COVENANTS OF THE GUARANTORS

5.1 Limitations on Indebtedness

The Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue, incur, assume or otherwise become liable for or in respect of any Funded Indebtedness unless, after giving effect thereto, the Funded Indebtedness of BIP, calculated on a consolidated basis, would not exceed 75% of Total Consolidated Capitalization.

(a) the Successor shall have executed, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of any such transaction, an assumption of the obligations of the applicable Guarantor under this Agreement, including the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable hereunder, and such other instruments as in the opinion of the Guarantors’ Counsel are necessary or advisable to evidence the agreement of the Successor to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the applicable Guarantor under this Agreement;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

(c) such Guarantor or such Successor shall have delivered to the Trustee or Trustees an opinion of Guarantors’ Counsel (for which the provider of such opinion may rely on an Officer’s Certificate for factual matters), to the effect that such Successor Transaction complies with this Section 5.3 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such Successor Transaction have been complied with.

provided, however, the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be applicable to any transaction between or among any one or more of any Issuer, any Guarantor, an Additional Guarantor and/or any Subsidiary of any of them.

Upon any Successor Transaction in accordance with this Section 5.3, the Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the applicable Guarantor under this Guarantee with the same effect as if such Successor had been named as such Guarantor herein, and in the event of any such conveyance or transfer, such Guarantor (which term shall for this purpose mean the Person named as such “Guarantor” in the first paragraph of this Guarantee or any successor Person which shall theretofore become such in the manner described in this Section 5.3), shall be discharged of all obligations and covenants under this Guarantee and may be dissolved and liquidated.
