the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date pursuant Section 6.03(b) of the Bond Financing Agreement (other
than clause (15) thereof or Indebtedness secured pursuant to clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Liens in the case
of the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio) and as described in the second paragraph (other than clause (15) thereof or
Indebtedness secured pursuant to clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Liens in the case of the Senior Secured Net
Leverage Ratio) of the covenant described in the Limited Offering Memorandum under the heading “FINANCING FOR THE
TAX-EXEMPT PROJECT—Bond Financing Agreement—Covenants of Borrower—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness
and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” For purposes of making the computation referred to above, any
Specified Transaction that has been consummated by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary during any Test Period or
subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date
will be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in any
associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day
of the Test Period. If since the beginning of such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or
was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such
Test Period will have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then
the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such
Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended Test Period. For purposes of this
definition in the Bond Financing Agreement, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Specified Transaction, the pro
forma calculations will be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Company and may include, for the avoidance of
doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Company
in good faith to result from or relating to any Specified Transaction which is being given pro forma effect that have
been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating
expense reductions and synergies are taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be
taken (in the good faith determination of the Company) no later than twenty four (24) months after the date of any such
Specified Transaction (in each case as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized
on the first day of the applicable period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were
realized for the entirety of such period). For the purposes of the Bond Financing Agreement, “run-rate”
means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or with respect to which substantial
steps have been taken or are 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. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect,
the interest on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation
Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such
Indebtedness). Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime
or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate
actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.
