(c) The establishment of the Benchmark by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate and the Interest Payment Amount on the Series 2024-MSRVF1 Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
(d) For purposes of calculating the Required Reserve Amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement, the “Pricing Rate” with respect to any “MRA Payment Date” thereunder will be calculated using the Benchmark as reported by the Administrative Agent for the immediately preceding Payment Date.
(e) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by Administrative Agent to the Issuer without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to any other Transaction Document. 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 representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Issuer may revoke any Funding Request to be made or continued that would bear interest by reference to such then-current Benchmark until the Issuer’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark.

(g) Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuer and the Calculation Agent of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(h) Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee do not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to Term SOFR or any Benchmark or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereof (including any Benchmark Replacement), or any calculation, component definition thereof or rate referenced in the definition thereof, including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) implemented pursuant to this Section 7, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, and (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to this Section 7, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, Term SOFR or any Benchmark or have the same volume or liquidity as did Term SOFR or any Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Issuer acknowledges that the discontinuation of Term SOFR or any Benchmark and any alternative, successor or replacement reference rate may result in a mismatch between the reference rate referenced herein and other financial instruments, including potentially those that are intended as hedges. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Term SOFR, any Benchmark or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, with all determinations of such Term SOFR, any Benchmark or such alternative, successor or replacement rate by Administrative Agent to be conclusive, absent manifest error. Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Term SOFR, any Benchmark or any such alternative, successor or replacement rate, in each case pursuant to the terms herein (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), and shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
(i) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7, 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 7.
