In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs, assumes, guarantees or redeems any Indebtedness or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or preferred stock subsequent to the commencement of the Measurement Period for which the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is being calculated but prior to the Determination Date, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, assumption, guarantee or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower.

rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(c) Notice of any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 5.1 may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such prepayment or notice may, at the Borrower’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

5.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, the Lenders may require the Borrower to make an offer to purchase all of the Loans pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Lenders to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first class mail to the Administrative Agent and each Lender with the following information:

(1) a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) and that all Lenders may accept payment for their Loans;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) any Loans not accepted for payment will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) unless the Borrower defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Loans accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) Lenders electing to have any Loans purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the promissory notes, if any, with the form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent at the address specified herein prior to the close of business on the third business day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their Loans offered for prepayment and their election to require the Borrower to prepay such Loans, provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the Business Day that is one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of Loans accepted for prepayment, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing his offered Loans and his election to have such Loans prepaid; and

(7) that Lenders whose Loans are being prepaid only in part may elect to have new promissory notes issued equal in amount to the principal amount of Loans not prepaid, which portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, (1) accept for payment all Loans or portions thereof properly offered for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Loans or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent for cancellation the Loans so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Loans or portions thereof have been accepted and prepaid by the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender the Change of Control Payment for such Loans, and, upon request, the Administrative Agent will mail to each Lender new promissory notes equal in principal amount to any portion of the Loans not prepaid by the Borrower, which new promissory notes shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 in an integral multiple thereof. The Borrower shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(b) Asset Sale Prepayment Offer.

(1) Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (and Event of Loss Proceeds) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 10.7 shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the

Borrower shall make an offer to all Lenders, and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to prepay the maximum principal amount of Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, that is an integral multiple of $1,000 that may be prepaid out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall select the Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(2) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds) pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds) temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds) in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(3) If less than all of the Loans or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are to be prepaid at any time, selection of such Loans for redemption, will be made by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that Loans shall be prepaid in integrals of $1,000.

(4) Notices of prepayment shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the prepayment date for Loans to be prepaid at each Lender’s registered address. If any Loan is to be prepaid in part only, any notice of prepayment that relates to such Loan shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be prepaid.

(5) A new Loan in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or unredeemed portion of any Loan purchased or redeemed in part shall be issued in the name of the Lender thereof upon cancellation of the original Loan. On and after the prepayment date, unless the Borrower does not complete such prepayment, interest shall cease to accrue on Loan or portions thereof purchased or called for redemption.

(c) Procedures for Lenders to Accept Mandatory Prepayment Offers; Withdrawal of Acceptance of a Mandatory Prepayment Offer. In order to accept any Mandatory Prepayment Offer, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing as instructed by the Administrative Agent in such notice of prepayment prior to the Mandatory Offer Election Time of such Lender’s election to require the Borrower to prepay all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans (“Put Loans”) pursuant to such Mandatory Prepayment Offer (which, in the case of any election to require less than all of such Lender’s Loans to be prepaid in such Mandatory Prepayment Offer, shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple thereof) and shall specify the amount of such Lender’s Loans which such Lender requests be prepaid in such Mandatory Prepayment Offer. In order to validly withdraw any election with respect to any Put Loans in any Mandatory Prepayment Offer, the Lender holding such Put Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing at its address for notices contained in this Agreement prior to the Mandatory Offer Election Time of such Lender’s election to withdraw such Put Loans from such

Mandatory Prepayment Offer, which notification shall include a copy of such Lender’s previous notification electing to have its Put Loans prepaid in such Mandatory Prepayment Offer and shall state that such election is withdrawn. The Administrative Agent shall from time to time, upon request by the Borrower, advise the Borrower of the amount of Put Loans with respect to any Mandatory Prepayment Offer.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment with Proceeds of Take-Out Securities. On the date of receipt by the Borrower of any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Take-Out Securities, the Loans shall be prepaid at par plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment (without prepayment penalty or premium) by the Borrower in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

5.3 Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All payments under each Credit Document (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4 Net Payments.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the applicable withholding agent or any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor (as applicable) shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of

such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or any Guarantor showing payment thereof.

