(London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period for deposit in U.S. Dollars, with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period, divided by (ii) a percentage equal to 100% minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves and without benefit of credits for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time) applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of Eurocurrency liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D); provided, that in the event the rate referred to in clause (i) above shall be

less than fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum, then the Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that the rate referred to in clause (i) above shall be deemed to be fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum; provided, further, that if the rate referred to in clause (i) above is not available at any such time for any reason, then the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.16 herein.

2.The definition of “Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by substituting “$65,000,000.00” in place of the reference to “$50,000,000.00” therein.

If, on a particular date (the “Determination Date”) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:

the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
