Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all accounting terms not specifically defined in this Annex F shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data required to be submitted by this Annex F shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. In the event that GAAP changes during the term of the Agreement such that the covenants contained in Clause C.13 or C.14 would then be calculated in a different manner or with different components, the Guarantor and Ex-Im Bank agree to amend this Annex F in such respects as are necessary to conform those covenants as criteria for evaluating the Guarantor’s financial condition

to substantially the same criteria as were effective prior to such change in GAAP and the Guarantor shall be deemed to be in compliance with the covenants contained in the aforesaid Clauses if and to the extent that the Guarantor would have been in compliance therewith under GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such change, but shall have the obligation to deliver with each of the materials described in Clause B.11 to Ex-Im Bank, on the dates therein specified, reconciling financial data presented in a manner which conforms with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such change. However, notwithstanding any requirement of GAAP after the Execution Date that would require lease obligations that would be treated as operating leases as of the Execution Date to be classified and accounted for as Capital Leases or otherwise reflected on the Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheet, such obligations shall continue to be excluded from the definitions of Indebtedness, Capital Leases and Capital Lease Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, 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 000-00-00 (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 Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein.

3. Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Guarantor pursuant to this Annex F shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed in this Annex F and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a round-up if there is no nearest number) to the number of places by which such ratio is expressed in this Annex F.

4. Limited Condition Transactions. To the extent that the terms of this Annex F require (i) pro forma compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, (ii) compliance with the Available Basket Amount or any other basket measured as a percentage of EBITDA, or (iii) the absence of a Potential Default or Event of Default as a condition precedent to the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination as to whether the relevant condition is satisfied (the “LCT Test Date”) shall, at the election of the Guarantor (an “LCT Election”), be the date of execution of the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction, immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable test period; provided that in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction for which an LCT Election has been made, it shall be a condition to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction that, as of the date of such consummation, no Event of Default under Section 11.03(a)(i) or (vii) of the Agreement exists or would result therefrom.

For the avoidance of doubt if any of such ratios or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to fluctuations in EBITDA of the Guarantor or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken.

If the Guarantor makes an LCT Election, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such subsequent transaction is permitted under this Annex F, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis (i) assuming that such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) assuming that such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

1. Inspections. Subject to Applicable Laws (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable export control restrictions), the Guarantor shall permit representatives of Ex-Im Bank to make reasonable inspections of the Guarantor’s books and records during the Guarantor’s normal business hours in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and cause the officers and employees of the Guarantor to give full cooperation and assistance in connection therewith; provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such inspections shall occur no more than twice annually. The reasonable cost and expenses of one (1) such inspection per year shall be borne by the Guarantor, and the costs and expenses of any additional inspection shall be borne by Ex-Im Bank, provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Guarantor shall bear the cost and expense of any such inspections during the continuance of an Event of Default.

2. Notice of Disputes. The Guarantor shall promptly give written notice to Ex-Im Bank and the Ex-Im Facility Agent of any material dispute that may exist between the Guarantor and (i) any Governmental Authority or (ii) the Borrower, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor.

5. Notice Regarding Iran Sanctions. The Guarantor shall immediately notify Ex-Im Bank and the Ex-Im Facility Agent upon obtaining knowledge that the Borrower or the Guarantor

6. Notice of Suspension or Debarment.

7. Covered Transactions and Delinquent Debts. The Guarantor and each of its Principals individually are not (A) Excluded or Disqualified from participating in a Covered Transaction or (B) delinquent on any substantial debts owed to a U.S. Governmental Authority or its agencies or instrumentalities as of the date hereof.

The Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, preserve and maintain its existence in the jurisdiction of its formation and all material authorizations, rights, franchises, privileges, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, or registrations from any Governmental Authority that are necessary for the transaction of its business and qualify and remain qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Properties, except where the failure to do so would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor may liquidate, wind up or dissolve any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) that does not constitute a Significant Subsidiary if such liquidation, winding up or dissolution would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

9. Maintenance of Properties. The Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain, preserve and protect all of its Properties in good order and condition, subject to wear and tear in the ordinary course of business, and not permit any waste of their respective Properties, except that the failure to maintain, preserve and protect a particular item of Property that is at the end of its useful life or obsolete or if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, shall not constitute a violation of this covenant.

10. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Guarantor may at any time (a) designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary and (b) designate any existing or newly acquired or formed Restricted Subsidiary of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless such Restricted Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries owns any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any lien on any property of, any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, (i) immediately before and after giving effect to any such designation, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) the combined assets of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries represent the majority of all assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries in the aggregate (as shown on the consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor as of the Guarantor’s most

The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Guarantor or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by a Senior Officer of the Guarantor) of the Guarantor’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s (as applicable) Investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the Guarantor or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by a Senior Officer of the Guarantor) at the date of such designation of the Guarantor’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s (as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary. Any designation by the Guarantor pursuant to this Clause B.10 shall be evidenced to Ex-Im Bank by promptly delivering to Ex-Im Bank a certificate of a Responsible Official of the Guarantor giving effect to such designation and certifying that such designation complies with the provisions of this Clause B.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been re-designated as a Restricted Subsidiary may not be subsequently re-designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary until at least two full Fiscal Quarters have passed since the date such Unrestricted Subsidiary was re-designated as a Restricted Subsidiary.

11. Financial Statements and Information Reporting Requirements. The Guarantor shall deliver to Ex-Im Bank:
