Limitations on Assignment Except as specifically provided in Section 22.02 hereof, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by any of the Parties without the express prior written consent of the ISO Board which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any person to which an assignment or transfer is made shall be required to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of the ISO Board, that it is capable of fulfilling the requirements of this Agreement, and such assignee shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, in connection with such assignment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a written instrument approved by the ISO Board in connection with the consummation of such assignment or transfer, any such assignment or other transfer by a Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not release, or in any way modify, the assigning or transferring party’s liability for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
Restrictions on Assignments (a) No Seller Party may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agents (except a Seller Party may delegate certain administrative duties to an Affiliate, such as payroll, financial reporting, tax and the like, so long as such Seller Party remains liable for performance of such duties). (b) This Agreement and the Purchasers’ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of the Asset Interest) shall be assignable by the Purchasers and their successors and assigns to any Eligible Assignee (including, without limitation, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement). Each assignor of an Asset Interest or any interest therein shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agent of such assignor’s Purchaser Group and the Seller of any such assignment. Each assignor of a Asset Interest or any interest therein may, in connection with any such assignment, disclose to the assignee or potential assignee any information relating to any Seller Party or any Originator, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of such Seller Party or by any Agent; provided that, prior to any the disclosure of any Seller Information, the assignee or potential assignee agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.7 hereof. (c) Each Liquidity Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Liquidity Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any Asset Interest therein owned by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) such Liquidity Bank’s Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agent in such Liquidity Bank’s Purchaser Group, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and (iv) to the extent applicable, concurrently with such assignment, such assignor Liquidity Bank shall assign to such assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under any Liquidity Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.1, (i) any Liquidity Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Earned Discount) under this Agreement or under any Liquidity Agreement to secure obligations of such Liquidity Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller or any Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Liquidity Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or under such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Liquidity Bank as a party hereto or to such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be; and (ii) each Purchaser may assign and grant a security interest in all of its rights in the Transaction Documents, together with all of its rights and interest in the Asset Interest, to secure such Purchaser’s obligations under or in connection with the Commercial Paper Notes, the related Liquidity Agreement, and certain other obligations of such Purchaser incurred in connection with the funding of the Purchases and Reinvestments hereunder, which assignment and grant of a security interest shall not be considered an “assignment” prior to the enforcement of such security interest, for purposes of any provision of this Agreement.
Limitations on Interest It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.
Limitations on Asset Sales The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: (1) the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and (2) at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of clause (2), the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, (b) the amount of any obligations received from such transferee that are within 60 days converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), and (c) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Permitted Business. If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.09. If the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 360 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to: (1) repay any Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability of such revolving credit facility; (2) repay any Indebtedness which was secured by the assets sold in such Asset Sale; and/or (3) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) to be used by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in the Permitted Business. The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an Offer to Purchase from all Holders and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to do so) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer the provisions of which require the Issuer to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows: (1) the Issuer shall (a) make an Offer to Purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders, and (b) redeem (or make an offer to do so) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such other Indebtedness required to be redeemed, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the “Payment Amount”) of such Excess Proceeds; (2) the offer price for the Notes shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), and the redemption price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Indebtedness Price”) shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness; (3) if the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis; and (4) upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero. To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuer shall comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of this compliance.
Limitations on Debt Payments and Amendments (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, prepay, repurchase or redeem or otherwise defease any Restricted Indebtedness; provided, however, that (x) the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase or redeem or otherwise defease Restricted Indebtedness with the Net Cash Proceeds of Permitted Other Indebtedness that is unsecured or secured by a Lien ranking junior to the Lien securing the Obligations incurred in accordance with Section 10.1(bb)(i)(b) and (y) the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase or redeem Restricted Indebtedness (i) in an aggregate amount from the 2014 July Repricing Effective Date, when aggregated with (A) the aggregate amount of dividends paid pursuant to Section 10.6(c) from the Original Closing Date (other than dividends paid pursuant to Section 10.6(c)(x) prior to March 31, 2015) and (B) all loans and advances to any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower made pursuant to Section 10.5(m) (in lieu of dividends permitted by Section 10.6(c)), not in excess of the sum of (1) $400,000,000 plus (2) if the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Senior Secured Leverage Test, both before and after giving effect, on a Pro Forma Basis, to the making of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption, the Applicable Amount at the time of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption; provided the use of such amounts in clauses (1) and (2) shall be subject to no Default or Event of Default having occurred and continuing at the date of such prepayment, repurchase, redemption or other defeasance or resulting therefrom, plus (3) the Applicable Equity Amount at the time of such prepayment, repurchase or redemption; for the avoidance of doubt, dividends paid in reliance on and in compliance with Section 10.6(c) shall not retroactively cause any breach of this Section 10.7(a)(y)(i) in respect of amounts previously prepaid in compliance with this Section 10.7(a)(y)(i); and (ii) with the proceeds of Permitted Additional Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.7 shall restrict (i) any prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance made after the Original Closing Date in connection with the Debt Repayment, (ii) the making of any prepayment of accrued but unpaid interest and/or original issue discount in respect of the Senior Interim PIK Loans and/or the PIK Notes in accordance with the “Optional Interest Repayment” provisions thereof as of the end of any accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of the Original Closing Date or (iii) the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of the PIK Notes with the net proceeds of Additional 2018 New Dollar Term Loans. (b) The Borrower will not waive, amend, modify, terminate or release any Restricted Indebtedness to the extent that any such waiver, amendment, modification, termination or release would be adverse to the Lenders in any material respect. (c) Prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, to the extent any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are issued pursuant to Section 10.1(cc) for the purpose of consummating a Permitted Debt Exchange, (i) the Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, prepay, repurchase, redeem or otherwise defease or acquire any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes unless the Borrower shall concurrently voluntarily prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.1(a) on a pro rata basis among the Class or Classes of Term Loans from which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes were exchanged, in an amount not less than the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes that are proposed to be prepaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or acquired and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Permitted Debt Exchange Notes in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange then outstanding (prior to giving effect to such proposed prepayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition) and (b) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans of the Class or Classes from which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes were exchanged then outstanding and (ii) the Borrower will not waive, amend or modify the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes or any indenture pursuant to which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes have been issued in any manner inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.15(a), 10.1(cc) or the definition of “Permitted Other Indebtedness” or that would result in a Default hereunder if such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes (as so amended or modified) were then being issued or incurred.
