(c)    Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) references to formation documents, governing documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (ii) references to any Applicable Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Applicable Law.

1.4Amendments to Section 6.04. Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

SECTION 6.04 Financial Covenants.

So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the Borrower will, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis to Consolidated Total Capitalization of not more than 0.70 to 1.0; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the maximum ratio of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis to Consolidated Total Capitalization as provided in Section 6.04 of the Bank of America Credit Agreement (or other corresponding section as subsequently amended or modified) is less than the maximum ratio of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis to Consolidated Total Capitalization as provided in this Section 6.04, then such ratio in the Bank of America Credit Agreement shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if set forth fully herein, mutatis mutandis.
