Further Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally covenant and agree with each Initial Purchaser that:
Discharge of Obligations If at any time all such Securities of a particular series not heretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that have not become due and payable as described in Section 11.01 shall have been paid by the Company by depositing irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds moneys or an amount of Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4,01, 4.02, 4,03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05 hereof that shall survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid. Thereafter, Sections 7.06 and 11.05 shall survive.
Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Issuer The Issuer assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Owners or holders of Receipts, except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or holder of any Receipt (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability shall be furnished as often as may be required, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary. Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of this Deposit Agreement.

Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Guarantor, each officer of the Company or a Guarantor who signed the Registration Statement, each of their respective directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, any Guarantor, any officer of the Company or a Guarantor who signed the Registration Statement or any such director or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, any Guarantor and each such director or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters through the Representatives have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the eleventh paragraph (beginning “Neither we nor any of the underwriters...”) under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
Guarantors Any time after the Effective Date, Borrower may cause any of its Subsidiaries to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower hereunder by delivering to Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement to the Guarantee Agreement, in form set forth on Annex 1 to the Guarantee Agreement and executed by such proposed Guarantor. If, at any time following the Effective Date, a Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including as a result of a redesignation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or ceases to be a Subsidiary, in each case as a result of a transaction not otherwise prohibited hereunder, then such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Obligations shall be automatically released and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement. In addition, if Borrower elects by notice in writing to Administrative Agent to cause such Guarantor to be released from its guarantee of the Obligations, and a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifies in writing that immediately after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then immediately upon the delivery of such notice and certification to Administrative Agent such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Obligations shall be automatically released and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary and that guarantees any Material Debt may be released from the Guarantee Agreement and its Guarantee Obligation thereunder, including as a result of being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless such Guarantor is simultaneously released from its guarantee of such Material Debt. Administrative Agent shall execute such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence the release contemplated by this Section 6.10.
