(a) The definition of “Commitment Termination Date” is amended by deleting the date December 24, 2004 in clause (a) thereof and substituting therefor the date December 23, 2005.
(b) The definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“‘Consolidated EBITDA’ means, for any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period plus (a) without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining such Consolidated Net Income, the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period, (ii) consolidated income tax expense for such period, (iii) all amounts attributable to depreciation, amortization and deferred cost charges for such period (including any accelerated deferred cost charges taken in such period), (iv) any extraordinary non-cash charges for such period recognized in accordance with GAAP, (v) any nonrecurring expenses or charges for such period (not to exceed $300,000,000 in the aggregate from and after September 29, 2004), (vi) any non-cash nonrecurring expense relating to the transfer of pension liability to certain persons in connection with the termination of the services contract between an EDS Subsidiary and the United Kingdom Government’s Inland Revenue Department for such period, (vii) all cash and non-cash charges relating to investments in aircraft leases for such period (not to exceed $150,000,000 in the aggregate from and after September 29, 2004), (viii) any non-cash compensation arising from any grant of stock options or other equity based awards and (ix) any losses recognized in such period from any marking to market of any Swap Agreement minus (b) without duplication and to the extent included in determining such Consolidated Net Income, (i) any extraordinary gains for such period and (ii) any gains recognized in such period from any marking to market of any Swap Agreement, all determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any period (each, a ‘Reference Period’) in connection with a determination of the Leverage Ratio for such period, if during such Reference Period (or, in the case of pro forma calculations, during the period from the last day of such Reference Period to and including the date as of which such calculation is made) EDS or any EDS Subsidiary shall have made a Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, Consolidated EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Material Disposition or Material Acquisition occurred on the first day of such Reference Period (with the Reference Period for the purposes of pro forma calculations being the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which the relevant financial information is available), provided that such pro forma
calculations for a Material Acquisition or Material Disposition shall not give effect to operating expense reductions and other cost savings other than operating expense reductions and other cost savings actually realized in connection with such Material Acquisition or Material Disposition.
