NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements of the parties hereto and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.         Section 3 of Article III of such Senior Lending Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 


“3.       Note Pricing. All Revolving Grid Notes shall bear interest per annum at the prime rate of interest as reported from time to time under Money Rates in The Wall Street Journal, adjusted daily; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum interest rate per annum shall at all times be not less than Five Percent (5.00%), and, provided, further, that the Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to increase such rate of interest in response to changing market conditions so long as the rate of interest on all existing Senior Debt which is payable to any Bank and which is evidenced by a Revolving Grid Note also is increased to such new rate.

All Amortizing Notes shall bear interest per annum at a rate, calculated by reference to data obtained from Bloomberg (or in the event Bloomberg is unavailable for any reason, an equivalent data service recommended by the Borrowers which is acceptable to the Required Banks), equal to the ninety (90) day moving average rate of Treasury Notes with maturities specified at the time of the extension of credit plus 270 basis points; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum interest rate per annum shall at all times be not less than Six and One Quarter Percent (6.25%), and, provided, further, that the Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to increase the number of basis points in response to changing market conditions so long as no increase in the number of basis points is agreed upon within thirty (30) days following an extension of credit pursuant hereto by any Bank which is evidenced by an Amortizing Note bearing an interest rate calculated using a lower number of basis points.

All Single Pay Term Notes shall bear interest per annum at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Banks extending credit to be evidenced by a Single Pay Term Note.”

2.         The numerical designation of Sections 5 and 6 of Article III are hereby changed to Sections 6 and 7, respectively.

 

3.

A new Section 5 of Article III is hereby added to such Senior Lending Agreement:

“5.       Uncommitted Availability Fee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay to each Bank that has extended credit to Borrowers on each Amortizing Note presented by Borrower to Bank during the prior calendar quarter, a fee (the “Uncommitted Availability Fee”) payable on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) calendar days after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to ten basis points (.10%) multiplied by the average, aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Amortizing Notes held by such Bank outstanding at any time during the immediately preceding calendar quarter; provided, however, that if a Bank notifies the Borrowers that it will no longer extend new credit to the Borrowers under any of the before-described Amortizing Notes, then an Uncommitted Availability Fee will no longer be payable to such Bank for any period unless and until during a complete calendar quarter such Bank has again extended new credit on all the Amortizing Notes presented by Borrowers to such Bank at which time such Uncommitted Availability Fee will again be payable, pursuant to the terms hereof, for and after the calendar quarter during which such new credit was extended.”

4.         Exhibit H to the Senior Lending Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

 

2

 

 


5.         All terms and conditions of such Senior Lending Agreement not expressly modified hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if this Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement had not been executed and delivered.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Banks who are parties hereto have executed this Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
