ARTICLE 8
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 8.01 Euro-Dollar Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
(a) | If on any date on which a Euro-Dollar Rate would otherwise be determined, the Agent shall have determined (after consultation with the Borrower) that: |
(i) | adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Dollar Rate, or |
(ii) | a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Dollar Rate, |
then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 8.01(c) below.
(b) | If at any time: |
(i) | any Bank shall have determined that the making, maintenance or funding of any Euro-Dollar Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Bank in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or |
(ii) | Banks having 50% or more of either the aggregate Commitments or the aggregate principal amount of the affected Loans advise the Agent that such Euro-Dollar Rate, as determined by the Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of the establishment or maintenance of any such Euro-Dollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period, or |
(iii) | any Bank shall have determined that after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Euro-Dollar Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Dollar Rate applies, respectively, are not available to such Bank with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, |
then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 8.01(c).
(c) | In the case of any event specified in subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in subsection (b) above, such Bank or Banks, as applicable, shall promptly so notify the Agent and describe the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice to the other Banks and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Banks, in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (ii) such affected Banks, in the case of such notice given by such Banks, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Dollar Rate shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such affected Banks shall have later notified the Agent, of the Agent's or such affected Banks', as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination under subsection (a) above and the Borrower has previously notified the Agent of its selection of, |
conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Dollar Loan and such has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of a rate based on the Base Rate otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any affected Banks notify the Agent and the Borrower of a determination under subsection (b), the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower's indemnification obligations under Section 2.14, as to any Euro-Dollar Loan of the affected Banks, on the date specified in such notice either convert the Loans of the affected Banks to the rate based on the Base Rate otherwise available with respect to such Loans or prepay such Loans in accordance with Section 2.12. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, including, for the avoidance of doubt, a failure to make an election under Section 8.05(a) hereof, such affected Loans shall automatically be converted to the rate based on the Base Rate otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.
(d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.01, neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be permitted to make a claim to the Borrower under this Section 8.01 unless the Agent or such Bank is making similar claims against other borrowers of the Agent or such Bank to the extent such borrowers are similarly situated to the Borrower. |
Section 8.02 Increased Costs.
(a) | If any Change in Law shall: |
(i) | impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Bank (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Euro-Dollar Rate) or any LC Issuing Bank; |
(ii) | subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or |
(iii) | impose on any Bank, any LC Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; |
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Bank, any LC Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any
Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) | If any Bank or any LC Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Bank, or such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank or such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank or such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. |
(c) | A certificate of a Bank or an LC Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank or such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's holding company, as the case may be, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. |
(d) | Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or any LC Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.02 will not constitute a waiver of such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank or an LC Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 8.02 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank's or such LC Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period |
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) | Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.02 to the contrary, neither any Bank nor any LC Issuing Bank shall be permitted to make a claim to the Borrower under this Section 8.02 unless the Agent or such Bank is making similar claims against other borrowers of the Agent or such Bank to the extent such borrowers are similarly situated to the Borrower. |
Section 8.03 Taxes.
(a) | For purposes of this Section 8.03, the term "Bank" includes the LC Issuing Banks and the term "applicable Law" includes FATCA. |
(b) | Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Financing Document shall be without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. |
(c) | The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. |
(d) | The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 8.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
(e) | Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that an Obligor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any of the |
Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Financing Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Financing Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 8.03.
(f) | As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 8.03, such Obligor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. |
(g) | Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Financing Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 8.03(g)(i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. |
(i) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, |
(A) | any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; |
(B) | any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: |
(w) | in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; |
(x) | executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; |
(y) | in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or |
(z) | to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner of a relevant payment made under any Financing Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form |
of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) | any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and |
(D) | if a payment made to a Bank under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Amendment Effective Date. |
Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) | If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 8.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the |
relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8.03 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.03, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8.03 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) | Each party's obligations under this Section 8.03 shall survive the resignation of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction and discharge of all obligations. |
Section 8.04 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Bank becomes an affected Bank under Section 8.01 or requests compensation under Section 8.02, or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Official Body for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.03, then such Bank shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to one of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate the event with respect to the affected Bank under Section 8.01 or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans.
(a) If the obligation of any Bank to make, or continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.01 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 with respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, and the Borrower, by at least five Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, has elected that the provisions of this Section 8.05(a) shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, subject to Borrower's indemnification obligations to any such Bank under Section 2.14, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks). If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan that was a Euro‑Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks; provided that any such Bank shall be obligated to provide such notice when such circumstances no longer exist.
(b) If (i) any Bank becomes an affected Bank under Section 8.01 or has demanded compensation under Section 8.02 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, or (ii) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay any Taxes or other amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.03, and the Borrower, by at least five Business Days' prior notice to the Banks through the Agent, has elected that the provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall apply to all of the Banks, then the Borrower shall, on the fifth Business Day following such notice, prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan of each Bank, together with accrued interest thereon and amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.
Section 8.06 Substitution of Banks.
If (a) any Bank becomes an affected Bank under Section 8.01 or has demanded compensation under Section 8.02, (b) the Borrower has become obligated to pay any Taxes or other amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.03 (such Bank, in either clause (a) or (b), an “Increased Cost Bank”), (c) any Bank has become a Defaulting Bank and has failed to cure its default within five days after the Borrower's request that it cure such default or (d) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent contemplated by Sections 9.05(b) to 9.05(f), inclusive, the consent of Required Banks shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Banks (each a “Non-Consenting Bank”) whose consent is required has not been obtained, in each case, then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Bank, Defaulting Bank or Non-Consenting Bank (each a “Selling Bank”), the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Agent, to seek one or more banks or other institutions satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (collectively, the “Purchasing Banks”) willing to purchase the Selling Bank's Loans, its participation interests in any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans and assume the Commitment of the Selling Bank, all on the terms specified in this Section 8.06. The Selling Bank shall be obligated (and hereby irrevocably agrees) to sell its Loans and its participation interests in any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans to such Purchasing Bank or Banks (which may include one or more of the Banks) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(c) within 5 days after receiving notice from the Borrower requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the outstanding principal amount of Loans held by the Selling Bank and any amounts funded by the Selling Bank with respect to its participation interests in unpaid Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans, plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to but excluding the date of sale. In connection with any such sale, and as a condition thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Selling Bank all fees accrued for its account hereunder to but excluding the date of such sale, plus, if demanded by the Selling Bank at least two Business Days prior to such sale, (i) the amount of any indemnity which would be due to the Selling Bank under Section 2.14 if the Borrower had prepaid the outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans of the Selling Bank on the date of such sale and (ii) any additional compensation, Taxes or other amounts accrued for such Selling Bank's account under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as applicable, to but excluding, said date (it being understood that the Selling Bank shall retain its right to be compensated after the date of such sale for any such accrued amounts remaining unpaid) and shall pay to the Agent the administrative fee referred to in Section 9.06(c). Upon such sale, the Purchasing Bank or Banks shall assume the Commitment of the Selling Bank, and the Selling Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and, such Purchasing Bank shall be a Bank party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an Assignee hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment equal to the Commitment of the Selling Bank. Upon the consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 8.06, the Selling Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, each Purchasing Bank receives a new Note. In the event such Selling Bank is a Non-Consenting Bank, each Purchasing Bank
shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Selling Bank was a Non-Consenting Bank. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Selling Bank and the termination of such Selling Bank's Commitments, if any, such Selling Bank shall no longer constitute a “Bank” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Selling Bank to indemnification hereunder and other rights of such Selling Bank which pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement survive shall survive as to such Selling Bank. If the Selling Bank is also an LC Issuing Bank, its obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit shall terminate concurrently with such sale and its status as an LC Issuing Bank (but not its right to indemnification or such other rights hereunder) shall terminate when the LC Liabilities relating to all Letters of Credit issued by it have been reduced to zero or have been fully cash collateralized or supported by other letters of credit, in each case, in a manner satisfactory to the LC Issuing Bank.
(l) Amendments to Section 9.05; Amendments and Waivers. Section 9.05 is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Loan Document” and replacing it with “Financing Document”, and by adding the following language to the end thereof:
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of a Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.”
(m) Amendments to Section 9.06; Successors and Assigns.
(i)Section 9.06(c) is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Section 8.04” at the end thereof and replacing it with “Section 8.03”.
(ii)Section 9.06(e) is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Section 8.03 or Section 8.04” and replacing it with “Section 8.02 or Section 8.03”, by deleting the reference to “Section 8.02, Section 8.03 or Section 8.04” and replacing it with “Section 8.04” and by deleting “requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or”.
(n) Amendment to Section 9.12; Survival. Section 9.12 is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Section 8.03, Section 8.04,” and replacing it with “Section 8.02, Section 8.03,”.
(o) Amendment to Section 9.13; Patriot Act Notice. Section 9.13 is hereby amended by adding the following language to the end thereof:
“Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Bank's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 as hereafter amended or replaced, or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Obligors, their Affiliates or their agents, the Financing Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity
verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under such regulations or such other Laws.”
(p) Amendment to Schedule 1.1(A)-Commitments of Lenders. Schedule 1.1(A)-Commitments of Lenders to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 1.1(A)-Commitments of Lenders to this Second Amendment.
(q) Amendment to Schedule 2-Pricing Grid. Schedule 2-Pricing Grid to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 2-Pricing Grid to this Second Amendment and any change in pricing shall be effective as of the date of this Second Amendment.

II | Greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.0, but less than 1.50 to 1.0 | 0.20% | 0.30% | 1.30% |

VI | Greater than or equal to 3.00 | 0.35% | 1.15% | 2.15% |
For purposes of determining the Facility Fee Rate, Base Rate Margin and Euro-Dollar Margin:
(a) The Facility Fee Rate, Base Rate Margin and Euro-Dollar Margin shall be recomputed based on the Leverage Ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date. Any increase or decrease in the Facility Fee Rate, Base Rate Margin and Euro-Dollar Margin computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the third Business Day following the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is delivered under Section 5.01(c).
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Banks determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Banks, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent, any Bank or any LC Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, any Bank or the LC Issuing Banks, as the case may be, under any other provision in this Agreement. The Borrower's obligation under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other obligations hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the table above, if the Leverage Ratio for any testing period is negative or if a failure by the Borrower to deliver a Compliance Certificate as required under Section 5.01(c) has become an Event of Default under Section 6.01(c) and such failure to deliver a Compliance Certificate is continuing, Level VI pricing shall apply.
