Asset Sale The Company or the Parent shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related transactions, convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of their property, business or assets, including by merger or consolidation (in the case of a Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), and including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary, whether by the Company or the Parent or one of their respective Subsidiaries or through the issuance, sale or transfer of Equity Interests by one of their respective Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries and including any sale and leaseback transaction (any of the foregoing, an "Asset Sale"), unless: (1) at least 75% of the total consideration for such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, that with respect to the sale of one or more hotel properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such hotel properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the hotel property or properties sold; (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Asset Sale; and (3) the Parent and the Company determine in good faith that the consideration received by the Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, equals the fair market value for such Asset Sale. In the event and to the extent that immediately following any Asset Sale the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries from such Asset Sale, plus the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Asset Sale(s) which occurred (i) on or after the Issue Date and (ii) within the 360-day period proceeding such Asset Sale, exceed 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Indenture provides that within 360 days following such Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the "Asset Sale Amount") shall be: (1) invested in assets and property (except in connection with the acquisition of a Subsidiary which is a Guarantor in a Related Business, other than notes, bonds, obligation and securities) which shall immediately constitute or be a part of a Related Business of the Company or the Parent or such Subsidiary (if it continues to be a Subsidiary) immediately following such transaction, or (2) used to retire Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement and to permanently reduce the amount of such Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.7(b) of the Indenture. Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or the Parent may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The accumulated Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied as set forth above shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 30 days after the date that the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, which date shall not be prior to 390 days after the Asset Sale that generated such Excess Proceeds, the Company shall apply an amount (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") equal to the Excess Proceeds to the repurchase of the Notes and such other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes and with provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) (pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) of the Notes and such other Indebtedness then outstanding) (the "Asset Sale Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) (the "Asset Sale Offer Price") together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of payment. Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement (the "Asset Sale Offer Period").
Asset Dispositions Make any Asset Disposition, except:
(a) the sale of obsolete, worn-out or surplus assets no longer used or usable in the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(i) non-exclusive licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business not interfering, individually or in the aggregate, in any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) exclusive licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights and other Asset Dispositions with respect to intellectual property granted or made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (iii) exclusive licenses and sublicenses, assignments of intellectual property rights and other Asset Dispositions with respect to intellectual property granted or made in the exercise of the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment, where such exclusive license, assignment or other Asset Disposition is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses of real or personal property granted by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to others in the ordinary course of business not interfering in any material respect with the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(d) Asset Dispositions in connection with Insurance and Condemnation Events; provided that the requirements of Section 4.4(b) are complied with in connection therewith;
(e) Assets Dispositions in connection with transactions expressly permitted by Section 9.4;
(f) Asset Dispositions not otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section; provided that (i) at the time of such Asset Disposition, no Event of Default shall exist or would result from such Asset Disposition and (ii) such Asset Disposition is made for Fair Market Value and the consideration received shall not be less than 75% in cash or Cash Equivalents; and
(g) Asset Dispositions of accounts receivable transferred as part of a Permitted A/R Financing.
Dispositions of Assets Until the first day after the Restriction Period, none of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group shall sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 60 percent of the gross assets of SpinCo, nor shall SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 60 percent of the consolidated gross assets of the SpinCo Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of SpinCo or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(v), a merger of SpinCo or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of SpinCo or such Subsidiary.
Asset Sales The Parent Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any asset, including any Equity Interest owned by it, nor will the Parent Borrower permit any of the Subsidiaries to issue any additional Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, except:
(a) sales of inventory, used or surplus equipment and Permitted Investments in the ordinary course of business;
(b) sales, transfers and dispositions to the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary, provided that any such sales, transfers or dispositions involving a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party shall be made in compliance with Section 6.09;
(c) sale and leaseback transactions permitted by Section 6.06;
(d) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets (other than Equity Interests in a Subsidiary) that are not permitted by any other clause of this Section, provided that the aggregate fair market value of all assets sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in reliance upon this clause (c) shall not exceed $25,000,000 during any fiscal year of the Parent Borrower or $50,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement;
(e) licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights, granted in the ordinary course of business and not interfering individually or in the aggregate in any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries; and
(f) trade-ins, trade-ups and other similar exchanges of equipment of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries for other equipment to be used in the business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries made in the ordinary course of business; provided that all sales, transfers, leases and other dispositions permitted hereby (other than those permitted by clause (b) above) shall be made for fair value and (other than those permitted by clause (b) or (f) above) for consideration at least 85% of which is cash.
Sales, Etc. of Assets Sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Borrower to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any assets, or grant any option or other right to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any assets, except (i) sales in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) dispositions of assets required to be sold to comply with Applicable Laws, (iii) dispositions of short-term, readily marketable investments purchased for cash management purposes with funds not representing the proceeds of other asset sales, (iv) sales, leases, transfers or dispositions of assets to any Person that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower that in the aggregate during any 12-month period do not exceed 10% of the Consolidated Assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, provided that any such sales, leases, transfers or dispositions will be disregarded for purposes of such 10% limitation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to be permitted hereunder) if the net proceeds thereof, within 18 months of such sale, lease, transfer or disposition, as applicable, are (A) used to retire Debt of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than Debt that is subordinated to the Debt hereunder) or (B) invested in assets in similar or related lines of business (including geographic extensions thereof) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, (v) sales, leases, transfers and dispositions made to the Borrower or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower and (vi) a disposition by the Borrower of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person so long as the requirements set forth in Section 5.02(b) are satisfied as if such disposition were a merger or consolidation in which the Borrower is not the surviving entity.
Sales of Assets The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Dispose of any substantial part (as defined below) of the assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Dispose of assets constituting a substantial part of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries if such assets are sold for Fair Market Value and, at such time and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an amount equal to the net proceeds received from such Disposition (but only with respect to that portion of such assets that exceeds the definition of “substantial part” set forth below) shall be used within 365 days of such Disposition, in any combination:
(a) to acquire productive assets used or useful in carrying on the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such assets Disposed of; and/or
(b) to prepay or retire Senior Indebtedness of the Company and/or a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, provided that in the course of making such application the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in accordance with Section 8.6 in a principal amount which equals the Ratable Portion for such Note. Once the Company has made the offer to the holders of Notes described in the preceding proviso with respect to any Disposition, (1) the Company shall have no further obligations to any holder of Notes that has rejected or is deemed to have rejected such offer with respect to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the proceeds of such Disposition (the “Unapplied Proceeds”) and (2) the Company shall be permitted to retain and use the Unapplied Proceeds from such Disposition in any manner, free of the requirements of this Section 10.5. As used in this Section 10.5, a Disposition of assets shall be deemed to be a “substantial part” of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries if the book value of such assets, when added to the book value of all other assets Disposed of by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the date of such Disposition, exceeds 10% of the book value of Consolidated Total Assets; provided that there shall be excluded from any determination of a “substantial part” (1) any Disposition of assets in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (2) any Disposition of assets from the Company to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or from any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and (3) any sale of property acquired or constructed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement to any Person within 365 days following the acquisition or completion of construction of such property by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall concurrently with such sale, lease such property, as lessee.
Asset Disposition If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Financing Subsidiary) Disposes of any property which results in the receipt by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate since the applicable Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of such Loans owed to such Lender or Lenders equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds no later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in Section 2.09(b)).
