IV	280.0 325 bps	57.5 62.5 bps
V	305.0 bps	57.5 bps

The Applicable Margin on the Closing Date shall be Pricing Level III. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin for Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted, based on changes in the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio, with such adjustments to become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three Business Days after the date on which the relevant financial statements are delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.1 (commencing with delivery of the annual audited financial statements for the period ending

December 31, 2016) and to remain in effect until the next adjustment to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified in Section 7.1, then, until the date that is three Business Days after the date on which such financial statements are delivered, the highest margin set forth in each column of the Pricing Grid shall apply. On each Adjustment Date, the Applicable Margin for Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins and Commitment Fee Rate opposite the Pricing Level determined by the Borrower to exist on such Adjustment Date from the applicable financial statements relating to such Adjustment Date and the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination on or prior to the applicable Adjustment Date.

As used herein, the following rules shall govern the determination of Pricing Levels on each Adjustment Date:

“Pricing Level I” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00 2.00 to 1.00.

“Pricing Level II” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 1.75 to 1.00.

SECTION 3. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 1.3 (LIBOR Replacement) to the end of Section 1 (Definitions) as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that, in its determination:

(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR rate for any requested Interest Period, or

(b) the administrator of the LIBOR rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans,

then, reasonably promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to an amendment to this Agreement to replace the LIBOR rate with an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any

evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks, together with any reasonably necessary conforming changes.

This Agreement shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the effective date of this Agreement, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.

SECTION 5. Reaffirmation. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor identified on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Reaffirming Loan Parties”) hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby consents to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby confirms its respective guarantees under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Lenders and Administrative Agent. Each of the Reaffirming Loan Parties further agrees to take any action that may be required or that is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effect the purposes of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Loan Documents and hereby reaffirms its obligations under each provision of each Loan Document to which it is party.

SECTION 6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
