(e) If, at any time and from time to time after the Second Restatement Date, Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties because they are Immaterial Subsidiaries comprise in the aggregate more than 7.5% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or more than 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, not later than 45 days after the date by which financial statements for such quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), cause one or more such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to become additional Loan Parties (notwithstanding that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true. (f) Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to grant a security interest in any personal property of a type that would not constitute Pledged Collateral or Article 9 Collateral (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 4.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
