EURODOLLAR DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE OR INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE. (a) In respect of any Eurodollar Loan, in the event that Agent shall have determined that for Eurodollar Loans, that Dollar deposits in the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan are not available to Agent in the applicable Eurodollar market, or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be, Agent shall promptly give notice of such determination to Borrower and (i) any notice of a conversion of an existing Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed a notice to continue a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) Borrower shall be obligated either to prepay, or with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, to convert to a Base Rate Loan, any outstanding Eurodollar Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. (b) If Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (x) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (y) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate other than the LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then Agent may (in consultation with the Borrower) choose a replacement index for the LIBOR Rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement. Agent and the Borrower shall enter into a mutually agreeable amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate, but no other substantive matters unless agreed to by Borrower, Agent and the requisite Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 10.03), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. 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 Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the replacement index. Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 3.03(b) is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of an Eurodollar Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided however, that if Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. (e) Article IX of the Loan Agreement, The Agent, is hereby amended by adding the new following Section 9.14 at the end of such Article:
