If any Borrower desires to have the Revolving Credit Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, with respect to LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, and BA Rate, with respect to LIBOR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Borrower Representative must comply with Section 2.5(e). All Revolving Credit Advances (x) made to a U.S. Borrower shall be denominated in Dollars and (y) made to a Canadian Borrower shall be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars but shall be deemed to have been made (in the case of Canadian Dollar Revolving Credit Advances) in the Dollar Equivalent of such Revolving Credit Advance.

Reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure Upon any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected through an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, (a) if the increase relates to the Revolving Credit Facility, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Incremental Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (c) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Sections 2.02 and 2.05(a) of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
