* The Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate for Letters of Credit to support a Person’s performance obligations (which shall not include any payment obligation) in respect of customer contracts shall equal 50% of the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate set forth above.

 

After the six-month period immediately following the Amendment Effective Date, the applicable Level shall be adjusted, to the extent applicable, 45 days (or, in the case of the last fiscal quarter of any fiscal year, 105 days) after the end of each fiscal quarter based on the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; provided that if the Company fails to deliver the financial statements required by Section 7.01(a) or (b), as applicable, and the related certificate required by Section 7.02(b) by the 45th day (or, if applicable, the 105th day) after any fiscal quarter, Level I shall apply until such financial statements are delivered.

 

If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Lenders determine that (a) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in different pricing for any period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the

benefit of the applicable Lenders, promptly following demand by the Agent (accompanied by supporting materials (which may be in the form of financial statements prepared by the Company or the Independent Auditor)), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, the applicable Lenders shall have no obligation to repay any interest or fees to the Company; provided that if, as a result of any restatement or other event a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the amount payable by the Company pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees paid for all such periods.
