At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

Competitive Bid Loans The Company may obtain loans under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 pursuant to the competitive bid procedures set forth in the Section 1.10 ("Competitive Bid Loans"), subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.1 or 1.1 (as the case may be), except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.10. Each Bank may make such Competitive Bid Loans to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in such amounts as such Bank, in its sole discretion, desires to make to the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 1.1, the aggregate outstanding amount of Competitive Bid Loans made against the Aggregate Commitment shall reduce each Bank's Commitment pro rata in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest, regardless of which Bank makes such Competitive Bid Loans. Any Competitive Bid Loan made under the Demand Line shall be due and payable upon demand in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms of such Competitive Bid Loan. The procedure for making Competitive Bid Loans shall be as follows:
(a) The Company may make requests for bids from the Banks to make Competitive Bid Loans ("Competitive Bids") not later than 9:00 a.m., Milwaukee time, on the proposed borrowing date for one or more Competitive Bid Loans. Each such request shall be given directly to each of the Banks, shall be given in writing (which may be a facsimile transmission) signed by the Company, and shall specify (I) the proposed borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Bid Loans, which shall not be less than $1,000,000 or, for amounts in excess thereof, an integral multiple of $100,000, (iii) the interest period for each Competitive Bid Loan ("Loan Period"), which shall commence on the applicable borrowing date and end on a specified date thereafter not exceeding 180 days from such borrowing date (up to three (3) Loan Periods may be requested pursuant to each Competitive Bid), and the last day of each such Loan Period, and (iv) if more than one Loan Period is so specified, the principal amount allocable to each such Loan Period.
(b) Each Bank in its sole discretion may (but is not obligated to) submit one or more Competitive Bids to the Company not later than 11:00 a.m., Milwaukee time, on the proposed borrowing date specified in such request for Competitive Bids (such 11:00 a.m. time being herein called the "Submission Deadline") by facsimile or in writing, and thereby irrevocably offer to make all or any part (any such part referred to as a "Portion") of any Competitive Bid Loan described in the relevant request for Competitive Bids at a fixed rate of interest per annum (each a "Bid Rate") specified therein, without reference to the LIBOR Rate or other basis for interest rates, in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and, for amounts in excess thereof, an integral multiple of $100,000. Multiple Competitive Bids may be delivered by any Bank.
(c) The Company shall, in its sole discretion but subject to paragraph (d) below, irrevocably accept or reject any such Competitive Bid (or any Portion thereof) not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed borrowing date by notice to the appropriate Bank by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly delivered to such Bank and the Agent the same day). If a Bank fails to receive notice from the Company of its acceptance or rejection of any Competitive Bids made by such Bank at or prior to 12:00 noon on such day, all such Competitive Bids shall be deemed to have been rejected by the Company. The Company's written acceptance of any Competitive Bid shall constitute a borrowing notice of the Company, and shall specify the amount, maturity date and Bid Rate for each Competitive Bid Loan. The Company will give written notice to the Agent in the form of Part 3 to Exhibit 2.1 hereto on each Business Day on which there is any change in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans, setting forth the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding after giving effect to any Competitive Bid Loans made on such Business Day.
(d) If the Company accepts a Portion of a proposed Competitive Bid Loan for a single Loan Period at the Bid Rate provided therefor in a Bank's Competitive Bid, such Portion shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or, for amounts in excess thereof, an integral multiple of $100,000. If the Company accepts any Competitive Bid Loan or Portion offered in any Competitive Bid, the Company must accept Competitive Bids (and Competitive Bid Loans and Portions thereby offered) based exclusively upon the successively lowest Bid Rates within each Loan Period an no other criteria. If two (2) or more Banks submit Competitive Bids with identical Bid Rates for the same Loan Period and the Company accepts any thereof, the Company shall accept all such Competitive Bids as nearly as possible in proportion to the amounts of such Banks' respective Competitive Bids with identical Bid Rates for such Loan Period, provided, that if the amount of Competitive Bid Loans to be so allocated is not sufficient to enable each such Bank to make such Competitive Bid Loan (or Portions thereof) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or for amounts in excess thereof, an integral multiple of $100,000, the Company shall round the Competitive Bid Loans (or Portions thereof) allocated to such Bank or Banks as the Company shall select as necessary to a minimum of $1,000,000 and, if greater than $1,000,000 the nearest multiple of $100,000, or select the Competitive Bid of only one of such Banks.
(e) Not later than 1:30 p.m., Milwaukee time, on the relevant borrowing date, each Bank whose Competitive Bid was accepted by the Company shall make available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of such Bank's Competitive Bid Loan(s). Upon fulfillment of the applicable borrowing conditions, the Agent shall deposit in the Company's account maintained with the Agent or as the Company may otherwise direct in writing on the relevant borrowing date the proceeds of such Competitive Bid Loans, in immediately available funds.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the name of such Borrower, (B) the date of such borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) (C) the applicable Currency for such Swing Line Loans, (D) the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans (stated in the applicable Currency) and (E) the requested amount and the requested Interest Period and maturity date with respect to each Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance and Swing Line Loan made as an ABR Advance. Upon receipt from the Parent and the applicable Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing which requests one or more Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advances, the Swing Line Lender shall, following discussion with the Parent regarding the proposed Swing Line Negotiated Rate for such Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance, confirm in writing to the Parent the applicable Swing Line Negotiated Rate by (x) 4:00 P.M. on the requested Borrowing Date in the case of a Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance in Dollars, (y) 12:00 Noon one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of a Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance in Pounds Sterling and (z) 12:00 Noon two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of a Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance in a Core Currency (other than Dollars and Pounds Sterling).
