At Deltas request, the parties will work together to develop an installation schedule and agree upon such other technical requirements as are necessary to deliver and install the Equipment on International Fleet Types of A/C that are not part of the Initial International Fleet (Additional Fleet Types), with such timing and technical details to be set forth in one or more agreed upon amendments to this Agreement. Gogo will be responsible for all Equipment and related paperwork as required to convert A/C of Additional Fleet Types into Retrofit A/C, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the applicable A/C as expeditiously as possible after notification by Delta of its intent to add Additional Fleet Types. Upon Deltas election, Gogo shall perform the Services set forth in this Agreement with respect to Additional Fleet Type A/C pursuant to the terms of this Agreement except as set forth above. |
In addition, upon Deltas election, Gogo shall perform the Services set forth in this Agreement with respect to additional International A/C that are not a part of, but are of the same Fleet Types as those in, the Initial International Fleet (the Existing Fleet Type A/C; together with the Additional Fleet Type A/C, the Installable Additional International A/C) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The tail numbers of such Existing Fleet Type A/C will be added to this Agreement by amendment.
2.4 | [***] |
2.5 | Time Frame for Installation. If Gogo has not converted to Retrofit A/C the lesser of (a) all Installable A/C or (b) [***] International A/C (either of (a) or (b), as applicable, is referred to as Full Installation) prior to the installation of [***] connectivity equipment and activation and connectivity services on [***] (the [***] Installation) as evidenced by [***] (the [***] Announcement), then Gogo will provide to Delta a credit or refund (per the formula below) that may be applied by Delta only toward the purchase of (or for a refund of amounts paid by Delta for previously purchased) Equipment pursuant to this Agreement (the [***] Credit), including any Equipment for which Delta has already made payment. As used herein, the term Installable A/C means all A/C that are both (a) scheduled to be converted to Retrofit A/C prior to the [***] Installation pursuant to the Installation Schedule and (b) made available by Delta to Gogo in accordance with the Installation Schedule. The [***] Credit shall be calculated as follows: |
$25 million multiplied by the Installable A/C Ratio (where the Installable A/C Ratio is the number of Installable A/C divided by [***], provided that the Installable A/C Ratio shall not be greater than [***])
Page 7
For example, if the number of Installable A/C were [***] A/C, then the [***] Credit would be $[***] million. The parties agree that it is difficult or impossible to determine the damages that Delta will suffer in the event of a delay, and that the [***] Credit is not a penalty but a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages that would result from such delay.
However, if Gogo completes Full Installation prior to the [***] Installation, then Gogo would be eligible for a reduction in Liquidated Damages as set forth below:
1. | If Gogo completes Full Installation at least [***] prior to the [***] Installation, as evidenced by the [***] Announcement, then any Liquidated Damages assessed on Gogo pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by 25% multiplied by the Installation A/C Ratio. |
2. | If Gogo completes Full Installation at least [***] prior to the [***] Installation, as evidenced by the [***] Announcement, then any Liquidated Damages assessed on Gogo pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by 50% multiplied by the Installation A/C Ratio. |
3. | If Gogo completes Full Installation at least [***] prior to the [***] Installation, as evidenced by the [***] Announcement, then any Liquidated Damages assessed on Gogo pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by 75% multiplied by the Installation A/C Ratio. |
4. | If Gogo completes Full Installation at least [***] prior to the [***] Installation, as evidenced by the [***] Announcement, then any Liquidated Damages assessed on Gogo pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by 100% multiplied by the Installation A/C Ratio. |
For example, assuming that the Installation A/C Ratio is 0.50, if Gogo completes Full Installation on January 1, 2015, and the [***] Installation, as evidenced by the PAC/UA Announcement, occurs on May 1, 2015, any Liquidated Damages paid or payable by Gogo would be reduced by 12.5%.
2.6 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if Gogo completes Full Installation on or before January 1, 2015, Delta shall not be entitled to any [***] Credit even if the [***] Installation occurs prior to the date of Full Installation and (B) if Gogo fails to complete Full Installation by January 1, 2016, Gogo will not be eligible for any reduction in Liquidated Damages. For the purposes of this Section 2.5, the date on which Full Installation occurs will be adjusted to the extent of any applicable Excusable Delay |

In the event that Gogo fails to complete any installation of Equipment on any Production A/C within [***], upon Deltas request, Gogo or its contractor will, if technically feasible and if permissible under all applicable laws, rules, regulations, Certifications and orders of regulatory agencies, close up its installation work and resume installation at a subsequent time in order to prevent the A/C from being out of service.
Page 12
Thereafter, Delta will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the closed up A/C available for completion of installation at a mutually agreed upon time.
5.2.1.5 | Installation Credit. [***] |
5.2.1.6 | Prototype Installations Performed by Gogo. Gogo and Delta will coordinate to arrange a mutually convenient date that each Prototype A/C will be taken out of service and made available to Gogo for installation and Certification activity (the Out of Service Date), taking into account the overall installation program, and such factors as A/C availability from Delta and engineering and installation crew availability from Gogo, among other factors. [***] Commencing on the Out of Service Date, Gogo shall properly install the Equipment on the Prototype A/C in accordance with all the requirements of the Agreement and obtain all required Certifications and Regulatory Approvals necessary so that the Prototype A/C may be returned to revenue service (Return to Service) within [***] of the Out of Service Date or, if mutually agreed by the parties, in accordance with another schedule. The schedule shall be extended on account of work that Delta needs to accomplish on the Prototype A/C while Gogo performs its required installation and certification activity, if and only to the extent that the work Delta needs to accomplish will delay or interfere with Gogos activities. The schedule is also subject to extension on a day for day basis due to any Excusable Delays or any delays in receipt of required Certifications and Regulatory Approvals that are not caused by Gogo or its third party engineering certification firm. Gogo will pay Delta liquidated damages of $[***] per day, up to an aggregate maximum amount equal to the amount to be paid by Delta (including through use of any credits) for the Equipment installed on the applicable Prototype A/C, for each day that Return to Service is delayed beyond [***] (or any mutually agreed schedule other than [***]) after the Out of Service Date (the Prototype Credit). The parties agree that it is difficult or impossible to determine the damages that Delta will suffer in the event of such a delay, and that the Prototype Credits are not a penalty but a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages that would result from such delay. Subject to any Excusable Delay, Gogo will obtain or has obtained Certification for the first Prototype A/C by [***]. |
5.2.2 | Ongoing Maintenance, Training and Support. [***] |

EXHIBIT B
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
This Service Level Agreement (this SLA) is Exhibit B to the Agreement. Its purpose is to describe the service level, customer support and problem resolution metrics for Gogos broadband in-flight connectivity services. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement.
1. | Definitions: |
1.1. | System: As defined in Section 1.52 of the Agreement. |

1.3. | GOGO Avionics: The aircraft based components of the System, including but not limited to airborne network components, wireless access points, antennae and associated wiring and software. |
2. | SLA Administration: |
2.1. | System Monitoring and Reporting: Gogo shall provide to Delta reports, on a monthly basis, on the metrics referenced in this SLA, including availability and latency performance. The reports shall be adequate for Delta to determine Gogos performance against such metrics. The format shall be mutually agreed upon. |
2.2. | Gogo will meet with Delta quarterly to review performance against the SLA and to resolve issues. |
2.3. | Gogo shall maintain an SLA report audit trail (including detailed performance reports) and shall make this data available within 72 hours of Deltas request. At any point during the Term, the audit trail report shall include data for the preceding three (3) years or, if shorter, the period from the Effective Date to the date of the report. |
2.4. | The parties agree to discuss in good faith any necessary adjustments to the SLA terms due to new requirements or unforeseen System or customer issues. |
3. | GOGO Network Operation: |
3.1. | Gogo shall operate the GOGO Network on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year basis. |
3.2. | Gogo will provide a dedicated Gogo maintenance support resource to support System operation. |
3.3. | Gogo Network Outage Notifications: |

Planned emergency maintenance | Loss of redundancy | [***] |
* | Scheduled maintenance window activities means those activities that have virtually no customer impact as they are scheduled at times when there are few aircraft flying and passengers on such aircraft are unlikely to be using the System. |
Gogo will send notification of each outage event, except for those due to planned emergency maintenance, to Delta at least [***] in advance of the event. Gogo will send notification of each planned emergency maintenance outage event to Delta as soon as the planned emergency maintenance is scheduled, and such notice will identify the outage event as a Planned Emergency Maintenance Activity. Planned emergency maintenance means maintenance activity that Gogo needs to perform quickly in order to avoid adverse customer impact, and is generally due to a loss of redundancy that is not yet impacting customers.

The term Resolved means the fault has been identified, the nature of the fault is understood, and the Connectivity Service has been restored to an acceptable level. The term Closed means the problem as well as the underlying cause(s) of the problem have been identified and corrective measures have been taken to permanently eliminate the problem.
As an example, a resolution to a problem might be the installation of a temporary (emergency) software patch. While this fixes the problem temporarily, the problem is not considered closed until the formal, documented patch has been obtained from the vendor, installed, tested, and confirmed to solve the issue with no other deleterious side effects
7. | Contacting Operations Response Services for Technical Issues |
| Toll-Free: 1-866-WiFi-NOC (1-866-943-4662) |
8. | Management Escalation |
Management escalation is the process of elevating a critical problem to appropriate levels of management to aid in its resolution. If at any time Delta believes that a problem is not being addressed in a timely and effective manner, the issue may be brought to the attention of the Manager of Operations Response Services. If escalating the issue to this level does not bring a satisfactory response it may be further escalated to the Director of Technical Operations Support.
The table below lists the management contacts to use for escalations. Escalations should occur when the response, resolution, or close times shown in the table in Section 6.2 are not met, and/or the delivered results are otherwise unsatisfactory. For clarity, the management escalation process described in this Section 8 shall not limit any remedies otherwise available to Delta pursuant to the Agreement.

Intelsat reserves the right to assign and/or reassign Customers space segment allocation within the satellite identified in the Service Order or to move the Service to a different satellite and/or a different orbital location (the satellite being used for the Service at any given time referred to herein as the Satellite), or in any other way to alter the method by which it provides a Service, provided that any such change does not result in a failure of the Service to meet the Service Specifications. Except in emergency circumstances, Intelsat shall notify Customer of any changes to its allocation as soon as reasonably practicable prior to such change and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Customers Service during any such change. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, for Network Broadband services to aircraft only, Intelsat shall not make any change to any such service without first obtaining Customers consent. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by Customer to provide consent under this Section 2.3 shall not constitute a breach of this MSA.

3. | CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS AND USE RESTRICTIONS |
3.1 Customers Use and Third Party Use. Each Service is provided for Customers own use and in no event shall Customer be permitted to resell a Service to any other person or entity unless Customers provision of services to such person or entity includes substantially more communications facilities than the Service provided by Intelsat. For purposes of this Section, resell shall include any means allowing another person or entity to utilize the Service, in whole or in part, including through sale, resale, license, lease, sublease, grant, assignment, or any other means of direct or indirect conveyance. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall be responsible to Intelsat for any and all use of the Service or transmissions via the Service by any third party user throughout the chain of use (each a User and collectively the Users) to the same extent as Customer would be for its own use or transmissions, and all references in the Agreement to Customers responsibilities to Intelsat regarding Customers use or transmissions shall be interpreted accordingly.
3.2 Compliance with Law. Customer shall use each Service, and shall require that its Users use such Service, if applicable, only for lawful purposes and in compliance with any and all applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations and/or restrictions of any jurisdiction in which Customer uses the Service or to which it is otherwise subject (including those of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)), including, without limitation, patent, copyright, trademark, and any other intellectual property rights; defamation, obscenity and any other content- or information-related laws; and privacy and data security or protection laws.
3.3 Operational Requirements and Non-Interference. Customer shall use each Service, and shall require that its Users use such Service, if applicable, in compliance with the Operational Requirements contained in the Service Order, as such may be amended by Intelsat from time to time upon notice to Customer, and which can, for convenience, be located at http://www.intelsat.com/resources/earthstationsless.aspx. Customer shall configure, equip and operate its transmit facilities so that the interface of these facilities, in outerspace, with the Satellite shall conform to the characteristics and technical parameters of the Satellite. Customer shall follow Intelsats procedures for initiating or terminating any transmission to the Satellite. Customer shall operate all transmit facilities in a manner that allows for cessation of, and shall cease, transmission immediately upon receiving notice from Intelsat under Section 13.2 below. Customer shall furnish such information regarding the technical parameters of its transmissions as may be required by Intelsat prior to commencing, during, and upon the conclusion of, any transmission to the Satellite. Customer shall, upon Intelsats request, provide measured proof that any transmit facility meets any material requirement specified in the Operational Requirements. Customer shall follow established practices and procedures for frequency coordination and shall not use the Service, or any portion thereof, in any manner that would or could be expected, under standard engineering practice, to cause harm to any satellite or related infrastructure of Intelsat or a third party, or to cause interference with any satellite or related infrastructure of Intelsat or a third party.
3.4 Customer-Provided Facilities. Unless otherwise specified in the Service Order, Customer shall be responsible for the provision, installation, operation, maintenance of, and for securing all necessary licenses and/or authorizations for, all earth station facilities and equipment (Customer-Provided Facilities), for transmitting signals to, or receiving signals from, the Satellite in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Service Order. In addition, all Customer earth stations must be registered by Intelsat prior to operation, in accordance with the Service Order. By executing a Service Order, Customer represents and warrants that the information it will provide to Intelsat in connection with earth station registration will be complete and accurate in all material respects. Customer may contract with parties other than Intelsat to
3
transmit its signals to, or receive its signals from, the Satellite, provided that Customer shall require that its contractors comply with all of the requirements of this MSA and the Service Order. If Customer retains third parties as permitted by the previous sentence, those third parties facilities and personnel shall be deemed to be Customer-Provided Facilities and the acts and omissions of those third parties shall be deemed to be the acts or omissions of Customer. Intelsat shall have the right with prior notice and during normal business hours, but not the obligation, to inspect any Customer-Provided Facilities together with associated facilities and equipment used by Customer, or by a third party under the authority of Customer, to transmit to the Satellite. Intelsat shall use all reasonable efforts to schedule inspections to minimize the disruption of the operation of the facilities, and Customer shall make the facilities available for inspection at all reasonable times. Any such inspection shall not be deemed approval of the facilities by Intelsat or a waiver of any of Intelsats rights hereunder.
3.5 Transmission Plan. No later than ten (10) business days prior to the Service Start Date, Customer shall provide Intelsat with a transmission plan (the Transmission Plan) which complies with the Operational Requirements. Customer must have Intelsats written approval of the Transmission Plan, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to, and as a condition to, Customers commencement of the Service. Customer shall also be permitted, subject to Intelsats prior written approval, to modify the Transmission Plan from time to time, subject to the terms of the applicable Service Order. Intelsats approval of a Transmission Plan shall not constitute, nor does Intelsat make any representation, warranty, or covenant regarding the efficacy of the use of any number of carriers or other alternative uses of the Services. In addition, Intelsat does not make any representation, warranty or covenant regarding the efficacy of any Transmission Plan or use of the Service in relation to potential sources of terrestrial interference, and the absence of terrestrial interference is not a Service Specification.
4. | CHARGES AND PAYMENTS |
4.1 Charges. Charges shall refer to all charges specified in a Service Order or otherwise due to Intelsat. Any fixed recurring monthly Charges specified in the Service Order (Service Fees) are due and payable within [***] days of the Invoice Date as defined below, i.e. no later than the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the Service is to be rendered (pro-rated for partial months), provided that pursuant to Section 4.4 below, no delinquency charges will be assessed for Service Fees that are received within [***] days of the due date. Any non-fixed and/or non-recurring Charges shall be due and payable by the last business day of the month in which they are invoiced in accordance with Section 4.2 below. Charges for Occasional Use Services shall be due and payable as specified in the Occasional Use Procedures.
4.2 Invoices. Charges shall be posted monthly at https://my.intelsat.com/webinvoices/index.asp on the first day of the month in which such Charges are due and payable. Posting of the Charges at said address shall constitute an invoice for such Charges, dated as of the first day of the month (the Invoice Date).
4.3 Payments. Customer shall pay all Charges by wire transfer or via company check to the corporate address listed above and in U.S. dollars, and in full, free and clear of any set-off, restriction, condition or deduction. Customer shall be responsible for any transfer, exchange, or other similar costs involved in making payment. Payments shall be deemed made only upon receipt of collected funds at the following account:
Intelsat Corporation
Citibank FSB, Washington, D.C.
ABA#: [***]
Account Number: [***]
4
4.4 Late Payments. Any payment due from Customer and not received by Intelsat within [***] days of its due date shall be subject to a delinquency charge (liquidated damages) at the rate of [***] per month, or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, on such overdue amount from the due date until Intelsat actually receives payment in full. Customer acknowledges that such delinquency charge is reasonable under all the circumstances existing as of the Effective Date. In the event that Customer is unable to make timely payment due to circumstances affecting its bank or wire transfers therefrom that are beyond Customers reasonable control, Customer shall notify Intelsat as soon as possible, and in any event prior to the payment due date, and shall include with such notice written documentation from Customers bank specifying the reason for the inability to access or transfer funds, and the expected date by which payment can be made. Such notice shall in no way absolve Customer of any of its payment obligations, and any extension of the payment due date in such circumstances shall be in the sole discretion of Intelsat. For avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of such event and/or Intelsats receipt of such notice shall in no way constitute a waiver of any of Intelsats rights under the Agreement.
4.5 Disputed Charges. Customer shall notify Intelsat of any dispute regarding Charges in writing within twenty (20) days of the relevant Invoice Date. Thereafter, the invoice shall be considered final and undisputed. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute as to Charges, Customer shall pay all undisputed amounts in the relevant invoice by the payment due date.
4.6 Financial Security. Intelsat may require Customer to provide it with a security deposit (a Deposit) for any Service as a pre-condition to Intelsats execution of a Service Order and/or provision of Service. In addition, Intelsat may, at any time during a Service Term, require Customer to provide or increase a Deposit, or provide other reasonable financial security in a form acceptable to Intelsat, as security for payment of Charges and/or other liabilities. Intelsat shall exercise this right in good faith. In any such case, Customer shall remain responsible for the timely payment of all Charges. Intelsat shall be entitled to call upon any Deposit or other security for any late payment (not the subject of a bona fide dispute under Section 4.5 above) and/or other liabilities that Customer may incur, and Customer shall be obliged to replenish the Deposit or other security upon request. Failure to do so shall be a material breach of the Agreement. Intelsat may apply the Deposit or other security to the payments due at the end of the Service Term, and shall return any remaining Deposit or security to Customer after the termination of the relevant Service Order once all liabilities have been settled.
4.7 Taxes. With the exception of U.S. income taxes on Intelsat or any of its Affiliates, Customer shall pay and indemnify Intelsat for any and all taxes, imposts, charges, levies, duties, usage or other fees (including, without limitation, value added taxes, universal service fund contribution charges, stamp taxes, and other similar taxes and charges, if any) which may be asserted against Intelsat or any of its Affiliates or Customer or any of its Affiliates by any governmental entity with respect to or arising out of a Service (including any interest, penalties and additions with respect thereto) (collectively, Taxes). If any Taxes are so asserted, Customer agrees to pay Intelsat the amount, if any, which ensures that Intelsat receives the same amount, after reduction for, or payment of, such Taxes, as it would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. If any Taxes are asserted with respect to the Satellite itself, the point in space that it occupies or the frequencies employed, and such Taxes are not specifically attributable to the Service, then Customer shall be responsible for only its pro rata allocation of such Taxes as determined by Intelsat.
5
5. | SERVICE OUTAGE |
5.1 Confirmed Outage. A Confirmed Outage shall have occurred when the Service fails to meet the Service Specifications for a period of time specified in the Service Order, and such failure is confirmed by Intelsat. If a Confirmed Outage has occurred, it shall be deemed to commence when Customer notifies Intelsat of the occurrence of the Confirmed Outage (subject to Intelsats confirmation), and to end when Intelsat notifies Customer or Customer has actual knowledge that the Service has been restored. Any period during which Customer uses the applicable Service shall not count towards the duration of the Confirmed Outage.
5.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 above, a Confirmed Outage shall not be deemed to have occurred when a failure of the Service to meet the Service Specifications is due to any of the following: (i) the failure or nonperformance of any Customer-Provided Facilities or other customer equipment, including but not limited to, hardware or software failures in Customer-Provided Facilities or customer equipment, or congestion in Customers network or one of its components; (ii) the fault, negligent act, or failure to act of Customer, its employees or agents; (iii) preventative maintenance and/or Service expansion (when done on at least 48 hours notice to Customer and as mutually scheduled by the Parties) as may be necessary to maintain the Service in satisfactory operating condition, to provide additional system capacity, or to protect the overall performance of the Service or the lntelsat-Provided Facilities; (iv) a Force Majeure Event as defined in Section 10.1 below that is attributable to sun outages or meteorological or astronomical disturbances; (v) termination of this MSA or the Service Order in accordance with the termination provisions in Article 7 below; (vi) suspension of Service under Article 8 below; and/or (vii) the unavailability of Service to Customer, pursuant to FCC rules and regulations published at 47 C.F.R. 64.401, during emergency conditions such as major natural or man-made disasters and emergencies involving United States national defense and security.
5.3 Outage Credits. If a Confirmed Outage occurs, Intelsat shall give Customer a credit (an Outage Credit) against future Charges for that Service. Unless other specified in a Service Order, Outage Credits shall equal pro rata Service Fees due for that period of time during which a Confirmed Outage of the Service, or any portion thereof, has occurred.
5.4 Restoration of Service. In cases of Confirmed Outage, Intelsat shall use reasonable efforts to restore affected Service(s) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service Order. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and aid Intelsat in restoring Service(s).
6. | INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE |
6.1 Interruption Rights. Customer recognizes that it may be necessary, if the Satellite or any component thereof loses power, or in other unusual or abnormal technical situations, or other unforeseen conditions, for Intelsat to deliberately interrupt Customers use of the Service. Intelsat shall make decisions to interrupt Services for such purposes in good faith. To the extent technically feasible, Intelsat shall give Customer at least 24 hours notice of such interruption and shall use all reasonable efforts to schedule and conduct its activities during periods of such interruption so as to minimize the disruption to users of the Satellite. Customer acknowledges, however, that Intelsat may interrupt Service without notice in any situation that in the opinion of Intelsat has caused or is likely to cause harm to any satellite or related infrastructure of Intelsat or a third party or interference with any satellite or related infrastructure of Intelsat or a third party. Customer shall immediately cease transmissions to the affected Satellite when required to do so by Intelsat under this Section.
6
6.2 Testing in the Event of a Service Failure. If the Service is not meeting the Service Specifications, but Customer continues to use the applicable Service, as degraded, Intelsat may interrupt Customers use as necessary to perform testing or take any other action that may be appropriate to attempt to restore the Service to the Service Specifications. In such event, Intelsat shall coordinate activities with Customer and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption.
6.3 Occasional Use Services. Unless otherwise specified in the Service Order for an Occasional Use Service, any and all Occasional Use Services are made available on a preemptible basis and may be deliberately preempted or interrupted by Intelsat for restoration purposes or in order for Intelsat to satisfy obligations to third parties. Intelsat shall make such decisions in its sole discretion.
6.4 Customers Rights. To the extent that any period of interruption results in a loss to Customer of the use of the Service sufficient to constitute a Confirmed Outage under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, and/or a Confirmed Failure under Section 7.2 below, the Customer shall have all of the rights and remedies regarding Outage Credits in accordance with Section 5.3 above and/or termination in accordance with Section 7.2 below, as applicable.
7. | TERMINATION |
7.1 Termination for Cause. Intelsat may terminate this MSA, or terminate any Service Order(s) under this MSA, immediately upon notice to Customer if Customer: (i) fails to make payment of any amount due to Intelsat, and such amount remains unpaid within [***] days after receiving from Intelsat a notice of such nonpayment, or (ii) fails to cease activity in violation of Sections 3,1, 3.2 and/or 3.3 above immediately upon receiving telephone, facsimile and/or e-mail notice from Intelsat, or (iii) breaches any warranty or is otherwise in material breach of any other provisions of the Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving from Intelsat a notice of such breach, or (iv) files a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or files or has filed against it any petition or answer seeking any reorganisation, composition, liquidation or similar relief for itself under any applicable statute, law or regulation or makes any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. In the event that Intelsat terminates a Service Order for any of the reasons set forth in this Section 7.1, in addition to all of Intelsats other remedies at law or in equity, Intelsat may declare due and payable a Termination Fee equal to the total remaining Service Fees for what had been the scheduled Service Term. For cases where the Charges are recurring but non-fixed, the computation of the Termination Fee shall be based on average and/or expected average Charges as specified in the relevant Service Order. Intelsat may apply the Deposit or other security, if any, against the Termination Fee. In such circumstances, Intelsat shall be entitled to use the Service for whatever purpose Intelsat deems fit and Customer shall not be entitled to any equitable relief with respect to such use or any refund of amounts paid to Intelsat, Customer acknowledges that Intelsats rights set forth in this Section: (i) are reasonable under all of the circumstances existing as of this date; (ii) constitute liquidated damages for the loss of a bargain; and (iii) do not constitute a penalty.
7.2 Confirmed Failure. A Confirmed Failure shall have occurred if the Service fails to meet the Service Specifications for a period or periods of time specified in the Service Order, and such failure is confirmed by Intelsat. Either Party may terminate the affected Service Order, on notice to the other, if a Confirmed Failure occurs and Intelsat does not restore the Service within (i) fifteen (15) days if such Confirmed Failure is not due to a Force Majeure Event; or (ii) ninety (90) days if such Confirmed Failure is due to a Force Majeure Event; or (iii) within any such shorter period as it may become clearly ascertainable by Intelsat that restoration within the time frame permitted in (i) or (ii) above, as applicable, is not possible.
7
7.3 Satellite Out of Service. If Intelsat, in its sole discretion, decides to take a Satellite out of commercial service at its orbital location before the end of a Service Term, Intelsat shall give Customer reasonable notice under the circumstances of such determination and the date the applicable Satellite will be taken out of service or redeployed at another orbital location. In such event, the affected Service Order shall automatically terminate on the date that the Satellite is taken out of commercial service or redeployed, unless Intelsat, at its option, continues to provide Service meeting the Service Specifications to Customer on an alternative or replacement satellite.
7.4 Change of Control. Intelsat may terminate this MSA or any and all Service Orders if a change in the ownership or corporate holding of Customer results in Intelsat being in violation of any US or foreign law, regulation or order of a competent authority.
7.5 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this MSA or a Service Order for any reason, Customer shall immediately cease transmissions to the Satellite (if applicable) upon notice of termination by Intelsat in accordance herewith. The termination of this MSA or a Service Order for any reason shall extinguish all of Intelsats obligations to provide, and Customers obligations to accept, the affected Service(s), but shall not relieve either Party of any obligation that may have arisen prior to such termination, including, without limitation, under any other Service Order, or under Section 7.1, nor shall termination of this MSA and/or any Service Order affect the Parties obligations under Article 9, Article 12, and Section 14.2, which shall survive the termination of any Service Order and/or the Agreement as a whole. Upon termination of a Service Order in accordance with Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4, Intelsat shall promptly refund to Customer any portion of the Charges previously paid and applicable to any period after the date of such termination (including any Deposit or other security, where applicable) plus any unapplied Outage Credits to which Customer was entitled prior to such termination, less any fees outstanding with Intelsat or any of its Affiliates under any Service Order.
8. | SUSPENSION OF SERVICE |
8.1 Suspension for Cause. Intelsat may suspend a Service in any circumstance in which Intelsat would have the right to terminate the related Service Order or this MSA for cause under Section 7.1 above, provided that any notice that would be required for termination for cause is also given for such suspension. In no event shall Intelsats election to suspend a Service be construed as a waiver of Intelsats right to terminate the Service Order or this MSA.
8.2 Government or Third Party Action. Intelsat may also suspend a Service if, in any circumstance that arises out of Customers use of the Service, Intelsat or any of its Affiliates is: (i) indicted, (ii) is otherwise charged as a criminal defendant, (iii) becomes the subject of a criminal proceeding, or (iv) becomes the subject of any other governmental action or threat of action by any governmental entity or representative thereof that potentially could result in the revocation, suspension, or loss of any license, ability or right to provide capacity or service to any customer, or loss of any customers right or ability to use the capacity or service provided to it. Intelsat may also suspend a Service if Customers signal is being blocked or jammed by a third party (governmental or otherwise) and such jamming is interfering with the use or threatens the health of the Satellite.
8.3 Effect of Suspension. Customer shall immediately cease transmissions to the Satellite (if applicable) upon notice of suspension by Intelsat in accordance with this Article 8. Intelsat may continue to suspend the Service until any breach of the related Service Order by Customer is
8
cured and, in the case of any suspension of Service pursuant to Section 8.2 above, until any action or threat of action is resolved in Intelsats favor or removed and, in each case, until assurances are given to Intelsats reasonable satisfaction that the matter(s) giving rise to a suspension of Service will not reoccur. Intelsats suspension of a Service in accordance with this Article 8 shall not result in any Outage Credit to Customer, and all Charges for the Service shall continue to be due and payable.
9. | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION |
9.1 Limitation of Liability. ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OR USE, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED BY INTELSAT. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT INTELSATS SOLE OBLIGATION AND CUSTOMERS EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW OR EQUITY ARE LIMITED TO THOSE SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.3 AND SECTION 7.5, WHERE APPLICABLE, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. In no event shall Intelsat or any of its Affiliates be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever, including loss of revenue or profits, regardless of the foreseeability of such damages, arising out of or under the Agreement, whether under contract, warranty, tort or otherwise. In no event shall Intelsat or any of its Affiliates be liable for damages associated with service or equipment it does not furnish. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right of recovery for the satisfaction of any cause whatsoever, arising out of or related to the Agreement or any Service Order against (i) any Intelsat Affiliate, (ii) any supplier of services or equipment to Intelsat necessary for the provision of the Service to Customer in any circumstances in which Intelsat would be obligated to indemnify the supplier, or (iii) any officer, director, employee, agent, partner or shareholder of any such supplier. Customer shall require all of its Users to abide by terms and conditions similar to those in this MSA, including disclaimers of liability in favor of Intelsat and its Affiliates and suppliers substantially similar to (but in no case less broad than) those set forth in this Section.
9.2 Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Intelsat and its Affiliates from and against any direct or indirect claims, liabilities, losses, costs or damages, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, arising out of or relating to the provision of any Service from, or Customers or any User(s) use of, the Intelsat-Provided Facilities, including, but not limited to, those arising out of (i) the fault or negligence or breach of the Agreement by Customer; or (ii) Customers alleged breach of any laws, rules and regulations applicable to it; or (iii) any transmission by Customer or any User(s), regardless of cause by Customer or User(s), that is actually, or alleged to be, libelous, slanderous, obscene, indecent, a breach of privacy or security of transmissions, an infringement of data protection laws, an infringement of patent, copyright or any other intellectual property right, or otherwise illegal, or any other claim relating to the information or content of any material displayed or transmitted; or (iv) any warranty, representation or statement Customer may make to a third party in connection with the Service; or (v) any claims brought by any User(s) or any other third part(ies) in connection with any Service, including any disputes between or among Customer, User(s), other transmission recipients and/or transmission content suppliers.
10. | FORCE MAJEURE |
10.1 Force Majeure Event. Any failure or delay in performance by Intelsat under the Agreement shall not be a breach if such failure or delay is due to any unforeseeable act, event or cause beyond its reasonable control (Force Majeure Event). Force Majeure Events shall include but not be limited to: acts of God, earthquake, hurricane, snowstorm, fire, flood, war
9
(whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, riot, insurrection, civil, commotion, national emergency, power shortage, strike, labor dispute, epidemic, quarantine, contamination, embargo, receive earth station sun outage, meteorological or astronomical disturbances, external transmission interference, satellite failure, satellite launch failure or delay, or satellite malfunction (if such interference, failure, delay or malfunction is not attributable to a negligent act or omission of Intelsat), action or inaction of any government or competent authority, including refusal to grant or denial or delay in the grant of a license material for performance hereunder (if such refusal, denial or delay is not attributable to a negligent act or omission of Intelsat), act or omission of Customer or fault or nonperformance of Customer-Provided Facilities or other customer equipment, or act or omission of third parties.
10.2 Customer Obligations. The existence of a Force Majeure Event shall not affect Customers obligations under Section 3.3 above (i.e., if a Force Majeure Event prevents compliant transmission, no transmission shall be made).
11. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
11.1 Representations and Warranties by Both Parties. Subject to the provision in Section 11.2 below, each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that as of the Effective Date of this MSA, or, with respect to any Service Order, as of the execution by that Party of such Service Order, (i) it has the right, power and authority to enter into and fully perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the MSA or Service Order has been duly authorized by all necessary partnership or corporate action, as applicable; (iii) the MSA or Service Order constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations on that Party; (iv) the fulfillment of its obligations and conduct hereunder or thereunder will not constitute a material violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority, or contract to which it is subject; (v) all public or private consents, permissions, agreements, licenses or authorizations necessary for the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder to which it is subject have been obtained, or it will use all reasonable efforts to obtain the same in a timely manner; (vi) it does not know of any broker, finder, or intermediary involved in connection with the negotiations and discussions incident to the execution of the MBA or Service Order or of any broker, finder or intermediary who might be entitled to a fee or commission upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
FOR TRANSPONDER SERVICES
1. THE SERVICE
Transponder Service is the supply of satellite capacity managed by Customer. Any renewal or extension of the Service will be the subject of a separate agreement.
1.1 Non-Preemptible Service: A Service that cannot be interrupted, suspended, or terminated to restore other Services.
1.2 Preemptible Service: A Service that may be interrupted, suspended, or terminated at any time. Customer must vacate the capacity immediately upon notification by Intelsat.
2. PREEMPTION
2.1 Notification of Preemption: Customer will specify in writing, prior to the Service Start Date, a telephone number at which English-speaking personnel may be reached by Intelsat on a 24 x 7 basis.
2.2 Failure to Vacate: If Customer continues to use a Service after its Service End Date, Intelsat may terminate the Service or continue to provide it on a preemptible basis for a price determined by Intelsat until terminated upon notice to Customer. Customers payment of this fee does not authorize Customer to continue to use the Service.
3. SERVICE RESTORATION
3.1 Service Restoration: In the event any Service hereunder fails, Intelsat shall attempt to restore Customers Service with Service on the Satellite or another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance. Such capacity will then become the Service. If Intelsat does not restore a failed Service hereunder, this Service Order will terminate without further liability as of the time of failure and any amounts prepaid by Customer for Services following the effective date of termination shall be returned to Customer.
3.2 Service Distribution and/or Wholesale Customer Agreement Customers: Annex F is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: In cases of satellite failure or malfunction, Intelsat will use reasonable efforts to restore affected Services in accordance with the relevant Service Order/Contract.
4. SERVICE INTERRUPTION CREDITS/OUTAGE CREDITS AND CONFIRMED FAILURE
4.1 A Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurs when Service materially fails to comply with the performance parameters in the relevant Technical Appendix, and such noncompliance is confirmed by Intelsat. A Confirmed Outage will be deemed to commence when Customer notifies Intelsat, and to end when Intelsat notifies Customer or Customer has actual knowledge that Service has been restored. Any period during which Customer uses the applicable Service will not count towards the duration of the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage.
4.2 Interruption Credit or Outage Credit is a credit against future charges for the Service. Credits will be given for Service Interruptions or Confirmed Outages of one (1) hour or more, and will be calculated as a proportion of the monthly service charge, based on the number of hours in the month in which the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurred.
4.3 Confirmed Failure: Subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 7.2 and 7.5 of the Master Service Agreement, if the Service fails to meet the performance specifications of the Technical Appendix for: (a) a cumulative period of 10 hours during any consecutive 30-day period, or (b) any period of time following a catastrophic event under circumstances that make it clearly ascertainable that a failure described in clause (a) will occur, the Service shall, subject to Intelsats confirmation, have suffered a Confirmed Failure. All determinations as to Confirmed Failures should be made on an individual transponder segment by transponder segment basis. In the event of a Confirmed Failure, Intelsat may, subject to availability, employ certain redundant equipment units on the Satellite or provide Service to Customer using another transponder which provides substantially similar coverage and performance or provide Service on another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance.
5. MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Billing Policy: Intelsat will commence billing on the Service Start Date, whether services commence or not, unless the delay is solely and directly caused by Intelsat. Intelsat may apply the Deposit/Collateral paid hereunder to cover any outstanding payments due by Customer to Intelsat under this Service Order or any other Service Order subject to the terms and conditions of the MSA. Intelsat shall return any remaining Deposit/Collateral to Customer when all Services under the MSA end and all liabilities are settled.
5.2 Replacement Satellite: During the term of this Service Order, Intelsat may replace the Satellite with another satellite that provides substantially similar coverage and performance (Replacement Satellite). Provided there is available substantially similar coverage and performance on the Replacement Satellite, Intelsat may provide such capacity to Customer, in which case it will provide replacement Technical Appendices to the Customer, and this Service Order will continue with such Replacement Satellite Service for the remainder of its term. Intelsat will use all reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption of operations while the Service is being transferred. In the event Intelsat either (a) takes the Satellite out of commercial service at its orbital location and does not replace the Satellite; or (b) replaces the Satellite with a Replacement Satellite but does not provide Replacement Satellite Service, this Service Order will automatically terminate on the date that the Satellite is taken out of commercial operation or redeployed.
5.3 Transmission Plan: Transmission plans must be submitted to Intelsat for approval at least 10 business days before the Service Start Date. Customer will be permitted, subject to Intelsats approval, to modify the transmission plan from time to time. Intelsat reserves the right to charge Customer a reasonable fee for transmission plan modifications. All proposed modifications must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to their intended activation. Intelsats approval of the transmission plan is not authorization for Customer to access the Intelsat space segment; a separate message from Intelsat will provide information to Customer for coordinating the activation of carriers. This Service Order is entered into with the understanding that this Service will not create harmful technical interference to other services. Should such interference occur, Customer assumes all liability. In addition, Intelsat reserves the right to ensure that no technical impairments are caused to other services, including, if necessary, terminating the Service.
5.4 Earth Station Approval: All Customer earth stations must be registered with Intelsat prior to the service start date. All antennas must be authorized in the host country by all relevant regulatory and licensing authorities. Registration is available via https://my.intelsat.com.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
FOR TRANSPONDER SERVICES
1. THE SERVICE
Transponder Service is the supply of satellite capacity managed by Customer. Any renewal or extension of the Service will be the subject of a separate agreement.
1.1 Non-Preemptible Service: A Service that cannot be interrupted, suspended, or terminated to restore other Services.
1.2 Preemptible Service: A Service that may be interrupted, suspended, or terminated at any time. Customer must vacate the capacity immediately upon notification by Intelsat.
2. PREEMPTION
2.1 Notification of Preemption: Customer will specify in writing, prior to the Service Start Date, a telephone number at which English-speaking personnel may be reached by Intelsat on a 24 x 7 basis.
2.2 Failure to Vacate: If Customer continues to use a Service after its Service End Date, Intelsat may terminate the Service or continue to provide it on a preemptible basis for a price determined by Intelsat until terminated upon notice to Customer. Customers payment of this fee does not authorize Customer to continue to use the Service.
3. SERVICE RESTORATION
3.1 Service Restoration: In the event any Service hereunder fails, Intelsat shall attempt to restore Customers Service with Service on the Satellite or another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance. Such capacity will then become the Service. If Intelsat does not restore a failed Service hereunder, this Service Order will terminate without further liability as of the time of failure and any amounts prepaid by Customer for Services following the effective date of termination shall be returned to Customer.
3.2 Service Distribution and/or Wholesale Customer Agreement Customers: Annex F is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: In cases of satellite failure or malfunction, Intelsat will use reasonable efforts to restore affected Services in accordance with the relevant Service Order/Contract.
4. SERVICE INTERRUPTION CREDITS/OUTAGE CREDITS AND CONFIRMED FAILURE
4.1 A Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurs when Service materially fails to comply with the performance parameters in the relevant Technical Appendix, and such noncompliance is confirmed by Intelsat. A Confirmed Outage will be deemed to commence when Customer notifies Intelsat, and to end when Intelsat notifies Customer or Customer has actual knowledge that Service has been restored. Any period during which Customer uses the applicable Service will not count towards the duration of the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage.
4.2 Interruption Credit or Outage Credit is a credit against future charges for the Service. Credits will be given for Service Interruptions or Confirmed Outages of one (1) hour or more, and will be calculated as a proportion of the monthly service charge, based on the number of hours in the month in which the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurred.
4.3 Confirmed Failure: Subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 7.2 and 7.5 of the Master Service Agreement, if the Service fails to meet the performance specifications of the Technical Appendix for: (a) a cumulative period of 10 hours during any consecutive 30-day period, or (b) any period of time following a catastrophic event under circumstances that make it clearly ascertainable that a failure described in clause (a) will occur, the Service shall, subject to Intelsats confirmation, have suffered a Confirmed Failure. All determinations as to Confirmed Failures should be made on an individual transponder segment by transponder segment basis. In the event of a Confirmed Failure, Intelsat may, subject to availability, employ certain redundant equipment units on the Satellite or provide Service to Customer using another transponder which provides substantially similar coverage and performance or provide Service on another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance.
5. MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Billing Policy: Intelsat will commence billing on the Service Start Date, whether services commence or not, unless the delay is solely and directly caused by Intelsat. Intelsat may apply the Deposit/Collateral paid hereunder to cover any outstanding payments due by Customer to Intelsat under this Service Order or any other Service Order subject to the terms and conditions of the MSA. Intelsat shall return any remaining Deposit/Collateral to Customer when all Services under the MSA end and all liabilities are settled.
5.2 Replacement Satellite: During the term of this Service Order, Intelsat may replace the Satellite with another satellite that provides substantially similar coverage and performance (Replacement Satellite). Provided there is available substantially similar coverage and performance on the Replacement Satellite, Intelsat may provide such capacity to Customer, in which case it will provide replacement Technical Appendices to the Customer, and this Service Order will continue with such Replacement Satellite Service for the remainder of its term. Intelsat will use all reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption of operations while the Service is being transferred. In the event Intelsat either (a) takes the Satellite out of commercial service at its orbital location and does not replace the Satellite; or (b) replaces the Satellite with a Replacement Satellite but does not provide Replacement Satellite Service, this Service Order will automatically terminate on the date that the Satellite is taken out of commercial operation or redeployed.
5.3 Transmission Plan: Transmission plans must be submitted to Intelsat for approval at least 10 business days before the Service Start Date. Customer will be permitted, subject to Intelsats approval, to modify the transmission plan from time to time. Intelsat reserves the right to charge Customer a reasonable fee for transmission plan modifications. All proposed modifications must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to their intended activation.

