Quoted Rate At a fixed rate per annum to be quoted by Agent in its sole discretion in each instance. Under this option, rates may be fixed on such balances and for such periods, as may be agreeable to Agent in its sole discretion in each instance, provided that: (1) the minimum fixed period shall be 30 days; (2) amounts may be fixed in increments of $100,000.00 or multiples thereof; and (3) the maximum number of fixes in place at any one time shall be five.

LIBOR Rate The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:
Calculation of Borrowing Base For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Eligible Portfolio Investment by (y) the applicable Advance Rate; provided that:
Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO 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 Eurodollar Loans. 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 2.14(c) of this Agreement, such Section 2.14(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, 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 “LIBO 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 2.14(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Determination of Commercial Paper Rate If the Interest Rate Reset Basis specified above is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Commercial Paper Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “Commercial Paper Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield (as defined below) of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial”. In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or other recognized electronic source, the Commercial Paper Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.
Interest Rate Not Ascertainable If Agent shall determine that on any date for determining LIBOR, due to any circumstance affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate on the basis provided herein, then Agent shall immediately notify Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrowers that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans.
Base Rate The greater of (a) the variable annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Agent at Agent's Head Office as its "prime rate" or (b) one-half of one percent (0.5%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next one-eighth of one percent). The Base Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. Any change in the rate of interest payable hereunder resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate becomes effective, without notice or demand of any kind.
