(l) The Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition on the Amendment Effective Date, shall be satisfied with respect to the Company and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded Subsidiaries); provided that, to the extent any security interest in any collateral of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not or cannot be provided or perfected on the Amendment Effective Date (other than a security interest in any collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or by the delivery of certificated equity securities (and related security powers) of the Company and its material, wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries organized in the United States that are part of the collateral (provided, in each case, that such certificated equity securities will be required to be delivered on the Amendment Effective Date only to the extent received from the Company, it being understood that the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such certificated equity securities to be delivered by the Company on the Amendment Effective Date) after use of commercially reasonable efforts by the Borrower to do so without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such collateral shall not constitute a condition hereunder, but instead shall be required to be provided or perfected after the Amendment Effective Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably within 90 days following the Amendment Effective Date (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed between the
6
Administrative Agent and the Borrower). Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to guarantees and collateral to be provided by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries (other than an entity organized in the State of Delaware), if such guarantees and collateral cannot be provided as a condition hereunder solely because the existing directors, members, managers or other governing persons of the Company or such Subsidiaries have not authorized the provision of such guarantees and collateral prior to the funding of the Incremental Term Loans on the Amendment Effective Date and applicable state law does not permit the “escrowing” of authorizations by the future directors or managers that will become effective at a future date, the representations made and legal opinions given with respect to the due authorization of such guarantees and collateral may be qualified subject to receiving ratifying resolutions authorizing such guarantees and collateral and such ratifying resolutions and duly authorized guarantees and collateral shall be provided no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment Effective Date; provided that the failure to provide such guarantees and collateral by such time shall be an immediate event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement.

7
“solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances; provided that the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability;
(b) the Borrower will not (i) knowingly use the proceeds of any borrowings under the Revolving Facility Increase or the Refinancing Revolving Facility, or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person subject to economic sanctions administered or enforced by the United States Government (including without limitation, sanctions enforced by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control) (“Sanctions”) for the purpose of funding the activities of any Person subject to Sanctions in a manner that would result in a violation by such Person of applicable Sanctions, or (ii) use the proceeds of any borrowings incurred under the Revolving Facility Increase or the Refinancing Revolving Facility for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity on behalf of a government, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in each case in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; and
