The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio used in a determination of Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the delivery of a certificate of the Borrower (each, a “Quarterly Pricing Certificate”) by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), within 50 days of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower, which certificate shall set forth the calculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the Test Period ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date (but determined on a Pro Forma Basis) and the Adjustable Applicable Margins which shall be thereafter applicable (until same are changed or cease to apply in accordance with the following sentences).  The Adjustable Applicable Margins so determined shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant Start Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which the next certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (y) the date which is 51 days (or 106 days in the case of the fourth Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower) following the last day of the Test Period in which the previous Start Date occurred (such earliest date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new Adjustable Applicable Margins (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the first sentence of this definition (such Adjustable

3

Applicable Margins as so determined, the “Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be the Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins (x) at all times during which there shall exist any Event of Default and (y) at all times prior to the date of delivery of the financial statements pursuant to Section 9.01(a) for the first full Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower following the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in any Quarterly Pricing Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an Applicable Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Quarterly Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and (b) as a result of the miscalculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.08(a) or (b), as applicable, at the time the interest for such period was required to be paid pursuant to said Section on the same basis as if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Quarterly Pricing Certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.08(d), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).  Such Applicable Margin shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 and (ii) promptly upon written demand to the Borrower (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such written demand); provided that in the case of preceding clause (ii), nonpayment of such Applicable Margin as a result of any inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate), at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after such written demand to the Borrower.

The Applicable Margins with respect to any Term Loans other than Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans other than Initial Revolving Loans, Incremental Tranche A Revolving Loans and Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loans and Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments attributable to Revolving Loan Commitments other than the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, Incremental Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments and Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Commitments, shall in each case be determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, and shall utilize the rules provided above to the extent specified in the respective Incremental Amendment, Extension or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.”
