Section 4.03 Reports and Other Information.
(a) Following consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Initial Registration Rights Agreement, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders of Notes within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:
(i) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports; and
(ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.
The availability of the foregoing materials on the SEC’s XXXXX service (or its successor) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s delivery obligation.
(b) All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants, and each Form 10-Q and 10-K will include a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries. In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.03(a) with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such filing).
(c) In the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Company becomes a Guarantor of the Notes, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that such reporting is accompanied by consolidating information that presents in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information related to the Company, the Note Guarantors and the other Subsidiaries of the Company on a standalone basis on the other hand.
(d) If, at any time after consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Initial Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03 with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept
14
the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03 on a website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.
(e) If, at any time, the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then any “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” or other comparable section, shall provide an analysis and discussion of the material differences with respect to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as compared to the Company and its Subsidiaries (including such Unrestricted Subsidiaries).
(f) In addition, the Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations described under clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) until 30 days after the date on which any report hereunder is due.
(h) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
(xxxii) Clauses (4), (6), (12) and (13) of Section 4.07(b) of the Indenture are hereby amended to read as follows:

(6) the declaration and payment of dividends or making of distributions by the Company to, or the making of loans to, its direct parent company in amounts required for the Company’s direct or indirect parent entities (including a corporation organized to hold interests in the Company in connection with the public issuance of shares) to pay, without duplication as to amounts of:

(4) transactions between the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person in which the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries holds an interest as a joint venture partner and such Person is an Affiliate because of such interest;
