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

(i)     References to the Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Advances in provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are not specifically addressed herein shall be deemed to include Alternative Currency Daily Rates, Alternative Currency Term Rates, and Alternative Currency Advances, as applicable.
(ii)     For purposes of any requirement for a Borrower to compensate Lenders for losses in the Credit Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Alternative Currency Advance on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), references to the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to include any relevant interest payment date or payment period for an Alternative Currency Advance.
(c)      Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent 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)    Borrowings and Continuations of Alternative Currency Advances.  In addition to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement:
(i)    Alternative Currency Advances.  If a Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing requesting a Borrowing, then the Advances so requested shall be made in Dollars.  If a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Advance in a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or if such Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable Advances shall be made as Base Rate Advances denominated in Dollars; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Advances, such Advances shall be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Advances in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month.  If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Advances in any such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, 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 Credit Agreement, no Alternative Currency Advance may be converted into or continued as an Advance denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Advance and reborrowed in the other currency.
(ii)    Conforming Changes.  With respect to any Alternative Currency Rate the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 
(iii)    Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing. For purposes of a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Advances, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall use the Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(e)    Interest.  
    (i)    Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to default interest, (x) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Advance 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 Margin; and (y) each Alternative Currency Term Rate Advance 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 Margin.
    (ii)    Interest on each Alternative Currency Advance shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified the Credit 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.
(f)    Successor Rates.  The provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing the replacement of a current Successor Rate for a currency shall be deemed to apply to Alternative Currency Advances and SONIA, TIBOR and EURIBOR, as applicable, and the related defined terms shall be deemed to include Sterling, Japanese Yen and Euros and SONIA, TIBOR and EURIBOR, as applicable.
