“ ‘Base Rate Margin’ means, as of any date of determination, (a) with respect to any portion of the outstanding Guaranteed Advances on such date that is a Base Rate Loan, 1.00 percentage point, and (b) with respect to any portion of the outstanding Advances on such date that is a Base Rate Loan, the applicable margin set forth in the following table that corresponds to the most recent Average Excess Availability calculation delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement (the “Average Excess Availability Calculation”); provided, however, that for the period from the Closing Date through the date Agent receives the Average Excess Availability Calculation in respect of the testing period ending September 30, 2009, the Base Rate Margin for such outstanding Advances shall be at the margin in the row styled “Level III”:
Level |
Borrower’s Average Excess Availability |
Base Rate Margin | ||

Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Base Rate Margin for Advances shall be based upon the most recent Average Excess Availability Calculation, which will be calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

In the event that the information regarding the Average Excess Availability Calculation contained in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Base Rate Margin for Advances for any period (a “Base Rate Period”) than the Base Rate Margin for Advances actually applied for such Base Rate Period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Agent a correct certificate for such Base Rate Period, (ii) the Base Rate Margin for Advances shall be determined as if the correct Base Rate Margin (as set forth in the table above) were applicable for such Base Rate Period, and (iii) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest as a result of such increased Base Rate Margin for such Base Rate Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Agent to the affected Obligations; provided, that Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this sentence shall not survive payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.”
