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 any reference rate referred to herein 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 (including any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(i)    Borrowings of Alternative Currency Loans. To request a Borrowing (other than a continuation, which is governed by Section 2(e)(ii)) of Global Revolving Loans that are Alternative Currency Loans, the relevant Borrower shall notify the
CHAR1\1852382v1


Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that if the applicable 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,” (A) 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, (B) the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Global Revolving Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them, and (C) not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Global Revolving Lenders. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and (x) signed by the Parent Borrower or (y) in the case of Borrowings by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, signed by the Parent Borrower or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as specified by the Parent Borrower by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement: (1) the applicable Borrower requesting such Borrowing (and be signed on behalf of such Borrower); (2) the Class of the requested Borrowing; (3) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; (4) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (5) in the case of a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; (6) the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement; and (7) the currency of such Borrowing (which shall be in an Alternative Currency). If the applicable Borrowing is of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans but no Interest Period is specified with respect thereto, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Global Revolving Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Global Revolving Lender’s Global Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
(ii)    Continuations of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans.
(A)    Each Borrowing of Global Revolving Loans that are Alternative Currency Loans initially shall be of the type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a Borrower may elect to continue Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2(e)(ii). A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Global Revolving Lenders holding such Borrowing, and the Global Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may not (1) elect to convert the currency in which any such Alternative Currency Loans are denominated, or (2) elect an Interest Period for Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans that does not comply with this Agreement.
(B)    To make an election pursuant to this Section 2(e)(ii)(A), a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2(e)(i) if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written
CHAR1\1852382v1


Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower.
(C)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with this Section 2(e)(ii): (1) the Borrowing of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies; (2) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and (3) the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans after giving effect to such election. If any such Interest Election Request does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(D)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Global Revolving Lender of the details thereof and of such Global Revolving Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans.
(E)    If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided in the Credit Agreement, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall automatically continue as an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Parent Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no Borrowing of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan having an Interest Period in excess of one month may be made or continued.
(F)    No Alternative Currency Loan may be converted into or continued as a Global Revolving Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
(iii)    Conforming Changes. With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate or any Alternative Currency Term Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right 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.
(iv)    Borrowing Requests; Interest Election Requests. Any Borrowing Request with respect to the Borrowing of any Alternative Currency Loan shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), and shall be appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (or, in the case of a Borrowing by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, signed by the Parent Borrower or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as specified by the Parent Borrower by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent). Any Interest Election Request with respect to any continuation of any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the
CHAR1\1852382v1


Administrative Agent), and shall be appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the relevant Borrower.
(f)    Interest.
(i)    Subject to Section 2.15(c) of the Credit Agreement: (A) 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; and (B) 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.
(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 hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any debtor relief law.
(g)     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 Loans for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loans is made, and shall not accrue on an Alternative Currency Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loans or such portion is paid; provided that any Alternative Currency Loans 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.
(h)    Successor Rates. The provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing the replacement of a current Successor Rate for a currency shall be deemed to apply to Alternative Currency Loans and SONIA, TIBOR, SARON and EURIBOR, as applicable, and the related defined terms shall be deemed to include Sterling, Yen, Swiss Francs and Euros and SONIA, TIBOR, SARON and EURIBOR, as applicable.
