Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the various Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans being made by each Lender, and in respect of all unreimbursed Letters of Credit Obligations, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations (other than LIBOR Loans and Swing Line Loans), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time; and (ii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum, based on the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan outstanding from time to time. The Applicable Margins, on a per annum basis, are as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 3.00 % Applicable L/C Margin 3.00 % Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin 0.50 %
(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers, absent manifest error.
(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower Representative, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.
(e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower Representative - shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the applicable Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e). No Loan may be made as or converted into a LIBOR Loan until the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date or (ii) completion of primary syndication as determined by Agent.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.5(a) through (e) above, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Yield Protection and Illegality 49 Section 4.1
Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to LIBOR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent or for any other reason, then the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent and the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, within three (3) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, under Section 2.08(b) or under Article IX.
Interest and Principal (a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender (to be applied to each Note on a pro rata, pari passu basis) interest on the Principal Indebtedness for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to (i) at any time the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the sum of LIBOR, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the applicable Spread and (ii) at any time the Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, the sum of the Prime Rate, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the applicable Prime Rate Spread (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default). As of the Closing Date, the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, and except as provided in Section 1.2(e), the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period, in lieu of making such payment on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date falls on a Payment Date, in which case, no interest will be collected on the Closing Date, and Borrower shall make the payment required pursuant to this Section commencing on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date) and the next payment of interest shall be due and payable on the next subsequent Payment Date.
(b) No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.3 and Section 5.4 and (ii) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in Section 5.16. The entire outstanding Principal Indebtedness, together with all interest thereon through (x) prior to a Securitization, the Maturity Date and (y) after a Securitization, the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Maturity Date falls (calculated as if such Principal Indebtedness were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period) and in each case all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.
(c) If all or any portion of the Principal Indebtedness is paid to Lender during the Spread Maintenance Period following acceleration of the Loan (except as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium. Amounts received in respect of the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied toward interest, principal and other components of the Indebtedness (in such order as Lender shall determine) before any such amounts are applied toward payment of any Spread Maintenance Premium that is due and payable, with the result that any Spread Maintenance Premium that is due and payable shall accrue as the Principal Indebtedness is repaid but no amount received from Borrower shall constitute payment of a Spread Maintenance Premium until the remainder of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment during the Spread Maintenance Period will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Spread Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment during the Spread Maintenance Period; and (iv) the Spread Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.
(d) Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate from and after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods and, in the case of all payments due hereunder other than the repayment of the Principal Indebtedness on the Maturity Date if not paid when due, when paid shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order to defray a portion of the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.
(e) In the event that Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof, then the Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). If, pursuant to this Section, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender thereafter determines in its reasonable discretion that the events or circumstances that resulted in such conversion are no longer applicable, the Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). Borrower shall pay to Lender, promptly following demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section. In the event any Note has been divided into multiple Notes or Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(c), upon any conversion of the Loan pursuant to this Section the interest rate applicable to such Notes or Note Components shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such conversion. Except as provided in this Section, the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. In no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
Calculation of Interest and Fees All calculations of interest and fees under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents for any period (a) shall include the first day of such period and exclude the last day of such period and (b) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed, except that during any period any Loan bears interest based upon the Prime Rate, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate, for actual days elapsed.
