(1) the Company is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made, is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); provided that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation;

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists;
(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,
(A) the Successor Company or the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Test, or
(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company would be greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company immediately prior to such transaction;
(5) each Guarantor, unless it is a Subsidiary Guarantor that is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (1) of Section 5.01(b) hereof shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents; and
(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture.

(1) the Company may merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby; and
(2) Holdings may consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into the Company; provided that if the Company has a new direct holding company parent following such consolidation, amalgamation or consolidation that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities, such parent company will, within 30 days of such guarantee, become a guarantor of the Notes on the same terms as Holdings.

(i) Dispositions involving the sale of inventory or investments in the ordinary course of business or the lease or license of goods or intellectual property in the ordinary course of business;
(ii) any Disposition of assets (including without limitation intellectual property) in the ordinary course of business which are no longer necessary or required in the conduct of such Loan Party’s or such Unregulated Subsidiary’s business;
(iii) Dispositions (a) by a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to a Loan Party, (b) among Loan Parties, or (c) among Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties;

Sale of Assets The Company or the Bank sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets.
Merger or Sale of Assets In the event that the Company shall effect (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person in which those holding more than 50% of the voting power of the Company prior to the consolidation or merger no longer hold more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to any other person, in such a way that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness or other property with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event and as a condition precedent to the consummation thereof, the Company or such other person as is formed by or survives such consolidation or merger or acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, a new Warrant (in form and substance approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Warrant shall remain outstanding, to exercise such Warrant into the kind and amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property as the Holder would have received had the Holder been the record owner, at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, of that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition. If the holders of the Common Stock may elect from choices the kind and/or amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, then, for purposes of this Section 3(d), the kind and amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property receivable by the Holder upon exercise of such new Warrant shall be specified by the Holder, which specification shall be made by the Holder by the later of (I) ten (10) business days after the Holder is provided with a final version of all material information concerning such choice as is provided to the holders of Common Stock, or (II) the last time at which the holders of Common Stock are permitted to make their specifications known to the Company; provided, however, that if the Holder fails to make any specification within such time period, the Holder's choice shall be deemed to be whatever choice is made by a plurality of the holders of Common Stock not affiliated with the Company or, in the case of a consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, the other parties thereto. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that, for events subsequent to the effective date of such new Warrant, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers or asset acquisitions.
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.
Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (c), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (i) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (ii) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (A) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (B) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (D) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (c)(ii)(C). For purposes of this subsection (c), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (x) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (y) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
Disposition of Assets No Loan Party shall, and no Loan Party shall suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of (whether in one or a series of transactions) any Property (including the Stock of any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, whether in a public or a private offering or otherwise, and accounts and notes receivable, with or without recourse) or enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing (except subject to compliance with, or termination of, this Agreement), except:
(a) dispositions of inventory, or used, worn-out or surplus equipment or defaulted receivables for collection, all in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(b) dispositions not otherwise permitted hereunder which are made for fair market value (excluding Accounts, Inventory and notes receivable); provided, that (i) at the time of any disposition, no Event of Default shall exist or shall result from such disposition, (ii) not less than 75% of the aggregate sales price from such disposition shall be paid in cash, (iii) such dispositions are made for fair market value, (iv) the requirements of Section 2.05(b)(ii), to the extent applicable, are complied with in connection therewith, provided that, all Net Cash Proceeds received from dispositions in any Fiscal Year under this clause (b) in an aggregate amount in excess of $7,500,000 per annum shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of the Term Credit Agreement or, if applicable, Second Lien Credit Agreement, and (v) after giving effect to such disposition, the Loan Parties are in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenant set forth in Section 7.19, recomputed for the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered;
(c) dispositions of Cash Equivalents;
(d) licenses, sublicenses, leases or subleases granted to third parties in the Ordinary Course of Business not interfering with the business of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries;
(e) dispositions constituting an Investment or Restricted Payment permitted under this Agreement;
(f) dispositions in connection with an Event of Loss; provided that the requirements of Section 2.05(b) and Section 2.03(b) of the Term Credit Agreement are complied with in connection therewith;
(g) dispositions of the assets of any Non-Material Subsidiary;
(h) sale-leasebacks of real estate, machinery and equipment with a value not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate;
(i) termination of a lease that is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect and does not result from a default by a Loan Party; and
(j) any disposition described in the Structure Memorandum.
