Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if:(i) (A) an Indexa Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and (B) a Benchmark Replacement Index Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current IndexBenchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement Index will replace the then-current IndexBenchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such IndexBenchmark setting and subsequent IndexBenchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as expressly set forth herein), or.

(ii)

(A) an Index Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and the Replacement Index Date with respect thereto has already occurred prior to the Reference Time for any setting of the then-current Index and as a result the then-current Index is being determined in accordance with clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of “Replacement Index”; and (B) the Administrative Agent subsequently determines, that (w) Term SOFR and a Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto are or have become available and the Replacement Index Date with respect thereto has occurred, (x) there is currently a market for U.S. dollar-denominated transactions utilizing Term SOFR as an Index and for determining the Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto, (y) Term SOFR is being recommended as the Index for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities by the Relevant Governmental Body and (z) in any event, Term SOFR, the Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto and the application thereof is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (as determined by the Administrative Agent), then clause (1) of the definition of “Replacement Index” will, without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, replace such then-current Index for all purposes hereunder and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Index setting and subsequent Index settings on and from the beginning of the next Remittance Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor so long as the Administrative Agent notifies all the parties hereto prior to the commencement of such next Remittance Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor.

In connection with the implementation ofor administration of Term SOFR or a Benchmark Replacement Index, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Index Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Index Conforming Changes will become effective without requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(iii)

(e) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify all the parties hereto in writing in advance (if feasible) of (i) any occurrence of (A) an Indexa Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and (B) the Benchmark Replacement Index Date with respect thereto, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Index, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Index Conforming Changes.

Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(ii)

the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Remittance Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Advance, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods). Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10(f).
