4 | 0.35% |
(b) On, and at all times after, the Investment Grade Rating Date, the percentage set forth in the table below corresponding to the Level at which the “Applicable Margin” is determined in accordance with the definition thereof.
Level | Facility Fee |
1 | 0.15% |
2 | 0.20% |
3 | 0.25% |
4 | 0.30% |
Any change in the applicable Level at which the Applicable Margin is determined shall result in a corresponding and simultaneous change in the Applicable Facility Fee. The provisions of this definition shall be subject to Section 2.4.(c).
“Applicable Margin” means:
(a) Prior to the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Applicable Margin shall be determined pursuant to this clause (a) from time to time based on the percentage rate set forth in the table below corresponding to the level (each, a “Level”) in which the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value as determined from time to time in accordance with Section 8.1.(b) in effect at such time falls:
Level | Ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value | Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans | Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans |
1 | Less than 0.450 to 1.00 | 1.20% | 1.20% |
2 | Equal to or greater than 0.450 to 1.00 but less than 0.500 to 1.00 | 1.25% | 1.25% |
3 | Equal to or greater than 0.500 to 1.00 but less than 0.550 to 1.00 | 1.30% | 1.30% |
4 | Equal to or greater than 0.550 | 1.55% | 1.55% |
The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, based on the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value as set forth in the Compliance Certificate most recently delivered by the Parent pursuant to Section 7.1.(a)(iii). Any adjustment to the Applicable Margin shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month during which the Parent delivers to the Administrative Agent the applicable Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.1.(a)(iii). If the Parent fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.1.(a)(iii), the Applicable Margin shall equal the percentage corresponding to
-2-
Exhibit 10.1
Level 4 until the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month that the required Compliance Certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period from the Second Amendment Effective Date through but excluding the date on which the Administrative Agent first determines the Applicable Margin as set forth above, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 2. Thereafter, until the Investment Grade Rating Date, such Applicable Margin shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth in this clause (a).
(b) On, and at all times after, the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Applicable Margin shall be determined pursuant to this clause (b) based on the percentage rate set forth in the table below corresponding to the Level in which the Parent’s Credit Rating falls. During any period that the Parent has received Credit Ratings from each of S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x that are not equivalent and the difference between the highest and lowest of such Credit Ratings is (i) one Level, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the highest of such Credit Ratings or (ii) two or more Levels, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the average of the two highest Credit Ratings (unless the average is not a recognized Level, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the second highest Credit Rating). During any period that the Parent has received only two Credit Ratings from any of S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x that are not equivalent and the difference between such Credit Ratings is (x) one Level, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the higher of such Credit Ratings or (y) two or more Levels, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the average of both such Credit Ratings (unless the average is not a recognized Level, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Credit Rating one Level below the Level corresponding to the higher Credit Rating). During any period that the Parent has only received a Credit Rating from Xxxxx’x or S&P, then the Applicable Margin shall be based upon such Credit Rating. During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date that the Parent has (A) not received a Credit Rating from any Rating Agency or (B) only received a Credit Rating from a Rating Agency that is neither S&P nor Xxxxx’x, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 4 in the table below. Any change in the Parent’s Credit Rating which would cause it to move to a different Level shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following such change.
Level | Credit Rating (S&P/Fitch/Xxxxx’x) | Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans | Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans |
1 | BBB+/Baa1 or better | 0.925% | 0.925% |
2 | BBB/Baa2 | 1.000% | 1.000% |
3 | BBB-/Baa3 | 1.200% | 1.200% |
