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.

Each such notice of a Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

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.
