Such notice (an “Accounting Change Notice”) shall describe the nature of the Accounting Change, its effect on the current and immediately prior year’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP and state whether the Borrower desires to revise the method of calculating the Relevant Amount (including the revision of any of the defined terms used in the determination thereof) in order that the amounts determined after giving effect to such Accounting Change and the revised method of calculating the Relevant Amount will approximate the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change and without giving effect to the revised method of calculating the Relevant Amount. The Accounting Change Notice shall be delivered to the Agent within forty-five (45) days of the end of the Quarter in which the Accounting Change is implemented, or if the Accounting Change is implemented in the fourth Quarter or in respect of an entire Year, within ninety (90) days of the end of such period.

Furthermore, in calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio, (i) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the determination date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the determination date; (ii) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the determination date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the determination date will be deemed to have been in effect during the relevant period; and (iii) notwithstanding clause (i) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to interest rate swaps or similar interest rate protection Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreementsrevised Compliance Certificate.

If GAAP changes, as applicable, during the term of this Agreement such that any covenants contained herein would then be required or permitted to be calculated in a different manner or with different components, other than changes in GAAP that require items to be included in the definition of Indebtedness that were not so required before such change in GAAP, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement in such respects as are necessary to conform those covenants as criteria for evaluating the Loan Parties’ financial condition to substantially the same criteria as were effective prior to such change in GAAP; provided, however, that, until the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent so amend this Agreement, all such covenants shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP, as in effect immediately prior to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the definition of “Capital Lease”, any lease that is treated as an operating lease for purposes of GAAP as of the date -40- hereof shall not be treated as Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or as a capital lease and shall continue to be treated as an operating lease (and any future lease, if it were in effect on the date hereof, that would be treated as an operating lease for purposes of GAAP as of the date hereof shall be treated as an operating lease), in each case for purposes of this definitionAgreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agents a certificate executed by its chief financial notwithstanding any actual or accounting Authorized Officer certifying that such Pro Forma Adjustment has been calculated proposed change in accordance with Regulation S-X GAAP or GAAP, as the case may be, and shall include a calculation of such Pro Forma Adjustment prepared in reasonable detail, together with appropriate back up; provided, that, in the case of any Pro Forma Adjustment which aggregates in excess of $5,000,000, application thereof (including through conforming changes made with IFRS) after the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Agents a certificate from an Independent Auditor certifying that with respect to such Pro Forma Adjustment, (i) such Independent Auditor has performed the Agreed-Upon Procedures and (ii) subject to usual and customary exceptions and qualifications, in the course of performing such Agreed-Upon Procedures nothing came to the attention of such Independent Auditor which caused it to believe that management's assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects attributable to the transaction, that the related Pro Forma Adjustments do not give appropriate effect to those assumptions, or that the pro forma financial statements do not reflect the proper application of those Pro Forma Adjustments to the historical financial statements. Furthermore, in calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio, (i) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the determination date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the determination date; (ii) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the determination date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the determination date will be deemed to have been in effect during the relevant period; and (iii) notwithstanding clause (i) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to interest rate swaps or similar interest rate protection Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreementshereof.
