Interest Rate Protection Agreements Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into interest rate protection agreements (protecting against fluctuations in interest rates) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which agreements shall provide coverage in an amount equal to $100,000,000 and for a duration of at least two (2) years.
Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.14(c) of this Agreement, such Section 2.14(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Interest Rate Options The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that (i) there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.9 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.
Interest Rate Computations All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.
Interest Rate Risk Management Instruments (a) All interest rate swaps, caps, floors and option agreements and other interest rate risk management arrangements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their properties or assets may be bound were entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with prudent banking practice and applicable rules, regulations and policies of Company Regulatory Agencies and with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time, and are legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as may be limited by general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally), and are in full force and effect. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has duly performed in all material respects all of its obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued; and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of such by any party thereunder.
Interest Rate Protection Agreement (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the items in clauses (ii) through (v) below shall not be subject to Administrative Agent approval), (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists or any amounts remain due and owing to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, 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, (iv) shall be for a term through the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement (the “Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment. (b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be directly deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder. (c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall either (i) replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) or (ii) if provided in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement, in the case of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the Rating of such Acceptable Counterparty, cause the Acceptable Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent. (d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Administrative Agent until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent. (e) In connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Protection Agreement is required pursuant to Section 2.2.7(a) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Option, as applicable (i) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (ii) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns for the benefit of Lenders and their successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that: (i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). (f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall terminate and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such documents as may be required to evidence Administrative Agent’s release of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement on behalf of Lenders and to notify Acceptable Counterparty of such release.
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.
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.
Interest Rates All outstanding Term Loans to the Borrower shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Term Loans are outstanding with respect to which the Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Term Loans shall be treated as Base Rate Loans until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Term Loans shall bear interest as follows: (i) For all Base Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) For all SOFR Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin. Each change in the Base Rate (or any component thereof) shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the “prime rate” 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). On the last Business Day of each calendar quarter hereafter and on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, interest accrued from the last Business Day of the preceding calendar quarter to the last Business Day of such calendar quarter (or accrued to the Termination Date in the case of a payment on the Termination Date) on all Base Rate Loans in arrears. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, interest on all SOFR Rate Loans in arrears on each SOFR Interest Payment Date.
