Permitted Acquisitions (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.14 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default, Event of Default or Compliance Period shall be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed Permitted Acquisition; (iii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (iv) the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as soon as available but not later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition; (v) after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all post-closing purchase price adjustments required (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) in connection with such Permitted Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which such purchase price adjustments may be required to be made) and all capital expenditures (and the financing thereof) reasonably anticipated by the Borrower to be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted Acquisition within the 180-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a “Post-Closing Period”) following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended during the Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), there shall exist no Compliance Period; (vi) such proposed Permitted Acquisition shall be effected in accordance with the relevant requirements of Section 9.17; (vii) the Borrower determines in good faith that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are not likely to assume or become liable for material increased contingent liabilities as a result of such proposed Permitted Acquisition (excluding, however, Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 in connection therewith); (viii) substantially all of the Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to the respective Permitted Acquisition is in a Qualified Jurisdiction, provided, however, the respective proposed Permitted Acquisition shall not be required to meet the requirements set forth above in this clause (viii) if the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with such Permitted Acquisition, when aggregated with the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with all other Permitted Acquisitions consummated after the Initial Borrowing Date in which all or substantially all of the Acquired Entity or Business so acquired were not in Qualified Jurisdictions, does not exceed $300,000,000; and (ix) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date of the consummation of such proposed Permitted Acquisition, an officer’s certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and clauses (v) through (viii), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the preceding clauses (iii) and (viii).
Permitted Acquisition Prior to consummation of a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender complete and correct copies of each document and agreement executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Permitted Acquisition Documents”), including all schedules and exhibits thereto. The Permitted Acquisition Documents shall set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Borrower and the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there will be no other agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered thereby. Borrower shall have the power, and shall have taken all necessary action (including, any necessary member or comparable owner action) to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with their respective terms the Permitted Acquisition Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Permitted Acquisition Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties, enforceable against Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Permitted Acquisition Documents in accordance with their respective terms will not require any governmental approval or any other consent or approval, other than governmental approvals and other consents and approvals that have been obtained. All conditions precedent to the Permitted Acquisition pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall have been fulfilled in all material respects and, as of the date of the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition, the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall not have been amended or otherwise modified and there shall not be any breach by the Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party thereto, of any term or condition of the Permitted Acquisition Documents. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Permitted Acquisition Documents to be consummated at the closing thereunder, the Borrower shall acquire good and legal title to the stock or assets and other property being transferred pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents. None of the foregoing shall in any manner obligate the Borrower or any Subsidiary to consummate any Permitted Acquisition and the foregoing representation shall only apply if, when and to the extent that a Permitted Acquisition is consummated and the Permitted Acquisition Documents are executed and delivered.”
Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries In the event Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary, Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Collateral Agent and each Lender of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Collateral Agent or any Lender to cause each such Subsidiary to become a co-Borrower hereunder or to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and, in each case, grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit A hereto); and Borrower (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) shall grant and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a perfected security interest in the Shares; provided, however, that solely in the circumstance in which Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires a Foreign Subsidiary in an acquisition permitted by Section 7.7 hereof or otherwise approved by the Required Lenders, (i) such Foreign Subsidiary shall not be required to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of such Foreign Subsidiary, and (ii) Borrower shall not be required to grant and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a perfected security interest in more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Shares of such Foreign Subsidiary, if Borrower demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Collateral Agent that such Foreign Subsidiary providing such guarantee or pledge and security interest or Borrower providing a perfected security interest in more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Shares would create a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
Acquisitions Acquire or agree to acquire by merging with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the stock or assets of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets that are material individually or in the aggregate, to its business, taken as a whole;
