B. As a result of the Coronavirus, COVID-19 events commencing during March 2020, Events of Default (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”) have occurred and are continuing under Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement as the consequence of the Borrower’s breach of each of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement for the Measurement Period ended June 30, 2020. |

The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. |
E. Establishment of Floor for LIBOR Successor Rate. Section 3.03(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows: |
“(e) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero one percent (1.00%) per annum for purposes of this Agreement.”
