U.S. Bank desires to appoint U.S. Bank Trust Company as its successor as Closed-End Administrative Agent and U.S. Bank Trust Company desires to accept such appointment.

 

3.            The parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement in certain respects as set forth herein in accordance with Section 9.1(a)(iv) and Section 9.1(a)(v) thereof (a) to clarify provisions regarding the circumstances in which an entity will automatically succeed to the Closed-End Administrative Agent under the Agreement and (b) to evidence the acceptance of the appointment of U.S. Bank Trust Company as successor Closed-End Administrative Agent under the Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

 

 17th Amendment to Fourth Amended and
Restated Collateral Agency Agreement

 

 

SECTION 1.      Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.      Amendments to the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

2.1            Appendix A of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Closed-End Administrative Agent” in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

‘Closed-End Administrative Agent’ means U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Closed-End Administrative Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement.”

 

2.2            The definition of “Corporate Trust Office” in Appendix A of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the address provided for the Closed-End Administrative Agent and replacing it with the following:

7th Floor 

Chicago, Illinois 60603 

Attention: Chris Nuxoll 

Fax: 312-332-7993 

Telephone: 312-332-7490

SECTION 3.      Miscellaneous. The Agreement, as amended hereby, remains in full force and effect. Any reference to the Agreement from and after the date hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby, unless otherwise expressly stated. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). This Amendment may, if agreed by the Deal Agent, be in the form of an Electronic Record and be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. This Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Amendment.
