WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Noteholders amend certain provisions of Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement to modify certain provisions contained therein; and
WHEREAS, the holders of each Note currently outstanding have agreed to amend the Note Purchase Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Each such notice shall (subject to clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence) specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated respective Make‑Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of each such Make Whole Amount as of the specified or anticipated prepayment date.
