The Make-Whole payable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and each Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, as set forth in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “Prepayment Event”, if the Revolver Commitments are reduced or terminated, if all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated prior to April 24, 2028 as a result of or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Make-Whole Amount, determined as of the date of acceleration or the reduction or termination of the Revolver Commitments, as applicable, will also be due and payable as though said Obligations were voluntarily prepaid and the Revolver Commitments were terminated as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations. The Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event the Obligations are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other similar means. Each Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Make-Whole Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated parties, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrowers giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make-Whole Amount and (D) Borrowers shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Make-Whole Amount as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitment and make the Loans. Without affecting any of any Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or in respect hereof, if a Borrower fails to pay the applicable Make-Whole Amount when due, then the amount thereof shall thereafter bear interest until paid in full at the Default Rate.

(c)Section 6.01(g) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
