Exhibit 4(c)

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: its common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”).

 

The following is a summary of the terms and provisions of the Company’s Common Shares. The rights of the holders of the Common Shares are governed by the Ohio Revised Code, the Company’s Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”) and the Company’s Amended Code of Regulations (“Regulations”), each of which is filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this exhibit is a part, and each of which may be amended from time to time. The following summary is qualified by reference to the Articles of Incorporation, the Regulations and applicable provisions of Ohio law.

 

Certain provisions of the Ohio Revised Code, the Articles of Incorporation and Regulations summarized in the following paragraphs may have an anti-takeover effect. This may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in its best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by such shareholder.

 

Common Shares

 

Under the Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 35,000,000 Common Shares.

 

The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters upon which shareholders have the right to vote and, upon proper notice, are entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The Common Shares do not have any preemptive rights, are not subject to redemption and do not have the benefit of any sinking fund. Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as the Company’s directors from time to time may declare out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, holders of the Common Shares are entitled to share in any of the Company’s assets remaining after satisfaction in full of the Company’s liabilities and satisfaction of such dividend and liquidation preferences as may be possessed by the holders of other classes of securities the Company may have outstanding in the future.

 

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.

 

Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute

 

The Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute requires the prior authorization of the shareholders of certain corporations in order for any person to acquire, either directly or indirectly, shares of that corporation that would entitle the acquiring person to exercise or direct the exercise of 20% or more of the voting power of that corporation in the election of directors or to exceed specified other percentages of voting power. In the event an acquiring person proposes to make such an acquisition, the person is required to deliver to the corporation a statement disclosing, among other things, the number of shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the person, the range of voting power that may result from the proposed acquisition and the identity of the acquiring person. Within 10 days after receipt of this statement, the corporation must call a special meeting of shareholders to vote on the proposed acquisition. The acquiring person may complete the proposed acquisition only if the acquisition is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote in the election of directors represented at the meeting excluding the voting power of all “interested shares.” Interested shares include any shares held by the acquiring person and those held by officers and directors of the corporation as well as by certain others, including many holders commonly characterized as arbitrageurs. The Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute does not apply to a corporation if its articles of incorporation or code of regulations state that the statute does not apply to a corporation. Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Regulations of the Company contain a provision opting out of this statute.

 

 

 

 

Ohio Interested Shareholder Statute

 

Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code prohibits certain corporations from engaging in a “chapter 1704 transaction” with an “interested shareholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless, among other things:

 

	 	
			●

				
			the articles of incorporation expressly provide that the corporation is not subject to the statute (we have not made this election); or

			

 

	 	
			●

				
			the board of directors of the corporation approves the chapter 1704 transaction or the acquisition of the shares before the date the shares were acquired.

			

 

After the three-year moratorium period, the corporation may not consummate a chapter 1704 transaction unless, among other things, it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power in the election of directors and the holders of a majority of the voting shares, excluding all shares beneficially owned by an interested shareholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder, or the shareholders receive certain minimum consideration for their shares. A chapter 1704 transaction includes certain mergers, sales of assets, consolidations, combinations and majority share acquisitions involving an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is defined to include, with limited exceptions, any person who, together with affiliates and associates, is the beneficial owner of a sufficient number of shares of the corporation to entitle the person, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, to exercise or direct the exercise of 10% or more of the voting power in the election of directors after taking into account all of the person’s beneficially owned shares that are not then outstanding.

 

Mergers, Acquisitions, Share Purchases and Certain Other Transactions

 

The Ohio Revised Code requires approval of mergers, dissolutions, dispositions of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets and majority share acquisitions and combinations involving issuance of shares representing one-sixth or more of the voting power of the corporation immediately after the consummation of the transaction (other than so-called “parent-subsidiary” mergers), by two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation, unless the articles of incorporation specify a different proportion (but not less than a majority). The Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not specify a voting power proportion different than that specified by Ohio law in connection with the approval of these transactions.

 

Amendments to Constituent Documents

 

Ohio law permits the adoption of amendments to articles of incorporation if those amendments are approved at a meeting held for that purpose by the holders of shares entitling them to exercise two-thirds of the voting power of the corporation, or a lesser, but not less than a majority, or greater vote as specified in the articles of incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not specify a voting power proportion different than that specified by Ohio law in connection with the approval of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation.

