“Alternative Swingline Rate”:  a rate per annum (other than the ABR or the Swingline LIBO Rate) agreed by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower prior to the submission of a request for the borrowing of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(a) as the rate by reference to which interest on such Swingline Loan will be determined.

“Swingline LIBO Rate”: as to any day that a Swingline LIBOR Loan is outstanding, the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would be applicable to a LIBOR Loan with a one-month Interest Period if such LIBOR Loan were made two Business Days later (it being understood that the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to the same benefits of Section 3.6 as are applicable to LIBOR Loans, and have the same rights as the Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders thereunder, such that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make Swingline LIBOR Loans if it determines that the provisions thereof have been triggered).

(d) by amending the definition of “Applicable Margin” to insert the words “and Swingline LIBOR Loans” immediately following the words “LIBOR Loans” each time such words appear therein;

(e) by amending the definition of “Interest Payment Date” to delete the words “and as to any Fed Funds Loan” following the words “ABR Loan” in clause (a) thereof;

(f) by amending the definition of “Interest Period” as follows:
