Each Lender’s US Term Loan Commitment, Euro Term Loan Commitment and Asset Sale Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s US Term Loan Commitment, Euro Term Loan Commitment and/or Asset Sale Loan Commitment on such date.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Subject to Section 2.22, the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1.0 million (or €1.0 million for Euro Term Loans) and not less than $5.0 million (or €5.0 million for Euro Term Loans) (except with respect to the Incremental Facilities which shall be in an amount no less than $50.0 million) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date in accordance with clause (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Closing Date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings made on the Closing Date, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the Closing Date), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any conflict between such accounts and the Register, the Register shall govern.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents, for their own respective accounts, such fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Agent Fees”).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of each US Term Loan Lender on the Closing Date, an upfront fee equal to *CONFIDENTIAL* of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s US Term Loans funded on the Closing Date, as a deduction from the proceeds to the Borrower of such US Term Loans, (ii) for the account of each Euro Term Loan Lender on the Closing Date, an upfront fee equal to *CONFIDENTIAL* of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Euro Term Loans funded on the Closing Date, as a deduction from the proceeds to the Borrower of such Euro Term Loans, and (iii) for the account of each Asset Sale Loan Lender on the Closing Date, an upfront fee equal to *CONFIDENTIAL* of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Asset Sale Loans funded on the Closing Date, as a deduction from the proceeds to the Borrower of such Asset Sale Loans (such upfront fees described in this clause (b), collectively, the “Upfront Fees”).

(c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or such other applicable Agent (in the case of the Administrative Agent, for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders). Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable or creditable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and on the applicable maturity date of such Loan. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of any period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by the actual number of days in such other period of time.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If (a) the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, or (b) if any Event of Default under Section 8.01(g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or any Guarantor, then, in the

case of clause (a) above, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full or, in the case of clause (b) above, for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all past due amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, fax or electronic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing or (b) with respect to outstanding Euro Term Loans, if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so require, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than 30 days in order to agree on a mutually acceptable substitute basis for calculating the interest payable on the Euro Term Loans and, (i) if a substitute basis is agreed within that period between the Administrative Agent (with the consent of all the Lenders holding such Euro Term Loans) and the Borrower, then it shall apply in accordance with its terms (and may be retrospective to the beginning of the relevant Interest Period) and (ii) unless and until a substitute basis is so agreed, the interest payable to such Lenders on the applicable Euro Term Loans for the relevant Interest Period will be the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by that Lender to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans and, if applicable, Mandatory Costs. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of a Euro Term Loan) into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a US Term Loan Repayment Date or a Euro Term Loan Repayment Date, as applicable, occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings consisting of Term Loans with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such US Term Loan Repayment Date or Euro Term Loan Repayment Date, as applicable, and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings consisting of Term Loans would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such US Term Loan Repayment Date or Euro Term Loan Repayment Date, as applicable; and

(viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (A) no outstanding Loan (other than a Euro Term Loan) may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan and (B) no outstanding Euro Term Loans may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period in excess of one month.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (a) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (b) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (c) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (d) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), (a) in the case of Euro Term Loans, be continued as a Eurodollar Loan with an interest period of one month and (b) in the case of any other Term Loan, automatically be continued as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11. Amortization of Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the US Term Loan Lenders, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning with March 31, 2013, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day (each such date, a “US Term Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the US Term Loans equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of such US Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Euro Term Loan Lenders, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning with March 31, 2013, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day (each such date, a “Euro Term Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Euro Term Loans equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of such Euro Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(c) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans and Asset Sale Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date or the Asset Sale Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or

fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that, unless such prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Loans of an applicable Class, each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million.

(b) Voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be applied to US Term Loans, Euro Term Loans and/or Asset Sale Loans in the manner directed by the Borrower.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that if such prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Loans, then the Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five Business Days; provided, further, that the provisions of Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 and to the payment of any applicable premiums pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) below, but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) In the event that on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) all or any portion of the Asset Sale Loans are repaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced for any reason (or repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment (in each case, in connection with any waiver, consent or amendment to the this Agreement)) other than as a result of a prepayment required under Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) or (ii) a Lender must assign all or any portion of its Asset Sale Loans as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement that would have the effect of reducing the total yield then in effect for Asset Sale Loans, then in each case, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement, repricing or mandatory assignment will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced, repriced or assigned.

(e) In the event that on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans are repaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced for any reason (or repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment (in each case, in connection with any waiver, consent or amendment to the this Agreement)) other than as a result of a prepayment required under Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) or (ii) a Lender must assign all or any portion of its Term Loans as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement that would have the effect of reducing the total yield then in effect for Term Loans, then in each case, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement, repricing or mandatory assignment (I) occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date will be made at 102.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced, repriced or assigned or (II) occurring after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced, repriced or assigned.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Net Proceeds of Assets Sales (and proceeds from, or otherwise generated in connection with, the monetization of proceeds from a Patent Monetization Program) shall be applied to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d)(i) or (d)(ii), as applicable, as and when required by Section 6.04.

(b) No later than five Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended minus (B) voluntary prepayments of Loans under Section 2.12 during such fiscal year to the extent not funded with Indebtedness and only to the extent that the Indebtedness so prepaid by its terms cannot be reborrowed or redrawn and such prepayments do not occur in connection with a refinancing of all or any portion of such Indebtedness; provided that if, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal year of Parent, the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(iii) calculating the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be (x) 2.25:1.00 or less, the Borrower shall only be required to make the prepayments otherwise required under this clause (b) for such fiscal year in an amount equal to (1) 25% of such Excess Cash Flow minus (2) voluntary prepayments of Loans under Section 2.12 during such fiscal year to the extent not funded with Indebtedness and only to the extent that the Indebtedness so prepaid by its terms cannot be reborrowed or redrawn and such prepayments do not occur in connection with a refinancing of all or any portion of such Indebtedness, or (y) 1.50:1.00 or less, the Borrower shall not be required to make any such prepayments otherwise required under this clause (b) for such fiscal year.

(c) No later than five Business Days after the date of receipt by the Borrower, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.03), the Borrower or Parent shall apply (or cause to be applied) 100% of the Net Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d)(i).

(d) (i) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement (other than any such prepayments with Net Proceeds of Asset Sales, but including prepayments with Net Proceeds of Asset Sales constituting casualties or condemnations) shall be applied pro rata among the US Term Loans, the Euro Term Loans and the Asset Sale Loans, and further applied on a pro rata basis to scheduled amortization payments thereof in direct order of maturity to the next eight scheduled amortization payments thereof and then pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments thereof, and (ii) mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement with Net Proceeds of Asset Sales (other than any such prepayments with Net Proceeds of Asset Sales constituting casualties or condemnations) shall be applied, first, to the Asset Sale Loans and, second, pro rata to the US Term Loans and the Euro Term Loans.

(e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and

(ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Sections 2.12(d), 2.12(e) and 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(f) No prepayment shall be required to be made by a German Loan Party under Sections 2.13(a) and (b) if and to the extent and only as long as it is unlawful for the relevant German Loan Party (including, without limitation, by reason of financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming cash intra-group and the fiduciary duties of the directors of any German Loan Party (including, without limitation, statutory duties relating to German capital maintenance (Kapitalerhaltung / Einlagenrückgewähr)):

(i) to make the respective prepayment; and

(ii) to make funds available to any other Loan Party for the purpose of such other Loan Party making a prepayment hereunder; provided that at a times the Loans Parties shall (and shall cause the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries to):

(A) use other cash resources available to other Loan Parties which cash resources are not subject to such restrictions or obstacles, to the extent that to do so would not give rise to any issues referred to in Sections 2.13(f)(i) and (ii); and

(B) use reasonable best efforts to overcome any restrictions and obstacles preventing the relevant German Loan Party to make the prepayment required as soon as possible.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender therein or shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Tax (other than any Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified Taxes that are covered by Section 2.20) with respect to the Loans, the Commitments or other obligations, deposits, reserves or other capital or liability relating thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or

the Loans made to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) With respect to US Term Loans and Asset Sale Loans,

(A) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(B) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (A) or (B) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(ii) With respect to outstanding Euro Term Loans, if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so require, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than 30 days in order to agree on a mutually acceptable substitute basis for calculating the interest payable on the Euro Term Loans and, (A) if a substitute basis is agreed within that period between the Administrative Agent (with the consent of all the Lenders holding such Euro Term Loans) and the Borrower, then it shall apply in accordance with its terms (and may be retrospective to the beginning of the relevant Interest Period) and (B) unless and until a substitute basis is so agreed, the interest payable to such Lenders on the applicable Euro Term Loans for the relevant Interest Period will be the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by that Lender to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) plus the Applicable Margin and, if applicable, Mandatory Costs.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section 2.15, or as permitted under Section 2.23, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar or Euro amount, as applicable.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender 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 Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Parent and Holdings (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply). Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by any Loan Party to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars (with respect to US Term Loans and Asset Term Loans) or Euros (with respect to Euro Term Loans), in each case without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that, if any Taxes are required by law to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding for Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent and each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes imposed on a Loan Party to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or if notified in writing by the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for any Other Taxes.

(c) Without duplication of any obligation imposed under Section 2.20(a), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any penalties or interest arising from the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to timely pay any Taxes required to be paid by it, if such failure results from the gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law that is applicable to such Lender as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(e)(i) or (ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.20(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.20 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, two accurate and complete executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (A) IRS Form W-8BEN (or its successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party; (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or its successor form); (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (or its successor form), together with all required attachments (each such attachment form being accurate, complete and properly executed); (D) IRS Form W-8EXP (or its successor form); or (E) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under the Code both, IRS Form W-8BEN and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the applicable form of Exhibit I. Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (at the times and in the manner provided with respect to Foreign Lenders under the preceding sentence) IRS Form W-9 (or its successor form).

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(e)(ii), the definition of “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with two accurate and complete executed copies of (1) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner, (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders and (3) if applicable, the documentation described in Section 2.20(e)(ii).

(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender incurred in connection with obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph if the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Taxes subject to the indemnification payments or additional amounts and giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.20(g) shall be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort

(including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee (which Eligible Assignee may be an Affiliated Lender only if Section 10.04(l) is complied with) that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment thereafter and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and, if applicable, the prepayment fees pursuant to Sections 2.12(d) and 2.12(e) (with such assignment being deemed to be an voluntary prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of Sections 2.12(d) and 2.12(e), such amount to be payable by the Borrower)); provided, further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a) and the Administrative Agent will so execute and deliver the Assignment and Acceptance (on behalf of such Lender) upon request by the Borrower.

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender

to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (either in the form of a new tranche of term loans or an increase to the Term Loans) (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” (and the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”)) and/or a revolving credit facility tranche (the “Revolving Commitments” (and the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”) and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount for all such Incremental Facilities not to exceed the Incremental Facilities Amount; provided that the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments shall in no event exceed $250.0 million at any time. Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Facilities being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1.0 million and a minimum aggregate amount of $50.0 million or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Facilities Amount), (B) the date on which such Incremental Facilities are requested to become effective, and (C) whether such Incremental Facility consists of Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Commitments.

