Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBO Rate Tranche B Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to $1,000,000; and if any LIBO Rate Loan would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Tranche B Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan during such period.

(d) The failure of any Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Tranche B Lender of its obligation to make any Tranche B Loan required to be made by it, and no Tranche B Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche B Lender to make any Tranche B Loan.
(e) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days' prior and irrevocable written notice to the Agent, to terminate or reduce the Tranche B Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as determined by the Borrowers and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (ii) allocated (A) either ratably among the Tranche B Lenders in proportion to their respective Tranche B Commitments; or (B) in the case of a termination of the Tranche B Commitment of a dissenting Tranche B Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(h), allocated solely to such Tranche B Lender; provided, that the Tranche B Commitment Amounts may not be reduced to an amount less than the Tranche B Loan Balance. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Tranche B Lender of any termination or reduction of the Tranche B Commitments. Any termination of the Tranche B Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) is permanent and may not be revoked.
