Anything to the foregoing notwithstanding, (i) commencing with Fiscal Year 2009, in the event that the amount of Consolidated Capital Expenditures permitted to be made by NRF and its Subsidiaries pursuant to hereto in any period (before giving effect to any increase in such permitted expenditure amount pursuant to this clause (i)) is greater than the amount of such Consolidated Capital Expenditures actually made by NRF and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year, such excess may be carried forward and utilized to make Consolidated Capital Expenditures in the succeeding year in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such excess amount, and (ii) Consolidated Capital Expenditures made pursuant to this Section 6.7(m) during any fiscal year shall be deemed made first, in respect of amounts permitted for such fiscal year as provided above (without giving effect to amounts carried over from any prior fiscal year pursuant to clause (i) above) and second, in respect of the excess amount carried over from any prior fiscal year pursuant to clause (i) above.
(n) Maximum Lease Obligations. NRF shall not create, incur or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, incur or suffer to exist, any obligations as lessee (i) for the payment of rent for any personal property in connection with any sale and leaseback transaction, or (ii) for the payment of rent for any personal property under leases or agreements to lease other than (A) obligations in respect of Capital Leases which would not cause the aggregate amount of all obligations under Capitalized Leases entered into after the Closing Date owing by NRF and its Subsidiaries in any Fiscal Year to exceed 100,000, and (B) Operating Lease Obligations which would not cause the aggregate amount of all Operating Lease Obligations owing by NRF and its Subsidiaries (x) in any Fiscal Year to exceed $900,000 and (y) during the term of this Agreement to exceed $4,500,000; provided, that if any branches are sold, the amounts set forth in this sub-clause (B) shall be reduced by the amount of the Operating Lease Obligation that corresponds to such sold branch.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7, after the date the Borrower has consummated the Capital Raise, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to re-determine (i) the 2008 Senior Leverage Ratio financial covenant levels set forth in Sections 6.7(b) and (g) to reflect a dollar for dollar adjustment to Consolidated Total Debt based on the application of the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower from the Capital Raise and (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant levels set forth in Sections 6.7(a) and (f) solely to reflect the new Consolidated Cash Interest Expense resulting from the impact of the Capital Raise, which financial covenant levels, in each case, shall be calculated in an updated covenant model (with all other assumptions not specifically outlined in this paragraph remaining the same) delivered to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of consummation of the Capital Raise, which covenant model and financial covenant levels shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable business discretion. In the event that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders are unable to agree upon revised financial covenant levels and enter into an amendment to this Agreement providing for such revised financial covenant levels, the existing financial covenant levels set forth in this Section 6.7 shall remain in effect for the applicable periods.

8. Effect of Amendment; Continued Effectiveness of the Credit Agreement.
(a) Ratifications. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Amendment Effective Date (A) all references in the Credit Agreement to this Agreement, hereto, hereof, hereunder or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment, and (B) all references in the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement, thereto, thereof, thereunder or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment, (ii) to the extent that the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document purports to pledge to the Collateral Agent, or to grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, such pledge or grant of a security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and (iii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as an amendment of any right, power or remedy of the Agents or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor constitute an amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. This Amendment shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the specific purposes set forth herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, which terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
(b) No Waivers. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment is not a waiver of, or consent to, any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and the Agents and the Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents in respect of all such Defaults or Events of Default not waived or consented to hereby or by the Second Amendment, under applicable law or otherwise.
(c) Amendment as Credit Document. Each Credit Party confirms and agrees that this Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Credit Party under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or if any Credit Party fails to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained herein.
9. Release. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Credit Parties and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Credit Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agents and the Lenders rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Credit Party (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and
-18-
representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the Releasors) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the Released Parties) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise (collectively, Claims), which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done (collectively, Actions) on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related in any way to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date, or the agreements of any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Credit Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the Collateral on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to release or discharge any Released Party from any Claims arising out of, in connection with or related in any way to Actions occurring after the date of this Amendment.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
