      expense, and excluding any non-cash charges associated with the

      for the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto. Readjusted EBIT and
      the calculation of interest expense shall be prepared on a pro forma basis

      of such Offering Memorandum has been previously provided to each of the
      Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the calculation
      of Readjusted EBIT shall only include cost reductions that have been
      actually implemented and are verifiable. The calculation of Readjusted
      EBIT will not include any pro forma adjustment for the results of
      operations of Crable prior to the closing of the Crable Asset Acquisition.
      The calculation of pro forma interest expense will not include any
      adjustment related to the period prior to such for debt incurred in
      connection

      with the Crable Asset Acquisition. Such reduction in the Applicable Annual
      Rate shall be effective only for Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans
      requested after the date on which Agent has received and reviewed such pro
      forma financial statements demonstrating compliance with the
      above-described rate adjustment test. The rate reduction made pursuant to
      this SUBSECTION 3.1(A-1) shall remain in effect only for so long as no
      Event of Default has occurred."
