substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Purchaser determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as Purchaser determines to be necessary in its sole discretion).

(c) Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting the definition of “LIBOR Floor” in its entirety and any and all references thereto.

(d) The Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Sections 30 and 31 immediately following Section 29 thereof:

Section 30. Alternative Rate. If prior to the related Purchase Date, Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month LIBOR, (ii) One-Month LIBOR is no longer in existence,(iii) the administrator of One-Month LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which One-Month LIBOR shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided, that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Purchaser, that will continue to provide One-Month LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (iv) mortgage loan financing facilities similar to this facility, currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 30, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace One-Month LIBOR, Purchaser shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Discount Rate from the date specified in such notice, which may be the Scheduled Unavailability Date, for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Purchaser, shall be replaced by an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated mortgage loan financing facilities for such benchmark rates, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Purchaser from time to time in its sole discretion and may be periodically updated) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”). Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Purchaser, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion. In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Purchaser shall have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Principal Agreement, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Section 31. ISDA Stay Protocol. Purchaser and Seller each (i) confirms that prior to the date hereof it has adhered to the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”), and (ii) agrees that the terms of the Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and for such purposes this Agreement shall be deemed a “Protocol Covered Agreement” and each party shall be deemed to have the same status as a “Regulated Entity” and/or an “Adhering Party” as applicable to it under the Protocol. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “this Agreement” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or provided by one to the other. In addition, Purchaser and Seller agree that the terms of this paragraph shall be incorporated into any related covered affiliate credit enhancements, with all references to Purchaser replaced by references to the covered affiliate support provider.
