If on any day a Term Loan or Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. |
(i) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Revolving Loans, the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

(b) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus a Eurodollar Rate Margin of 1.75% per annum;
provided that during any period beginning on any date Administrative Agent receives an Officers Certificate from Company stating that Company has obtained senior secured ratings for the Credit Facilities not lower than (1) BB+ from S&P and Ba2 from Moodys or (2) BB from S&P and Ba1 from Moodys and in each case continuing until Company fails to maintain such ratings, the Base Rate Margin and Eurodollar Rate Margin in each case shall be 0.25% per annum less than the Base Rate Margin and Eurodollar Rate Margin otherwise applicable pursuant to this subsection 2.2A(i). |
(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Swing Line Loans shall bear interest through maturity at the sum of the Base Rate plus the
applicable Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans minus the Commitment Fee Percentage.
1.3 | Amendments to Section 7: Companys Negative Covenants |
A. Subsection 7.3(ix) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:
(ix) Company and its Subsidiaries may acquire assets (including Capital Stock and including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries formed in connection with any such acquisition) of any Person in the same or similar line of business (or any related, ancillary or complementary business, including without limitation business services) as Company (a) through the issuance of Capital Stock of Company, (b) with Cash, (c) with the proceeds of not more than $200,000,000 of Subordinated Indebtedness of Company or (d) with any combination of (a) through (c); provided that (1)(A) after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $75,000,000 is available in Revolving Loan Commitments, (B) any such Subordinated Indebtedness is unsecured and has no mandatory payment of principal for at least one year after the maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans, (C) the documentation for any such indebtedness contains subordination provisions that are standard in the market for publicly traded or privately held subordinated debt securities at the time of issuance thereof or such other subordination provisions as may be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and contains such other terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (D) after giving effect to such acquisition, no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, and (E) the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio (after giving effect to such acquisition) is less than the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio permitted as at the end of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter or Stub Period, as the case may be, minus 0.25 or (2) Requisite Lenders consent thereto (each a Permitted Acquisition);
