The Term Loan by the Term Lenders shall be made as either a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBO Rate Loan as the Lead Borrower may request subject to and in accordance with Section 2.02.
iv. Sections 2.02 (a) and 2.02(b) of the Credit Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following substituted in their stead:
(a) Committed Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) and the outstanding portion of the Term Loan shall be either Prime Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, as the Lead Borrower may request subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.02. All Swing Line Loans shall be only Prime Rate Loans. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.02, Borrowings of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time.

Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower.

If the Lead Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan (or Type of the applicable portion of the Term Loan, as the case may be) in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Lead Borrower fails to give a timely notice of a conversion or continuation in a Conversion/Continuation Notice, then the applicable Committed Loans or applicable portion of the Term Loan shall be made as, or converted to, Prime Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Prime Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBO Rate Loans. If the Lead Borrower requests a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice or a conversion to, or continuation of, LIBO Rate Loans in a Conversion/Continuation 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 herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBO Rate Loan.”
