circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may (and in the
case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii), the
Borrower shall within the time period required by law) either (x) if the
affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said
Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed
promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by
a Lender pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), or (y) if the affected
Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' notice
to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such
Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the
circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the
last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (or such
earlier date as shall be required by applicable law)); PROVIDED that if more
than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be
treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b).
(c) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or
effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case
after the Pre-Closing Start Date, or compliance by such Lender or its parent
corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency first made after the Pre-Closing Start Date, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or its parent corporation's
capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or its parent corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 10
Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction.
Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be
payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall describe the basis for such claim
and set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any
of the Borrower's obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
1.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.
1.11 COMPENSATION. (a) The Borrower shall, without duplication,
compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth
the basis for requesting such compensation and reasonably detailed calculations
thereof), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender
to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding in any event the loss of anticipated
profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by any Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans by the Borrower does not occur on a date specified theref or in a Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower
or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment,
repayment or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is
not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a
notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any
other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when required by the
terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b).
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent any notice or request required by Section 1.10, 1.11, 1A.06 or 3.04
of this Agreement is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender
obtained, or reasonably should have obtained, knowledge of the occurrence of the
