Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and Indebtedness Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.8), as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has any Subsidiaries, is engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person, or is an Affiliate of any other Person. All of the issued and outstanding Stock of each Credit Party is owned by each of the Stockholders and in the amounts set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.8). Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.8), there are no outstanding rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which any Credit Party may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock or other equity securities or any Stock or other equity securities of its Subsidiaries. All outstanding Indebtedness and Guaranteed Indebtedness of each Credit Party as of the Closing Date (except for the Obligations) is described in Section 6.3 (including Disclosure Schedule (6.3)).
Company Indebtedness The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, timely deliver all notices and take all other administrative actions required to facilitate (i) the termination of commitments, repayment in full of all outstanding loans or other obligations, release of any Liens securing such loans or obligations and guarantees in connection therewith, and replacement of or cash collateralization of any issued letters of credit in respect of the Credit Facility on or before the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Parent, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (it being understood that the Company shall promptly and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date notify Parent in writing of the amount of any such Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred and expected to be outstanding on the Closing Date), repayment in full of all obligations in respect of such Indebtedness and release of any Liens securing such Indebtedness and guarantees in connection therewith, in each case, on the Closing Date. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date payoff letters with respect to the Company Credit Facility and, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any Indebtedness incurred by any of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (each, a “Payoff Letter”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type, from the persons, or the applicable agent on behalf of the persons, to which such Indebtedness is owed, which Payoff Letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide for Liens (and guarantees), if any, granted in connection therewith relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing such Indebtedness and any other obligations secured thereby, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable Payoff Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, to be released and terminated. Upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the Company that the Company has determined, after reasonable consultation with Parent, that it will not at the time of the Real Estate Purchase (and without giving effect to the payment of the Real Estate Purchase Price or any other payment under this Agreement) have sufficient unencumbered and available cash, net of “cage cash”, cash on hand required by any Governmental Entity, the reasonably estimated additional amount of cash necessary to ensure the sound operation of the Company’s business consistent with past practice, and any other restricted cash, to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility, then to the extent of such shortfall Parent will extend an unsecured loan to the Company on the day of the Closing so that, together with such net unencumbered and available cash, the proceeds of such loan are sufficient to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility as may be necessary to release all Liens and obligations in respect thereof at the time of, or immediately prior to, the Real Estate Purchase, and the terms of such loan shall be reasonable for the circumstance as negotiated in good faith by Parent and the Company.
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.
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.
Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document, any Swap Agreement or any Banking Services Agreement have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations. If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor.
Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens (a) Except as described therein, as of June 30, 2013, Schedule 6.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding, available financing and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of such Indebtedness. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds $1,000,000 that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 6.15, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien, or to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien, not permitted by Section 11.7.
(c) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Indebtedness of the Company, except as specifically indicated in Schedule 6.15.
Intercompany Indebtedness The Company shall not create, incur, assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness arising from loans from any Subsidiary to the Company unless (a) such Indebtedness is unsecured and (b) such Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Indebtedness Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness.
