SECTION 1.01. Amendment to Section 11.02(a)(2). Section 11.02(a)(2) of the Existing Indenture is hereby amended to include the following definition of “Excluded Asset” (as such term is used in the Offering Memorandum):
“Excluded Asset” means:
(a) any lease, license, permit, governmental authorization, contract, property right or agreement if the grant of a Lien thereon (i) gives any other person party thereto (other than the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof) the right to terminate its obligations thereunder, (ii) constitutes or results in the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of the Issuer or any Guarantor therein or (iii) constitutes or result in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, such agreement (other than to the extent rendered ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code);
(b) any property and assets the pledge of which is prohibited by any legal requirement or would require governmental consent, approval, license or authorization (except to the extent ineffective under applicable law);
    2


(c) any property subject to a purchase money Lien or a capital lease not prohibited pursuant to the indenture if the agreement granting such Lien prohibits or requires the consent of any person (other than the Issuer or any Subsidiary) as a condition to the creation of any other Lien thereon, for so long as the applicable indebtedness has not been repaid in full or the applicable prohibition or consent requirement has not been removed or terminated;
(d) real property other than fee-owned real property (other than any improvements or easements, rights-of-way or similar interests that are located on any fee-owned real property and, in the case of any such easements, rights-of-way or similar interests, that are necessary for ingress or egress thereto);
(e) motor vehicles, aircraft, rolling stock and vessels and any other assets subject to certificates of title (other than to the extent that a security interest in such property can be effected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement);
(f) any ‘‘intent-to-use’’ application for registration of a trademark filed pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051, prior to the filing of a ‘‘Statement of Use’’ pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act or an ‘‘Amendment to Allege Use’’ pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Lanham Act with respect thereto, solely to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from such intent-to-use application under applicable federal law;
(g) customary excluded accounts (including de minimis excluded accounts with an average monthly balance of less than $1.0 million individually and $5.0 million in the aggregate);
(h) property located or titled in any non-U.S. jurisdiction (other than to the extent that a security interest in such property can be effected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement);
(i) voting equity interests of any (i) Foreign Subsidiary or (ii) any direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary substantially all of the assets of which consist of the Equity Interests or indebtedness of one or more Foreign Subsidiary that are “controlled foreign corporations” (“CFC”) within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (each under this clause (ii) a “Specified Excluded Subsidiary”), in each case, representing more than 65% of the voting power of all outstanding Equity Interests of such Subsidiary; and
