Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods thereof) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (y) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans, which, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, shall occur at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems in its reasonable discretion to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce any amount receivable (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) by such Lender hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Lender upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for

​

such increased cost or reduction suffered.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Lender shall demand payment of any additional amounts or other compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03 unless such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrower, as determined by the applicable Lender.

​

such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Term SOFR Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Rate included therein, if any) over (B) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the market for overnight cash borrowing collateralized by United States government securities.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.04 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

​

under Section 3.08 that had the result of eliminating the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03 or the conversion of SOFR Loans to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.07, (iii) the Borrower may require the replaced Lender to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations and the applicable Eligible Assignee shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) in the case of clauses (a) and (c), the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 3.04 if any Term SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07 (provided that (x) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein and (y) the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment may be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure), (vii) in the case of clause (a), until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03, as the case may be, (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (ix) in the case of clause (e), the prospective Qualified Owner shall be acceptable to the replacement Lender.

​

​

​

​

​

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and as to Pledgor (where specified)) that:

​

Person or its property is subject or (c) violate any Law; in each case (other than with respect to any conflict, breach or contravention or payment (but not creation of Liens) referred to in clause (a) or clause (b)(ii)) except to the extent that such violation, conflict, breach, contravention or payment would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

​

​

​

failure to own, license or possess or such conflicts, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

​

Sanctioned Country, in any case in violation of applicable Sanctions. The Borrower has not been the subject of an enforcement action or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, investigation brought by a relevant Governmental Authority regarding a potential violation by the Borrower of applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, AML Laws, or Sanctions.

​

​

So long as any Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations) is owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document or any Commitment has not terminated or expired, the Borrower shall do the following:

​

​

Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth reasonable details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action (if any) the Borrower has taken and propose to take with respect thereto. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

So long as any Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations) is owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document, the Borrower shall not do the following:

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Notwithstanding the foregoing, collateral support arrangements taking the form of Acceptable Collateral Support in an amount not less than the Required Support Amount under any Permitted Commodity Hedge and Power Sales Agreement entered into with any Permitted

​

Affiliate Hedge Counterparty shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.08; provided that the other terms and conditions of any such Permitted Commodity Hedge and Power Sales Agreement shall otherwise be required to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.08.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may enter into any agreement (including, but not limited to, any guarantee, credit sleeve or similar agreement) providing credit support for any Permitted Commodity Hedge and Power Sales Agreement entered into in accordance with the terms hereof.

​

or any provision thereof if such termination, replacement, amendment, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Lenders.

​

​

​

​

​

available such proceeds to any other Affiliate, joint venture partner or other Person, (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) in violation of applicable AML Laws, (c) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in any case in violation of applicable Sanctions, or (d) in any manner that would constitute a violation of any Sanctions by the Borrower, any Lender, any Agent or any other party hereto.

​

​

​

​

​

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower under Section 8.01(f), all of the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are

​

hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

​

​

​

and creditworthiness of the Borrower.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

​

Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” (in each case to the extent applicable) shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  

​

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.06 and Section 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will concurrently therewith or earlier, at the Borrower’s expense, without requiring consent of the Lenders, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence and effectuate the irrevocable and concurrent release of any Lien granted under any of the Collateral Documents in all or any portion of the Collateral being disposed of in connection with such permitted Disposition or identified as Excluded Property, in each case, without representation, warranty or recourse, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the

​

Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such permitted Disposition or release of Excluded Property is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

​

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.14(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

​

​

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

​

and provided further that (i)  no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Agent, in its capacity as such, in addition to the Borrower and the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, such Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a Conduit Lender at the time of such amendment, waiver or other

​

modification; and (iii) any Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendment, modification, waiver or consent may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Affiliate Lenders, except that (x) the Commitments of any such Affiliate Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of the Loans of any Affiliate Lender may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of such Loans may not be reduced, the fees or premium of or due in respect of any such Loans may not be reduced, the principal amount of any of such Loans may not be forgiven, the pro rata status of such Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Affiliate Lender and (y) any amendment, modification, waiver or other action that by its terms adversely affects any Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from, and is more adverse to such Affiliate Lender than it is to, other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Affiliate Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Borrower or Pledgor shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law, each Affiliate Lender shall not have the right to vote in accordance with its discretion, but shall authorize the Administrative Agent to vote on its behalf as directed by the Required Lenders (and such Affiliate Lender shall grant to the Administrative Agent a power of attorney in furtherance thereof) and shall agree not take any step or action (whether directly or indirectly) in such proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party to which the Administrative Agent has consented with respect to any disposition of assets by the Borrower or Pledgor or any equity or debt financing to be made to the Borrower or Pledgor), including the filing of any pleading by the Administrative Agent in (or with respect to any matters related to) the proceeding so long as the Administrative Agent is not taking any action to treat such Affiliate Lender’s Loans in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliate Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by other Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring the consent or approval of Required Lenders, Lenders that are Affiliated Debt Funds shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts actually included in determining whether the threshold in the definition of Required Lenders has been satisfied.  The voting power of each Lender that is an Affiliated Debt Fund shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, (a) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of any Collateral Document to better implement the intentions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case, such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

