(f) Amendment to Section 5.1(c)(iii). Subsection (c)(iii) of Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

 

(iii) (A) Adjustments, if any, in the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the tenth (10th) Business Day (each an “Adjustment Date”) after receipt by the Administrative Agent of quarterly financial statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries and the accompanying Officer’s Compliance Certificate setting forth the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the most recent fiscal quarter end; provided that adjustments in the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans also shall be made by the Administrative Agent (A) on the closing date of any Permitted Acquisition following receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence of pro forma covenant compliance with each covenant contained in Article X (as delivered pursuant to Section 11.4(e) hereof) and (B) on the date of issuance of any equity securities by any Borrower. Subject to Section 5.1(d), in the event the Company fails to deliver such financial statements and Officer’s Compliance Certificate, evidence of covenant compliance or notice of issuance of equity securities, as applicable, within the time required by Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 11.4(e) hereof, the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans shall be the highest Applicable Margin

(f) Amendment to Section 8.5. Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of subsection (g), (ii) deleting the period at the end of subsection (h) and inserting “; and” in lieu thereof and (iii) adding a new subsection (i) as follows:
