Base Rate Margin Clause Samples
The Base Rate Margin clause defines the additional percentage added to a base interest rate to determine the total interest rate payable on a loan. In practice, this margin is set in the loan agreement and is applied over a reference rate such as LIBOR or the lender’s prime rate, resulting in the borrower’s effective interest rate. This clause ensures transparency and predictability in how interest costs are calculated, allowing both parties to clearly understand the cost of borrowing and how it may fluctuate with changes in the base rate.
Base Rate Margin. The Base Rate Margin shall be equal to one percent (1%), except that during such time as Borrower maintains certain financial ratios, the Base Rate Margin may be lower as follows: If Borrower's Tangible Net Worth is greater than $10,000,000 AND Borrower's ratio of Debt to Tangible Net Worth is less than or equal to 1 to 1, then the Base Rate Margin shall be 0%. If Borrower's Tangible Net Worth is greater than $9,500,000 AND Borrower's ratio of Debt to Tangible Net Worth is less than or equal to 1.25 to 1, then the Base Rate Margin shall be .25%. If Borrower's Tangible Net Worth is greater than $9,000,000 AND Borrower's ratio of Debt to Tangible Net Worth is less than or equal to 1.5 to 1, then the Base Rate Margin shall be .5%. If Borrower's Tangible Net Worth is greater than $9,000,000 AND Borrower's ratio of Debt to Tangible Net Worth is less than or equal to 1.75 to 1, then the Base Rate Margin shall be .75%. If any of the criteria set forth above are not met for a particular interest rate, then the Base Rate Margin shall be the next highest rate for which both criteria have been met by Borrower.
