Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. (2) The fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his or her holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (a) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (b) the Securities of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (c) the Securities of such series specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be Outstanding.

• Suspension of Certain Covenants If at any time after the Issue Date (i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by each of S&P and Xxxxx’x (or, if either (or both) of S&P and Xxxxx’x have been substituted in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agencies,” by each of the then applicable Rating Agencies) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants in Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.09, Section 4.12, Section 4.13 and Section 5.01(a)(2)(C) (the foregoing, the “Suspended Covenants”). Additionally, during such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a “Suspension Period”), the Company will not be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Company shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, and the dates thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence and dates of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date and may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any duty to notify the Holders of any such events or dates. In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the condition set forth in clause (i) of the first paragraph of this section is no longer satisfied, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(2). For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(iii), calculations under such covenant shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period. Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). For purposes of Section 4.12, on the Reversion Date, the amount of unutilized Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during a Suspension Period (or on the Reversion Date after a Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).
