Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Advances or Eurodollar Interest Periods), and (y) the One Month LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Alternate Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Advances or Eurodollar Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such request into a request for a borrowing of ABR Advances (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) 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.
