Hedging Agreements The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedging Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct of its business or the management of its liabilities.
Hedging Obligations The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any interest rate, commodity or foreign currency exchange, swap, collar, cap or similar agreements evidencing Hedging Obligations, other than interest rate, foreign currency or commodity exchange, swap, collar, cap or similar agreements entered into by the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary has hedged its actual interest rate, foreign currency or commodity exposure.
Hedging Agreement Any termination payment shall be due by the Borrower under any Hedging Agreement and such amount is not paid within ten (10) Business Days of the due date thereof.
Hedging Arrangements (a) With respect to any Receivables acquired by Seller which are denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Seller shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all times Eligible Hedging Arrangements in an aggregate notional amount not less than the Aggregate Capital at such time.
(b) On the date of the each Incremental Purchase of a Purchaser Interest in relation to Receivables denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Seller shall procure Hedging Arrangements that include a forward exchange contract (a “Forward Exchange Contract”) contemplating settlement on the Settlement Date following the date of such Incremental Purchase.
(c) Thereafter, on each Reporting Date, Seller shall cause the Forward Exchange Contract then in effect to be replaced with a new Forward Exchange Contract or extended, with the effect in either case that the Forward Exchange Contract in effect (or committed to become effective) shall contemplate settlement on the then next following Settlement Date.
(d) All reports relating to the Receivables (whether pursuant to Section 8.5 or otherwise) and all determinations of compliance with the covenants set forth herein relating to the Receivables (whether pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 9.1(f), the definition of “Eligible Receivable” or otherwise) shall give effect to the conversion, where applicable, of the Outstanding Balance of the Receivables into Dollars. Each such conversion shall be made on the basis of the exchange rates set forth in the Forward Exchange Contract then in effect, including any Forward Exchange Contract going into effect on the date such report is issued or such determination is made.
(e) Seller hereby assigns, as part of the Related Security, Purchaser Interests in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Hedging Arrangement, now existing or hereafter arising, to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers hereunder. Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to perfect, evidence or more fully protect the assignment contemplated herein, including, without limitation, providing notice to each Counterparty of the interests of the Agent and the Purchasers hereunder.
Hedging (a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, enter into any Interest Hedge Agreements (subject in each case to (i) satisfaction of the Rating Condition and (ii) unless the cost of such Interest Hedge Agreement is paid in full at the time it is executed, the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders). The Borrower will not amend or replace any Interest Hedge Agreement unless the Rating Condition shall have been satisfied in connection with such amendment or replacement and the Majority Lenders have provided their prior written consent thereto. The Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall promptly provide written notice of entry into, and the amendment or replacement of, any Interest Hedge Agreement to the Agents and the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall not enter into any Interest Hedge Agreement (A) unless it obtains written advice of counsel that (1) the written terms of the derivative directly relate to the Collateral Loans and (2) such derivative reduces the interest rate and/or foreign exchange risks related to the Collateral Loans and the Loans and (B) that would cause the Borrower to be considered a “commodity pool” as defined in Section 1a(10) of the Commodity Exchange Act unless (i) the Services Provider, and no other party, including but not limited to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Administrative Agent, is registered as a “commodity pool operator” as defined in Section 1(a)(11) of the Commodity Exchange Act and “commodity trading advisor” as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act with the CFTC or (ii) with respect to the Borrower as the commodity pool, the Services Provider would be eligible for an exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor and all conditions for obtaining the exemption have been satisfied. The Services Provider agrees that for so long as the Borrower is a commodity pool, the Services Provider will take all actions necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with, as the case may be, either (x) the applicable exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower or (y) the applicable registration requirements as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower, and will in each case take any other actions required as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower.
(b) Each Interest Hedge Agreement shall contain appropriate limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 12.15. Each Interest Hedge Counterparty shall be required to satisfy, at the time that any Interest Hedge Agreement to which it is a party is entered into, the then-current S&P criteria for hedge counterparties with respect to any Interest Hedge Agreements shall be subject to the Priority of Payments specified in Section 9.1(a) and Section 6.4. Each Interest Hedge Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement by the Interest Hedge Counterparty that the obligations of the Borrower to the Interest Hedge Counterparty under the relevant Interest Hedge Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments specified in Section 9.1(a) and Section 6.4 and the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that it may not be terminated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default until liquidation of the Collateral has commenced.
