of the applicable Lender. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to its Note (or on any continuation of such grid, or at the Lender’s option, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the Lender Rate and Interest Period applicable to, the Advances evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the notation on any Note, the register maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error in accordance with the terms of Section 15.5(a).

Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 64

SECTION 1.7 Optional Increase of Commitments. To the extent that the total Commitments for all Lenders is less than $2,500,000,000 on the Effective Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (a “New Commitment Notice”), elect to request an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”) in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and up to an amount equal to the difference between $2,500,000,000 and the Commitments as of the date prior to the making of such New Commitments. Each Lender shall have 5 Business Days from receipt of such New Commitment Notice to elect to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments; provided that, in the event that the total New Commitments requested to be provided by the Lenders exceeds the maximum amount of the New Commitments requested by the Borrower, each Lender’s portion of the New Commitments shall be reduced pro rata based on the percentage that such Lender’s proposed commitments bears to the total amount of New Commitments requested by all Lenders. Each such New Commitment Notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a Payment Date that is not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such New Commitment Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Following the expiration of the Lenders exclusivity period the Borrower shall be entitled to solicit New Commitments for other Persons that are not existing Lenders that are Eligible Assignees (each, a “New Lender”). No later than 2 Business Days prior to the Increased Amount Date the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of (i) the identity of each existing Lender (each, an “Increasing Lender”) and each New Lender and (ii) the portion of such New Commitments to be allocated to such New Lenders and Increasing Lenders; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment; provided further that (x) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments and (y) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Accession Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent.
On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, the Borrower shall borrow from the New Lenders and Increasing Lenders an amount of new Advances the proceeds of which will be applied to prepay the outstanding Advances of the existing Lenders, in each case so that after giving pro forma effect to the New Commitments, such Advances and such prepayments, each Lender holds Advances on a pro rata basis based on the new amount of total Commitments.

SECTION 1.8 Conduit Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to its Eligible Conduit Lender, identified in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (together with any applicable notice information and any other reasonably detailed information required by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to perform their obligations hereunder, and an agreement by which such Conduit Lender became a party hereto), the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Advances that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1; provided that (i) no Conduit Lender shall be committed to provide any Advance or have any obligation to pay any amount in excess of amounts available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper and nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make an Advance or pay any other obligation by any Conduit Lender, and (ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance or any other obligation, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance or pay such other obligation pursuant to the terms hereof on the date such Advance is to be made or other obligations paid, without notice or demand from Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no action or inaction by any Conduit Lender will excuse any of the obligations of any Lender as provided herein, including, but not limited to, the obligations to make timely Advances, as provided in Section 2.1 and Section 2.3. The making of an Advance by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall (i) utilize the Commitment of the related Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender and (ii) constitute an Advance by such Granting Lender to the extent context may require where this Agreement references Advances made by such Lender, including for the calculation of Yield and other relevant calculations hereunder. No Conduit Lender shall have a Commitment hereunder. Each Granting Lender listed in Appendix II under the heading “Granting Lender” hereby designates each entity listed opposite such Granting Lender’s name in such Appendix II as its Conduit Lenders, each of which is, as of the date hereof, an Eligible Conduit Lender with respect to such Granting Lender.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 66

(b)Each Granting Lender shall cause each of its Conduit Lenders (whether or not such Conduit Lender elects to exercise such option), other than any Conduit Lender designated as of the Effective Date, to execute an agreement pursuant to which it becomes a party to this Agreement and makes agreements substantially similar to those made by an assignee in the form of Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding whether any Conduit Lender executes any such agreement, such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have agreed to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by acceptance of the option to be a Conduit Lender (whether or not such Conduit Lender elects to exercise such option). Each Conduit Lender hereby authorizes the applicable Granting Lender to take any and all actions with respect to this Agreement and the Advances made by such Conduit Lender as deemed necessary by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Conduit Lender hereby appoints the applicable Granting Lender the true and lawful attorney of such Conduit Lender, to act in the name of such Granting Lender but on behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Conduit Lender to collect for the account of such Conduit Lender all amounts due under this Agreement, to institute and prosecute, in the name of such Conduit Lender or otherwise, all proceedings that such Granting Lender may deem proper to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title of any kind in or to; to defend and compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings as to all such acts and things in relation thereto. As between each Conduit Lender and the applicable Granting Lender, such Granting Lender’s record of Advances between it and such Conduit Lender shall be conclusive. Each Conduit Lender acknowledges that the foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by such Conduit Lender. All payments due to any Conduit Lender hereunder or with respect to any Advances made by any Conduit Lender hereunder shall be made to the applicable Granting Lender for the account of such Conduit Lender. Unless the parties hereto are notified in accordance with the terms hereof of alternate notice information for a Conduit Lender by the applicable Granting Lender, all notices and requests delivered to a Granting Lender shall be deemed to have been delivered to each of its Conduit Lenders. To the extent any Conduit Lender has any right under any Credit Document to notify, direct, instruct, certify, provide information or provide approval in respect of any matter to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, then to the extent the applicable Granting Lender has provided any notice, direction, instruction, certification, information or approval with respect to such matter, it shall be deemed to also be notification, direction, instruction, certification, information or approval from such Conduit Lender.

Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 67

(i)the Applicable Margin; and
(ii)the rate notified by that Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its Advances from whatever source it may reasonably select (such cost to be substantiated in reasonable detail from a source reasonably selected by that Lender).
(b)In this Agreement, “Market Disruption Event” means that at or about 11:00 a.m. (New York city time) on the second Business Day before the first day of such Interest Period, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent receive notification from a Lender or Lenders whose share of the Advances exceed fifty per cent (50%) that, as a result of circumstances affecting Term SOFR generally and not due to the individual status of that Lender or Lenders, the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the market would be in excess of Term SOFR.
(c)If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requests, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall, with the prior written consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto.

SECTION 1.5 Computation of Yield. All Yield hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that Yield computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Yield shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 1.6 Payments Generally. All payments to be made by the Borrower to any Lender, any Conduit Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Credit Document shall be made without setoff, deduction (except in respect of Taxes, which are addressed in Section 6.3) or counterclaim.

Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 68

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document but subject to Section 3.8, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5 th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document but subject to Section 3.8, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.7(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and, subject to Section 3.8, without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.7.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 69

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Advances. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
SECTION 1.8 Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the selection or determination of SOFR, Term SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, the Alternate Base Rate or any reference rate in connection therewith or for any determinations, decisions or elections in connection with the foregoing.

SECTION 1.4 Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain, at any time, payment in respect of any principal of, or Yield on, any of its Advances or other Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued Yield thereon or other Obligations greater than it would have been entitled to receive as provided herein, then such Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other Obligations of the other Lenders or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by such Lenders, respectively, ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them as provided herein, provided that:
(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under any applicable Requirement of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this paragraph applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Lender is entitled under this paragraph to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(ii)The taxpayer identification number associated with the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower will report for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account.
(iii)All funds on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments as specified by the Borrower in writing to the Account Bank from time to time; provided that if the Borrower shall fail to specify such Eligible Investments in a timely manner, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, may specify such Eligible Investments. All investments of funds on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account shall mature, or may be sold or withdrawn without loss, not later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date. Income earned on funds deposited to the Liquidity Reserve Account, if any, shall be transferred by the Account Bank to the Collection Account on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date for distribution pursuant to the Flow of Funds.
(iv)The Borrower shall at all times be entitled to have one or more Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letters of Credit issued in favor of the Collateral Agent. In the event that one or more Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letters of Credit are so issued, on each Payment Date, the Collateral Agent shall, at the direction (and at the election) of the Borrower, transfer from the Liquidity Reserve Account to the Collection Account up to an amount equal to the amounts available under any such Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letters of Credit.

(d)Liquidity Reserve Draws. To the extent that Available Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on any Payment Date shall be insufficient to pay any of the amounts set forth immediately below which are due or payable on such Payment Date in accordance with the Flow of Funds (the amount by which such funds shall be so insufficient is herein referred to as an “Insufficiency”), the Borrower or, if the Borrower fails to do so, the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent), shall make a draw upon the Liquidity Reserve Account and, if amounts on deposit therein are less than the Insufficiency or if the Borrower otherwise elects to draw thereon, any Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letter of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount then available to be drawn under the Liquidity Reserve Account and each Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letter of Credit and (y) the applicable Insufficiency. If the Borrower has made such draw, it shall deposit the proceeds thereof into the Collection Account and (whether the Borrower or the Collateral Agent has made such draw) the Collateral Agent shall apply, to the extent possible, the proceeds of such draw to the amounts set forth below which shall be due or payable on such Payment Date but are not as a result of the Insufficiency being otherwise paid, in the order of priority set forth below:
(A)to the Collateral Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collateral Agent Fees and Expenses;
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 73

