(2) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.
For purposes of this Section 6.1, Debt shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Furthermore, nothing in the covenants described under this Section 6.1 shall prevent the incurrence by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of Debt between or among the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 6.2 Existence.
Except as permitted below, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights, both charter and statutory, and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Guarantor determines that the preservation of the right or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business and that the loss of the right or franchise is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 6.3 Merger, Consolidation or Sale.
The Company and the Guarantor may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our respective assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity, provided that the following conditions are met:
(a) the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets shall be an entity organized and existing under U.S. laws and expressly assume payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on, all of the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in the Indenture;
(b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(c) an Officer’s Certificate covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.
In the case of any such consolidation, sale, conveyance or merger, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from their respective obligations under the Indenture.
