For purposes of this definition, the Company's balance sheet does not include assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries.


This restriction also will not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of leases made, or existing on property acquired, in the ordinary course of business.


(xx)    Certain Tax Information.


In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to the Indenture, this Company Order and Officers’ Certificate and the Notes in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Company agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee and any Paying Agent sufficient information about the parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee and any Paying Agent can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law and (ii) that the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee shall not have any liability.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series at the time outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes of such series.
