Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant ‎‎(including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, (i) Indebtedness of the ‎Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal ‎amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470–20 on financial ‎liabilities shall be disregarded, (ii) all liability amounts shall be determined excluding any liability ‎relating to any operating lease, all asset amounts shall be determined excluding any right-of-use ‎assets relating to any operating lease, all amortization amounts shall be determined excluding any ‎amortization of a right-of-use asset relating to any operating lease, and all interest amounts shall ‎be determined excluding any deemed interest comprising a portion of fixed rent payable under ‎any operating lease, in each case to the extent that such liability, asset, amortization or interest ‎pertains to an operating lease under which the covenantor or a member of its consolidated group ‎is the lessee and would not have been accounted for as such under GAAP as in effect on ‎December 31, 2015, and (iii) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be ‎construed, and all

For purposes of determining the ‎amount of any outstanding Indebtedness, no effect shall be given to any election by the ‎Borrower to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (as permitted by Financial ‎Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825–10–25 (formerly known ‎as FASB 159) or any similar accounting standard).‎
iii.Paragraph (a) of Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new paragraph (a):

For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term ‎‎“applicable Law” includes FATCA, and the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer.‎
iv.Paragraph (c) of Section 3.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new paragraphs (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g):
(c)‎ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other ‎Loan Documents, but without limiting Section 3.01(a) above, if the ‎Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties ‎hereto absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the ‎Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) ‎that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined (which ‎determination likewise shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent ‎manifest error), that:‎
‎(i)‎ adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR ‎for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances ‎are unlikely to be temporary; or
4

‎(ii)‎ the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental ‎Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over the Agent ‎has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the ‎LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the ‎interest rate of loans in the applicable currency, provided that, at the time of such ‎statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the ‎Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date ‎‎(such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or‎
‎(iii)‎ syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language ‎similar to that contained in this Section 3.03, are being executed or amended (as ‎applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,‎
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or ‎receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent ‎and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for purpose of ‎replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 3.03 with (x) one or more SOFR-Based ‎Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or ‎then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for ‎such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other ‎adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing ‎convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such ‎benchmarks which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published ‎on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its ‎reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such ‎proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become ‎effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have ‎posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such ‎time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent ‎written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace ‎LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an ‎amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such ‎amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the ‎Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any ‎such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with ‎market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively ‎feasible for the Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a ‎manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent.‎
‎(d)‎ If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances ‎under clause (c)(i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as ‎applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each ‎Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate ‎Loans denominated in Dollars shall be suspended, (to the extent of
5

the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest ‎Periods), and (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining ‎the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request ‎for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (to the extent of ‎the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to ‎have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to ‎the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein.‎
‎(e)‎ Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor ‎Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than one percent (1%) for ‎purposes of this Agreement.‎
‎(f)‎ In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the ‎Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming ‎Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any ‎other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate ‎Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any ‎other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, ‎the Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR ‎Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment ‎becomes effective‎.‎
‎(g)‎ For purposes hereof: ‎
‎(i)‎ ‎“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect ‎to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition ‎of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making ‎payments of interest and other technical, administrative or operational matters as ‎may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, to reflect the ‎adoption and implementation of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the ‎administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially ‎consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent determines that ‎adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or ‎that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, ‎in such other manner of administration as the Agent determines is ‎reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement);‎
‎(ii)‎ ‎“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board ‎and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed ‎or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New ‎York for the purpose of recommending a benchmark rate to replace LIBOR in loan ‎agreements similar to this Agreement;‎
6

‎(iii)‎ ‎“SOFR” with respect to any day means the secured overnight ‎financing rate published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as ‎the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal ‎Reserve Bank of New York’s website and that has been selected or recommended ‎by the Relevant Governmental Body;‎
‎(iv)‎ ‎“SOFR-Based Rate” means SOFR or Term SOFR; and‎
‎(v)‎ ‎“Term SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate for any period ‎that is approximately (as determined by the Agent”) as long as any ‎of the Interest Period options set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” and that ‎is based on SOFR and that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant ‎Governmental Body, in each case as published on an information service as ‎selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable ‎discretion.‎
