Borrowing Subsidiaries Within two Business Days after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by a Subsidiary and the Company, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a notice of such request to become a Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement. If the designation of such Borrowing Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or a Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Company, (a) within five Business Days after the receipt of such a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement in respect of a Domestic Subsidiary or (b) within 10 Business Days after the receipt of such a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement in respect of a Foreign Subsidiary, a request to that effect, and the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such request, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and comply with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act or any other applicable laws and regulations, and, unless the results of such inquiry conflict with the requirements of such laws and regulations, or if no such request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender is made within the time period set forth above, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Borrower hereunder with the same effect as if it had been an original party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary shall become a Borrower Subsidiary if it shall be unlawful for such Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder or for any Lender to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to such Subsidiary as provided herein or for any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary. Upon the execution by the Company and a Borrowing Subsidiary and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Borrowing Subsidiary, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to obtain further Loans or Letters of Credit under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary or any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, xxxxx x xxxx on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders, or shall have its Equity Interests pledged to secure the Obligations, to the extent that becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, granting a lien on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders or providing such pledge would result in adverse tax consequences for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that, if a Foreign Subsidiary is precluded from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or having all of its Equity Interests pledged as a result of such adverse tax consequences, to the extent that such Foreign Subsidiary is a “first tier” Foreign Subsidiary, Borrower shall pledge (or cause to be pledged) 65% of the total number of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary to the Lenders to secure the Obligations.
Future Subsidiaries If any Grantor hereafter creates or acquires any Subsidiary, simultaneously with the creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, such Grantor shall (i) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to become a party to this Agreement as an additional “Grantor” hereunder, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent updated Schedules to this Agreement, as appropriate (including, without limitation, an updated Schedule IV to reflect the grant by such Grantor of a Lien on all Pledged Equity now or hereafter owned by such Grantor), (iii) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to duly execute and deliver a guaranty of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, (iv) deliver to the Collateral Agent the stock certificates representing all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, along with undated stock powers for each such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any such shares of Capital Stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the security interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Collateral Agent, in accordance with Sections 8-313, 8-321 and 9-115 of the Code or any other similar or local or foreign law that may be applicable), and (v) duly execute and/or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, such opinions of counsel and other documents as the Collateral Agent shall request with respect thereto; provided, however, that no Grantor shall be required to pledge any Excluded Collateral.
