Certain Compliance Calculations Clause Samples
The 'Certain Compliance Calculations' clause defines how specific compliance-related measurements or determinations are to be made under the agreement. It typically outlines the methods, standards, or timeframes for calculating whether parties are meeting regulatory, financial, or contractual obligations. For example, it may specify how to calculate ratios, thresholds, or other compliance metrics using agreed-upon accounting principles or reporting periods. This clause ensures consistency and transparency in compliance assessments, reducing the risk of disputes over whether obligations have been met.
Certain Compliance Calculations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in the event any Lien is incurred or assumed, any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is entered into or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a ratio basket based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, such ratio(s) shall be calculated with respect to such incurrence, assumption or other transaction without giving effect to amounts being utilized under any other basket (other than a ratio basket based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio) on the same date.
