not agreed to by each Lender directly affected thereby to the financial
definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of
this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or
modification would otherwise actually result in such a reduction, so
long as the primary purpose (as determined in good faith by the

modification was not to decrease the pricing pursuant to this
