If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any SOFR Advance in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered by Borrower to Bank, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

 

(b)       Borrower may elect from time to time to continue any SOFR Advance by giving Bank prior notice of such election in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Advance; provided that no SOFR Advance may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that (x) if Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically continued as SOFR Advances bearing interest at a rate based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR and with an Interest Period of the same length as then expiring Interest Period or (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Advances on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, each request for or conversion to a SOFR Advance shall be equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Amount is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), such lesser amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of SOFR Advances and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (i) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Advances comprising each SOFR Tranche shall be equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the SOFR Advances then outstanding), and (ii) no more than seven SOFR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.9       Section 3.6 (Special Provisions Governing SOFR Advances). Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

3.6 Special Provisions Governing SOFR Advances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to SOFR Advances as to the matters covered herein:

 

(a)       Inability to Determine Interest Rates. Subject to Section 3.6(b), as of any date,

 

(i)        if Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

 

(ii)       Bank determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that “Adjusted Term SOFR” for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of making and maintaining such Advance or Term Loan Advance, as applicable;

 

Bank will promptly so notify Borrower. Upon notice thereof by Bank to Borrower, any obligation of Bank to make and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until Bank revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance or Term Loan Advance, as applicable, of or conversion to Prime Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (y) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Prime Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.6(c).

(b)       Benchmark Replacement Setting. If at any time Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the Term SOFR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Bank has made a public statement announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR, permanently or indefinitely, or that SOFR is no longer representative, then Bank shall determine an alternate rate of interest to SOFR and a spread adjustment mechanism that gives due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate or spread adjustment mechanism by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and/or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or any successor thereto and/or (2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to SOFR for similarly situated loans in the United States at such time, and Bank shall amend this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, such spread adjustment, and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; 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. Bank shall provide Borrower with written notice of such amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.7 (Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration), such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Bank has provided such amendment to Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrower, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Borrower. In the event that Borrower objects to such amendment, Bank and Borrower shall endeavor to agree on an alternate rate of interest that is mutually acceptable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.6(b) (but in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 3.6(b), only to the extent that SOFR is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any SOFR Advances requested to be made shall be made as Prime Rate Advances, and (y) any outstanding SOFR Advances shall be converted to Prime Rate Advances on the date determined by Bank as notified in writing by Bank to Borrower.

 

(c)       Indemnity. In the event of, (i) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Advance other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Bank for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.”

3.7 Illegality. If Bank determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Bank or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Advances or Term Loan Advance, as applicable, whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate, then, upon notice thereof by Bank to Borrower (an “Illegality Notice”), any obligation of Bank to make, and the right of Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended until Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from Bank, prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Advances to Prime Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day.
