Section 2.12 Appointment of Sub-Collateral Agent; sub-agent for MCC as Lienholder.

It is the purpose of this Agreement that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to act as a collateral agent in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Collateral Agent or MCC as Lienholder deems it necessary to appoint a sub-collateral agent or deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as the case may be) or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as the case may be) appoint an individual or institution as a separate or sub-collateral agent. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends.

(a) In the event that the Collateral Agent or MCC as Lienholder appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or sub-collateral agent, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Agreement to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent or MCC as Lienholder (as the case may be) with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or sub-collateral agent, but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or sub-collateral agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Collateral Agent or MCC as Lienholder (as the case may be) by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or sub-collateral agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Benefited Parties or the Obligors be required by the separate or sub-collateral agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent or by MCC as Lienholder for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Benefited Parties or the Obligors (as the case may be); provided, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Benefited Parties or the Obligors (as the case may be) do not execute any such

-15-

instrument within fifteen (15) days after request therefor, the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as the case may be) and the sub-collateral agent shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Benefited Parties and the Obligors to execute any such instrument in the Benefited Parties’ and Obligors’ names and stead. The Benefited Parties shall cause the Collateral Agent to appoint those sub-collateral agents listed on Schedule 5 with respect to the Liens in the Collateral in those jurisdictions listed on Schedule 5. A sub-collateral agent may resign upon 45 days’ written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and may be removed by giving upon 45 days’ written notice at any time with or without cause by the Collateral Agent. Prior to the effectiveness of any such resignation or removal, each of the Collateral Agent and MCC shall have the right to appoint a successor sub-collateral agent which such successor sub-collateral agent may, at the sole election of MCC, be MCC. If such successor sub-collateral agent is not MCC, then such successor sub-collateral agent shall be a bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of the respective country of where the sub-collateral agent is acting having combined capital and surplus of at least US$50,000,000 or a foreign equivalent thereof. If in respect of the resignation of the sub-collateral agent no successor sub-collateral agent shall have been so appointed by the Collateral Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring sub-collateral agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring sub-collateral agent shall, prior to the effectiveness of its resignation, on behalf of the Collateral Agent, (i) appoint a successor sub-collateral agent or (ii) petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor’s sub-collateral agent, which in either case shall be a bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of the country where the sub-collateral agent is acting having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$50,000,000 or a foreign equivalent thereof. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as sub-collateral agent hereunder by a successor sub-collateral agent, such successor sub-collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring sub-collateral agent, and the retiring sub-collateral agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring sub-collateral agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as sub-collateral agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was sub-collateral agent under this Agreement and the respective Collateral Documents. Any corporation into which the sub-collateral agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the sub-collateral agent shall be a party, shall be sub-collateral agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

(c) Every separate collateral agent and sub-collateral agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:


	(i) all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as applicable) shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by such separate collateral agent or sub-collateral agent; and


	(ii) No collateral agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other collateral agent hereunder.

(d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as applicable) shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then

-16-

separate collateral agents and sub-collateral agents, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate collateral agent or sub-collateral agent shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section 2.12.

Section 2.13 Limitation on Duties of Collateral Agent and MCC as Lienholder in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor MCC as Lienholder shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor MCC as Lienholder shall be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as the case may be) in good faith.

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor MCC as Lienholder shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent (or MCC as Lienholder, as the case may be), for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Obligors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

Section 4.3 Certain Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement prohibiting payment or distribution, if any of the Benefited Parties shall have received any payment or distribution or consideration in respect of the Benefited Obligations contrary to the provisions hereof from NII or any other Obligor, or on their behalf, then and in such event such payment or distribution or consideration shall be received and held in trust for the Collateral Agent and shall be paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent for application to or as collateral for the payment or prepayment of all Benefited Obligations and shall be applied in order of priority as set forth in Section 4.2.

Each Benefited Party agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Obligors, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code (or other applicable statute under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction) or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Benefited Party under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any EFA Obligations, MEFA Obligations or NII Senior Notes Obligations (as applicable) either while an Event of Default exists or in violation of the terms of the New MEFA, the New EFA or the New Senior Notes Indenture, such payment shall be deemed to be received in trust for the benefit of the Benefited Parties and such payment shall be promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof.

Section 4.4 Application of Proceeds by Benefited Parties. The distribution provisions of Section 4.2 are for the purpose of determining the relative amounts to be distributed to the Benefited Parties and not for the purpose of determining the final manner in which any amount distributed to each Benefited Party are actually to be applied to pay the Benefited Obligations

-23-

owing to such Benefited Party, which application shall be made as provided in accordance with the NII Senior Notes Documents, or the MEFA Documents, or EFA Documents, as applicable, to which such Benefited Party is a party.

SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL GUARANTIES OR LIENS; PROCEEDINGS.

Section 5.1 Additional Guaranties or Liens. No Benefited Party shall obtain from any Person a guaranty in support of the Benefited Obligations owing to such Benefited Party, nor shall any Benefited Party obtain a Lien on any additional collateral securing the Benefited Obligations owing to such Benefited Party, unless either (i) such Person concurrently executes and delivers to all other Benefited Parties similar guaranties and/or security agreements in support of the Benefited Obligations owing to such other Benefited Parties or (ii) the Benefited Party(ies) which do not receive such guaranty and/or security agreement has either (a) agreed to waive its right to receive such guaranty and/or security agreement or (b) declined to be the beneficiary of such guaranty and/or security agreement.

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution, protection, relief, reorganization or other winding up of any Obligor or its respective properties (whether voluntary or involuntary), the proceeds from such proceeding shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof, and the Benefited Parties irrevocably authorize, empower and direct all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries, and the Benefited Parties also irrevocably authorize, empower and direct the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or MCC as Lienholder, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution; and the Benefited Parties each agree to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or MCC as Lienholder, or its representative all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause. The Benefited Parties each agree to prepare, execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the MEFA Obligations, EFA Obligations or NII Senior Notes Obligations requested by the Collateral Agent or MCC as Lienholder, in connection with any such proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorize, empower and appoint the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or MCC as Lienholder, its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver and file (but not to vote) such proofs of claim upon the failure of the Benefited Parties to do so prior to 15 days before the expiration of time to file any such proof of claim; provided the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or MCC as Lienholder, shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver and/or file any such proof of claim. The MEFA Obligations, EFA Obligations, and the NII Senior Notes Obligations shall continue to be treated as MEFA Obligations, EFA Obligations, and NII Senior Notes Obligations, and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of MCC and the NII Indenture Trustee even if all or part of the MEFA Obligations, EFA Obligations or the NII Senior Notes Obligations or the security interests securing the MEFA Obligations, EFA Obligations or NII Senior Notes Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such proceeding and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the MEFA Obligations or EFA Obligations or NII Senior Notes Obligations are rescinded or must otherwise be returned by MCC or the NII Indenture Trustee or any holder of the NII Senior Notes.

in any such proceeding as a result of any such claims shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and disbursed in accordance with Section 4.2.
