If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders that would be obligated to make Credit Extensions denominated in such requested currency consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Lenders reasonably determine that a Eurocurrency Base Rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and (i) the Administrative Agent and such Lenders may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate for any Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency to the extent necessary to add the applicable Eurocurrency Base Rate for such currency and (ii) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate reflects the appropriate interest rate for such currency or has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a LIBOR Quoted Currency or a Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency, as applicable, for purposes of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and (A) the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate for any Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency to the extent necessary to add the applicable Eurocurrency Base Rate for such currency and (B) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate reflects the appropriate interest rate for such currency or has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a LIBOR Quoted Currency or a Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency, as applicable, for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company. Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.

(i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate;

(d) Section 3.03. Section 3.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

(a) Committed Loans. If in connection with any request for a Committed Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (i), “Impacted Committed Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Committed Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Base Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Base Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b) Canadian Loans. If in connection with any request for a Canadian Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a BA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Canadian Loan or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Canadian Loan or in connection (the “Impacted Canadian Loans” and collectively with the Impacted Committed Loans, the “Impacted Loans”) or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lender determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Canadian Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Canadian Lender of funding such Canadian Loan, the Canadian Lender will promptly so notify the Canadian Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the obligation of the Canadian Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Canadian Loans or Interest Periods) until the Canadian Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) or (b)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a)(i) or (b)(i) of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e), other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

******

(iii) [reserved]; or

(f) Section 3.04. A new Section 3.04(e) is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

(e) Mandatory Costs and Additional Reserve Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer incurs any Mandatory Costs attributable to the Obligations, then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such Mandatory Costs. Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and shall be payable on the full amount of the applicable Obligations. The Company shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement (excluding any such requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

(g) Section 4.08. A new Section 4.08 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement immediately following Section 4.07 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

4.08 Keepwell.

The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

(h) Section 9.03. The following sentence is hereby added at the end of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

(i) Section 11.01. Section 11.01(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
