For purposes of calculating DSCR as of April 30, 2021, A) EBITDA will be annualized based on an August 1, 2020 start date by taking the aggregate sum of Borrowers’ EBITDA for such period (start date through applicable Testing Date), divided by the number of months in such period (August 1, 2020 to the testing date), multiplied by twelve (12); and B) Debt Service shall be annualized by taking the total aggregate sum of such scheduled Debt Service payments for such period (start date through applicable Testing Date), divided by the number of such monthly Debt Service payment dates prior to the Testing Date, multiplied by twelve(12).
Excluding the Combined DSCR test on the April 30, 2021 Testing Date, all Combined DSCR tests shall be based on Borrowers’ Financial Statements for each applicable trailing twelve (12) month period.
