(as such entity may be renamed), to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary, in connection with a contemplated offering of securities by Indigo Finance, Inc.

For the avoidance of doubt, the fees payable under this Section 2.09(e) shall only be due and payable upon the first assumption by a Successor Borrower pursuant to Section 6.03(vii) and shall not be payable in connection with any subsequent assumptions by subsequent Successor Borrowers.
