Additional Guarantors (a) If, as of the date of the most recently available financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, any Subsidiary shall have become a Material Domestic Subsidiary (or shall be otherwise designated as a Material Domestic Subsidiary by the Borrower hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement) or any Person shall have become a Material Foreign Subsidiary (or shall be otherwise designated as a Material Foreign Subsidiary by the Borrower hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement), then the Borrower shall:
(i) In the case of any such Subsidiary that becomes (or is so designated as) a Material Domestic Subsidiary, within 30 days (or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) after delivery of such financial statements, (1) cause such Material Domestic Subsidiary to enter into a Guaranty, or, if a Guaranty has previously been entered into by a Material Domestic Subsidiary (and remains in effect), a joinder agreement to such Guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) deliver to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and (3) (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent any certificates representing the Collateral consisting of Equity Interests issued by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (to the extent such Equity Interests are certificated) and Equity Interests owned by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (to the extent such Equity Interests are certificated and other than Excluded Collateral), (y) deliver to the Administrative Agent such joinder agreements, amendments and supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a Lien on the Collateral owned by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (other than Excluded Collateral) and (z) take all actions necessary to cause such Lien to be duly perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents in accordance with all applicable laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor merely due to its ownership of Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiary that owns real property.
(b) If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (or local counsel to the Administrative Agent to the extent customary in an Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in respect of matters reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to any Guaranty or joinder agreement or the amendments and supplements to the Security Documents or additional Security Documents delivered pursuant to this Section, dated as of the date of such Guaranty or joinder agreement, amendments and supplements or additional Security Documents.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be authorized, (A) to take any additional steps to perfect the above described pledges and security interests by any means other than by (1) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s) and filings with the USPTO and the USCO and (2) delivery to the Administrative Agent to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of stock certificates evidencing Equity Interests issued by the Guarantors (other than Holdings) and Material Foreign Subsidiaries, in each case as expressly required herein or by the Loan Documents, (B) to take any action with respect to any assets located outside of the United States other than, with respect to the pledge of the Equity Interests of any Material Foreign Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of organization of such Material Foreign Subsidiary (such jurisdiction, the “Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction”) (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements, pledge agreements or other Security Documents that will be governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction other than, with respect to the pledge of the Equity Interests of any Material Foreign Subsidiary, the Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction), (C) to make or authorize any filings with respect to intellectual property other than filings with the USPTO and the USCO, (D) to enter into any control agreement with respect to any Collateral or (E) to require the amendment of any limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents for any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the certification of uncertificated securities or the delivery of any director resignation letters in respect of any Foreign Subsidiaries.
