Company and the Holders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such
provisions of this Agreement, subject to the approval of the Required Holders,

liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the expenditures are
made and deducted as part of the calculation of EBITDA in such period. and (ii)
changes in accounting principles concurred in by Company's independent public
accountants. In the event that Company and the Required Holders shall have
agreed upon any such required amendment, then, after such amendment has been
evidenced in writing and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto
has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in this ANNEX C-2 or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change,
refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of
such Accounting Change. If Company, the Holders and the Required Holders cannot
agree upon any required amendment within thirty (30) days following the date of
implementation of any Accounting Change, then all financial statements delivered
in accordance with ANNEX B to this Agreement and all calculations of financial
covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with this ANNEX C-2 shall
be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting
Change.
