the ratio of the Consolidated Total Debt of Borrower (excluding amounts outstanding under uncommitted repurchase lines) to the Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Net Worth of Borrower shall never be more
than 25.0 to 1.0. Thereafter, the ratio of the Consolidated Total Debt of New Parent (excluding amounts outstanding under uncommitted repurchase lines) to the Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Net Worth
