For purposes of determining the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable LOC Fee, and the Applicable Non-Use Fee, the Leverage Ratio (and applicable Tier) will be determined as of the end of each calendar quarter occurring during the term of this Agreement (the end of each calendar quarter being a “Determination Date”) beginning with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2015.  On the Bank’s receipt of the financial statements required to be delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 8.8, the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable LOC Fee, and the Applicable Non-Use Fee will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the table set forth above based on the then Leverage Ratio and Tier so long as no Event of Default is existing as of applicable Determination Date or as of the effective date of adjustment.  The foregoing adjustment, if applicable, to the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable LOC Fee, and the Applicable Non-Use Fee will become effective for LIBOR Rate Loans requested, the unpaid principal balance of Base Rate Loans outstanding, non-use fees accruing, and fees due with respect to Letters of Credit issued or renewed, on and after the first day of the first calendar month following delivery to the Bank of the financial statements required to be delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 8.8 until the next succeeding effective date of adjustment pursuant to this Agreement.  Each of the financial statements required to be delivered to the Bank must be delivered to the Bank in compliance with Section 8.8.  If the Borrowers, however, have not timely delivered their financial statements in accordance with Section 8.8, then, without limiting any of the rights and remedies available to the Bank by reason of such noncompliance, at the Bank’s option, commencing on the date upon which such financial statements should have been delivered in accordance with Section 8.8 and continuing until such financial statements are actually delivered in accordance with Sections 8.8, it shall be assumed for purposes of determining the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable LOC Fee, and the Applicable Non-Use Fee that Tier I and the pricing associated with Tier I will be applicable on the then applicable Determination Date.  From the date of the Seventh Amendment to this Agreement to and including the first Determination Date beginning with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2015, the pricing associated with Tier III will be in effect.

 

“Capital Expenditures” shall mean all expenditures (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) which, in accordance with GAAP, would be required to be capitalized and shown on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers, but excluding expenditures made in connection with the replacement, substitution or restoration of assets to the extent financed (i) from insurance proceeds (or other similar recoveries) paid on account of the loss of or damage to the assets being replaced or restored, (ii) with awards of compensation arising from the taking by eminent domain or condemnation of the assets being replaced or (iii) from the proceeds of an Asset Disposition; provided, however, that to the extent that the amounts described in clause (x) of the definition of “EBITDA” are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, the same shall be excluded from the calculation of Capital Expenditures.

 

“Debt” shall mean, as to any Person, without duplication, (a) all indebtedness of such Person; (b) all borrowed money of such Person (including principal, interest, fees and charges), whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments; (c) all obligations to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services; (d) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, with respect to the maximum face amount of all letters of credit (whether or not drawn), bankers’ acceptances and similar obligations issued for the account of such Person (including the Letters of Credit), and all unpaid drawings in respect of such letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and similar obligations; (e) all indebtedness secured by any Lien on any property owned by such Person, whether or not such indebtedness has been assumed by such Person (provided, however, if such Person has not assumed or otherwise become liable in respect of such indebtedness, such indebtedness shall be deemed to be in an amount equal to the fair market value of the property subject to such Lien at the time of determination); (f) the aggregate amount of all Capitalized Lease Obligations of such Person; (g) all Contingent Liabilities of such Person, whether or not reflected on its balance sheet; (h) all Hedging Obligations of such Person; (i) all Debt of any partnership of which such Person is a general partner; (j) all monetary obligations of such Person under (i) a so-called synthetic, off-balance sheet or tax retention lease, or (ii) an agreement for the use or possession of property creating obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet of such Person but which, upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of such Person, would be characterized as the indebtedness of such Person (without regard to accounting treatment); and (k) as to the Borrowers, all Foreign Overdraft Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debt shall not include (i) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred by such Person in accordance with customary practices and in the ordinary course of business of such Person, or (ii) obligations to fund Investments that are permitted under Section 9.3(g).
