Common use of Acknowledgement of LIBOR Replacement Clause in Contracts

Acknowledgement of LIBOR Replacement. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting LIBOR. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, or earlier, LIBOR may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. In the event that LIBOR is no longer available as set forth in this Section 1.17 or in the event of certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 3.6, such provisions provide mechanisms for determining an alternative, successor or replacement reference rate. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.17, will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
