The Borrower acknowledges and understands that (i) (USD) LIBOR is established, issued and regulated by third parties, and that its continuing existence and ongoing viability as a source and basis for establishing contractual interest rates is entirely outside the control of the Administrative Agent (ii) regulatory agencies in the United States and worldwide have advised that LIBOR may be discontinued after 2021, or possibly sooner, (iii) in order to address the possibility of LIBOR discontinuance, the terms of any proposed loan(s) referenced herein may include provisions (modeled after recommendations issued by the Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rates Committee, or otherwise) that contemplate the replacement of LIBOR as a basis for establishing the 


-13-









applicable interest rate for such loans, and (iv) should the actual discontinuance of LIBOR occur, any replacement index may be materially different than LIBOR, and necessitate substantive changes (arising from such differences) to the manner in which the applicable interest rate for the proposed loan(s) is calculated and applied.  Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower has knowingly and voluntarily requested and/or accepted a LIBOR pricing proposal from the Administrative Agent, accepting any inherent risks associated with the utilization and any subsequent discontinuance of LIBOR, and hereby waives any claims or defenses against the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.  
7.1.3    A new Section 2.9.7 is hereby added after Section 2.9.6, which shall read as follows:
2.9.7        Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.  
(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted (or otherwise made available) such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.9.7 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.  Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment and related actions contemplated in this Section 2.9.7.
(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any party hereto for any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes it makes in good faith.


-14-









(c)  Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will endeavor to promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.9.7, including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error, and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto (except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.9.7) and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.  
(d) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke (as applicable) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request (as applicable) into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to a loan that shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
