SECTION 1.Certain Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

SECTION 2.Amendments to the Agreement.  The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

2.1Section 1.26 of the Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:

Section 1.26Successor CDOR, Euro-Rate or LMIR Index

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if the Administrator determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event has occurred with respect to CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR, the Administrator and the Borrowers may

amend this Agreement to replace CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR with a Benchmark Replacement for U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable; and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrator has provided such proposed amendment to all Group Agents, so long as the Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Group Agents comprising the Majority Group Agents. Until the Benchmark Replacement with respect to CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR, as applicable, is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR, as applicable; provided, however, that during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any pending selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Loan bearing interest by reference to CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR that has not yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate with respect to such Loan, and such Loan shall bear interest by reference to the Base Rate, and (ii) all outstanding Loans bearing interest by reference to CDOR, the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall automatically be (A) if in U.S. Dollars, converted to the Base Rate at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Administrator cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Loan under the Euro-Rate or LMIR) and (B) if in Canadian Dollars, converted to a Loan in U.S. Dollars under the Base Rate in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loan at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Administrator cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Loan under CDOR).

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator 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 Transaction 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.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Group Agents of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or the Group Agents pursuant to this Section 1.26 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 1.26.
