Such assignments shall not be subject to any processing and/or recordation fees among the applicable Lenders, and the Borrower shall be responsible for any costs arising under Section 3.05 resulting from such reallocation, it being understood that the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid prepayment or assignment of any affected Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
