C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which the Borrower has failed to deliver a compliance certificate to the Agent when due, upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed, solely for the purpose of this Schedule 1.1(A), to be, (1) commencing with the fiscal period ending June 30, 2012 and for each fiscal period through the fiscal period ending December 31, 2012, Level VII of the applicable Pricing Grid, until such time as the Borrower shall deliver the required compliance certificate and (2) commencing with the fiscal period ending March 31, 2013 and for each fiscal period thereafter, Level V of the applicable Pricing Grid, until such time as the Borrower shall deliver the required compliance certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above interest rates shall be increased by (i) 25 basis points per annum if and for so long as the Borrower’s Corporate Family Rating under either Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is less than Ba3 or BB- respectively and (ii) without duplication of the amount set forth in subclause (i) above, 50 basis

points per annum if and for so long as the Borrower’s Corporate Family Rating under Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is less than Ba3 or BB- respectively.

Any change in the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be based upon the financial statements and compliance certificates provided pursuant to Sections 7.3.1 [Quarterly Financial Statements] and 7.3.2 [Annual Financial Statements] and shall become effective on the date such financial statements are due in accordance with Section 7.3.3 [Certificate of the Borrower].

If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Loan Parties or for any other reason, the Loan Parties or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] or 3.3 [Interest After Default] or 8 [Default]. The Loan Parties’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
