11.Definition of Administrative Agent in Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents. The Parties hereby further agree and acknowledge that, from and after the Effective Date, (a) the Successor Agent shall be, and shall be deemed to be, the “Administrative Agent” under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) the Successors Agent’s only role under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents is that of Administrative Agent and nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Successor Agent a Lender under the Credit Agreement, or to impose on the Successor Agent actions, duties or obligations of Lenders thereunder (including any obligation to fund Loans).  In furtherance of the foregoing, all defined terms referencing or appointing the Resigning Agent as Administrative Agent in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended from and after the Effective Date to reference the Successor Agent as the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, on and after the Effective Date, all payments of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent shall be payable to the Successor Agent, as and when such amounts become due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents.  In the event that, after the Effective Date, the Resigning Agent receives any payment or any other amount owing to any Lender or the Successor Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or receives any instrument, agreement, report, financial statement, insurance policy, notice or other document, the Resigning Agent agrees to promptly forward the same to the Successor Agent and to hold the same in trust for the Successor Agent until so forwarded.  The Parties hereto agree that any provision of any of the Loan Documents directing the Loan Parties to make payment to the Resigning Agent shall be hereby amended to direct the Loan Parties to make payment to the account designated by the Successor Agent to the Borrower from time to time.