 

Ohio law permits adoption of amendments to regulations by an affirmative vote of the majority of shares entitled to vote or by written consent from holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote or by written consent or vote of a greater or lesser proportion as provided in the articles of incorporation or regulations but not less than the majority of voting power. The Regulations of the Company may be amended by the Company’s shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company at a meeting held for that purpose, or without a meeting by the affirmative written consent of a majority of the voting power of the Company.Exhibit 4.1

      as a liability upon a balance sheet of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Indebtedness of any Person shall include the Indebtedness of any other entity (including any partnership in which such Person is a general partner) to the extent
      such Person is liable therefore as a result of such Person’s ownership interest in or other relationship with such entity, except to the extent the terms of such Indebtedness provide that such Person is not liable therefor.

      Subsidiaries (other than the Receivables Subsidiary), (b) there shall be no recourse or obligation to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Receivables Subsidiary) whatsoever other than pursuant to representations, warranties,
      covenants, indemnities and performance guarantees or undertakings (which shall exclude any guarantees of principal of, and interest on such Permitted Receivables Facility) entered into in connection with such Permitted Receivables Facility that in

      responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any alternative
      or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents (and any agreement executed in connection with a Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled
      “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current
      Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all
      purposes hereunder and under any Loan Documents in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and (y) if
      a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan

      consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.

    

    

    (ii) Benchmark Replacement
        Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

        Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its
      related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any 

     

    

    
      7

      
        

    

     

    

    Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of
      any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any
      Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Subsection titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any
      decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan
      Documents, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

    

    

    (iv)  Unavailability of Tenor
        of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate
      (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (I) 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 the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion
      or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent
      may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently
      displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
      Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

    

    

    (v)  Benchmark Unavailability Period. 
      Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for Bonds bearing interest based on USD LIBOR, conversion to or continuation of Bonds
      bearing interest based on USD LIBOR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for Bonds of or conversion to Bonds
      bearing interest under the Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor
      for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

    

    

    (vi) Secondary Term SOFR Conversion. 
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred 

     

    

    
      8

      
        

    

     

    

    prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) the applicable Benchmark Replacement
      will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further
      action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (B) Bonds outstanding on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date bearing interest based on the then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to have been converted to
      Bonds bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this paragraph (vi) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has
      delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.

    

    

    (vii) Certain Defined Terms.  As used in
      this Subsection titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

    

    

    “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination
      and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then current Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant
      to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to paragraph (iv) of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement
      Setting”, or (y) if the then current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
      Available Tenor for the Daily LIBOR Rate is one month.

    

    

    “Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if
      a Benchmark Transition Event a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the
      applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Subsection titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

    

    

    “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor,
      the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

    

    

    	

          	(1)	
            the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

          

    

    

    	

          	(2)	
            the sum of (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

          

    

    

    	

          	(3)	
            the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-

          

    

    

    
      9

      
        

    

    
      

      

      	

            	

            	
              current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the
                mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated
                syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

            

      

      

    

    

    

    provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other
      information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, with respect to a Term SOFR Transition Event, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date,
      the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be determined as set forth in clause (1) of this definition. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark
      Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

    

    

    “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to
      any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

        or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

    

    

    (b)          the

        spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Available Tenor that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA
        Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

    

    

    	

          	(2)   

          	
            for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
              (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread
              adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement
              Date or (ii)

              any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such
                spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

            

    

    

    

    provided that, (x) in the case of
      clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and (y) if the
      then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such
      Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated
      with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.

    

    

    “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with
      respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining
      rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters)
      that the Administrative Agent reasonably decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent
      with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such
      Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent reasonably decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

    

    

    “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur
      of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

    

    

    	

          	(1)

              referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
              component thereof);

          

    

    

    	

          	(2)

              Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election
              from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

          

    

    

    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier
      than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in
      the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
      calculation thereof).

        Credit and Funding Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with SCHEDULE 1 attached
        hereto.  The amendment to Schedule 1 shall be effective only upon either (1) the receipt from nationally recognized bond counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent of one or more opinions with respect to all outstanding Bonds to the effect that
        the amendments set forth herein will have no adverse effect upon the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds or (2) action by the AL Issuer, the MS Issuer and the TN Issuer to reissue or concurrently
        refund the applicable series of Bonds (i.e., the AL Bonds, the MS Bonds or the TN Bonds) by issuing a new series of bonds (any such new series, “Current Refunding Bonds”)
        in order to include in the calculation of the Direct Purchase Rate the Designated Basis Points for the Pricing Levels set forth in Schedule 1 for the new Current Refunding Bonds, which such Current Refunding Bonds will be deemed purchased by the
        Lenders upon such Current Refunding Bonds’ issuance in exchange for the refunded Bonds held by each Lender, and which must be accompanied by one or more opinions of nationally recognized bond counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the
        effect that interest on each series of Current Refunding Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and each series of Current Refunding Bonds is duly authorized, executed and delivered by its respective Issuer, and as
        to such other matters reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

    

    

    Provided that if either of the conditions described in (1) or (2) above (the “Tax-Exempt Conditions”) is satisfied prior to May 15, 2021, with respect to any series of Bonds, then the amendment to Schedule 1 reflecting the tax-exempt rate shall be effective with respect to that separate series of Bonds
      or Current Refunding Bonds.