(B)pro rata (1) to the counterparties on any Hedge Agreements for the hedge payments due from the Borrower thereunder (other than termination payments), if any, and (2) to the Lenders on a pro rata basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of Advances funded by such Lenders, any Yield due under this Agreement in respect of outstanding Advances; and
(C)pro rata, (1) to the Lenders on a pro rata basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of Advances funded by such Lenders, in the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency on such Payment Date, and (2) to the counterparties on any Hedge Agreements for the hedge termination payments due from the Borrower thereunder (unless a default by the non-Borrower counterparty has caused the early termination).
(ii)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall promptly and, if the Collateral Agent fails to do so, the Administrative Agent may, draw upon the Liquidity Reserve Account or any Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letters of Credit in full and immediately deposit into the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to the Flow of Funds on the next Payment Date, an amount equal to the proceeds of such draw minus a holdback amount, if any, specified by the Administrative Agent. To the extent that an Insufficiency shall exist on any Payment Date after the initial holdback (if any) described above, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall draw on the remaining funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account or (after drawing all funds available in the Liquidity Reserve Account) any Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount then available to be withdrawn from the Liquidity Reserve Account plus the amount available to be drawn under any Liquidity Reserve Eligible Letter of Credit, (y) the Liquidity Reserve Maximum Amount and (z) the amount which, if treated as Available Collections and applied pursuant to the Flow of Funds on such Payment Date, would eliminate the applicable Insufficiency, and shall so apply, to the extent possible, the funds so withdrawn or drawn.
(iii)To the extent that the funds available in the Liquidity Reserve Account as of any Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (and after giving effect to all allocations under the Flow of Funds and other transactions, if any, to occur on such Payment Date) will exceed the Liquidity Reserve Maximum Amount, such excess may (at the election of the Borrower) be released and applied as part of the Available Collections on such Payment Date as set forth in the Flow of Funds.
ARTICLE VI
INCREASED COSTS, ETC.
SECTION 1.1 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Advances, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law, following which (a) the Commitment of a Lender hereunder to make SOFR Advances, and the agreement of any Lender to continue SOFR Advances as such, as applicable, shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Advances then outstanding as SOFR Advances, if any, shall accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate (i) from the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) on any earlier date as required by law.

SECTION 1.2 Increased Costs.
(a)If (i) there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender or any of its Affiliates, Conduit Lenders, assignees or participants (and any further assignees or participants thereof) or any Person providing such Lender with a liquidity or credit enhancement arrangement (each of the foregoing an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance hereunder or (ii) any reduction in any amount receivable in respect thereof or otherwise under this Agreement, and such increased cost or reduced amount receivable is due to either:
(x) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of any reserve requirements, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by an Affected Party) in or in the interpretation of any law, regulation or accounting principle after the Benchmark Date (other than in respect of Taxes and other amounts addressed by (including those expressly excluded by) Section 6.3); or
(y) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Government Entity (whether or not having the force of law),
then the Borrower shall from time to time, on the first Payment Date occurring at least five (5) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of written demand by such Affected Party, pay such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 75

(b)If any Affected Party shall have reasonably determined that (i) the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the Benchmark Date, or the initial implementation after the Benchmark Date of any such law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted but not initially implemented prior to the Benchmark Date, pursuant to or arising out of (A) the July 1988 paper of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or (B) the proposal for New Basel Capital Accord issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (including Basel III) (as revised from time to time, the “New Accord”), or (ii) the adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline after the Benchmark Date regarding capital adequacy, liquidity or the initial implementation after the Benchmark Date of any such law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted but not initially implemented prior to the Benchmark Date, and in either case affecting such Affected Party (including, but not limited to, any rule to be so adopted or so implemented with respect to recourse, residuals, liquidity commitments or direct credit substitutes, referred to hereinafter as the “New Rules”), or (iii) any change arising in the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Government Entity, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Affected Party (or any lending office of such Affected Party), or any holding company for such Affected Party which is subject to any of the capital requirements described above, with any request or directive of general application issued regarding capital adequacy, liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Government Entity, central bank or comparable agency has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or on the capital of any such holding company as a direct consequence of such Affected Party’s obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which such Affected Party or any such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s policies and the policies of such holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time such Affected Party may request the Borrower to pay to such Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or any such holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party (whether directly or through a participation) with respect to amounts similar to those described in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by it. The Borrower acknowledges to each Lender that such Lender is providing no assurance that the committed liquidity support provided with respect to this Agreement will be assigned a zero percent credit-conversion factor under risk-based capital guidelines adopted by applicable bank regulatory authorities in response to the framework therefor announced in July 1988 by the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices or in response to the New Accord or under the New Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be payable under this subsection (c) except to the extent the affected bank or other financial institution providing the aforementioned support is a party to this Agreement as a Lender and is accordingly subject to the same provisions and restrictions applicable herein to a Lender party hereto (including without limitation, the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.5 and 6.6 with respect to any claims made under this subsection (c)).
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 76

(d)Any failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to such clauses of this Section 6.2 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the event or events giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if such event or events have a retroactive effect, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 1.3 Taxes.
(a)All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement (including, for purposes of this Section 6.3, the Notes) shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Taxes now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Government Entity, excluding income, gross receipts, franchise, net worth, doing business and similar Taxes imposed on, respectively, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Conduit Lender as a result of a present or former connection between, respectively, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Conduit Lender and the jurisdiction of the Government Entity imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the respective Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or Conduit Lender hereunder, respectively (each a “Section 6.3 Indemnitee”), the amounts so payable to such Section 6.3 Indemnitee shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such respective Section 6.3 Indemnitee (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in or pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Section 6.3 Indemnitee to the extent imposed as a result of the failure of any such Section 6.3 Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.3 or as a result of such Lender or Conduit Lender failing to be a Qualifying Lender; provided further that the immediately preceding proviso shall not apply, and the Borrower’s obligations to make increased payments to any Section 6.3 Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) shall continue to apply, to the extent that any such noncompliance or the failure to be a Qualifying Lender is attributable to a change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof, or the introduction of any law or regulation, in either case that occurs after the Benchmark Date. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the applicable Section 6.3 Indemnitee, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Person) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Section 6.3 Indemnitee the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Section 6.3 Indemnitee for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties (and related costs) that may become payable by the applicable Section 6.3 Indemnitee as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 77

(b) Each Section 6.3 Indemnitee shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower, or to the Administrative Agent in the case of any Lender or any Conduit Lender (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a Lender, Conduit Lender, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower and the Administrative Agent), but only if such Person is legally entitled to do so, any form or information prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by any applicable Requirement of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Lender and each Conduit Lender further represents that it is a Qualifying Lender as of the Benchmark Date or other date as of which it becomes a Lender or Conduit Lender hereunder, and agrees to advise the Borrower reasonably promptly following its becoming aware that it is no longer a Qualifying Lender.
(ii)In the event, after taking into account any “grandfathering dates” under FATCA, the Borrower reasonably determines in good faith that any payment to be made under this Agreement is a “withholdable payment” under FATCA, the Borrower shall promptly provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and each affected Lender or Conduit Lender and, subject to paragraph (iv) below, each such Lender or Conduit Lender shall, within 20 Business Days of the receipt of such written notice:
(A) confirm to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or a FATCA Non-Exempt Party; and
(B) supply to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such form or forms and any other documentation and other information prescribed by applicable law (including information required under FATCA or other official guidance, including any intergovernmental agreements) relating to its status under FATCA to the extent available as the Borrower reasonably requests for the purpose of determining such Lender’s or Conduit Lender’s compliance with FATCA’s documentation and reporting requirements and whether any payment to the Lender or Conduit Lender may be subject to any FATCA Deduction.
(iii)If a Lender or Conduit Lender had previously confirmed to the Borrower that it is a FATCA Exempt Party under clause (ii) above and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, such Lender or Conduit Lender shall so notify the Borrower reasonably promptly.
(iv)Nothing in this Section 6.3(b) shall oblige a Lender or Conduit Lender to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of such Lender or Conduit Lender, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations).
(v)In the event that clause (ii) above is applicable, if a Lender or Conduit Lender fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with Section 6.3(b)(ii), then such Lender or Conduit Lender shall be treated as if it were a FATCA Non-Exempt Party until such time as such Lender or Conduit Lender provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(b)(ii) to establish the relevant facts.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 78

(vi)In the case of any payment made under this Agreement which is a “withholdable payment” under FATCA, the Borrower in making such payment to a FATCA Non-Exempt Party shall make such FATCA Deduction and shall render payment to the IRS within the time allowed and in the amount required by FATCA.
(vii)If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Borrower to a FATCA Non-Exempt Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be reduced by the amount of the FATCA Deduction.
(viii)Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.3 to the contrary, neither the Borrower nor any other party shall be required to make any additional payment pursuant to Section 6.3(a) of this Agreement, or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for such FATCA Deduction but otherwise such FATCA Deduction shall constitute a Tax and Section 6.3 of this Agreement shall continue to apply.
(ix)Within 30 days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender or Conduit Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Conduit Lender that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the IRS or other applicable Government Entity.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Person that is an assignee pursuant to Article XV shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 6.3.
(c)The Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, sales, documentary, filing, registration, excise or property Taxes or any other Taxes, fees, charges or other levies payable, or determined to be payable, in connection with the execution, delivery, filing recording or registration of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents and agrees to indemnify any Section 6.3 Indemnitee against any liabilities (including related costs) with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or the omission to pay such Taxes.
(d)The Borrower shall indemnify any Section 6.3 Indemnitee, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by any such Section 6.3 Indemnitee, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including costs of contesting such Non-Excluded Taxes) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any Lender or Conduit Lender (or Granting Lender with respect thereto) (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), by the Collateral Agent or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for any Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure by Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA or the failure by Borrower to make any FATCA Deduction as contemplated in this Agreement.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 79

(e)If any Section 6.3 Indemnitee receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3, such Section 6.3 Indemnitee shall pay over such refund (net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Section 6.3 Indemnitee and without interest, other than any interest paid to it with respect to such refund) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of the amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 6.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, plus any interest received with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of any such Section 6.3 Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed) to the Section 6.3 Indemnitee in the event such Section 6.3 Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to any Government Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3(e), in no event shall any Section 6.3 Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) to the extent such payment would place such Section 6.3 Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Section 6.3 Indemnitee would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This subsection (e) shall not be construed to require any Section 6.3 Indemnitee to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(f)Each Section 6.3 Indemnitee agrees to take such actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request and as are consistent with applicable requirements of law to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Taxes and to otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 6.3; provided that in each case, any cost resulting from such action or cooperation (including attorney’s fees) shall be borne by the Borrower and the Section 6.3 Indemnitee shall not be required to take any action that it determines in its reasonable judgment would result in any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial positions.
(g)Each Lender and each Conduit Lender further agrees that upon written request from the Borrower, each such Lender or Conduit Lender shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to enable the Borrower to comply with the provision of sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the TCA (and any regulations made thereunder). The Borrower shall keep any information provided by a Lender or Conduit Lender to it solely pursuant to this clause (g) (excluding information that is publicly available or disclosed to the recipient on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than such Lender or Conduit Lender) confidential and shall not disclose such information other than to such directors, officers, employees and other individuals representing the Borrower, the Service Providers and their respective legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisors, in each case to the extent disclosure to such individual is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the preparation and completion of applicable forms, filings, payments or similar, or communications with applicable tax authorities and advisors regarding the foregoing, or other compliance with any applicable Requirement of Law, subpoena or similar legal process; provided that such information may be disclosed to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the recipient of such information, or to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 80

SECTION 1.4 Indemnity Regarding Breakage Costs. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and Conduit Lender and to hold each Lender or Conduit Lender harmless from any loss (other than loss of Applicable Margin) or reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default or rescission, as applicable, by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any Advance hereunder on the date requested after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment on the date requested after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Advances on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Advances provided for herein (minus the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by such Lender or Conduit Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 1.5 Notice of Amounts Payable. In the event that any Lender or Conduit Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3(a), then it shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or result in any liability of or on the part of such Lender or Conduit Lender. The amounts set forth in such notice shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
SECTION 1.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement.
(a)If any Lender or Conduit Lender or any of their Affiliates requests compensation under Section 6.2, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Lender or Conduit Lender, any of their Affiliates or any Government Entity for the account of such Lender or Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 6.3, then the applicable Lender or Granting Lender (an “Affected 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 Affected Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Lender (other than in a de minimus manner). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Affected Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 81

