(b)the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors certifying that such inadequacy is the result of circumstances affecting the lending market generally and is not directly and solely the result of circumstances unique to such Lender or Lenders,
then, in each case, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Guarantors and each Lender.
Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and the Guarantors, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice.

CHANGES TO THE LENDER
CHANGES TO THE LENDER
Part I
1.Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender
1.1 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, the Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to the New Lender for:
1.1.1 the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents or any other documents;
1.1.2 the financial condition of any Obligor;
1.1.3 the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents; or
1.1.4 the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Transaction Document or any other document,
and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.
2.Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:
1.2.1 has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Transaction Document; and
1.2.2 will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Transaction Documents or any Commitment is in force.
3.Nothing in any Transaction Document obliges the Existing Lender to:
1.3.1 accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or assumed under Clause 22 (Changes to the Lender); or
1.3.2 support any Losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.
4.Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower
The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send the Borrower and the Guarantors a copy of that Transfer Certificate.
5.Disclosure of information
5.1 The Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:
#4858-0589-9649v12
- 67 -
5.1.1 to (or through) whom the Lender assigns (or may potentially assign) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;
5.1.2 with (or through) whom the Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or
5.1.3 to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,
any information about any Obligor or the Borrower Parent and the Transaction Documents as the Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to clauses 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality undertaking in substantially the form of Clause 34 (Confidentiality).
6.Procedure for assignment and assumption
6.1 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions of assignment), an assignment and assumption shall become effective when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph 6.2 below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.
6.2 The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender upon its completion of all "know your customer" or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.
6.3 On the Transfer Date:
6.3.1 to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to assign its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from obligations towards one another under the Transaction Documents arising after the Transfer Date and their respective rights against one another under the Transaction Documents arising after the Transfer Date shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");
6.3.2 the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Borrower and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the Existing Lender;

6.3.4 the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".
