Following the Amendment, interest payments are calculated, at the Company’s election and depending upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, at a Base Rate plus an applicable margin or at the same rate as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Transitioned RFR Loan or RFR Loan (each as defined in the Amendment), as applicable, plus an applicable margin.
