(d) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (as defined in 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time) (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied, or any representation or warranty would have been breached, or any Default or Event of Default would have occurred, in each case as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets or fluctuations of the target of such Limited Condition Transaction, or as a result of any breach of representation or warranty or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or other event, in each case at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations, such representation or warranty shall not be deemed to have been breached, and (solely for the purposes of any Default or Event of Default blocker) such default or event of default shall be deemed not to have occurred. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket (excluding determinations of actual compliance with Section 7.11 and determinations of the Applicable Rate) 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 or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with any of the covenants set forth in Article VII (including in connection with any Incremental Facility) at any time (whether at the time of incurrence or thereafter), any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Restricted Payment or Disposition meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the categories permitted under Article VII (including in connection with any Incremental Facility), the Company (i) shall in its sole discretion determine under which category such Lien (other than Liens securing the Obligations), Investment, Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under the Loan Documents), Disposition or Restricted Payment (or, in each case, any portion thereof) is permitted and (ii) shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to make any redetermination and/or to divide, classify or reclassify under which category or categories such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition or Restricted Payment transaction is permitted from time to time as it may determine so long as at the time of such redesignation the Company would be permitted to incur such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness or Restricted Payment under such category or categories, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a portion of any applicable Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Restricted Payment or Disposition could be classified as incurred under a “ratio-based” basket (giving pro forma effect to such transaction), the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify such portion as having been incurred pursuant to such “ratio-based” basket and thereafter the remainder as having been incurred pursuant to one or more of the other available baskets.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any incurrence-based financial ratios or tests (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and/or Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio tests) (“Financial Incurrence Tests”) would be satisfied in any subsequent fiscal quarter following the utilization of either (x) fixed baskets, exceptions or thresholds (including any related builder or grower component) that do not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (“Fixed Amounts”) or (y) baskets, exceptions and thresholds that require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and/or Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio tests tests) (any such amounts, “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), then the reclassification of actions or transactions (or portions thereof), including the reclassification of utilization of any Fixed Amounts as incurred under any available Incurrence-Based Amounts, shall be deemed to have automatically occurred even if not elected by the Company (unless the Company otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent).
