Thats correct Matt.

Although if youre outbound in the hold and atc clears you for the approach- immediate exit on the mcdu and the aircraft starts a left turn back to XLN. No need to waste time finishing off the hold- youre still in the protected area of the hold and that particular MHA is not due to terrain clearance.

You can even start that 1000 foot descent to 4930 whilst turning to comply with the altitude constraint.
