56


Continuation of “Bank Credit Note No. [•]”.

 

  (a) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, if any, are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens until such time as the Subordinated Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien; and

 

  (b) in all other cases, the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, if any, are equally and ratably secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Lien;

provided that any Lien which is granted to secure the Loans under this clause XIX will be discharged at the same time as the discharge of the Lien (or the Indebtedness secured by such Lien) that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Loans. Any such Lien thereby created to secure the Loans will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates; or (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Bond Issuers of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Bond Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Bond Issuers in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Bond Issuers creating such Initial Lien, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

For purposes of determining compliance with this clause XIX, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof; and (B) if a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”, the Bond Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (which may be based on circumstances existing at such later time as if incurred at such time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this “Limitation on Liens” covenant and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (or any portion thereof) and in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien will also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness will mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
