Limitations on Enforcement<br />
While the Senior Debt and Hedging Debt are outstanding, the Senior Subordinated Debt will not become due until the<br />
conditions specified in any of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in the proviso in the following paragraph are satisfied. In addition, the<br />
Notes Creditors, the Proceeds Creditor and the Subordinated Creditors will not (without the consent of a two-thirds majority<br />
of the Senior Lenders or unless otherwise permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement) be permitted, while the Senior Debt<br />
and Hedging Debt are outstanding, to (i) demand payment of any Senior Subordinated Debt or Subordinated Debt, (ii)<br />
accelerate any of the Senior Subordinated Debt or Subordinated Debt or otherwise declare any of the Senior Subordinated<br />
Debt or Subordinated Debt prematurely due or payable on an event of default or otherwise, (iii) enforce any of the Senior<br />
Subordinated Debt or Subordinated Debt by attachment, set off, execution or otherwise, (iv) (in the case of the Notes<br />
Creditors) enforce (or give instructions to the Security Agent to enforce) the Notes Security, (v) petition for (or vote in favor<br />
of any resolution for), initiate, support or take any steps with a view to any insolvency or any voluntary arrangement or<br />
assignment for the benefit of creditors or any similar proceedings involving an Obligor other than the taking of any such<br />
action by the Notes Creditors against the Issuer, (vi) sue or bring or support any legal proceedings against any Obligor (or<br />
any of its subsidiaries) except for (A) proceedings brought by the Notes Creditors against the Issuer or solely for injunctive<br />
relief or for specific performance in respect of obligations under the covenants set forth in the applicable indenture, provided<br />
that no damages are claimed and such actions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or (B)<br />
proceedings brought by the Investors against the Issuer otherwise permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement, provided that<br />
no such action may be taken if, as a result, enforcement action commenced by the Senior Creditors could be delayed,<br />
disrupted or frustrated, (vii) otherwise exercise any remedy for the recovery of any Senior Subordinated Debt or<br />
Subordinated Debt or (viii) sue or bring or support proceedings against or make demand on the provider of any of the reports,<br />
with certain exceptions.<br />
Despite the limitations on enforcement discussed above, while the Senior Debt and Hedging Debt are outstanding, the<br />
Notes Creditors and the Proceeds Creditor will be permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement to take any of the actions that<br />
would otherwise be prohibited, provided that (i) payment of the Senior Debt has been accelerated, or liabilities under the<br />
Senior Debt have been declared prematurely due and payable or payable on demand (and demand has been made), in each<br />
case under the Senior Credit Facilities, or the Senior Lenders have taken any enforcement action under the security<br />
documentation relating to the Senior Credit Facilities, (ii) certain insolvency, liquidation or other similar events have<br />
occurred with respect to an Obligor (other than an Obligor that is not a borrower or guarantor under the Senior Credit<br />
Facilities) and such actions are taken with respect to such Obligor or (iii) a period (the “Notes Standstill Period”) of not less<br />
than 179 days has elapsed from the date the Senior Facility Agent receives an enforcement notice from a trustee relating to an<br />
event of default under the applicable indenture (other than an event of default triggered by a default under the Senior Credit<br />
Facilities) and such event of default is outstanding at (and has not been waived prior to) the end of the Notes Standstill<br />
Period.<br />
The Intercreditor Agreement will require the Security Agent to give prompt notice to the trustees if the Security Agent<br />
is instructed by a two-thirds majority of the Senior Lenders to enforce the security over the equity interests in any Subsidiary<br />
Guarantor (or any of their respective Holding Companies) that secures the Senior Debt and Hedging Debt (a “Senior<br />
Enforcement”). During the period from the giving of that notice to the date that the Security Agent ceases to use all<br />
reasonable commercial efforts to carry out that Senior Enforcement as expeditiously as reasonably practicable having regard<br />
for the circumstances:<br />
• the Security Agent will not be permitted to enforce any Notes Security over such equity interests in a manner that<br />
would adversely affect such Senior Enforcement; and<br />
• no Notes Creditor will not be permitted to take, or will be permitted to give any instructions to the Security Agent<br />
to take, any enforcement action prohibited by the preceding bullet;<br />
provided that the foregoing will not prejudice any other rights of the Notes Creditors to take any enforcement action against<br />
any other Obligor that are permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement will require the Security<br />
Agent to give prompt notice to the trustees of its ceasing to carry out a Senior Enforcement.<br />
Subordination on Insolvency<br />
While the Senior Debt and Hedging Debt are outstanding, but after the occurrence of an insolvency event of default in<br />
relation to any Obligor (other than the Issuer) (the “Insolvent Obligor”), the Senior Subordinated Debt owed by the Insolvent<br />
Obligor will be subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt and the Hedging Debt owed by such Insolvent Obligor.<br />
Moreover, the Investor Debt and, unless otherwise required by the requisite group of Senior Lenders, the Intercompany Debt<br />