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default or Early Amortization Event hereunder, the Borrower shall have the right to replace an Affected Lender which has not completed one of the mitigating actions described in subsection (a) of this Section 6.6 resulting in the elimination of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.2 or 6.3 within 60 days of becoming an Affected Lender hereunder (each such Affected Lender being so replaced, a “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other lending institutions (which may, but need not be, existing Lenders hereunder) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (any, a “Replacement Lender”) that have agreed to purchase the outstanding Advances held by and (as applicable) Commitments maintained by such Affected Lender, pursuant to Article XV and one or more Assignment and Assumptions; provided that:
(i)each such assignment shall be arranged by the Borrower in coordination with the Administrative Agent; and
(ii)no Replaced Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment pursuant to this subsection (b) unless and until such Replaced Lender shall have received one or more payments from the Replacement Lender in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Replaced Lender, and from the Borrower an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon (including, in any event, any breakage indemnities of the type described in Section 6.4) to the date of such payment and all other amounts payable to such Replaced Lender under this Agreement, including without limitation all amounts which, by virtue of its making claims against the Borrower therefor, caused the Lender to become an Affected Lender hereunder.
Upon the effectiveness of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and (except with respect to any indemnities or other amounts payable under this Agreement with respect to events or circumstances arising prior to the replacement of such Replaced Lender, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender) the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder.

Upon conversion and receipt of Dollars, the Collateral Agent shall cause such amounts to be deposited from the Irish VAT Refund Account to the Collection Account as soon as administratively practicable. The cost and expense of any such conversion shall be added to and reflected in the rate obtained for conversion and in no event shall the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective affiliates be liable in respect of the exchange rate obtained for any such conversion or any related cost or expense.
All amounts held in the Irish VAT Refund Account from time to time shall remain uninvested pending conversion to Dollars and transfer to the Collection Account.
The Service Provider Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the expected payment of any such refund and the anticipated amount thereof.
(l)AerCap Sub Notes Advance. If on any Advance Date there are Lenders who do not make available their ratable share of the Advance to be made on such Advance Date and no other Lenders (or the Administrative Agent) have made available such shortfall in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement, then the holders of the AerCap Sub Notes, ratably, may advance any such shortfall to the Borrower on such Advance Date so that the Borrower has sufficient funds available to purchase the subject Aircraft Asset or Aircraft Owning Entity on such Advance Date and to satisfy its obligations under the AerCap-Borrower Purchase Agreement. In the event that the holders of the AerCap Sub Notes elect to advance the Borrower such shortfall, then any amounts recovered from the failing Lenders shall be paid directly to the holders of the AerCap Sub Notes, ratably, and such funds shall not constitute Collections to be applied under Section 8.1(e).

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Service Provider shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b)If any successor Service Provider appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be legally unable to act as a Service Provider and the Administrative Agent shall not have, at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, appointed a successor Service Provider that is legally able and willing to act as Service Provider, such successor Service Provider may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Service Provider as its successor.

(b)Excess Proceeds. Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Borrower Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.3 in excess of the Obligations will be returned to the Borrower, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(c)AerCap Sub Note Buyout. Prior to any sale or liquidation or other exercise of remedies against or in respect of the Borrower Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.3, the holder(s) of any AerCap Sub Note(s) may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Advances, at a purchase price equal to the unpaid principal balance of such Advances, plus accrued interest thereon, together with any fees, indemnity amounts or other amounts owed the Lenders hereunder (and not including any amount in respect of expected but lost future benefit or profit). Such right shall be exercised by such holder(s) giving the Administrative Agent written notice of the intent to purchase such Advances within twenty (20) Business Days of the date that the Facility Termination Date has occurred or been declared, and the date on which such purchase is to be consummated, which shall be not more than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such written notice. None of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may sell, liquidate or otherwise exercise remedies against or in respect of the Borrower Collateral prior to the end of such twenty and (if applicable) ten Business Day period.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such purchase option notice that is timely given, to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. On the date specified in the purchase option notice, the Lenders shall transfer, by an instrument of assignment suitable for such purpose, all of their right, title and interest in and to such Advances and any related Note, upon the tender to them of the purchase price specified above. If the applicable holder(s) of the AerCap Sub Note(s) fail to consummate the purchase of such Advances after giving a notice of intent, or fails to timely give a notice of intent, such holder(s) shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the right to purchase such Advances.