EARTH STATION AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR DIGITAL SERVICES VIA INTELSAT C-BAND AND KU-BAND TRANSPONDERS
1.0 INTRODUCTION. This document contains the earth station requirements and associated operational procedures for transmission via C-band and Ku-band transponders on all Intelsat satellites (collectively, the Operational Requirements). These Operational Requirements may be modified from time to time by Intelsat, in its reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the applicable Agreement.
2.0 EARTH STATION REQUIREMENTS.
2.1 Earth Station EIRP. The required earth station Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) per carrier is a function of the following:
(1) | the satellite receiver sensitivity (G/T), |
(2) | the outage margin provided, |
(3) | the location of the transmit and receive earth stations within the uplink and downlink beams, and, |
(4) | the loading of the transponder (i.e., the number, type and frequency assignment of the various carriers within the transponder). |
For full saturated transponder allocations, earth stations must be capable of transmitting a modulated carrier with an EIRP sufficient to achieve the nominal satellite SFD given in the Service Specifications with a margin of at least 2 dB.
For partial transponder allocations, the actual assigned operating EIRP for a given earth station will be specified in the Service Specifications, taking into account the actual transponder performance and loading prior to the time of the transmission.
2.2 EIRP Stability. The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must, under clear sky conditions, be maintained to within +/-0.5 dB of the assigned operating EIRP; provided, however, in the event that the transponder transmitted to has multiple carriers, additional EIRP variation may be permitted, upon approval of Intelsat. Under no circumstances may the EIRP exceed the assigned value by more than 1 dB.
2.3 Earth Station Transmit Gain Requirement. The gain of the transmit antenna must be sufficient to yield the maximum EIRP, as defined in Section 2.1, with a maximum carrier power level at the transmit feed to be determined by coordination agreements reached by Intelsat with other networks. If antenna size resulting from above requirement is excessive, Intelsat may reduce requirement provided that adjacent satellite flux density limits are maintained. The uplink power of TV carriers, as measured at the transmit earth station antenna feed, shall not exceed any limits specified in this document.
2.4 HPA Requirement. In determining the HPA size for a given earth station, it is necessary not only for each earth station to meet the maximum EIRP requirements for each carrier transmitted, but also to meet the emission constraints set forth in Section 3.4 or 4.2, as applicable. If a given earth station is to transmit more than one carrier, the HPA may have to operate at an output backoff of several dB in order to meet the emission constraints, and therefore, must be sized accordingly.
2.5 Antenna Performance. The fixed (hub) earth stations shall satisfy the following transmit sidelobe performance envelopes:
G < = 29 - 25 log10 (q) dBi, | 1°< q < = 7° | |||
G < = 8 dBi, | 7°< | q < = 9.2° | ||
G < = 32 - 25 log 10 (q) dBi | 9.2°<q < = 48° | |||
G < = -10 dBi, | q > 48° |
where G is the gain of the sidelobe envelope, relative to an isotropic antenna, in the direction of the geostationary orbit and q is the angle in degrees between the main beam axis and the direction considered.
The aircraft earth stations antenna performance will be specified in terms of off axis EIRP density as follows:
For operations within the territory of the United States of Americ the co-polarized off-axis EIRP spectral-density emitted from the earth station, in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) as it appears at the particular earth station location, shall not exceed the following values:
-50 + (29-25*Log10 (q)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ q £ 7°
For operations outside the territory of the United States of Americ the co-polarized off-axis EIRP spectral-density emitted from the earth station, in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) as it appears at the particular earth station location, shall not exceed the following values:
-45 + (29-25*Log10 (q)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ q £ 7°
Where q is the angle in degrees between the main beam axis and the direction considered.
2.6 Transmit Earth Station Polarization.
For the fixed (hub) earth stations the earth station cross-polarization discrimination must be a minimum of 30 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
For aircraft earth stations the discrimination must be a minimum of 15 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
2.7 Additional Requirements for Uplink Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band.
(1) | Earth Stations operating in the United States and Possessions: Unless otherwise expressly approved by Intelsat and then authorized by the FCC, the EIRP of any emission from any and all earth stations operating in the 13.75 - 14.0 GHz Band shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters; provided, however, in the 13.772-13.778 GHz Band, the EIRP shall not exceed 71 dBW per 6 MHz, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters. |
(2) | Earth Stations operating outside of the United States and Possessions: With regard to all earth stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band OUTSIDE of the United States and Possessions: |
(a) Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band shall have a minimum diameter of 1.2 meters.
(b) EIRP emissions from any and all earth stations operating with an antenna diameter greater than or equal to 4.5 meters shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW.
(c) Earth Stations operations in the 13.770 13.780 GHz Band shall have additional EIRP density limits as defined in International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations No. 5.503.
(d) Without limitation to any of the foregoing conditions or any other conditions in this Attachment or the Agreement, all earth stations must, at all times, comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, rules, and regulations, as in effect from time to time.
3.0 ANALOG VIDEO SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Not Applicable
4.0 DIGITAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Modem Requirements. The Customer may use any digital, SCPC/PSK, MCPC/PSK satellite modem that meets their particular requirements, subject to the following constraints which are designed to ensure excess interference is not experienced by adjacent satellites or by other users of the Satellite:
(1) | Digital Modems - Scrambling must be provided to ensure that uniform spectral spreading is applied to the transmitted carrier at all times. A data scrambler built in accordance with ITU Rec. V.35, or a functionally equivalent unit with similar spectrum spreading characteristics, must be employed. |
(2) | SCPC/PSK and MCPC/PSK - In general, any SCPC/PSK or MCPC/PSK modem which meets all relevant ITU recommendations is allowed, subject to prior approval by Intelsat. |
(3) | Other Modems - The use of other modem types is subject to approval by Intelsat. |
4.2 Emission Constraints. The transmit earth station must be equipped and operated in such a manner that spurious emission at the output of the antenna due to all sources does not exceed 4 dBW/4 kHz outside of the assigned carrier bandwidth.
4.3 Carrier Frequency Assignments. Intelsat shall assign Customers uplink and/or downlink frequencies in accordance with the Agreement. Earth stations must be capable of operating at any frequency and polarization within the Service Transponder. For digital transmissions, frequencies will be assigned to the nearest 0.025 MHz. It is recommended that all transmit earth stations further be capable of operation across the entire satellite uplink frequency band as Intelsat may change carrier frequency assignments in accordance with the Agreement. Unless specifically approved by Intelsat, the aggregate allocated bandwidth of carriers within a multi-carrier transponder or allocation should not exceed 90% of Customers total allocated bandwidth in order to provide flexibility in carrier assignments and to reduce the effects of intermodulation noise, adjacent carrier interference, co-channel interference, and adjacent satellite interference.
5.0 UPLINK REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Uplink Requirements. Before any transmit earth station may access a Intelsat satellite, it must demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements set forth in Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 and have approval from Intelsats Network Operations Center. In order to ensure that the transmissions of a given earth station do not interfere with the transmissions of other earth stations utilizing the Satellite, or adjacent satellites, it is necessary that certain operational requirements be met. Specifically, users of Intelsats digital transmission services must observe the following:
(1) | The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must be maintained to within +/- 0.5 dB of the value specified by Intelsat, except under adverse weather conditions. This EIRP tolerance limit includes all earth station factors which affect EIRP variation, including HPA output power level stability and antenna pointing errors. |
(2) | The center frequency of all transmitted carriers must be maintained to within +/- 0.025 R Hz (up to a maximum of +/- 10 kHz) of the value assigned by Intelsat. [Note - The transmission rate (R) is defined as the bit rate entering the QPSK modulator, i.e., it is the information rate plus overhead multiplied by the inverse of the FEC code rate.] |
(3) | The frequency stability of the earth station receive chain must be consistent with the frequency acquisition and tracking capabilities of the demodulator. As a minimum, it is recommended that the short term (24 hour) receive chain stability be less than +/- 2 kHz and the long term stability (7 day) be less than +/- 10 kHz. |
(4) | Any earth station transmitting to a Intelsat Satellite must be under the active control of the user. Specifically, the user must provide a means for immediate cessation of transmission in the event that notification is received from Intelsat that such a step is necessary to avoid harmful interference to other users or other satellite systems. |
5.2 Uplink Restrictions. Except as may be permitted by Intelsat during a coordinated test period, no earth station operator shall transmit an unmodulated carrier through any transponder. The operation of each earth station must be in strict adherence with Customers Intelsat-approved Transmission Plan. Any deviation from that Transmission Plan must be approved in advance by Intelsat. Under no circumstances shall any earth station transmit any RF carrier to any Intelsat satellite on a frequency not authorized by Intelsat, whether or not that frequency is in use by other stations.
5.3 Carrier line-up and in-service monitoring. Facilities must be provided by the user to measure the link parameters and transmission characteristics during initial carrier line-up. In addition, in-service monitoring by the user of the carrier EIRP and the received BER is required.
In order to perform initial carrier line-up the user must provide a means to measure and adjust the transmitted carrier level. This requirement can be satisfied if a directional coupler of known coupling factor is placed between the HPA output and the antenna feed input so as to permit accurate carrier power measurements to be performed. Means must also be provided by the user to allow the transmitted power level to be adjusted to an accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, over the range 0 to minus 15 dB of the maximum EIRP specified in Service Specifications.
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 10 of 11 |
During initial carrier line-up it is also necessary for the user to be able to measure the Eb/No of the received carrier, either with a spectrum analyzer or through a filter of known bandwidth, and to perform bit-error-rate measurements using a pseudo-random test pattern.
During normal in-service operation, the user must monitor the carrier EIRP and the BER. The latter requirement can be satisfied through the use of the BER monitoring facility built into most digital modems.
5.4 Network Interface Considerations. If carriers transmitted via Intelsats digital transmission service are to be interfaced with a synchronous data network or other synchronous equipment, it may be necessary for the user to equip the receive station with elastic buffer storage facilities (or their equivalent) to allow for time delay variations caused by Satellite motion. The amount of storage necessary is a function of the carrier transmission rate, the maximum diurnal Satellite motion, and the longitudinal drift rate. The maximum delay variation due to Satellite motion is expected to be 0.6 milliseconds (peak-to-peak, uplink plus downlink).
Data encryption may be employed by the user, provided that the basic transmission characteristics of the carrier are not affected (i.e., provided that the emission constraints set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied).
While users are free to utilize any digital modem that meets the basic performance requirements outlined in this document, it is the users responsibility to ensure that the modems used on both ends of a given link are compatible, and that the network interface requirements for the users particular application are satisfied.
5.5 Customer Obligations and Use. Customer must, at all times, comply with the terms and conditions of Article III, including all of its Subsections, of the Master Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
5.6 Interference and Preemption Notices. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain, at each Customer transmit facility, and shall provide Intelsat with a telephone number that is continuously staffed, at all time during which Customer is transmitting or receiving signals to or from the Satellite, and an automatic facsimile that shall be maintained in operation and capable of receiving messages from Intelsat, at all times. Said telephone and facsimile shall be maintained for the purpose of receiving notices from Intelsat regarding interference or other problems arising out of the provision of the Service on, or any use of the Service Transponder, including, without limitation, any decision by Intelsat to preempt or interrupt provision of the Service to Customer pursuant to the Agreement. It is mandatory that the person who receives such messages has the technical capability and absolute authority to immediately terminate or modify the transmission if notified by Intelsat pursuant to the foregoing. All such notices shall be effective upon the placement of the telephone call or transmission of a facsimile message by Intelsat to Customer. If, for any reason, Customers telephone is not answered and its telecopier is incapable of receiving transmission, Intelsats notice shall be deemed to have occurred at the time it attempts to place a telephone call or transmit a facsimile message to Customer. Intelsat shall promptly confirm telephone notices in writing.

