Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which this Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that: (A) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof; and (B) the interest rate in effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if specified on the face hereof, or, if not so specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
Interest Rate Adjustment The interest rate payable on the Notes shall be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., or any successor thereto (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of XxXxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any successor thereto (“S&P”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, as set forth below. If the rating from Moody’s of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance (the “Original Interest Rate”) by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: Rating Percentage Ba1 0.25 % Ba2 0.50 % Ba3 0.75 % B1 or below 1.00 % If the rating from S&P of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: Rating Percentage BB+ 0.25 % BB 0.50 % BB- 0.75 % B+ or below 1.00 % Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the interest rate on the Notes has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth in the tables above, the interest rate on the Notes shall be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Moody’s subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to Baa3 or higher and S&P increases its rating to BBB- or higher the interest rate on the Notes shall be decreased to the Original Interest Rate. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the Notes be reduced to below the Original Interest Rate or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes exceed 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Notes, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating of the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. Any interest rate increase or decrease described above shall take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. The interest rate on the Notes shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both rating agencies) and, if applicable, shall be decreased to the Original Interest Rate, if the Notes become rated Baa2 and BBB or higher by Moody’s and S&P, respectively (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by each of the rating agencies.
Interest Rate Determination (a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.11(a) or (b), and, if applicable, the rate for the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate under Section 2.11(c).
Treasury Rate Notes If the Interest Rate Basis is the Treasury Rate, this Note shall be deemed a “Treasury Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “Treasury Rate” means: (1) the rate from the auction held on the Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof under
Alternate Rate of Interest If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
Interest on Fixed Rate Notes Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date at the rate(s) per annum equal to the Rate(s) of Interest. Interest will be payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year up to (and including) the Maturity Date. If the Notes are in definitive form, except as provided in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount. Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Final Terms, amount to the Broken Amount so specified. As used in the Conditions, Fixed Interest Period means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date. Except in the case of Notes in definitive form where an applicable Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Final Terms, interest shall be calculated in respect of any period by applying the Rate of Interest to:
Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.14(c) of this Agreement, such Section 2.14(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Prime Rate Notes If the Interest Rate Basis is the Prime Rate, this Note shall be deemed a “Prime Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “Prime Rate” means: (1) the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Bank Prime Loan”; or (2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Bank Prime Loan”, or (3) if the rate referred to in clause (2) is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as the applicable bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date; or (4) if fewer than four rates referred to in clause (3) are so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the purchasing agent) in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; or (5) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (4), the Prime Rate in effect on the particular Interest Determination Date. “Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page” means the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the “US PRIME 1” page (or any other page as may replace that page on that service) for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.
Interest Rate Limitation Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Limit on Rate of Interest (a) No Payment shall exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.
