Settlement Date Basis For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of whether an investment is to be included as a Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated as a Portfolio Investment until such purchase has settled, and any Portfolio Investment which has been sold will not be excluded as a Portfolio Investment until such sale has settled); provided that no such investment shall be included as a Portfolio Investment to the extent it has not been paid for in full.
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.

(b) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Specified Acquisition Notice”), the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any period for the four-quarter period beginning with the period in which such Specified Acquisition is consummated (such period in which the Specified Acquisition is consummated, the “Specified Acquisition Consummation Period”) and continuing through the fourth consecutive fiscal quarter ended immediately following the first day of the Specified Acquisition Consummation Period shall not exceed 4.50:1.00 (in lieu of the ratio set forth for such period above); provided that (i) the Borrower may deliver a Specified Acquisition Notice no more than three times during the life of this Agreement and (ii) after any Specified Acquisition Consummation Period, the Borrower must have a Total Leverage Ratio of no more than 4.00:1.00 for at least two consecutive fiscal quarters before the Borrower may elect to deliver a Specified Acquisition Notice for an additional time.
