Common use of Rates; LIBO Screen Rate Notification Clause in Contracts

Rates; LIBO Screen Rate Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the Relevant Rate, which, in the case of Dollars is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate 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 (the “FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator, the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”), announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the IBA for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. In March 2021, both the FCA and IBA issued statements confirming that the publication of Pounds Sterling, CHF, Euros and JPY London interbank offered rate (all tenors) and Dollar LIBO Rate (1-Week and 2-Month) shall cease at the end of 2021. The IBA stated it will publish the remaining Dollar LIBO Rate tenors (1-, 3-, 6- and 12-Month) until the end of June 2023. As a result, commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate for the Loans denominated in Dollars. 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 the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 2.11(c)(i)(A)(x) or a Benchmark Transition Event, as applicable, or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.11(c) provides the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative BUSINESS.29745768.5 Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.11(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on a Eurocurrency Loan or an RFR Loan is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Relevant Rate” or “Daily Simple RFR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.11(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt- in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.11(c), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the London interbank offered rate (or another applicable index rate) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or another applicable index rate) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. . The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, any Relevant Rate, any Daily Simple RFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, any Relevant Rate, any Daily Simple RFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, any Relevant Rate, any Daily Simple RFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, any Relevant Rate, any Daily Simple RFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
