If the €STR Reference Rate is not published in respect of a TARGET Settlement Day as specified above, and both an €STR Index Cessation Event and an €STR Index Cessation Effective Date have occurred, the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including such €STR Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to €STR were references to the provisions rate (inclusive of this Agreement any spreads or adjustments) that was recommended as the replacement for €STR by the European Central Bank (or any successor administrator of €STR) and/or by a committee officially endorsed or convened by the European Central Bank (or any successor administrator of €STR) for the purpose of recommending a replacement for €STR (which rate may be required produced by the European Central Bank or another administrator) (the ECB Recommended Rate), provided that, if no such rate has been recommended before the end of the first TARGET Settlement Day following the date on which the €STR Index Cessation Effective Date occurs, then the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including such €STR Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to give effect "€STR" were references to the application Eurosystem Deposit Facility Rate, the rate on the deposit facility which banks may use to make overnight deposits with the Eurosystem, as published on the ECB's Website (the EDFR) on such TARGET Settlement Day plus the arithmetic mean of Condition 4(ethe daily difference between the €STR Reference Rate and the EDFR for each of the 30 TARGET Settlement Days immediately preceding the date on which the €STR Index Cessation Event occurs (the EDFR Spread). Provided further that, if both an ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Event and an ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Effective Date subsequently occur, then the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including that ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to "€STR" were references to the EDFR on such TARGET Settlement Day plus the arithmetic mean of the daily difference between the ECB Recommended Rate and the EDFR for each of the 30 TARGET Settlement Days immediately preceding the date on which the ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Event occurs. (e) If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Bonds which are Exempt Bonds is specified as being other than EURIBOR, XXXXXX, NIBOR or Compounded Daily €STR, the Rate of Interest in respect of such Exempt Bonds will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

If the €STR Reference Rate is not published in respect of a TARGET Settlement Day as specified above, and both an €STR Index Cessation Event and an €STR Index Cessation Effective Date have occurred, the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including such €STR Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to €STR were references to the provisions rate (inclusive of this Agreement any spreads or adjustments) that was recommended as the replacement for €STR by the European Central Bank (or any successor administrator of €STR) and/or by a committee officially endorsed or convened by the European Central Bank (or any successor administrator of €STR) for the purpose of recommending a replacement for €STR (which rate may be required produced by the European Central Bank or another administrator) (the ECB Recommended Rate), provided that, if no such rate has been recommended before the end of the first TARGET Settlement Day following the date on which the €STR Index Cessation Effective Date occurs, then the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including such €STR Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to give effect “€STR” were references to the application Eurosystem Deposit Facility Rate, the rate on the deposit facility which banks may use to make overnight deposits with the Eurosystem, as published on the ECB’s Website (the EDFR) on such TARGET Settlement Day plus the arithmetic mean of Condition 4(ethe daily difference between the €STR Reference Rate and the EDFR for each of the 30 TARGET Settlement Days immediately preceding the date on which the €STR Index Cessation Event occurs (the EDFR Spread). Provided further that, if both an ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Event and an ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Effective Date subsequently occur, then the rate for each TARGET Settlement Day in the relevant Observation Period occurring from and including that ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to “€STR” were references to the EDFR on such TARGET Settlement Day plus the arithmetic mean of the daily difference between the ECB Recommended Rate and the EDFR for each of the 30 TARGET Settlement Days immediately preceding the date on which the ECB Recommended Rate Index Cessation Event occurs. (e) If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Bonds which are Exempt Bonds is specified as being other than, EURIBOR, XXXXXX, NIBOR or Compounded Daily €STR, the Rate of Interest in respect of such Exempt Bonds will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
