If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.09, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.09. (c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Transactions, a Specified Transaction or the implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to the Transactions, such Specified Transaction or such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change; provided that (A) such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies are factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies are factually supportable and reasonably anticipated to result from the actions taken or expected to be taken in the good faith judgment of the Borrower within 18 months after the date of the Transactions, such Specified Transaction or such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this Section 1.09(c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; and (D) any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.09(c) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in the last proviso to clause (vii) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA. (d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, amortization, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless accompanied by a permanent commitment reduction), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.09(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period. (e) At any time prior to the first applicable test date under Section 7.11, any provision requiring the pro forma compliance with Section 7.11 shall be made assuming that compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.11 for the first Test Period set forth in Section 7.11 is required with respect to the most recent Test Period prior to such time.

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the target of any Limited Condition Transaction or any incurrence of Indebtedness, disposition or Restricted Payment at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction) or any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or any such representation or warranty in any Loan Document is not correct on the date of such Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios, baskets and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such circumstance solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios, baskets and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ratio contained in Section 7.11 (other than Pro Forma Compliance)) or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or is otherwise revoked or withdrawn by the Borrower, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (and tested) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the target of any Limited Condition Transaction or any incurrence of Indebtedness, disposition or Restricted Payment at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction) or any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or any such representation or warranty in any Loan Document is not correct on the date of such Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios, baskets and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such circumstance solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios, baskets and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ratio contained in Section 7.11 (other than Pro Forma Compliance)) or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or is otherwise revoked or withdrawn by the Borrower, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (and tested) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
