2. Terms Applicable to SOFR Loans. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereto agree as follows, solely with respect to SOFR Loans:
(a)Impacted Currency. (i) Dollars shall not be considered a currency for which there is a published LIBOR rate and (ii) any request for a new Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in Dollars, or to continue an existing Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in Dollars, shall be deemed to be a request for a new Loan bearing interest at Term SOFR, provided, that, (x) to the extent any Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate is outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date for a specified Interest Period, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate until the end of the current Interest Period applicable to such Loan and (y) to the extent any Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate is outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date and such rate fluctuates on a daily basis, such Loan shall bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR immediately upon the effectiveness of this Amendment.

In addition, references to the Eurodollar Rate in the definition of Base Rate in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to Term SOFR.
(ii)For purposes of any requirement for PRA to compensate Lenders for losses in the Credit Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “Breakage Provisions”), references to the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to include any relevant interest payment date or payment period for a SOFR Loan.
(c)Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent 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 either Borrower. The Administrative Agent 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 Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Amendment, and shall have no liability to either Borrower, any Lender 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.
(d)Borrowings, Conversions, Continuations and Prepayments of SOFR Loans. In addition to any other borrowing or prepayment requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document:
(i)SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be made upon PRA’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (A) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and (B) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Daily Simple SOFR Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Daily Simple SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans shall be in the minimum amounts set forth in the Credit Agreement for Loans denominated in Dollars and bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether PRA is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If PRA fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if PRA fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans. If PRA requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, PRA shall only be permitted to convert Daily Simple SOFR Loans to Term SOFR Loans at the end of the payment period applicable to such Daily Simple SOFR Loans, subject to the requirements of clause (A) above.
(ii)Conforming Changes. With respect to SOFR, Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Amendment or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to PRA and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
(iii)Committed Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of SOFR Loans, or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, PRA shall use the Committed Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(iv)Voluntary Prepayments of SOFR Loans. PRA may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the SOFR Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement); provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans.
(e)Interest.
(i)Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to default interest, (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate.
(ii)Interest on each SOFR Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified in the Credit Agreement; provided, that any prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to the Breakage Provisions. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any debtor relief law.
(f)Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest with respect to SOFR Loans shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing payments generally, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(g)Successor Rates. The provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing the replacement of a current Successor Rate shall be deemed to apply to Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and SOFR, as applicable, and the related defined terms shall be deemed to include Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to PRA.
