(c) Section 1.9 (c)
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:
“(c) If,
on or prior to the third anniversary of the Third Amendment Date,
Borrower prepays the Revolving Loan and/or reduces or terminates
the Revolving Loan Commitment, whether voluntarily or involuntarily
and whether before or after acceleration of the Obligations or if
the Revolving Loan Commitments are reduced or terminated, Borrower
shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders as liquidated
damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make
funds available hereunder an amount equal to the Applicable
Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by the amount of the
reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment. As used herein, the
term “ Applicable Percentage ” shall mean
(x) one and one half of one percent (1.5%), in the case of a
reduction on or prior to the first anniversary of the Third
Amendment Date, (y) one percent (1%), in the case of a

but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof and (z) one
half of one percent (0.5%), in the case of a reduction after the
second anniversary of the Third Amendment Date but on or prior to
the third anniversary thereof. The Credit Parties agree that the
Applicable Percentages are a reasonable calculation of
Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and
impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an
early termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no prepayment fee shall be payable by Borrower upon
a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Sections 1.3(b)
1.16(c) or 5.4(d) ; provided that Borrower does not
permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment upon
any such prepayment and, in the case of prepayments made pursuant

giving rise to the applicable prepayment is a sale of a Subsidiary
or division of Borrower expressly permitted under
Section 6 .”

amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

follows, is hereby added to the Credit Agreement immediately
