SCHEDULE 8

APPLICABLE MARGINS

The interest due hereunder with respect to the Advances shall vary from time to time and shall be determined by reference to the Type of Advance and the then-current Leverage Ratio.  Any such change in the Applicable Margin shall be made on the fifth (5th) day subsequent to the date on which the Administrative Agent receives a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(v) with respect to the preceding fiscal quarter of Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent does not object to the information provided in such certificate.  Such changes shall be given prospective effect only, and no recalculation shall be done with respect to interest accrued prior to the date of such change in the Applicable Margin.  If any such compliance certificate shall later be determined to be incorrect and as a result a higher Applicable Margin should have been in effect for any period, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all additional interest and fees which would have accrued if the original compliance certificate had been correct, as shown on an invoice to be prepared by the Administrative Agent and delivered to Borrower, on the next Payment Date following delivery of such invoice.  If Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Administrative Agent any such compliance certificate by the date required under Section 6.1(v), the highest Applicable Margins set forth below shall apply until such compliance certificate has been delivered.  The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Alternate Base Rate to determine the Floating Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate (as adjusted for any Reserve Requirement) to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period shall be determined as follows:

As of the Effective Date of the Third Amendment to this Agreement, based on the Leverage Ratio shown on the most recent compliance certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent by Borrower, the LIBOR Applicable Margin is 2.75% and the ABR Applicable Margin is 1.75%.
