SECTION 1.Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Agreement.
SECTION 2.    Amendments to the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(b)The defined term “Federal Funds Rate” set forth in Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new defined term is inserted in the appropriate alphabetical order:
“Overnight Bank Funding Rate” means for any day, the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurocurrency borrowings by U.S.-managed banking offices of depository institutions, as such composite rate shall be determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”), as set forth on its public website from time to time, and as published on the next succeeding Business Day as the overnight bank funding rate by the NYFRB (or by such other recognized electronic source (such as Bloomberg) selected by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of displaying such rate); provided, that if such day is not a Business Day, the Overnight Bank Funding Rate for such day shall be such rate on the immediately preceding Business Day; provided, further, that if such rate shall at any time, for any reason, no longer exist, a comparable replacement rate determined by the Administrator at such time (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If the Overnight Bank Funding Rate determined as above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero. The rate of interest charged shall be adjusted as of each Business Day based on changes in the Overnight Bank Funding Rate without notice to the Seller.
(a)    Clause (b) of the definition of “Base Rate” set forth in Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “the Federal Funds Rate” and substituting “the Overnight Bank Funding Rate” therefor.
