Changes in Commitment Fee; Determination of Debt Rating Sample Clauses

The "Changes in Commitment Fee; Determination of Debt Rating" clause defines how the commitment fee paid by a borrower may be adjusted based on the borrower's credit rating or debt rating. In practice, this clause typically outlines the process for determining the applicable debt rating, such as referencing ratings from major credit agencies, and specifies how changes in these ratings will affect the fee percentage charged on undrawn loan commitments. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the cost of borrowing reflects the borrower's current creditworthiness, thereby allocating risk and incentivizing the maintenance of a strong credit profile.

In the event the General Partner and the Borrower have different ratings, the rating of the higher rated entity shall be used.

If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin, LIBOR Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Advances and the differential on the Facility Fees during such period of upgrade.
