practicable, the all-in Discount based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Discount based on LIBOR in effect prior to its replacement. (ii) The Buyer and the Seller shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Buyer, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. (iii) Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (A) the effects of the transition from LIBOR to the replacement index and (B) yield- or risk-based differences between LIBOR and the replacement index. (iv) Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 1(g) is effective, Discount with respect to any Purchased Receivable determined with reference to LIBOR will continue to be determined with reference to LIBOR; provided however, that if the Buyer determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, Discount with each Purchased Receivable shall automatically begin to be determined with reference to the Base Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.
