Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Advances The Borrower shall select the Type and Class of Advance and, in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing/Election Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (a) on or before the Borrowing Date of each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and (b) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type and Class of Advance selected; and (iv) in the case of each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, however, that with respect to the borrowing on the Funding Date, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(b) and shall be accompanied by the documentation specified in such Section, if applicable. The Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, it will not be necessary to prepay all or any portion of any Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make mandatory prepayments as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Advance of Floating Rate Loans and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance, in the case of Advances of Floating Rate Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Alternate Base Rate, changing when and as such Alternate Base Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Floating Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Advance of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Advance, changing when and as the Applicable Margin changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of the Loans maintained as Eurodollar Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Applicable Margin.
Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances The Company shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:
Method of Borrowing for Revolving Loans By no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the date of the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans that will be Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days prior to the date of the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans that will be Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall telephone the Administrative Agent as well as submit a written Notice of Borrowing in the form of Exhibit 2.1(b) to the Administrative Agent setting forth (A) the amount requested, (B) the date of the requested Borrowing, (C) the Type of Revolving Loan, (D) with respect to Revolving Loans that will be Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (E) certification that the Borrower has complied in all respects with Section 5. If the Borrower shall fail to specify (1) an Interest Period in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to have an Interest Period of one month or (2) the Type of Revolving Loan requested, then such Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan. All Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall be Base Rate Loans. Thereafter, all or any portion of the Revolving Loans may be converted into Eurodollar Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3.
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans (a) Each Revolving Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to LIBOR Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to LIBOR Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Revolving Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Floating Rate Loans; provided that, if the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is unavailable, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to LIBOR Floating Rate Loans or, if applicable, Base Rate Loans, shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Revolving Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have requested a LIBOR Floating Rate Loan.
Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans Section 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans
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.
Procedure for Revolving Advances Borrowing (a) Borrower may notify Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day of Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable.
Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Loans Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent and received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a Swing Loan, and (ii) on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of all other requests, specifying (A) the amount of such Borrowing, and (B) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 10:00 a.m. on the applicable Business Day. 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, Borrowers agree 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.
Duration of normal Interest Periods Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.4, each Interest Period shall be:
Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans (a) Subject to Section 4.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans (without premium or penalty), or to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or to continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBOR Loan, or to continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans.
