The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing.
Requests for Swing Loans Borrower shall give Administrative Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral) no later than 12:00 Noon on the date upon which Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and, if applicable, the Interest Period requested therefor. Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from Borrower. After receiving such notice, the Swing Line Lender shall in its discretion quote an interest rate to Borrower at which the Swing Line Lender would be willing to make such Swing Loan available to Borrower for the Interest Period so requested (the rate so quoted for a given Interest Period being herein referred to as “Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate”). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate quote is given for immediate and irrevocable acceptance. If Borrower does not so immediately accept the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate for the full amount requested by Borrower for such Swing Loan, the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate shall be deemed immediately withdrawn and such Swing Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum determined by adding the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit to the Base Rate as from time to time in effect. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of each Swing Loan extended to Borrower shall be deposited or otherwise wire transferred to Borrower’s Designated Disbursement Account or as Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender may otherwise agree. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the undertaking of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (provided that the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to an advance of any Swing Loan have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders).

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Requests for Revolving Credit Loans Except with respect to the initial Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit H hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit H hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by noon (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.
