The interest rate on the Note shall be the interest rate agreed to by PCT and MWV on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Parties Agreed Rate”); provided, however, that in the event MWV and PCT are unable to agree on the interest rate for any reason, such rate shall be the interest rate determined on or prior to the Closing Date by Bank of America ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., jointly, based on the all-in yield (consisting of the 10 year United States Treasury rate plus a new issue credit spread) equal to what PCT would be required to pay in a hypothetical $860,000,000 new issue debt offering of ten (10) year public unsecured bonds issued at par to large United States institutional investors (after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the transactions contemplated herein and capital structure of PCT on the Closing Date) (the “Banker Agreed Rate”). For the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of whether the Parties Agreed Rate is agreed by the Parties on the Closing Date, the Banker Agreed Rate will be determined and acknowledged by the Parties on or prior to the Closing Date. b. $5,002,163 by wire transfer of immediately available funds by PCT to MWV at Closing to an account designated by MWV in exchange for certain Installment Sale Timberlands; c. $4,100,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds by PCT to MWV at Closing to an account designated by MWV in exchange for the Non-Installment Sale Timberlands; d. $10,000,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds by PCT to MWV at Closing to an account designated by MWV in exchange for the Timberlands Contracts; and e. $55,000,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Highland Mineral to MWV at the Closing to an account designated by MWV in exchange for the Mineral Rights. Purchaser may, at its election, make the 2.1(b) through (e) wire transfers with one (1) wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to the aggregate amount of 2.1(b) through (e). 2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no portion of the Cash Consideration is exchanged for the Installment Sale Timberlands and no portion of the Note is exchanged for any Assets other than the Installment Sale Timberlands.
