(ii)    the sum of:
(a) amount of extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains, including gains from asset sales outside the ordinary course of business and gains from settlements, curtailments and termination benefits recognized under ASC 715-30 [Settlements, Curtailments or Termination Benefits], to the extent the same were included in calculating Consolidated Net Income; provided however, that an amount not to exceed $50,000,000.00 in the aggregate relating to the Eaton Settlement shall be included in Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 and in each four fiscal quarter calculation period that would include the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014;

2

(c) the amount, if any, included in Consolidated Net Income for such fiscal period determined by TGI to be the amount by which the 747 Forward Reserve set forth in clause (i)(g) of this definition exceeded or will exceed, as the case may be, the actual loss suffered by the Borrowers against the Boeing Co.’s 747-8 program."
(c)The definition of "Daily Euro-Rate" in Section 1.1 [Certain Definitions] is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Daily Euro-Rate as determined by the previous sentence would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement."
(d)The definition of "Euro-Rate" in Section 1.1 [Certain Definitions] is hereby amended by adding subsection (D) at the end thereof, as follows:
"(D)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Euro-Rate as determined under any method above would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement."
(e)Section 1.1 [Certain Definitions] is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Payment Discount Arrangements” and replacing it with the following:
Payment Discount Arrangements shall mean the arrangements described on Schedule 8.2.7 [Receivables Sales] including, without limitation those among the Subsidiaries of TGI and Citibank, N.A. and TGI and General Electric Capital Corporation - Trade Payables Services Division or similar arrangements, provided that in each case the receivables sold under such arrangements shall be sold without recourse (other than recourse in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000) to TGI or any of its Subsidiaries.
(f)The first sentence of Section 2.1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the number "$250,000,000" and replacing it with "$350,000,000."

"(j)    Unsecured Indebtedness incurred in anticipation of, or within twelve months after, Permitted Acquisition(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to the Consideration for such Permitted Acquisition(s) to which such

3



Indebtedness relates less Indebtedness incurred in connection with such Permitted Acquisition(s) described in clause (ii)(b) above, provided that, after giving effect to such Indebtedness permitted by this clause (j), there exists no Potential Default or Event of Default and the Borrowers remain in compliance with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, on a pro forma basis, Sections 8.2.15, 8.2.16 and 8.2.17."
(h)Section 8.2.16 [Total Leverage Ratio] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:
"8.2.16     Total Leverage Ratio.
