(a)Impacted Alternative Currencies. (i) No Impacted Alternative Currency shall be considered a currency for which there is a published LIBOR rate, and (ii) any request for a new Loan denominated in an Impacted Alternative Currency, or to continue an existing Loan denominated in an Impacted Alternative Currency, shall be deemed to be a request for a new Loan bearing interest at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable; provided, that, to the extent any Loan bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate is outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate until the end of the current Interest Period or payment period applicable to such Loan unless, in the case of a Loan that bears interest at a daily floating rate, such daily floating rate is no longer representative or being made available, in which case such Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as the case may be, immediately upon the effectiveness of this Agreement.

(b)References to Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents.

(ii)For purposes of any requirement for the Borrowers to compensate Lenders for losses in the Credit Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), 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 an Alternative Currency Term Rate 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 the rates in the definitions of “Alternative Currency Daily Rate” or “Alternative Currency Term Rate” 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 or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.

(d)Borrowings and Continuations of Alternative Currency Loans. In addition to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement:

(i)Alternative Currency Loans. Each Committed Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, and each continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’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 promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation; provided, however, that if the Parent Borrower wishes to request Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Appropriate Lenders. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans

shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) the name of the Borrower, (ii) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or continued, (v) the Type and Class of Loans to be borrowed or continued, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the Tranche and currency of the Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Parent Borrower requests a Revolving Loan and specifies an Alternative Currency Loan but fails to specify a Tranche in any Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Multicurrency Revolving Tranche Loans. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Parent Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate 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. Except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement, no Alternative Currency Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency or in a different Tranche, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Loan and reborrowed in the other currency or reborrowed in a different Tranche to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(ii)Conforming Changes. With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate and any Alternative Currency Term Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Parent Borrower) to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Credit Agreement 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 Agreement, the Credit Agreement 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 the Parent Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(iii)Committed Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, or a continuation of any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Parent Borrower shall use the Committed Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A and such form is hereby approved by the Administrative Agent.

(e)Interest.

(i)Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to default interest, (x) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and (y) each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(ii)Interest on each Alternative Currency Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified the Credit Agreement. Interest on each Alternative Currency Loan shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Credit Agreement 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 Alternative Currency Loans (other than Alternative Currency Loans with respect to SARON) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Alternative Currency Loans as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. All other computations of fees and interest with respect to Alternative Currency Loans determined by reference to SARON 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 Alternative Currency Loan for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loan is made, and shall not accrue on an Alternative Currency Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Alternative Currency Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, 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)Applicable Reference Rates. The provisions in the Credit Agreement with respect to Applicable Reference Rates, including the definition of Applicable Reference Rate, shall apply to Alternative Currency Loans and shall be deemed to apply to SONIA in the case of Loans denominated in Sterling, SARON in the case of Loans denominated in Swiss Francs, and TIBOR in the case of Loans denominated in Yen.
