Pro Forma Calculations Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (subject to Section 1.02(j)), the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Net Tangible Assets shall be calculated (including for purposes of Sections 2.14 and 2.15) on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to each Specified Transaction occurring during the applicable four quarter period to which such calculation relates, and/or subsequent to the end of such four-quarter period but not later than the date of such calculation; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (i) determining the applicable percentage of Excess Cash Flow for purposes of Section 2.05(b), (ii) the Applicable Rate, (iii) the Applicable Commitment Fee and (iv) determining actual compliance (and not Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Financial Covenant, any Specified Transaction and any related adjustment contemplated in the definition of Pro Forma Basis (and corresponding provisions of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA) that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable four quarter period shall not be given Pro Forma Effect. For purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires Pro Forma Compliance with the Financial Covenant, (x) in the case of any such compliance required after delivery of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending on or about June 30, 2014, such Pro Forma Compliance shall be determined by reference to the maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio permitted for the fiscal quarter most recently then ended for which financial statements have been delivered (or were required to have been delivered) in accordance with Section 6.01, or (y) in the case of any such compliance required prior to the delivery referred to in clause (x) above, such Pro Forma Compliance shall be determined by reference to the maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio permitted for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014. With respect to any provision of this Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 6.02(a) or Section 7.08) that requires compliance or Pro Forma Compliance with the Financial Covenant, such compliance or Pro Forma Compliance shall be required regardless of whether the Lux Borrower is otherwise required to comply with such covenant under the terms of Section 7.08 at such time. For purposes of making any computation referred to above:
Calculations; Computations (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto); provided that except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of the Applicable Margin shall utilize U.S. GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 8.05(a)(i) for the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2012; provided further, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend any leverage calculation or any financial definition used therein to implement the effect of any change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the Closing Date on the operation thereof (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend any leverage test or any financial definition used therein for such purpose), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such leverage test or the definitions used therein (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such changes in U.S. GAAP; provided, further that all determinations made pursuant to any applicable leverage test or any financial definition used therein shall be determined on the basis of U.S. GAAP as applied and in effect immediately before the relevant change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until such leverage test or such financial definition is amended. 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect).
