C. The parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendment of Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date (defined below), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The definition of “Alternate Base Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
““Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day; provided that, if the LIBO Screen Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and provided, further, if the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such Interest Period then the LIBO Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate, provided, that, if any Interpolated Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.”
(b) The last sentence of the definition of “Commitment” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“As of July 29, 2014, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments is $415,000,000.”
(c) The following definition of “Impacted Interest Period” is hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement:
““Impacted Interest Period” means any Interest Period for which the LIBO Screen Rate is not available.”
(d) The following definition of “Interpolated Rate” is hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement:
““Interpolated Rate” means, at any time, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the LIBO Screen Rate) determined by the Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) to be equal to the rate that results from interpolating on a linear basis between: (a) the LIBO Screen Rate for the longest period (for which the LIBO Screen Rate is available for the applicable currency) that is shorter than the Impacted Interest Period; and (b) the LIBO Screen Rate for the shortest period (for which that LIBO Screen Rate is available for the applicable currency) that exceeds the Impacted Interest Period, in each case, at such time.”
(e) The definition of “LIBO Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“”LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any applicable currency and for any Interest Period, the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for the relevant currency for a period equal in length to such Interest Period as displayed on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; in each case the “LIBO Screen Rate”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement; provided further that if the Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such Interest Period with respect to the applicable currency then the LIBO Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate; provided that if any Interpolated Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.”
(f) The last sentence of Section 2.02(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.”
(g) Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.
Section 2. Commitments. Capital One, National Association and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation each agrees that, as of the Effective Date, it shall be a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and each agrees to be bound by all of its obligations thereunder. Each Electing Lender agrees that its respective Commitment shall be equal to the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.
