Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness (a) The Company agrees, and each Holder of the Securities by his acceptance thereof likewise agrees, that the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities (all of the foregoing, a "Payment or Distribution") is subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, except as provided in Section 8.02, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. A Payment or Distribution shall include any asset of any kind or character which is not unacceptable to the Trustee, and may consist of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise, and shall include, without limitation, any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Securities or the making of any deposit of funds or securities pursuant to this Indenture (including, without limitation, any deposit pursuant to Article 8 hereof). (b) The Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefit of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any term of any instrument relating to the Senior Indebtedness or the extension or renewal or refinancing of the Senior Indebtedness. (c) All the provisions of this Indenture and the Securities shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 10 so far as they may be applicable thereto, except that nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to claims for, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07. (d) No right of any holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time or in any way be affected or impaired by any failure to act on the part of the Company, any Paying Agent, the Holders of the Securities, the Trustee or the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, or by any noncompliance by the Company, any Paying Agent, the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee with any of the terms, provisions and covenants of the Securities or this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder of Senior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise charged with. (e) In the event that the Securities are declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of a default hereunder, the Company will give prompt notice in writing of such happening to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Section 5.01, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Debt. (a) In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in respect of all such Senior Debt and all other amounts due or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities. (b) In the event of any acceleration of Maturity of the Securities because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount due in respect of all Senior Debt is paid in cash or other form of payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or otherwise), and the Company shall give prompt written notice of such acceleration to such holders of Senior Debt. (c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligations in respect of, any Senior Debt, unless all such payments due in respect of such Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption, or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued. (d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c), any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust): (1) after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), then, unless all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor; or (2) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 5.01(c) above, then, unless the amount of such Senior Debt then due shall have been paid in full, or provision made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived, such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Senior Debt may have been issued, as their interests may appear.
Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt.
No Senior Subordinated Debt The Company shall not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of a Guarantor and senior in any respect in right of payment to any of the Subsidiary Guarantees.
Limitation on Subsidiary Indebtedness The Issuer will not, and will cause the Parent not to, permit any Subsidiary (which is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) to create, assume, incur or guarantee or otherwise be or become liable in respect of any Indebtedness other than: (a) Indebtedness of any Subsidiaries outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and described on Schedule 5.15 hereto; (b) Indebtedness of any Person which becomes a Subsidiary of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary after the date of Closing and which is outstanding on the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary (or such Person is at such time contractually bound, in writing to incur such Indebtedness); (c) any replacement, extension or renewal of any Indebtedness permitted by paragraphs (a) or (b) above (without increase in the principal amount thereof); (d) any Indebtedness of Subsidiaries owing to the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor; (e) any classification or reclassification of an obligation, including a lease, as debt as a result of a change or modification of an accounting principal or standard, including GAAP; (f) current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business but not incurred through (i) the borrowing of money, or (ii) the obtaining of credit except for credit on an open account basis customarily extended and in fact extended in connection with normal purchases of goods and services; (g) Indebtedness in respect of taxes, assessments, governmental charges or levies and claims for labor, materials and supplies to the extent that payment therefor shall not at the time be required to be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4; (h) Indebtedness in respect of judgments only to the extent, for the period and for an amount not resulting in an Event of Default; (i) endorsements for collection, deposit or negotiation and warranties of products or services, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business; and (j) Unsecured Indebtedness not otherwise permitted by the foregoing, provided that after giving effect thereto the aggregate principal amount of all unpaid Indebtedness permitted pursuant to this clause (j) does not exceed 10% of Gross Asset Value determined as of the date of such creation, assumption, incurrence or guarantee.
Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions (a) Each Holder by accepting a Security of any series acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Four or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person.
Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than a Guarantor or the Issuer, to guarantee the payment of any First Lien Obligations, including any Indebtedness (or any interest on such Indebtedness) under the Senior Credit Facilities, the NXP Notes and the Existing Secured Notes unless: (1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; (2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against any Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Person under its Guarantee or otherwise; and (3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: (A) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and (B) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity.
Effect on Senior Indebtedness No supplemental indenture shall adversely affect the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness under Article Sixteen without the consent of such holder.
Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction unless: (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within six months from the date of the acquisition of the Restricted Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations of such Restricted Property, whichever is later; or (b) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction is between the Guarantor and a Restricted Subsidiary of the Guarantor, or between Restricted Subsidiaries of the Guarantor; or (c) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years; or (d) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction constitutes a Permitted Lien for the purposes of Section 3.03 hereof; or (e) the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, within a one year period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, (i) applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary having a maturity of more than one year that is not subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee or (ii) enters into a bona fide commitment to expend an amount not less than the Attributable Indebtedness for such Sale-Leaseback Transaction during such one-year period to the acquisition, construction or development of other similar Property.
