Level	Net Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans and for Base Rate Loans in Offshore Currencies	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars	Applicable Margin for Unused Fee
I	Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00	1.75%	0.25%	0.25%

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any financial statement or any financial compliance schedule or certificate (a “Compliance Certificate”) required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement, or any Loans or Commitments are in effect or outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin with respect to any Loans or the Unused Fee for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then the Borrowers shall immediately (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (b) determine the Applicable Margin with respect to such Loans and the Unused Fee for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (c) pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and the Unused Fee owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly distributed to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin for (1) the Tranche 1 Incremental Term Loans shall be the interest rate margin per annum set forth in the table above (and subject to the increases set forth above in this paragraph), and (2) any other Incremental Term Loan advanced after the Tranche 1 Incremental Term Loans shall be the interest rate margin per annum governing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans as set forth in the related Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, subject to Section 2.14 hereof. This provision shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Section 2.5(c) and Article 7.

“Maturity Date” means June 26, 2020.

“Outstandings” means, on any date of determination:

-3-
