Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “ Notice of Interest Rate Election ”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000, (iii) there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods applicable to the LIBOR Loans outstanding at any one time, (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.
 
(b)   Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(a)   Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.6 or at the Maturity Date, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Alternate Base Rate Loans for such day plus the Alternate Base Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date.
 
(b)   Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans for such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date.
 
The “ Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ” applicable to a particular Interest Period shall mean a rate per annum equal to the product arrived at by multiplying the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period by a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which shall be the number one and the denominator of which shall be the number one minus the aggregate reserve percentages (expressed as a decimal) from time to time established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States and any other banking authority to which the Administrative Agent is now or hereafter subject, including, but not limited to, any reserve on Eurocurrency Liabilities as defined in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States at the ratios provided in such Regulation from time to time, it being agreed that each LIBOR Loan shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined by such Regulation, and it being further agreed that such Eurocurrency Liabilities shall be deemed to be subject to such reserve requirements without benefit of or credit for prorations, exceptions or offsets that may be available to the Administrative Agent from time to time under such Regulation and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent actually maintains all or any portion of such reserve.
 
The “ London Interbank Offered Rate ” applicable to a particular Interest Period shall mean a rate per annum equal to the rate for U.S. dollar deposits with maturities comparable to such Interest Period as shown in Dow Jones Markets (formerly Telerate) (Page 3750) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; provided , however , that if such rate does not appear on Dow Jones Markets, the “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to a particular Interest Period shall mean a rate per annum equal to the rate at which U.S. dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the applicable LIBOR Loan(s), and with maturities comparable to the last day of the Interest Period with respect to which such London Interbank Offered Rate is applicable, are offered in immediately available funds in the London Interbank Market to the London office of the Administrative Agent by leading banks in the Eurodollar market at 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Period to which such London Interbank Offered Rate is applicable.

Any amounts due and unpaid hereunder shall be payable upon demand therefor.
 
(d)   The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Committed Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall send an invoice to the Borrowers setting forth the interest due at least five (5) Domestic Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, provided that failure to do so shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder to pay interest.
