Application Among Interest Rate Options All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to a Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.06(b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for any loss or expense including loss of margin incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Euro-Rate Interest Period.
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (a) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement in effect on the Closing Date has a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price and a scheduled termination date of the Initial Maturity Date. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) is in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) is with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) directs such Acceptable Counterparty to pay directly to an account pledged to Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Lender and Borrower that Lender will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, 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), and (iv) has a notional amount at least equal to the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the Closing Date (it being understood that the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced, from time to time, as the principal balance of the Loan is reduced (in the amounts of such reduction in principal) pursuant to clause (g) below). Borrower shall collaterally assign to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender), pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Collateral Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) and require that payments be paid directly into an account pledged to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) as provided above in this Section 2.2.7). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.
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.
Rights as a Lender The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
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.
PROTECTION OF LENDER'S SECURITY If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the interest of Lender therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, Lender, at Lender's option, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Lender's interest, including, but not limited to, (i) disbursement of attorney's fees, (ii) entry upon the Property to make repairs, (iii) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided herein, (iv) the payment of any Taxes then due and payable, and (v) payment of any other amounts contemplated in any of the Loan Documents. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable upon demand and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate then applicable to principal under the Note unless collection from Borrower of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
