     For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:

 


 

     “Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter of the Borrower, average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was greater than 45% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
     “Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter of the Borrower, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 45% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter but greater than 30% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
     “Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 30% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter but greater than 15% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
     “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, or Level III Status and (ii) average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 15% of the average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
     “Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status.
The Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing tables based on the Borrower’s Status for the applicable fiscal quarter. Such Status shall be determined based upon the Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports delivered for such fiscal quarter. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin shall be effective five Business Days after the Agent has received all of the applicable Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports. If the Borrower fails to deliver such Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports to the Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin set forth in the foregoing tables until the date on which such Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports are so delivered. In the event that any financial statement or certificate required by Section 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the financing commitments are in effect), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period: (x) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Agent a correct certificate for such Applicable Period, (y) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined by reference to such certificate, and (z) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. This provision shall not limit any other rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Level I Status shall be deemed to be applicable from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date until the Agent’s receipt of the applicable Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports delivered for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010, and adjustments to the Status then in effect shall thereafter be effected in accordance with the preceding paragraph.
