For the avoidance of doubt, Lender, to the extent Lender has been named and appointed as Beneficiary under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit, is fully authorized to make such demand for payment under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit.

(d)Lender shall have received satisfactory documentation to evidence that Parent Guarantor has submitted an irrevocable request that Lender be named as, and replace Parent Guarantor as, the Beneficiary under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit;

Any failure by Borrower and/or Parent Guarantor to satisfy the foregoing requirements with respect to the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit within the time period provided will constitute an immediate Default under the Credit Agreement without the benefit of any grace periods; provided, however, that if after undertaking best efforts to name Lender as the Beneficiary under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit, Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment that it will not be able, due to lack of third party cooperation or such other reason out of its control, to have Lender named as the Beneficiary under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit and then delivers a written notice to Lender confirming same, then from and after the time of delivery of such notice, no Default shall have occurred with regard to Borrower’s failure to have Lender named as Beneficiary under the Fraunhofer Letter of Credit.

V.Defined Terms. Terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, shall have the same meanings herein, unless the context otherwise requires.