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (all of which must be Eligible Assignees, which Eligible Assignee may be an Affiliated Lender only if Section 10.04(l) is complied with) who will become Lenders (each, an “Incremental Lender”) in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Facility of each Incremental Lender. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Term Loans except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement; provided that (x) in no event shall any assets not included in the Collateral secure such Incremental Term Loans and (y) in no event shall any Person that is not a Loan Party guarantee or provide other credit support with respect to such Incremental Term Loans. In any event, (i) the final maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the Term Loans, (iii) if the all-in yield on such Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to interest rate margins, upfront or similar fees and original issue discount (with upfront or similar fees and original issue discount calculated based on the shorter of a four year life to maturity or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans), Adjusted LIBO Rate or

Alternate Base Rate floors shared with all lenders or holders thereof, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof or any fluctuations in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate) exceeds the all-in yield then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans (after giving effect to interest rate margins, upfront or similar fees and original issue discount (with upfront or similar fees and original issue discount calculated based on the shorter of a four year life to maturity or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans), Adjusted LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate floors shared with all lenders or holders thereof, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof or any fluctuations in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate) by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loans; provided that, if the Incremental Term Loans include an interest rate “floor” greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the Applicable Margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin under the Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors, and (iv) if such Incremental Facility includes Revolving Commitments in addition to a then existing tranche of Revolving Commitments, such Revolving Commitments will be documented solely as an increase to the commitments with respect to the then existing Revolving Commitments, without any change in terms. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any other Lender or Incremental Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.22 unless (i) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Facility or to the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans thereunder, as applicable, (ii) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01(m) and 4.01(n) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Sections to the Closing Date being deemed to be references to the applicable date of such Incremental Facility or the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans thereunder, as applicable) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Parent and the Borrower, (iii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders shall have been paid and (iv) to the extent specified in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative

Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.01.

SECTION 2.23. Extension Amendments.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.23, agree with one or more Lenders holding Loans and Commitments of any Class (“Existing Class”) to extend the maturity date and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.23 (each such modification, an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders under any Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.23, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class) of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans of each applicable Class or Classes to be extended (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses no later than five Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Lenders are requested to respond. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.23.

(b) After giving effect to any Extension, the Loans or Commitments so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class that they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder; provided that at no time shall there be more than two different classes of Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that (i) in the case of any Extension Amendment relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, all borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all applicable Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Commitments (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments), until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Commitments on the relevant maturity date and (ii) no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of Extended Loans shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction of Extended Revolving Commitments, if applicable) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction of Extended Revolving Commitments, if applicable), as applicable, of the applicable Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments (or all Existing Revolving Commitments of such Class and related Existing Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full), as applicable.

(i) no Event of Default under Section 8.01(b), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to any amendment and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date such Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments are established;

(ii) the Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (as applicable, “Extended Loans” or “Extended Revolving Commitments”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Amendment (as applicable, “Existing Loans” or “Existing Revolving Commitments”); except (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the applicable maturity date of the Class of Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, that is the subject of the related Extension Amendment, and the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Class of Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, that is subject of the related Extension Amendment, (B) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, (C) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for Existing Revolving Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (D) any applicable Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (E) the Extended Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may contain a “most favored nation” provision for the benefit of Lenders holding Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and (F) the other terms and conditions applicable to Extended Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those with respect to the Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, so long as such terms and conditions only apply after the latest maturity date of the Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, hereunder; provided, further, that each Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.23, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the extending Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided, however, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Class of Extended Loans or Extended

Revolving Commitments to be secured by any Collateral or other assets or property of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries that does not also secure the Existing Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments;

(iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable Class in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) a minimum amount in respect of such Extension (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $25.0 million, unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) shall be satisfied;

(v) no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.01(m) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to the Closing Date being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Financial Officer of Parent and the Borrower; and

(vi) no Extension consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.12 or 2.13.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 10.08 will not apply to Extensions of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

(e) No Lender who rejects any request for an Extension shall be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender for purposes of Section 2.21.

(f) No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23 and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23.

(g) Promptly following the consummation and effectiveness of any Extension, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly furnish to each Lender) written notice setting forth the Extended Maturity Date and material economic terms of the Extension and the aggregate principal amount of each class of Loans and Commitments after giving effect to the Extension.

(h) If any Extension is treated as a significant modification of the Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at reasonable request by the Borrower in connection with such Extension, the Administrative Agent shall take reasonable good faith efforts to provide the Borrower with sales price information, pricing quotes (including firm quotes and indicative quotes) or similar information requested by the Borrower that the Borrower may reasonably need in determining (x) whether the Loans are “traded on an established market” within the meaning of Section 1.1273-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and (y) the fair market value of the Loans at the time of such Extension, but only to the extent such information is not confidential and reasonably available to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.24. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.01 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account subject to a first priority perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all

Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments (or, if the applicable Commitment shall have terminated, in accordance with the Commitments as in effect prior to such termination). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. No Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Lender, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (or, if the applicable Commitment shall have terminated, in accordance with the Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such termination), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Lender Counterparties. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a Lender Counterparty with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 5.01. Existence; Businesses and Properties; Compliance with Laws. Do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Parent or any such Significant Subsidiary or group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party (and, in the case of clause (2), below, Stratus World Trade Corporation) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that all Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by the Collateral and all other assets of the same asset class as those asset classes constituting Collateral on the Closing Date (in each case (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral referred to in clauses (1) to (4) (each inclusive) below), perfected with a first priority Lien to the extent required or reasonably contemplated by the Loan Documents, subject solely to Permitted Liens), including, without limitation, (1) a first priority Lien on all intercompany debt held by the Borrower or any Guarantor, (2) a first-priority Lien on all Capital Stock held by the Borrower, all Guarantors and Stratus World Trade Corporation in their respective Subsidiaries (“Pledged Subsidiaries”);

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent required or reasonably contemplated by the Security Documents, in no event shall the Borrower or any Guarantor be required to take any action (i) to record or perfect any security interest outside of any Covered Jurisdiction or (ii) to grant or perfect any security interest in any Principal Property (as defined in the Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1996, between the Borrower and The Bank of New York, as trustee, relating to the Borrower’s 6.50% Debentures due 2028, and the Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1996, between the Borrower and The Bank of New York, as trustee, relating to the Borrower’s 6.45% Debentures due 2029) or in any debt or equity of any Subsidiary that owns Principal Property (and no such Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor).

(e) At all times, the Loan Parties shall cause ownership of all Intellectual Property (other than Internet domain names) developed, created, acquired, issued or applied for on or after the Closing Date by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary to be vested, with title recorded to the extent applicable, in a Loan Party, except in instances where, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Loan Parties, a legitimate business need unrelated to the Loan Documents or the Obligations requires such Intellectual Property to be vested in another Person; provided that such Intellectual Property shall be subsequently vested in a Loan Party as soon as is reasonably practicable after such time (if any) such legitimate business need no longer exists. Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Loan Party shall be permitted hereunder to sell, transfer, assign, license, covenant-not-to-xxx, settle or compromise a claim or undertake any other disposition for value with respect to Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party (each an “Intellectual Property Disposition”); provided that such Intellectual Property Disposition shall (A) be subject to, and made in compliance with, Sections 6.02 and 6.04, and (B) otherwise be undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default each Loan Party shall maintain the ownership of all Intellectual Property owned, developed, created, acquired, issued or applied for by it and shall not take or fail to take any action constituting of, or otherwise abide or permit to occur, any Intellectual Property Disposition.

(f) Parent shall not be obligated or permitted to cause any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as of the Closing Date) to Guarantee the Loans (i) to the extent that such Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary would reasonably be

expected to give rise to or result in a violation of applicable law which, in any case, cannot be prevented or otherwise avoided through measures reasonably available to Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary or any liability for the officers, directors or shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) if the proposed Guarantor is a Foreign Subsidiary and either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have notified Parent that such Guarantee shall not be required or permitted.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) the only Collateral securing any Designated L/C Facility Obligations shall be the Shared Collateral under and as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement, and (ii) the Liens and security interests granted (or purported to be granted) pursuant to any Security Document upon any assets or property other than Shared Collateral shall be solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties.

SECTION 5.10. Unrestricted Subsidiaries. A Responsible Officer of Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Holdings, the Borrower or a Material Subsidiary) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as (a) both immediately before and after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (b) immediately after such designation, the Unrestricted Subsidiary Total Assets does not exceed 5.0% of Total Assets. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.02 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by Parent. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by filing with the Administrative Agent a Certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 6.02. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.03, Parent will be in default of such covenant. A Responsible Officer of Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (a) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 6.03, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (b) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation; provided, further, that any such Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been designated as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the foregoing provisions may not at any time after such designation be re-designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 5.11. Post-Closing Requirements Regarding Patents. For a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, to use reasonable best efforts to ensure that at least 90% of all registered or issued or applied for Patents of Parent and its Subsidiaries in the aggregate (whether or not recorded in the applicable offices of each Governmental Authority in the name of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) are included in the Collateral and subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, the Security Documents by a date not later than 90 days after the Closing Date and shall provide all evidence thereof reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to the Collateral Agent within 30 days after such deadline.

SECTION 5.12. European Union Loan Parties. With respect to any Loan Party formed, incorporated or organized in the European Union, for the purposes of the European Union Regulation, its center of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the European Union Regulation) shall be situated in its jurisdiction of incorporation and it shall not have any “establishment” (as that term is used in Article 2(h) of the European Union Regulation) in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.13. Anti-Terrorism Law; Anticorruption; Anti-Money Laundering.

(b) Ensure that the funds of such Loan Party or of any of its Subsidiaries that are used to repay the Obligations are not derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the making of the Loans would be in violation of applicable law.

(c) This Section 5.13 shall not be applicable to any German Loan Party or any Loan Party having an establishment in Germany.

SECTION 5.14. Embargoed Person. Ensure that (a) none of the funds, properties or assets of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries that are used to repay the Loans or other Obligations constitute property of, or are beneficially owned directly or indirectly by, any person subject to sanctions or trade restrictions under applicable law (each, an “Embargoed Person”) that is identified on (i) the SDN List or any comparable list of prohibited persons maintained by the European Union or under any law, statute, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority to which the Company or any Affiliate is subject, or (ii) the Executive Order, any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive orders, (b) no Embargoed Person has any direct or indirect interest, of any nature whatsoever in the Loan Parties or any of

This Section 5.14 shall not be applicable to any German Loan Party or any Loan Party having an establishment in Germany.