    

    

    Provided further that in the event that none of the Tax-Exempt Conditions are satisfied prior to May 15, 2021, then beginning on May
      16, 2021, the Bonds shall accrue interest at the rate determined by using the Taxable Pricing Grid set forth in Schedule 1.

    

    

    ARTICLE 3

    MISCELLANEOUS

    

    

    3.1.          Effectiveness.  This Amendment is effective as of the date hereof upon its execution and delivery by the Borrower and each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
        notify the Lenders of the occurrence of the effectiveness of this Amendment. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit and Funding Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit
        and Funding Agreement and each reference in each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit and Funding Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit and Funding Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the
        Credit and Funding Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

    

    

    3.2.          Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that (a) after giving effect to this Amendment, the

     

      

    
      16

      
        

    

     

      

    representations and warranties set forth in the Credit and Funding Agreement are correct in all material respects on and as of the
        date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or which would constitute an Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse
        or both.

    

    

    3.3.          No Waiver.  Except as specifically amended or modified pursuant to the terms of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Credit and Funding Agreement and the other Loan
        Documents remain in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall limit in any way the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit and Funding Agreement (as amended and modified hereby) and the other Loan
        Documents.

    

    

    3.4.          Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
        deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf’ or “tif’) format shall be
        effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
        electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
        law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

    

    

    3.5.          Governing Law.  This Amendment and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon arising out of or relating to this
        Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

    *At the time of execution of the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Funding Agreement, the Draw
      Down Period had expired and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate was no longer applicable.

    

    

    For purposes of determining the Designated Basis Points for computing the Direct Purchase Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee
      Rate:

    

    

    (a)       The Designated Basis Points and the
        Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined on the Tenth Amendment Effective Date based on Pricing Level V.

    

    

    (b)       The Designated Basis Points and the
        Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each Reference Period ending on or after June 30, 2021 based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Any increase or decrease in the Designated Basis Points and the Applicable
        Commitment Fee Rate computed as of such Reference Period shall be effective on the date on which the Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 6.01(i)(iv).

    

    

    (c)        If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as
          calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be
          obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower
          under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over
        the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the 

     

      

    
      
        

    

     

      

    Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article V.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall

    EFFECT OF DETERMINATION OF TAXABILITY

    

    

    In the event that a Determination of Taxability occurs with respect to any of the AL Bonds, MS Bonds and/or TN Bonds:

    

    

    (a)         Accrued and unpaid interest on the affected Bonds shall
        be due and payable at the rate determined by using the Taxable Pricing Grid set forth above commencing on the next Interest Payment Date after the date on which the Determination of Taxability occurs.

    

    

    (b)          In addition to future payments of accrued and unpaid
        interest on the affected Bonds at the rate determined by using the Taxable Pricing Grid set forth above in accordance with paragraph (a), the Borrower shall pay to the Holders of the affected Bonds the amount by which (i) the interest that would
        have accrued on the principal amount of the affected Bonds at the Taxable Rate during the period (A) beginning on the date determined by the Internal Revenue Service as the date on which the interest on such Bonds became includible in gross income
        of the Holders, and (B) ending on the earlier to occur of the date on which unpaid interest began to accrue at the rate determined by using the Taxable Pricing Grid set forth above under paragraph (a) or the date on which the principal amount of
        the affected Bonds was paid in full, exceeds (ii) the interest actually paid on the principal amount of the affected Bond for such period; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount due to any Holder under this paragraph (b) exceed the out-of-pocket
        costs actually incurred by such Holder as a result of the Determination of Taxability.

    

    

    Capitalized terms used in this Schedule I under the heading “Effect of Determination of
      Taxability” with respect to any Bond, if not defined in the Credit and Funding Agreement, shall have the meanings assigned in the applicable Indenture. In the event of a conflict between the terms and 

     

    

    
      
        

    

     

    

    conditions of the provisions of this Schedule I under the heading “Effect of Determination
      of Taxability” and the terms and conditions of other Loan Documents, the terms and conditions contained in this Schedule I shall govern.
