The agreement of the Administrative Agent to establish covenant levels for the 2018 fiscal year shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall otherwise be determined on the basis and using the methodology employed when establishing the minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA covenant thresholds for the 2017 fiscal year.”
