Notwithstanding any other provision of this Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, the continued existence, after the date of such withdrawal or downgrade, of facts and circumstances that were incurred or otherwise came into being during a Suspension Period shall not constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Senior Subordinated Note Indenture or a Default or Event of Default hereunder.
