Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, $11,909,404.18 of the principal amount of the Original Term Loans remains outstanding and such entire outstanding principal balance shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed to constitute and be referred to as a Term Loan Advance hereunder, without constituting a novation, and shall be deemed an Advance on the Third Amendment Effective Date. No Prepayment Charge (as defined herein) or other charge or fee shall apply with respect to the foregoing Advance for repayment of the Original Term Loans.

Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.
