4.             The Loan Agreement, the Note, and to the extent necessary, the Loan Documents, are hereby further amended and modified so that the term “LIBO Rate” and the definition thereof is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“As used herein, ‘LIBO Rate’ shall mean the rate obtained by dividing: (1) the actual or estimated per annum rate, or the arithmetic mean of the per annum rates, of interest for deposits in U.S. dollars for the related LIBO Rate Interest Period, as determined by Lender in its discretion based upon reference to information which appears on page LIBOR01, captioned ICE Benchmark Administration Interest Settlement Rates, of the Reuters America Network, a service of Reuters America Inc. (or such other page that may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates; or, if such service ceases to be available or ceases to be used by Lender, such other reasonably comparable money rate service as Lender may select) or upon information obtained from any other reasonable procedure, as of two Banking Days prior to the first day of a LIBO Rate Interest Period; by (2) an amount equal to one minus the stated maximum rate (expressed as a decimal), if any, of all reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves) that is specified on the first day of each LIBO Rate Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor agency thereto) for determining the maximum reserve requirement with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as ‘Eurocurrency liabilities’ in Regulation D of such Board) maintained by a member bank of such System, or any other regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto as conclusively determined by Lender. Subject to any maximum or minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, any variable rate of interest on the obligation evidenced hereby shall change automatically, without notice to the Borrower, on the first day of each LIBO Rate Interest Period. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each month. If the LIBO Rate becomes unavailable, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. This Agreement expresses an initial interest rate and an initial index value to five (5) places to the right of the decimal point. This expression is done solely for convenience. The reference sources for the index used by Lender, as stated in this Agreement, may actually quote the index on any given day to as many as five (5) places to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, the actual index value used to calculate the interest rate on and the amount of interest due under this Agreement will be to five (5) places to the right of the decimal point.”

Lender may charge the applicable Loan for the amount of any item of payment or other payment that is returned to Lender unpaid or otherwise not collected.”

In the event Borrower and Lender enter into a Hedging Contract (as defined hereafter), Borrower shall be responsible for any and all Hedging Contract Obligations (as defined hereafter), contingent or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising, of Borrower to Lender, or to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or successors arising under or in connection with such Hedging Contract Transactions (as defined hereafter), all of which obligations shall be entitled to all of the benefits and protections afforded to Lender under or pursuant to this Agreement.
