(h) Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without
2

limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders through Electronic System as provided in Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be repaid or converted into an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(i) Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: “[Intentionally Omitted];”
(j) Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (i) replace the phrase
3

(k) Clause (i) of Section 5.01(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(i) as soon as available but in any event within twenty (20) days after the end of each fiscal quarter following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (or, (x) during any Monthly Reporting Period, within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date or (y) during any Weekly Reporting Period, by the Wednesday immediately following the end of each calendar week) and
(l) The lead-in to Section 5.01(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
as soon as available but in any event within twenty (20) days of the end of each fiscal quarter (or, during any Monthly Reporting Period or Weekly Reporting Period, within twenty (20) days of the end of each calendar month), as of the period then ended, all delivered electronically in a text formatted file acceptable to the Administrative Agent:
(m) Clause (iii) to Section 5.01(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following phrase at the beginning thereof: “if a Monthly Reporting Period or Weekly Reporting Period is then in effect,”

as soon as available but in any event within twenty (20) days of the end of each fiscal quarter (or, during any Monthly Reporting Period or Weekly Reporting Period, within twenty (20) days of the end of each calendar month) and at such other times as may be requested by the Administrative Agent, as of the period then ended, a schedule and aging of the Borrowers’ accounts payable, delivered electronically in a text formatted file acceptable to the Administrative Agent;
(o) Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the penultimate paragraph thereof.
(p) Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the last sentence thereof with the following sentence: “Only one (1) such Inventory appraisal every other calendar year shall be at the sole expense of the Loan Parties; provided that (i) an Inventory appraisal may be conducted during any calendar year at the sole expense of the Loan Parties if the Aggregate Availability is less than the greater of $50,000,000 and 30% of the Aggregate Commitment at any time during such calendar year, (ii) two (2) such Inventory appraisals per calendar year shall be at the sole expense of the Loan Parties if the Aggregate Availability is less than the greater of $12,500,000 and 10% of the Aggregate Commitment at any time during such calendar year and (iii) during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, there shall be no limitation on the number or frequency of appraisals that shall be at the sole expense of the Loan Parties.”
