adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base in accordance the previous
sentence, if the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the adjusted Borrowing

principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after
prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash
collateralize such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j).  The Borrower shall be
obligated to make such prepayment and/or cash collateralize such excess within
ninety (90) days following the date the adjustment occurs; provided that such
payment required to be made pursuant to this sentence must be made on or prior
to the Termination Date.  The provisions of Section 3.04(c)(iv) and Section
3.04(c)(v) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such prepayment required pursuant
to the previous sentence.

Section 17.Limited Waiver of Section 9.01(c). Section 9.01(c) provides that the
Borrower will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or after
March 31, 2016, permit its ratio of (i) consolidated current assets to
(ii) consolidated current liabilities as of such day to be less than 1.0 to 1.0
(such financial covenant, the “Current Ratio Covenant”).  The Borrower has
informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrower does not
expect to be in compliance with the Current Ratio Covenant as of the last day of
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016.  Accordingly, the Borrower has
requested that the Lenders waive, and the Lenders do

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

hereby waive, the Borrower’s compliance with the Current Ratio Covenant as of
the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016. 

Except as expressly waived herein, all covenants, obligations and agreements of
the Obligors contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  Without
limitation of the foregoing, the foregoing waiver is hereby granted to the
extent and only to the extent specifically stated herein and for no other
purpose and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent or agreement to, or waiver
or modification of, or amendment to, any other term or condition of the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the documents referred to therein,
(b) except as expressly set forth herein, prejudice any right or rights which
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future
under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
of the documents referred to therein, or (c) constitute any course of dealing or
other basis for altering any obligation of any Obligor or any right, privilege
or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, or any other contract or instrument.  Granting the
waiver set forth herein does not and should not be construed to be an assurance
or promise that consents or waivers will be granted in the future, whether for
the matters herein stated or on other unrelated matters.
