immediately, without notice, charge such amounts to the Loan Account). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Borrowers hereby authorize Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrowers, to
charge to the Loan Account (A) on the first day of each quarter (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the first day of each month), all interest accrued during the prior quarter (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is

1.13. Section 2.12. Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
2.12 Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(a) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account
any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs (other than Taxes which shall be governed by Section 16), in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring after
the date hereof, including any Changes in Law and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate.
In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice
from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the
amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)).
(b) In the event that (i) any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the
reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans with interest based on the LIBOR Rate or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates based on the LIBOR
Rate, or (ii) any Lender determines that the interest rate hereunder based on the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding any Loans based upon the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of
such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall transmit such notice to the other Lenders (y) such Loans shall thereafter bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin, and (z) interest based on Daily Three Month LIBOR shall not be available until Lender determines that it is again available.
(c) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative
Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
-14-
(d) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above have arisen and
such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative
Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate will no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a "LIBOR Termination Date"), then the Administrative Agent and
Borrowers shall endeavor (acting reasonably) to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for loans of the type in the United
States at such time. The Administrative Agent and Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in Section 14.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is
provided to the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. Until an amendment reflecting an alternate
rate in accordance with this clause (d) is effective, each Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and
conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and
related matters as described above is implemented. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
