(g)
amending of the definition of Operating Leases to delete the same in its entirety and replace it with the following:
""Operating Leases" means leases for which the obligations thereunder are not classified as Capitalized Lease Obligations under GAAP (subject to the proviso in the definition of Capitalized Lease Obligations).";
