First Amendment to Credit Agreement
the date on which Borrower shall receive written notice of such change from Administrative Agent); provided, however, if Borrower has not delivered the notice required by such Section but Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Credit Rating has changed, then Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Level at which the Applicable Margin is determined effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Credit Rating has changed.

First Amendment to Credit Agreement
“LIBOR Base Rate” means, subject to the implementation of a Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 3.02(ii), with respect to any LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or a comparable or successor quoting service approved by Administrative Agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Banking Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if as so determined the LIBOR Base Rate (including, without limitation, any Replacement Rate with respect thereto) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. If, for any reason, the rate referred to in the preceding clause (i) does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page), then the LIBOR Base Rate shall be determined by Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in U.S. Dollars would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Banking Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that if as so determined the LIBOR Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 3.02(ii), in the event that a Replacement Rate with respect to the LIBOR Base Rate is implemented, then all references herein to the LIBOR Base Rate shall be deemed to be references to such Replacement Rate.
“PTE” means a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, as any such exemption may be amended from time to time.
“Replacement Rate” has the meaning given that term in Section 3.02(ii).
(b)Section 3.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Section 3.02 Alternate Rate of Interest.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (ii) below, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Base Rate for any Interest Period:
(a)Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Base Rate for such Interest Period;
(b)Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of the LIBOR Base Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein; or
(c)Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of the LIBOR Base Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Banks of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Bank prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Banks shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make

First Amendment to Credit Agreement
additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.02(i) above, if Administrative Agent or Required Banks have made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (a) the circumstances described in Section 3.02(i)(a) or (i)(b) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (b) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. syndicated loan market or (c) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in Dollars in the U.S. syndicated loan market, then Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with Borrower and as determined by Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 3.02(i)(a) or (i)(b), 3.02(ii)(a), 3.02(ii)(b) or 3.02(ii)(c) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) Administrative Agent (or Required Banks through Administrative Agent) notifies Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Banks of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.02(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 12.02), 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) Banking Days of the delivery of such amendment to Banks, written notices from such Banks that in the aggregate constitute Required Banks, with each such notice stating that such Bank objects to such amendment. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (ii), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Banks).
(c)Section 5.18 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended (i) to insert “(a)” before the words “Neither this Agreement” appearing therein and (ii) to add the following new clause (b) immediately after clause (a) appearing therein:
(b) As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.
(d)Section 6.09 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended (i) to delete the word “and” appearing at the end of clause (14) appearing therein; (ii) to change the period appearing at the end of clause (15) appearing therein to a semi-colon; and (iii) to insert the following new clauses (16) and (17) immediately after clause (15) appearing therein:
