2. Terms Applicable to Alternative Currency Loans. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereto agree as follows:
(a) Impacted Alternative Currencies. (i) No Impacted Alternative Currency shall be considered a currency for which there is a published LIBOR rate, and (ii) any request for a new Loan denominated in an Impacted Alternative Currency, or to continue an existing Loan denominated in an Impacted Alternative Currency, shall be deemed to be a request for a new Loan bearing interest at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable; provided, that, to the extent any Loan bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate is outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the
Eurocurrency Rate until the end of the current Interest Period or payment period applicable to such Loan unless, in the case of a Loan that bears interest at a daily floating rate, such daily floating rate is no longer representative or being made available, in which case such Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as the case may be, immediately upon the effectiveness of this Agreement.
(b) References to Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents.
(i) References to the Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are not specifically addressed herein (other than the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loan) shall be deemed to include Alternative Currency Daily Rates, Alternative Currency Term Rates, and Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable.
(ii) For purposes of any requirement for the Borrower to compensate Lenders for losses in the Credit Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Alternative Currency Loan on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), references to the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to include any relevant interest payment date or payment period for an Alternative Currency Loan.
(c) Interest Rates. 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 the rates in the definitions of “Alternative Currency Daily Rate” or “Alternative Currency Term Rate” 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 or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.
(d) Borrowings and Continuations of Alternative Currency Loans. In addition to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement:
(i) Alternative Currency Loans. Each Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, and each continuation of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Designated Borrower) irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Parent Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the name of the Borrower (which shall be the Parent Borrower or a permitted Designated Borrower). If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Tranche in a Loan Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, then the Loan Notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing under the Dollar Tranche if the request is for a Borrowing in Dollars and the Alternative Currency Tranche if the request is for a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if
the Parent Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement, no Alternative Currency Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency or in a different Tranche, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Alternative Currency Loan and reborrowed in the other currency or reborrowed in a different Tranche.
(ii) Conforming Changes. With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate and 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.
(iii) Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans, or a continuation of any Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Parent Borrower shall use the Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A and such form is hereby approved by the Administrative Agent.
(e) Interest.
(i) Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to default interest, (x) 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 applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and (y) 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 applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(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 on each Alternative Currency Loan shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Credit Agreement before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any debtor relief law.
(f) 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 Loan for the day on which the Alternative Currency Loan is made, and shall not accrue on an Alternative Currency Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Alternative
Currency Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Alternative Currency Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a) 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.
