Fundamental Changes; Dispositions (i) Wind-up, liquidate or dissolve, or merge, consolidate or amalgamate with any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do (or agree to do) any of the foregoing; provided, however, that (A) any Loan Party may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated with any Borrower so long as a Borrower is the surviving entity, (B) any Loan Party that is not a Borrower may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated with another Loan Party that is not a Borrower, (C) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Loan Party may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated with any Loan Party so long as a Loan Party is the surviving entity and (D) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party that is not a Loan Party may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party that is not a Loan Party, in each case so long as (I) no other provision of this Agreement would be violated thereby, (II) the Administrative Borrower gives the Agents at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation accompanied by true, correct and complete copies of all material agreements, documents and instruments relating to such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, including, but not limited to, the certificate or certificates of merger or amalgamation to be filed with each appropriate Secretary of State (with a copy as filed promptly after such filing), (III) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either before or after giving effect to such transaction, and (IV) the Lenders’ rights in any Collateral, including, without limitation, the existence, perfection and priority of any Lien thereon, are not adversely affected by such merger, consolidation or amalgamation; and
Distributions; Capital Change; Restricted Investments Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) directly or indirectly declare or make, or incur any liability to make, any Distribution, except Distributions to the Borrower by its Subsidiaries, (ii) make any change in its capital structure which could have a Material Adverse Effect or issue any capital stock other than common stock or (iii) make any Restricted Investment.
Prohibition of Short Sales and Hedging Transactions The Investor agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11, the Investor and its agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.
Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sales The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Affiliate to, make any Asset Sale unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or such Restricted Affiliate, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold or otherwise disposed of and (b) at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of any liabilities (other than Subordinated Indebtedness or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that would not constitute Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that unconditionally releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Affiliate, as the case may be, from further liability shall be treated as cash for purposes of this Section 10.15. The Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may (i) apply the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Asset Sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Restricted Affiliate to the extent distributed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days of the receipt thereof to repay an amount of Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company in an amount not exceeding the Other Senior Debt Pro Rata Share and elect to permanently reduce the amount of the commitments thereunder by the amount of the Indebtedness so repaid, (ii) apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Restricted Affiliate to the extent distributed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to repay any Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness and elect to permanently reduce the commitments thereunder by the amount of the Indebtedness so repaid or (iii) apply the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Restricted Affiliate to the extent distributed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days thereof, to an investment in properties and assets that will be used in a Permitted Business (or in Capital Stock and other securities of any person that will become a Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Affiliate as a result of such investment to the extent such person owns properties and assets that will be used in a Permitted Business) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary ("Replacement Assets"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any Asset Sale of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of any Restricted Affiliate Group, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, the Restricted Affiliate Group shall be required to distribute the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom, after providing for all Indebtedness and other liabilities of such Restricted Affiliate Group, to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the Other Partner on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective equity interests. Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are neither used to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, any Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness as set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence or invested in Replacement Assets within the 365-day period as set forth in clause (iii) shall constitute "Excess Proceeds."

Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock (a) (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock; and (ii) the Company shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided, further, that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not Incur Indebtedness or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) if, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or issuance (including the pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock then outstanding of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) exceeds the greater of $1,250 million and 5.0% of Total Assets (the “Non-Guarantor Exception”).
Reorganization, Reclassification, 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.
