2.1 | Definition of Maturity Date |
2.2 | Additional Definitions |
2.3 | CDOR Discontinuation |
(1) | If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined that: |
(a) | adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CDOR (including, in all references within this Section 3.07, the BA Discount Rate), including because the Reuters Screen CDOR Page is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable Interest Period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; |
(b) | the administrator of CDOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans; |
(c) | a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans (each such specific date in paragraph (b) above and in this paragraph (c) a “CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or |
(d) | syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.07(1), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace CDOR, |
(2) | If no CDOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Section 3.07(1)(a) above exist or a CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes, or Interest Periods) and (ii) CDOR shall no longer be utilized as a component in determining the Canadian Prime Rates. Upon receipt of such notice, a Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, conversion to or rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes, or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Advance (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein. |
(3) | Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the CDOR Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such CDOR Successor Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement.” |
2.4 | LIBOR Discontinuation |
(1) | If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined that: |
(a) | adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, including because the “LIBOR01 Page” of the Reuters Money Rates Service (or any successor source from time to time for such rate) (the “LIBOR Screen Rate”) is not available or published on a current basis for an Advance in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; |
(b) | the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans; |
(c) | a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans (each such specific date in paragraph (b) above and in this paragraph (c) a “LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or |
(d) | syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.08(1), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBOR Rate, |
(2) | If no LIBO Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Section 3.08(1)(a) above exist or a LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, a Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, conversion to or rollover of LIBOR Advances (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for U.S. Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein. |
(3) | Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the LIBO Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such LIBO Successor Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement.” |
2.5 | Qualified Financial Contract |
(a) | In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
(b) | In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
(c) | “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. |
