if it was projected to be in compliance with the minimum ratio of MBH to DBH in both of the preceding six month projection periods (i.e., both the January 1 and July 1 projections of the preceding 12 months), or
in the event a circumstance over which the Company does not have control is the cause of such noncompliance.
