"Section 2.03.C. Upon the occurrence of any of the following as determined by Bank (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error):

(a)     by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR,

(b)     a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of LIBOR announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR, permanently or indefinitely,

(c)     a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBOR, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBOR or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for LIBOR, which states that the administrator of LIBOR has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR permanently or indefinitely,

(d)     a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR announcing that the LIBOR is no longer representative, or

(e)     business loans in the market are being executed or amended to incorporate or adopt a LIBOR replacement.

The Benchmark Replacement Rate will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Bank has provided notice to Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrower and Bank may implement any amendments to this Agreement as may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of the Benchmark Replacement Rate.

Bank does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and Bank shall have no liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of "LIBOR" or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for, or successor to LIBOR (including, without limitation (i) any Benchmark Replacement Rate or related adjustment, or (ii) whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may be adjusted hereunder, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR)."

(g)     Mandatory Principal Repayments. In order to reflect the agreement of the parties that proceeds from the sale of the Borrower's assets be paid to the Lender and applied first to the Term Note and then to the Revolving Note, a new Section 2.11 is hereby added immediately following Section 2.10, as follows:

"Section 2.11.     One hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from any sale or other disposition of any U.S. Real Estate Asset of the Borrower (other than as provided below with respect to any sale or disposition of the NC Property on or prior to June 30, 2021) shall, within one business day of receipt thereof, be paid to, or retained by (if applicable), Bank and, absent the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be applied: (a) first, to the remaining installments of principal under the Term Loan, in the inverse order of maturity, until the Term Loan has been paid in full; and (b) second, in repayment of the advances and the other Obligations then due and payable under the Revolving Loan until paid in full. The Credit Limit shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of any funds applied to the Revolving Note pursuant to clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver an amended and restated Revolving Note to reflect any such reduction if requested by the Bank. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be construed to constitute consent to any transaction that is not expressly permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No partial prepayment of the Term Loan will change the due dates or the amount of the principal payments otherwise required hereunder and under the Term Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower consummates the sale of the NC Property on or before June 30, 2021, Borrower shall be required to pay to the Bank the lesser of (x) fifty percent (50%) of Net Cash Proceeds from the sale thereof and (y) $2,000,000. For avoidance of doubt, no Yield Maintenance Amount shall be due or payable with respect to any amounts required to be prepaid under this Section 2.11."

(k)     Modification of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Requirement.
