Any such dividend equivalents shall be paid if and when the underlying Restricted Stock Units are settled.  Dividend equivalents shall not accrue interest.

			(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation or a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including BSBY or Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion, (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or a Government Authority having jurisdiction over such administrator with respect to its publication of such Benchmark of a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Lender, in each case acting in such capacity, has provided a public statement or publication of information identifying a specific date after which any tenor shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining,

			Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

			(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the BSBY Rate);

			(iii)impose on Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, the Note or Loans made by Lender or any letter of credit;
		

		
			and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any letter of credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any letter of credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
		

		
			(b)Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect 
		

		 

		

			12

		

		

			 

		

 

		of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Note, any commitment of the Lender to make a loan, the Loans or any letters of credit issued by Lender, to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
		

		
			(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
		

		
			(e)Illegality. If Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to BSBY or the BSBY Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon BSBY or the BSBY Rate, then, upon notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, (a) any obligation of Lender to make BSBY Loans or Daily BSBY Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue BSBY Loans or to convert ABR Loans to BSBY Loans or Daily BSBY Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all BSBY Loans and Daily BSBY Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the case of BSBY Loans and immediately in the case of Daily BSBY Loans, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such BSBY Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such BSBY Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” in each case until Lender determines that it is no longer illegal for Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon BSBY or the BSBY Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5.

For purposes of this Section 3.6, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.
		

		
			(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender.
		

		
			(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

			(b)Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a BSBY Loan or a Daily BSBY Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that the BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Loan or Daily BSBY Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Loan;
		

		
			Lender will promptly so notify Borrower.
		

		
			Upon notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any obligation of Lender to make BSBY Loans or Daily BSBY Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue BSBY Loans or to convert ABR Loans to BSBY Loans or Daily BSBY Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until Lender revokes such notice.

Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5.  Subject to Section 3.3, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the “BSBY Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until Lender revokes such determination.
