Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, that if Parent notifies Agent that it requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Agent notifies Parent that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent, Parent, and Borrowers agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and the Loan Parties after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions immediately before such Accounting Change took effect and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Parent” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, # all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof and # the term “unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided by accountants shall mean an opinion or report that is # unqualified (except as set forth in clause (ii) below), and # does not include any explanation, supplemental comment, or other comment concerning the ability of the applicable Person to continue as a going concern or concerning the scope of the audit (except to the extent of any “going concern” qualifications or statement as a result of the impending Maturity Date occurring within one year from the time the report is delivered).

Accounting Terms. Any accounting term used in this Agreement shall have, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the meaning customarily given in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied and using the same method for inventory valuation as used in the preparation of the financial statements of Parent for the quarter ending November 30, 2020. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in GAAP or any interpretations or other pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or otherwise, the term “unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided

Accounting Terms. Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements from which the Audited Financial Statements were prepared, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Borrowers and their 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.

As used in this Agreement, the Other Documents or any certificate, report or other document made or delivered pursuant to this Agreement, accounting terms not defined in Section 1.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement and accounting terms partly defined in Section 1.2 to the extent not defined shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP; provided, however that, whenever such accounting terms are used for the purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in this Agreement, such accounting terms shall be defined in accordance with GAAP as applied in preparation of the audited financial statements of [[Organization A:Organization]] for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. If there occurs after the Closing Date any change in GAAP that affects in any respect the calculation of any covenant contained in this Agreement or the definition of any term defined under GAAP used in such calculations, subject to applicable "fresh-start" accounting

Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be calculated, submitted and/or delivered (or deemed delivered) pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with, # solely with respect to such financial data required to be calculated, submitted and/or delivered (or deemed delivered) prior to the Seventh Amendment Effective Date (other than with respect to any Test Periods ending after December 31, 2018), the Historical Financial Statements, and # with respect to such financial data required to be so calculated, submitted and/or delivered (or deemed delivered) on or after the Seventh Amendment Effective or with respect to any Test Period ending on or after March 31, 2019, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and audited consolidated financial statements first delivered (or deemed delivered) to the [[Organization C:Organization]] after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, in each case of [clauses (a) and (b) hereof], except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein; provided, however, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required [[Organization C:Organization]] request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP

. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

1.01Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

For purposes of this Agreement, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all accounting terms and all financial data shall be construed without giving effect to any change in GAAP occurring after the Closing Date as a result of the adoption of any proposals set forth in the Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 840), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on August 17, 2010, or any other proposals issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case, if such change would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a Capital Lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) was not required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date.

Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. If, subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, any changes in generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States of America are required or permitted and are adopted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants set forth in [Section 7.4] or any other financial test set forth in this Agreement or in the related definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the Company’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations. In the event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles in connection with the financial covenants set forth in [Section 7.4] and each other financial test set forth in this Agreement shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States of America as of the Restatement Effective Date but giving effect to the relevant Accounting Changes, subject to further modification in accordance with this [Section 10.3]. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein (including the definition of Agreement Accounting Principles), 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, # 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 the Company or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, # 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 and # without giving effect to any changes in Agreement Accounting Principles resulting from implementation pursuant to the final standards for Leases (Topic 842) released on February 25, 2016 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing statement shall apply only to treatment of financial concepts in this Agreement (including determinations of Indebtedness and the calculation of the financial covenants) and not to the manner in which the Company prepares its financial statements (it being understood that appropriate adjustments shall be made for purposes of the Compliance Certificate or any other demonstration or determination of compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement).