SECTION 6.03. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) Parent will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Parent will not issue any Disqualified Stock and

105

will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that Parent may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries for Parent’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.00:1.00, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.03(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(ii) the incurrence by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness listed on Schedule 1.01(a);

(v) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Agreement to be incurred under Section 6.03(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (xiii), (xvii) or (xix) of this Section 6.03(b);

106

(vi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Parent and any of such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent and (B) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent will, in each case, be deemed to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this Section 6.03(b)(vi); provided, further, that all such Indebtedness in excess of €10.0 million for any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be (x) in the case of any such Indebtedness owed to Parent, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, subordinated to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of a Subordinated Intercompany Note, and (y) evidenced by a Subordinated Intercompany Note, which note (and any assets or property securing the Indebtedness evidenced thereby, whether or not such assets or property would otherwise constitute Excluded Property) shall be pledged to the Collateral Agent and subject to the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents;

(vii) the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent to Parent or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this Section 6.03(b)(vii);

(viii) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes (as determined in good faith by Parent);

107

(xiii) Indebtedness of any Person outstanding on the date on which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent or is merged, consolidated, amalgamated or otherwise combined with (including pursuant to any acquisition of assets and assumption of related liabilities) Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness incurred to provide all or any portion of the funds used to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent or was otherwise acquired by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); provided, however, with respect to this Section 6.03(b)(xiii), that at the time of the acquisition or other transaction pursuant to which such Indebtedness was deemed to be incurred by Parent would have been able to incur €1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.03(a) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 6.03(b)(xiii);

(xiv) Indebtedness arising from agreements of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for customary indemnification, obligations in respect of earnouts or other adjustments of purchase price or, in each case, similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets or Person or any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary; provided that the maximum liability of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of non-cash proceeds (measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value), actually received by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(xv) Indebtedness incurred by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including obligations under or in respect of related guarantees, indemnities and other contingent or actual payment obligations) under Receivables Financings;

(xvi) Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by Electro Banque under applicable banking regulations and for so long as Electro Banque is regulated by a recognized governmental entity or agency; provided that such Indebtedness is ancillary, reasonably related or complementary to Electro-Banque’s financing business, as conducted by Electro Banque in the ordinary course of its business on the Closing Date, consistent with past practice;

(xvii) Governmental Indebtedness incurred by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) €500.0 million and (ii) the Incremental Facilities Amount less the aggregate amount of all Incremental Facilities established prior to such time pursuant to Section 2.22; provided that any Indebtedness incurred in reliance on this clause (xvii) shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the Incremental Facilities Amount;

108

(xviii) Indebtedness incurred to comply with the requirements under the German Partial Retirement Act (Altersteilzeitgesetz) or the German Social Code IV (Sozialgesetzbuch IV);

(xix) Non-Recourse ASB Debt; provided that at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness Parent would have been able to incur €1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 6.03(b)(xix); or

(xx) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness or the issuance by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Disqualified Stock in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed €750.0 million.

(c) The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of Parent as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

(d) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(i) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(ii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

109

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any Euro-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Euro Equivalent of the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency will be calculated in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Parent based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under a revolving credit facility; provided that (1) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Euros, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Euro-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Euro-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; (2) the Euro Equivalent of the principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date; and (3) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness, if denominated in Euros, will be the amount of the principal payment required to be made under such currency agreement and, otherwise, the Euro Equivalent of such amount plus the Euro Equivalent of any premium which is at such time due and payable but is not covered by such currency agreement.

(f) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The ‘‘Increased Amount’’ of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

(i) Parent (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(ii) except for Asset Sales consummated in compliance with Section 6.04(b) or 6.04(c), the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Collateral transferred from (x) the Borrower, Parent or any other Guarantor to Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors or (y) the Borrower or any U.S. Guarantor to non-U.S. Guarantors the

(iii) except for Asset Sales consummated in compliance with Section 6.04(a)(ii) and Asset Sales consummated in compliance with Section 6.04(c), at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Borrower, Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is Cash Consideration.

For purposes of this Section 6.04, each of the following will be deemed to be Cash Consideration, so long as, in the case of clause (F) below, it is subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent (provided that such Lien requirement shall not apply to assets (i) owned by a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent organized under the laws of China, (ii) located in China, (iii) the pledge of which are otherwise prohibited by applicable law and (iv) the pledge of which would have adverse tax consequences for Parent or the Borrower):

111

(B) (i) any equity interest, securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion, or (ii) any cash or Cash Equivalents received with respect to (including by way of dividend or otherwise) such equity interests, securities, notes or other obligations by Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days following the closing of the Asset Sale;

(D) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which is either repaid in full or cancelled in connection with such Asset Sale;

(b) No later than the later of (i) 60 days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent and (ii) the date when Parent’s annual report on Form 20-F for such fiscal year is required to be publicly filed, the Borrower or Parent shall apply (or cause to be applied) an amount not less than 75% of the revenues received by Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during such fiscal year with respect to Asset Sales consisting of licenses of Patents (for the avoidance of doubt, other than Specified Patent Licenses) to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

(c) No later than 10 days after the date of receipt by the Borrower, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, for which Asset Sale less than 75% of the consideration received by the Borrower (other than any such Asset Sales consummated in compliance with Sections 6.04(a)(ii) and 6.04(d)), Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is Cash Consideration, the Borrower or Parent shall apply (or cause to be applied) an amount not less than 56.3% (or, in the case of any such Asset Sale of Designated Assets, 75% of the Designated Asset Sale Percentage) of the total consideration received by the Borrower, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to such Asset Sale to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

112

(d) Subject to Section 6.04(h), no later than 10 days after the date of receipt by the Borrower, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds from a Patent Monetization Program (whether received in accordance with Section 6.04(a)(ii), 6.04(a)(iii) or otherwise, but excluding any Patent Monetization Program consummated in compliance with Section 6.04(b) or 6.04(c)) or from an Asset Sale of one or more Designated Assets (excluding any such Asset Sale consummated in compliance with Section 6.04(c)), the Borrower or Parent shall apply (or cause to be applied) an amount not less than (i) in the case of any such Patent Monetization Program, 75%, and (ii) in the case of any such Asset Sale of Designated Assets, the Designated Asset Sale Percentage, in each case of the Net Proceeds received with respect to such Patent Monetization Program or such other Asset Sale, as applicable, to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

(f) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Parent (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

113

(i) The obligations contained in the foregoing clauses (b) through (h) above shall not apply to any German Loan Party if and to the extent and as long as it is unlawful (including, without limitation, by reason of financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming cash intra-group and the fiduciary duties of the directors of any German Loan Party (including, without limitation, statutory duties relating to German capital maintenance (Kapitalerhaltung / Einlagenrückgewähr)):

(i) to perform the respective obligation; and/or

(ii) to make funds available to any other Loan Party for the purpose of such other Loan Party performing the respective obligation.

The Loan Parties shall procure that the relevant obligation under paragraphs (b) to (d) (each inclusive) is discharged using other cash resources available to the Loan Parties which cash resources are not subject to such restrictions or obstacles. To the extent that no such other cash resources are available the Loan Parties shall use reasonable endeavors to overcome any restrictions and obstacles preventing the relevant German Loan Party to discharge such obligation as required under the first sentence of this paragraph (e).

SECTION 6.05. Liens. Parent will not and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume any Lien other than Permitted Liens of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired.

ARTICLE VII

Guaranty

SECTION 7.01. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries, the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations) when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that Guaranteed Obligations consisting of obligations of any Loan Party arising under any Secured Hedging Agreement shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations.

SECTION 7.02. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions

115

of applicable law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date

by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.02), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.

SECTION 7.03. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), the Guarantors will upon demand (such demand shall be automatically deemed given in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(g) or (h)) pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Beneficiaries as aforesaid, for application in accordance with Section 8.02.

SECTION 7.04. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability;

(b) this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; except that with respect to each Canadian Guarantor, this Guaranty is a contract of surety;

116

(c) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Loan Party and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(d) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(e) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Secured Hedging Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Loan Party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreements; and

117

(g) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be (i) valid and enforceable notwithstanding, and (ii) shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of, in each case, the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (B) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Secured Hedging Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such Secured Hedging Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (C) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (D) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or any of the Secured Hedging Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (E) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Parent, Holdings or any of their respective Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (F) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in or Lien upon any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (G) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (H) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 7.05. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto

118

or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Secured Hedging Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.04 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Brazil herein expressly waives any benefit it may have under Articles 366, 827, 829, 830, 834, 835, 837, 838 and 839 of the Civil Code of Brazil (Federal Law 10.406/02) and Article 595 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code (Federal Law 5.869/73); provided that no such waiver shall be construed so as to prejudice any right of any Lenders under this Agreement, which shall be absolute.

SECTION 7.06. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and all Commitments shall have been terminated or expired, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and all Commitments shall have been terminated or expired, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such

119

other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full or all Commitments shall not have been terminated or expired, such amount shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall prohibit a Guarantor from proving its claim in any bankruptcy or insolvency procedure opened against the Borrower or another Guarantor.

SECTION 7.07. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

SECTION 7.08. Continuing Guaranty. Except as provided in Section 7.12, this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and all Commitments shall have been terminated or expired. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 7.09. Authority of Loan Parties. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Loan Party or any officer, director, representative or agent acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

SECTION 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Loan may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Secured Hedging Agreement may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Secured Hedging Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreement, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

120

SECTION 7.11. Bankruptcy, Etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of the Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

SECTION 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor or Upon Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If (a) any of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than Parent) or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in a transaction permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions hereof, or (b) a Guarantor (other than Parent and any Material Subsidiary) is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.10, then the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or other disposition. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall deliver any such termination or release documentation as the Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence such termination and release, and return to the Credit Party any related Collateral that is in the Collateral Agent’s possession.

121

SECTION 7.13. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the full and final payment and discharge of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.13 constitute, and this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(iv) The limitations set out in paragraph (b)(ii) above do not affect the rights of the Beneficiaries to claim any outstanding amount again at a later point in time if and to the extent that paragraph (b)(ii) above would allow this at that later point.

In such event, the limitations set out in paragraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above shall not apply to the Guaranty granted by that German Guarantor in respect of any liabilities which are owed by that other AG Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) To the extent that (x) the Guaranty is granted by a GmbH Guarantor, (y) the limitations set out in paragraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above do not apply to the GmbH Guarantor as a Subsidiary of an AG Guarantor in respect of such AG Guarantor’s Upstream or Cross-Stream Liabilities and (z) the Guaranty secures Upstream or Cross-stream Liabilities, each of the Beneficiaries agrees not to enforce the Guaranty in respect of such amount:

(A) as is required to ensure that the amount of the relevant GmbH Guarantor’s net assets, calculated as the sum of the balance sheet positions shown under section 266 sub-section (2) (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) HGB less the sum of the amounts shown under balance sheet positions shown under section 266 sub-section (3) (B), (C), (D) and (E) HGB and any amounts not available for distribution to its shareholders in accordance with section 268 sub-section (8) HGB, does not fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital); or

(B) where the amount of the relevant GmbH Guarantor’s net assets already is below the amount of its registered share capital, as is required as to ensure that such amount is not further reduced.

(ii) The limitations in clauses (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above will not apply:

124

(A) to any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed under this Agreement and have been on-lent to, or otherwise been passed on or made available to, the relevant GmbH Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, or other financial accommodation made available to, or bank guarantees issued for the benefit of creditors of, such GmbH Guarantor or a Subsidiary of such GmbH Guarantor by a Lender under the Loan Documents, and in each case to the extent still outstanding at the time the demand under the Guaranty is made against such GmbH Guarantor provided that the Administrative Agent waives with binding effect on the Parties the restrictions set out in Section 7.06 (Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution Etc.) in respect of the GmbH Guarantor’s recourse claims (if any) arising as a result of the enforcement of the Guarantee and the relevant GmbH Guarantor is able to immediately (i) set off its recourse claims (if any) against its obligation in respect of the funds on-lent or otherwise passed on or made available to it or in respect of the other financial accommodation or bank guarantees (each as described above) or (ii) otherwise use its recourse claims (if any) to settle or discharge such obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Administrative Agent elects not to waive the restrictions set out in Section 7.06 (Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution Etc.) in respect of the GmbH Guarantor’s recourse claims (if any) arising as a result of the enforcement of the Guarantee, the limitations in paragraphs (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above shall apply in relation to any amounts described in the first sentence of this paragraph (A) if and to the extent that any restrictions apply which prevent the relevant German Guarantor from discharging its respective obligation in respect of the funds on-lent or otherwise passed on or made available to it or in respect of the other financial accommodation or bank guarantees (each as described in the preceding sentence) with any recourse claim arising as a result of any payment by the respective German Guarantor under the Guaranty;

(B) if following the Guaranty Demand Date the relevant GmbH Guarantor does not provide financial statements in accordance with paragraphs (c)(iv) and (c)(v) below;

(C) if on the Guaranty Demand Date the relevant GmbH Guarantor (as dominated entity) is party to an Intercompany Agreement other than where despite the existence of such Intercompany Agreement there would be a violation of Sections 30 or 31 GmbHG; or

(D) if and to the extent the relevant GmbH Guarantor holds on the Guaranty Demand Date a fully recoverable indemnity claim or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against its shareholder that can be accounted for in the balance sheet of the relevant GmbH Guarantor at full value (vollwertig).

