Section 4.18 Measuring Compliance.
(a) When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio and the Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio, in each case in connection with the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto, the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any default or event of default blocker shall, at the option of Cedar Fair, be the date the Merger Agreement was entered into and such baskets or ratios shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving 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 occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Cash Flow of Cedar Fair or Six Flags) at or prior to the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations
2
solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction or related transactions; provided further, that if Cedar Fair elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into the Merger Agreement, any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the Merger Agreement was entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of subsequently calculating any ratios under this Indenture after the date of the Merger Agreement and before the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent baskets were utilized in satisfying any covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated Net Income for purposes of other incurrences of Indebtedness or Liens or making of Restricted Payments (not related to the Limited Condition Transaction) shall not reflect the Limited Condition Transaction until it is closed.
(b) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations will be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Cedar Fair.
