(c) APPLICABLE TERM LOAN C MARGINS; INTEREST COMPUTATION; LIBOR ADDENDUM: (1) APPLICABLE TERM LOAN C MARGINS. Until Bank receives and reviews Borrower's Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 4.5(c) of this Agreement for the period ending December 31, 2000, the Applicable Term Loan C Prime Rate Margin will be 3.50%, and the Applicable Term Loan C LIBOR Rate Margin will not be available. Thereafter, the Applicable Term Loan C Prime Rate Margin (as set forth below) and the Applicable Term Loan C LIBOR Rate Margin (as set forth below) will be determined by the Bank after review of the Total Leverage Ratio, as further defined herein, of the Borrower as follows:
"Total Leverage Ratio" is defined as the ratio of Borrower's Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Annualized EBITDA. "Consolidated Annualized EBITDA" is defined as Borrower's Consolidated EBITDA as calculated on an annualized basis whereby (i) through the quarterly period ending June 30, 2001, Consolidated EBITDA for the subject fiscal quarter shall be multiplied by four, and (ii) beginning with the quarterly period ending September 30, 2001, Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters through and including the subject fiscal quarter shall be summed. 2 "Consolidated EBITDA" is defined as the sum of Borrower's (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense, (iii) accrued consolidated federal and state income taxes payable which are included in the determination of consolidated net income, and (iv) consolidated depreciation and amortization. "Total Indebtedness" is defined as all obligations for borrowed money, including all obligations owed pursuant to this Agreement, Subordinated Debt, guarantees, stand-by letters of credit, capitalized leases, and other loans. Total Indebtedness excludes all preferred stock and preferred stock dividends. The Bank will determine the Applicable Term Loan Prime Rate Margin and the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Rate Margin for each fiscal quarter on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the last day of each quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered to the Bank by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.5(c) of this Agreement. If Bank has not received the Compliance Certificate by the forty-fifth (45th) day as required, the Applicable Term Loan C Prime Rate Margin will be 3.50% and any LIBOR balances may be converted to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan C Prime Rate Margin at Bank's discretion. The Total Leverage Ratio for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter must meet the above referenced thresholds for any decrease in the Applicable Term Loan C LIBOR Rate Margin and the Applicable Term Loan C Prime Rate Margin to occur. (2) LIBOR ADDENDUM. The LIBOR Addendum attached to the Term Loan C Note shall set forth additional terms relating to LIBOR Rate loans. (d) TERM LOAN C NOTE.

If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment, voluntary or mandatory conversion of a Libor Loan into a Prime Loan, or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a Libor Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower's account officer at Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the Breakage Fees, defined as the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank (without regard to whether Bank actually so invests said funds) by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Bank's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive and final, absent manifest error. 4.3 PREPAYMENT COSTS. Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the demand of Bank, such other amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of Bank) to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any prepayment by Borrower (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment, voluntary or mandatory conversion of a Libor Loan into a Prime Loan, or prepayment due to acceleration) of all or part of the principal amount of a Libor Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (including without limitation any failure by Borrower to borrow a Libor Loan on the Loan Date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder). Such costs shall include, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its loans based on the London interbank eurodollar market. Bank's determination as to such costs shall be conclusive and final, absent manifest error. 5. REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 5.1 CONVERSION TO PRIME LOANS. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note or this Addendum, then in addition to all other remedies available to Bank under the Note, at the option of Bank and without demand or notice, all Libor Loans then outstanding shall be automatically converted to Prime Loans on the last day of each respective Interest Period for each Libor Loan. 5.2 INDEMNITY. Borrower agrees to pay and indemnify Bank for, and to hold Bank harmless from, any and all cost, loss or expense (including without limitation any such cost, loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Libor Loans hereunder, or in its reemployment of funds obtained in connection with the making or maintaining of Libor Loans) which Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of any default by Borrower in connection with or related to: (a) payment of the principal amount of or interest on Libor Loans, (b) making a borrowing or conversion of a Libor Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with this Addendum, or (c) making a prepayment of a Libor Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with this Addendum, or any prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) of any Libor Loan prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan. 6. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING LIBOR LOANS. 6.1 LIBOR RATE TAXES. All payments of principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and all other amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to the Note and this Addendum shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of all present and future income, stamp and other taxes or other charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by any national government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or any organization of which it is a member (excluding (i) any taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income or gross receipts of Bank by any such entity, and (ii) any taxes which would have been imposed even if no provisions for Libor Loans had appeared in this Addendum) (collectively, "Libor Taxes"). If any Libor Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Bank, Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so as to yield to Bank a net amount equal to the total amount of the payments provided for in this Addendum or under the Note which Bank would have received if such amounts had not been subject to Libor Taxes. If any Libor Taxes are payable directly by Borrower, they shall be paid by Borrower prior to the date on which penalties attach for failure to timely pay such Libor Taxes. Within forty five (45) days after the date on which payment of any such Libor Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, Borrower will furnish Bank the original receipt for the full payment of such Libor Taxes or, if such is not available, evidence of such payment satisfactory in form and substance to Bank. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless against, and will reimburse to Bank, upon demand, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Bank as a result of any failure by Borrower to pay any Libor Taxes when due. Page 3 of 4 6.2 INABILITY TO DETERMINE FAIR INTEREST RATE. If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the Libor Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, (ii) the Libor Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the Libor Loan, or (iii) by reason of any changes arising after the date of the Note affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank's obligation to make Libor Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to Libor Loans, or until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to Bank's notice no longer exist. While such circumstances continue to exist, (x) any requested Libor Loan shall be treated as a request for a Prime Loan, (y) any Prime Loan that was to have been converted to a Libor Loan shall be continued as a Prime Loan, and (z) any outstanding Libor Loan shall be converted retroactively, on the first day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to a Prime Loan. 6.3 ILLEGALITY OR IMPRACTICABILITY. If (i) due to any Governmental Regulation it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Libor Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, or (ii) due to any contingency occurring after the date of the Note which has a material adverse effect on the London interbank eurodollar market, it has become impracticable for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Libor Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank's obligation to make Libor Loans shall terminate, and in such event, (x) any requested Libor Loan shall be treated as a request for a Prime Loan, (y) any Prime Loan that was to have been converted to a Libor Loan shall be continued as a Prime Loan, and (z) any outstanding Libor Loan shall be converted retroactively, on the first day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to a Prime Loan. 6.4 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS; INCREASED COSTS. Borrower shall pay to Bank within 15 days after demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any increased costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Libor Loans to Borrower (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which: (a) imposes a new tax or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under the Note of this Addendum in respect of any Libor Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or (b) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits or other liabilities with or for the account of Bank (including any Libor Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Base Rate); or (c) imposes any other condition affecting the Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities); or (d) imposes or modifies a Governmental Regulation regarding capital adequacy which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank ("Parent") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material. Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Note which will entitle Bank to Additional Costs pursuant to this Section 6.4 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for Additional Costs under this Section 6.4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 6.4 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Libor Loans or of making or maintaining Libor Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Libor Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive and final, absent manifest error.
