NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is amended as follows (the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment shall be referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”):
(x) prior to Parent or Borrower obtaining an Investment Grade Rating, Parent shall cease to own and control, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Borrower free and clear of Liens securing Indebtedness for borrowed money, and (y) after Parent or Borrower has obtained an Investment Grade Rating, Parent shall cease to own and control, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Borrower; or
(b) Upon Parent or Borrower obtaining an Investment Grade Rating, the Applicable Margins to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Classes and Types of Borrowings and the Facility Fee Rate to be used in calculating the Facility Fee shall vary from time to time in accordance with Parent’s or Borrower’s then applicable Credit Rating corresponding to the Level in the first column of the table below:

If at any time Parent or Borrower has two (2) applicable Credit Ratings, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum applicable to the highest applicable Credit Rating; provided that if the highest applicable Credit Rating and the lowest applicable Credit Rating are more than one ratings category apart, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum applicable to applicable Credit Rating that is one ratings category below the highest applicable Credit Rating. If at any time Parent or Borrower has three (3) applicable Credit Ratings, and such applicable Credit Ratings are split, then: (A) if the difference between the highest and the lowest such applicable Credit Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the highest of the applicable Credit Rating were used; and (B) if the difference between such applicable Credit Ratings is two (2) ratings categories (e.g. Baa1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the average of the two (2) highest applicable Credit Ratings were used, provided that if such average is not a recognized rating category, then the Applicable Margin and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the second highest applicable Credit Rating of the three were used. If at any time Parent or Borrower has only one applicable Credit Rating, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be
2
the rate per annum applicable to such applicable Credit Rating.
If neither Parent nor Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating, the Applicable Margin and Facility Fee Rate shall be the rate per annum applicable to Level 6 in the table above.
If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the Applicable Margins or in the Facility Fee Rate and if such increase is reversed and the Applicable Margins or Facility Fee Rate is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at Parent’s or the Borrower’s request, the Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to (i) interest accrued at the differential between such Applicable Margins plus (ii) the differential in the Facility Fees accruing from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance.
If a rating agency upgrade results in decrease in the Applicable Margins or in the Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the Applicable Margins or Facility Fee Rate is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Borrowings and the differential on the Facility Fees during such period of upgrade.
Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of each of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:
Section 3. Representations. Each of the Parent and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
