(a) Borrowing Base Certificate; Approval. The Borrowing Base shall be calculated at the times and in the manner set forth in this Section 3.5(a):
(i) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, and at such other times as the Aggregate Majority Lenders may reasonably require (provided that such calculation is to be made as of the last day of a calendar month), Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with a Borrowing Base Certificate (and Administrative Agent will promptly forward to each Lender) showing Borrower’s calculations of the components of the Borrowing Base and such data supporting such calculations as the Aggregate Majority Lenders may require.

Failure of the Aggregate
4
Majority Lenders to so notify Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent to so notify Borrower within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed approval and such Borrowing Base as set forth in such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be effective as of the date approved (or deemed approved) by the Aggregate Majority Lenders. The amount so approved (or deemed approved) shall constitute the Borrowing Base until such time as the Borrowing Base is redetermined in accordance with this Section 3.5(a).

(iii) Each determination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 3.5(a) shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, and provided that the Aggregate Majority Lenders are not bound to rely on information and figures provided by Borrower if the Aggregate Majority Lenders determine in good faith that it would be inappropriate to do so. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict Borrower from submitting additional Borrowing Base Certificates to Administrative Agent for the Aggregate Majority Lenders’ approval at times other than those required hereunder.
(g) Section 3.10(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

After the admission of any Subsequent Lender or increase in the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to Borrower a new Schedule 1.1(a) to this Agreement (and each Lender acknowledges that its percentage obligation under such Schedule will change in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the increased Total Aggregate Commitment). In the event that there are any Loans outstanding after giving effect to an increase in the Total Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.10, upon notice from Administrative Agent to each Lender, the amount of such Loans owing to each Lender shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of each Lender, and Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.7.

of any other Loan Document) and Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
(w) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new Section 11.23:
11.23 California Judicial Reference. If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq. to a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Sections 11.2 and 11.12, Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such action or proceeding
2. Amendment of Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents.

13

5. Conditions. This Amendment shall not be effective unless and until:
(a) Administrative Agent shall have received this Amendment duly executed by Borrower, each Guarantor, and each Lender;
(b) the representations and warranties in this Amendment are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this Amendment, except to the extent that (i) any of them speak to a different specific date, or (ii) the facts on which any of them were based have been changed by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Credit Agreement;
(c) Administrative Agent shall have received a fully executed counterpart of the Term A Credit Agreement; and
(d) both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists.