(iii) For the purpose of the calculation of the net assets of the relevant GmbH Guarantor, the following balance sheet items shall be disregarded:

125

(A) the amount of any increase of the relevant GmbH Guarantor’s registered share capital after the date of this agreement (1) if and to the extent it has been effected without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or later written approval of the Administrative Agent (if in accordance with the Loan Documents, each consent or approval not to be unreasonably withheld), or (2) if and to the extent that it is not fully paid up provided that the corresponding claim against the shareholders is not accounted for as an asset in the balance sheet of the GmbH Guarantor at the Guaranty Demand Date;

(B) loans provided to the relevant GmbH Guarantor by a Group Member if (1) such loans are subordinated (for the benefit of its creditors in general) or (2) are considered as subordinated in an insolvency proceeding over its assets pursuant to Section 39 sub-section 1 no. 5 of the German Insolvency Code, provided that the relevant Group Member granting such loan is not restricted to waive the repayment claim or to contribute it into the capital reserves of the relevant GmbH Guarantor or to extinguish the repayment claim in any other way (e.g. by assignment to the borrower under that loan) unless there is an important reason which precludes the extinguishment of such claim (e.g. considerable amounts of taxes are triggered); if the relevant Group Member is not restricted to extinguish the repayment claim and if such Group Member is a Guarantor, the corresponding amount of the repayment claim of that Group Member shall be disregarded when calculating the net assets (if applicable) of that Group Member in connection with the enforcement of the Guaranty or security interest or Lien created pursuant to a Security Document by that Group Member. The first sentence of this paragraph (B) shall not apply if the Administrative Agent notifies the respective GmbH Guarantor that it elects to enforce the Guaranty or security interest or Lien created pursuant to a Security Document against that other Group Member and the aforementioned payment claim is taken into account when calculating that other Group Member’s net assets (if applicable) available for such enforcement; and

(iv) The relevant GmbH Guarantor shall deliver (within 15 Business Days following the Guaranty Demand Date) to the Administrative Agent a notification stating that and to which extent the amount payable in respect of its Guaranty Obligations shall be limited in accordance with paragraphs (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above and taking into account the adjustments in paragraph (c)(iii) above, such notification to be supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, i.e. interim financial statements (Stichtagsbilanz) showing the balance sheet positions mentioned in paragraph (c)(i) above (taking into account the adjustments in paragraph (c)(iii) above) as of the date on which the enforcement of the obligations under the Guaranty is sought (as set forth above, the “Management Determination”).

126

(v) Following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Management Determination, upon the Administrative Agent’s request (acting reasonably) (the “Agent’s Request”), the relevant GmbH Guarantor will deliver (within 20 Business Days following receipt of the Agent’s Request) to the Administrative Agent an up-to-date balance sheet drawn-up by its auditors or any other reputable auditing firm together with a determination of the net assets. Such balance sheet and determination of net assets shall be prepared in accordance with accounting principles pursuant to the HGB, be based on the same principles that were applied when establishing the previous year’s balance sheet and take into account the adjustments in paragraph (c)(iii) above. The determination by the auditors (as set forth above, the “Auditors’ Determination”) pertaining to the relevant GmbH Guarantor shall have been prepared as of the date of the Guaranty Demand Date.

(vi) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to demand payment under the Guaranty in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination or, if applicable and taking into account any previous enforcement in accordance with the Management Determination, the Auditors’ Determination, not cause the relevant GmbH Guarantor’s net assets to be reduced below the registered share capital of the relevant GmbH Guarantor or further reduced if already below such registered share capital. If and to the extent (A) the net assets as determined by the Auditors’ Determination are lower than the amount enforced in accordance with the Management Determination or (B) the Guaranty Obligations have been enforced without regard to the limitations set out in (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above because (x) the Management Determination was not delivered within the relevant time frame or (y) the Auditors’ Determination was not delivered within the relevant time frame but has been delivered within 20 Business Days (or such longer period as the Parties shall agree upon if delivery of the Auditors’ Determination is delayed and such delay is not the fault of the GmbH Guarantor) following the due date for the delivery of the Auditors’ Determination, the Administrative Agent shall without undue delay repay to the relevant GmbH Guarantor upon written demand of the relevant GmbH Guarantor any amount (if and to the extent already paid to the Beneficiaries (or any of them)) (1) in the case of (A) above, equal to the difference between the amount paid and the amount payable resulting from the Auditor’s Determination, and (2) in the case of (B) above, which the Beneficiaries would not have been entitled to enforce had the Management Determination and the Auditors’ Determination been delivered in time provided such demand for repayment is made to the Administrative Agent within 6 months (Ausschlussfrist) from the date the Guaranty is enforced. The Administrative Agent may withhold any amount received pursuant to an enforcement of this Guaranty until final determination of the amount of the net assets pursuant to the Auditors’ Determination.

(vii) If pursuant to the Auditors’ Determination the amount of the available net assets is higher than that set out in the Management Determination, the relevant GmbH Guarantor shall pay such amount to the Beneficiaries within 5 Business Days after receipt of the Auditors’ Determination.

127

(viii) In a situation where the relevant GmbH Guarantor does not have sufficient net assets to maintain its registered share capital the relevant GmbH Guarantor shall within three months after a written request by the Administrative Agent, to the extent commercially justifiable, dispose of all assets which are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) where the relevant assets are shown in the balance sheet of the relevant GmbH Guarantor with a book value which (in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) is significantly lower than the market value of such assets. After the expiry of such three months period the GmbH Guarantor shall, within three Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the net proceeds from the sale and submit a statement with a new calculation of the amount of the net assets of the relevant GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request (acting reasonably), be confirmed by one of the auditors of the relevant GmbH Guarantor within a period of 20 Business Days following the request.

(ix) The limitations set out in clauses (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above do not affect the rights of the Beneficiaries to claim any outstanding amount again at a later point in time if any to the extent that clauses (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) above would allow this at that later point.

(x) The Beneficiaries will not enforce the Guaranty against a GmbH Guarantor if and to the extent the enforcement of the Guaranty will trigger liability of any of the GmbH Guarantor’s managing directors under Section 64 sentence 3 GmbHG as a consequence of granting the Guaranty. If after the date of this Agreement there will be available a ruling of the German Federal Court (Bundesgerichtshof) or a final ruling of a German higher regional court (Oberlandesgericht) holding (A) that the granting of any up-stream and/or cross-stream guaranty or security may, in case of the enforcement of such guaranty or security, trigger any liability of any of the GmbH Guarantors’ managing directors pursuant to Section 64 sentence 3 GmbHG, or (B) that any such liability may not be triggered, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations and consider whether to make appropriate amendments to reflect such ruling.

(d) Limitations relating to a GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor. Paragraph (c) of this Section 7.14 shall apply mutatis mutandis if the Guaranty is granted by a GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor in relation to the limited liability company (GmbH) as general partner (Komplementär) of that GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor.

(e) Interpretation. This Section 7.14 shall be interpreted having regard to the substantive laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, German rules on the conflict of laws (Auslegung gemäß deutschem materiellen Rechts unter Ausschluß des deutschen Internationalen Privatrechts).

SECTION 7.15. English Guaranty Limitations. This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Xxx 0000 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of any Guarantor formed, incorporated or organized in England.

128

SECTION 7.16. Dutch Guaranty Limitations. The obligations of a Guarantor incorporated under Dutch law or of any Subsidiary of a Guarantor incorporated under Dutch law under this Article VII and under any other Loan Document, shall exclude and shall not be or be construed as, any guarantee, indemnity, security or other obligation to the extent that it would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 2:98c of the Dutch Civil Code, the articles of association of a Guarantor incorporated under Dutch law or any other applicable financial assistance rules of any relevant jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.17. Canadian Guarantor Indemnity. As an original and independent obligation of the Guaranty, each Canadian Guarantor shall indemnify each Beneficiary against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any other Loan Party to make due and punctual payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resulting from any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or becoming void, voidable or unenforceable against any other Loan Party.

Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or

135

any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.08) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to hire, and rely on opinions and judgments of, and shall be protected in hiring and relying on opinions and judgments of, attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.08).

(c) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.03 and of Section 9.06 shall apply to any of the Related Parties of the Agents and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.03 and of Section 9.06 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Related Parties were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and not to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person, and no Loan Party, no Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

136

SECTION 9.04. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Related Parties may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Parent, the Borrower or any Guarantor for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.05. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Loans and other credit extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Parent and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment and Assumption or an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, as applicable, and by funding its Loans on the Closing Date or on such other applicable date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding of any applicable Incremental Facilities.

(c) Each Lender acknowledges that Parent and Holdings are, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee” and Section 10.04, Eligible Assignees hereunder and may purchase Loans and/or Commitments hereunder from Lenders from time to time.

SECTION 9.06. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans), severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Loan Parties, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,

137

judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof; provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 9.07. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), unless such date is extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (ii) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the prior written consent of Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent in its role as Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents or any of the Secured Hedging Agreements shall continue to be held by the retiring Collateral Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the

138

successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, (ii) assign its rights under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt to such successor Collateral Agent, and (iii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent such amendments to financing statements (or foreign equivalents), and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided above, any such resignation of the Person acting as Administrative Agent (or its successor) pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall, if applicable, also constitute the resignation of such Person (or its successor) as Collateral Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation unless such date is extended by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, (ii) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the prior written consent of Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Until a successor Collateral Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring Collateral Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements (or foreign equivalents), and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents. After any Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Security Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

139

SECTION 9.08. Security Documents and Guaranty.

(a) Agents under Security Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Designated L/C Facility Obligations or any holder of Obligations with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement. Subject to Section 10.08, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.08) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.08) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Lenders or the Secured Parties, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

140

(c) Rights under Designated L/C Facility Obligations or Hedging Obligations. No Designated L/C Facility Obligations or Hedging Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Designated L/C Facility Counterparty or Lender Counterparty, as applicable, that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except, in the case of Hedging Obligations owed to any Lender Counterparty only, as expressly provided in Section 10.08(b)(vii). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Designated L/C Facility Counterparty and each Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Designated L/C Facility Counterparty or a Lender Party, as applicable, and as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (c).

