Hedging Contracts No Restricted Person will be a party to or in any manner be liable on any Hedging Contract, except:
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.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
No Hedging Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to the Acquired Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Section 7(b) shall prohibit such persons from engaging in hedging transactions with respect to other securities of the Issuer, including Class A Ordinary Shares or Class A Common Stock acquired in open market purchases, so long as such person does not create any “put equivalent position,” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or short sale positions, with respect to the Acquired Shares, nor shall this Section 7(b) prohibit any other investment adviser with the Subscriber that has no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions; and in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers or desks have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers or desks managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, this Section 7(b) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager or desk that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.
Sub-Contracting JHSS may subcontract for the performance hereof, provided, however, that (a) upon engagement of any such subcontractor, and at least annually thereafter, JHSS discloses to the Board the financial terms of such subcontract and a summary of the services provided to the Fund pursuant to such subcontract, and (b) JHSS shall be as fully responsible to the Fund for any acts or omissions of any such subcontractor as JHSS is for its own acts and omissions.
Banking Services and Swap Agreements Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed.
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.
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.
Interest Rate Hedging (a) Enter into within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and maintain for a period of not less than two (2) years thereafter, interest rate Swap Contracts with Persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, covering a notional amount of not less than 50% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Closing Date Term Facility.
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.
