directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, other than, in the
case of (B) and (C) above, normal increases in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and that in the aggregate have not resulted in a
material increase in the benefits or compensation expense of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries;
3
(viii) any writing down, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and consistent with past practice, of the value