(d) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Secured Hedging Agreement or of any Designated L/C Facility Counterparty) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in and Liens upon all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Designated L/C Facility Obligations or Obligations in respect of Secured Hedging Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(e) No Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(f) Accessory and Non-Accessory Security Under German Law. The Collateral Agent shall (i) in case of non-accessory security rights under German law, hold, administer and, as the case may be, enforce the Collateral in its own name, but for the account of the Secured Parties; and (ii) in case of accessory security rights under German law created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments, administer and, as the case may be, enforce the Collateral in the name and for and on behalf of the Secured Parties or in its own name but in each case for the account of the Secured Parties.

141

(g) Release of Collateral in Respect of Asset Sales. Upon any disposition of property or liquidation permitted by this Agreement (other than to another Loan Party required to xxxxx x Xxxx in such property), the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents in respect of such disposed property or such liquidation, as applicable, shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Loan Party with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at the applicable Loan Party’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to effectuate the release set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (including financing statement amendments to evidence such release), including, with respect to any such liquidation, prior to the effectiveness of such liquidation as and to the extent required by applicable law (as certified to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Loan Party).

SECTION 9.09. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or other Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file

142

such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including, without limitation, any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent under Sections 2.05 and 10.05 allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Secured Party to make such payments to the applicable Agent, as applicable, and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Secured Parties, as applicable, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the applicable Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to such Agent under Sections 2.05 and 10.05. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the applicable Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to such under Sections 2.05 and 10.05 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or the Secured Parties may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Secured Party, as applicable, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Secured Party, as applicable, or to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Secured Party, as applicable, in any such proceeding.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notices may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

144

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 10.01(c), including through the Platform.

Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Loan Party Materials”) by posting the Loan Party Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive Material Non-Public Information (each, a “Public Lender”)). Each Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) all Loan Party Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Loan Party Materials “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized each Agent and the Lenders to treat such Loan Party Materials as not containing any Material Non-Public Information for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Loan Party Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.16), (iii) all Loan Party Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Loan Party Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Loan Party Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly and in writing that any such document contains Material Non-Public Information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) administrative materials prepared by the Agents for Lenders, (C) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Agreement Facilities and (D) all financial statements and certificates furnished pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii).

145

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Material Non-Public Information for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of any Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries herein and in the other Loan Documents, and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agents and the Lenders and shall survive the making of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Agents and the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

146

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and any such attempted transfer or assignment shall be null and void, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 10.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 10.04(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Indemnitees and Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.04(f)) any legal or equitable right, remedy, obligation, liability or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Credit Agreement Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.04 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in any case not described in Section 10.04(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of Euro Term Loans, €1.0 million) or integral multiples thereof, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment and/or Loans assigned;

(iii) (A) in the case of an assignment to a Disqualified Institution, the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided that no such consent under this clause (A) shall be required after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(b), (c), (g) or (h), or (B) in the case of any other assignment, the prior

147

written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent under this clause (B) shall be required to an assignment (x) made to a then current Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a then current Lender, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (z) in connection with the primary syndication of the Credit Agreement Facilities; provided, further, that, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within 10 Business Days of a request for such consent;

(iv) each assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(v) the parties to each assignment shall either (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or if required by Section 10.04(l), an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or if required by Section 10.04(l), an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain Material Non-Public Information) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent all applicable tax forms required by Section 2.20(e);

(vi) no such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower, Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of the Borrower or an Affiliated Lender only, pursuant to, and in accordance with Section 10.04(k) or 10.04(l), as applicable), or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B);

(vii) no such assignment shall be made to a natural Person;

(viii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the

148

Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and the Borrower, and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and unused Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(f).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as

149

it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon any, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and only at such office of the Administrative Agent), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (e).

(f) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any other Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such

150

Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.05(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver decreasing any fees payable to such Participant or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Participant has an interest or releasing Parent or all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.02) or all or substantially all of the Collateral. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (through the applicable Lender, and subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(e) (it being understood that the documentation under Section 2.20(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.04(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.16 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one or more of its offices a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Loan Parties furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Loan Parties; provided that, prior to

151

any such disclosure of Information or other information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and that the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The Borrower agrees that each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b); provided that such SPV (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.04(b) and (B) neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under Debtor Relief Law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPV may (1) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

152

(j) None of the Loan Parties shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it to Borrower on a non-pro rata basis (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments), subject to the following limitations:

(i) the Borrower may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Loans, provided that, (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Lenders and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.04(k) and the Auction procedures set forth on Exhibit J and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) with respect to all repurchases made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(k), (A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Auction Manager a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase and (y) as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, the Borrower (through its directors or officers) may be aware of Material Non-Public Information that (1) that has not been disclosed to the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent and the non-Public Lenders prior to such date or (2) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to the Borrower, and (B) the assigning Lender and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption;

(iii) the Borrower and its Affiliates (A) do not receive information provided solely to Lenders by any Agent or any Lender, and (B) are not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and/or the Agents;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 10.04(k) or pursuant to Section 10.04(l) and held at any one time by the Borrower or Affiliated Lenders, as applicable, may not exceed 25% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans; and

(v) following repurchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(k), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be automatically

153

and irrevocably cancelled and retired for no consideration and no longer outstanding (and may not be participated in, resold, assigned or otherwise disposed of and shall be incapable of being participated in, resold, assigned or otherwise disposed of), including, without limitation, for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and any related cancellation of indebtedness income shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income and all other financial definitions in the Loan Documents. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(k), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments) to any Affiliated Lender on a non pro rata basis through (A) Auctions (provided that (x) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Lenders and (y) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with the Auction procedures set forth on Exhibit J and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent) or (B) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations:

(i) such Affiliated Lender shall deliver to the Auction Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase and (B) (x) in the case of an open market purchase, as of the date of any such purchase and the effective date of any Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, or (y) in the case of an Auction, as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, such Affiliated Lender (through its directors or officers) may be aware of Material Non-Public Information that (1) has not been disclosed to the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent and the non-Public Lenders prior to such date or (2) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Affiliated Lender;

(ii) such Affiliated Lender (A) does not receive information provided solely to Lenders by any Agent or any Lender, and (B) is not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and/or the Agents;

154

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 10.04(l) or pursuant to Section 10.04(k) and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, may not exceed 25% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans;

(iv) following repurchase by such Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section 10.04(l), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, (A) be automatically and irrevocably cancelled and retired and no longer outstanding (and may not be participated in, resold, assigned or otherwise disposed of and shall be incapable of being participated in, resold, assigned or otherwise disposed of), including, without limitation, for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and any related cancellation of Indebtedness income shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income and all other financial definitions in the Loan Documents. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(l), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation; and

(v) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Parent and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, to pay promptly (a) all the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, (b) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Loan Parties (and, if applicable, counsel to the Agents), (c) the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and one special counsel for the Agents (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Person or Persons affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional firm of counsel (and, if necessary, one additional firm of local counsel and special counsel) for each such affected person), (d) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating, perfecting, recording, maintaining and preserving Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Agents and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single

155

special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and one special counsel for the Agents (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional firm of counsel (and, if necessary, one additional firm of local counsel and special counsel) for each such affected person), and the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel providing any opinions that any Agent or the Required Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents, (e) all the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, experts, consultants, appraisers and other professional advisors, (f) all the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses (including the actual and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, experts, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by Collateral Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral, (g) all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, and (h) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

(b) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.05(a), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled Affiliates or controlling Persons or any of the officers, directors, employees or members of any of the foregoing, in each case who are involved in or aware of the Transactions, or (ii) arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees (other than any Indemnitee acting in its capacity as an Agent or similar role) that do not involve an act or omission by any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(c) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, under Sections 10.05(a) and 10.05(b), within thirty days after demand therefor, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the

156

Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto nor their respective Subsidiaries shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof, or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party who is owed Obligations is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent

157

for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a CFC (other than Stratus World Trade Corporation). The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party may have. Each Secured Party agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. EXCEPT AS AND TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE, BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (other than the Fee Letter, which may be amended, waived or modified only in accordance with the terms thereof) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

158

(i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby;

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender;

(iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 10.04(j) or the provisions of this Section 10.08(b), without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class disproportionately from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class;

(v) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(i) without the written consent of such SPV;

(vi) except as otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement, release Parent or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Guaranty hereunder or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and except in connection with a “credit bid” undertaken by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or other sale or disposition of assets in connection with an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents (in which case only the consent of the Requisite Lenders will be needed for such release)), without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(vii) amend Section 10.04 to impose additional restrictions on Lender’s ability to assign;

(viii) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof);

(ix) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or any Security Document so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Loan Documents and Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreement or the definition of “Lender Counterparty,” “Hedging Obligations,” “Obligations,” “Secured Hedging Agreements” or “Secured Obligations” (as defined in any applicable Security Document) in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty; provided that this clause (ix) shall be subject to Section 2.23; or

159

(x) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of the Loan Documents as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision thereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, firstly, by reducing the amount of interest required to be paid in respect of such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 2.08, as applicable, and secondly, by reducing all other Charges required to be paid in respect of such Loan which would constitute “interest” under applicable law. To the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

160

SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.11 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT

SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,”

161

“signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Documents, Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Security Document with respect to such Security Document only:

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America, in each case, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, against any Loan Party or their respective properties or assets in the courts of any Covered Jurisdiction.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, in any New York State or Federal court (other than with respect to actions by any Agent in respect of rights under any Security Document governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York or with respect to any Collateral subject thereto). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party hereto agrees that (i) service of all process in any such action or proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable Person at its address provided in accordance with Section 10.01, (ii) agrees that service as provided in the foregoing clause (i) is sufficient to confer personal

162

jurisdiction over the applicable Person in any such action or proceeding in any such court, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect and (iii) agrees that the parties hereto retain the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Document or the enforcement of any rights under any judgment.

(d) Each Foreign Loan Party hereby irrevocably and irreversibly appoints Alcatel Lucent-USA Inc., with an office at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, as its agent for service of process with broad powers to receive, on such Guarantor’s behalf and in its name, summons, notices, citations and any other form of communication whatsoever in connection or within the context of any lawsuit, arbitration proceeding, dispute or any other type of proceeding conducted before NY courts involving the Guarantor and arising in connection with, resulting from or in any way related to any Loan Document. The agent for service of process shall also have powers to sign forms, certificates, notices, documents, receipts and requirements on behalf of such Guarantor, and, so, perform any and all acts necessary for the good and faithful fulfillment of the powers granted hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, any summon, notice, citation or any other form of communication whatsoever served to the agent for service of process, on behalf of the Guarantor, shall be deemed as having been served to the Guarantor itself for all legal purposes. Guarantor shall not revoke any of the powers granted to the agent for service of process to act as its attorney-in-fact, which shall remain in full force and effect at least until the later of (i) termination of this Agreement; or (ii) the final settlement of the last lawsuit, arbitration proceeding, dispute or any other type of proceeding which could arise in connection with, result from or in any way relate to any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), it being understood and agreed by the Loan Parties that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose the Information to the Lenders, and each Agent and each Lender may make disclosures of the Information (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, partners, members, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other experts and advisors, on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof, and reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other confidential treatment for the applicable Information, to the extent not prohibited by law), (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Affiliates (in which case such Person agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof if permitted by law), (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or no less restrictive than those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated

163

assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or Commitments or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (g) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 or (j) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For the purposes of this Section 10.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from any Loan Party and related to a Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that was available to any Agent or any Lender other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16; provided that, in the case of Information received from any Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.18. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party and each other Person providing security for the Obligations that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party and each such other Person, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and each such other Person and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party and each such other Person in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.19. No Fiduciary Duty. The Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or

agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 10.20. Collateral Agent as Creditor – Parallel Debt. (a) Each of the Secured Parties agrees, and Parent and each other Loan Party (provided that for the purposes of this Section 10.20, “Loan Party” shall also include Stratus World Trade Corporation) acknowledges by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (the “Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt”), that each and every Obligation of any such Loan Party (and any of its successors pursuant to this Agreement) under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements shall also be owing in full to the Collateral Agent (and each of the latter’s successors under this Agreement), and that accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own separate and independent claim to receive payment and its own independent right to demand performance by such Loan Party of those obligations. The payment undertaking of each Loan Party to the Collateral Agent under its Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt is irrevocable and unconditional. The Collateral Agent undertakes towards the relevant Loan Party that in case of any discharge of any such Obligation owing to an Agent or a Secured Party, it will, to the same extent, not make a claim against that Loan Party under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Loan Party shall have all defenses against claims of the Collateral Agent hereunder as it has against the primary obligation. The obligations under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of each primary obligation and shall be due and payable at the same time as the primary obligation. An Event of Default in respect of the primary obligation shall constitute a default (verzuim) within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the obligations under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt without any notice being required. Where and to the extent the obligations of a Loan Party under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt have been irrevocably paid or discharged, the corresponding obligations of that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement shall be decreased to the same extent and where the obligations of a Loan Party under the Loan Documents or Secured Hedging Agreements have been irrevocably paid or discharged, the corresponding obligations of a Loan Party under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt shall be irrevocably decreased or discharged to the same extent.

