For the purposes of determining Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant period, the following expenses and/or severance costs may be added to the Consolidated Net Income for such period to the extent otherwise deducted in calculating Consolidated Net Income: (i) an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 for costs incurred in connection with the Brazil Arbitration; (ii) an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,500,000 for costs incurred in 2014 and first quarter 2015 relating to headcount reductions in Canada and the United States and lease termination expenses in Canada; and (iii) an aggregate amount not to exceed $728,000 for expenses relating to the Brazilian ICMS tax dispute settlement.

(c) The definition of “Debt Service Coverage Ratio” is hereby amended by

deleting it in its entirety, and replacing it with the following:

“Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Means, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA minus Consolidated Capital Expenditures of such Person for such period (excluding Capital Expenditures made by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 during the term of this Agreement relating to the Borrowers’ one-time investment in a new enterprise resource planning system), minus federal, state, provincial, local and foreign income taxes actually paid during such period, minus Distributions, to (b) the sum of (i) Consolidated Total Interest Expense of such Person plus (ii) the current portion of long-term Indebtedness; provided, however, that any permitted repurchases of Capital Stock made pursuant to Section 9.10 shall not be included in the calculations of this definition. The current portion of such Indebtedness will mean the principal required to be paid on such Indebtedness during the upcoming 12 month period, but excluding principal payments in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and any L/C Obligations.”
