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").

(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

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.

(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.

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. For purposes of this Section 11, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
