Effectiveness of Contract This Contract shall come into effect on the date the Contract is signed by both parties or such other later date as maybe stated in the SCC.
Effectiveness of Assignments Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.
Effectiveness of Covenants (a) After the Issue Date, following the first day: (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Ratings Agencies; and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture; the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.16 and 5.01(a)(ii) of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
(b) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”
(c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (iii) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.11 will be made as though Section 4.11 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.11 to the extent such Restricted Payments were not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of the third paragraph of Section 4.11, provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reinstatement Date pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.11 shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments under Section 4.11. Additionally, upon any Reinstatement Date, the amount of Available Asset Sale Proceeds will be reset to zero.
(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notification of the beginning of any Suspension Period or any Reinstatement Date.

Upon recording and acknowledgment of this Agreement by the Agent, from and after the Assignment Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Assigned Commitment and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder to the extent of the Assigned Commitment and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights (except as otherwise provided in Section 12.10 of the Credit Agreement) and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Assigned Commitment; provided, however, that if the Assignor does not assign its entire interest under the Loan Documents, it shall remain a Lender entitled to all of the benefits and subject to all of the obligations thereunder with respect to its retained Commitment.
