Related to Switching Rate
Payment at Highest Lawful Rate If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Base Rate The greater of (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by the Agent at the Agent’s Head Office as its “prime rate” or (b) one half of one percent (0.5%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Base Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. Any change in the rate of interest payable hereunder resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate becomes effective, without notice or demand of any kind.
Highest Lawful Rate It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall, subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.18, be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.18. For purposes of this Section 12.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America. The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.
LIBOR Rate The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:
Alternate Rate of Interest If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
Annual Percentage Rate Each Receivable has an APR of not more than 25.00%.
Alternate Base Rate Loans During such periods as Revolving Loans shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, each such Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage; and
Applicable Margin The following percentages per annum, based upon the Total Leverage Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §8.4(c): Level Total Leverage Ratio Eurodollar Rate Loans / Letter of Credit Fees Base Rate Loans Commitment Fee I ≥ 3.75x 2.00% 1.00% 0.35% II < 3.75x and ≥ 3.25x 1.75% 0.75% 0.30% III < 3.25x and ≥ 2.50x 1.50% 0.50% 0.25% IV < 2.50x 1.25% 0.25% 0.20% Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to §8.4(c); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders, Level I shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered. The Applicable Margin in effect from the Sixth Amendment Effective Date through the date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the period ending March 31, 2019 (pursuant to §8.4(c)), with the financial statements to be delivered pursuant to §8.4(a), shall initially be set at Level II and in any event shall be no lower than Level II. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event either the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent determines, in good faith, that the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio on which the Applicable Margin for any particular period was determined is inaccurate and, as a consequence thereof, the Applicable Margin was lower or higher than it should have been, (i) the Borrowers shall promptly deliver (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrowers discover such inaccuracy or the Borrowers are notified by the Administrative Agent of such inaccuracy, as the case may be) to the Administrative Agent correct financial statements for such period (and if such financial statements are not accurately restated and delivered within thirty (30) days after the first discovery of such inaccuracy by the Borrowers or such notice, as the case may be, and the Applicable Margin was lower than it should have been, then Level I shall apply retroactively for such period until such time as the correct financial statements are delivered and, upon the delivery of such corrected financial statements, thereafter the corrected Level shall apply for such period), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine and notify the Borrowers of the amount of interest that would have been due in respect of outstanding Obligations, if any, during such period had the Applicable Margin been calculated based on the correct Total Leverage Ratio (or, to the extent applicable, the Level I Applicable Margin if such corrected financial statements were not delivered as provided herein) and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the difference, if any, between that amount and the amount actually paid in respect of such period. The foregoing notwithstanding shall in no way limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise their rights to impose the rate of interest applicable during an Event of Default as provided herein.
Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders with respect to the various Loans made by each Lender (or in the case of the Swing Line Loan, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender), in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as Index Rate Loans (and for all other Obligations not otherwise set forth below), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as LIBOR Loans, at the election of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum; (ii) with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as an Index Rate Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Index Margin per annum or, with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as a LIBOR Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin per annum; and (iii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum. As of the Closing Date, the Applicable Margins are as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 2.75 % Applicable Term Loan Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin 2.75 % The Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin shall be adjusted (up or down) prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial performance, commencing with the first day of the first calendar month that occurs more than one (1) day after delivery of Holdings’ quarterly Financial Statements to Lenders for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2008. Adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin will be determined by reference to the following grids: If Leverage Ratio is: Level of Applicable Margins: < 2.50:1.00 Level I › 2.50:1.00, but < 3.00:1.00 Level II › 3.00:1.00, but < 3.50:1.00 Level III › 3.50:1.00, but < 5.00:1.00 Level IV › 5.00:1.00 Level V Applicable Margins Level I Level II Level III Level IV Level V Applicable Revolver Index Margin 0.50% 1.00% 1.25% 1.50% 2.00% Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 1.75% 2.25% 2.50% 2.75% 3.25% All adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin after March 31, 2008 shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, for each calendar month commencing at least one (1) day after the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, such Applicable Margins. Failure to timely deliver such Financial Statements in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in such Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the first day of the first calendar month following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If any Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in such Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which all Defaults or Events of Default are waived or cured.
Eurodollar Rate Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made or created until the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or, if earlier, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the date occurring every date which is three months after the date such Loan is made or created; provided that if on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Loan the Company does not pay such Loan, such Loan shall automatically become a Domestic Rate Loan as of the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
