In the event the General Partner and the Borrower have different ratings, the rating of the higher rated entity shall be used. In the event the rating agencies are split on the rating for the higher rated entity, the lower rating for such entity shall be deemed to be the applicable rating (e.g., if the higher rated entity’s Xxxxx’x debt rating is Baa1, and its Fitch’s rating is BBB, then the Applicable Margins shall be computed based on the Fitch rating), and the Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in the higher rated entity’s Xxxxx’x debt rating, and/or Fitch’s debt rating, as the case may be. The applicable debt ratings and the Applicable Margins are set forth in the table attached as Exhibit A. In the event that Fitch or Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry, the General Partner or the Borrower, a mutually agreeable substitute rating agency (or two mutually agreeable substitute agencies if both existing rating agencies discontinue such ratings) shall be selected by the Required Lenders and the Borrower. If the Required Lenders and the Borrower cannot agree on a substitute rating agency or substitute rating agencies within thirty (30) days after such discontinuance, or if Fitch and Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry, the Borrower, or the General Partner, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin for each Type. If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the ABR Applicable Margin, the LIBOR Applicable Margin, or Facility Fee Rate and if such downgrade or discontinuance is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at the Borrower’s request, the Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to interest accrued from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance and actually paid by the Borrower on the Advances at the differential between such Applicable Margins, and the differential of the Facility Fee paid during such period of downgrade. If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin, LIBOR Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Advances and the differential on the Facility Fees during such period of upgrade.
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%
