Any reference in the Purchase Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction Documents to the London interbank market, London interbank eurodollar market or other analogous or similar term shall be disregarded and, to the extent that such reference operates as a limitation on, or qualification of, the applicability of another provision, such limitation or qualification will be deemed removed.

Section 1.04Term SOFR Not Determinable.
(a) If prior to the commencement of any Calendar Quarter, the Required Holders determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for such Calendar Quarter, then the Required Holders shall give notice thereof to the Company as promptly as practicable and, until the Required Holders notify the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Notes shall bear interest calculated in accordance with the definition of Interest Rate but using the Prime Rate instead of Term SOFR.
(b) If at any time the Required Holders determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04(a) have not arisen but the Term SOFR Administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Term SOFR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Required Holders and the Company shall endeavor in good faith to establish an alternate rate of interest to Term SOFR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time and, upon the Required Holders and the Company agreeing upon such alternate rate of interest, and the Required Holders and the Company shall enter into an amendment to the Notes to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to the Notes as may be applicable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.04(b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in
clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 3.04(b), only to the extent Term SOFR for such Calendar Quarter is not available or published at such time on a current basis), Section 3.04(a) shall be applicable.
