(c)           In addition to any amounts due and payable under Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement (Term A Interest) or otherwise, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan A Lenders, on each date that interest is due and payable under Section 3.1 (the “Term Loan A Interest Payment Date”) during the period commencing September 1, 2006 and ending on August 31, 2007, an amount (the “Term Loan A Interest Differential”) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of interest due and payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Loan Agreement on such Term Loan A Interest Payment Date (without regard to the imposition of any default rate of interest under Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement and subject to adjustment as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4(c)) and (ii) an amount equal to a rate per annum equal to three month LIBOR plus 3.25% on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A during the Fiscal Quarter last ended prior to such Term Loan A Interest Payment Date.

5




Term Loan A Interest Differential being automatically added to the principal amount of such Term Loan A Lender’s Loan on such Term Loan A Interest Payment Date.  The Borrower hereby agrees that the Term Loan A Interest Differential amount due under this Section 4(c) for the period commencing on September 1, 2006 and ending on the Term Loan A Interest Payment Date relating to the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2006 (the “October 2006 Term Loan A Interest Payment Date”) shall be automatically added to the principal amount of such Term Loan A Lender’s Loan on the Waiver Effective Date if the Waiver Effective Date is after the October 2006 Term Loan A Interest Payment Date or otherwise shall be automatically added to the principal amount of such Term Loan A Lender’s Loan on the October 2006 Term Loan A Interest Payment Date. The Borrower hereby further agrees that the Term Loan A Interest Differential shall be due and payable for the period commencing July 2, 2007 and ending August 31, 2007 and shall be payable as provided above on the October 1, 2007 Interest Payment Date. The parties hereto further agree that in the event that the Borrower is required at any time under Section 3.1(a)(ii) to pay the Agent a Shortfall Interest Amount, the Borrower may pay the Shortfall Interest Amount by paying the Agent in cash the full amount of each Term Loan A Interest Differential that was added to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A on each Term Loan A Interest Payment Date during the prior Fiscal Year as provided in this Section 4(c) and any Shortfall Interest Amount paid by Borrower and actually received by Agent in cash shall reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount of the Term Loan A Interest Differential that was added to the principal balance of the Term Loan A.”
