Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than a Guarantor or the Issuer, to guarantee the payment of any First Lien Obligations, including any Indebtedness (or any interest on such Indebtedness) under the Senior Credit Facilities, the NXP Notes and the Existing Secured Notes unless: (1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; (2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against any Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Person under its Guarantee or otherwise; and (3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: (A) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and (B) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity.
Limitation on Additional Indebtedness The Issuer acknowledges that the Borrower has incurred the Senior Debt which is prior as to payment and security to the payment of the Loan and all amounts payable hereunder by the Borrower. The Borrower may incur additional Long Term Debt on a parity with or prior to the Loan as to payment and security (“Additional Parity Indebtedness”) for any business purpose subject to the following conditions: DRAFT (i) Prior to incurring such Additional Parity Indebtedness, the Borrower must deliver to the Issuer a written certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower stating (A) that the net Revenues Available for Debt Service of the Borrower for each of the last 2 Fiscal Years preceding the date on which the proposed long Term Debt is to be incurred were at least 100% of the Principal and Interest Requirements on all then- existing Long Term Debt for such Fiscal Years, and (B) that the projected Net Revenues Available for Debt Service of the Borrower for each Fiscal Year beginning after the Fiscal Year in which the proposed Long Term Debt is to be incurred, but before the final stated maturity of the Bonds, will not be less than 100% of the Principal and Interest Requirements on all Long Term Debt (including such requirements for the proposed Long Term Debt but excluding such requirements for any then outstanding Long Term Debt to be refinanced by the proposed Long Term Debt) for such Fiscal Year. (ii) This Loan Agreement shall be in effect and no Event of Default shall exist hereunder. (iii) The Additional Parity Indebtedness shall not cause impairment of the security given to the Issuer by the Collateral Account Security Agreement and Account Control Agreement.
