1.5 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (iii) immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and (iv) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the monitoring, determination or verification of the unavailability or cessation of LIBOR (or otherany applicable Benchmark), the administration, submission of or any other matter related to SONIA, LIBOR, the BA Rate, the Applicable Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate or adjustment thereto (including any then-current Benchmark, or any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate or adjustment (including any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment) will be similar to, or produce the same value of economic equivalence of, SONIA, the Eurocurrency Rate, the BA Rate, ABR, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR or any other Benchmark or any Benchmark convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any SONIA, LIBOR, the BA Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR or any alternative, comparable or successor rate or adjustment (including any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.

1.7 Calculation of Baskets. If (a) any of the baskets set forth in this Agreement are exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations to LTM Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed fiscal quarter after the last time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under this Agreement, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations or (b) any baskets, is exceeded, any representation or warranty would be untrue or inaccurate, any undertaking would be breached, or any event that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, in each case, solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates, shall not be deemed to be exceeded, untrue, inaccurate, breached, exceeded or so constituted, as applicable, solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

151



which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, (f) any Loans that were to have been continued as SONIA Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected SONIA shall be deemed to have been converted into Loans that bear interest at the Central Bank Rate; provided, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate cannot be determined, then such Loans shall be prepaid in full immediately,
(g) Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as BA Rate Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected BA Rate shall be converted to or continued as Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (h) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Euro that were to have been continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall (at the option of the Parent Borrower) remain outstanding, and shall bear interest at an alternate rate which reflects, as to each Lender, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder.

(b) US Dollar Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, with respect to any Loan or Borrowing denominated in US Dollars:

(i) Replacing USD LIBOR for Term Loans. With respect to any Term Loans, on the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then- current Benchmark with respect to such Term Loans is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If such Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(i) [Reserved].

(ii) Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then- current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer



152



representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of ABR based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR.
(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration 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.
(iv) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including 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 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.
(v) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.
