The Purchaser and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Purchaser may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any


 
7 ACTIVE 65854071v3 Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, and shall have no liability to the Company, or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. (n) Section 2.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing such section with the following: Section 2.1 Authorization of Bonds. (a) No Bonds may be issued under the provisions of this Indenture except in accordance with this Article and shall be limited to the maximum principal amount of $38,000,000. The proceeds of the Bonds shall be advanced from time to time by the Purchaser upon receipt by the Purchaser (with a copy to the Trustee) of a Notice of Borrowing; provided, however, no advances shall be made by the Purchaser after March 20, 2014. The Trustee shall make a notation on the grid attached to the Note of the date and amount of each such advance and each payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. The Purchaser has agreed in the Bond Purchase Agreement to make a similar notation on the grid attached to the Bond. To the extent of any inconsistency between the grid attached to the Note and the grid attached to the Bond, the grid attached to the Bond shall prevail. The principal amount outstanding under this Indenture shall be determined by records maintained by the Trustee and the Purchaser. To the extent of any inconsistency between the records maintained by the Trustee and the records maintained by the Purchaser, the records maintained by the Purchaser shall prevail. Each Notice of Borrowing submitted by the Company to the Purchaser requesting an advance of the proceeds of the Loan under the Loan Agreement, or the conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other (as described below in Section 2.1(b)), shall be deemed a request hereunder for funding or conversion of a corresponding and equal amount under the Bonds. Each advance of a Loan was initially made as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan (as defined in this Indenture prior to giving effect to the Sixth Supplement Indenture), and may be converted from one Type to another from time to time, at the request of the Company, as further provided herein. (b) (i) Each conversion of a portion of the Loan from one Type to the other, and each continuation of a Term SOFR Loan shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Purchaser, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Purchaser not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan or of any conversion of a Term SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Purchaser of a written Notice of Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Company Representative. Each conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or any whole dollar amount in excess


 
8 ACTIVE 65854071v3 thereof. Each Loan of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or any whole dollar amount in excess thereof. Each Notice of Borrowing (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) whether the Company is requesting a conversion of the Loan from one Type to the other or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, (2) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of the Loan to be converted or continued, and (4) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing or if the Company fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Term SOFR Loan. If the Company requests a conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Company will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for the Term SOFR Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Loan may not be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Loan without the consent of the Purchaser. (iii) The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that a Base Rate Loan is outstanding, the Purchaser shall notify the Company of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. (iv) After giving effect to all conversions of the Loan from one Type to the other, and all continuations of the Loan as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be responsible for maintaining records of each conversion, the applicable Types and amounts of each portion of the Loan and interest payable with respect to the Loan as of each Payment Date. The Purchaser shall notify the Trustee of each such calculation and the Trustee shall conclusively rely upon such notifications. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the calculation the Applicable Rates or amounts of interest payable on any Payment Date. (c) Each determination of an interest rate by the Purchaser pursuant to any provision of this Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer and the Company in absence of manifest error.


 
9 ACTIVE 65854071v3 (d) As of the Sixth Supplement Indenture Effective Date, all outstanding advances of the Loan bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in this Indenture prior to giving effect to the Sixth Supplement Indenture, the “Existing Eurodollar Rate Loan”). Prior to being repaid or prepaid, the Existing Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest, and interest shall be payable by the Company, in accordance with this Indenture prior to giving effect to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. The foregoing shall be applicable solely to the Existing Eurodollar Rate Loan, and shall cease to apply or have any further force and effect if no Existing Eurodollar Rate Loan is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the Sixth Supplemental Indenture Effective Date, the Eurodollar Rate Loan (as defined in this Indenture prior to giving effect to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture) will not be continued under this Indenture and the Existing Eurodollar Rate Loan will be converted to a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month at the end of the applicable Interest Period. (o) Section 2.2(b)(iii) of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing such section with the following: (iii) Subject to the provisions of subsection (iv) below, (A) a Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (y) the Highest Lawful Rate and (z) the Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (B) a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (y) the Highest Lawful Rate and (z) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (p) Section 2.2(d) of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing such section with the following: (d) Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a conversion to or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, (i) the Purchaser determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 14.10, and the circumstances under clause (a) of Section 14.10 or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Purchaser determines that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Purchaser of funding such Loan, the Purchaser will promptly so notify the Company and the Trustee. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Purchaser to convert to or maintain a Term SOFR Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loan or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the


 
10 ACTIVE 65854071v3 Purchaser revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a conversion to, or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loan or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a conversion of the Loan to a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loan shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loan immediately at the end of its applicable Interest Period. (q) Section 8.2 of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Eurodollar Rate” contained therein with “Term SOFR”. (r) Section 9.3(a)(i)(3) of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “or the London interbank market” from such section. (s) Section 14.10 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing such section with the following: Section 14.10 Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if the Purchaser determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), or the Company notifies the Purchaser that the Company has determined (which determination likewise shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), that: (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (b) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Purchaser, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); then, on a date and time determined by the Purchaser (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (b) above, no later than the Scheduled


 
11 ACTIVE 65854071v3 Unavailability Date, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Company and the Purchaser may supplement this Indenture solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR hereunder with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Purchaser, in each case, and any such supplement shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Purchaser shall have posted such proposed supplement to the Company (the “Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Purchaser determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.2(d)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Purchaser and the Company may supplement this Indenture solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 14.10 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated loans in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated loans in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Purchaser from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such supplement shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Purchaser shall have posted such proposed supplement to the Company. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Purchaser, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Purchaser. (d) Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero% for the purposes of this Indenture. (e) In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Purchaser will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any supplements implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Indenture; provided that, with respect to any such supplement effected, the Purchaser shall post each such supplement implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company reasonably promptly after such supplement becomes effective.


 
12 ACTIVE 65854071v3 Section 3. Ratification. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the provisions of the Indenture shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect, and, as amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects agreed to, ratified and confirmed by the Issuer and the Trustee.
