Applicable Margin The following percentages per annum, based upon the Total Leverage Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §8.4(c): Level Total Leverage Ratio Eurodollar Rate Loans / Letter of Credit Fees Base Rate Loans Commitment Fee I ≥ 3.75x 2.00% 1.00% 0.35% II < 3.75x and ≥ 3.25x 1.75% 0.75% 0.30% III < 3.25x and ≥ 2.50x 1.50% 0.50% 0.25% IV < 2.50x 1.25% 0.25% 0.20% Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to §8.4(c); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders, Level I shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered. The Applicable Margin in effect from the Sixth Amendment Effective Date through the date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the period ending March 31, 2019 (pursuant to §8.4(c)), with the financial statements to be delivered pursuant to §8.4(a), shall initially be set at Level II and in any event shall be no lower than Level II. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event either the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent determines, in good faith, that the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio on which the Applicable Margin for any particular period was determined is inaccurate and, as a consequence thereof, the Applicable Margin was lower or higher than it should have been, (i) the Borrowers shall promptly deliver (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrowers discover such inaccuracy or the Borrowers are notified by the Administrative Agent of such inaccuracy, as the case may be) to the Administrative Agent correct financial statements for such period (and if such financial statements are not accurately restated and delivered within thirty (30) days after the first discovery of such inaccuracy by the Borrowers or such notice, as the case may be, and the Applicable Margin was lower than it should have been, then Level I shall apply retroactively for such period until such time as the correct financial statements are delivered and, upon the delivery of such corrected financial statements, thereafter the corrected Level shall apply for such period), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine and notify the Borrowers of the amount of interest that would have been due in respect of outstanding Obligations, if any, during such period had the Applicable Margin been calculated based on the correct Total Leverage Ratio (or, to the extent applicable, the Level I Applicable Margin if such corrected financial statements were not delivered as provided herein) and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the difference, if any, between that amount and the amount actually paid in respect of such period. The foregoing notwithstanding shall in no way limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise their rights to impose the rate of interest applicable during an Event of Default as provided herein.
Applicable Margins The ABR Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Types of Advances shall vary from time to time in accordance with the long-term unsecured debt ratings from Xxxxx’x, and Fitch of the General Partner and the Borrower. In the event the General Partner and the Borrower have different ratings, the rating of the higher rated entity shall be used. In the event the rating agencies are split on the rating for the higher rated entity, the lower rating for such entity shall be deemed to be the applicable rating (e.g., if the higher rated entity’s Xxxxx’x debt rating is Baa1, and its Fitch’s rating is BBB, then the Applicable Margins shall be computed based on the Fitch rating), and the Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in the higher rated entity’s Xxxxx’x debt rating, and/or Fitch’s debt rating, as the case may be. The applicable debt ratings and the Applicable Margins are set forth in the table attached as Exhibit A. In the event that Fitch or Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry, the General Partner or the Borrower, a mutually agreeable substitute rating agency (or two mutually agreeable substitute agencies if both existing rating agencies discontinue such ratings) shall be selected by the Required Lenders and the Borrower. If the Required Lenders and the Borrower cannot agree on a substitute rating agency or substitute rating agencies within thirty (30) days after such discontinuance, or if Fitch and Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry, the Borrower, or the General Partner, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin for each Type. If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the ABR Applicable Margin, the LIBOR Applicable Margin, or Facility Fee Rate and if such downgrade or discontinuance is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at the Borrower’s request, the Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to interest accrued from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance and actually paid by the Borrower on the Advances at the differential between such Applicable Margins, and the differential of the Facility Fee paid during such period of downgrade. If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin, LIBOR Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Advances and the differential on the Facility Fees during such period of upgrade.
Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Borrowing Notice no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.
Tranche B Term Loans Each Lender that has a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to lend to Borrower on the Closing Date an amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, requesting a borrowing of the Tranche B Term Loans. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) that such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. The aggregate amount of the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments is $45,000,000; PROVIDED that the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments of Lenders shall be adjusted to (1) give effect to any assignments of the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 10.1B and (2) any increase in Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv). Each Lender's Tranche B Term Loan Commitment shall expire immediately and without further action on March 31, 2002 if the Tranche B Term Loans have not been made on or before that date. Subject to subsection 2.1A(iv), Borrower may make only one borrowing under the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments. Amounts 35 borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice (which shall be irrevocable and must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date and, in the case of a borrowing of ABR Loans, one (1) Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Term Commitments. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Term Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date, each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office (or by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent Account, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Administrative Agent) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Term Lenders in immediately available funds. Subject to Section 2.21(g) to the extent applicable, the respective obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.
Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders with respect to the various Loans made by each Lender (or in the case of the Swing Line Loan, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender), in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as Index Rate Loans (and for all other Obligations not otherwise set forth below), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as LIBOR Loans, at the election of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum; (ii) with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as an Index Rate Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Index Margin per annum or, with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as a LIBOR Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin per annum; and (iii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum. As of the Closing Date, the Applicable Margins are as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 2.75 % Applicable Term Loan Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin 2.75 % The Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin shall be adjusted (up or down) prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial performance, commencing with the first day of the first calendar month that occurs more than one (1) day after delivery of Holdings’ quarterly Financial Statements to Lenders for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2008. Adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin will be determined by reference to the following grids: If Leverage Ratio is: Level of Applicable Margins: < 2.50:1.00 Level I › 2.50:1.00, but < 3.00:1.00 Level II › 3.00:1.00, but < 3.50:1.00 Level III › 3.50:1.00, but < 5.00:1.00 Level IV › 5.00:1.00 Level V Applicable Margins Level I Level II Level III Level IV Level V Applicable Revolver Index Margin 0.50% 1.00% 1.25% 1.50% 2.00% Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 1.75% 2.25% 2.50% 2.75% 3.25% All adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin after March 31, 2008 shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, for each calendar month commencing at least one (1) day after the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, such Applicable Margins. Failure to timely deliver such Financial Statements in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in such Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the first day of the first calendar month following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If any Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in such Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which all Defaults or Events of Default are waived or cured.
Extended Term Loans (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.14, Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”), be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Lead Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) have the same terms as the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the applicable Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); (iv) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; (v) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (vi) such Extended Term Loans may have other terms (other than those described in the preceding clause (i) through (v)) that differ from those of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the requirements set forth above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.
Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 5.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.
Initial Term Loans Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender holding an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, in Dollars, in a single draw on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, an “Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Initial Term Loan Commitment”, as such amount may be adjusted or reduced pursuant to the terms hereof, which Initial Term Loans:
Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and each Issuer for any increase in the cost to such Lender or Issuer of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Secured Party in respect of, such Secured Party’s Commitments and the making of Credit Extensions hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make or continue) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans) that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in after the Restatement Effective Date of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are governed by Sections 4.5 and 4.6, respectively. Each affected Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Secured Party for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to such Secured Party within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence thereof and shall be binding on the Borrower.
