Interest Rate Contracts The Borrower shall at all times from and after the date of this Agreement maintain in full force and effect, an Interest Rate Contract(s) in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in an amount necessary to ensure that the outstanding “Debt” (as hereinafter defined) of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries that is Variable Rate Debt does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value of the Borrower. The Interest Rate Contract(s) shall be provided by any Bank which is a party to this Agreement or a bank or other financial institution that has unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed long-term debt which is rated at least A-3 by Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. or at least A- by Standard & Poor’s Corporation. The Borrower shall upon the request of the Agent provide to the Agent evidence that the Interest Rate Contract(s) is in effect. For the purposes of this §7.18, the term “Debt” shall mean any indebtedness of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any their respective Subsidiaries, whether or not contingent, and without duplication, in respect of (i) borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments or (ii) indebtedness secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest existing on property owned by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to the extent that any such items would appear as a liability on the balance sheet of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP, and also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the ordinary course of business), indebtedness of another Person (other than the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries) (it being understood that Debt shall be deemed to be incurred by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries whenever the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof).
Interest Rate Options The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that (i) there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.9 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.
Interest Rate Computations All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.
Interest Rate Agreements 13 Investment..................................................................13
Interest Rate Protection Agreements (a) Within ninety days after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into and thereafter maintain interest rate protection agreements (protecting against fluctuations in interest rates) having a term of at least three years from the Closing Date, establishing a fixed or maximum interest rate of 10.5% per annum for an aggregate notional amount equal to at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding.
Interest Rate Protection Agreement As of the date hereof, Borrower has entered into, made all payments required under, and satisfied all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, an interest rate protection agreement that satisfies all of the following conditions (such interest rate protection agreement together with (i) any extension thereof or (ii) any other interest rate protection agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.8, being referred to herein as the “Interest Rate Protection Agreement”):
Interest Rate Adjustments With respect to each ARM Mortgage Loan, all Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited.
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (a) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement in effect on the Closing Date has a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price and a scheduled termination date of the Initial Maturity Date. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) is in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) is with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) directs such Acceptable Counterparty to pay directly to an account pledged to Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Lender and Borrower that Lender will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof), and (iv) has a notional amount at least equal to the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the Closing Date (it being understood that the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced, from time to time, as the principal balance of the Loan is reduced (in the amounts of such reduction in principal) pursuant to clause (g) below). Borrower shall collaterally assign to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender), pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Collateral Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) and require that payments be paid directly into an account pledged to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) as provided above in this Section 2.2.7). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.
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 Payments The Indebtedness shall accrue interest at the rates and in the manner set forth in the Note. Borrower shall make payments of principal and interest at the times and in the manner set forth in the Note.
