     (viii) the  Borrower's  current  Index  Debt  rating.

If  no  election  as  to  the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the
requested  Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period
is  specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then
the  Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's
duration,  in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing.  Promptly following receipt of
a  Borrowing  Request  in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall  advise  each  Lender  of  the  details  thereof and of the amount of such
Lender's  Loan  to  be  made  as  part  of  the  requested  Borrowing."
