Inability to Determine Interest Rate Clause Samples
The "Inability to Determine Interest Rate" clause defines the procedure to follow if the agreed-upon method for calculating an interest rate becomes unavailable or unworkable. Typically, this clause outlines alternative benchmarks or fallback mechanisms, such as referencing a different published rate or having the parties agree on a substitute rate, to ensure continuity of the contract. Its core function is to prevent disputes or contract disruption by providing a clear process for determining interest when the original reference rate cannot be used.
