         be included in the foregoing computation in connection with the sale and leaseback transaction
         contemplated therefor if the aggregate amount financed under the terms of such transaction does
         not exceed $45,000,000 and if fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds received in connection
         with the sale of such assets are treated by the Borrower as Net Proceeds from an asset

         book value of such assets shall be required to be included in the computation required by the
         first sentence of this Section 6.06.  If the Borrower finances the Conway Facility in a
         transaction permitted by Section 6.01(a)(xii)(B) which does not include a sale and leaseback,
         then fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the book value of the Conway Facility shall
         be included in the calculations under this Section 6.06 as if the Conway Facility had been sold
         in a sale and leaseback transaction unless fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds received in
         connection with such financing are treated by the Borrower as Net Proceeds from an asset
         disposition and applied as required by Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement."
