Amendment, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
C. Capitalized
terms used in this Ninth Amendment and not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to those terms in the Credit Agreement.
1. AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT
AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
(a) Extension of Maturity
Date. The definition of “Revolving Credit Maturity Date” contained in
Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows:
“Revolving Credit Maturity
Date” shall mean May 31, 2012.
(b) Deletion of L1BOR Rate
Floor. The definition of “L1BOR Rate” contained in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as
follows:
“L1BOR Rate” shall
mean for each Interest Period for any L1BOR Rate Loan, the average rate as
established by the British Bankers Association (“BBA”) on the first
day of such Interest Period, based on the average of the rates charged by eight
(excluding the four highest and the four lowest rates) of the sixteen largest
British Banks in London. If the BBA no longer reports such rate or Lender
determines in good faith that the rate so reported no longer accurately reflects
the rate available to Lender in the London Interbank Market, Lender may select
in its reasonable discretion a replacement index for determining L1BOR, and
shall promptly notify Borrower of such selection. If there are changes in the
X0XXX Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, X0XXX shall be adjusted by dividing L1BOR by the
result of (x) 1.00 minus (y) the L1BOR Reserve Requirement.
(c)
Modification of Interest
Rate Margin. Section 2.6(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“(a)
(i) With
respect to any L1BOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
L1BOR Rate effective as of the date such LIBOR Rate Loan was made and the L1BOR
Rate Margin specified in subpart (a)(iii) below.
(ii) With
respect to any Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base
Rate and the Base Rate Margin specified in subpart (a)(iii) below, which rate
shall change when and as the Base Rate changes in accordance with this
Agreement.
(iii) The
LIBOR Rate Margin or Base Rate Margin, as applicable, shall be equal to the
margin set forth in the table below with respect to Revolving Loans or Term
Loan, as applicable:

“(b) A
commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) of
0.40% per annum prior to June 1, 2010, and 0.25% per annum on June 1, 2010
and thereafter, on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Loan
Commitment during the preceding quarter shall be payable, in arrears, on the
last day of each quarter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The
Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due and payable on June
30, 2010 shall be prorated based on the number of days from the beginning
of the quarter through and including May 31, 2010 at the 0.40% rate and
from June 1, 2010 through the end of quarter at the 0.25% rate. The

all of the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement and the

waiver of any rights or remedies to which Lender is entitled pursuant to the
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor shall the same constitute a
waiver of any default now existing or which may occur in the future with respect
to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby agrees that
Lender has fully performed its obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents through the date hereof and hereby waives, releases and
