Except as set forth in this Section 4.11, the Company and the Guarantors shall not, and neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall permit any of our Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, issue, assume, guarantee, incur, become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (including as a result of an Acquisition), or otherwise become responsible for, contingently or otherwise (individually and collectively, to incur or, as appropriate, an incurrence), any Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock and Acquired Indebtedness), other than Permitted Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if:
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect on a pro forma basis to, such incurrence of such Indebtedness, and
(2) on the date of such incurrence (the Incurrence Date), the Companys Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Reference Period immediately preceding the Incurrence Date, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such incurrence of such Indebtedness and, to the extent set forth in the definition of Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the use of proceeds thereof, would be at least 2.0 to 1.0 (the Debt Incurrence Ratio), then the Company and the Guarantors may incur such Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock).
In addition, the foregoing limitations of the first paragraph of this Section 4.11 will not prohibit:
(a) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Companys incurrence following the Amendment Date or the incurrence by any Guarantor of Indebtedness in an aggregate amount incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to this paragraph (a) (plus any Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to retire, defease, refinance, replace or refund such Indebtedness) of up to the greater of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) 2.25% of Consolidated Tangible Assets; and
(b) the Companys incurrence or the incurrence by any Guarantor of Indebtedness pursuant to the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount incurred and outstanding at any time pursuant to this paragraph (b) (plus any Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to retire, defease, refinance, replace or refund such Indebtedness) of up to $20,000,000, minus the amount of any such Indebtedness (1) retired with the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Event of Loss applied to permanently reduce the outstanding amounts or the commitments with respect to such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.13 or (2) assumed by a transferee in an Asset Sale.
Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock) of any Person which is outstanding at the time such Person becomes one of the Companys Subsidiaries (including upon designation of any Person as a Subsidiary) or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or one of the Companys Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been incurred at the time such Person becomes or is designated one of the Companys Subsidiaries or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or one of the Companys Subsidiaries as applicable.

Upon each incurrence of Indebtedness, (i) the Company may designate pursuant to which provision of this Section 4.11 such Indebtedness is being incurred, (ii) the Company may subdivide an amount of Indebtedness and designate more than one provision pursuant to which such amount of Indebtedness is being incurred and (iii) such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been incurred or outstanding under any other provision of this covenant, except that all Indebtedness initially outstanding under the Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness.
The Company and the Guarantors shall not, and neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or suffer to exist any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to any of the Companys Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is as contractually subordinated to the Notes and such Guarantors Guarantee, as applicable, at least to the same extent as it is to such other Indebtedness.

(5) the Company may and its Subsidiaries may settle, release or surrender tort or other litigation claims in the ordinary course of business or grant Liens not prohibited by this Indenture; and
