(i)    At any time Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit are outstanding, Borrowers agree to maintain funds in the Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount at least equal to the sum of 105% of the undrawn amount of such Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit.

Exhibit 10.3


but Agent may, without notice to Borrowers, exercise its remedies with respect to the Cash Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender or the Underlying Issuer for such Letter of Credit Disbursement. In furtherance of the forgoing, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent may, with notice to Borrowers (provide such notice shall not be required if at the time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), break any and all non-negotiable certificates of deposit constituting cash held in the Cash Collateral Account, and to the extent such breakage would result in any fees or charges to Borrowers, the same shall be payable by Borrowers and be satisfied with proceeds from the Cash Collateral Account. If Borrowers fail to timely pay Agent for a Letter of Credit Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.11(a) relative to Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit and there are insufficient funds in the Cash Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender or the Underlying Issuer for such Letter of Credit Disbursement, or if Agent is prevented from exercising its remedies with the respect to the Cash Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender or the Underlying Issuer for such Letter of Credit Disbursement, then such Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

In accordance with this Section 2.11, each Lender with a Commitment shall fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made for any Letter of Credit Disbursements with respect to Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit.
(v)    Anything to the contrary in any Loan Document notwithstanding, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent may at its option and with notice to Borrowers (provide such notice shall not be required if at the time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) (i) exercise its rights and remedies with respect to the Cash Collateral Account to satisfy any issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth Sections 2.6(b) and 2.11(f) that are due and payable with respect to Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit, and (ii) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, exercise its rights and remedies with respect to the Cash Collateral Account to satisfy any Obligations, including without limitation breaking any and all non-negotiable certificates of deposit constituting cash held in the Cash Collateral Account, and to the extent such breakage would result in any fees or charges to Borrowers, the same shall be payable by Borrowers and be satisfied with proceeds from the Cash Collateral Account.
(vi)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this clause (h), all other terms and conditions of this Agreement regarding the Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, Letters of Credit, and Letter of Credit Disbursements shall continue to apply to Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit.
(g)    Section 2.15 of the Agreement is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
2.15    Increase in Revolver Commitments.(a)    At any time prior to December 5, 2015, at the option of Borrowers (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its Revolver Commitments (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolver Commitments in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by Borrowers, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their Revolver Commitments in connection with such proposed Increase, then Agent or Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers to become a Lender in connection with a proposed Increase. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In no event may the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount be increased pursuant to this Section 2.15 on more than three occasions in the aggregate for all such Increases. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the Revolver Commitments exceed $10,000,000.
(b)    Each of the following shall be conditions precedent to any Increase of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount:


Exhibit 10.3


(i)    Agent or Borrowers have obtained the commitment of one or more Lenders (or other prospective lenders) reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers to provide the applicable Increase and any such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrowers, and Agent have signed a joinder agreement to this Agreement (an “Increase Joinder”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to which such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrowers, and Agent are party,
(ii)    each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied,
(iii)    Borrowers have delivered to Agent updated pro forma Projections (after giving effect to the applicable Increase) for Parent and its Subsidiaries evidencing compliance on a pro forma basis with Section 7 for the 4 fiscal quarters (on a quarter-by-quarter basis) immediately following the proposed date of the applicable Increase, and
(iv)    Borrowers shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or prospective lenders) agreeing to the increased Revolver Commitments with respect to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments (which interest margins may be made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments, higher than or equal to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement immediately prior to the date of the increased Revolver Commitments (the date of the effectiveness of the increased Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount the “Increase Date”)) and shall have communicated the amount of such interest margins to Agent. Any Increase Joinder may, with the consent of Agent, Borrowers and the Lenders or prospective lenders agreeing to the proposed Increase, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.15 (including any amendment necessary to effectuate the interest margins for the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments). Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if the interest margin that is to be applicable to the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments or is higher than the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the applicable Increase Date (the amount by which the interest margin is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Increase Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess, effective on the applicable Increase Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto.
(c)    Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Revolving Loans made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount pursuant to this Section 2.15.
(d)    Each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment prior to the Increase Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolver Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolver Commitment on the Increase Date (the “Post-Increase Revolver Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolver Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolver Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit on such Increase Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolver Lenders and Post-Increase Revolver Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such increased Revolver Commitments.
(e)    The Revolving Loans, Revolver Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Revolving Loans, Revolver Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Revolver Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount.
(h)    Exhibit B-1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting such Exhibit in its entirety, and (ii) inserting the Exhibit B-1 attached hereto as Exhibit A in lieu thereof.
