AMENDMENT TO OPERATING AGREEMENT
Section 1.01.Amendment to Section 10.6 of the Operating Agreement. Section 10.6 of the Operating Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:
Target Total Leverage Ratio. In determining whether to incur any incremental third party debt, the Debt Committee, if any, or the full Board shall target achieving and maintaining a Total Leverage Ratio of no less than 1.0:1.0 (or, from and after the consummation of the Debt-Financed Distribution (as defined below), 1.5:1.0) and, in the event that the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 1.5:1.0 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, shall seek in good faith third party debt financing for the Company to increase the Total Leverage Ratio such that it is at least 1.0:1.0 (or, from and after the consummation of the Debt-Financed Distribution, 1:5:1.0) to the extent that such third party debt is available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms. In no event shall the Debt Committee, if any, or the full Board cause the Company to incur incremental third party debt that would result in the Total Leverage Ratio exceeding 1.5:1.0 (or, from and after the consummation of the Debt-Financed Distribution, 2.0:1.0).
