Inability to Determine Interest Rates Clause Samples
The "Inability to Determine Interest Rates" clause defines what happens if the standard method for determining an applicable interest rate becomes unavailable or unworkable. Typically, this clause outlines alternative procedures or fallback benchmarks that the parties will use to calculate interest, such as referencing a different published rate or having the parties agree on a substitute rate. Its core function is to ensure continuity and certainty in financial agreements by providing a clear process for interest calculation even when market disruptions or changes render the original rate-setting mechanism unusable.
