(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including Excess Availability, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Cash Interest Coverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and compliance with covenants determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, shall, in each case, be calculated (including, in each case, any component definition therein for purposes of such calculation) in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.09. (b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenant determined by reference to Excess Availability, Consolidated EBITDA, Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.09) that have been made (i) during the applicable Relevant Reference Period or (ii) subsequent to such Relevant Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio or test, or any such calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Relevant Reference Period; provided that, when calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with Section 6.12, the events described in this Section 1.09 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. If since the beginning of any applicable Relevant Reference Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Relevant Reference Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.09, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.09. (c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and cost synergies resulting from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and cost synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and cost synergies were realized during the entirety of such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of any financial ratios or tests (and in respect of any subsequent pro forma calculations in which such Specified Transaction is given pro forma effect) and during any applicable subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than eighteen (18) months after the date of such Specified Transaction, and (C) 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 (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; provided that any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of add backs pursuant to this Section 1.09(c) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in the final proviso of clause (vi) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” (including the cap set forth therein). (d) In the event that (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes) or (y) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (i) during the applicable Relevant Reference Period or (ii) subject to clause (a) above, subsequent to the end of the applicable Relevant Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock, in each case, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Relevant Reference Period. (e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, if the establishment of an Revolving Commitment Increase will be used to finance an Acquisition that constitutes a Limited Condition Transaction, then at the option of the Borrower and subject to the agreement of the lenders providing such financing, the establishment thereof (but not any extension of credit thereunder) may be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality in lieu of the requirements set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 3.02. (ii) in connection with any transaction permitted hereunder that requires satisfaction of the Payment Conditions, the Borrower will be required to comply as of the date of such transaction with the Excess Availability requirements (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, clause (b)(2)(B) of the definition of “Payment Conditions” or any requirements relating to the Fixed Charge Coverage, which are governed by Section 1.09(f)(i) above) set forth in the definition of “Payment Conditions”. (g) On and after the date pro forma effect is to be given to a Limited Condition Transaction and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), which Limited Condition Transaction has yet to be consummated but for which a definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Transaction has been executed and remains in effect (or, in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction that requires notice, such irrevocable notice has been provided), any ratio based conditions and baskets (including baskets that are determined on the basis of Consolidated EBITDA) shall be required to be satisfied assuming that such Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated and the related Specified Transactions have occurred until such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or such definitive agreement is terminated.

In addition, (x) whenever a financial ratio or test or other financial definition is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test or financial definition shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Borrower are available (as determined in reasonable good faith by the Borrower) and which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that for purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11, if no Test Period with an applicable level cited in Section 7.11 has passed, the applicable level shall be the level for the first Test Period cited in Section 7.11 with an indicated level) and (y) in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with (1) any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth herein, (2) any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or (3) any test or covenant contained in this Agreement during any period which requires the calculation of any applicable ratios that are measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, and, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”) the date of determination for any such compliance or calculation of any such ratios shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCA 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 applicable date of determination ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, such ratio shall be deemed to have been complied with.
