By the 20th day after the end of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2012), the Borrowers shall deliver (i) to the Administrative Agent an Applicable Margin Certificate setting forth a calculation of the Average Availability for the fiscal quarter most recently ended and the corresponding Applicable Margins, and (ii) updates, if any, to Schedule O to the Collateral Questionnaire to reflect all locations of Inventory at the end of the fiscal quarter then ended.