​

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders) specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, the Borrower may make one or more loan modification offers to all the Lenders that would, if and to the extent accepted by any such Lender, (a) extend the Scheduled Termination Date and any amortization of the Loans and Commitments and/or change the Applicable Rate and/or fees payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments under such Facility (in each case solely with respect to the Loans and Commitments of accepting Lenders in respect of which an acceptance is delivered) and (b) treat the Loans and Commitments so modified as a new “Term Facility”, for all purposes under this Agreement; provided that (i) such loan modification offer is made to each Lender under the relevant Facility on the same terms and subject to the same procedures as are applicable to all other Lenders under such Facility (which procedures in any case shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such loan modification and (iii) no loan modification shall affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent, without its prior written consent.

In connection with any such loan modification, the Borrower and each accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements and other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the applicable loan modification offer and the terms and conditions thereof, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be effective only with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments of Lenders that shall have accepted the relevant loan modification offer (and only with respect to Loans and Commitments as to which any such Lender has accepted the loan modification offer)) to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the existence of, and to give effect to the terms and conditions of, the applicable loan modification (including the addition of such modified Loans and/or Commitments as a “Term Facility” hereunder).  No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to accept any loan modification offer, and may reject any such offer in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification referred to above shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 with respect to the Borrower and the Pledgor.

​

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or Article VIII unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower (in respect of notices pursuant to Article VIII) and the applicable Lender.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its or their discretion, as applicable, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

​

​

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or Pledgor shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and

​

proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower or Pledgor under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

​

All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after invoiced or demand therefor (with a reasonably detailed invoice with respect thereto) (except for any such costs and expenses incurred prior to the initial Borrowing Date, which shall be paid on the initial Borrowing Date to the extent invoiced prior to the initial Borrowing Date).  The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of all of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.  If the Borrower or Pledgor fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower or Pledgor, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

​

whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, creditors or any other third person.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform or other information transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this Agreement unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee, the Borrower or the Pledgor or have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that such waiver of special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.05.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any the Borrower, the Pledgor or any of their respective directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, and whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto.  Should any investigation, litigation or proceeding be settled, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnitee in any such investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above.  All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of all of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim.

​

​

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the

​

Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the applicable Aggregate Exposure Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Aggregate Exposure Percentage of all Loans in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage thereof.  Subject to Section 10.25, except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claims of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender.

If any assignment or participation under this Section 10.07 is made (other than in accordance with clause (b)(ii)(D) above) to (1) any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any bona fide debt fund that is not itself a Disqualified Institution) or (2) any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such Person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay the outstanding amount of Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Loans, purchase such Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Loans, plus in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Loans, plus in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder; provided that (I) in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Borrower shall be liable to the relevant Disqualified Person under Section 3.04 if any SOFR Loan owing to such Disqualified Person is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.07 (except that (x) no registration and processing fee required under this Section 10.07 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (y) any Loan acquired by any Affiliate Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliate Lender Cap for a period of sixty (60) days following such transfer; provided that, to the extent either (1) the aggregate principal amount of Loans held by Affiliate Lenders exceeds the Affiliate Lender Cap on the sixty-first (61st) day following such transfer or (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.01(f), then in either case such excess amount shall be automatically contributed to Pledgor or Borrower and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution).  Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Pledgor or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Pledgor and its Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 10.07 insofar as such obligation relates to any assignment or participation to any Disqualified Person.  Additionally, each Lender agrees that the Pledgor and/or the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph

​

against any Disqualified Person and the immediately following paragraph of this Section 10.07 against any Disqualified Person, in each case with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Disqualified Person (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (y) attend or participate in conference calls or meetings participated in or attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by the Borrower or Pledgor therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, shall not have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Disqualified Person, deprive any Disqualified Person of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Loans are entitled and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Reorganization Plan”) each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Reorganization Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on such Reorganization Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable Class has accepted or rejected such Reorganization Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
