Х certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary; and

Х failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary to pay certain final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million within 60 days.

If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, or, in the case of certain events of default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, those amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable.
