1.3    New Sections 1.6 and 1.7. Section 1 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by adding new Sections 1.6 and 1.7 immediately following Section 1.5 of the Loan Agreement, which new Sections 1.6 and 1.7 shall read in their respective entireties as follows:
1.6    LIBOR Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent reasonably determines after consultation with the Borrower Agents, or any Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Agents) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, because the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page (or other source) used by the Agent to determine LIBOR (“LIBOR Screen Rate”) is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;
(b)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date (“Scheduled Unavailability Date”) after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans; or
(c)    a rate other than LIBOR has become a widely recognized benchmark interest rate for syndicated loans denominated in Euros, Sterling or Dollar

3



currencies currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 1.6 (as applicable);
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrower Agents may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (“LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and the amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent posts the amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agents unless, prior to such time, the Required Lenders notify the Agent in writing that they do not accept the amendment. Upon any such rejection, the Borrower Agents and the Agent agree to negotiate in good faith to arrive at an amendment to this Agreement to reflect a LIBOR Successor Rate (which, for the avoidance of doubt, such amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent posts the amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agents unless, prior to such time, the Required Lenders notify the Agent in writing that they do not accept such amendment).
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined using the above procedures and the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the Agent will promptly notify Borrower Agents and Lenders. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (ii) the LIBOR component shall no longer be used in determining Base Rate until a LIBOR Successor Rate is determined in accordance with the above procedures. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for funding, conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan.
1.7    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
1.4    Amendment to Section 5.2. Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by replacing the reference to “Section 10.2.5(a), (b), (c) or (k)” therein with “Section 10.2.5(a), (b), (c), (k) or (l)”.
