The applicable LIBOR rate period will be the next closest LIBOR rate period to the number of days between the Advance Date and including the Maturity Date for the applicable Service Invoice e.g. for Service Invoices with a Maturity Date which is any of 151 to 180 days after the Advance Date then the LIBOR rate period shall be 180 days).
