The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent at closing a written acknowledgement of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to the terms of the preceding sentence.

(s)Amended Definition of Applicable Margin. The definition of “Applicable Margin” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Applicable Margin” means, with respect to the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, and the commitment fees and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.13 hereof, (i) the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum if utilizing the Base Rate, or (ii) the rate of four percent (4.0%) per annum if utilizing the Amended Base Rate.

(t)New Definition of Amended Base Rate. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be further amended by adding the following new defined term in its appropriate alphabetical location:

“Amended Base Rate” means for any day the greater of (i) the rate of interest announced by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its “prime rate” as in effect on such day, with any change in the Amended Base Rate resulting from a change in said prime rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in said prime rate (it being acknowledged that such rate may not be the Administrative Agent’s best or lowest rate) and (ii) the sum of (x) the Federal Funds Rate, plus (y) 1/2 of 1%.

(u)Amended Definition of Base Rate. The definition of “Base Rate” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Base Rate” means for any day (a) a floating rate of interest equal to LIBOR for such day, if such rate is available, and (b) if LIBOR is unavailable, the Amended Base Rate.

(v)Amended Definition of LIBOR. The definition of “LIBOR” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“LIBOR” means for any day the thirty (30) day LIBOR rate, as published in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal on the date of determination rounded up to the nearest one-eighth (1/8) of one percent. Should more than one such rate be published on any given day, the higher of said rates shall apply. Should any date of determination fall on a date other than a Business Day or on a date when The Wall Street Journal is not published, the rate shall be determined with reference to the applicable rate shown in the most recently published edition of The Wall Street Journal. In the event The Wall Street Journal ceases publication or ceases to publish such LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall select a comparable publication to determine such LIBOR and provide notice thereof to the Borrower. The establishment of LIBOR on any given day by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent’s calculation of the applicable interest rate for that day shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. LIBOR may or may not be the lowest rate based upon the market for U.S. dollar deposits in the London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which the Administrative Agent prices Loans on the date on which LIBOR is determined by the Administrative Agent as set forth herein.

(w)Amended Sections 2.4(a) (b) and (c). Applicable Interest Rates. Sections 2.4(a), (b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

Section 2.4. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. From and after the First Amended and Restated Effective Date, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower (i) shall not be permitted to request the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) shall only be permitted to request the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (iii) shall not be able to elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to Section 2.6 hereof, a portion thereof. All Eurodollar Loans outstanding on the First Amended and Restated Effective Date (whether such Loan is a Term Loan, Revolving Loan, or Swing Loan) shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the First Amended and Restated Effective Date.

(b)Subject to Section 2.4(c) hereof, each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each month and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c)Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans owing by it at a rate per annum equal to: (i) for any Revolving Loan or Swing Loan, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and (ii) for any Term Loan, eight percent (8%) plus the Base Rate (or six percent (6%) plus the Amended Base Rate if utilizing the Amended Base Rate) from time to time in effect, provided, that in the event Borrower fails to pay the full amount of interest required pursuant to this clause (ii) in cash on the due date therefore, the difference between any amount of interest due under this clause (ii) and the amount of such interest paid in cash shall be deferred and added to the principal amount of the Term Loans on a monthly basis, and when so added, shall itself bear interest at the applicable rates for Term Loans and shall be due and payable on the final maturity date of the Term Loans set forth in Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement.

(x)PIK Compounding Forbearance Fee. (i) In addition to the cash interest payable pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, beginning May 1, 2012, the Borrower shall pay Lenders a compounding forbearance fee equal to 2.00% per annum of the outstanding amount of the Term Loans (the “PIK Compounding Forbearance Fee”) and the payment of the PIK Compounding Forbearance Fee shall be deferred and added to the principal amount of the Term Loans on a monthly basis. The PIK Compounding Forbearance Fee when so added to the principal amount of the Term Loans shall itself bear interest at the applicable rates for Term Loans and shall be due and payable on the final maturity date of the Term Loans set forth in Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement.

(y)Safeguard APA Matters. Borrower agrees to continue to pursue the final payments of Shareholders Equity, the post closing adjustment, and the Hold Back Amount, as such terms are defined in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 2, 2012 among Safeguard Acquisitions, Inc., Interform Corporation and the Borrower (the “Safeguard APA”).
