“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, for any period, the ratio of (a) EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of Capital Expenditures (Capital Expenditures paid with Revolving Loans shall be treated as unfinanced Capital Expenditures) for the period of four fiscal quarters ended on such date (or if such date is not the last day of a fiscal quarter, ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such date), but excluding any portion of the purchase price paid in connection with the ENG E&C Acquisition which may be a Capital Expenditure or any other Acquisition which may be a Capital Expenditure to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent, to (b) Fixed Charges for the period of four fiscal quarters ended on such date (or if such date is not the last day of a fiscal quarter, ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such date), all calculated for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
