The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) is in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) is with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) directs such Acceptable Counterparty to pay directly to an account pledged to Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Lender and Borrower that Lender will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof), and (iv) has a notional amount at least equal to the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the Closing Date (it being understood that the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced, from time to time, as the principal balance of the Loan is reduced (in the amounts of such reduction in principal) pursuant to clause (g) below). Borrower shall collaterally assign to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender), pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Collateral Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) and require that payments be paid directly into an account pledged to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) as provided above in this Section 2.2.7). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.
Interest Rate Protection No later than the 90th day after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into, and for a minimum of three years thereafter maintain, Hedging Agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent that result in at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of its funded long-term Indebtedness being effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
