Replacement Index Clause Samples

The Replacement Index clause defines the procedure for selecting a new reference rate if the original benchmark index used in a contract becomes unavailable or is discontinued. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for choosing an alternative index, such as a widely accepted industry standard or a rate agreed upon by the parties, and may specify how adjustments to payments or calculations should be made to reflect the change. Its core practical function is to ensure continuity and certainty in contractual obligations by providing a clear method for substituting a benchmark index, thereby preventing disputes or disruptions if the original index ceases to exist.

Replacement Index. If the CPI is changed so that the base year differs from that used as of the month in which the Term commences, the CPI will be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the CPI is discontinued or revised during the Term, the government index or computation with which it is replaced will be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the CPI had not been discontinued or revised.
Replacement Index. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in Section B of Part I (Individual Terms), any Replacement Index must satisfy the following criteria:
Replacement Index. Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (a) will be determined with due consideration to the Bank's then-current market practice for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated syndicated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate in each case for borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower, and (b) 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.
Replacement Index. In the event that GAS DAILY, or its successor, ceases publication or the Daily Gas Index otherwise becomes unavailable, the Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree upon a replacement index. If the Parties cannot agree on a substitute methodology and/or publication by the end of the first month for which the replacement index could not be determined, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller shall each prepare a list of three alternative published reference postings of spot prices for Natural Gas delivered in the same geographic area as the Natural Gas Delivery Point. Each list shall set forth the highest priority index first. Each Party shall submit its list to the other within ten (10) days after the end of the first month for which the Gas Price could not be determined. The first index appearing on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇' list that also appears on Seller's list shall constitute the new replacement index effective as of the date that the Parties ceased using GAS DAILY'S Daily Gas Index Price.
Replacement Index. If the PPI or the FERC Oil Pipeline Index is no longer published, the HollyFrontier Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, tariff rates, the Volume Incentive Tariff, Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Roswell Terminal Payment, as applicable. If the HollyFrontier Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 12(e), and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, tariff rates, the Volume Incentive Tariff, Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Roswell Terminal Payment, as applicable.
Replacement Index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if: (i) (A) an Index Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and (B) a Replacement Index Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Index, then such Replacement Index will replace the then-current Index for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Index setting and subsequent Index settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (ii) (A) an Index Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and the Replacement Index Date with respect thereto has already occurred prior to the Reference Time for any setting of the then-current Index and as a result the then-current Index is being determined in accordance with clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of “Replacement Index”; and (B) the Administrative Agent subsequently determines, that (w) Term SOFR and a Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto is or has become available and the Replacement Index Date with respect thereto has occurred, (x) there is currently a market for U.S. dollar-denominated transactions utilizing Term SOFR as an Index and for determining the Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto, (y) Term SOFR is being recommended as the Index for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities by the Relevant Governmental Body and (z) in any event, Term SOFR, the Replacement Index Adjustment with respect thereto and the application thereof is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (as determined by the Administrative Agent), then clause (1) of the definition of “Replacement Index” will, without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, replace such then-current Index for all purposes hereunder and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Index setting and subsequent Index settings on and from the beginning of the next Remittance Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor so long as the Administrative Agent notifies all the parties hereto prior to the commencement of such next Remittance Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor.

In the event that no agreement is reached regarding an alternative pricing method in such a situation, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 10.3. (b) The Parties acknowledge this is a long-term refined products supply agreement and it is their intent for this Agreement to continue to apply if the Products listed in Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Tulsa Refinery during the term of this Agreement as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors. If as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors, all or part of the Products listed in Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Tulsa Refinery, then the Parties agree that the new refined products produced at the Tulsa Refinery shall be made available for delivery to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and this Agreement shall continue to apply to such new refined products. If the Parties are unable to agree on the pricing and other arrangements for such new refined products, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 10.3.

Replacement Index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (provided that, for purposes hereof, any Swap Agreement shall not be deemed to be a “Credit Document”), but without limiting subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 3.1, if the Lender at any time or from time to time determines that (a) LIBOR is unavailable, (b) LIBOR cannot be determined, (c) LIBOR does not adequately reflect the cost to the Lender of making, funding, or maintaining the Revolving Loans, (d) the use of LIBOR has become impracticable or unreliable, (e) LIBOR is no longer representative of the underlying market or economic reality, or (f) it is no longer lawful for the Lender to lend at any rate based on LIBOR (any such determination is hereafter called a “Trigger Event”), or the circumstances permitting an Early Opt-In Election have occurred, then the Lender may elect to designate a substitute interest rate index, which may be Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or an alternate rate index that has been selected by the Lender as the replacement for LIBOR (the “Replacement Index”). If the Lender designates a Replacement Index, the Lender may also determine at such time or from time to time thereafter that a margin adjustment is necessary to produce a comparable interest rate to the interest rate that would have applied based on LIBOR. Upon such determination, the Lender will designate the amount of such margin adjustment (which may be a positive or a negative number) and adjust the Applicable Margin by that amount (and the result will be the “Adjusted Margin”). The Lender will provide notice to the Borrower of the Replacement Index, any margin adjustment, and the Adjusted Margin, as applicable. Commencing with the first interest rate change thereafter, the Replacement Index shall be deemed to be and shall become the operative interest rate index for purposes of this Agreement and any other Credit Documents, and this Agreement shall continue to bear interest on the unpaid principal amount through repayment thereof at the Replacement Index plus the Applicable Margin or the Adjusted Margin, as applicable (subject to (i) any interest rate floor set out in this Agreement and (ii) increase to or by the Default Rate). In any event, the Replacement Index will not be less than the greater of zero percent (0%) per annum or any minimum index floor otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Replacement Index may not necessarily be the Lender’s most favorable lending...
