“Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, Etc. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the LIBOR Rate base rate (“Index”) (i) has been or imminently will be discontinued, (ii) is no longer an industry-accepted reference rate for loans of a similar type to the Loans and/or has been superseded by an alternative reference rate, or (iii) is no longer representative or may not be used pursuant to a public statement by the administrator of the Index or other regulatory authority (e.g., the Federal Reserve), in each case with respect to any type of loan or transaction, then Lender may select an alternative reference rate, which may reflect adjustments to the related spread or margin (collectively, the “Substitute Index Rate”), to be used in lieu of the LIBOR Rate-based interest rate set forth in the Note and/or this Agreement (the “Pre-Substitute Rate”).

 

Lender and Borrower acknowledge that the discontinuation of the Index is a future event over which neither Lender nor Borrower has influence but which will necessarily affect the Pre-Substitute Rate. Accordingly, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to select a Substitute Index Rate that Lender in good faith believes is a practical means of preserving the parties’ intent relative to the economics of the Pre-Substitute Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that, initially and/or over time, the Substitute Index Rate will differ from the Pre-Substitute Rate. In selecting the Substitute Index Rate, Lender shall consider to what extent and the manner in which industry-accepted substitutes for the Index have been established, and the parties acknowledge that different Substitute Index Rates may be selected for different types of loans and transactions. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not be liable in any manner for its selection of a Substitute Index Rate, provided that Lender makes such selection in good faith.

 

The Substitute Index Rate shall be used in lieu of the Pre-Substitute Rate, and all references in this Agreement to the Pre-Substitute Rate shall be deemed to refer to the Substitute Index Rate, effective as of the date specified by Lender in a written notice given by Lender to Borrower. To the extent practicable, such notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the effective date. The Substitute Index Rate shall remain in effect from the effective date set forth in such notice until the later of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and the Term Loan A Maturity Date, as such may be extended, unless such an instance occurs where the Substitute Index Rate is no longer available, in which case the provisions of this section will again apply for purposes of replacing the Substitute Index Rate.”
