NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Consent to Fore Acquisition. The Agent and Lenders hereby consent (the “Consent”) to the Fore Acquisition and agree that such acquisition shall be deemed to be a Permitted Acquisition; provided that the Fore Acquisition shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the limitations contained in clause (b) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisition”.  The Consent shall become effective on the Amendment No. 5 Closing Date (as defined below).

At all other times:

During the Increased Availability Period: .50%

 

At all other times:

At all other times:

If Borrowers shall fail to deliver the financial statements, certificates and/or other information required under Section 9.8 by the dates required pursuant to such sections, each Applicable Margin shall be conclusively presumed to equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial statements, certificates and/or other information, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon Average Excess Availability reflected in such statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no downward adjustment in any Applicable Margin shall be made on any Adjustment Date on which any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Applicable Margin shall increase to and equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above and shall 

2



 

continue at such highest Applicable Margin until the date (if any) on which such Event of Default shall be waived or cured in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the Average Excess Availability reflected on the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate delivered by Borrowers to Agent pursuant to Section 9.8. Any increase in interest rates and/or other fees payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in addition to and independent of any increase in such interest rates and/or other fees resulting from the occurrence of any Event of Default (including, if applicable, any Event of Default arising from a breach of Sections 9.8 hereof) and/or the effectiveness of the Default Rate provisions of Section 3.1 hereof or the default fee rate provisions of Section 3.2 hereof.

If, for any reason, Agent determines that (a) the Average Excess Availability as previously calculated as of any applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of the Average Excess Availability for any such period would have resulted in different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the Average Excess Availability would have resulted in a higher interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for such period, automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or notice by Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances and/or the amount of the fees accruing for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased by, and Borrowers shall be obligated to immediately pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the Average Excess Availability would have resulted in a lower interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for such period, then the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances and the amount of the fees accruing for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to remain unchanged, and Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to repay interest or fees to the Borrowers; provided, that, if as a result of any restatement or other event or other determination by Agent a proper calculation of the Average Excess Availability would have resulted in a higher interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for one or more periods and a lower interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for one or more other periods, then the amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amounts of interest and fees actually paid for such periods. “Application Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.8(b) hereof.”

 

“Maximum Revolving Advance Amount” shall mean $125,000,000 plus any increases in accordance with Section 2.24.
