(d) | Section 13.1 is amended to read as follows: | |||
13.1. | Term. | |||
This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of Borrower, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until September 30, 2011 (the Term) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon forty-five (45) days prior written notice (the Required Notice Day) upon payment in full of the Obligations. In the event Borrower notifies Agent of its intent to terminate this Agreement on a day after the Required Notice Day (the Actual Notice Day) then Borrower shall be charged a fee equal to the then prevailing Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans times the average outstanding Advances for each day that the Actual Notice Day is less than the Required Notice Day (by way of example if Borrower provides only thirty (30) days prior written notice then Borrower will be charged a fee equal to the then Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans for the average outstanding Advances for fifteen (15) days). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent will not require any prior written notice if Borrower is terminating this Agreement as a result of Agent decreasing the Advance Rates as set forth in Section 2.1(b).

6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Agents legal counsel.
