(ii) Commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending March 31, 2025, the Borrower will not permit, as of the last day of such fiscal quarter and each subsequent fiscal quarter, the Total Net Leverage Ratio to exceed the Applicable Covenant Level.”
(v)Section 6.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (A) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (i), (B) deleting the period at the end of clause (j) and replacing with “; and”, and (C) adding a new clause (k) as follows:
