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.
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.
