reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to quarterly financial statements and certified by an authorized financial officer of the Company as fairly presenting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows, subject to changes resulting from year-end adjustments and except as disclosed in the notes to such financial statements; provided, however, that delivery within the time period specified above pursuant to clause (iii) below of copies of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for such quarterly period (including all exhibits and financial statement schedules incorporated by reference therein) prepared in compliance with the requirements therefor and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause (i);

(ii)as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such year, and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form corresponding consolidated figures from the preceding annual audit, all in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, as to the consolidated financial statements, accompanied by an opinion thereon of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company, which opinion shall not be subject to any qualifications or exceptions as to the scope of the audit nor to any qualifications or exceptions not reasonably acceptable to the Required Holder(s), which opinion shall be to the effect that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and present fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except for changes with which such accountants concur); provided, however, that delivery within the time period specified above pursuant to clause (iii) below of copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for such fiscal year (including all exhibits and financial statement schedules incorporated by reference therein) prepared in compliance with the requirements therefor and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause (ii) with respect to the consolidated financial statements;

(iii)promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial statements, proxy statements, notices and reports as the Company or any Subsidiary shall send to its principal lending banks under any Material Debt Facility (excluding information that is immaterial or information sent to such banks in the ordinary course of administration of a bank facility, such as information relating to pricing and borrowing availability) or to its public shareholders and copies of all registration statements (without exhibits) and all reports which it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission); provided, however, that the Company shall be deemed to have made delivery of any such registration statements and reports if the Company shall have delivered such registration statements and reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission and such registration statements and reports shall have been made available for free on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s XXXXX system (or any successor system adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission);

(iv)within ten Business Days following the date on which the Company’s auditors resign or the Company elects to change auditors, as the case may be, notification thereof, together with such supporting information as the Required Holder(s) may request; and

Together with each delivery of financial statements required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company will deliver to each Significant Holder an Officer’s Certificate (x) demonstrating (with computations in reasonable detail) compliance by the Company and any Subsidiary with the provisions of paragraphs 6A, 6B and 6K and stating that there exists no Event of Default or Default, or, if any Event of Default or Default exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto, and (y) setting forth the aggregate operating income of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the period consisting of the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, and the percentage of the consolidated operating income of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period attributable to Unrestricted Subsidiaries. In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary has made an election to measure any financial liability using fair value (which election is being disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 10C) as to the period covered by any such financial statement, such Officer’s Certificate as to such period shall include a reconciliation from generally accepted accounting principles with respect to such election. The Company also covenants that promptly after any Responsible Officer obtains knowledge of an Event of Default or Default, the Company will deliver to each Significant Holder an Officer’s Certificate specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

5C. Inspection of Property. The Company covenants that it will permit any Person reasonably designated by any Significant Holder in writing, at such Significant Holder’s expense if no Default or Event of Default exists and at the Company's expense if a Default or an Event of Default exists, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to examine the corporate books and financial records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of any of such entities with the principal officers of the Company and its independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries with any such Person), all at such reasonable times provided in advance by writing to the Company and as often as such Significant Holder may reasonably request.

5J. Agreement Assuming Liability on Notes. (i) The Company covenants that, if at any time any Subsidiary is or becomes liable as a borrower, co-borrower, obligor or co-obligor under, or becomes obligated under a Guaranty Obligation with respect to, any Indebtedness or other obligation under any Material Debt Facility (other than a Foreign Subsidiary to the extent such Foreign Subsidiary is only liable for such Foreign Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder and does not guarantee any obligations of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary thereunder), the Company will, at the same time, cause such Subsidiary to deliver to the holders of the Notes a guaranty agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holder(s) (a “Guaranty Agreement”). Each such Guaranty Agreement shall be accompanied by a (a) certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of such Person certifying such Person’s charter and by-laws (or comparable governing documents), resolutions of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of such Person authorizing the execution and delivery of such Guaranty Agreement (or joinder thereto) and incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of such Person executing such documents and (b) a favorable opinion of counsel to the Company or such Person, in form and substance acceptable to the Required Holder(s). The delivery of such an agreement shall not in any way limit or modify the rights of the holders of the Notes to enforce the provisions of paragraph 6A.

