(a) Clause (12) of the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” in Section 1.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(12) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles will be excluded; except that with respect to a change in accounting principle (x) to comply with the treatment of direct marketing and advertising costs under IAS 38, Intangible Assets, (y) with respect to Vessels from the fair value method to the cost method or (z) to comply with the revenue recognition requirements of IFRS 15, the cumulative effect of such change will be included.
