Additionally, the Third Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to permit the Company to make certain Restricted Payments, provided there is no Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, if the Company’s Leverage Ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments and any related Indebtedness, would not have exceeded 3.0 to 1.0 as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
