For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in 68 62 any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 6.1 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture shall be unaffected thereby.
(c) In order to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance, the following conditions must be satisfied:
(i) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10 hereof who agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article Eight applicable to it), as trust funds in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm, as evidenced by a written report), without consideration of reinvestment of interest of such U.S. Government Obligations, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and the Company shall have irrevocably instructed the Trustee (or such other trustee) to apply such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations to said payments in respect of the Notes;

(A) the holders Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred (which opinion, in the case of defeasance, shall be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable Federal income tax law occurring after the Issue Date);
(B) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights of holders of Indebtedness of the Company (other than holders Holders of the Notes); and
(C) after the 91st day following the deposit the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally;
(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, in the case of Section 6.1(vi6.01(vi) or (vii), at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;
(iv) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;
(v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;
(vi) no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes on the date of such deposit or at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit; and
(viiv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent (other than conditions requiring the passage of time) to either defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with and that no violations under agreements governing any other outstanding Indebtedness of the Company would result therefrom. Opinions required to be delivered under this Section may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required.
