Debt Incurrence Limitation on Indebtedness

Warning 6 computable baskets
Definitional caveat Indebtedness per the indenture is broader than company-reported debt (includes Disqualified Stock, Attributable Indebtedness, guarantees, hedging, securitization). Consolidated EBITDA per §1.01 may differ from reported or "adjusted" EBITDA — see the build-up above. True covenant leverage can shift modestly when reconciled to defined terms.
