(i) $20,000,000; and
(ii) (A) $20,000,000 minus (B) the difference between (x) the actual EBITDA of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters ended as of the last day of the relevant Test Period (the “Actual LTM EBITDA”) and (y) the number described as “ttm EBITDA” set forth in the table provided by Borrower to the Agent on March 28, 2022 (hereby agreed by the Agent) in the column corresponding to the end date of the same four-fiscal-quarter Test Period (the “Base LTM EBITDA”);
provided, that, (A) if the Actual LTM EBITDA exceeds the Base LTM EBITDA by more than $5,000,000, the minimum Unrestricted Cash then required shall be Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) and (B) if a Default or Event of Default exists at any time, the minimum Unrestricted Cash requirement shall be automatically increased on and after the date of delivery of the next Compliance Certificate of Holdings (or, if earlier, the date such Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered) to $20,000,000 and until such Default or Event of Default is waived or cured, the covenant shall be calculated without giving effect to any reduction.
(b) Minimum LTM Revenue. Not permit the revenue of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (as recognized in accordance with GAAP) as of the last day of any Test Period set forth in the table below, to be less than the amount set forth opposite such Test Period for such Test Period then ended:
