(d) Section 1.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence immediately following the last sentence thereof:
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is less than $0, there shall be no availability under any Total Net Leverage Ratio test when determining if any Obligor may take any action permitted hereunder (including any incurrence of Indebtedness).”
(e) Schedule 2.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Schedule 2.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety with Schedule 2.01 attached hereto as Annex A.