(ii) If at any time pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Material Debt Facility any Subsidiary is discharged and released from all Guaranty Obligations, if any, with respect to any Indebtedness under all applicable Material Debt Facilities and all obligations, if any, under all applicable Material Debt Facilities as borrower, co-borrower, obligor or co-obligor and if (a) immediately preceding the release of such Guarantor from its Guaranty Agreement under this Agreement and the Notes and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default will have existed or would exist, (b) any fees or other consideration are given to the lenders under any Material Debt Facility to obtain such discharge and release (other than commitment fees and similar fees given in consideration of a new extension of credit in connection with an extension or replacement of a Material Debt Facility and excluding any amounts paid in satisfaction of principal or interest), each holder of

a Note shall have received such fees or other consideration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness under such Material Debt Facility and the outstanding principal amount of such holder’s Notes and (c) the Company shall have delivered to each holder of Notes an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the conditions specified in this clause (ii) have been satisfied, then, upon receipt by the holders of Notes of such Officer’s Certificate, the holders of the Notes shall promptly deliver a written discharge and release of such Subsidiary from its obligations under its Guaranty Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph 5J(ii) to the contrary, if a Subsidiary released and discharged from a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to paragraph 5J(ii) subsequently becomes liable as a borrower, co-borrower, obligor or co-obligor under, or becomes obligated under a Guaranty Obligation with respect to, any Indebtedness or other obligation under any Material Debt Facility (other than a Foreign Subsidiary to the extent such Foreign Subsidiary is only liable for such Foreign Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder and does not guarantee any obligations of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary thereunder), then the provisions of paragraph 5J(i) shall again apply to such Subsidiary.

6A. Limitation on Indebtedness of Subsidiaries. The Company covenants that it will not cause or permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur, create, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness except:

(i)Indebtedness under the AR Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of 10% of Consolidated Total Assets at any time;

(ii)Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company (including any Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated with a Subsidiary of the Company, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of a Person to a Subsidiary of the Company); provided that such Indebtedness was not incurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, such event;

(iii)Indebtedness owing to the Company, LuxCo, AustriaCo, any Restricted Subsidiary or Worthington Receivables (or any replacement or substitute thereof);

(iv)Indebtedness evidenced by letters of credit not issued or deemed issued under the Credit Agreement; provided that the aggregate face amount of all such letters of credit shall not exceed $30,000,000 in the aggregate at any time;

(v)Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are party to a Guaranty Agreement and of LuxCo and AustriaCo evidenced by letters of credit issued or deemed issued under the Credit Agreement;

(vi)(a) Indebtedness of Guarantors under a Guaranty Agreement and (b) guaranties of a Guarantor with respect to Indebtedness under the Primary Bank Facility, the Shelf Agreement and other senior unsecured Indebtedness permitted hereunder;

(vii)Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries (a) under the Primary Bank Facility in an outstanding aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 and (b) under the Shelf Agreement;

(viii)other Indebtedness (excluding Indebtedness of the type described in clause (i) or clause (vii)(a) above) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of 12.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

6B. Restriction on Liens. The Company covenants that it will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, create, assume, become or be liable in any way, or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on any of its assets, now or hereafter owned, other than Permitted Liens; provided that no such Lien shall secure any Indebtedness under any Material Debt Facility unless the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Agreement are secured by such Liens on a pari passu basis pursuant to agreements and documentation, including an intercreditor agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holder(s).

6L. U.S. Economic Sanctions, Etc. The Company covenants that it will not, and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (i) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (ii) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including, without limitation, any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of any Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (a) would cause any holder of any Notes or any affiliate of such holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such holder, or (b) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

6M. Most Favored Lender.

(i)If at any time after the date of closing any Material Debt Facility contains a Financial Covenant that is not contained in this Agreement or a Financial Covenant that is contained in this Agreement which would in any respect be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than the Financial Covenants set forth in this Agreement (any such provision, a “More Favorable Covenant”), then such More Favorable Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Covenant shall have become effective under such Material Debt Facility. Thereafter, upon the request of any holder of a Note, the Company shall (at its sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or

amendment to this Agreement requested by such holder evidencing any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, on the date of closing by operation of this paragraph 6M(i) with respect to Section 6.13(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, (a) the maximum Consolidated Indebtedness to Capitalization ratio set forth in paragraph 6K(ii) shall be 55% and (b) the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in paragraph 6K(i) shall be 3.25:1.00 and no additional agreement or amendment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be required to evidence such levels.

(ii)Any More Favorable Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this paragraph 6M (a) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made to such More Favorable Covenant under the applicable Material Debt Facility (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant) and the amendment of such More Favorable Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists) and (b) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such More Favorable Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from each Material Debt Facility or each Material Debt Facility shall be terminated (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant), such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists); provided, however, that if any fee or other consideration shall be given to the lenders (whether directly or indirectly through an agent) under any such Material Debt Facility for such amendment or deletion, other than commitment fees and similar fees given in consideration of a new extension of credit in connection with an extension or replacement of any Material Debt Facility and excluding any amounts paid in satisfaction of principal or interest, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration shall be given to the holders of the Notes (determined on a pro rata basis in accordance with the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such holders and the amount of the commitment of the lenders under such Material Debt Facility to make loans to the Company) promptly, and in any event not more than 10 Business Days after such consideration is given to such lenders. Upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, upon the request of the Company or any holder of Notes, the holders of Notes (if applicable) and the Company shall (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Company or a holder of Notes, as the case may be, evidencing the amendment of any such Incorporated Covenants. Upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (b) of the second preceding sentence, upon the request of the Company, the holders of Notes shall (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Company evidencing the deletion and termination of any such Incorporated Covenants.

(iii)For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Financial Covenants as of the date of closing (as amended other than by application of this paragraph 6M) (a) shall remain in this Agreement regardless of whether any Incorporated Covenants are incorporated into this Agreement, except that (1) the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Capitalization set forth in paragraph 6K(ii) may, by operation of clause (ii) of this paragraph 6M, be increased to no more than 60% (but no less restrictive on the Company than such level) and (2) the Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in paragraph 6K(i) may, by operation of clause (ii) of this paragraph 6M, be reduced to no less than a ratio of 3.00:1.00 (but no less restrictive on the Company than such level).

8F. Taxes. The Company has, and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has, filed all federal, state and other income tax returns which, to the knowledge of the officers of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, are required to be filed, except where the failure to file would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such taxes as are being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as to which timely extensions have been appropriately filed.

8J. ERISA.

(i)The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or Title IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the Code or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA or by the granting of a security interest in connection with the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(ii)Except in connection with the Gerstenslager Plan as referenced in Note L of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Date to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each NonU.S. Plan that is funded, determined as of the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

(iii)The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred (a) withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or Section 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans or (b) any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Non-U.S. Plan, in each case that individually or in the aggregate are material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(iv)The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715-60, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(v)All Non-U.S. Plans have been established, operated, administered and maintained in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders applicable thereto, except where failure so to comply could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other amounts required by applicable Non-U.S. Plan documents or applicable laws to be paid or accrued by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid or accrued as required, except where failure so to pay or accrue could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(vi)The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes will be exempt from, or will not involve any transaction which is subject to, the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representation in paragraph 9B.

(b)will be used, directly or indirectly, in violation of, or cause any Purchaser to be in violation of, any applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws; or

(c)will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making any improper payments, including bribes, to any Governmental Official or commercial counterparty in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in each case which would be in violation of, or cause any Purchaser to be in violation of, any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws.

(iv)The Company has established procedures and controls which it reasonably believes are adequate (and otherwise comply with applicable law) to ensure that the Company and each Controlled Entity is and will continue to be in compliance with all applicable U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws.

“Discounted Value” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the yield to maturity implied by (i) the "Ask Yields" reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City local time) on the Business Day next preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the Treasury Yield Monitor page of Standard & Poor’s MMS – Treasury Market Insight (or, if Standard & Poor’s shall cease to report such yields in MMS – Treasury Market Insight or shall cease to be Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of information for calculating yield-maintenance amounts on privately placed notes, then such source as is then Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of such information), or if such yields shall not be reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time shall not be ascertainable, (ii) the Treasury Constant Maturity Series yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields shall have been so reported as of the Business Day next preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield shall be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bondequivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to paragraph 4B or 7A.

“Settlement Date” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to paragraph 7A, as the context requires.

“Yield-Maintenance Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Yield-Maintenance Amount shall in no event be less than zero.

(i)All references in this Agreement to “generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP” shall be deemed to refer to generally accepted accounting principles in effect in the United States at the time of application thereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all determinations with respect to accounting matters hereunder shall be made, and all unaudited financial statements and certificates and reports as to financial matters required to be furnished hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph 5A or, if no such statements have been so delivered, the most recent audited financial statements referred to in clause (i) of paragraph 8B; provided that, if the Company notifies the holders of Notes that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on

the operation of such provision (or if the Required Holder(s) notify the Company that the Required Holder(s) 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 or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Any reference herein to any specific citation, section or form of law, statute, rule or regulation shall refer to such new, replacement or analogous citation, section or form should such citation, section or form be modified, amended or replaced. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement providing for any amount to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for purposes of determining compliance with the covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 000-00-00 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the definitions set forth in this Agreement and any financial or other covenant calculations required by this Agreement shall be computed to exclude any change to lease accounting rules from those in effect pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 840 (Leases) and other related lease accounting guidance as in effect on February 16, 2018.

(ii)All pro forma computations required to be made hereunder giving effect to any acquisition or disposition, or issuance, incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness, or other transaction shall in each case be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro forma computation made hereunder to determine whether such acquisition or disposition, or issuance, incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness, or other transaction is permitted to be consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period covered by any component of such pro forma computation and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to paragraph 5A(i) or 5A(ii) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, ending with the last fiscal quarter included in the financial statements referred to in paragraph 8B(ii)), and, to the extent applicable, to the historical earnings and cash flows associated with the assets acquired or disposed of (but without giving effect to any synergies or cost savings) and any related incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness, all in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Derivatives Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).