165

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether hereunder or under any other provision of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedging Agreements), the Agent agrees with each other Secured Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights under the Acknowledgement of Parallel Debt in relation to a Secured Party except with the consent of the relevant Secured Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document as contemplated by this Agreement, the relevant Security Document, any other Loan Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing) or any Secured Hedging Agreement. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or any other Secured Party) hereby notifies each Loan Party and each other Person providing security for the Obligations that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party and each such other Person, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and each such other Person and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party and each such other Person in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.21. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment in given. The obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from a Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, the Loan Parties jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 10.22. Limitations Act, 2002. Each of the parties hereto agree that any and all limitation periods provided for in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) shall be excluded from application to the Obligations and any undertaking, covenant, indemnity or other agreement of any Canadian Guarantor provided for in any Loan Document to which it is a party in respect thereof, in each case to fullest extent permitted by such Act.

166

SECTION 10.23. Time. Time is of the essence in all respects hereof.

SECTION 10.24. Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then each Canadian Guarantor’s Obligations, to the extent such Obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations.

SECTION 10.25. Power of Attorney (Netherlands). If any Loan Party formed, incorporated or organized under the laws of the Netherlands is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement (including by way of accession to this Agreement) or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in or made pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands.

Schedule 1.01(c)

Mandatory Costs

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Euro Term Loan Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Euro Term Loan Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Euro Term Loan Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Euro Term Loan Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Euro Term Loan Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified in writing by such Euro Term Loan Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Euro Term Loan Lender in its written notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Euro Term Loan Lender’s participation in all Euro Term Loans made from such Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from such Facility Office.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Euro Term Loan Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:


		A x 0.01		per cent. per annum.
		300		per cent. per annum.

Where A above is designed to compensate Euro Term Loan Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“Fees Rules” shall mean the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits.

(b)

“Fee Tariffs” shall mean the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under Column 1 of the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate).

(c)

“Facility Office” shall mean, in respect of a Euro Term Loan Lender, the office or offices notified by such Euro Term Loan Lender to the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Euro Term Loan Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)

“Participating Member State” shall mean any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union.

(e)

“Reference Banks” shall mean the principal London offices of Credit Suisse AG (or a nominated Affiliate thereof) and two other Euro Term Loan Lenders (or their Affiliates) selected by the Administrative Agent, in each case, with respect to a Facility Office located in a Participating Member State or such other banks as may be appointed by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

(f)

“Tariff Base” shall have the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

Each Euro Term Loan Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Euro Term Loan Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Euro Term Loan Lender:

(a)

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b)

any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Euro Term Loan Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of A above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Euro Term Loan Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Euro Term Loan Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Euro Term Loan Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Euro Term Loan Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10.

The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Euro Term Loan Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Euro Term Loan Lender based on the information provided by each Euro Term Loan Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

11.

Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Euro Term Loan Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

12.

The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Euro Term Loan Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to this Agreement any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement.

As disclosed in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, from in or around 1998 through in or around 2007, within the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere, Alcatel Lucent knowingly circumvented and knowingly failed to implement a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions were executed in accordance with management’s general and specific authorization; (ii) transactions were recorded as necessary (I) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and any other criteria applicable to such statements, and (II) to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets was permitted only in accordance with management’s general and specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets was compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action was taken with respect to any differences, to wit: Alcatel Lucent knowingly: (a) failed to implement sufficient anti-bribery compliance policies and procedures; (b) failed to maintain a sufficient system for the selection and approval of consultants, which, in turn, permitted corrupt conduct to occur at certain subsidiaries; (c) entered into purported business consulting agreements with no apparent basis, and without performing any due diligence, sometimes after the company had already won the relevant project; (d) failed to verify information provided by consultants, including failing to follow up in circumstances in which managers knew or were substantially certain illicit activity was taking place; (e) failed to prevent consultants from using multiple shell companies to receive commissions in excess of 10% knowing there was a substantial likelihood those consultants were acting as conduits for corrupt payments; (f) failed to conduct appropriate audits of payments to purported business consultants; (g) failed to prohibit lump sum payments being made to consultants that did not correspond to any contract; (h) failed to prohibit payments to consultants and public officials pursuant to an oral “gentlemen’s agreement”; (i) failed to appropriately investigate and respond to allegations of corrupt payments and discipline employees involved in making corrupt payments; G) failed to establish a sufficiently empowered and competent Corporate Compliance Office; (k) failed to exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; (1) failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the company’s compliance and ethics program was followed, including monitoring and internal audits to detect criminal conduct; (m) failed to evaluate regularly the effectiveness of the company’s compliance and ethics program; and (n) failed to provide appropriate incentives to perform in accordance with the compliance and ethics program; all in violation of Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Sections 78m(b)(2)(B), 78m(b)(5), and 78ff(a), and Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Section 2.

As disclosed in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, from in or around 1998 to in or around 2007, in the Southern District of Florida and elsewhere, Alcatel Lucent knowingly falsified and caused to be falsified books, records, and accounts required to, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Alcatel Lucent, to wit: Alcatel Lucent: (a) drafted sham business consulting agreements to justify third party payments; (b) mischaracterized bribes in the corporate books and records as consulting fees and other seemingly legitimate expenses; (c) justified payments to purported business consultants based on false invoices; and (d) entered into purported business consulting agreements with no basis, sometimes after Alcatel Lucent had won the relevant project; all in violation of Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Sections 78m(b)(2)(A), 78m(b)(5), and 78ff(a), and Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Section 2.

U.S. With regard to U.S. Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights owned by the Grantors as of January 15, 2013, the Grantors (as that term is defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement, the “Grantors”) shall comply with the terms of Sections 4.3(a)(i), 4.3(b)(i) and 4.3(c) of the Pledge and Security Agreement before or on the Closing Date and shall file and deliver to the Collateral Agent reasonably satisfactory evidence of the filing of all the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreements in the U.S. within five days of the Closing Date.

France

Patents. With respect to all French (national) Patents and Patent applications filed with which have designated France or may cover France when issued (“EPO and PCT Patents”) owned by the Grantors as of January 15, 2013 as to which all necessary legal status information in the records of the applicable intellectual property office or agency is current, the Grantors shall comply with the terms of Section 4.3(a)(ii) of the Pledge and Security Agreement within 30 days of the Closing Date and shall, contemporaneously therewith, file the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or an application for registration of the same) with the appropriate intellectual property office or agency, on an expedited filing basis (if available), and shall promptly thereafter deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence of such filing to the Collateral Agent and shall provide updates on the status of recordation thereafter pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of this Agreement or as requested by the Collateral Agent. For these purposes it is understood that more than one Intellectual Property Security Agreement may be executed and filed to permit perfection of those French (national) Patents and EPO and PCT Patents in a staggered manner. With respect to all other French (national) Patents and EPO and PCT Patents owned by a Grantor as of January 15, 2013 the following procedure shall apply:

Within 15 days from the Closing Date, the Grantors shall confer with the Collateral Agent to fully identify the nature of any legal or regulatory impediments to filing an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (such as, e.g., record title issues) with respect to the remaining Patents and to agree on how and when such impediments will be eliminated with priority being given to expediting the time to filing through use of reasonable best efforts;

ii.

The Grantors shall use reasonable best efforts to remove such impediments, with priority given based on the assessment under Grantor’s internal patent ranking system (i.e., beginning with the “0’s” in the “0” to “4” scale), and the Grantors shall provide the Collateral Agent with periodic updates on such efforts on no less than a monthly basis, including identification of Patents which have been cleared, until such filing is made at the appropriate intellectual property office or agency;

iii.

At the Collateral Agent’s request, the Grantors shall comply with the requirements of Section 4.3(a)(ii) of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the cleared Patents and shall provide any additional documentation necessary due to the staggered manner of the filings; and

iv.

Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Grantors shall remove all legal or regulatory impediments that would prevent the Collateral Agent from making effective filings for the perfection of security interests for all French (national) Patents and EPO and PCT Patents owned by the Grantors within 180 days from the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the timing obligations provided herein are subject to the last sentence of Section 4.5 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

Trademarks. With regard to French (national) Trademarks and applications for Trademarks filed with and which have designated France or may cover France when registered (“CTM and WIPO Trademark”) owned by the Grantors as of January 15, 2013, the Grantors shall comply with the terms of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Pledge and Security Agreement within 30 days of the Closing Date and shall, contemporaneously therewith, file the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the appropriate intellectual property office or agency, on an expedited filing basis (if available), and shall promptly deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence of the filing of the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreements with the appropriate intellectual property office or agency to the Collateral Agent. The Grantors shall provide updates regarding the status of the filing(s) pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of this Agreement or as requested by the Collateral Agent until such filing is effective and of record and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence of the recording of the Trademark filings required to be made pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Pledge and Security Agreement with regard to French Trademarks and CTM and WIPO Trademarks owned by the Grantors as of the January 15, 2013 promptly after the receipt thereof from the appropriate intellectual property office or agency.

Trademarks and Patents to be Abandoned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, Grantor shall not be required to record any update to the name or address or any other legal status or information for the owner on file in the records of the applicable intellectual property office or agency for any French (national) Patent or Trademark, any EPO and PCT Patent, or any CTM and WIPO Trademark that Grantor has decided to abandon as of January 15, 2013, as expressly indicated on Schedule 5.2 to the Pledge and Security Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Canada and the U.K. With regard to Canadian and U.K. (national) Patents owned by the Grantors as of January 15, 2013, the Grantors shall comply with the terms of Section 4.3(a)(iii)(A) of the Pledge and Security Agreement within five Business Days of the Closing Date and shall, contemporaneously therewith, file the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the appropriate intellectual property office or agency and shall promptly deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence of the filing of the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreements in Canada and the U.K. to the Collateral Agent.

