(g)Section 3.03 of the Loan Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

 

3.03     Inability to Determine Rates.

 

(a)        If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Term Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, if Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower and Required Lenders shall notify Administrative Agent in writing, that either (a) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (b) syndicated or comparable loans are currently being executed and/or amended to include or adopt a new benchmark rate or rates (including, without limitation, credit or similar adjustments, in each case, to such rate or rates) or (c) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate (or any component thereof) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate (or any component thereof) shall no longer be published for use in determining interest rates for loans (in the case of any of such clauses (a), (b) or (c), an “Alternate Interest Rate Election Event”), then reasonably promptly thereafter Administrative Agent and Borrower may endeavor in good faith to establish an Alternate Rate and, if established, shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Alternate Rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (including, without limitation, operational, term, conforming and other changes as may be reasonably determined by Administrative Agent).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 or any other provision of this Agreement, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of such Alternate Rate is provided to Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that they object to such amendment (which amendment shall not be effective prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day notice period).  To the extent such Alternate Rate is adopted as contemplated hereby, such Alternate Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention; provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such Alternate Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  From such time as an Alternate Interest Rate Election Event has occurred and continuing until an Alternate Rate has been determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph, any conversion or renewal or an Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be automatically converted or renewed as Base Rate Loan; provided that, to the extent such Alternate Interest Rate Election Event is as a result of clause (b) above, then this sentence shall apply during such period only if Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, if at any time the Alternate Rate would be less than the zero, the Alternate Rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

11.22          Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

 

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any hedge agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

 

(a)        In the event a Subject Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

 

(b)        As used in this Section 11.22, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

(i)         “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

 

(ii)        “Subject Entity” means any of the following:

 

(1)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

 

(2)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

 

- 17 -

 

 

(3)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

 

(iii)       “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

 

(iv)       “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

 

(cc)Exhibit C to the Loan Agreement is amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

(dd)Exhibit E to the Loan Agreement is amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
