Borrowers further acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of
each Agent Lender to reduce its respective Facility A Commitment and
Facility B Commitment from such higher amounts through one or more
assignments involving each Agent Lender as Assignor Lenders in
accordance with Paragraph 8.05 (with each Agent Lender assigning
their respective Commitments on a pro rata basis) such that the

Lender to hold Loans in each outstanding Borrowing in a principal
amount equal to such Lender's revised Proportionate Share of such
outstanding Borrowings.
(ii) Voluntary Reductions of the Commitments. Upon four (4)
Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may

integral multiples in excess thereof, and (y) at all times
thereafter, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or integral multiples
in excess thereof, or cancel the Total Facility A Commitment and/or
the Total Facility B Commitment in its entirety; provided, however,

Commitment prior to the Facility A Maturity Date, if, after
giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate principal amount
of all Facility A Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed
the Total Facility A Commitment;

Commitment prior to the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Facility B
Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.
Unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility A
Commitments shall terminate on the Facility A Maturity Date and the
Facility B Commitments shall terminate on the Facility B Revolving
Loan Maturity Date.
