For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower 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 complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in LTM Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Company, Holdings or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, 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 complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Dividends, the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) 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, public announcement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, revoked or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted 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 and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
1.04 Classification. It is understood and agreed that any Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend (or a portion thereof), Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend (or portion thereof), Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07(i), respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof (it being understood that (x) the Borrower may utilize amounts under any category that is subject to any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, prior to amounts under any other category and (y) any Indebtedness, Lien or Dividend made pursuant to a Fixed Amount Basket shall cease to be deemed made pursuant to such Fixed Amount Basket but shall automatically be deemed made pursuant to an applicable Ratio Based Basket from and after the first date on which Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have incurred such Indebtedness, granted such Lien or made such Dividend or prepayment of Indebtedness, as applicable, under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07(i), pursuant to such Ratio Based Basket). It is further understood and agreed that, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, if any transaction is undertaken in compliance with any provision under Section 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 or 10.07(i) in reliance on the testing of any ratio (a “Ratio Based Basket”) on the same date that a transaction is undertaken under such Section in reliance on any non-ratio based provision (a “Fixed Amount Basket”), then (a) testing of any Ratio Based Basket will be calculated without regard to the utilization of any Fixed Amount Basket and (b) except as provided in clause (a), Pro Forma Effect will be given to the entire transaction.
1.05 Divisions. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
