Changes). Any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will apply to the notes for all future Floating Rate Interest Periods.
We will promptly give notice of the determination of the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes to the trustee, the paying agent, the calculation agent and the holders of notes; provided that failure to provide such notice will have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such
determination.
All determinations, decisions, elections and any calculations made by us or our designee for the purposes of determining
the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will be conclusive and binding on the holders of notes, us, the calculation agent, the trustee and the paying agent, absent manifest
error. If made by our designee, such determinations, decisions, elections and calculations will be made after consulting with us, and our designees will not make any such determination, decision, election or calculation to which we object.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the notes, any determinations, decisions, calculations or elections made in accordance with this provision will become effective without consent from the holders of notes or any other
party.
Any determination, decision or election relating to the Benchmark will be made by us on the basis described above. The calculation
agent shall have no liability for not making any such determination, decision or election. In addition, we may designate an entity (which may be our affiliate) to make any determination, decision or election that we have the right to make in
connection with the determination of the Benchmark.
Notwithstanding any other provision of Benchmark Transition Provisions
set forth above, no Benchmark Replacement will be adopted, nor will the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment be applied, nor will any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes be made, if in our determination, the same could reasonably be
expected to prejudice the qualification of the notes as eligible liabilities or loss absorbing capacity instruments for the purposes of the Relevant Rules.
