  (ii) Any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document requiring the consent, approval, or satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (including with respect to any Modification pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement, but excluding any modification of the Administrative Agent’s rights under any provision of Article VIII or Article IX or Section 10.14 in each case of the Credit Agreement, or any analogous provision of any other Loan Document that adversely affects the Administrative Agent without the consent of the Administrative Agent) shall require, instead, the consent, approval or satisfaction of either the Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Lenders;

 

  (iii) Any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that permits the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to take, or to request any Borrower Party to take, any action (including without limitation, the exercise of any right or remedy) or to make delivery of any information, documentation or other deliverable, in its discretion, shall only be taken at the direction of the Lenders (or, if a provision of the Credit Agreement expressly provides that the Required Lenders may direct the action of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders), except to the extent such action or delivery is solely for purposes of granting, maintaining or perfecting a Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and

 

  (iv) Any notice, information, documentation or other deliverable required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall also be concurrently delivered to the Syndication Agent.
