appreciation rights, or similar arrangements), (J) transaction costs, fees, losses and expenses in connection with the sale of Capital Stock, the incurrence of permitted indebtedness, permitted acquisitions, investments, and dispositions after the Initial Closing Date, provided that the amount attributable to this section (J) shall not exceed $5,000,000 in any four quarter period, (K) earn-out payments with respect to Permitted Acquisitions to the extent such earn-out payments reduced Consolidated Net Income for the applicable period, and (L) non-recurring legal expenses and other non-recurring charges, provided that the amount attributable to this section (L), exclusive of any amounts attributable to (A) through (K) hereof, shall not exceed $4,000,000 in any four quarter period or $12,000,000 during the term of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of (a) calculating compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article VI and (b) the determination of Applicable Margin, to the extent that during such period any Borrower or Subsidiary of a Borrower shall have consummated a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition approved in writing by the Required Lenders, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Person, business, property or assets, Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to such Person, business, property or assets so acquired or disposed of.
