Base Rate” means the highest of (i) the per annum interest rate publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina, to be its prime rate (which may not necessarily be its lowest or best lending rate), as adjusted to conform to changes as of the opening of business on the date of any such change in such prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, as adjusted to conform to changes as of the opening of business on the date of any such change in the Federal Funds Rate, and (iii) subject to the implementation of a Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 2.15(h), the LIBOR Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, as adjusted to conform to changes as of the opening of business on the date of any such change of such LIBOR Rate.

 2 

 

 

LIBOR Rate” means, subject to the implementation of a Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 2.15(h):

 

(i)       with respect to each LIBOR Loan denominated in any Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) comprising part of the same Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum obtained by dividing (A) (y) the London Interbank Offered Rate as published by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a United Kingdom company (or a comparable or successor quoting service which is approved by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower) for deposits denominated in such Currency or (z) if such rate is not so published, the rate of interest determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate or the arithmetic mean of rates at which deposits in such Currency in immediately available funds are offered to first-tier banks (as determined in consultation with the Borrower) in the London interbank Eurodollar market, in each case under (y) and (z) above at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period for a period substantially equal to such Interest Period, by (B) the amount equal to 1.00 minus the Reserve Requirement (expressed as a decimal) for such Interest Period; and

 

(ii)       with respect to each LIBOR Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars comprising part of the same Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent on the basis of an average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having a maturity comparable to the applicable Interest Period appearing on the “Reuters Screen CDOR Page” (as defined in the International Swap Dealer Association, Inc.’s definitions), or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, from time to time, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the first day of such Interest Period (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the immediately preceding Business Day); provided that if, for any reason, such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page on such day, then the “LIBOR Rate” on such day for any LIBOR Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be calculated as the rate (rounded upwards to the nearest basis point) quoted by The Toronto-Dominion Bank (or its successors or assigns or such other bank listed in Schedule I to the Bank Act (Canada) as the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate) as its discount rate for the purchase of Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances in an amount substantially equal to such LIBOR Loan with a term comparable to such Interest Period at approximately 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the first day of such Interest Period (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the immediately preceding Business Day); and

 

 3

If, for any reason, such rate is not so published, then “LIBOR” for such Base Rate Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which U.S. Dollar deposits would be offered by first class banks (as determined in consultation with the Borrower) in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date of determination for delivery on the date in question for a one month term.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if any determination of any rate described in this definition would result in the LIBOR Rate being less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero and (y) unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 2.15(h), in the event that a Replacement Rate with respect to the LIBOR Rate is implemented, then all references herein to LIBOR Rate shall be deemed references to such Replacement Rate.

 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (1) as of the date hereof, ICE Benchmark Administration Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Borrower, and (2) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, solely in their respective capacities as such under this Agreement, shall have any direct claim under this Agreement against the Borrower on account of any action taken by ICE Benchmark Administration Ltd. in its capacity as a provider of any quotations or rates referred to this definition.

(d)           Section 2.15(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

 4 

 

 

(e)       Inadequacy or Indeterminacy. Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (h) below, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (y) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination in good faith that the rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” upon the basis of which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon such notice, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (unless then repaid in full), be converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to the Borrowing to which such Interest Period applies), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans, in each case until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (and the Required Lenders, if making such determination, shall have so notified the Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower and the Lenders.

 

(e)           New Section 2.15(h) is hereby inserted into the Credit Agreement immediately following Section 2.15(g) of the Credit Agreement:

 

 5 

 

 

(h)       Alternative Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.15(e), if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have made the determination that (i) the circumstances described in Section 2.15(e)(y) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable Currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable Currency (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to establish a replacement interest rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark reference rate for syndicated loans in the United States at such time (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Credit Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 2.15(e)(y), (h)(i), (h)(ii) or (h)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15(h), including, without limitation and as applicable, any proposed conforming changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” “LIBOR Market Index Rate,” “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other matters as may be appropriate, as agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to reflect the adoption of such Replacement Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Replacement Rate yet exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines with the consent of the Borrower). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects, it being understood that the Required Lenders need not specify identical objectionable provisions of the amendment in order to constitute effective notice). If no Replacement Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods), (B) the LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate and (C) each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be prepaid by the Borrower or be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the Borrower’s option. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (B)) in the amount specified therein.

 

(f)           Section 5.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” from the end of clause (iii) therein; (ii) redesignating clause (iv) therein as clause (v); and (iii) inserting the following as a new clause (iv) therein:

 

(iv)       any change in the information provided in any Beneficial Ownership Certification previously delivered by the Borrower that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in parts (c) or (d) of such certification, if applicable (it being understood that disclosure of any such change in the Borrower’s SEC filings shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.2(c)(iv)); and

 

(g)           The Commitment Schedule set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) (Commitments and Notice Addresses) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
