AGREEMENT

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Waiver and Amendment shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.

 

2. Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

2.1 In Paragraph 1.2 (Availability Period.), the date “December 31, 2014” is substituted for the date “August 1, 2015” as the new Facility No. 1 Expiration Date.

 

2.2 In subparagraph (c) of Paragraph 2.2 (LIBOR Rate.), the defined term “London Inter-Bank Offered Rate” is replaced by the defined term “LIBOR” in each instance in which the former defined term appears, and clause (i) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

(i)“LIBOR" means, for any applicable interest period, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A "London Banking Day" is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.