(b) The Borrower shall pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, provided that, in the case of any withholding tax other than U.S. federal withholding taxes, the completion, execution and submission of such forms shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would be disadvantageous to such Lender or would subject to such Lender to any unremibursed cost.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a non-bank tax certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit H to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (D) that the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, non-bank tax certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a non-bank tax certificate on behalf of such beneficial owner(s), or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that from time to time after the date it becomes a Non-U.S. Lender, when a lapse in time or change in the Non-U.S. Lender’s circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will, to the extent legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), a non-bank tax certificate and a Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Non-U.S. Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any previously claimed exemption or reduction.

(e) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or reduction of, or credit against its tax liabilities in lieu of a refund), which refund, reduction or credit in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund, reduction or credit as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required. A Lender or Administrative Agent shall claim any refund, reduction or credit that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (e) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(f) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computation of interest for loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days.

5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

9.1 Reports and Other Information.

(a) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Lenders, without cost to each Lender, the following reports within the specified time frames:

(i) within 90 days (or the successor time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act) after the end of each fiscal year annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form;

(ii) within 45 days (or the successor time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act) after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year reports on Form 10-Q, containing the information required to be contained therein, or any successor or comparable form;

(iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; and

(iv) any other information, documents and other reports which the Borrower would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

provided that the Borrower shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Borrower shall make available such information to prospective purchasers of the Loans, in addition to providing such information to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each case within 15 days after the time the Borrower would be required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Administrative Agent and Lenders is for informational purposes only and the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Borrower’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 9.1(a) and (b), the Borrower will be deemed to have furnished the reports required by Sections 9.1(a) and (b) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if it or any Parent of the Borrower has filed (or, in the case of a Form 6-K, furnished) such reports with the SEC via the XXXXX filing system and such reports are publicly available.

(d) The Borrower may satisfy its obligations under this Section 9.1 with respect to financial information relating to the Borrower by furnishing financial information relating to any Parent; provided that, if Regulation S-X under the Securities Act were to apply and so require, the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to any Parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

9.2 Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times (1) with respect to each Satellite to be launched by the Borrower or any Restricted

Subsidiary, launch insurance with respect to each such Satellite covering the launch of such Satellite and a period thereafter, but only to the extent, if at all, and on such terms (including period, exclusions, limitations on coverage and coverage amount) as is determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower to be in the best interests of the Borrower and evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Administrative Agent, (2) with respect to each Satellite it currently owns or has risk of loss for, other than any Excluded Satellite or any In-orbit Spare Satellite (but only to the extent that such In-orbit Spare Satellite is not expected or intended, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Borrower and evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Administrative Agent, to earn revenues in excess of $25.0 million for the immediately succeeding twelve calendar months), In-Orbit Insurance in an amount based on a percentage of the book value of such Satellite as specified in clause (B) of the proviso below and (3) at all times subsequent to the coverage period of the launch insurance described in clause (1) above, if any, or if launch insurance is not procured, at all times subsequent to the initial completion of in-orbit testing, in each case other than in the case of any such Satellite that is an Excluded Satellite or an In-orbit Spare Satellite (but only to the extent that such In-orbit Spare Satellite is not expected or intended, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Borrower and evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Administrative Agent, to earn revenues in excess of $25.0 million for the immediately succeeding twelve calendar months), In-Orbit Insurance in an amount as provided for in clause (2) above; provided, however, that at any time with respect to a Satellite that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary owns or has risk of loss for,

(A) the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary may at its option in lieu of procuring or maintaining the In-Orbit Insurance described in clauses (2) and (3) above elect to provide an In-orbit Spare Satellite for one or more Satellites (or the C-band or Ku-band payloads separately on a hybrid C/Ku-band Satellite, provided both payloads on such Satellite are protected by In-orbit Spare Satellites or by In-Orbit Insurance in accordance with this Section 9.2); provided that

(i) no more than two Satellites (or the C-band or Ku-band payloads separately on a hybrid C/Ku-band Satellite that is protected by an In-orbit Spare Satellite) protected by the same In-orbit Spare Satellite may, at any time, each be subject to a partial loss that has resulted in the reduction of commercially usable transponders on the Satellite (or on the C-band or Ku-band payloads separately on a hybrid C/Ku-band satellite that is protected by an In-orbit Spare Satellite) exceeding 37.5% of each such Satellite’s (or such C-band or Ku-band payload’s) total number of commercially usable transponders; provided, however, that up to three Satellites (or the C-band or Ku-band payloads separately on a hybrid C/Ku-band Satellite that is protected by an In-orbit Spare Satellite) protected by the same In-orbit Spare Satellite may, at any time, each be subject to a partial loss that has resulted in the reduction of commercially usable transponders on the Satellite (or on the C-band or Ku-band payloads separately on a hybrid C/ Ku-band Satellite that is protected by an In-orbit Spare Satellite) exceeding 37.5% of each such Satellite’s (or such C-band or Ku-band payload’s) total number of commercially usable transponders if such In-orbit Spare Satellite is at such time functioning as an In-orbit Spare Satellite for six Satellites and the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall maintain or procure within 120 days In-Orbit Insurance complying with the provisions of clause (2) or (3) above, as applicable, on the three Satellites not subject to such partial loss; and

(ii) at no single time shall any Satellite act as an In-orbit Spare Satellite for more than six Satellites and in no event shall such Satellites be within a geostationary orbital arc of greater than 60 contiguous degrees of longitude; and

(B) the Borrower shall not be required to maintain In-Orbit Insurance in excess of 33% of the aggregate book value of all Satellites insured pursuant to clause (1) above (but included in such calculation only to the extent such Satellite has successfully completed its in-orbit testing phase) and otherwise required to be insured pursuant to clauses (2) and (3) above (it being understood that any Satellite protected by an In-orbit Spare Satellite shall be deemed to be insured for 100% of its book value) (with the allocation of such insurance among such Satellites being in the Borrower’s discretion). In the event of any loss, damage or failure affecting a Satellite insured pursuant to clauses (1), (2) or (3) above or the expiration and non-renewal of an insurance policy for such a Satellite resulting from a claim of loss under such policy causes a failure to comply with this clause (B), the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this clause (B) for the 120 days immediately following such loss, damage or failure or policy expiration, provided that the Borrower procures such insurance or In-orbit Spare Satellite as necessary to comply with this clause (B) within such 120 day period.

(b) The insurance policies required by the foregoing paragraph (a) shall

(1) contain no exclusions other than:

(A) Acceptable Exclusions and such other exclusions or limitations of coverage as may be applicable to all Satellites of the same model or relating to systemic anomalies as are then customary in the Satellite insurance market; and

(B) such specific exclusions applicable to the performance of the Satellite being insured as are reasonably accepted by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in order to obtain insurance for a price that is, and on other terms and conditions that are, commercially reasonable; and

(2) provide coverage for all risks of loss of and damage to the Satellite including for partial loss, constructive total loss and total loss. The insurance required by this Section 9.2 shall name the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary as the named insured.

(c) In the event of the unavailability of an In-orbit Spare Satellite for any reason, the Borrower shall, subject to clause (B) of the proviso to paragraph (a) above, within 120 days of such loss or unavailability, be required to have in effect In-Orbit Insurance complying with clauses (2) or (3) of paragraph (a) above, as applicable, with respect to all Satellites that the In-orbit Spare Satellite was intended to protect so long as an In-orbit Spare Satellite is unavailable, provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be considered in compliance with this Section 9.2 for the 120 days immediately following such loss or unavailability, as the case may be.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries receive proceeds from any Satellite insurance covering any Satellite owned by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or in the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives proceeds from any insurance maintained for it by any Satellite manufacturer or any launch provider covering any of such Satellites (the event resulting in the payment of such proceeds, an “Event of Loss”), all Event of Loss Proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 10.7.

