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 Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein. If one or more of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any Investment Affiliate (i) acquires (including, without limitation, by merger or consolidation or another combination with any Person) any Real Estate Asset having a fair market value in excess of $25,000,000 or (ii) sells, transfers or disposes of any Real Estate Asset having a fair market value equal or greater than $25,000,000 (including as a result of the sale of the Equity Interests of any such Person or a division or line of business of such Person), then for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenants contained in Section 6.12, and otherwise for purposes of calculating or determining the Leverage Ratio, Secured Indebtedness, Total Asset Value, Recourse Secured Indebtedness, Consolidated Fixed Charges, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth, Unencumbered Adjusted Net Operating Income, Unsecured Interest Expense, Unencumbered Properties and Unencumbered Asset Value, such calculations and determinations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.
Accounting Terms; GAAP Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.
Accounting Terms; Changes in GAAP (a) All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.
(b) Unless otherwise indicated, all financial statements of the Borrower and the Parent, all calculations for compliance with covenants in this Agreement, and all calculations of any amounts to be calculated under the definitions in Section 1.01 shall be based upon the Consolidated accounts of the Borrower, the Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) in accordance with GAAP.
(c) If any changes in accounting principles after the Closing Date required by GAAP or the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or similar agencies results in a change in the method of calculation of, or affects the results of such calculation of, any of the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, then the parties shall enter into and diligently pursue negotiations in order to amend such financial covenants, standards or terms so as to equitably reflect such change, with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (determined on a Consolidated basis) shall be the same after such change as if such change had not been made. Until covenants, standards, or terms of this Agreement are amended in accordance with this Section 1.3(c), such covenants, standards and terms shall be computed and determined in accordance with accounting principles in effect prior to such change in accounting principles.
(d) 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 (i) 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.
Accounting Terms; Utilization of GAAP for Purposes of Calculations Under Agreement Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in conformity with GAAP. Financial statements and other information required to be delivered by Company to Lenders pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (xii) of subsection 6.1 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect at the time of such preparation (and delivered together with the reconciliation statements provided for in subsection 6.1(v)). Calculations in connection with the definitions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement shall utilize GAAP as in effect on the date of determination, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in subsection 5.3. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and Company, Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders shall so request, Administrative Agent, Lenders and Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Requisite Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and Company shall provide to Administrative Agent and Lenders reconciliation statements provided for in subsection 6.1(v).
Definitions and Accounting Terms Section 1.01.
Accounting Terms; Financial Statements All accounting terms used herein not expressly defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to them in accordance with sound accounting practice. The term “sound accounting practice” shall mean such accounting practice as, in the opinion of the independent certified public accountants regularly retained by the Company, conforms at the time to GAAP applied on a consistent basis except for changes with which such accountants concur.
Accounting Terms and Calculations Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP. To the extent any change in GAAP affects any computation or determination required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, such computation or determination shall be made as if such change in GAAP had not occurred unless the Borrower and the Bank agree in writing on an adjustment to such computation or determination to account for such change in GAAP.
Pro Forma Calculations (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section.
(b) In the event that the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness included in the definitions of Consolidated Secured Debt or Consolidated Total Debt, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), subsequent to the end of the Test Period for which the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.
(c) For purposes of calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, Specified Transactions that have been made by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section, then the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14 at the end of a Test Period (excluding determinations of compliance with such Section on a pro forma basis pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(ii), 2.14, 6.14 and 7.04), the definition of “Applicable Rate” and Sections 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(ii), the events described in Sections 1.10(b) and 1.10(c) above that occurred subsequent to the end of the Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.
(e) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction (other than the Transactions), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction (other than the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected to be realized and shall be certified in an officers’ certificate by such responsible financial or accounting officer delivered to the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (B) actions to realize such amounts are taken within 12 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and Section 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(ii) shall not include any cost savings, operating expense reductions or synergies that have not been actually realized.
Accounting Terms All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with those applied in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) ("GAAP").
Pro Forma Basis Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, financial ratios and tests (including the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio) pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.3.
(a) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, repurchases, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) subsequent to the end of the Test Period for which such financial ratio or test is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which such calculation is being made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, repurchase, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).
(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test, Specified Transactions that have been made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which such calculation is being made shall be given pro forma effect assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary of the Borrower or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3, then any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.
(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction or the Transactions, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer (including the “run-rate” cost savings and synergies resulting from such Specified Transactions that have been or are expected to be realized (“run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that with respect to the Transactions or to any Specified Transaction, such cost savings or synergies for any period shall not exceed 10% of Consolidated EBITDA (after giving effect to such Transaction or Specified Transaction, but prior to giving effect to such adjustments in respect of such cost savings or synergies) for such period); provided that (i) such amounts are projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from actions taken within 12 months after the end of such Test Period in which such Specified Transaction occurred (or, in the case of the Transactions, the 12 months after the Closing Date) and (ii) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period.
(d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the purposes of Section 6.1, the events described in Sections 1.3(b), (c) and (d) above that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.
