Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS.
Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.
Interest Rate Adjustment The interest rate payable on the Notes shall be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., or any successor thereto (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of XxXxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any successor thereto (“S&P”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, as set forth below. If the rating from Moody’s of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance (the “Original Interest Rate”) by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: Rating Percentage Ba1 0.25 % Ba2 0.50 % Ba3 0.75 % B1 or below 1.00 % If the rating from S&P of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: Rating Percentage BB+ 0.25 % BB 0.50 % BB- 0.75 % B+ or below 1.00 % Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the interest rate on the Notes has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth in the tables above, the interest rate on the Notes shall be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Moody’s subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to Baa3 or higher and S&P increases its rating to BBB- or higher the interest rate on the Notes shall be decreased to the Original Interest Rate. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the Notes be reduced to below the Original Interest Rate or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes exceed 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Notes, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating of the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. Any interest rate increase or decrease described above shall take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. The interest rate on the Notes shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both rating agencies) and, if applicable, shall be decreased to the Original Interest Rate, if the Notes become rated Baa2 and BBB or higher by Moody’s and S&P, respectively (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by each of the rating agencies.
Interest Rate Protection Agreements (a) Within ninety days after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into and thereafter maintain interest rate protection agreements (protecting against fluctuations in interest rates) having a term of at least three years from the Closing Date, establishing a fixed or maximum interest rate of 10.5% per annum for an aggregate notional amount equal to at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding.
Fixed Interest Rate Annual interest rate shall be /% and will not change during the duration.
INTEREST; INTEREST RATE (a) Interest on this Bond shall commence accruing at the Interest Rate (as defined in Section 30) from and including the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360)-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) with the first Interest Payment Date being January 1, 2010. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, to the record holders of this Bond as recorded in the Register (as defined in Section 3(g)) held by the Company on the applicable Record Date, at the Company’s option, (A) in whole in cash (“Cash Interest”), or (B) in whole in shares (“Interest Shares”) of the Company that are designated on the date hereof as common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), or (C) in a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares. In the event the Company decides to deliver Interest Shares on an Interest Payment Date, it must deliver a written notice (“Interest Election Notice”) to Holders no less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the Interest Payment Date (the date such notice is sent being the “Interest Notice Date”) pursuant to which notice, the Company elects to pay Interest entirely in Interest Shares or a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest that shall be paid in Interest Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Payment Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date less any Cash Interest paid and (2) the Interest Conversion Price in effect for the applicable Interest Payment Date (rounded down to the preceding whole number).
