Base Rate The higher of (a) the annual rate of interest announced from time to time by BKB at its head office in Boston, Massachusetts, as its "base rate" and (b) one-half of one percent (1/2%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate. For the purposes of this definition, "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean for any day, the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by the Agent from three funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Agent.
Alternate Base Rate Loans During such periods as Revolving Loans shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, each such Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage; and
Base Rates Attached to and made a part of this Agreement is Appendix A which sets forth the straight-time hourly rates for all employees covered by this Agreement.
Interest on Revolving Credit Loans (a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Base Margin Rate unless timely notice is given (as provided in Section 2.5) that the subject Revolving Credit Loan (or a portion thereof) is, or is to be converted to, a LIBOR Loan.
(b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate.
(c) Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement, the Lead Borrower may cause all or a part of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account to bear interest at the Base Margin Rate or the LIBOR Rate as specified from time to time by the Lead Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent.
(d) For ease of reference and administration, each part of the Loan Account which bears interest at the same rate of interest and for the same Interest Period is referred to herein as if it were a separate "Revolving Credit Loan".
(e) The Lead Borrower shall not select, renew, or convert any interest rate for a Revolving Credit Loan such that, in addition to interest at the Base Margin Rate, there are more than seven (7) Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans in the aggregate for all Borrowers applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans at any one time.
(f) The Borrowers shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Revolving Credit Loan to its Borrower in arrears as follows:
(i) On the applicable Interest Payment Date for that Revolving Credit Loan.
(ii) On the Termination Date and on the End Date.
(iii) Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, with such frequency as may be determined by the Administrative Agent.
(g) Following the occurrence of any Event of Default (and whether or not any Agent exercises its rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest, at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the instruction of the SuperMajority Lenders, at a rate which is the aggregate of the applicable rate (including the Applicable Margin) for Base Margin Loans and/or LIBOR Loans, as applicable, plus two percent (2%) per annum.
Interest on Revolving Credit Advances Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made to such Borrower owing to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
Alternative Currencies (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that LIBO Rate Revolving Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of LIBO Rate Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class that will provide such Loans, and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the applicable Issuing Banks, in each case as set forth in Section 9.02(b)(ii)(E).
(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days prior to the requested date of the making of such Revolving Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Banks, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to LIBO Rate Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuings Bank thereof. Each applicable Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to LIBO Rate Revolving Loans) or each applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of LIBO Rate Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.
(c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit LIBO Rate Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the applicable Revolving Lenders consent to making LIBO Rate Revolving Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders shall amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as necessary to accommodate such Borrowings and/or Letters of Credit (as applicable), in accordance with Section 9.02(b)(ii)(E). If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.
Applicable Margin On the Third Amendment Effective Date and thereafter, the Applicable Margin with respect to the Term Loan D Loans shall be for Base Rate Advances, 1.50%, and for LIBOR Advances, 2.50%. The Applicable Margin with respect to the Term Loan D Loans shall be subject to reduction or increase, as applicable, and as set forth in the tables below, based upon the Borrower Leverage Ratio and the Senior Leverage Ratio set forth on a pro forma basis in any Request for Advance and as reflected in the financial statements required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter most recently ended pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 hereof; provided that the Applicable Margins set forth in the tables below shall be increased by 25 bps at any time when the Senior Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0. The adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3(f)(ii) shall be effective (A) with respect to an increase of the Applicable Margin, as of the second (2nd) Business Day after the earliest of (1) with respect to Base Rate Advances, the day on which any Request for Advance is delivered, (2) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the day on which the requested Advance is made or (3) the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, as the case may be, and (B) with respect to a decrease in the Applicable Margin, as of the second (2nd) Business Day after the earliest of (1) with respect to Base Rate Advances, the day on which any Request for Advance is delivered, (2) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the day on which the requested Advance is made or (3) except with respect to Interest Periods ending (or other payments of interest occurring) before the date that such financial statements are actually delivered to the Administrative Agent, the day on which such financial statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to deliver financial statements within forty-five (45) days after the end of any of the first three fiscal quarters of the Borrower’s fiscal year (or within ninety (90) days after the end of the last fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year), as required by Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Applicable Margin is based upon a Borrower Leverage Ratio equal to the highest level set forth in the table below and a Senior Leverage Ratio greater than 2.5 to 1.0 for the period from and including the forty-sixth (46th) day (or ninety-first (91st) day, in the case of the last quarter) after the end of such fiscal quarter, as the case may be, to the Business Day following the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of such financial statements: Greater than 4.00 to 1.00 1.50% 2.50% Less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 1.25% 2.25%
LIBOR Rate (A) Except as provided in subsection (C) below, Revolving Loans shall accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(B) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (I) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (II) repay the Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate with respect to which such adjustment is made.
(C) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrowers and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (I) in the case of any outstanding Loans of such Lender bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such Loans, and interest upon such Lender’s Loans thereafter shall accrue interest at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (II) such Loans shall continue to accrue interest at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to maintain such Loans at the LIBOR Rate.
(D) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate.
Interest on Revolving Loans The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin and (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin.
Federal Funds Effective Rate For any day, the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Agent.
