1.3Section 3.03 is amended to read as follows:

3.03    Inability to Determine Rates; Successor LIBOR.

(a)    If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) either the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders determine in good faith 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (B) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether in
Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or
proposed Base Rate Loan which is based on the Eurodollar Base Rate, or (ii) the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall
be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest
Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate,
the utilization of the Eurodollar 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, which instruction shall be given by the
Required Lenders, as soon as the circumstances described in this Section 3.03 no
longer exist) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may
revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of
the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a pending request for a Eurodollar
Rate Loan or conversion or continuation in an Alternative Currency as to which
the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of
the first sentence of this subsection (a), the Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, may establish an alternative
interest rate that reflects the all-in-cost

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of funds to the Administrative Agent for funding Loans in the applicable
currency and amount, and with the same Interest Period as the Eurodollar Rate
Loan requested to be made, converted or continued, as the case may be (the
“Impacted Loans”), in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply
with respect to the Impacted Loans until (x) the Administrative Agent revokes
the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the
first sentence of this subsection (a), (y) the Required Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the
Impacted Loans, or (z) 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 Borrower
written notice thereof.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders
notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a
copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have
determined, that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including because the
LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such
circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the administrator of the
LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date
after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or
used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the
“Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or (iii) syndicated loans currently being
executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section,
are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new
benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR; then, reasonably promptly after such
determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent
of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may
amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate
(including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any)
incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing
convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for
such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”),
together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such
amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after
the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all
Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the
Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that
such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (i) of this subsection (b) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability
Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so
notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the
Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the
extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (B) the
Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base
Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to
the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (B)) in the amount
specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate
shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero
for purposes of this Agreement.

1.4A new clause (d) is added to Section 6.12 to read as follows:

(d)    the Borrower is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR §
2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans
