The

Ticking Fees shall be due and payable in cash (I) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof and (II) on the earlier of (i) the Specified Acquisition Closing Date and (ii) the date that the Incremental Revolving Commitments terminate without the Specified Acquisition Closing Date having occurred pursuant to Section 6(i) hereof.