Germany. With regard to German (national) Patents owned by Grantors as of January 15, 2013, Grantors shall comply with the terms of Section 4.3(a)(iii)(A) of the Pledge and Security Agreement within 30 days of the Closing Date.

Korea. With regard to Patents in the Republic of Korea owned by Grantors as of January 15, 2013, Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the terms of Section 4.3(a)(iii)(A) of the Pledge and Security Agreement within 30 days of the Closing Date, but in any event shall comply within 90 days of the Closing Date.

Japan.

The Grantors and Collateral Agent shall agree on a plan for filing and recordation of the security interests in Patents owned by such Grantors in Japan in compliance with Sections 4.3(a)(iii)(A) and (B) of the Pledge and Security Agreement (which could include a determination by the Collateral Agent not to make filings with respect to certain such Patents) within five Business Days of the Closing Date. The plan shall set forth the further steps, if any, agreed upon by the Grantors and the Collateral Agent to create a valid and perfected security interest in the Patents in Japan, with the understanding that the considerations to be taken into account may include, but shall not be limited to, (i) legal or regulatory limitations that may prevent creation of security interest in Patent applications, (ii) any risks (including to the title, validity or enforceability of Patents) under applicable laws, regulations or rules associated with the assignment of Patents for collateral purposes, and (iii) that additional documentation may be required to be prepared and executed to memorialize that the Patents in such jurisdictions are only a portion of the Collateral pledged against the Secured Obligations or to provide for a collateral assignment arrangement. The plan shall also set forth the responsibilities and obligations of the Grantors and the Collateral Agent’s participation with respect to recording and filing of the security interests in Patents owned by such Grantors in Japan. In connection with the rights and obligations in this Section 6(a) and Section 6(b) it is the intention of Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties (x) to make filings in the most cost effective manner, and (y) that, in no event, shall the filing fees paid to appropriate intellectual property offices or agencies in connection therewith, pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(iii)(A) of the Pledge and Security Agreement and this Section 6(a) (as it pertains to Section 4.3(a)(iii)(A) of the Pledge and Security Agreement) with regard to Patents in Japan, exceed $460,000 (the “Japan Filing Fee Cap”).⁶⁸

In the event that the Collateral Agent determines that legal or regulatory impediments or the costs of creating a perfected security interest in the Patents in Japan would be impractical or exceed the Japan Filing Fee Cap, the Collateral Agent may require recordation and filings for security interests in Patents in other jurisdictions not provided for in Sections 4.3(a)(iii)(A) and (B) of the Pledge and Security Agreement in lieu of filing in Japan, so long as the filing costs for such alternative jurisdictions do not exceed the Japan Filing Fee Cap.

With respect to Patents in Japan acquired after January 15, 2013 and covered by Section 4.3(a)(iii)(B) of the Pledge and Security Agreement, the filing fees paid to appropriate intellectual property offices or agencies shall not exceed $250.00 per Patent; provided, however, that if in accordance with the above, the Collateral Agent files in an alternative jurisdiction in lieu of filing in Japan, it is agreed that the filing fees in such alternative jurisdiction shall not exceed $250.00 per Patent, provided, further, that if 40 or more

⁶⁸	Collateral Agent determined the Japan Filing Fee Cap based on a calculation of 0.4% of (Total Number of Issued Japanese Patents / Total Number of Issued Patents and Applications Less Japanese Applications as of January 15, 2013) multiplied by (the amount of the Loans).

Patents are acquired by, or transferred or assigned to, the Grantors from a third party in a single transaction, Borrower and the Collateral Agent shall engage in discussions to evaluate in good faith a potential reduction to the aforementioned maximum filing fee payable to the appropriate intellectual property offices or agencies, with the understanding that the considerations to be taken into account may include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the considerations set forth in above subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 6(a) and (ii) whether the costs of obtaining a security interest or perfection in such Patents are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby.

Certain After Acquired IP. With respect to any French Intellectual Property, German (national) Patents, Korean Patents and Japanese Patents listed in a Quarterly New IP and Specified Patent Report, each Grantor shall comply with the requirements of Sections 4.3(a)(ii), 4.3(a)(iii)(B) and 4.3(b)(ii) within 30 days of delivery of the applicable Quarterly New IP and Specified Patent Report in order to ensure that the Collateral Agent has, or will have, a valid, perfected, first priority security interest in such Collateral.

Except as otherwise provided specifically herein, but without limitation of any provisions of this Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement, it is understood that any fees and costs incident to the Collateral Agent’s filing, recordation and actions necessary to perfect as contemplated by the Intellectual Property provisions of this Schedule 5.16 will be borne by Parent and Borrower in accordance with Section 10.05 of this Agreement.

The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent, Certificated Securities constituting Collateral, pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Pledge and Security Agreement for those Restricted Subsidiaries listed in Schedule 5.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement in the table entitled “Pledged Foreign Equity by Foreign Grantors (Non-Covered Jurisdictions),” (to the extent the Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries constitutes Certificated Securities) including transfer powers or other instruments or transfer duly endorsed by such an effective endorsement, in each case, to the Collateral Agent or in blank; provided that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require any Restricted Subsidiary to reissue any such Certificated Securities to the extent such certificates are not in the possession or reasonable control of any Loan Party; provided, further that if the Borrower delivers an officer’s certificate certifying that the jurisdiction for which the Subsidiary is organized (which in no event shall include France, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Wales, Canada, Brazil or the U.S.) requires the owner of such Capital Stock to hold the Capital Stock in order to vote such Capital Stock, then such holder may hold the Capital Stock until such time as there is an Event of Default which is continuing and at such time, the Collateral Agent may request the immediate delivery thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the relief from the requirement of this provision to deliver Certificated Securities that is set forth in the immediately preceding sentence apply to “Designated Non-Cash Consideration” as defined in this Agreement.

Within 90 days of the Closing Date, or such later date as may be reasonably agreed by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent any counterpart signatures to the Subordinated Intercompany Note, together with an effective endorsement duly endorsed in blank, in each case, that have not been received as of the Closing Date and that are otherwise required to have been so received.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Grantor (or, with respect to Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) below, each Grantor that is not Parent or a Foreign Subsidiary) hereby represents and warrants on and as of (a) the Closing Date and (b) each other date specified in the Credit Agreement that:

5.1 Grantor Information and Status. (a) Schedules 5.1(A) and (B) (as such schedules may be amended or supplemented from time to time) set forth under the appropriate headings: (i) the full legal name of such Grantor, (ii) all trade names or other names under which such Grantor currently conducts business, (iii) the type of organization of such Grantor, (iv) the jurisdiction of organization of such Grantor, (v) its organizational identification number, if any, and (vi) the jurisdiction where the chief executive office or its sole place of business (or the principal residence if such Grantor is a natural person) is located.

(b) except as provided in Schedule 5.1(C), it has not changed its name, jurisdiction of organization, chief executive office or sole place of business (or principal residence if such Grantor is a natural person) or its corporate structure in any way (e.g., by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise) and has not done business under any other name, in each case, within the past five years;

(c) other than with respect to Permitted Liens, it has not within the past five years become bound (whether as a result of merger or otherwise) as debtor under a security agreement entered into by another Person, which has not heretofore been terminated; and

(d) such Grantor has been duly organized and is validly existing as an entity of the type as set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule 5.1(A) solely under the laws of the jurisdiction as set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule 5.1(A). Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(A), such Grantor has not filed any certificates of dissolution or liquidation, any certificates of domestication, transfer or continuance in any other jurisdiction.

5.2 Collateral Identification, Special Collateral. (a) Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth under the appropriate headings all of such Grantor’s: (i) Pledged Equity Interests that constitute Collateral, (ii) United States and foreign registrations and issuances of and applications for Patents and Trademarks (other than Internet domain name registrations), Internet domain registrations constituting Material Intellectual Property existing as of January 15, 2013, U.S. Copyright registrations or exclusive rights to registered U.S. Copyrights under 17

E-1-23

U.S.C. § 201(d)(2); provided that, with respect to U.S. registered Copyrights, such Grantor’s obligations under this Section 5.2(a) shall be limited to using reasonable best efforts to provide a complete list of all such Copyrights, and (iii) material Intellectual Property Licenses (excluding (x) licenses and sublicenses (including covenants-not-to-xxx) in the ordinary course of business other than in connection with a Patent Monetization Program and (y) licenses and sublicenses (including covenants-not-to-xxx) that are subject to confidentiality provisions that expressly prohibit such Grantor from disclosing the existence of such license; provided that the total number and general subject matter of such licenses is set forth on Section 5.2(a)(iii)); provided, further, that the Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 5.2 on the Closing Date shall reflect only such Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor as of January 15, 2013; and

Each agreement purporting to give the Collateral Agent Control over any Uncertificated Securities constituting Collateral is effective to establish the Collateral Agent’s Control of the Collateral subject thereto;

(b) with respect to Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (including exclusive rights to U.S. Copyrights) arising under United States law and to the extent perfection or priority of the security interest therein is not subject to Article 9 of the UCC, upon the timely recordation of the security interests granted hereunder in Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights or exclusive rights to U.S. Copyrights under 17 U.S.C. § 201(d)(2) in the applicable intellectual property registries, including but not limited to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder in such Collateral shall constitute valid, perfected, first priority Liens (subject, in the case of priority only, to Permitted Prior Liens); and

(b) Except with respect to the pledge by Parent or any Foreign Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary organized in a jurisdiction other than a Covered Jurisdiction, no consent of any Person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Pledged Equity Interests that constitute Collateral or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof except such as have been obtained; and

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty with respect to the recordation or filing status of the name of the owner of any Intellectual Property recorded or on file in the records of the applicable Intellectual Property office or any other similar Governmental Authority;

(b) Schedule 5.2 includes all U.S. and French Patents categorized by Global IP as “0’s”, “1’s” and “2’s” on Global IP’s “Review and Valuations of Alcatel Lucent’s Patent Portfolio”, dated December 2012;

6.5 Pledged Equity Interests, Investment Related Property. (a) Except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Pledged Equity Interest that constitutes Collateral or other Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral (except in the case of distributions, to the extent such distributions are in the form of property or assets that would not otherwise constitute Collateral; provided that the form of such assets was not chosen solely in order to avoid the applicability of this provision), upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer, then (i) such dividends, interest, distributions, Securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (ii) such Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) to the extent required by Sections 4.1 and 4.2 and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, Securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such Grantor.

(b) (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, except as otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to Investment Related Property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and

E-1-29

(b) it shall not, except where not commercially unreasonable, with respect to any material Trademarks owned by such Grantor, cease the use of any of such Trademarks or fail to maintain the level of the quality of products sold and services rendered under any of such Trademark at a level at least substantially consistent with the quality of such products and services as of the Closing Date, and such Grantor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that licensees of such Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality, in each case;

E-1-30

advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.

SECTION 7. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.

7.1 Further Assurances Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the cost and expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that are reasonably necessary, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of (in each case, to the extent required or reasonably contemplated hereunder, under the other Security Documents or under the Credit Agreement) and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Credit Agreement with respect to any Collateral.

The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent set forth in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

8.3 Appointment Pursuant to Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The rights, duties, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. REMEDIES.

