under no obligation to pay such fee to any Tranche B Term Loan Lender
executing this Consent unless and until the consent of the Required Lenders
shall have been obtained).

       SECTION 5. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket
