(1) holds Secured Obligations that are identified as Junior Lien Debt or Priority Lien Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b); and

(2) signs, through its designated Secured Debt Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b), a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee and each other Secured Debt Representative at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.

(b) The Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Secured Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the registered holder of Junior Lien Debt or the registered holder of Priority Lien Debt incurred by the Company or any Guarantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents. The Company may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee and each Secured Debt Representative an Additional Secured Debt Designation stating that:

(1) the Company or such Guarantor intends to incur additional Secured Debt ( Additional Secured Debt ) which will either be (i) Priority Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a Priority Lien Equally and Ratably with all previously existing and future Priority Lien Debt or (ii) Junior Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured with a Junior Lien Equally and Ratably with all previously existing and future Junior Lien Debt;

(3) the Company and each Guarantor has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Security Documents.

Although the Company shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Secured Debt Designation and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Secured Debt Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Secured Debt Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Secured Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Each of the Collateral Trustee and the other then existing Secured Debt Representative shall have the right to request that the Company provide a copy of any legal opinion of counsel (which may be provided by internal counsel to the Company) provided to the holders of Additional Secured Debt or their Secured Debt Representatives as to the Additional Secured Debt being secured by a valid and perfected security interest; provided , however , that such legal opinion or opinions need not address any collateral of a type or located in a jurisdiction not previously covered by any legal opinion delivered by or on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any Guarantor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents.

The Security Documents creating or evidencing the Priority Liens and the Junior Liens and Guarantees for the Priority Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder.
