The Borrower will select the applicable rate option at the time it requests a loan hereunder and may, subject to the limitations set forth above, elect to convert balances bearing interest at the variable rate option to one of the fixed rate options. If the Borrower fails to elect an interest rate option, interest will accrue at the variable interest rate option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, rates may not be fixed for periods expiring after the maturity date of the loans and rates may not be fixed in such a manner as to cause the Borrower to have to break any fixed rate balance in order to pay any installment of principal. All elections provided for herein will be made telephonically or in writing and must be received by 12:00 p.m. Denver, Colorado time. Interest will be calculated on the actual number of days each loan is outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and will be payable monthly in arrears by the 20th day of the following month or on such other day as Agent will require in a written notice to the Borrower ("Interest Payment Date").

In addition to the above, the Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the loans at the times and in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. SECTION 7. PREPAYMENT. Subject to the broken funding surcharge provision of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, on one Business Day's prior written notice, prepay all or any portion of the loan(s).
