Exhibit 10.11.21

““Base LIBOR Rate” means the rate per annum, determined by Agent in accordance with its customary procedures, and utilizing such electronic or other quotation sources as it considers appropriate, to be the rate at which Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of the requested Interest Period) are offered to major banks in the London interbank market 2 Business Days prior to the commencement of the requested Interest Period, for a term and in an amount comparable to the Interest Period and the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loan requested (whether as an initial LIBOR Rate Loan or as a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan or as a conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan) by Administrative Borrower in accordance with the Agreement, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.”
2.04.2. Definition of Base Rate in Schedule 1.1.  The definition of “Base Rate” in Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Base Rate” set forth therein and inserting the following in lieu thereof with respect to all sums outstanding on and after the Effective Date:

““Base Rate” means the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its “prime rate”, with the understanding that the “prime rate” is one of Wells Fargo's base rates (not necessarily the lowest of such rates) and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such internal publications as Wells Fargo may designate.”
2.04.3. Definition of Base Rate Margin in Schedule 1.1.  The definition of “Base Rate Margin” in Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Base Rate Margin” set forth therein and inserting the following in lieu thereof with respect to all sums outstanding on and after the Effective Date:
““Base Rate Margin” means, as of any date of determination:

In the event that a quarterly Compliance Certificate is not provided to Agent in accordance with Section 5.3, the Base Rate Margin shall be set at the Initial Base Rate Margin as of the first day of the month following the date on which such quarterly Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered until the date on which such quarterly Compliance Certificate is delivered (on which date (but not retroactively), without constituting a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising as a result of Parent's and Borrowers' failure to timely deliver such quarterly Compliance Certificate, the Base Rate Margin shall be set at the relevant Base Rate Margin set forth in the table above based upon the calculation of TTM EBITDA of Parent and its Subsidiaries set forth in such quarterly Compliance Certificate).
