Service Suspension 8.1 By giving reasonable notice to you, or if this is not practicable, such notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, we may suspend the Service (or any part of the Service) for reasons to include but not limited to:
8.1.1 for operational reasons in accordance with the service levels, or
8.1.2 if required because of a regulatory or legal change, or
8.1.3 if we are obliged to comply with the order, instruction, or request of a court, government, agency, emergency service organisation, or other competent administrative or regulatory authority, requiring suspension to the Service, or
8.1.4 if your use of the Service may damage or disrupt the proper functioning of the infrastructure and / or equipment used to provide services to our other Customers, or
8.1.5 if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are in breach of your obligations, and you either fail to remedy that breach or fail to demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction that no breach took place within two (2) Working Days of written notice of the suspected breach for a serious breach (serious breach to include, but not limited to, a breach likely to cause serious damage to us or our brand, or that of our contractors, or result in legal action by a third party) or within ten (10) Working Days of written notice of the suspected breach for other breach, or
8.1.6 if an undisputed invoice (or an undisputed part of an invoice) is not paid in full by the due date, provided that we have given you at least five (5) Working Days’ notice of such non- payment.
8.2 Suspension of the Service shall cause our service level obligations to be excluded for the period of the suspension. Such suspension of the Service shall continue for as long as any of the circumstances in Clauses 8 continues.
Covenant Suspension During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade ratings from at least two (2) Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”), the covenants specifically listed in Section 4.12, Section 4.13 , Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 4.17 will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”), provided, however, that in no event with the covenant referenced in Section 4.15 cease to be applicable before January 1, 2030. In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade rating from any two (2) Rating Agencies, then the Company and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or events occurring during a Suspension Period covered by the Suspended Covenants will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that:
(1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after the applicable Reversion Date, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though the covenant described under Section 4.12 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period;
(2) on the Reversion Date, any Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.13 or one of the clauses set forth in items (a) through (n) under Section 4.13 (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date), and to the extent such Indebtedness would not be permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.13, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (2) of Section 4.13; and
(3) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under Section 4.15. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any agreement or commitment entered into during the relevant Suspension Period, so long as such agreement or commitment and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a covenant suspension and in any event not later than five Business Days after the occurrence of such covenant suspension. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade ratings. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or notify Holders of the same.

If the complaining Party has disagreement, it may refer the matter to the original Panel within 60 days after receipt of such written notice. Otherwise, the complaining Party shall promptly stop the suspension of benefits.