(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it (or a Payment Recipient on its behalf) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 149

(ii)such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 14.15(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 14.15(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 14.15(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made

Upon the assignment by any Granting Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, its Conduit Lender shall no longer (without any further action) have any rights hereunder arising after the time of such assignment relating to such assigned rights.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender shall have the right, at any time, to (and if so directed by its Granting Lender, shall) assign its rights hereunder to (x) any other Person who meets the requirements of a Conduit Lender, (y) to its Granting Lender or (z) to any Support Party therefore, in each case with consent of its Granting Lender and with prompt notice (but no later than the next Business Day) to the Borrower (which notice shall include any applicable notice information and any other reasonably detailed information required by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to perform their obligations hereunder), but without the consent of the Borrower.

SECTION 1.25 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Lender that fails to make an Advance when required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 170

The parties hereto (in the case of the Collateral Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, which the Administrative Agent shall provide) shall cooperate at the cost of the Borrower with any actions or documentation releasing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in such Specified Aircraft, such Equity Interest, and the related Lease (and other related Collateral) to the extent reasonably requested by a Borrower Group Member or Service Provider in connection with such sale, transfer or other disposition.
(c)Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts (“Specified Aircraft Proceeds”) received and whether or not on deposit in an account maintained with the Account Bank in connection with, derived from or otherwise relating to a Specified Aircraft (including, without limitation, all Lease payments, indemnity payments, drawings under letters of credit, guarantees and other collateral security relating to a Lease, payments relating to a Lease restructuring, claim recoveries, sale proceeds, insurance proceeds, and amounts maintained in the Maintenance Reserve Account and the Security Deposit Account, in each case attributable to such Aircraft), shall be paid and applied to or at the direction of the Borrower (including to cure a Maintenance Reserves Deficiency or to make payments of interest, principal and premium, if any, on one or more AerCap Sub Notes and of accrued interest on the AerCap Liquidity Facility), provided that the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to retain all or a portion of such funds in the Collection Account; provided further that the Borrower shall direct any indemnity payment or insurance proceeds received by a Borrower Group Member and on deposit in an account maintained with the Account Bank but payable to an indemnified or insured person other than a Borrower Group Member be paid to such other person.
(d)No Specified Aircraft Proceeds (whether or not retained in the Collection Account) shall constitute Collections or Available Collections unless the Borrower shall so elect.
(e)The Borrower may, and the parties hereto shall cooperate with any reasonable request by the Borrower to, establish one or more separate accounts of an applicable Borrower Group Member with a bank (other than the Account Bank) in which only Specified Aircraft Proceeds may be deposited (which may include a confirmation of consent to a Lessee as to changed payments instructions), which shall not be required to be subject to a security interest of the Collateral Agent, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Account Bank shall have any obligation or liability in connection with such accounts or the funds on deposit therein.
Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 171

(f)To the extent a Borrower Group Member is required to make payments of costs or expenses attributable to a Specified Aircraft (including fees and expenses of the Servicer and other applicable advisors and service providers), such costs or expenses shall be paid solely out of Specified Aircraft Proceeds, amounts in the accounts referred to in clause (e) above (if any), amounts the Borrower received pursuant to the Flow of Funds, Servicer Advances or advances under an AerCap Sub Note.
(g)Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Account Bank shall have any responsibility for, or liability in connection with, identifying, monitoring, segregating or maintaining the portion of the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or other accounts maintained with the Account Bank that constitute Specified Aircraft Proceeds. Any instruction of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank pursuant to Section 17.26(c), (d) or (f) shall specifically state that it is being delivered pursuant to Section 17.26(c), (d) or (f), as the case may be, and, by delivery thereof, the Borrower shall be deemed to have confirmed that such instruction has been given in compliance with the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent and the Account Bank shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such deemed confirmation and the instruction received by it without independent inquiry, investigation or consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Person.
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prejudice the obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.2(b)(i) with respect to the conversion of an Aircraft to a Specified Aircraft.
