any asset of such Person, to the extent such Indebtedness has been assumed by, or is a recourse obligation of, such Person; (d) all Guarantees by such Person; (e) all Capital Lease Obligations of such Person; and (f) the amount of all reimbursement obligations of such Person (whether contingent or otherwise) in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, surety or other bonds and similar instruments in support of Indebtedness; provided that Indebtedness, in accordance with Section 1.03, shall exclude any obligation or liability arising from the application or interpretation of ASC Topic 840 or 842 or any related, similar or successor pronouncement, guideline, publication or rule, or which is otherwise excluded in accordance with Section 1.03.

“Capital Lease Obligations” means, subject to Section 1.03, as to any Person, the obligations of such Person to pay rent or other amounts under a lease of (or other agreement conveying the right to use) real and/or personal property, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease or a finance lease on the balance sheet of such Person under GAAP and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the amount of such obligations shall be the capitalized amount thereof, determined in accordance with GAAP.

(b)    Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Unless otherwise specified herein, and subject to the provision below, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent (except for changes concurred in by the Borrower’s independent public accountants) with the most recent audited Consolidated financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Agent (“GAAP”). If at any time any change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, unless and until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) for purposes of all financial or covenant calculations made under this Agreement and for purposes of defining and calculating Capital Lease Obligations, Indebtedness and Consolidated Indebtedness hereunder for such purposes, all leases or other agreements of any Person deemed to be a lease or other obligation under GAAP (as in effect from time to time) (whether such lease or other agreement is existing as of the date hereof or hereafter entered into) that would not be characterized as (i) a Capital Lease Obligation, (ii) Indebtedness or (iii) Consolidated Indebtedness, in each case, under this Agreement based on GAAP as in effect as of December 31, 2015, will not be deemed to be (i)

a Capital Lease Obligation, (ii) Indebtedness or (iii) Consolidated Indebtedness, respectively, as a result of any change in GAAP, or the interpretation or application thereof required or approved by such Person’s independent certified public accountants, occurring or coming into or taking effect after December 31, 2015, including ASC Topic 840 or 842 or any related, similar or successor pronouncement, guidance, publication or rule and (b) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Person at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.
