NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the respective agreements and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

(a) Additional Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings given to them below, and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby amended to include, in addition and not in limitation, the following:

(i) “Amendment No. 2” means Amendment No. 2 to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2014, by and among Agents, Lenders, Borrowers and Guarantors, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated, restructured, refinanced or replaced.

(ii) The definition of “Applicable Margin” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Applicable Margin” means, with respect to Base Rate Revolving Loans and LIBO Rate Revolving Loans, the applicable percentage (on a per annum basis) set forth below based on the Quarterly Average Availability as follows:

 

Tier

  

Quarterly Average

Availability

   Applicable LIBO
Rate Margin
    Applicable Base
Rate Margin
 
1    Greater than 30% of the Maximum Revolver Amount      2.00     1.00
2    Greater than or equal to 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount but less than or equal to 30% of the Maximum Revolver Amount      2.25     1.25
3    Less than 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount      2.50     1.50

provided, that, (i) the Applicable Margin shall be calculated and established once every three (3) months and shall remain in effect until adjusted for the next three (3) month period, (ii) each adjustment of the Applicable Margin shall be effective as of the first day of each such three (3) month period based on the Quarterly Average Availability for the immediately preceding three (3) month period as calculated by Administrative Agent, (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Applicable Margin through June 30, 2014, shall be the amount for Tier 3 set forth above and (iv) in the event that Borrowers fail to provide any Borrowing Base Certificate or other information with respect thereto for any period on the date required hereunder, effective as of the date on which such Borrowing Base Certificate or other information was otherwise required, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the highest rate above until the next Business Day after a Borrowing Base Certificate or other information is provided for the applicable period at which time the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted as otherwise provided herein. In the event that at any time after the end of any three (3) month period, the Quarterly Average Availability for such three (3) month period used for the determination of the Applicable Margin was greater than the actual amount of the Quarterly Average Availability for such period as a result of the inaccuracy of information provided by or on behalf of Borrowers to Administrative Agent for the calculation of Availability, the Applicable Margin for such period shall be adjusted to the applicable percentage based on such actual average Availability and any additional interest for the applicable period as a result of such recalculation shall be promptly paid to Administrative Agent. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to the amount of interest payable after a Default or Event of Default whether based on such recalculated percentage or otherwise.”

(c) Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.
