Hedge Agreements On each date that any Hedge Agreement is executed by any Hedge Provider, Borrower and each other Loan Party satisfy all eligibility, suitability and other requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., as in effect from time to time) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations.
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.
Hedging Contracts No Restricted Person will be a party to or in any manner be liable on any Hedging Contract except:
(a) Hedging Contracts (excluding Floor Contracts covered by the following subsection (b)) entered into with the purpose and effect of fixing prices on oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids expected to be produced by Restricted Persons, provided that at all times: (i) no such Hedging Contract fixes a price for a period later than 60 months after such contract is entered into; (ii) the aggregate monthly production covered by all such contracts (determined, in the case of contracts that are not settled on a monthly basis, by a monthly proration acceptable to Administrative Agent) for any single month does not in the aggregate exceed 85% of Restricted Persons’ aggregate Projected Oil and Gas Production (calculated separately for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids) anticipated (at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into) to be sold in the ordinary course of the Restricted Persons’ businesses for such month, determined separately with respect to oil and gas, (iii) except for the Collateral under the Security Documents with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations, no such contract requires any Restricted Person to put up money, assets, or other security against the event of its nonperformance prior to actual default by such Restricted Person in performing its obligations thereunder, and (iv) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty;

(c) Hedging Contracts entered into by a Restricted Person with the purpose and effect of fixing interest rates on a principal amount of indebtedness of such Restricted Person that is accruing interest at a variable rate, provided that (i) at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into, the aggregate notional amount of such contracts does not exceed 75% of the anticipated outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness to be hedged by such contracts or an average of such principal balances calculated using a generally accepted method of matching interest swap contracts to declining principal balances, (ii) the floating rate index of each such contract generally matches the index used to determine the floating rates of interest on the corresponding indebtedness to be hedged by such contract and (iii) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty; and
(d) Hedging Contracts entered into by a Restricted Person with the purpose and effect of fixing prices on currency expected to be exchanged (x) from U.S. Dollars into Australian dollars or (y) from Australian dollars into U.S. Dollars, in each case in the ordinary course of the Credit Parties’ business and not for speculative purposes, provided that at all times: (i) no such Hedging Contract fixes a price for a period later than 12 months after such contract is entered into, (ii) the Credit Parties must maintain at all times Cash Equivalents at least equal to the aggregate notional amount of all such contracts, (iii) if any monthly notional amount of currency subject to any such Hedging Contract is on deposit in any Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange account (or other similar restricted account), then such amount must be permanently released from such account or restrictions prior to the date on which the Hedging Contract for such month is settled, (iv) except for the Collateral under the Security Documents with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations, no such contract requires any Restricted Person to put up money, assets, or other security against the event of its nonperformance prior to actual default by such Restricted Person in performing its obligations thereunder, and (v) each such contract is with an Approved Counterparty.
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.
The Obligations The security interest granted hereunder shall secure the payment of all indebtedness and the performance of all obligations of the Debtor to the Secured Party of every type and description, whether now existing or hereafter arising, fixed or contingent, as primary obligor or as guarantor or surety, acquired directly or by assignment or otherwise, liquidated or unliquidated, regardless of how they arise or by what agreement or instrument they may be evidenced, including without limitation all loans, advances and other extensions of credit and all covenants, agreements, and provisions contained in all loan and other agreements between the parties (the “Obligations”).
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements in the case of a Facility Termination Date.
Hedging Obligations The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any interest rate, commodity or foreign currency exchange, swap, collar, cap or similar agreements evidencing Hedging Obligations, other than interest rate, foreign currency or commodity exchange, swap, collar, cap or similar agreements entered into by the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary has hedged its actual interest rate, foreign currency or commodity exposure.
Hedging Arrangements (a) With respect to any Receivables acquired by Seller which are denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Seller shall procure and maintain in full force and effect at all times Eligible Hedging Arrangements in an aggregate notional amount not less than the Aggregate Capital at such time.
(b) On the date of the each Incremental Purchase of a Purchaser Interest in relation to Receivables denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Seller shall procure Hedging Arrangements that include a forward exchange contract (a “Forward Exchange Contract”) contemplating settlement on the Settlement Date following the date of such Incremental Purchase.
(c) Thereafter, on each Reporting Date, Seller shall cause the Forward Exchange Contract then in effect to be replaced with a new Forward Exchange Contract or extended, with the effect in either case that the Forward Exchange Contract in effect (or committed to become effective) shall contemplate settlement on the then next following Settlement Date.
(d) All reports relating to the Receivables (whether pursuant to Section 8.5 or otherwise) and all determinations of compliance with the covenants set forth herein relating to the Receivables (whether pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 9.1(f), the definition of “Eligible Receivable” or otherwise) shall give effect to the conversion, where applicable, of the Outstanding Balance of the Receivables into Dollars. Each such conversion shall be made on the basis of the exchange rates set forth in the Forward Exchange Contract then in effect, including any Forward Exchange Contract going into effect on the date such report is issued or such determination is made.
(e) Seller hereby assigns, as part of the Related Security, Purchaser Interests in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Hedging Arrangement, now existing or hereafter arising, to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers hereunder. Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to perfect, evidence or more fully protect the assignment contemplated herein, including, without limitation, providing notice to each Counterparty of the interests of the Agent and the Purchasers hereunder.
Interest Rate Hedging In order to take advantage of the current favorable interest-rate climate, the Commission agrees that the actual reasonable cost of PG&E’s interest rate hedging activities with respect to the financing necessary for the Settlement Plan shall be reflected and recoverable in PG&E’s retail gas and electric rates without further review.
