Alternative Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.03(a4.8(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 3.03(a)(i4.8(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the consent of the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 3.03(a)(i4.8(a)(i), (a)(ii), (b)(ic)(i), (b)(iic)(ii) or (c)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders (directly, or through the Administrative Agent) notify notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost 4826-4235-4297, v. 10 to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate; provided that if such determined rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for each Loan bearing interest at the Replacement Rate that has not been identified by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as being subject to a Specified Swap Contract that provides a hedge against interest rate risk. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.034.8(c) including, without limitation, adjustments to the interest rate margins or interest rate benchmark floors as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may request to equalize (to the extent practicable), as of the effective date of such amendment, the sum of the Replacement Rate and any applicable interest rate margin with respect thereto (taking into account applicable currencies and/or interest periods) with the sum of the applicable interest rate being replaced with such Replacement Rate and the interest rate margin applicable thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 11.2), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (c), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).
