The SEC Staff agrees that Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 is inapplicable to Pregis Corporation's indenture for its Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes, provided no default exists. This determination applies because the notes are secured by external agreements, decisions regarding collateral maintenance or release are made by first priority lenders rather than the indenture trustee, and the trustee and noteholders lack control over these decisions. Additionally, the collateral securing the notes also secures other senior debt.
