conducted as of the September 2020 Amendment Date, the Inventory Advance Amount shall not exceed SIXTY PERCENT (60.00%) of the cost of Eligible Inventory.  

LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to each LIBOR Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum and adjusted as described in the last sentence of this definition of LIBOR) for deposits in United States Dollars (commonly known as “LIBOR”) for a term equal to the LIBOR Interest Period that is published or announced on Bloomberg BTMM as calculated by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Administration Limited (“ICE”) (or any successor thereto) as of 11:00 a.m., London, England, time, on the related LIBOR Determination Date.  If such rate shall cease to be published or announced on Bloomberg BTMM or if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the rate calculated by ICE no longer accurately reflects the rate available to Lender in the London interbank market and, that such circumstance is likely to be temporary, LIBOR shall be determined by Lender to be the offered rate as announced by a recognized commercial service as representing the average LIBOR rate for deposits in United States dollars for a term equal to the LIBOR Interest Period as of 11:00 a.m. on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date.

(a)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement and subject to clause (b) below, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) ICE (or any successor thereto) has ceased to calculate LIBOR, (ii) deposits in United States dollars are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and requested LIBOR Interest Period, (iii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested LIBOR Interest Period, (iv) LIBOR for any requested LIBOR Interest Period does not accurately reflect the rate available to Lender in the London interbank market, (v) any applicable law or regulation or any change therein or the interpretation or application thereof or compliance therewith by Lender prohibits, restricts, or makes impossible the charging of interest based on LIBOR or shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement in eurodollars, or (vi) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan, due to changes in administrative costs, fees, tariffs, taxes, and/or other matters outside of Lender’s reasonable control, then Lender may notify Borrower of such circumstance.  Following such notice, this Agreement shall bear interest (and continue to bear interest) at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and any obligation of Lender to maintain any indebtedness under this Agreement at a rate based on LIBOR shall be suspended unless and until Lender determines that the applicable circumstance described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(vi) no longer pertains.

(b)If, at any time, Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) any circumstance described in clauses (a)(i)-(a)(vi) has arisen and is not likely to be temporary, or (ii) if (x) ICE or the Alternative Reference Rates Committee convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has announced a commercial loan index as an alternative to LIBOR and commercial banks in the United States are using such alternative loan index for new commercial loans, (y) LIBOR is no longer being widely used by commercial banks as a loan index in the United States for new commercial loans similar to the loan to Borrower, or (z) a governmental authority having jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for new commercial loans originated in the United States, then Lender may notify Borrower of such circumstance.  Following such notice, any obligation of Lender to maintain any indebtedness under this Agreement at a rate based on LIBOR; provided, however,

Lender may establish an alternate index rate of interest to LIBOR (and an interest rate margin) after giving due consideration to the then-prevailing market convention for determining an index rate of interest for new commercial loans originated by commercial banks in the United States as determined by Lender (the “Alternative Rate”). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the Alternative Rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. If no Alternative Rate has been established and Lender has notified Borrower that any circumstance under clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) has arisen, then any Indebtedness under this Agreement shall bear interest (and continue to bear interest) at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin unless and until an Alternative Rate is established.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall LIBOR (or any Alternative Rate) ever be less than a floor rate of ONE-HALF OF ONE PERCENT (0.50%).  LIBOR and any Alternative Rate may be adjusted from time to time in Lender’s sole discretion for then-applicable, but actual, reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates, marginal emergency, supplemental, special and other reserve percentages, and other actual regulatory costs.

2.Additions to Section 1.01. The following defined terms are hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Agreement in the correct alphabetical order as follows:
