Domestic Subsidiaries Where Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower which are not Credit Parties hereunder (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") shall at any time constitute more than (the "Threshold Requirement"):
(i) in any instance for any such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, five percent (5%) of consolidated assets for the Consolidated Group or five percent (5%) of consolidated revenues for the Consolidated Group, or
(ii) in the aggregate for all such Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, ten percent (10%) of consolidated assets for the Consolidated Group or ten percent (10%) of consolidated revenues for the Consolidated Group, then the Borrower shall (i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary or Subsidiaries to become a Guarantor by execution of a Joinder Agreement, such that immediately after joinder as a Guarantor, the remaining Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries shall not in any instance, or collectively, exceed the Threshold Requirement, (ii) deliver with the Joinder Agreement, supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, corporate formation and organizational documentation and opinions of counsel as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and (iii) deliver stock certificates and related pledge agreements or pledge joinder agreements evidencing the pledge of 100% of the Voting Stock of all Domestic Subsidiaries (whether or not they are Guarantors) and 65% of the Voting Stock of all Foreign Subsidiaries, together with undated stock transfer powers executed in blank.
Excluded Subsidiaries (a) The Borrower will not permit any Excluded Subsidiary to (i) own or hold any Lien on any property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, (ii) incur any Indebtedness that is not Non-Recourse Debt, (iii) enter into any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party that is not expressly permitted by Section 6.09 or (iv) directly or indirectly own any Indebtedness of or Equity Interests in, or have any other investments in, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party.
(b) Each Excluded Subsidiary shall be a Person with respect to which neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Loan Party has any direct or indirect obligation to (i) subscribe for additional Equity Interests, (ii) maintain or preserve such Person's financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results or (iii) except to the extent permitted by Section 6.04, otherwise guarantee performance or payment of any obligations of such Person.
(c) If, at any time, any Excluded Subsidiary fails to meet the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, such Subsidiary shall thereafter cease to be an Excluded Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and, as of such date, (i) any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Subsidiary Loan Party, (ii) any Liens on the property of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Liens on the property of a Subsidiary Loan Party, (iii) any investments in such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be investments in a Subsidiary Loan Party as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness, investments or Liens are not permitted to be incurred or to exist pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower shall be in default hereunder) and (iv) the Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements of Section 5.12 and 5.13 with respect to such Subsidiary.
Immaterial Subsidiaries No Immaterial Subsidiary (a) owns any assets (other than assets of a de minimis nature), (b) has any liabilities (other than liabilities of a de minimis nature), or (c) engages in any business activity.
Inactive Subsidiaries The Inactive Subsidiaries do not (a) have assets with an aggregate book value in excess of $1,000,000, (b) have revenue in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate and (c) conduct any business activities.
Foreign Subsidiaries Subject to the following sentence, in the event that, at any time, Foreign Subsidiaries have, in the aggregate, (i) total revenues constituting 5% or more of the total revenues of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, or (ii) total assets constituting 5% or more of the total assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, promptly (and, in any event, within 30 days after such time) the Borrower shall cause one or more of such Foreign Subsidiaries to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to have their Equity Interests pledged, each in the manner set forth in Section 8.12(a), such that, after such Subsidiaries become Subsidiary Guarantors, the non-guarantor Foreign Subsidiaries in the aggregate shall cease to have revenues or assets, as applicable, that meet the thresholds set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, xxxxx x xxxx on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders, or shall have its Equity Interests pledged to secure the Obligations, to the extent that becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, granting a lien on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders or providing such pledge would result in adverse tax consequences for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that, if a Foreign Subsidiary is precluded from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or having all of its Equity Interests pledged as a result of such adverse tax consequences, to the extent that such Foreign Subsidiary is a “first tier” Foreign Subsidiary, Borrower shall pledge (or cause to be pledged) 65% of the total number of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary to the Lenders to secure the Obligations.
any Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary The Issuer may designate any Subsidiary of the Issuer (including any existing Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries owns any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any Lien on, any property of, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than solely any Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated); provided that
(1) any Unrestricted Subsidiary must be an entity of which the Equity Interests entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that may be cast by all Equity Interests having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or Persons performing a similar function are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer;
(2) such designation complies with Section 10.10; and
Additional Subsidiaries If any additional Subsidiary, other than an Insignificant Subsidiary, a Notes SPV or a Special Purpose Receivables Subsidiary, is formed or acquired after the Sixth ARCA Effective Date, the Borrower will, within ten Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent thereof and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary held by a Loan Party and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owed to a Loan Party. If at any time any Subsidiary that is not then a Loan Party, other than (A) an Insignificant Subsidiary, (B) prior to the PAETEC Notes Redemption Date, a Qualified PAETEC Group Member, (C) a Notes SPV, (D) any Subsidiary listed on Schedule 5.10 or (E) a Special Purpose Receivables Subsidiary, (x) is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary and is permitted by applicable law or regulation (without the need to obtain any Governmental Authorization) to Guarantee the Facility Obligations or (y) Guarantees any Loan Party’s obligations in respect of any AC Holdings Bonds or any other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness created under the Loan Documents), the Borrower shall promptly cause (A) such Subsidiary to Guarantee the Facility Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement (in the case of any Subsidiary described in clause (y), on terms no less favorable to the Lenders than those applicable under such Guarantee of other Indebtedness) and (B) the other provisions of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary will become a “Guarantor” and “Lien Grantor” for purposes of the Loan Documents. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, form or acquire any Subsidiary (other than Insignificant Subsidiaries and other than (i) any Notes SPV, (ii) prior to the PAETEC Notes Redemption Date, any Qualified PAETEC Group Member and (iii) any Special Purpose Receivables Subsidiary) after the Sixth ARCA Effective Date unless either (x) all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary shall be directly held by a Loan Party or (y) such Subsidiary shall have Guaranteed the Facility Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement and shall have satisfied the other provisions of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Subsidiary. Prior to the PAETEC Notes Redemption Date, the Borrower will not permit any PAETEC Group Member to form or acquire any Subsidiary except for the purpose of reorganizing the organizational structure or form of organization of any of the PAETEC Group Members. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the PAETEC Notes Redemption Date, any Qualified PAETEC Group Member not previously subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 5.10 shall be subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 5.10 as if such Qualified PAETEC Group Member became a Subsidiary on such date.
Unrestricted Subsidiaries The Borrower:
(a) will cause the management, business and affairs of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary to be conducted in such a manner (including, without limitation, by keeping separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to creditors and potential creditors thereof and by not permitting Properties of the Credit Parties to be commingled) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries;
(b) will cause each Unrestricted Subsidiary (i) to refrain from maintaining its assets in such a manner that would make it costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify as its individual assets from those of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) to observe all corporate formalities;
(c) will not, and will not permit any other Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Debt of any of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries;
(d) will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, permit any credit agreement for a senior credit facility, a loan agreement for a senior credit facility, a note purchase agreement for the sale of promissory notes or an indenture governing capital markets debt instruments pursuant to which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is a borrower, issuer or guarantor (the “Relevant Debt”), the terms of which would, upon the occurrence of a default under any Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (i) result in, or permit the holder of any Relevant Debt to declare a default on such Relevant Debt or (ii) cause the payment of any Relevant Debt to be accelerated or payable before the fixed date on which the principal of such Relevant Debt is due and payable; and
(e) will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to hold any Equity Interest in, or any Debt of, any Credit Party.
Additional Restricted Subsidiaries Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that were not in existence or not Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this Agreement as Subsidiary Parties upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.