Hedging Contracts No Restricted Person will be a party to or in any manner be liable on any Hedging Contract except:
(a) Hedging Contracts (excluding Floor Contracts covered by the following subsection (b)) entered into with the purpose and effect of fixing prices on oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids expected to be produced by Restricted Persons, provided that at all times: (i) no such Hedging Contract fixes a price for a period later than 60 months after such contract is entered into; (ii) the aggregate monthly production covered by all such contracts (determined, in the case of contracts that are not settled on a monthly basis, by a monthly proration acceptable to Administrative Agent) for any single month does not in the aggregate exceed 85% of Restricted Persons’ aggregate Projected Oil and Gas Production (calculated separately for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids) anticipated (at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into) to be sold in the ordinary course of the Restricted Persons’ businesses for such month, determined separately with respect to oil and gas, (iii) except for the Collateral under the Security Documents with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations, no such contract requires any Restricted Person to put up money, assets, or other security against the event of its nonperformance prior to actual default by such Restricted Person in performing its obligations thereunder, and (iv) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty;
(b) Floor Contracts, provided that (i) no such contract has a term of more than 60 months after such contract is entered into, (ii) the aggregate monthly production covered by all such contracts for any single month does not in the aggregate exceed 100% of Restricted Persons’ aggregate Projected Oil and Gas Production anticipated (at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into) to be sold in the ordinary course of the Restricted Persons’ businesses for such month, and (iii) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty;
(c) Hedging Contracts entered into by a Restricted Person with the purpose and effect of fixing interest rates on a principal amount of indebtedness of such Restricted Person that is accruing interest at a variable rate, provided that (i) at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into, the aggregate notional amount of such contracts does not exceed 75% of the anticipated outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness to be hedged by such contracts or an average of such principal balances calculated using a generally accepted method of matching interest swap contracts to declining principal balances, (ii) the floating rate index of each such contract generally matches the index used to determine the floating rates of interest on the corresponding indebtedness to be hedged by such contract and (iii) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty; and
(d) Hedging Contracts entered into by a Restricted Person with the purpose and effect of fixing prices on currency expected to be exchanged (x) from U.S. Dollars into Australian dollars or (y) from Australian dollars into U.S. Dollars, in each case in the ordinary course of the Credit Parties’ business and not for speculative purposes, provided that at all times: (i) no such Hedging Contract fixes a price for a period later than 12 months after such contract is entered into, (ii) the Credit Parties must maintain at all times Cash Equivalents at least equal to the aggregate notional amount of all such contracts, (iii) if any monthly notional amount of currency subject to any such Hedging Contract is on deposit in any Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange account (or other similar restricted account), then such amount must be permanently released from such account or restrictions prior to the date on which the Hedging Contract for such month is settled, (iv) except for the Collateral under the Security Documents with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations, no such contract requires any Restricted Person to put up money, assets, or other security against the event of its nonperformance prior to actual default by such Restricted Person in performing its obligations thereunder, and (v) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty.
Hedge Transactions The Loan Parties will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedge Transaction, other than Hedge Transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Loan Parties are exposed in the conduct of their business or the management of their liabilities. Solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges that a Hedge Transaction entered into for speculative purposes or of a speculative nature (which shall be deemed to include any Hedge Transaction under which any Loan Party is or may become obliged to make any payment (i) in connection with the purchase by any third party of any common stock or any Debt or (ii) as a result of changes in the market value of any common stock or any Debt) is not a Hedge Transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks.
Hedge Agreements On each date that any Hedge Agreement is executed by any Hedge Provider, Borrower and each other Loan Party satisfy all eligibility, suitability and other requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., as in effect from time to time) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations.
Interest Rate Hedging In order to take advantage of the current favorable interest-rate climate, the Commission agrees that the actual reasonable cost of PG&E’s interest rate hedging activities with respect to the financing necessary for the Settlement Plan shall be reflected and recoverable in PG&E’s retail gas and electric rates without further review.
