5	≤BBB- / Baa3	0.20%	1.175%	0.175%

For purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate,” “Debt Rating” means, as of any date of determination, the rating as determined by either S&P or Moody’s (collectively, the “Debt Ratings”) of the Company’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt; provided that (a) if the respective Debt Ratings issued by the foregoing rating agencies differ by one level, then the Pricing Level for the higher of such Debt Ratings shall apply (with the Debt Rating for Pricing Level 1 being the highest and the Debt Rating for Pricing Level 5 being the lowest); (b) if there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one level, then the Pricing Level that is one level lower than the Pricing Level of the higher Debt Rating shall apply; (c) if the Company has only one Debt Rating, the Pricing Level for such Debt Rating shall apply; and (d) if the Company does not have any Debt Rating, Pricing Level 5 shall apply.

On the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon Pricing Level 3 of subsection (i)(a) above. Thereafter, each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a publicly announced change in the Debt Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon the applicable Pricing Level of subsection (i)(b) above, as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and in each case shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.”

(c) The definition of “Bail-In Action” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, “Bail-In Action” shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

““Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.”

(d) The definition of “Bail-In Legislation” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, “Bail-In Legislation” shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

““Bail-In Legislation” means, (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law, rule, regulation or requirement for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule, and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings).”

(e) The definition of “Base Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, “Base Rate” shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows

““Base Rate”means for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%. The “prime rate” is a rate set by Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. Any change in such prime rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Base Rate as so determined would be less than (i) after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date through and including December 31, 2021, 1.25%, such rate shall be deemed 1.25% for purposes of this Agreement; and (ii) on January 1, 2022 and continuing thereafter, zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.”

(f) Clause (c) of the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, such clause (c) shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“(i) if, after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date through and including December 31, 2021, the Eurocurrency Rate shall be less than 0.25%, such rate shall be deemed 0.25% for purposes of this Agreement; and (ii) if, on January 1, 2022 and continuing thereafter, the Eurocurrency Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.”

(g) The definition of “Write-Down and Conversion Powers” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, “Write-Down and Conversion Powers” shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

““Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, (a) with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule, and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, any powers of the applicable Resolution Authority under the Bail-In Legislation to cancel, reduce, modify or change the form of a liability of any UK Financial Institution or any contract or instrument under which that liability arises, to convert all or part of that liability into shares, securities or obligations of that person or any other person, to provide that any such contract or instrument is to have effect as if a right had been exercised under it or to suspend any obligation in respect of that liability or any of the powers under that Bail-In Legislation that are related to or ancillary to any of those powers.”

(h) The second to last paragraph of Section 3.03(c) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, such paragraph shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than (i) at all times through and including December 31, 2021, 0.25% for purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) on January 1, 2022 and continuing thereafter, zero for purposes of this Agreement.”

(i) Section 5.15 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, such Section 5.15 shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“5.15 Affected Financial Institutions. No Loan Party is an Affected Financial Institution.”

(j) Section 7.01(s) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, Section 7.01(s) shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“(s) other Liens securing Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount, that together, without duplication, with all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is secured by Liens not otherwise permitted under subsections (a) through (r) above (if originally issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time), does not at any time exceed (i) on any date of determination from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date through December 31, 2021, an amount equal to 11.25% of the Consolidated Net Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the then most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Company prior to such date and (ii) when added to Indebtedness of any Subsidiary permitted by Section 7.07(m) (and not otherwise permitted under Section 7.07(a) through (l)) on any date of determination (other than Indebtedness incurred by any Designated Borrower under this Agreement), the Permitted Priority Amount on any such date; and”

(k) Section 7.04(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that, after giving effect to this Amendment, Section 7.04(a) shall be replaced and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“(a) Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. Permit the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018 to be greater than the ratio for such period as set forth below:
