     (iii) as a consequence of the occurrence or continuation of any event or
condition (other than the passage of time or the right of the holder of Indebtedness
to convert such Indebtedness into equity interests), (x) the Company or such
Significant Subsidiary has become obligated to purchase or repay Indebtedness under
(1) the Bank Credit Agreement, (2) the 2009 Bank Credit Agreement or (3) any other
