Availability of Earnings Statements The Company shall make generally available to holders of its securities as soon as may be practicable but in no event later than the last day of the fifteenth (15th) full calendar month following the calendar quarter in which the most recent effective date occurs in accordance with Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations, an earnings statement (which need not be audited but shall be in reasonable detail) for a period of twelve (12) months ended commencing after the effective date, and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations).

Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date The Company or the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent such Taxes are not fully reserved for in the Company’s financial statements, the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the unreserved portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date. Such payment, if any, shall be paid by the Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Company or the Purchaser that such Taxes were paid by the Company or the Purchaser for a period beginning prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period (the “Pro Rata Amount”), and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to the Company with the payment of any taxes due hereunder, the Sellers’ Pro Rata Amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns. Any net operating losses or credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a reasonable manner as agreed to by the parties.
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio Permit the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2008 to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0.
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.
Payment on Non-Business Days Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be due on the next succeeding Business Day.
