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).

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 [[Borrowers:Organization]] 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 [[Borrowers:Organization]]’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 [[Borrowers:Organization]]’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 [[Borrowers:Organization]] 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 GAAP 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 [[Borrowers:Organization]] 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).

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature will be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all accounting or financial terms used herein will be construed, and all financial computations pursuant hereto will be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825-10 (or any other Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification having a similar effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) occurs and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then upon the written request of Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (acting upon the request of the Required Lenders), the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrowers’ financial condition will be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not occurred; provided that provisions of this Agreement in effect on the date of such Accounting Change will remain in effect until the effective date of such amendment. “Accounting Change” means # any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or # any change in the application of GAAP by Holdings or the Borrowers.

Section # Change in Accounting Principles. If, after the date of this Agreement, there shall occur any change in GAAP from those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 hereof and such change shall result in a change in the calculation or operation of any financial covenant, requirement, standard or term found in this Agreement, either the Company or the Required Lenders may by notice to the Lenders and the Company, respectively, require that the Lenders and the Company negotiate in good faith to amend such covenant, requirement, standard and term so as equitably to reflect such change in accounting principles, with the desired result being that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be the same as if such change had not been made. No delay by the Company or the Required Lenders in requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a negotiation at any time after such a change in accounting principles. Until any such covenant, standard, or term is amended in accordance with this Section 1.03, financial covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles. Notwithstanding any change in GAAP which would have the effect of treating any lease properly accounted for as an operating lease prior to such accounting change as a capital lease after giving effect to any such accounting change, for all purposes of calculating Indebtedness for any purpose under this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall continue to make such determinations and calculations with respect to all leases (whether then in existence or thereafter entered into) in accordance with GAAP (as it relates to such issue) as in effect prior to such change and consistent with their past practices.

Accounting Principles. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial matters (including financial ratios and other financial covenants) and all financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), applied on a consistent basis and, except as expressly provided herein, in a manner consistent with that used in preparing audited financial statements in accordance with Section 8.2(b) and all accounting or financial terms have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Article VIII, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Borrower’s financial statements at that time, provided that until so amended such financial covenants shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, 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.
