Certain Conditions, Calculations and Tests. (a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (including, without limitation, tests measured as a percentage of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA), the First Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio (other than for purposes of any Applicable Margin); (ii) determining the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, baskets measured as a percentage of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA or by reference to the First Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio), in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (i) in the case of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into or solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or similar law or regulation) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” (or similar announcement) of a firm intention to make an offer is published on a regulatory information service in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction, (ii) in the case of any redemption or repayment of Indebtedness requiring irrevocable advance notice or any irrevocable offer to purchase Indebtedness that is not subject to obtaining financing, the date of such irrevocable advance notice or irrevocable offer and (iii) in the case of any declaration of a distribution or dividend in respect of, or irrevocable advance notice of, or any irrevocable offer to, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of, the Borrower that is not subject to obtaining financing, the date of such declaration, irrevocable advance notice or irrevocable offer (each, an “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ended prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such test, ratio or basket, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, then such test, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided, that, if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, redetermine all such tests, ratios or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such test, ratio or basket. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the tests, ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are subsequently exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such test, ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such tests, baskets or ratios will be deemed not to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any test, ratio or basket availability (other than the testing of any ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Margin”) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement/announcement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or amount shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and/or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Event of Default or Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Event of Default or Default, as applicable, exists on the LCT Test Date. If the Borrower has exercised its option under this Section 1.07 and any Event of Default or Default occurs following the LCT Test Date and prior to the consummation of the applicable transaction, any such Event of Default or Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision or covenant of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any First Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and/or Interest Coverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently or in a series of related transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision or covenant of this Agreement that does require compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (x) the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such incurrence and (y) the entire transaction (or series of related transactions) shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (including the use of proceeds of all Indebtedness to be incurred and any repayments, repurchases, redemptions or other retirements of Indebtedness). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any applicable ratio or financial test for any category based on an Incurrence-Based Amount permits Indebtedness, Liens, Restricted Payments, Junior Debt Restricted Payments, Asset Sales and Investments, as applicable, previously incurred under a category based on a Fixed Amount, such Indebtedness, Liens, Restricted Payments, Junior Debt Restricted Payments, Asset Sales and Investments, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been automatically reclassified as incurred under such category based on an Incurrence-Based Amount.
