Release from Credit Support Instruments. Regency shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable best efforts to, secure the unconditional release, as of the Closing Date, of Contributor and its Affiliates from the credit support instruments set forth in Schedule 5.21 to the extent, but only to the extent, that such instruments provide credit support to any of the Acquired Companies (the “Acquired Companies Credit Support”), including effecting such release by providing guarantees or other credit support for obligations of the Acquired Companies, and Regency shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable best efforts to, be substituted in all respects for Contributor and each of its Affiliates that provide the Acquired Companies Credit Support, so that Regency shall be solely responsible for the obligations of such Acquired Companies Credit Support. Contributor shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to assist Regency in its efforts to secure the release of the Acquired Companies Credit Support; provided that Regency’s failure to effect any such release by providing guarantees or other credit support for obligations of the Acquired Companies shall relieve Contributor from its duty to assist Regency in such efforts with respect to any such release. To the extent Regency is unable to obtain release for any Acquired Companies Credit Support as of the Closing, Regency shall indemnify Contributor and its Affiliates for any and all Losses arising from or relating to the Acquired Companies Credit Support Instruments arising after the Closing Date. In the event that any Acquired Companies Credit Support has not been terminated and Contributor or any of its Affiliates has not been released as of the Closing Date, Contributor and/or such Affiliate shall be permitted to terminate such Acquired Companies Credit Support as promptly as possible under the terms of each applicable credit support instrument.
