“(a) Temporary Inability. If (x) prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing or, if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing of a Class or (y) at any time for any RFR Borrowing or, if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”):
(i)the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark for the Affected Currency (including, without limitation, because the applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period (if applicable); or
(ii)the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders of such Class of Commitments that the Benchmark for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period (if applicable) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (if applicable),
and, in each case, the provisions of Section 2.13(c) are not applicable, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected Lenders by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter. Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any obligation of such Lender (x) to make RFR Borrowings or, if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, SOFR Borrowings, (y) if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, to make or continue SOFR Borrowings or (z) to convert ABR Borrowings to SOFR Borrowings shall be suspended, (ii) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and, in each case, unless prepaid, (x) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Syndicated Borrowing shall be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated ABR Borrowing and (y) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing (and, upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), the resulting ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Currency (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent), (iii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, any Borrowing Request that requests a SOFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iv) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing denominated in
4
the Affected Currency shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan in any Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.13(a) with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan, then (1) if any such SOFR Loan is denominated in Dollars, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day, (2) if any such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Foreign Currency, such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of this subclause (B), upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Currency (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, (3) if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to any such SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (4) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, immediately, such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day. Furthermore, if any RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.13(a) with respect to the Daily Simple RFR applicable to such RFR Loan, then such Loan shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such RFR Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of this subclause (B), upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an RFR Loan (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the applicable definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be
5
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, as applicable, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.”
