Alternative Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in [clause (a) above], if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that # the circumstances described in clause (a) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, # any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or # the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until # an event described in [Section 3.03(a)] occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or # the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Applicable Administrative Agent # determines that the circumstances described in clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.08 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, # determines that the circumstances described in clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.08 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Applicable Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, or # is advised by the Applicable Required Lenders of their determination in accordance with clause (a)(ii) of this Section 2.08, then the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, provided that to the extent that the Applicable Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market convention is not administratively feasible or that no market convention for the administration of such alternate rate of interest exists, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall administer such alternate rate of interest in a manner determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Applicable Lenders, a written notice from the Applicable Required Lenders stating that such Applicable Required Lenders object to such amendment. If a notice of an alternate rate of interest has been given and no such alternate rate of interest has been determined, and # the circumstances under [clause (i) or (iii) above] exist or # the specific date referred to in clause (ii) has occurred (as applicable), Alternate Base Rate shall apply without regard to clause (c) of the definition thereof. Provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with this clause (d), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if no Replacement Rate has been determined and the circumstances under [clauses (A), (B) or (C) above] exist, until a Replacement Rate shall have been determined in accordance with the terms hereof, # the Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Request, # the Borrower may revoke any notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loan or Interest Periods) and # failing any revocation by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding [clauses (x) or (y)])], if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Loan, or conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan in the amount specified in such Borrowing Request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in [clause (i) of Section 3.03(a)], the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until # the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of [Section 3.03(a), (ii)])] the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or # any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.
