LIBOR Rate The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:
Base Rate The greater of (a) the variable annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Agent at Agent's Head Office as its "prime rate" or (b) one-half of one percent (0.5%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next one-eighth of one percent). The Base Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. Any change in the rate of interest payable hereunder resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate becomes effective, without notice or demand of any kind.
Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders with respect to the various Loans made by each Lender (or in the case of the Swing Line Loan, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender), in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as Index Rate Loans (and for all other Obligations not otherwise set forth below), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as LIBOR Loans, at the election of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum; (ii) with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as an Index Rate Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Index Margin per annum or, with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as a LIBOR Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin per annum; and (iii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum. As of the Closing Date, the Applicable Margins are as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 2.75 % Applicable Term Loan Index Margin 1.50 % Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin 2.75 % The Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin shall be adjusted (up or down) prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial performance, commencing with the first day of the first calendar month that occurs more than one (1) day after delivery of Holdings’ quarterly Financial Statements to Lenders for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2008. Adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin will be determined by reference to the following grids: If Leverage Ratio is: Level of Applicable Margins: < 2.50:1.00 Level I › 2.50:1.00, but < 3.00:1.00 Level II › 3.00:1.00, but < 3.50:1.00 Level III › 3.50:1.00, but < 5.00:1.00 Level IV › 5.00:1.00 Level V Applicable Margins Level I Level II Level III Level IV Level V Applicable Revolver Index Margin 0.50% 1.00% 1.25% 1.50% 2.00% Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 1.75% 2.25% 2.50% 2.75% 3.25% All adjustments in the Applicable Revolver Index Margin and the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin after March 31, 2008 shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, for each calendar month commencing at least one (1) day after the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, such Applicable Margins. Failure to timely deliver such Financial Statements in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in such Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the first day of the first calendar month following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If any Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in such Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which all Defaults or Events of Default are waived or cured.
Applicable Margin On any date the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be as set forth below based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness of REIT and its respective Subsidiaries to the Gross Asset Value of REIT and its respective Subsidiaries: Pricing Level Ratio LIBOR Rate Loans Base Rate Loans Pricing Level 1 Less than or equal to 35% 2.50 % 1.25 % Pricing Level 2 Greater than 35% but less than or equal to 40% 2.75 % 1.50 % Pricing Level 3 Greater than 40% but less than or equal to 45% 3.00 % 1.75 % Pricing Level 4 Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 55% 3.25 % 2.00 % Pricing Level Ratio LIBOR Rate Loans Base Rate Loans Pricing Level 5 Greater than 55% 3.50 % 2.25 % The initial Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 4. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month following the delivery by Borrower to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate after the end of a calendar quarter. In the event that Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin for Loans shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, or waived in writing by the Required Lenders, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month following receipt of such Compliance Certificate. In the event that the Agent and the Borrower determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.
Payment at Highest Lawful Rate If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Quoted Rate At a fixed rate per annum to be quoted by Agent in its sole discretion in each instance. Under this option, rates may be fixed on such balances and for such periods, as may be agreeable to Agent in its sole discretion in each instance, provided that: (1) the minimum fixed period shall be 30 days; (2) amounts may be fixed in increments of $100,000.00 or multiples thereof; and (3) the maximum number of fixes in place at any one time shall be five.
Applicable Interest Rate 5.10.1 In respect of Pre-Delivery Interest Periods or Interest Periods pursuant to Clause 5.3.1 and subject to Clause 5.3.1, Clause 5.12 and Clause 6, the rate of interest applicable to the Loan (or relevant part in the case of the division of the Loan under Clause 5.8) during a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period shall be the Floating Interest Rate.
Reserve Percentage For any Interest Period, that percentage which is specified three (3) Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over Agent or any Lender for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, but not limited to, any marginal reserve requirement) for Agent or any Lender with respect to liabilities constituting of or including (among other liabilities) Eurocurrency liabilities in an amount equal to that portion of the Loan affected by such Interest Period and with a maturity equal to such Interest Period.
Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, plus any increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. No more than four Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.
