Limitation of Interest It is the intention of each Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid, shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower.) In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to any Borrower the amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
Determination of Interest The Administrative Agent shall calculate and determine the Interest (including unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Quarterly Payment Date and the Benchmark) to be paid by the Borrower on each Quarterly Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Borrower and the Collateral Manager thereof no later than the third Business Day prior to such Quarterly Payment Date.
Calculation of interest The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:
(a) Margin; and
Computation of Interest Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Capitalization of Interest The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.
Payment of Interest The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).
Selection of Interest Rate Options At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.
CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 10.1 Absence of quotations
Accrual and Payment of Interest Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower on a joint and several basis: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period; (iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto; and (iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.11(c), on demand.
Determination of Interest Rate (a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or Section 2.2.3(f).
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
(e) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority and imposed on any non-U.S. Lender due to a change in U.S. law after the date such non-U.S. Lender acquired its interest in the Loan (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding (i) income and franchise taxes, (ii) any Taxes imposed by reason of any connection between the non-U.S. Lender and the taxing jurisdiction other than entering into this Agreement and receiving payments hereunder, and (iii) any Taxes imposed by reason of the non-U.S. Lender’s failure to complete and deliver to the Borrower, prior to the date on which the first payment to such Lender is due hereunder and (so long as it remains eligible to do so) from time to time thereafter, (x) (i) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that the Lender is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax, (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero, or (iii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, as appropriate; and (y) any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or any taxing authority reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, Foreign Taxes. If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental Foreign Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence thereof (provided such documents are reasonably available to the Borrower).
(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder and the events giving rise thereto affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law.
(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority and the events giving rise thereto affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, the office of Lender that holds the Loan which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii) shall hereafter require the Lender to hold additional capital against the Loan in excess of that currently required by Governmental Authorities to be held against loans similar in nature to the Loan; or
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR-based interest rates and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount received by Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined in good faith by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes or other amounts incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.2.3, the term “Lender” shall be deemed to include each Noteholder and Lender’s (as well as each Noteholder’s) present and future participants in the Loan to the extent of Foreign Taxes imposed by reason of such Noteholder or participant’s interest in the Loan and each such Noteholder’s or participant’s increased costs or reduction in amount received or receivable hereunder or any reduced rate of return, in each case payable by Borrower under this Section 2.2.3.
