; provided, however, that from and after delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Required Financial Statements and the certificate required pursuant to Section 5.04(3) indicating an entitlement in accordance with the next sentence to a different margin (each, a “Start Date”) to and including the applicable End Date described below, each Applicable Margin (hereinafter the “Adjustable Applicable Margin”) set forth in the immediately preceding grid for Level I and Level II shall be reduced by 0.25%.  The Adjustable Applicable Margin shall apply upon the achievement and maintenance by the Borrower  for two consecutive fiscal quarters for which Required Financial Statements have been delivered of a Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 4.40:1.00.

 

The Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio used in a determination of Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Required Financial Statements and the relevant certificate required pursuant to Section 5.04(3), which shall set forth the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date and shall remain in effect until such date as (x) the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(3) fails to demonstrate compliance with the Senior First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 4.40:1.00 as at the last day of the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended immediately prior to the delivery of such certificate or (y) at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the request of the Required Lenders, no certificate  pursuant to Section 5.04(3)(b) has been delivered to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to this Agreement (such date, the “End Date”).

a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate), in any such case prior to the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01(8) or (9) and (ii) the fifth Business Day after written demand thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower.

Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) has been extended to a date no earlier than October 25, 2021.
