Variable Rate The initial ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for Purchases is a fixed promotional rate as shown on page 1 of this Agreement and will remain in effect for your first six (6) billing cycles following the opening of your account ("Initial Rate Period for Purchases"). The Daily Periodic Rate during the Initial Rate Period for Purchases is 0%. After the Initial Rate Period for Purchases, the Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases based on the Current Index and Rate Spread described below will be .0493% and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will be 18.00%. After the Initial Rate Period for Purchases, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for Purchases will change to the current rate shown on page 1 of this Agreement. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for transfers of account balances you have with another creditor ("Balance Transfers") is a fixed rate as shown on page 1 of this Agreement and will be in effect for eight (8) billing cycles following the opening of your account. The Daily Periodic Rate for Balance Transfers during the eight-billing cycle period is 4.99%. The Daily Periodic Rate for Balance Transfers after the eight-billing cycle period based on the Current Index and Rate Spread described below will be .0493% and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will be 18.00%. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for Balance Transfers after the eight-billing cycle period will change to the current rate shown on page 1 of this Agreement. The current Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases and Balance Transfers is .0493%. The Daily Periodic Rate and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE may change (by increasing or decreasing) on the first day of each of your billing cycles that begin in March, June, September, and December. Each date on which the rate of interest could change is called a "Change Date." Changes will be based on changes in the "Index." The Index is the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar month prior to the month in which the Change Date occurs. The most recent Index is called the “Current Index.” If the Index is no longer available, we will choose a new index based upon comparable information and will give you notice of our choice. Your interest rate for Purchases is based on a variable rate equal to the sum of the Current Index plus a "Rate Spread" of 12.99 percentage points. (The Rate Spread is also called the Margin.) Immediately before each Change Date we will determine the new interest rate for Purchases by adding the Rate Spread to the Current Index. For example, if the Current Index was 7.00% and the Rate Spread 12.99 percentage points, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE would be 18.00% and by dividing this percentage figure by 365, we would compute a Daily Periodic Rate of .0493%. The new interest rate for Purchases will become effective at the start of your first billing cycle after the Change Date. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. The effect of any increase in the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE and the Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases would be to increase the amount of interest you must pay and thus increase your monthly payments.
FIXED RATES If a fixed rate is in this Agreement, it is based on an estimate of the costs for the period covered by the rate. When the actual costs for this period are determined, an adjustment will be made to a rate of a future year(s) to compensate for the difference between the costs used to establish the fixed rate and actual costs.
Variable Rate Transactions From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Debentures, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE For the first 60 payments, the interest rate on this loan will be 3.950%. Thereafter, the interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the One (1) year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the Index for this Note has become unavailable or unreliable, either temporarily, indefinitely, or permanently, during the term of this Note, Lender may amend this Note by designating a substantially similar substitute index. Lender may also amend and adjust any margin corresponding to the Index being substituted to accompany the substitute index. Margins corresponding to the Index are described in the "Payments" section. The change to the margin may be a positive or negative value, or zero. In making these amendments, Lender may take into consideration any then-prevailing market convention for selecting a substitute index and margin for the specific Index that is unavailable or unreliable. Such an amendment to the terms of this Note will become effective and bind Borrower 10 business days after Xxxxxx gives written notice to Borrower without any action or consent of the Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Xxxxxxxx's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each twelve (12) months. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be the rate or rates set forth herein in the "Payment" section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, after the first payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the due date of the last payment in the just-ending payment stream. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 3.950% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the maximum increase or decrease in the interest rate at any one time on this loan will not exceed 2.000 percentage points. The initial fixed rate is not considered in applying this limitation. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (D) continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final payment.
Applicable Interest Rates (a) U.S.
Fixed Rate In the event the Borrower has opted for a Fixed Rate of interest, the interest rate shall remain fixed throughout the tenure of the Loan. The applicable Fixed Rate shall be the prevailing interest rate on the date of disbursement.
Subsequent Variable Rate Transactions From the date hereof until such time as the Note is fully converted or fully repaid, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. The Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the various Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans being made by each Lender, and in respect of all unreimbursed Letters of Credit Obligations, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations (other than LIBOR Loans and Swing Line Loans), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time; and (ii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum, based on the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan outstanding from time to time. The Applicable Margins, on a per annum basis, are as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 3.00 % Applicable L/C Margin 3.00 % Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin 0.50 %
(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers, absent manifest error.
(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower Representative, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.
(e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower Representative - shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the applicable Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e). No Loan may be made as or converted into a LIBOR Loan until the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date or (ii) completion of primary syndication as determined by Agent.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.5(a) through (e) above, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Interest Generally Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
