markets generally, provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of
Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter
of Credit Issuer.
3.5. Increased Costs. If after the Original Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the
Original Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (a) impose, modify or
make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C
Participant's L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under
this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant's L/C Participation therein, and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter
of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such
increase or reduction attributable to (i) taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise taxes (imposed in lieu of net
income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes described under clauses (b) or (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of
Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as
the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letter
of Credit issued on account of the Borrower)), the Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the
Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person's compliance with, or pursuant to any request
or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Original Closing Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant
Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant
to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate
the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.
3.6. New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.
(a) The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit
Issuer. The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be
replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a
successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall
be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term "Letter of Credit Issuer" shall mean such successor or such new
issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon
