It is understood and agreed that the Prepayment Premium applicable at the time of a prepayment, acceleration, satisfaction or release shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof.

Borrowers expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no obligation to calculate, or to verify Borrowers’ or any Lender’s calculation of, any Prepayment Premium due under this Agreement.
