Limitations on Debt Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Debt except:
(a) the Obligations;
(b) Debt incurred in connection with a Hedging Agreement with a counterparty and upon terms and conditions (including without limitation interest rate) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(c) Subordinated Debt;
(d) Debt existing on the Closing Date and not otherwise permitted under this Section 10.1 hereof, as set forth on Schedule 6.1(t) hereto and the renewal and refinancing (but not the increase at the aggregate principal amount thereof) thereof;
(e) purchase money Debt of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Debt of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries incurred in connection with Capitalized Leases in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 outstanding on any date of determination;
(f) Debt consisting of Guaranty Obligations permitted by Section 10.2 hereof;
(g) Debt of the Non-U.S. Borrowers to Borrowers under loans and advances permitted by Section 10.4(d);
(h) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, unsecured Debt of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500,000 at any time outstanding, provided that such Debt is not senior in right of payment to the payment of the Debt arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and
(i) Debt owing by an SPE in connection with the Excluded Projects, up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000; provided, that no agreement or instrument with respect to Debt permitted to be incurred by this Section 10.1 shall restrict, limit or otherwise encumber (by covenant or otherwise) the ability of any Subsidiary of any Borrower to make any payment to any Borrower or any other Subsidiary (in the form of dividends, intercompany advances or otherwise) for the purpose of enabling the Borrowers to pay the Obligations.
Limitations on Conversions The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Debenture, and the Holder shall not have the right to a conversion of any portion of this Debenture pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Debenture and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible debentures or convertible preferred shares or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Common Shares the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the actual number of outstanding Common Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number on the Automatic Conversion Date and the Conversion Settlement Date, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of Common Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such issuances would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to such automatic conversion. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Shares to the Holder upon conversion of this Debenture results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Common Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Debentures that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Debenture in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of, or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) under, the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Debenture pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.
Limitations on Guarantees The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.
Limitations on Transfers Federal regulations limit transfers for savings accounts and money market accounts, if applicable. During any statement period, you may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another Credit Union account of yours or to a third party by means of a pre-authorized or automatic transfer. This includes transfers by phone, fax, wire and cable, audio response, overdraft transfers to checking and Internet instruction. No more than three of the six transfers may be made by check, draft or debit card, or similar order to a third party. A pre-authorized transfer includes any arrangement with us to pay a third party from your account upon oral or written orders including orders received through the automated clearinghouse (ACH). If you exceed the transfer limitations set forth above in any statement period, the transfer may not be completed, your regular share account and draft account may be subject to a fee, account closure, or suspension or we may revoke your access to Online Banking. We will not be required to complete a withdrawal or transfer from your account(s) if you do not have enough money in the designated account(s) to cover the transaction; however, we may complete the transaction. You agree not to use Online Banking to initiate a transaction that would cause the balance in your designated account(s) to go below zero. If you have a line-of-credit, you agree not to use Online Banking to initiate a transaction that would cause the outstanding balance of your line-of-credit to go above your credit limit. We will not be required to complete such a transaction, but if we do, you agree to pay us the excess amount or improperly withdrawn amount or transferred amount immediately upon our request. We also will refuse to complete your Online Banking transactions if we have canceled your Online Banking access, or we cannot complete the transaction for security reasons. The functions and limitations of Online Banking may be updated, without notice, at the option of the Credit Union in order to provide improved service to the membership.
Restrictions on Issuance of Shares If at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion, that listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock covered by the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.
Limitations on Debt Payments and Amendments (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, prepay, repurchase or redeem or otherwise defease any Restricted Indebtedness; provided, however, that (x) the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase or redeem or otherwise defease Restricted Indebtedness with the Net Cash Proceeds of Permitted Other Indebtedness that is unsecured or secured by a Lien ranking junior to the Lien securing the Obligations incurred in accordance with Section 10.1(bb)(i)(b) and (y) the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase or redeem Restricted Indebtedness (i) in an aggregate amount from the 2014 July Repricing Effective Date, when aggregated with (A) the aggregate amount of dividends paid pursuant to Section 10.6(c) from the Original Closing Date (other than dividends paid pursuant to Section 10.6(c)(x) prior to March 31, 2015) and (B) all loans and advances to any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower made pursuant to Section 10.5(m) (in lieu of dividends permitted by Section 10.6(c)), not in excess of the sum of (1) $400,000,000 plus (2) if the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Senior Secured Leverage Test, both before and after giving effect, on a Pro Forma Basis, to the making of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption, the Applicable Amount at the time of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption; provided the use of such amounts in clauses (1) and (2) shall be subject to no Default or Event of Default having occurred and continuing at the date of such prepayment, repurchase, redemption or other defeasance or resulting therefrom, plus (3) the Applicable Equity Amount at the time of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption; for the avoidance of doubt, dividends paid in reliance on and in compliance with Section 10.6(c) shall not retroactively cause any breach of this Section 10.7(a)(y)(i) in respect of amounts previously prepaid in compliance with this Section 10.7(a)(y)(i); and (ii) with the proceeds of Permitted Additional Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.7 shall restrict (i) any prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance made after the Original Closing Date in connection with the Debt Repayment, (ii) the making of any prepayment of accrued but unpaid interest and/or original issue discount in respect of the Senior Interim PIK Loans and/or the PIK Notes in accordance with the “Optional Interest Repayment” provisions thereof as of the end of any accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of the Original Closing Date or (iii) the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of the PIK Notes with the net proceeds of Additional 2018 New Dollar Term Loans.
(b) The Borrower will not waive, amend, modify, terminate or release any Restricted Indebtedness to the extent that any such waiver, amendment, modification, termination or release would be adverse to the Lenders in any material respect.
(c) Prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, to the extent any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are issued pursuant to Section 10.1(cc) for the purpose of consummating a Permitted Debt Exchange, (i) the Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, prepay, repurchase, redeem or otherwise defease or acquire any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes unless the Borrower shall concurrently voluntarily prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.1(a) on a pro rata basis among the Class or Classes of Term Loans from which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes were exchanged, in an amount not less than the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes that are proposed to be prepaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or acquired and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Permitted Debt Exchange Notes in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange then outstanding (prior to giving effect to such proposed prepayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition) and (b) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans of the Class or Classes from which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes were exchanged then outstanding and (ii) the Borrower will not waive, amend or modify the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes or any indenture pursuant to which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes have been issued in any manner inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.15(a), 10.1(cc) or the definition of “Permitted Other Indebtedness” or that would result in a Default hereunder if such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes (as so amended or modified) were then being issued or incurred.
Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

Certain Limitations on Registration Rights In the case of any registration under Section 2.1 involving an underwritten offering, or, in the case of a registration under Section 2.2, if the Company has determined to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith, all securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be subject to such underwriting agreement and no Person may participate in such underwritten offering unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided therein and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, and other documents (including custody agreements and powers of attorney) which must be executed in connection therewith; provided, however, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions hereof and (ii) provides such other information to the Company or the underwriter as may be necessary to register such Person’s securities.
Limitations on Liens (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon any of its or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ properties or assets (a “Lien”), whether owned on the date of issuance of the Notes or thereafter acquired, unless the Notes are at least equally and ratably secured with such secured Indebtedness (together with, if the Company so determines, any other Indebtedness of or guaranty by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created that is not subordinated to the Notes) for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured (and any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and any other debt securities of any series issued pursuant to the Indenture and having the benefit of this Section 2.8 shall provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing such other Indebtedness); provided, however, that the above restrictions shall not apply to the following (the “Permitted Liens”):
