“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  11.13 , (A) in the case of any assignment and replacement of a Lender resulting from such Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, (1) not later than four Business Days after such Non-Consenting Lender’s receipt of notice from the Borrower of the proposed replacement of such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with this Section  11.13 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), such Non-Consenting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable assignee Lender to evidence such assignment, (2) if such Non-Consenting Lender refuses or fails to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Assumption within such four Business Day period (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), then the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption in the name of and on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender and (3) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption, such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender and (B) in the case of any assignment or delegation (including any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender), a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.”

B.        This First Amendment is limited to the matters specified herein and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