9.1 Generally

Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement:

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(ii) during reasonable business hours, enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and

(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license, sublicense (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(b) The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral (or, in the case of any Designated L/C Facility Counterparty, any or all of the Shared Collateral) at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral or Shared Collateral, as applicable, being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral

E-1-34

sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply (x) any of the Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Obligations) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral (other than Shared Collateral) payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale and (y) any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Shared Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If (i) the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (other than Shared Collateral) are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations (other than the Designated L/C Obligations) or (ii) the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Shared Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect any such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.1 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.1 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

9.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, promptly by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.

E-1-35

9.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

9.4 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock that constitutes Collateral to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property that constitutes Collateral which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

9.5 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, an irrevocable (upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

E-1-36

9.6 Intellectual Property. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any rights of such Grantor with respect to Intellectual Property constituting Collateral, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do all lawful acts and execute all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 12 in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any such rights as provided in this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;

(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any other Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, any such Intellectual Property;

(iv) within five Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Trademarks or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default;

(v) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of any Intellectual Property of such Grantor constituting Collateral, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the

E-1-37

Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;

(vi) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7; and

(vii) such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any amount received by such Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to any Intellectual Property of such Grantor constituting Collateral shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Obligations) shall not have become immediately due and payable, then upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided, further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.

9.7 Cash Proceeds.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 6.4 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (a) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (but, with respect to the Designated L/C Facility Counterparties, only to the extent of Cash Proceeds of Shared Collateral), as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (and in the case of the Designated L/C Facility Counterparties, the Designated L/C Obligations) (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (b) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations including, to the extent applicable, the Designated L/C Facility Counterparties then due and owing.

E-1-38

SECTION 10. COLLATERAL AGENT.

The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Secured Hedging Agreements), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of the holders (the “Majority Holders”) of a majority of the aggregate “settlement amount” as defined in the Secured Hedging Agreements (or, with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Secured Hedging Agreement) under all Secured Hedging Agreements. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, settlement amount for any Secured Hedging Agreement that has not been terminated shall be the settlement amount as of the last Business Day of the month preceding any date of determination and shall be calculated by the appropriate Lender Counterparties and reported to the Collateral Agent upon request; provided that any Secured Hedging Agreement with a settlement amount that is a negative number shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Majority Holders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10 and with the terms of Article IX of the Credit Agreement The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein, and such incorporation shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, subject to the Borrower’s right pursuant to Section 9.08(d) of the Credit Agreement to request termination of the security interest upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of Secured Hedging Agreements or unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations and the termination of all Commitments, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person

E-1-39

shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of Secured Hedging Agreements or unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.

SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not have any obligation to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 13. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE.

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding that the terms of the other Security Documents shall prevail in accordance with Section 2.1(e), the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Liens created hereby, and the obligations of the Grantors under this Agreement shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including: (i) the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations or any other change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or deletion from, any Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or related thereto, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any waiver of,

E-1-40

consent to or departure from, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any of the Secured Obligations, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or other instrument or agreement relating thereto, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Secured Obligations, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any such other instrument or agreement relating thereto; (iii) any furnishing of any additional security (including any assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, upon which a Lien is created or granted from time to time pursuant to the other Security Documents) to the Collateral Agent or any other Person or any acceptance thereof by the Collateral Agent or any other Person or any substitution, sale, exchange, release, surrender or realization of or upon any such security by the Collateral Agent or any other Person or the failure to create, preserve, validate, perfect or protect any other Lien granted to, or purported to be granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral Agent or any other Person; (iv) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or related thereto or of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or of any security therefor; (v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; (vi) any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Secured Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of any Grantor or may preclude any Grantor from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery and even though the Grantor may or may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency; (vii) any act or omission of the Collateral Agent or any other Person (other than payment of the Secured Obligations) that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Grantor or any part of the Secured Obligations or any security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the Secured Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; (viii) the election by the Collateral Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ix) any extension of credit or the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (x) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (xi) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (xii) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for any reason; (xiii) any insolvency or liquidation proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any part of the Secured Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Secured Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xiv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor, except as otherwise provided herein.

(b) Each Grantor hereby expressly waives, to the maximum extent permitted by the laws applicable to such Grantor and notwithstanding that the terms of the other Security Documents shall prevail in accordance with Section 2.1(e), (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest; (ii) filing of claims with any court; (iii) any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Loan Documents; (iv) notice of acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by any Secured Party; (v) notice of the creation of any Secured Obligations, and (except with respect to any notice required by the applicable Loan Documents relating to the Secured Obligations) any other notice whatsoever; (vi) any requirement that the Collateral Agent exhausts any right, power or remedy, or proceed or take any other action against any Grantor under any Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party or any Lien on, or any claim of payment against, any property of any Grantor or any other

E-1-41

agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any other Person under any guarantee of, or Lien securing, or claim for payment of, any of the Secured Obligations; (vii) any right to require the Collateral Agent to marshal any Collateral or any other assets or to exhaust any right or take any action against any Grantor or any other Person or any collateral or otherwise, or any diligence in collection or protection for realization upon any Secured Obligations; (viii) any obligation hereunder or any collateral security for any of the foregoing; (ix) any claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise; and (x) all other defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, recoupments, reductions, limitations, impairments or terminations, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. Each Grantor further waives (A) any requirement that any other Person be joined as a party to any proceeding for the enforcement by the Collateral Agent of any Secured Obligations and (B) the filing of claims by the Collateral Agent in the event of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding of any Grantor.

(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding that the terms of the other Security Documents shall prevail in accordance with Section 2.1(e):

(i) any claim that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale, should the Collateral Agent elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially reasonable method of sale for the Collateral;

(ii) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Collateral Agent any offsets or counterclaims that it may have;

(iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by applicable law, any notice as to the time, place and terms of sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral and any other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder;

(iv) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and extension or moratorium;

(v) any and all rights it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the Collateral Agent’s enforcement of its rights or remedies hereunder, including the rights upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to dispose thereof; and

(vi) all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral, now or hereafter in force under any applicable law, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and rights (other than the defense of payment).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Liens created hereby, and the obligations of the Grantors under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Schedule 13(d).

E-1-42

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE, BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).

E-1-43

THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 11.11, 11.15 AND 11.22 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, AS IF FULLY SET FORTH HEREIN, AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

[The remainder of this page lift intentionally blank]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

MODIFIED DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES

This Outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.04(k) of the Credit Agreement, of which this Exhibit J is a part (the “Auction Procedures”). It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a modified Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable auction procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties, makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Loans to the Borrower or any Affiliated Lender (as applicable, the “Purchaser”) pursuant to the Offer Documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties, in its capacity as a Lender be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this Auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

1. Summary. The Purchaser may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Loans (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein.

2. Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Purchaser will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders), substantially in the form of Annex A to this Exhibit J, of the Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (such notification, an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain: (a) the maximum principal amount of Loans that the Purchaser is willing to purchase in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (b) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Purchaser would be willing to purchase Loans in the Auction; and (c) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, as such date and time may be extended (such time, the “Expiration Time”) for a period not exceeding three Business Days upon notice by the Purchaser to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided, however, that only one extension per offer shall be permitted (unless otherwise approved by the Auction Manager). An Auction shall be regarded as a “Failed Auction” in the event that either (i) the Purchaser withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids having been received. In the event of a Failed Auction, the Purchaser shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring five Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be.

3. Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation substantially in the form of Annex B to this Exhibit J (the “Return Bid”) which shall specify (a) a discount to par expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) of Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (b) the principal amount of Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided that a Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and/or incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount

J-1

comprises the entire amount of Loans held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption. The Purchaser will not purchase any Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

4. Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Purchaser, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Purchaser to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Loans for which the Purchaser has received Qualifying Bids (as defined below)). The Purchaser shall purchase Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

5. Proration Procedures. All Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Loans to be purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Purchaser shall purchase the Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. No Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

6. Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid (as defined below).

7. Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Purchaser may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of Loans by the

J-2

Purchaser required by the terms and conditions of Section 10.04(k) or 10.04(l) of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price for each purchase of Loans shall be paid by the Purchaser directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Purchaser (which shall be no later than 10 Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). The Purchaser shall execute each applicable Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Purchaser, which determination will be final and binding. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Purchaser, will be final and binding.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Purchaser, the Loan Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates (whether contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

This Exhibit J shall not require the Purchaser to initiate any Auction.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Alcatel-Lucent Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Alcatel Lucent, a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of France (“Parent”), and each of their respective Subsidiaries (such Subsidiaries, together with the Borrower, Holdings and Parent, collectively, the “Group Members” and each, a “Group Member”) which is a party to this subordinated intercompany note (this “Note”) promises to pay to the order of such other Group Member as makes loans to such Group Member (each Group Member which borrows money pursuant to this Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Group Member that is a Loan Party which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Note is referred to herein as a “Payee”), in accordance with the terms as separately agreed, in Dollars, Euros or in any other applicable currency in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the applicable Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule A attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the books and records of such Payee. The failure to show any such Indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. This subordinated intercompany note (this “Note”) is subject to the terms of the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2013 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, including any successor thereto in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, including any successor thereto in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and the other Agents party thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Interest shall be due and payable at such times as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Interest shall be paid in Dollars, Euros or in any other applicable currency and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days.

Each Payor and any endorser of this Note hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Note has been pledged by each Payee to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) (the “Secured Obligations”). Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise any and all of the rights of each Payee under this Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.

Parent agrees that any and all claims of Parent against any Payor or any endorser of this Note, or against any of their respective properties or assets, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until all Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect

L-1

of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired; provided that each Payor may make payments to Parent in respect of this Note so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Payor has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, in each case, subject to applicable law. Notwithstanding any right of Parent to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of Parent, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any asset or property of any Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to secure payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in such assets and properties. Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, Parent shall have no right to possession of any such asset or property or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset or property, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired.

If all or any part of the assets or property of any Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of any Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Payor is dissolved or if all or substantially all of the assets of any Payor are sold (in each case, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents), then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of such Payor to any Payee (“Payor Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for application to any of the Secured Obligations, due or to become due, until the date on which all Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired. Each Payee irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Collateral Agent as such Payee’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Collateral Agent’s own name or in the name of such Payee or otherwise, as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Note. The Collateral Agent may vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding (and the applicable Payee shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Security Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by any Payee upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee prior to such time as all Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, such Payee shall receive and hold the same for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Collateral Agent’s judgment), for application to any of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Collateral Agent, the

L-2

Collateral Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Payee agrees that until all Secured Obligations (other than Designated L/C Facility Obligations, Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and any unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted reimbursement obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, such Payee will not (a) assign or transfer, or agree to assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement or otherwise) any claim such Payee has or may have against any Payor, or (b) amend, modify, supplement, waive or fail to enforce any provision of this Note in any way that adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, in each case, except as permitted under the Loan Documents.

The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be third party beneficiaries hereof and shall be entitled to enforce the subordination and other provisions hereof.

This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Note (a) replaces and supersedes any and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on or before the date hereof by any party hereto to any other party hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries, and (b) shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any party hereto to any other party hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries.

THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The terms and provisions of this Note are severable, and if any term or provision shall be determined to be superseded, illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part pursuant to applicable law by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, such determination shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that term or provision in any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this Note in any jurisdiction.

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page to this Note (each such additional Person, an “Additional Party”). Upon execution and delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor and each Payee expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected, reduced or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.

This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Note by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Note.
