(b)                                 The parties hereto agree that each Released Guarantor and New Operator shall be deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary; provided, however, that no Released Guarantor shall be deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph (b) if it is a Provider with respect to a Property other than a Citibank Property.

(c)                                  The Agent hereby agrees to file (x) a termination statement with respect to each existing UCC-1 financing statement showing such Released Guarantor as debtor and the Agent as secured party and (y) an amendment to each existing UCC-1 financing statement, which amendment shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, describing the assets covered by security interests granted by such Transferor Guarantor to the Lender to reflect the release of the Collateral described above.
