Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.11(a), Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type (it being understood that such Conversion of a Revolving Credit Advance or of its Interest Period does not constitute a repayment or prepayment of such Revolving Credit Advance); provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). 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.
Tranche B Loans Each Lender severally agrees to lend to Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, from time to time during the period from the date of entry of the Interim Borrowing Order to but excluding the Termination Date an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Commitments as Tranche B Loans, solely pursuant to subsection 3.3B, it being understood that the entry of the Interim Borrowing Order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is a condition precedent to each Lender's Tranche B Commitment, and all Tranche B Commitments shall immediately terminate should the Interim Borrowing Order not be so entered. The original amount of each Lender's Tranche B Commitment is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto and the aggregate original amount of the Tranche B Commitments is $367,853,962.03; provided that the Tranche B Commitments of Lenders shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignments of the Tranche B Commitments pursuant to subsection 10.1B, and shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4A or 6.12, and shall be reduced on the date of entry of the Interim Borrowing Order and on the date of entry of the Final Borrowing Order to an amount (on each date) equal to the maximum amount which is on such date, or at any time thereafter may become, available to be drawn under the Existing L/Cs (and any reduction of the Tranche B Commitments on the date of entry of the Interim Borrowing Order or the Final Borrowing Order shall be applied to each Lender's Tranche B Commitment ratably). Each Lender's Tranche B Commitment shall expire on the Termination Date and all Tranche B Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Tranche B Loans and the Tranche B Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsequently repaid may not be reborrowed. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Tranche B Commitments at any time exceed the Tranche B Commitments then in effect.
Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c).
Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain, or to convert outstanding Loans to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.15 or (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 2.16(a) with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and, in any such case, the Borrower shall, by at least four Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:
(i) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders); and
(ii) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal that would otherwise be applied to repay such Loans shall instead be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans. If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.