EARTH STATION AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR DIGITAL SERVICES VIA INTELSAT C-BAND AND KU-BAND TRANSPONDERS
1.0 INTRODUCTION. This document contains the earth station requirements and associated operational procedures for transmission via C-band and Ku-band transponders on all Intelsat satellites (collectively, the Operational Requirements). These Operational Requirements may be modified from time to time by Intelsat, in its reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the applicable Agreement.
2.0 EARTH STATION REQUIREMENTS.

(1) | the satellite receiver sensitivity (G/T), |
(2) | the outage margin provided, |
(3) | the location of the transmit and receive earth stations within the uplink and downlink beams, and, |
(4) | the loading of the transponder (i.e., the number, type and frequency assignment of the various carriers within the transponder). |
For full saturated transponder allocations, earth stations must be capable of transmitting a modulated carrier with an EIRP sufficient to achieve the nominal satellite SFD given in the Service Specifications with a margin of at least 2 dB.
For partial transponder allocations, the actual assigned operating EIRP for a given earth station will be specified in the Service Specifications, taking into account the actual transponder performance and loading prior to the time of the transmission.
2.2 EIRP Stability. The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must, under clear sky conditions, be maintained to within +/-0.5 dB of the assigned operating EIRP; provided, however, in the event that the transponder transmitted to has multiple carriers, additional EIRP variation may be permitted, upon approval of Intelsat. Under no circumstances may the EIRP exceed the assigned value by more than 1 dB.
2.3 Earth Station Transmit Gain Requirement. The gain of the transmit antenna must be sufficient to yield the maximum EIRP, as defined in Section 2.1, with a maximum carrier power level at the transmit feed to be determined by coordination agreements reached by Intelsat with other networks. If antenna size resulting from above requirement is excessive, Intelsat may reduce requirement provided that adjacent satellite flux density limits are maintained. The uplink power of TV carriers, as measured at the transmit earth station antenna feed, shall not exceed any limits specified in this document.
2.4 HPA Requirement. In determining the HPA size for a given earth station, it is necessary not only for each earth station to meet the maximum EIRP requirements for each carrier transmitted, but also to meet the emission constraints set forth in Section 3.4 or 4.2, as applicable. If a given earth station is to transmit more than one carrier, the HPA may have to operate at an output backoff of several dB in order to meet the emission constraints, and therefore, must be sized accordingly.
2.5 Antenna Performance. The fixed (hub) earth stations shall satisfy the following transmit sidelobe performance envelopes:
G < = 29 - 25 log10 (q) dBi, | 1°< q < = 7° | |||
G < = 8 dBi, | 7°< | q < = 9.2° | ||
G < = 32 - 25 log 10 (q) dBi | 9.2°< q < = 48° | |||
G < = -10 dBi, | q > 48° |
where G is the gain of the sidelobe envelope, relative to an isotropic antenna, in the direction of the geostationary orbit and q is the angle in degrees between the main beam axis and the direction considered.
The aircraft earth stations antenna performance will be specified in terms of off axis EIRP density as follows:
For operations within the territory of the United States of Americ the co-polarized off-axis EIRP spectral-density emitted from the earth station, in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) as it appears at the particular earth station location, shall not exceed the following values:
-50 + (29-25*Log10 (q)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ q £ 7°
For operations outside the territory of the United States of Americ the co-polarized off-axis EIRP spectral-density emitted from the earth station, in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) as it appears at the particular earth station location, shall not exceed the following values:
-45 + (29-25*Log10 (q)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ q £ 7°
Where q is the angle in degrees between the main beam axis and the direction considered.
2.6 Transmit Earth Station Polarization.
For the fixed (hub) earth stations the earth station cross-polarization discrimination must be a minimum of 30 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
For aircraft earth stations the discrimination must be a minimum of 15 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
2.7 Additional Requirements for Uplink Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band.
(1) | Earth Stations operating in the United States and Possessions: Unless otherwise expressly approved by Intelsat and then authorized by the FCC, the EIRP of any emission from any and all earth stations operating in the 13.75 - 14.0 GHz Band shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters; provided, however, in the 13.772-13.778 GHz Band, the EIRP shall not exceed 71 dBW per 6 MHz, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters. |
(2) | Earth Stations operating outside of the United States and Possessions: With regard to all earth stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band OUTSIDE of the United States and Possessions: |
(a) | Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band shall have a minimum diameter of 1.2 meters. |
(b) | EIRP emissions from any and all earth stations operating with an antenna diameter greater than or equal to 4.5 meters shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW. |
(c) | Earth Stations operations in the 13.770 13.780 GHz Band shall have additional EIRP density limits as defined in International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations No. 5.503. |
(d) | Without limitation to any of the foregoing conditions or any other conditions in this Attachment or the Agreement, all earth stations must, at all times, comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, rules, and regulations, as in effect from time to time. |
3.0 ANALOG VIDEO SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Not Applicable
4.0 DIGITAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Modem Requirements. The Customer may use any digital, SCPC/PSK, MCPC/PSK satellite modem that meets their particular requirements, subject to the following constraints which are designed to ensure excess interference is not experienced by adjacent satellites or by other users of the Satellite:
(1) | Digital Modems - Scrambling must be provided to ensure that uniform spectral spreading is applied to the transmitted carrier at all times. A data scrambler built in accordance with ITU Rec. V.35, or a functionally equivalent unit with similar spectrum spreading characteristics, must be employed. |
(2) | SCPC/PSK and MCPC/PSK - In general, any SCPC/PSK or MCPC/PSK modem which meets all relevant ITU recommendations is allowed, subject to prior approval by Intelsat. |
(3) | Other Modems - The use of other modem types is subject to approval by Intelsat. |
4.2 Emission Constraints. The transmit earth station must be equipped and operated in such a manner that spurious emission at the output of the antenna due to all sources does not exceed 4 dBW/4 kHz outside of the assigned carrier bandwidth.
4.3 Carrier Frequency Assignments. Intelsat shall assign Customers uplink and/or downlink frequencies in accordance with the Agreement. Earth stations must be capable of operating at any frequency and polarization within the Service Transponder. For digital transmissions, frequencies will be assigned to the nearest 0.025 MHz. It is recommended that all transmit earth stations further be capable of operation across the entire satellite uplink frequency band as Intelsat may change carrier frequency assignments in accordance with the Agreement. Unless specifically approved by Intelsat, the aggregate allocated bandwidth of carriers within a multi-carrier transponder or allocation should not exceed 90% of Customers total allocated bandwidth in order to provide flexibility in carrier assignments and to reduce the effects of intermodulation noise, adjacent carrier interference, co-channel interference, and adjacent satellite interference.
5.0 UPLINK REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Uplink Requirements. Before any transmit earth station may access a Intelsat satellite, it must demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements set forth in Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 and have approval from Intelsats Network Operations Center. In order to ensure that the transmissions of a given earth station do not interfere with the transmissions of other earth stations utilizing the Satellite, or adjacent satellites, it is necessary that certain operational requirements be met. Specifically, users of Intelsats digital transmission services must observe the following:
(1) | The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must be maintained to within +/- 0.5 dB of the value specified by Intelsat, except under adverse weather conditions. This EIRP tolerance limit includes all earth station factors which affect EIRP variation, including HPA output power level stability and antenna pointing errors. |
(2) | The center frequency of all transmitted carriers must be maintained to within +/- 0.025 R Hz (up to a maximum of +/- 10 kHz) of the value assigned by Intelsat. [Note - The transmission rate (R) is defined as the bit rate entering the QPSK modulator, i.e., it is the information rate plus overhead multiplied by the inverse of the FEC code rate.] |
(3) | The frequency stability of the earth station receive chain must be consistent with the frequency acquisition and tracking capabilities of the demodulator. As a minimum, it is recommended that the short term (24 hour) receive chain stability be less than +/- 2 kHz and the long term stability (7 day) be less than +/- 10 kHz. |
(4) | Any earth station transmitting to a Intelsat Satellite must be under the active control of the user. Specifically, the user must provide a means for immediate cessation of transmission in the event that notification is received from Intelsat that such a step is necessary to avoid harmful interference to other users or other satellite systems. |
5.2 Uplink Restrictions. Except as may be permitted by Intelsat during a coordinated test period, no earth station operator shall transmit an unmodulated carrier through any transponder. The operation of each earth station must be in strict adherence with Customers Intelsat-approved Transmission Plan. Any deviation from that Transmission Plan must be approved in advance by Intelsat. Under no circumstances shall any earth station transmit any RF carrier to any Intelsat satellite on a frequency not authorized by Intelsat, whether or not that frequency is in use by other stations.
5.3 Carrier line-up and in-service monitoring. Facilities must be provided by the user to measure the link parameters and transmission characteristics during initial carrier line-up. In addition, in-service monitoring by the user of the carrier EIRP and the received BER is required.
In order to perform initial carrier line-up the user must provide a means to measure and adjust the transmitted carrier level. This requirement can be satisfied if a directional coupler of known coupling factor is placed between the HPA output and the antenna feed input so as to permit accurate carrier power measurements to be performed. Means must also be provided by the user to allow the transmitted power level to be adjusted to an accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, over the range 0 to minus 15 dB of the maximum EIRP specified in Service Specifications.
During initial carrier line-up it is also necessary for the user to be able to measure the Eb/No of the received carrier, either with a spectrum analyzer or through a filter of known bandwidth, and to perform bit-error-rate measurements using a pseudo-random test pattern.
During normal in-service operation, the user must monitor the carrier EIRP and the BER. The latter requirement can be satisfied through the use of the BER monitoring facility built into most digital modems.
5.4 Network Interface Considerations. If carriers transmitted via Intelsats digital transmission service are to be interfaced with a synchronous data network or other synchronous equipment, it may be necessary for the user to equip the receive station with elastic buffer storage facilities (or their equivalent) to allow for time delay variations caused by Satellite motion. The amount of storage necessary is a function of the carrier transmission rate, the maximum diurnal Satellite motion, and the longitudinal drift rate. The maximum delay variation due to Satellite motion is expected to be 0.6 milliseconds (peak-to-peak, uplink plus downlink).
Data encryption may be employed by the user, provided that the basic transmission characteristics of the carrier are not affected (i.e., provided that the emission constraints set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied).
While users are free to utilize any digital modem that meets the basic performance requirements outlined in this document, it is the users responsibility to ensure that the modems used on both ends of a given link are compatible, and that the network interface requirements for the users particular application are satisfied.
5.5 Customer Obligations and Use. Customer must, at all times, comply with the terms and conditions of Article III, including all of its Subsections, of the Master Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
5.6 Interference and Preemption Notices. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain, at each Customer transmit facility, and shall provide Intelsat with a telephone number that is continuously staffed, at all time during which Customer is transmitting or receiving signals to or from the Satellite, and an automatic facsimile that shall be maintained in operation and capable of receiving messages from Intelsat, at all times. Said telephone and facsimile shall be maintained for the purpose of receiving notices from Intelsat regarding interference or other problems arising out of the provision of the Service on, or any use of the Service Transponder, including, without limitation, any decision by Intelsat to preempt or interrupt provision of the Service to Customer pursuant to the Agreement. It is mandatory that the person who receives such messages has the technical capability and absolute authority to immediately terminate or modify the transmission if notified by Intelsat pursuant to the foregoing. All such notices shall be effective upon the placement of the telephone call or transmission of a facsimile message by Intelsat to Customer. If, for any reason, Customers telephone is not answered and its telecopier is incapable of receiving transmission, Intelsats notice shall be deemed to have occurred at the time it attempts to place a telephone call or transmit a facsimile message to Customer. Intelsat shall promptly confirm telephone notices in writing.

Customers payment of this fee does not authorize Customer to continue to use the Service.
3. SERVICE RESTORATION
3.1 Service Restoration: In the event any Service hereunder fails, Intelsat shall attempt to restore Customers Service with Service on the Satellite or another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance. Such capacity will then become the Service. If Intelsat does not restore a failed Service hereunder, this Service Order will terminate without further liability as of the time of failure and any amounts prepaid by Customer for Services following the effective date of termination shall be returned to Customer.
3.2 Service Distribution and/or Wholesale Customer Agreement Customers: Annex F is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: In cases of satellite failure or malfunction, Intelsat will use reasonable efforts to restore affected Services in accordance with the relevant Service Order/Contract.
4. SERVICE INTERRUPTION CREDITS/OUTAGE CREDITS AND CONFIRMED FAILURE
4.1 A Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurs when Service materially fails to comply with the performance parameters in the relevant Technical Appendix, and such noncompliance is confirmed by Intelsat. A Confirmed Outage will be deemed to commence when Customer notifies Intelsat, and to end when Intelsat notifies Customer or Customer has actual knowledge that Service has been restored. Any period during which Customer uses the applicable Service will not count towards the duration of the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage.
4.2 Interruption Credit or Outage Credit is a credit against future charges for the Service. Credits will be given for Service Interruptions or Confirmed Outages of one (1) hour or more, and will be calculated as a proportion of the monthly service charge, based on the number of hours in the month in which the Service Interruption or Confirmed Outage occurred.
4.3 Confirmed Failure: Subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 7.2 and 7.5 of the Master Service Agreement, if the Service fails to meet the performance specifications of the Technical Appendix for: (a) a cumulative period of 10 hours during any consecutive 30-day period, or (b) any period of time following a catastrophic event under circumstances that make it clearly ascertainable that a failure described in clause (a) will occur, the Service shall, subject to Intelsats confirmation, have suffered a Confirmed Failure. All determinations as to Confirmed Failures should be made on an individual transponder segment by transponder segment basis. In the event of a Confirmed Failure, Intelsat may, subject to availability, employ certain redundant equipment units on the Satellite or provide Service to Customer using another transponder which provides substantially similar coverage and performance or provide Service on another Intelsat satellite with substantially similar coverage and performance.
5. MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Billing Policy: Intelsat will commence billing on the Service Start Date, whether services commence or not, unless the delay is solely and directly caused by Intelsat. Intelsat may apply the Deposit/Collateral paid hereunder to cover any outstanding payments due by Customer to Intelsat under this Service Order or any other Service Order subject to the terms and conditions of the MSA. Intelsat shall return any remaining Deposit/Collateral to Customer when all Services under the MSA end and all liabilities are settled.

Provided there is available substantially similar coverage and performance on the Replacement Satellite, Intelsat may provide such capacity to Customer, in which case it will provide replacement Technical Appendices to the Customer, and this Service Order will continue with such Replacement Satellite Service for the remainder of its term. Intelsat will use all reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption of operations while the Service is being transferred. In the event Intelsat either (a) takes the Satellite out of commercial service at its orbital location and does not replace the Satellite; or (b) replaces the Satellite with a Replacement Satellite but does not provide Replacement Satellite Service, this Service Order will automatically terminate on the date that the Satellite is taken out of commercial operation or redeployed.
5.3 Transmission Plan: Transmission plans must be submitted to Intelsat for approval at least 10 business days before the Service Start Date. Customer will be permitted, subject to Intelsats approval, to modify the transmission plan from time to time. Intelsat reserves the right to charge Customer a reasonable fee for transmission plan modifications. All proposed modifications must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to their intended activation. Intelsats approval of the transmission plan is not authorization for Customer to access the Intelsat space segment; a separate message from Intelsat will provide information to Customer for coordinating the activation of carriers. This Service Order is entered into with the understanding that this Service will not create harmful technical interference to other services. Should such interference occur, Customer assumes all liability. In addition, Intelsat reserves the right to ensure that no technical impairments are caused to other services, including, if necessary, terminating the Service.

EARTH STATION AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR DIGITAL SERVICES VIA INTELSAT C-BAND AND KU-BAND TRANSPONDERS
1.0 INTRODUCTION. This document contains the earth station requirements and associated operational procedures for transmission via C-band and Ku-band transponders on all Intelsat satellites (collectively, the Operational Requirements). These Operational Requirements may be modified from time to time by Intelsat, in its reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the applicable Agreement.
2.0 EARTH STATION REQUIREMENTS.
2.1 Earth Station EIRP. The required earth station Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) per carrier is a function of the following:
(1) | the satellite receiver sensitivity (G/T), |
(2) | the outage margin provided, |
(3) | the location of the transmit and receive earth stations within the uplink and downlink beams, and, |
(4) | the loading of the transponder (i.e., the number, type and frequency assignment of the various carriers within the transponder). |
For full saturated transponder allocations, earth stations must be capable of transmitting a modulated carrier with an EIRP sufficient to achieve the nominal satellite SFD given in the Service Specifications with a margin of at least 2 dB.
For partial transponder allocations, the actual assigned operating EIRP for a given earth station will be specified in the Service Specifications, taking into account the actual transponder performance and loading prior to the time of the transmission.
2.2 EIRP Stability. The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must, under clear sky conditions, be maintained to within +/-0.5 dB of the assigned operating EIRP; provided, however, in the event that the transponder transmitted to has multiple carriers, additional EIRP variation may be permitted, upon approval of Intelsat. Under no circumstances may the EIRP exceed the assigned value by more than 1 dB.
2.3 Earth Station Transmit Gain Requirement. The gain of the transmit antenna must be sufficient to yield the maximum EIRP, as defined in Section 2.1, with a maximum carrier power level at the transmit feed to be determined by coordination agreements reached by Intelsat with other networks. If antenna size resulting from above requirement is excessive, Intelsat may reduce requirement provided that adjacent satellite flux density limits are maintained. The uplink power of TV carriers, as measured at the transmit earth station antenna feed, shall not exceed any limits specified in this document.
2.4 HPA Requirement. In determining the HPA size for a given earth station, it is necessary not only for each earth station to meet the maximum EIRP requirements for each carrier transmitted, but also to meet the emission constraints set forth in Section 3.4 or 4.2, as applicable. If a given earth station is to transmit more than one carrier, the HPA may have to operate at an output backoff of several dB in order to meet the emission constraints, and therefore, must be sized accordingly.
2.5 Antenna Performance
The fixed (hub) earth stations shall satisfy the following transmit sidelobe performance envelopes:
G < = 29 - 25 log10 (q) dBi, |
1°< q < = 7° | |||

2.7 Additional Requirements for Uplink Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band.
(1) | Earth Stations operating in the United States and Possessions: Unless otherwise expressly approved by Intelsat and then authorized by the FCC, the EIRP of any emission from any and all earth stations operating in the 13.7514.0 GHz Band shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters; provided, however, in the 13.772-13.778 GHz Band, the EIRP shall not exceed 71 dBW per 6 MHz, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters. |
(2) | Earth Stations operating outside of the United States and Possessions: With regard to all earth stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band OUTSIDE of the United States and Possessions: |
(a) Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band shall have a minimum diameter of 1.2 meters.

(c) Earth Stations operations in the 13.770 13.780 GHz Band shall have additional EIRP density limits as defined in International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations No. 5.503.
(d) Without limitation to any of the foregoing conditions or any other conditions in this Attachment or the Agreement, all earth stations must, at all times, comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, rules, and regulations, as in effect from time to time.
3.0 ANALOG VIDEO SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Not Applicable
4.0 DIGITAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Modem Requirements. The Customer may use any digital, SCPC/PSK, MCPC/PSK satellite modem that meets their particular requirements, subject to the following constraints which are designed to ensure excess interference is not experienced by adjacent satellites or by other users of the Satellite:
(1) | Digital Modems - Scrambling must be provided to ensure that uniform spectral spreading is applied to the transmitted carrier at all times. A data scrambler built in accordance with ITU Rec. V.35, or a functionally equivalent unit with similar spectrum spreading characteristics, must be employed. |
(2) | SCPC/PSK and MCPC/PSK - In general, any SCPC/PSK or MCPC/PSK modem which meets all relevant ITU recommendations is allowed, subject to prior approval by Intelsat. |
(3) | Other Modems - The use of other modem types is subject to approval by Intelsat. |
4.2 Emission Constraints. The transmit earth station must be equipped and operated in such a manner that spurious emission at the output of the antenna due to all sources does not exceed 4 dBW/4 kHz outside of the assigned carrier bandwidth.
4.3 Carrier Frequency Assignments. Intelsat shall assign Customers uplink and/or downlink frequencies in accordance with the Agreement. Earth stations must be capable of operating at any frequency and polarization within the Service Transponder. For digital transmissions, frequencies will be assigned to the nearest 0.025 MHz. It is recommended that all transmit earth stations further be capable of operation across the entire satellite uplink frequency band as Intelsat may change carrier frequency assignments in accordance with the Agreement. Unless specifically approved by Intelsat, the aggregate allocated bandwidth of carriers within a multi-carrier transponder or allocation should not exceed 90% of Customers total allocated bandwidth in order to provide flexibility in carrier assignments and to reduce the effects of intermodulation noise, adjacent carrier interference, co-channel interference, and adjacent satellite interference.
5.0 UPLINK REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Uplink Requirements. Before any transmit earth station may access a Intelsat satellite, it must demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements set forth in Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 and have approval from Intelsats Network Operations Center. In order to ensure that the transmissions of a given earth station do not interfere with the transmissions of other earth stations utilizing the Satellite, or adjacent satellites, it is necessary that certain operational requirements be met. Specifically, users of Intelsats digital transmission services must observe the following:
(1) | The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must be maintained to within +/- 0.5 dB of the value specified by Intelsat, except under adverse weather conditions. This EIRP tolerance limit includes all earth station factors which affect EIRP variation, including HPA output power level stability and antenna pointing errors. |
(2) | The center frequency of all transmitted carriers must be maintained to within +/- 0.025 R Hz (up to a maximum of +/- 10 kHz) of the value assigned by Intelsat. [Note - The transmission rate (R) is defined as the bit rate entering the QPSK modulator, i.e., it is the information rate plus overhead multiplied by the inverse of the FEC code rate.] |
(3) | The frequency stability of the earth station receive chain must be consistent with the frequency acquisition and tracking capabilities of the demodulator. As a minimum, it is recommended that the short term (24 hour) receive chain stability be less than +/- 2 kHz and the long term stability (7 day) be less than +/- 10 kHz. |
(4) | Any earth station transmitting to a Intelsat Satellite must be under the active control of the user. Specifically, the user must provide a means for immediate cessation of transmission in the event that notification is received from Intelsat that such a step is necessary to avoid harmful interference to other users or other satellite systems. |
5.2 Uplink Restrictions. Except as may be permitted by Intelsat during a coordinated test period, no earth station operator shall transmit an unmodulated carrier through any transponder. The operation of each earth station must be in strict adherence with Customers Intelsat-approved Transmission Plan. Any deviation from that Transmission Plan must be approved in advance by Intelsat. Under no circumstances shall any earth station transmit any RF carrier to any Intelsat satellite on a frequency not authorized by Intelsat, whether or not that frequency is in use by other stations.
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 10 of 11 |
5.3 Carrier line-up and in-service monitoring. Facilities must be provided by the user to measure the link parameters and transmission characteristics during initial carrier line-up. In addition, in-service monitoring by the user of the carrier EIRP and the received BER is required.
In order to perform initial carrier line-up the user must provide a means to measure and adjust the transmitted carrier level. This requirement can be satisfied if a directional coupler of known coupling factor is placed between the HPA output and the antenna feed input so as to permit accurate carrier power measurements to be performed. Means must also be provided by the user to allow the transmitted power level to be adjusted to an accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, over the range 0 to minus 15 dB of the maximum EIRP specified in Service Specifications.
During initial carrier line-up it is also necessary for the user to be able to measure the Eb/No of the received carrier, either with a spectrum analyzer or through a filter of known bandwidth, and to perform bit-error-rate measurements using a pseudo-random test pattern.
During normal in-service operation, the user must monitor the carrier EIRP and the BER. The latter requirement can be satisfied through the use of the BER monitoring facility built into most digital modems.
5.4 Network Interface Considerations. If carriers transmitted via Intelsats digital transmission service are to be interfaced with a synchronous data network or other synchronous equipment, it may be necessary for the user to equip the receive station with elastic buffer storage facilities (or their equivalent) to allow for time delay variations caused by Satellite motion. The amount of storage necessary is a function of the carrier transmission rate, the maximum diurnal Satellite motion, and the longitudinal drift rate. The maximum delay variation due to Satellite motion is expected to be 0.6 milliseconds (peak-to-peak, uplink plus downlink).
Data encryption may be employed by the user, provided that the basic transmission characteristics of the carrier are not affected (i.e., provided that the emission constraints set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied).
While users are free to utilize any digital modem that meets the basic performance requirements outlined in this document, it is the users responsibility to ensure that the modems used on both ends of a given link are compatible, and that the network interface requirements for the users particular application are satisfied.
5.5 Customer Obligations and Use. Customer must, at all times, comply with the terms and conditions of Article III, including all of its Subsections, of the Master Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
5.6 Interference and Preemption Notices. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain, at each Customer transmit facility, and shall provide Intelsat with a telephone number that is continuously staffed, at all time during which Customer is transmitting or receiving signals to or from the Satellite, and an automatic facsimile that shall be maintained in operation and capable of receiving messages from Intelsat, at all times. Said telephone and facsimile shall be maintained for the purpose of receiving notices from Intelsat regarding interference or other problems arising out of the provision of the Service on, or any use of the Service Transponder, including, without limitation, any decision by Intelsat to preempt or interrupt provision of the Service to Customer pursuant to the Agreement. It is mandatory that the person who receives such messages has the technical capability and absolute authority to immediately terminate or modify the transmission if notified by Intelsat pursuant to the foregoing. All such notices shall be effective upon the placement of the telephone call or transmission of a facsimile message by Intelsat to Customer. If, for any reason, Customers telephone is not answered and its telecopier is incapable of receiving transmission, Intelsats notice shall be deemed to have occurred at the time it attempts to place a telephone call or transmit a facsimile message to Customer. Intelsat shall promptly confirm telephone notices in writing.

Earth Station and Operational Requirements
For Digital Services Via Intelsat C-Band And Ku-Band Transponders
1.0 INTRODUCTION. This document contains the earth station requirements and associated operational procedures for transmission via C-band and Ku-band transponders on all Intelsat satellites (collectively, the Operational Requirements). These Operational Requirements may be modified from time to time by Intelsat, in its reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the applicable Agreement.
2.0 EARTH STATION REQUIREMENTS.
2.1 Earth Station EIRP. The required earth station Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) per carrier is a function of the following:
(1) the satellite receiver sensitivity (G/T),
(2) the outage margin provided,
(3) the location of the transmit and receive earth stations within the uplink and downlink beams, and,
(4) the loading of the transponder (i.e., the number, type and frequency assignment of the various carriers within the transponder).
For full saturated transponder allocations, earth stations must be capable of transmitting a modulated carrier with an EIRP sufficient to achieve the nominal satellite SFD given in the Service Specifications with a margin of at least 2 dB.
For partial transponder allocations, the actual assigned operating EIRP for a given earth station will be specified in the Service Specifications, taking into account the actual transponder performance and loading prior to the time of the transmission.
2.2 EIRP Stability. The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must, under clear sky conditions, be maintained to within +/-0.5 dB of the assigned operating EIRP; provided, however, in the event that the transponder transmitted to has multiple carriers, additional EIRP variation may be permitted, upon approval of Intelsat. Under no circumstances may the EIRP exceed the assigned value by more than 1 dB.
2.3 Earth Station Transmit Gain Requirement. The gain of the transmit antenna must be sufficient to yield the maximum EIRP, as defined in Section 2.1, with a maximum carrier. power level at the transmit feed to be determined by coordination agreements reached by Intelsat with other networks. If antenna size resulting from above requirement is excessive, Intelsat may reduce requirement provided that adjacent satellite flux density limits are maintained. The uplink power of TV carriers, as measured at the transmit earth station antenna feed, shall not exceed any limits specified in this document.
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 10 of 15 |
2.4 HPA Requirement. In determining the HPA size for a given earth station, it is necessary not only for each earth station to meet the maximum EIRP requirements for each carrier transmitted, but also to meet the emission constraints set forth in Section 3.4 or 4.2, as applicable. If a given earth station is to transmit more than one carrier, the HPA may have to operate at an output backoff of several dB in order to meet the emission constraints, and therefore, must be sized accordingly.
2.5 Antenna Performance. The fixed (hub) earth stations shall satisfy the following transmit sidelobe performance envelopes:
G < = 29 - 25 log10 (0) dBi, | 1°< | 0 < = 7° | ||
G<=8 dBi, | 7°< | 0 < = 9.2° | ||
G < = 32 - 25 log10 (0) dBi | 9.2°< | 0 < = 48° | ||

