How do debt prepayment penalties flow through an LBO?

So assume I have a $100 tranche of sub notes that have a call premium of 105 in year 4. Assuming I call them all in year 4, would I recognize the $5 breakage fee as expense, lowering my IRR? If so, is this included in interest expense or is it called something else?
