Designation of Subsidiaries The board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of any Borrower may at any time designate (or redesignate) any subsidiary (other than any Closing Date Guarantor) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (including after giving effect to the reclassification of Investments in, Indebtedness of and Liens on, the applicable Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), (ii) immediately before and after such designation, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with Section 6.16 calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) prior to or on the date of the relevant designation, (iii) no subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (x) it is a “Subsidiary” (or any other term having a similar meaning) for the purpose of any Additional Debt, any Incremental Equivalent Debt or any other Indebtedness in excess of the Threshold Amount or (y) such subsidiary was previously an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iv) as of the date of the designation thereof, no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall own any Capital Stock in any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or hold any Indebtedness of, or any Lien on any property of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries and (v) no holder of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall have any recourse to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries with respect to such Indebtedness. The designation of any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to such Borrower’s equity interest therein (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted under Section 6.03). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence or making at the time of designation of any Investments, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time; provided that upon a re-designation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to continue to have an Investment in a Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (a) such Borrower’s “Investment” in such Subsidiary at the time of such re-designation, less (b) the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to such Borrower’s equity therein at the time of such re-designation.
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” if the designation would not cause a Default. All outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the designated Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an Investment made at the time of the designation and will either reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) or be a Permitted Investment, as applicable. The amount of all such outstanding Investments will be the aggregate fair market value of such Investments at the time of the designation. The designation will not be permitted if such Investment would not be permitted as a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary does not otherwise meet the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing conditions and the conditions set forth in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet any of the requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company shall be in default of such Section 4.09. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary of the Company shall be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary during any Suspension Period.