9.3 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Borrower will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all Taxes levied or imposed upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be

required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such Taxes or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

9.4 Corporate Existence. Subject to Sections 10.11 and 10.12, the Borrower will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the corporate rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as a whole.

9.5 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, which shall include, in the case of Satellites (other than Satellites yet to be launched), the provision of tracking, telemetry, control and monitoring of Satellites in their designated orbital positions in accordance with prudent and diligent standards in the commercial satellite industry, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6 Statement by Officers as to Default. The Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding quarter or the preceding fiscal year, as the case may be, has been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether it has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and further stating, as to each such officer signing such certificate, that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Borrower during such preceding quarter or the preceding fiscal year, as the case may be, has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill each and every such covenant contained in this Agreement and no Default or Event of Default occurred during such quarter or year, as the case may be, and at the date of such certificate there is no Default or Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing or, if such signers do know of such Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe its status, with particularity and that, to the best of his or her knowledge, no event has occurred and remains by reason of which payments on the account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Loans is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action each is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Officers’ Certificate shall also notify the Administrative Agent should the Borrower elect to change the manner in which it fixes its fiscal year-end. For purposes of this Section 9.6, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Agreement.

9.7 [Reserved].

(B) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness subordinated or pari passu to the Loans or any Guarantee of the Loans, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the Loans or such Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded or (ii) Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, respectively and

(C) shall not include (i) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Borrower, (ii) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Guarantor or (iii) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(A) the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test set forth in Section 10.1(a), or

(B) the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is less than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

(2) at the time of Incurrence, the Borrower shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 10.1(c).

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

(e) The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; and

provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and

(2) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above.

(b) The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:

(1) transactions between or among the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 10.2 and the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(3) the payment of management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and related expenses to the Sponsors;

(4) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(5) transactions in which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 10.8(a)(1);

(6) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect);

(7) the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (7) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect;

(8) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are fair to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(10) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower to any Permitted Holder or to any director, officer, employee or consultant;

(11) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any Receivables Facility;

(12) payments by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to any of the Sponsors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which payments are (x) approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith or (y) made pursuant to any agreement described under Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” in Intelsat Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007; and

(13) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith.

10.9 Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender shall have the right to require the Borrower to repurchase all or any part of such Lender’s Loans at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

10.10 Suspension of Covenants.

(a) During any period of time that: (1) the Loans have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of this Agreement:

(A) clause (a)(4) of Section 10.11;

(B) Section 9.2;

(D) Section 10.2;

(E) Section 10.8;

(F) Section 10.3;

(G) Section 10.5;

(H) clauses (1)(A) and (2) of Section 10.6; and

(I) Section 10.7;

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds (and Event of Loss Proceeds) shall be set at zero. In addition, the Guarantees of the Guarantors shall also be suspended as of such date (the “Suspension Date”). In the event that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events and the Guarantees shall be reinstated. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or 10.1(b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Closing Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 10.1(b)(3). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.2 shall be made as though Section 10.2 had been in effect since the Closing Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under 10.2(a).

(c) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prompt (and in any event not later than five business days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event. In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prompt (and in any event not later than five business days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Administrative Agent shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

10.11 Borrower May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

(a) The Borrower may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Borrower is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1) the Borrower is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);

(2) the Successor Company, if other than the Borrower, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loans pursuant to supplemental Agreements or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;

(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,

(A) the Successor Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test set forth in Section 10.1(a) or

(B) the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio for the Successor Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be less than such ratio for the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case Section 10.12(1)(B) below shall apply, shall have by joinder or otherwise confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Agreement and the Loans; and

(6) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental Agreements, if any, comply with this Agreement.

(b) The Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loans. Notwithstanding clauses (a)(3) and (a)(4) above,

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Borrower and

(2) the Borrower may merge with an Affiliate of the Borrower solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in another State of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

10.12 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms. Subject to Section 11.8, no Guarantor shall, and the Borrower shall not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:

(1) (A) such Guarantor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”);

(B) the Successor Guarantor, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement and such Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to supplemental Agreements or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(D) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental agreements, if any, comply with this Agreement; or

(2) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 10.7.

Subject to Section 11.8 hereof, the Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under this Agreement and such Guarantor’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or the Borrower.

10.13 Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor in accordance with Sections 10.11 and 10.12 hereof, the Successor Guarantor formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is merged or the Successor Guarantor to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Agreement or the Guarantees, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such Successor Guarantor had been named as the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, herein or the Guarantees, as the case may be. When a Successor Guarantor assumes all obligations of its predecessor hereunder, the Loans or the Guarantees, as the case may be, such predecessor shall be released from all obligations; provided that in the event of a transfer or lease, the predecessor shall not be released from the payment of principal and interest or other obligations on the Loans or the Guarantees, as the case may be.

SECTION 11. Guarantees.

11.1 Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Loans and obligations of the Borrower hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Lender and to the Administrative Agent for itself and on behalf of such Lender, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Loans will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Loans or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, to the limitation set forth in Section 11.4 hereof.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loans or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Loan except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Agreement and such Guarantee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Loan, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Administrative Agent on behalf of, or by, the Lenders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth

in this Agreement, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Stated Maturity of the Loans, to collect interest on the Loans, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Loans, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

If any Lender or the Administrative Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand, (1) subject to this Section 11, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 12 hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligation as provided in Section 12 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Loans are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Loans, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Loans shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. The form of Notation of Guarantee to be executed on each Loan by each Guarantor is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

11.2 Severability. In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the extent permitted by applicable law.

11.3 Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary required to guarantee payment of the Loans pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 10.5 to (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any amendment or supplement to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee all of the obligations on the Loans, whether for principal, premium, if any, interest (including interest accruing after the filing of, or which would have accrued but for the filing of, a petition by or against the Company under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim after such filing in any proceeding under such law) and other amounts due in connection therewith (including any fees, expenses and indemnities), on an unsecured senior basis and (2) deliver to such Administrative Agent an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Administrative Agent to the effect that such amendment or supplement has been duly executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and is in compliance with

the terms of this Indenture. Upon the execution of any such amendment or supplement, the obligations of the Guarantors and any such Restricted Subsidiary under their respective Guarantees shall become joint and several and each reference to the “Guarantor” in this Agreement shall, subject to Section 11.7, be deemed to refer to all Guarantors, including such Restricted Subsidiary. Such Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 10.13 and Section 11.9.

11.4 Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Lender confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Lenders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to this Section 11.4, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

11.5 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under a Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses Incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Loans or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such Guarantor. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (1) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities Incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of such Guarantor at such date and (2) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities Incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

11.6 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Lenders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Agreement or the Lenders shall have been paid in full.

11.7 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Guarantee provided for in Section 11.1 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Lender to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Guarantor.

11.8 Release of a Guarantor. Any Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Loans shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1) (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of all of the Borrower’s Capital Stock in such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; or (B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee, and

(2) such Guarantor has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

SECTION 12. Events of Default.

12.1 Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon repayment, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Loans issued under this Agreement;

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Loans issued under this Agreement;

(3) failure by the Borrower to comply with its obligations under Section 10.11;

(4) failure by the Borrower to comply for 30 days after notice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Loans then outstanding with any of its obligations under Sections 9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 (other than a failure to prepay Loans), 10.8 or 10.9 (other than a failure to prepay Loans);

(5) failure by the Borrower or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and issued under this Agreement to comply with any of its other agreements contained in this Agreement or the Loans;

(6) default under any mortgage, Agreement or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Loans, if both

(A) such default either results from the failure to pay any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the Lender or Lenders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and

(B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated

final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $50.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

(7) failure by the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

(8) any of the following events with respect to the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary:

(A) the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law

(i) commences a voluntary case;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property;

(iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or

(B) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

(9) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Agreement or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Agreement.

12.2 Acceleration.

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(8) above) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of

at least 30% in principal amount of the Loans outstanding under this Agreement may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on Loans outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Borrower (and to the Administrative Agent if given by Lenders).

(b) Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(8) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all Loans outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration or other act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided in this Section, the Lenders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding under this Agreement, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Borrower has paid or deposited with the Administrative Agent a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest on all Loans outstanding under this Agreement,

(B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Loans outstanding under this Agreement which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Loans,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate borne by the Loans, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Administrative Agent hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel; and

(2) Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Loans which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 12.5, no such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 12.2(c), in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose,

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or

(2) the Lenders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or

(3) if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

12.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Loans or this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Loans or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

12.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Loans are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Loan when required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 14.1 cannot be amended without the consent of each Lender affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

12.5 Control by Majority. The Required Lenders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Administrative Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Administrative Agent. However, the Administrative Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement or, subject to Article 13, that the Administrative Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Lender or that would involve the Administrative Agent in personal liability; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Administrative Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

12.6 Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Lender may pursue any remedy with respect to this Agreement or the Loans unless:

(i) the Lender gives to the Administrative Agent written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) the Lenders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Loans make a written request to the Administrative Agent to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Lender or Lenders offer to the Administrative Agent reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Administrative Agent does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(v) the Required Lenders do not give the Administrative Agent a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

(b) A Lender may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Lender or to obtain a preference or priority over another Lender.

12.7 Rights of the Lenders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Loans held by such Lender, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Loans, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Lender.

12.8 Priorities. If the Administrative Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Section 12, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Administrative Agent for amounts due under Section 13;

SECOND: to Lenders for amounts due and unpaid on the Loans for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Loans for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Borrower or, to the extent the Administrative Agent collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Administrative Agent may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Lenders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Administrative Agent shall mail to each Lender and the Borrower a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 13. The Administrative Agent.

13.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The Syndication Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have no obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 13.

13.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys- in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

13.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower and any Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be Incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

13.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

13.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the

Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

13.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Loans held by such Lenders in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Loans held by such Lenders in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, Incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

13.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

13.9 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and

duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

13.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If any 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, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses Incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

13.11 [Reserved].

(d) All Lenders holding Loans issued under this Agreement shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any such Loans may vote) as one class and no Lenders will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

The agreements in this Section 14.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

14.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(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 (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 14.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and to the Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A) the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (unless increased costs would result therefrom except if an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a), (b), (e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing), an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a), (b), (e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee or (2) in connection with the initial syndication of the Loans by the Agents as disclosed to the Borrower on the Closing Date; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (1) any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (2) any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1.0 million , and increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 12.1 (a), (b), (e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) 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;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms.

For the purpose of this Section 14.6(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender.

(i) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6.

(ii) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative 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 and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iii) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, 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 described in the second sentence of Section 14.1(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 14.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender. In addition, each Lender selling a participation to one or more Participants under this Section 14.6(c) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, keep a register, specifying each such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the 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.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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, and this Section 14.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit E.

(e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

14.7 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof of any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1(b) requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) at issue then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and pay any processing or recordation fee and (c) such replacement Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such

assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 14.6.

14.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Article 12, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

14.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

14.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

any other Agent has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the other Agents and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the other Agents have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction 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 Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

Annex I

Registration Rights

The registration rights agreement will be in a form substantially similar to the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the 9.00% senior notes due 2014, modified to reflect the revised structure and issuers in connection with the Acquisition and will provide that the Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause a registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days of the one-year anniversary of the issue date, if on the 366th day following the issue date, the securities will not be “freely tradable” (i.e., without a restrictive legend) as a result of:

•

the issuer failing to timely file reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as required by Rule 144(c)(1) and (2) of the Securities Act);

•

an affiliate of the Borrower entering the chain of ownership of the securities; or

•

a change in law, regulation or interpretation by the SEC or DTC the result of which would prohibit the removal of the legend on or prior the 365th day from the issue date.
