(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of Lockheed Xxxxxx or the Company,

SECTION 6.3. OTHER REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, the Guarantee or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
-15-
SECTION 6.4. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.
Subject to Section 9.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.5. CONTROL BY MAJORITY.
Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders not joining in the giving of such direction or may involve the Trustee in personal liability and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes.
SECTION 6.6. LIMITATION ON SUITS.
A Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to the Notes is continuing;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then oustanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, costs, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
-16-
For purposes of this Section 6.6 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making the determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes have concurred in any request or direction to be Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or otherwise under the law.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder.
SECTION 6.7. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.2 hereof, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, the Notes after the due date expressed in the Notes or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
SECTION 6.8. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.
If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.4 the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, and premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
SECTION 6.9. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
-17-
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a member of the creditor’s committee.
SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with respect to the Notes, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection (including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel);
Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, interest, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, respectively; and
Third: to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.
SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not
-18-
apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.”
SECTION 5.5 Amendments to Article VII.
The first sentence of Section 7.3 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, (x) Section 6.1(3) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default and (y) Sections 6.1(4) and 6.1(5) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default to the extent they occur after the 91st day following the occurrence of the Company’s exercise of Covenant Defeasance; provided, however that for all other purposes as set forth herein, such Covenant Defeasance provisions shall be effective.”

Lockheed Xxxxxx hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were the principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and
-20-
unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note, the Original Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note, the Original Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Note or the Trustee, or any other circumstances that otherwise may constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall, without the consent of Lockheed Xxxxxx, increase the principal amount of the Notes or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. Lockheed Xxxxxx hereby agrees that its Guarantee Obligations shall be enforceable without any demand, suit or proceeding first against the Company. Lockheed Xxxxxx hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of a merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to the indebtedness guaranteed hereby and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Indenture or by payment in full of the Guarantee Obligations.

Lockheed Xxxxxx agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article X shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of its Guarantee.
If an Officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
-21-
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

(a) Lockheed Xxxxxx, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee Obligations of Lockheed Xxxxxx pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and Lockheed Xxxxxx hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of Lockheed Xxxxxx under this Article X shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx, result in the Guarantee Obligations of Lockheed Xxxxxx under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by any Guarantor, shall be sufficient if evidenced as described in Section 12.2 hereof as if references therein to the Company were references to such Guarantor.

