No change in the Applicable Margin or Applicable

(3) Business Days after the date on which Administrative Agent
shall have received the applicable financial statements and a

In the event that any financial statement delivered

corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable
Margin or Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage for any

Margin or Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage applied
for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct certificate
for such Applicable Period, (ii) the
-2-
Applicable Margin and the Applicable Revolving
Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined as if the Total
Leverage Ratio was as set forth in the correct certificate for such
Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall promptly pay
to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or
fees, as applicable, that would have been due and payable at such
time as a result of such increased Applicable Margin or Applicable
Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage for such Applicable
Period.
