For the purposes of calculating EBITDA for any period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a “Reference Period”), (a) if at any time during such Reference Period (and after the Closing Date), Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall have made a Permitted Acquisition, EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to such Permitted Acquisition, are factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Parent and Agent) or in such other manner acceptable to Agent as if any such Permitted Acquisition or adjustment occurred on the first day of such Reference Period, and (b) EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2011, shall be deemed to be $982,000, (c) EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended June 24, 2011, shall be deemed to be negative $5,397,000, and (d) EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011 and each fiscal quarter thereafter, shall be based on actual EBITDA.”
