Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of BSBY Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (1) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans or of any conversion of BSBY Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans.

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable BSBY Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(ii) Conforming Changes. With respect to BSBY 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 Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(iii) Committed Loan Notice. For purposes of a Borrowing of BSBY Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, or a continuation of a BSBY Rate Loan, the Borrower shall use the Committed Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(iv) Voluntary Prepayments of BSBY Rate Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the BSBY Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement); provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of BSBY Rate Loans.
(e) Interest.
(i) Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to default interest, (A) each BSBY Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the BSBY Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (B) each BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the BSBY Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(ii) Interest on each BSBY Rate Loan and each BSBY Daily Floating Rate 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.
(f) Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the BSBY Rate or the BSBY Daily Floating Rate, as applicable) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest with respect to BSBY Rate Loans and BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans 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 Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing payments generally, 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.
(g) Inability to Determine Rates; Successor Rates.
(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2(g), those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under the Credit Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.
(ii) Inability to Determine Rate. If in connection with any request for a BSBY Rate Loan or a BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which

determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2(g)(iii) and the circumstances under clause (x) of Section 2(g)(iii) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, or (B) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Rate Loan or a BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such BSBY Rate Loan or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (1) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain BSBY Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to BSBY Rate Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans, BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, or Interest Periods), and (2) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the BSBY Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (B) of this Section, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (1) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of BSBY Rate Loans or BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, as applicable (to the extent of the affected BSBY Rate Loans, BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans, or Interest Periods) 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 and (2) any outstanding BSBY Rate Loans and BSBY Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period or payment period, as applicable.
(iii) Successor Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY, including, without limitation, because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(y) Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or Bloomberg or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, or that such interest periods or BSBY Screen Rate have failed to comply with the International Organization of Securities Commission (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, provided,

that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of BSBY after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”):
(1) Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and
(2) Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment;
provided that, if initially BSBY is replaced with the rate contained in clause (2) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment.
If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, (A) if the Administrative Agent determines that neither of the alternatives set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2(g)(iii)(x) or 2(g)(iii)(y) of this Appendix A have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2(g)(iii) at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For

the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Credit Agreement, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.50%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.50% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein 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; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
