(a) upon the occurrence of a Collateral Release Event;
(b) at such time as such New Guarantor is either (in all cases whether by repayment or otherwise): (A) not an issuer or guarantor of any item of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money and any other Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness and ceases (or substantially concurrently will cease) to be the guarantor of any Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness (or such New Guarantor’s obligations with respect to all Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness shall cease to exist substantially concurrently with such release of its guarantee); or (B) released or relieved as an issuer or guarantor of its obligations of an item of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money and not an issuer or guarantor of any other Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness and ceases (or substantially concurrently will cease) to be the guarantor of any Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness (or such New Guarantor’s obligations with respect to all Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness shall cease to exist substantially concurrently with such release of its guarantee);
(c) upon the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all the assets of or (ii) any Equity Interests of the capital stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable New Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary), of such New Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in a manner not in violation of this Indenture;
(d) at such time such New Guarantor ceases to be guarantee obligations (whether by repayment or otherwise) under the Credit Agreement or any replacement thereof; and
(e) upon the exercise of any legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under this Indenture or if any obligations relating to the Securities are discharged or defeased in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Article 2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Indenture dated July 23, 2015, as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, by and among Charter Communications
5
Operating, LLC, Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. and CCO Safari II, LLC, as issuers, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and collateral agent, mutatis mutandis.
The Trustee agrees to execute a supplemental indenture to evidence the release of any New Guarantor hereunder and any obligations under the Indenture upon the request of the Company in compliance with Section 1.02 of the Indenture; provided that the release shall be effective whether or not such supplemental indenture is executed.
