Section 1.1(A) of the Credit Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the following revised Section 1.1(A) of the Credit Agreement shall be substituted in its place, effective as of the Amendment Date: 3 (A) Revolving Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower during the period from the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Expiry Date its Pro Rata Share of any Loans requested by Borrower to be made by Lenders under this Section 1.1(A) during such period, up to an aggregate maximum amount for each Lender of its "Revolving Loan Commitment", which, as to Wachovia, being the only Lender on the Amendment Date, shall mean Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (as the same may be reduced or added to pursuant hereto or to a Lender Addition Agreement, herein called, individually, as to each Lender, its "Revolving Loan Commitment," and, collectively, as to all Lenders, their "Revolving Loan Commitments") and, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.1(B), to permit Borrower to obtain Letters of Credit from time to time; provided, however, that the maximum amount of Loans which may be outstanding hereunder at any one time, when aggregated with all then outstanding L/C Exposure, shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments or (ii) the Maximum Lending Multiple, as defined below, except during the Moratorium Period, in which period, in lieu of the Maximum Lending Multiple, the Borrowing Limitation shall be substituted therefor and shall control (the lesser amount so determined hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Maximum Revolving Loan Balance"). Loans outstanding from time to time made pursuant to the Revolving Loan Commitments are sometimes called herein "Revolving Loans". Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, but, subject to earlier payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.1(A) and Section 6.3, and shall be repaid in full on the Expiry Date, on which date the Revolving Loan Commitments shall cease to be effective and no Revolving Loans may be obtained. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used to supplement Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' working capital, to finance their making of Capital Expenditures and for other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless otherwise may be approved in writing by Agent and all Lenders, in their sole discretion, from time to time, no proceeds of any Revolving Loan shall be used to finance, in whole or in part, an Approved Acquisition. Written or telephonic notice must be provided to Agent by Borrower by 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta time), on the Business Day that such Revolving Loan is requested to be made, in the case of any Revolving Loan requested to be made as a Base Rate Loan, and by 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta time) on the third Business Day prior to the Business Day, in the case of any Revolving Loan requested to be made as a LIBOR Loan. All Revolving Loans requested telephonically by Borrower must be confirmed in writing by Borrower to Agent within one (1) Business Day. Each such written notice (or written confirmation of telephonic notice) shall be made in substantially the form of the "Notice of Borrowing" annexed hereto as EXHIBIT A. As used in this Section, the "Maximum Lending Multiple" shall mean the product of (i) EBITDA, determined for the Test Period ending as of the last day of Borrower's most recently completed fiscal month for which financial statements have been delivered to Agent in accordance with Section 4.1(A); multiplied by (ii) two and five-tenths (2.5), which shall be determined by Agent on the Closing Date and monthly thereafter, effective as of the first day of each calendar month, except during the Moratorium Period, during which period the Maximum Lending Multiple shall have no applicability hereto, and shall not be computed. 4 Borrower acknowledges that Lenders do not presently intend to make, or permit to remain outstanding, Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount in excess of the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance (such Revolving Loans in excess of the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance being referred to as "Excess Revolving Loans"); and if any such Excess Revolving Loans continue to exist for three (3) Business Days or more after demand for repayment, the same shall constitute an Event of Default. In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to execute in favor of Wachovia as sole Lender on the Amendment Date a new Revolving Loan Note in the principal amount of $25,000,000, to evidence Wachovia's increased Revolving Loan Commitment in such amount (herein, the "New Note"). 3.
