Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Advances The Borrower shall select the Type and Class of Advance and, in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing/Election Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (a) on or before the Borrowing Date of each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and (b) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type and Class of Advance selected; and (iv) in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, however, that with respect to the borrowing on the Funding Date, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(b) and shall be accompanied by the documentation specified in such Section, if applicable. The Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, it will not be necessary to prepay all or any portion of any Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make mandatory prepayments as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance, in the case of Advances of Floating Rate Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Alternate Base Rate, changing when and as such Alternate Base Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Floating Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Advance, changing when and as the Applicable Margin changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Eurodollar Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Applicable Margin.
Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances The Company shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:
Duration of normal Interest Periods Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.4, each Interest Period shall be:
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.
Notification of Interest Periods and rates of normal interest The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of:
Base Rate Option A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
Conversions and Elections of Subsequent Interest Periods Subject to the limitations set forth below and in Article IV hereof, the Borrower may:
Selection of Interest Rate Options At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.
