As of the Issue Date, all of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries will be ‘‘Restricted Subsidiaries’’.<br />

However, under the circumstances described below under the caption ‘‘—Certain Covenants—<br />

Designation of Unrestricted and Restricted Subsidiaries’’, the Parent Guarantor will be permitted to<br />

designate certain of its Subsidiaries as ‘‘Unrestricted Subsidiaries’’. Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the<br />

Parent Guarantor will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture.<br />

Although the Indenture will contain limitations on the amount of additional Debt that the Issuer,<br />

the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur, the amount of such additional Debt<br />

could be substantial. The Indenture permits all Senior Debt to be secured.<br />

As a result of the enforcement standstills and the various subordination provisions described<br />

below, in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any Subsidiary<br />

Guarantor, holders of Notes may recover less, ratably, than other creditors of the Subsidiary<br />

Guarantors (including trade creditors).<br />

Enforcement Standstills in Relation to the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guarantees<br />

The Indenture will provide that no Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee may become due, and that<br />

neither the holders of the Notes nor the Trustee may take any Enforcement Action against a Subsidiary<br />

Guarantor without the prior consent of the applicable Senior Agent or Senior Agents unless:<br />

(a) certain insolvency or reorganization events have occurred in relation to such Subsidiary<br />

Guarantor; or<br />

(b) the holders of Designated Senior Debt have taken any Enforcement Action in relation to such<br />

Subsidiary Guarantor; or<br />

(c) a default has occurred under the Notes; and<br />

(i) the holders of the Notes or the trustee has notified the applicable Senior Agents; and<br />

(ii) a period of not less than 90 days (in the case of a payment default) or 179 days (in the<br />

case of a non-payment default) has passed from the date the applicable Senior Agents<br />

were notified of the default (a ‘‘Standstill Period’’); and<br />

(iii) at the end of the Standstill Period, the default is continuing and has not been waived by<br />

the holders of the Notes.<br />

Subordination on Insolvency<br />

The Indenture will provide that, in the event of any distribution to the creditors of a Subsidiary<br />

Guarantor:<br />

(a) in a liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor;<br />

(b) in an insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, receivership, administration,<br />

voluntary arrangement or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its<br />

property;<br />

(c) in an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of such Subsidiary Guarantor; or<br />

(d) in any marshalling of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets and liabilities,<br />

the holders of Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be entitled to receive payment in full in<br />

cash of all obligations in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of<br />

any proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt whether or not allowed or allowable<br />

in any such proceeding) before the holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with<br />

respect to the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor (except that holders of Notes may receive and<br />
