		2.Terms Applicable to Alternative Currency Loans.  From and after the Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereto agree as follows:
		

		
			(a)Alternative Currencies.  (i) No Alternative Currency shall be considered a currency for which there is a published LIBOR rate, and (ii) any request for a new Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, or to continue an existing Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, shall be deemed to be a request for a new Loan bearing interest at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable; provided,  that, to the extent any Loan bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate is outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate until the end of the current Interest Period or payment period applicable to such Loan unless, in the case of a Loan that bears interest at a daily floating rate, such daily floating rate is no longer representative or being made available, in which case such Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Alternative Currency Daily Rate immediately upon the effectiveness of this Amendment.
		

		
			(b) References to Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the Agreement and Loan Documents.  
		

		
			(i) References to the Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in provisions of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are not specifically addressed herein (other than the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loan) shall be deemed to include Alternative Currency Daily Rates, Alternative Currency Term Rates, and Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable.

			(c)  Interest Rates.  The Lender does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Lender have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Alternative Currency Daily Rate”, “Alternative Currency Term Rate” or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.
		

		
			(d)Revaluation Dates.  The Lender shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings and Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.
		

		
			(e)Borrowings and Continuations of Alternative Currency Loans.  In addition to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Agreement:
		

		
			(i)Alternative Currency Loans. Each Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, and each continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided,  that, any telephonic notice must 
		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Lender of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) three Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation.  Each Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in the minimum amounts set forth in the Agreement for Loans bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate and denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency.  Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing or a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if such Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; provided,  however,  that, in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Except as otherwise specified in the Agreement, no Alternative Currency Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
		

		
			(ii)Conforming Changes. With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower; provided,  that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Lender shall provide each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 
		

		
			(iii)Committed Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, or a continuation of and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrower shall use the Committed Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.
		

		
			(f)Interest.  
		

		
			(i)Subject to the provisions of the Agreement with respect to default interest, (x) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (y) each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate.
		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		
			(ii)Interest on each Alternative Currency Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified the Agreement.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any debtor relief law.
		

		
			(g) Computations.  All computations of interest for Alternative Currency Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Alternative Currency Loans as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Alternative Currency Loans for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loans is made, and shall not accrue on an Alternative Currency Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loans or such portion is paid; provided,  that, any Alternative Currency Loans that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the terms of the Agreement, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
		

		
			(h)Inability to Determine Rate; Successor Rates.
		

		
			(i)Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for an Alternative Currency Loan or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (A) the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable currency has been determined in accordance with Section 2(h)(ii) and the circumstances under clause (x) of Section 2(h)(ii) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Alternative Currency Loan, or (B) the Lender determines that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an a currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, in each case until the Lender revokes such notice.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided,  that, if no election is made by the Borrower (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is 
		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(ii)Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, the Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower notifies the Lender that the Borrower has determined, that:
		

		
			(x)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
		

		
			(y)the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided,  that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Lender that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);  or
		

		
			(z)bilateral loans currently being executed in the United States, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency;
		

		
			or if  the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2(h)(ii)(x),  (ii)(y) or (ii)(z) of this Appendix A have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then the Lender and the Borrower may amend this Amendment solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Alternative Currency in accordance with this Section 2(h)(ii) with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar bilateral credit facilities executed in the United States and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar bilateral credit facilities executed in the United States and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”). 
		

		
			The Lender will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
		

		
			
		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided,  that, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Lender, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Lender.
		

		
			Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Agreement, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for purposes of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower; provided,  that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Lender shall provide each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
		

		
			(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.

			﻿
		

		
			(e)Interest.

			(ii)Interest on each BSBY Rate Loan and each BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified the Agreement.  Interest hereunder shall be due

			(f) Computations.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the BSBY Rate or the BSBY Daily Floating Rate, as applicable) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest with respect to BSBY Rate Loans and BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided,  that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the provisions in the Agreement addressing payments generally, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
		

		
			(g)Inability to Determine Rates; Successor Rates.
		

		
			(i)BSBY Rate Loans.  If in connection with any request for a BSBY Rate Loan or a BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (A) the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2(g)(ii) and the circumstances under clause (x) of Section 2(g)(ii) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, or (B) the Lender determines that for any reason that the BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan or a BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such BSBY Rate Loan or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower.  Thereafter, (1) the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain BSBY Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable or to convert Base Rate Loans to BSBY Rate Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans, BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (2) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the BSBY Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Lender revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (1) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans, BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (2) any outstanding BSBY Rate Loans and BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period or payment period, as applicable.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(ii)Successor Rates.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, the Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower notifies the Lender that the Borrower has determined, that:  
		

		

		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		(x)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY including, without limitation, because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
		

		
			(y)Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Lender or Bloomberg or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month,  three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, or that such interest periods or BSBY Screen Rate have failed to comply with the International Organization of Securities Commission (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided,  that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Lender that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of BSBY after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);  
		

		
			then, on a date and time determined by the Lender (any such date, the “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Lender, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Amendment or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”):
		

		
			(1)Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and
		

		
			(2) Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment;
		

		
			provided, that, if initially BSBY is replaced with the rate contained in clause (2) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Lender determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Lender in its sole discretion, and the Lender notifies the Borrower of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment.
		

		
			If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
		

		
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Agreement, (A) if the Lender determines that neither of the alternatives set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date or (B) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2(g)(ii)(x) or (ii)(y) of this Appendix B have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Lender and the Borrower 
		

		 


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		may amend this Amendment solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2(g)(ii) at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated bilateral credit facilities executed in the United States for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated bilateral credit facilities executed in the United States for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate.    
		

		
			The Lender will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
		

		
			Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided,  that, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Lender, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Lender.
		

		
			Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Agreement, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for purposes of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower; provided,  that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Lender shall provide each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
		

		
			(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.
