(a)                                 If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Settlement Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, on any day) (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate or LMIR for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof) or (iii) the Euro-Rate or LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period (or portion thereof), then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller.  Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall, on the last day of the then current Settlement Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, immediately), be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

 

(b)                                 If, on or before the first day of any Settlement Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, on any day), the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or

 

4



 

comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate or LMIR, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof.  Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Settlement Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, immediately) if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day.

 

(f)                                   Each signature block as well as notice information thereunder for Market Street set forth on signature pages S-3 and S-4 of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
