1.4 Interest Rates; Eurocurrency Rate Notification
The interest rate on Eurocurrency Tranches is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Tranches. 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 2.13(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.13(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. 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 “Eurocurrency 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 2.13(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
(l) Section 2.4(b) (Yield and Fees) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
The Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for transfer to the applicable recipient) certain Fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in (i) the fee agreement of even date herewith between the Seller, the Performance Undertaking Provider and the Administrative Agent (including any replacement thereof, the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter”) and (ii) the fee agreement of even date herewith between the Seller, the Performance Undertaking Provider, the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents (including any replacement thereof, the “Purchaser Agent Fee Letter”).
(m) Paragraph (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.9(c) (Payments and computations, etc.) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
(i) [Reserved];
(n) Section 2.13 (Inability to determine Eurocurrency Rate) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
2.13 | Inability to determine Eurocurrency Rate. |
(a) If prior to the commencement of any Tranche Period for a Eurocurrency Tranche:
(i) | the applicable Purchaser Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining on a timely basis the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Tranche Period; or |
(ii) | the applicable Purchaser Agent determines that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Tranche Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the applicable Purchasers of making or maintaining the related Tranche for such Tranche Period; |
then, such Purchaser Agent shall give notice thereof to the Seller, the Master Servicer and each other Purchaser Agent by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist any affected Eurocurrency Tranche shall as of the last day of the Tranche Period applicable thereto be converted to or continued as a Base Rate Tranche.
(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Seller or the Required Committed Purchasers notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Committed Purchasers, a copy to the Seller) that the Seller or the Required Committed Purchasers (as applicable) have determined that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.13(a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.13(a)(i) have not arisen but either (x) the administrator or the supervisor of the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Eurocurrency Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such Eurocurrency Rate) or (y) the supervisor for the administrator of Eurocurrency Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Eurocurrency Rate), then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any change that would result in a reduction of the Applicable Margin), giving due consideration to the then prevailing market for similar syndicated credit facilities in London for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Eurocurrency Successor Rate”). Any such change in the Eurocurrency Successor Rate, together with any such other related changes and any such amendment shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Committed Purchasers and the Seller unless, prior to such time, the Purchasers comprising the Required Committed Purchasers have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Committed Purchasers do not accept such amendment.
(c) If no Eurocurrency Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a)(i) or (b) of this Section exist (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Seller, each Committed Purchaser and each Conduit Purchaser. Thereafter, until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.13(b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b)(ii) of the first sentence of Section 2.13(b), only to the extent the Eurocurrency Rate for such Tranche Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), the final paragraph of Section 2.13(a) shall be applicable.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Eurocurrency Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Eurocurrency Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
(o) The following Section 5.1(z) (Transparency Requirements) shall be added immediately following Section 5.1(y):
(z) Transparency Requirements
The Seller agrees that it will comply with the transparency requirements to the extent applicable to it under the Securitisation Regulation Rules. In addition, the Seller agrees, at its cost and promptly on reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Committed Purchaser and any Conduit Purchaser, to provide such information as may reasonably be requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Committed Purchaser and any Conduit Purchaser in order to enable each Committed Purchaser (in its capacities as Committed Purchaser and as a Liquidity Bank) and Conduit Purchaser, as applicable, to comply with their respective obligations under Article 5 and/or Article 7 of the Securitisation Regulation. The Seller will not be in breach of the requirements in this Section 5.1(z) if, due to events, actions or circumstances beyond its control, it is not able to comply with the undertakings contained herein.
(p) The following Section 5.5 (Securitisation Regulation) shall be added immediately following Section 5.4:
5.5 Securitisation Regulation
(a) The Retention Holder, in its capacity as “originator” for the purposes of the Risk Retention Requirements will, in furtherance of complying with the Risk Retention Requirements, advance the Subordinated Loans to the Seller pursuant to the Subordinated Loan Agreement.
(b) The Retention Holder hereby undertakes, for so long as the securitization comprised in the Transaction Documents is ongoing, to:
(i) | hold and retain a material net economic interest in the securitization comprised in the Transaction Documents in an amount equal to at least five percent (5.00%) in the form of the retention of the first loss tranche in accordance with option (d) of Article 6(3) of the Securitisation Regulation and the related provisions of the Securitisation Regulation Rules (together, the “Risk Retention Requirements”) by its provision of the Subordinated Loan to the Seller; |
(ii) | not change the manner or form in which it retains such net economic interest, except to the extent permitted under the text of the Securitisation Regulation Rules; |
(iii) | not transfer, sell or hedge or otherwise enter into any credit risk mitigation, short position or any other credit risk hedge with respect to such net economic interest, except to the extent permitted under the Securitisation Regulation Rules; |
(iv) | at all times confirm, promptly upon the written request of the Seller, the continued compliance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; and |
(v) | promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent if for any reason it (A) ceases to hold the retention in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or (B) fails to comply with the covenants set out in this Agreement in respect of the retention. |
(c) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Retention Holder, shall certify in each Monthly Report delivered with respect to the last month of each calendar quarter the Retention Holder’s ongoing compliance with the undertakings contained herein.
(d) It is agreed that any covenant in the Transaction Documents requiring retention of risk in accordance with Article 405 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and/or Article 122a of Directive 2006/48/EC as amended by Directive 2009/111/EC (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, successors thereto), shall no longer apply.
(q) Schedule 1 (Purchaser Groups) shall be deleted and replaced with Exhibit A hereto.
(r) Schedule 3 (Credit and Collection Policies) shall be deleted and replaced with Exhibit B hereto
(s) Schedule 9 (Excluded Obligors) shall be deleted and replaced with Exhibit C hereto.
