Alternative Interest Rate Clause Samples
The Alternative Interest Rate clause defines the method for determining a substitute interest rate if the original reference rate becomes unavailable or is discontinued. Typically, this clause outlines the process for selecting a new benchmark, such as switching from LIBOR to another published rate, and may specify how adjustments are made to ensure fairness between the parties. Its core function is to ensure continuity and predictability in interest calculations, thereby preventing disputes or uncertainty if the original rate can no longer be used.

Alternative Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) after any such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of any such notice described under Section 3.6.1(a) through (c), as applicable, if the Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available on or prior to the LIBOR Replacement Date, (ii) if the events or circumstances described in Section 3.6.1(d) have occurred but none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, or (iii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.6.1(a) through (c) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect and the Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, then in each case, the Agent and Loan Party Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR or any then current LIBOR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any Related Adjustments and any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such 86

Alternative Interest Rate. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and Holdings shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate (the “Alternate 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.03(b), the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended in accordance with Section 3.03(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.03(b) to the contrary, any amendment providing for the replacement of the LIBOR Rate with an alternative benchmark or reference rate of interest shall provide that in no event shall such benchmark or reference rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
Alternative Interest Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period or Default Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (so long as the Administrative Agent is making substantially the same determination with respect to other borrowers (situated similarly to the Company) to which it has made loans), which determination shall be conclusive, that interest rate reported for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Loans as provided herein; or
(b) the Majority Lenders reasonably determine (so long as they are making substantially the same determination with respect to other borrowers (situated similarly to the Company) to which they respectively have made loans), which determination shall be conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Loans for such Interest Period or Default Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Loans for such Interest Period or Default Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Lender prompt notice thereof and:
(i) During the 15-day period next succeeding the date of any such notice (the "Negotiation Period"), the Administrative Agent (in consultation with such Lenders) and the Company will negotiate in good faith for the purpose of agreeing upon an alternative, mutually acceptable basis (the "Substitute Basis") for determining the rate of interest to be applicable to the Loans for such Interest Period or Default Interest Period;
(ii) If at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, the Majority Lenders and the Company have agreed upon a Substitute Basis and the Administrative Agent has received confirmation from its Chilean counsel that such Substitute Basis has received all necessary governmental approvals and consents, the Substitute Basis shall be retroactive to, and take effect from, the beginning of such Interest Period or Default Interest Period;
(iii) If at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, a Substitute Basis shall not have been agreed upon as aforesaid or the Administrative Agent shall n...

Alternative Interest Rate. (a) If the Lender shall have determined in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error), prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that: (i) Dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding a Disbursement are not available to the Lender in the London interbank market in the ordinary course of business; or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to a Disbursement; or (iii) the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR which is to be used to determine the rate of interest for a Disbursement does not cover the funding cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Disbursement, then the Lender and the Borrower, during the next 30-day period, shall negotiate in good faith with a view toward agreeing upon an alternative basis for determining the applicable interest rate. Retroactively from the beginning of such Interest Period, the interest rate for such Interest Period shall be equal to (i) such interest rate as may be agreed upon as aforesaid or (ii) if no such rate is agreed upon within such 30-day period, such rate, if any, other than LIBOR, as is reasonably determined by the Lender in good faith to be that interest
Alternative Interest Rate.

7.8.1 the Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers of the occurrence of such event; and
7.8.2 the rate of interest on the relevant Lender's Commitment for that Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:
(a) the Margin; and
(b) the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its Commitment from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
(c) the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's Commitment.
Alternative Interest Rate. (a) If the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error), prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that: (i) Dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding a Disbursement are not generally available to the Lender in the London interbank market in the ordinary course of business; or (ii) by reason of circumstances generally affecting the relevant market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to a Disbursement; or (iii) the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR which is to be used to determine the rate of interest for a Disbursement does not cover the funding cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Disbursement, then the Lender, so long as such condition shall exist, shall give notice to the Borrower of the rate of interest which the Lender determines is equal to the Alternate Rate (expressed as an annual rate), and interest shall accrue during each applicable Interest Period at the rate set forth in the notice.
(b) If, in the Lender's reasonable judgment, it becomes unlawful at any time for the Lender to make or maintain Disbursements based upon LIBOR, the Lender, so long as such condition shall exist, shall give notice to the Borrower of the rate of interest which the Lender determines is equal to the Alternate Rate (expressed as an annual rate), and interest shall accrue during each applicable Interest Period at the rate set forth in such notice.
Alternative Interest Rate. If, prior to the commencement of an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) if such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans, the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.