SECTION 5.9 Amendments to Article XI. Article XI of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“ARTICLE XI
SUBORDINATION
SECTION 11.1 NOTES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR DEBT
The Company, and each Holder by its acceptance of Notes, agree that (a) the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Notes and (b) any other payment in respect of the Notes, including on account of the acquisition or redemption of the Notes by the Company is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XI, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company and that these subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.
-24-
This Article XI shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.
SECTION 11.2 NO PAYMENT ON NOTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES
(a) No payment (by set-off or otherwise) may be made on account of any Obligation in respect of the Notes, including the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (or Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Notes, or on account of the redemption provisions of the Notes (including any repurchases of Notes), for cash or property (other than Junior Securities): (i) upon the maturity of the Company’s Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise, unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and the interest and other amounts on such Senior Debt are first paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents (or such payment is duly provided) or otherwise to the extent holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or Cash Equivalents; or (ii) in the event of default in the payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest or other amounts on the Company’s Senior Debt when such Senior Debt becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise (a “Payment Default”), unless and until such Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.
(b) Upon (i) the happening of an event of default other than a Payment Default that permits the holders of Senior Debt to declare such Senior Debt to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of such event of default given to the Company and the Trustee by (a) the representative under the Credit Agreement or (b) at any time after the Credit Agreement is no longer in full force and effect, the holders of an aggregate of at least $25.0 million principal amount outstanding of any other Senior Debt or their representative (a “Payment Notice”), then, unless and until such event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on the behalf of the Company on account of any Obligation in respect of the Notes (other than payments by Lockheed Xxxxxx pursuant to the Guarantee), including the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, (including any repurchases of any of the Notes), or on account of the redemption provisions of the Notes (or Liquidated Damages), in any such case, other than payments made with Junior Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Senior Debt in respect of which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety within 179 days after the Payment Notice is delivered as set forth above (the “Payment Blockage Period”) (and such declaration has not been rescinded or waived), at the end of the Payment Blockage Period, the Company shall be required to pay all sums not previously paid to the Holders of the Notes during the Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all other payments as and when due on the Notes.
-25-
Any number of Payment Notices may be given; provided, however, that: (i) not more than one Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any 360 consecutive days, and (ii) no non-payment default that existed upon the date of such Payment Notice or the commencement of such Payment Blockage Period (whether or not such event of default is on the same issue of Senior Debt) shall be made the basis for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period (for purposes of this provision, any subsequent action, or any subsequent breach of any financial covenant for a period commencing after the expiration of such Payment Blockage Period that, in either case, would give rise to a new event of default, even though it is an event that would also have been a separate breach pursuant to any provision under which a prior event of default previously existed, shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose).
(c) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 11.1, in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company (other than Junior Securities) shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, to the holders of such Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for or to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay or to provide for the payment of all such Senior Debt in full in cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise to the extent holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or Cash Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
SECTION 11.3 NOTES SUBORDINATED TO PRIOR PAYMENT OF ALL SENIOR DEBT ON DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION OR REORGANIZATION
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of assets or liabilities:
(a) the holders of all of the Company’s Senior Debt will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents (or have such payment duly provided for) or otherwise to the extent holders accept satisfaction of amounts due
-26-
by settlement in other than cash or Cash Equivalents before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment on account of any Obligation in respect of the Notes, including the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (or Liquidated Damages) (other than Junior Securities); and
(b) any payment or distribution of the Company’s assets of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities) to which the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled (by set-off or otherwise), except for the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full (or have such payment duly provided for) on all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
SECTION 11.4 HOLDERS TO BE SUBROGATED TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT
Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company as provided herein, the Holders of Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until all amounts owing on the Notes shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no such payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article XI, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between the Company and the Holders, be deemed to be payment by the Company or on account of such Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article XI are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Debt, on the other hand.
SECTION 11.5 RELATIVE RIGHTS
This Article XI defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company or the obligation of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, when due, principal of, premium, if any, and interest on or (if applicable, Liquidated Damages on) the Notes in accordance with their terms; (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders.
-27-
SECTION 11.6 TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO ASSUME PAYMENTS NOT PROHIBITED IN ABSENCE OF NOTICE
The Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall have received, no later than three Business Days prior to such payment written notice thereof from the Company or from one or more holders of Senior Debt or from any representative therefor and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes, upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XI, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, and the Holders shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XI so long as such court has been apprised of the provisions of, or the order, decree or certificate makes reference to, the provisions of this Article XI.
SECTION 11.7 APPLICATION BY TRUSTEE OF ASSETS DEPOSITED WITH IT
Amounts deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article VIII shall be for the sole benefit of Holders and, to the extent the making of such deposit by the Company shall (i) not be in contravention of any term or provision of the Credit Agreement and (ii) be allocated for the payment of the Notes, shall not be subject to the subordination provisions of this Article XI. Otherwise, any deposit of assets with the Trustee or the Agent (whether or not in trust) for the payment of principal of or interest on any Notes shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4; provided, that, if prior to one Business Day preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any such assets may become distributable for any purpose (including without limitation, the payment of either principal of or interest on any Note) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such assets the written notice provided for in Section 11.6, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such assets and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date.
-28-
SECTION 11.8 SUBORDINATION RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED BY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE COMPANY OR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT
No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Debt to enforce the subordination provisions contained in this Article XI shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Debt may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Debt or any security therefor and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with the Company, all without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Holders. The subordination provisions contained in this Indenture are for the benefit of the holders from time to time of Senior Debt and may not be rescinded, cancelled, amended or modified in any way other than any amendment or modification that is consented to by each holder of Senior Debt that would be adversely affected thereby. The subordination provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Debt upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Company, or otherwise, all as though such payment has not been made.
SECTION 11.9 HOLDERS AUTHORIZE TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION OF NOTES
Each Holder of the Notes by his acceptance thereof authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provisions contained in this Article XI and to protect the rights of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company), the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of his Notes in the form required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved. In the event of any liquidation or reorganization of the Company in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding, if the Holders of the Notes (or the Trustee on their behalf) have not filed any claim, proof of claim, or other instrument of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of the Company in respect of the Notes at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file the same, then in such event, but only in such event, the holders of the Senior Debt or a representative on their behalf may, as an attorney-in-fact for such Holders, file any claim, proof of claim, or other instrument of similar character on behalf of such Holders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
-29-
SECTION 11.10 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO HOLD SENIOR DEBT
The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Article XI in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7.
SECTION 11.11 ARTICLE XI NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (or Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article XI shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 or in any way limit the rights of the Trustee or any Holder to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to the Notes.