Limitation on Asset Dispositions Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless: (i) Parent or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration for such disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value for the Property sold or disposed of as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent in good faith and evidenced by a Board Resolution of Parent filed with the Trustee; and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration for such disposition consists of cash or Cash Equivalents or the assumption of Debt of the Issuer or any Issuer Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt of the Issuer that is subordinated to the Securities or Debt of any Issuer Restricted Subsidiary that is subordinated to the Note Guarantee or Offering Proceeds Note Guarantee of such Issuer Restricted Subsidiary) and release of the Issuer and all Issuer Restricted Subsidiaries from all liability on the Debt assumed (or if less than 75%, the remainder of such consideration consists of Telecommunications/IS Assets); provided, however, that, to the extent such disposition involves Special Assets, all or any portion of the consideration may, at Parent’s election, consist of Property other than cash, Cash Equivalents or the assumption of Debt or Telecommunications/IS Assets. The Net Available Proceeds (or any portion thereof) from Asset Dispositions may be applied by Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt): (1) to the permanent repayment or reduction of Debt then outstanding under any Qualified Credit Facility, to the extent such Qualified Credit Facility would require such application or prohibit payments pursuant to the Offer to Purchase described in the following paragraph (other than Debt owed to Parent or any Affiliate of Parent); or (2) to reinvest in Telecommunications/IS Assets (including by means of an Investment in Telecommunications/IS Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Proceeds received by Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary). Any Net Available Proceeds from an Asset Disposition not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 360 days (or, in the case of a disposition of Special Assets identified in clause (a) of the definition thereof in which the Net Available Proceeds exceed $500,000,000, 540 days) from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Proceeds shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Issuer (or, in the case of Debt of Parent required or permitted to be repurchased by Parent, Parent) will be required to make an Offer to Purchase with such Excess Proceeds on a pro rata basis according to principal amount (or, in the case of Debt issued at a discount, the then-Accreted Value) for (x) Outstanding Securities at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities on the purchase date plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and (y) any other Debt of the Issuer that is pari passu with the Securities, any Debt of a Guarantor that is pari passu with such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee or any Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a subsidiary of the Issuer but not a Guarantor, at a price no greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the purchase date (or 100% of the then-Accreted Value plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the purchase date in the case of original issue discount Debt), to the extent, in the case of this clause (y), required under the terms thereof (other than Debt owed to Parent or any Affiliate of Parent). To the extent there are any remaining Excess Proceeds following the completion of the Offer to Purchase, the Issuer shall apply such Excess Proceeds to the repayment of other Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a subsidiary of the Issuer, to the extent permitted or required under the terms thereof. Any other remaining Excess Proceeds may be applied to any use as determined by Parent which is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. The Issuer, Parent and the Trustee shall perform their respective obligations for the Offer to Purchase as specified in the Offer. Prior to the Purchase Date, the Issuer, or Parent, as applicable, shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer, (ii) irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer, or Parent, as applicable, are acting as their own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) money sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of all Securities or portions thereof so accepted (provided that such deposit may be made no later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the Purchase Date if the Issuer, or Parent, as applicable elect) and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof accepted for payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Security or Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered as requested by the Holder. Any Security not accepted for payment shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, to the Holder thereof. In the event that the aggregate Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, immediately after the Purchase Date. Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer to Purchase is delivered to the Trustee, Issuer or Parent, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Offer, (ii) the allocation of the Net Available Proceeds from the Asset Disposition pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of this Section 1016. In the event that the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, make an Offer to Purchase the Securities, the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, shall comply with any applicable securities laws and regulations, including any applicable requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Issuer Restricted Subsidiary to, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any Property to Parent or any Sister Restricted Subsidiary unless (i) the Issuer or such Issuer Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration for such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such Property (which, in the case of the Offering Proceeds Note or any other intercompany Debt, is the principal amount of the Offering Proceeds Note or such other Debt and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and (ii) the consideration consists of either (A) 100% in cash or Cash Equivalents or (B) Debt of Parent or the Restricted Subsidiary to which Property was transferred that is secured by a Lien on such transferred Property. Parent or the Restricted Subsidiary to which Property was transferred for consideration consisting of Debt that is secured by a Lien on such Property in accordance with clause (ii)(B) of the prior sentence may substitute the Lien on such Property with a Lien on other Property (including any Property owned by the Issuer or an Issuer Restricted Subsidiary) that, as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent in good faith and evidenced by a Board Resolution of Parent filed with the Trustee upon request of the Trustee, has a Fair Market Value of no less than the Fair Market Value of the Property for which the substitution is made at the time of the substitution. Any such Lien may be second in priority to any Lien on such Property in favor of the lenders under a Qualified Credit Facility. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to (a) dividends and distributions (other than any dividend or distribution of the Offering Proceeds Note or any other intercompany Debt), (b) loans or advances and (c) purchases of services or goods.