-50 + (29-25*Log10 (0)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ 0 £ 7°
For operations outside the territory of the United States of America the co-polarized off-axis EIRP spectral-density emitted from the earth station, in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) as it appears at the particular earth station location, shall not exceed the following values:
-45 + (29-25*Log10 (0)) dBW/Hz 1.5°£ 0 £ 7°
Where 0 is the angle in degrees between the main beam axis and the direction considered.
2.6 Transmit Earth Station Polarization.
For the fixed (hub) earth stations the earth station cross-polarization discrimination must be a minimum of 30 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
For aircraft earth stations the discrimination must be a minimum of 15 dB within the main beam of the earth stations transmit antenna pattern.
2.7 Additional Requirements for Uplink Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band.
(1) Earth Stations operating in the United States and Possessions: Unless otherwise expressly approved by Intelsat and then authorized by the FCC, the EIRP of any emission from any and all
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 11 of 15 |
earth stations operating in the 13.75 - 14.0 GHz Band shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters; provided, however, in the 13.772-13.778 GHz Band, the EIRP shall not exceed 71 dBW per 6 MHz, with a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters.
(2) Earth Stations operating outside of the United States and Possessions: With regard to all earth stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band OUTSIDE of the United States and Possessions:
(a) Earth Stations operating in the 13.75 14.0 GHz Band shall have a minimum diameter of 1.2 meters.
(b) EIRP emissions from any and all earth stations operating with an antenna diameter greater than or equal to 4.5 meters shall be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW.
(c) Earth Stations operations in the 13.770 13.780 GHz Band shall have additional EIRP density limits as defined in International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations No. 5.503.
(d) Without limitation to any of the foregoing conditions or any other conditions in this Attachment or the Agreement, all earth stations must, at all times, comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, rules, and regulations, as in effect from time to time.
3.0 ANALOG VIDEO SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Not Applicable
4.0 DIGITAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Modem Requirements. The Customer may use any digital, SCPC/PSK, MCPC/PSK satellite modem that meets their particular requirements, subject to the following constraints which are designed to ensure excess interference is not experienced by adjacent satellites or by other users of the Satellite:
(1) Digital Modems - Scrambling must be provided to ensure that uniform spectral spreading is applied to the transmitted carrier at all times. A data scrambler built in accordance with ITU Rec. V.35, or a functionally equivalent unit with similar spectrum spreading characteristics, must be employed.
(2) SCPC/PSK and MCPC/PSK - In general, any SCPC/PSK or MCPC/PSK modem which meets all relevant ITU recommendations is allowed, subject to prior approval by Intelsat.
(3) Other Modems - The use of other modem types is subject to approval by Intelsat.
4.2 Emission Constraints. The transmit earth station must be equipped and operated in such a manner that spurious emission at the output of the antenna due to all sources does not exceed 4 dBW/4 kHz outside of the assigned carrier bandwidth.
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 12 of 15 |
4.3 Carrier Frequency Assignments. Intelsat shall assign Customers uplink and/or downlink frequencies in accordance with the Agreement. Earth stations must be capable of operating at any frequency and polarization within the Service Transponder. For digital transmissions, frequencies will be assigned to the nearest 0.025 MHz. It is recommended that all transmit earth stations further be capable of operation across the entire satellite uplink frequency band as Intelsat may change carrier frequency assignments in accordance with the Agreement. Unless specifically approved by Intelsat, the aggregate allocated bandwidth of carriers within a multi-carrier transponder or allocation should not exceed 90% of Customers total allocated bandwidth in order to provide flexibility in carrier assignments and to reduce the effects of intermodulation noise, adjacent carrier interference, co-channel interference, and adjacent satellite interference.
5.0 UPLINK REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Uplink Requirements. Before any transmit earth station may access a Intelsat satellite, it must demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements set forth in Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 and have approval from Intelsats Network Operations Center. In order to ensure that the transmissions of a given earth station do not interfere with the transmissions of other earth stations utilizing the Satellite, or adjacent satellites, it is necessary that certain operational requirements be met. Specifically, users of Intelsats digital transmission services must observe the following:
(1) The EIRP in the direction of the Satellite must be maintained to within +/- 0.5 dB of the value specified by Intelsat, except under adverse weather conditions. This EIRP tolerance limit includes all earth station factors which affect EIRP variation, including HPA output power level stability and antenna pointing errors.
(2) The center frequency of all transmitted carriers must be maintained to within +/- 0.025 R Hz (up to a maximum of +/- 10 kHz) of the value assigned by Intelsat. [Note - The transmission rate (R) is defined as the bit rate entering the QPSK modulator, i.e., it is the information rate plus overhead multiplied by the inverse of the FEC code rate.]
(3) The frequency stability of the earth station receive chain must be consistent with the frequency acquisition and tracking capabilities of the demodulator. As a minimum, it is recommended that the short term (24 hour) receive chain stability be less than +/- 2 kHz and the long term stability (7 day) be less than +/-10 kHz.
(4) Any earth station transmitting to a Intelsat Satellite must be under the active control of the user. Specifically, the user must provide a means for immediate cessation of transmission in the event that notification is received from Intelsat that such a step is necessary to avoid harmful interference to other users or other satellite systems.
5.2 Uplink Restrictions. Except as may be permitted by Intelsat during a coordinated test period, no earth station operator shall transmit an unmodulated carrier through any transponder. The operation of each earth station must be in strict adherence with Customers Intelsat-approved Transmission Plan. Any deviation from that Transmission Plan must be approved in advance by Intelsat. Under no circumstances shall any earth station transmit any RF carrier to any Intelsat satellite on a frequency not authorized by Intelsat, whether or not that frequency is in use by other stations.
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 13 of 15 |
5.3 Carrier line-up and in-service monitoring. Facilities must be provided by the user to measure the link parameters and transmission characteristics during initial carrier line-up. In addition, in-service monitoring by the user of the carrier EIRP and the received BER is required.
In order to perform initial carrier line-up the user must provide a means to measure and adjust the transmitted carrier level. This requirement can be satisfied if a directional coupler of known coupling factor is placed between the HPA output and the antenna feed input so as to permit accurate carrier power measurements to be performed. Means must also be provided by the user to allow the transmitted power level to be adjusted to an accuracy of +1- 0.5 dB, over the range 0 to minus 15 dB of the maximum EIRP specified in Service Specifications.
During initial carrier line-up it is also necessary for the user to be able to measure the Eb/No of the received carrier, either with a spectrum analyzer or through a filter of known bandwidth, and to perform bit-error-rate measurements using a pseudo-random test pattern.
During normal in-service operation, the user must monitor the carrier EIRP and the BER. The latter requirement can be satisfied through the use of the BER monitoring facility built into most digital modems.
5.4 Network Interface Considerations. If carriers transmitted via Intelsats digital transmission service are to be interfaced with a synchronous data network or other synchronous equipment, it may be necessary for the user to equip the receive station with elastic buffer storage facilities (or their equivalent) to allow for time delay variations caused by Satellite motion. The amount of storage necessary is a function of the carrier transmission rate, the maximum diurnal Satellite motion, and the longitudinal drift rate. The maximum delay variation due to Satellite motion is expected to be 0.6 milliseconds (peak-to-peak, uplink plus downlink).
Data encryption may be employed by the user, provided that the basic transmission characteristics of the carrier are not affected (i.e., provided that the emission constraints set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied).
While users are free to utilize any digital modem that meets the basic performance requirements outlined in this document, it is the users responsibility to ensure that the modems used on both ends of a given link are compatible, and that the network interface requirements for the users particular application are satisfied.
5.5 Customer Obligations and Use. Customer must, at all times, comply with the terms and conditions of Article III, including all of its Subsections, of the Master Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
5.6 Interference and Preemption Notices. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain, at each Customer transmit facility, and shall provide Intelsat with a telephone number that is continuously staffed, at all time during which Customer is transmitting or receiving signals to or from the Satellite, and an automatic facsimile that shall be maintained in operation and capable of receiving messages from Intelsat, at all times. Said telephone and facsimile shall be maintained for the purpose of receiving notices from Intelsat regarding interference or other problems arising out of the provision of the Service on, or any use of the Service Transponder, including, without limitation, any decision by Intelsat to preempt or interrupt provision of the Service to Customer pursuant to the Agreement. It is mandatory that
Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary | Page 14 of 15 |
the person who receives such messages has the technical capability and absolute authority to immediately terminate or modify the transmission if notified by Intelsat pursuant to the foregoing. All such notices shall be effective upon the placement of the telephone call or transmission of a facsimile message by Intelsat to Customer. If, for any reason, Customers telephone is not answered and its telecopier is incapable of receiving transmission, Intelsats notice shall be deemed to have occurred at the time it attempts to place a telephone call or transmit a facsimile message to Customer. Intelsat shall promptly confirm telephone notices in writing.

Arlington Heights Road, Suite 500, Itasca, IL 60143 (Gogo) and AeroSat Avionics LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, with a principal place of business located at 62 Route 101A, Amherst, NH 03031 (AeroSat). Gogo and AeroSat may be referred to herein individually as a Party or collectively as the Parties.
It is agreed as follows:
1. | Scope. Under the terms of this Agreement, Gogo retains AeroSat to provide to Gogo any product set forth in Exhibit A (the Product), and any other Deliverables agreed to by the Parties, in writing, manufactured in accordance with the requirements and AeroSats typical system performance as defined in Exhibit F for Product pursuant to purchase orders issued to AeroSat. The term Deliverables means the Product and any other goods or services set forth in Exhibit A. |
2. | Manufacture and Acceptance. AeroSat will manufacture and deliver the Product and Deliverables described in Exhibit A according to the schedule described in Exhibit A. |
2.1 | First Product Acceptance. Gogo will have up to thirty (30) business days to examine the initial embodiment of each Product and determine if it conforms to the applicable specifications and requirements, and if it was provisioned in accordance with the applicable Service Level Agreement (SLA), if any, as defined in Exhibit E. If any Product or Deliverable does not meet the requirements as set forth in Exhibit F, Gogo will indicate rejection of the foregoing, and provide AeroSat with a written list of errors and return the defective Product to AeroSat. Within ten (10) days of receiving a rejection and the defective Product, AeroSat will correct such errors so that the Product and Deliverable conforms to the applicable requirements. Upon correction of the errors, AeroSat will redeliver the corrected items to Gogo, at AeroSats expense, which corrected items will be subject to the Acceptance procedure described in this Section.

In such circumstances, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. |
7 | Disputes regarding Release Event(s) |
7.1 | All disputes regarding whether the Release Event(s) specified in the Notice occurred before the Licensee delivered the Notice to Escrow Agent shall be decided by one (1) arbitrator. The place of the arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia. If the Licensor and Licensee have not agreed on an arbitrator within seven (7) days after the Licensor receives the Demand, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) shall appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days of receipt of a request to appoint an arbitrator, which may be filed by either the Licensor or Licensee. The arbitrators agreement to the deadlines set forth in this Clause 7 shall be a condition to the appointment as arbitrator, but failure to adhere to these time limits shall not be a basis for challenging the award. |
7.2 | Within seven (7) days of the appointment of the arbitrator, the Licensor and Licensee shall each provide written submissions to the arbitrator, together with all documentary evidence in their possession in support of their claim. |
7.3 | Based solely on the written submissions of the Licensor and Licensee, and without the need for a hearing, the arbitrator shall render and deliver his or her award to the Licensor, the Licensee and Escrow Agent within fourteen (14) days of receiving the written submissions from the Licensor and Licensee. The Licensee and Licensor may agree to extend this time limit or the arbitrator may do so in its discretion if he or she determines that the interest of justice so requires. |
7.4 | The award shall be limited to a determination of whether or not there existed a Release Event at the time Licensee delivered the Notice to Escrow Agent and, where the Licensor claims within the timescales specified in Clause 6.3.2 that the Release Event has been rectified and the Licensee does not agree, to a determination of whether or not the Release Event has in fact been rectified. In addition, the arbitrator shall award the prevailing party its attorneys fees and costs, including the fees and costs of the arbitrator. |
7.5 | The arbitral award shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto. If the arbitrator finds that a Release Event existed at the time of delivery of the Notice to Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to release and deliver the Escrow Material to the Licensee within 5 working days of the decision being notified by the arbitrator to the parties. If the arbitrator finds to the contrary, then Escrow Agent shall not release the Escrow Material and shall continue to hold the Escrow Material in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
7.6 | The Parties agree that the arbitration provided in this Clause 7 shall not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding regarding disputes between or among any of the Parties. |
8 of 17

8.2 | In the event that Escrow Agent releases the Escrow Material to Licensee, Licensee shall be permitted to use the Escrow Material only for the Release Purposes. |
8.3 | Subject to Clause 8.4, Escrow Agent agrees to keep all Confidential Information relating to the Escrow Material and/or the Software that comes into its possession or to its knowledge under this Agreement in strict confidence and secrecy.

8.4 | Escrow Agent may release the Escrow Material to the extent that it is required by applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, court order, judgment, decree or other legal process, provided that, unless prohibited by the terms of the order or the relevant law or regulation, Escrow Agent has notified Licensor and Licensee prior to such required release, has given Licensor and/or Licensee an opportunity to contest (at their own expense) such required release, within the time parameters mandated by such applicable regulation, court order, judgment, decree or other legal process, Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized in its sole discretion to obey and comply with all orders, judgments, decrees so entered or issued by any court, without the necessity of inquiring as to the validity of such order, judgment or decree, or the courts underlying jurisdiction. Where Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Licensee, Licensor or any third party by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that such order, judgment or decree may subsequently be reversed, modified or vacated. |
9 | Intellectual Property Rights |
9.1 | The release of the Escrow Material to Licensee will not act as an assignment of any Intellectual Property Rights that Licensor or any third party possesses in the Escrow Material. However, upon deposit of the Escrow Material, the title to the media upon which the Escrow Material is deposited (Media) is transferred to Escrow Agent. Upon delivery of the Escrow Material back to Licensor, the title to the Media shall transfer back to the Licensor. If the Escrow Material is released to the Licensee, the title to the Media shall transfer to the Licensee. |
9.2 | The Intellectual Property Rights in the Integrity Testing report and any Full Verification report shall remain vested in Escrow Agent.

10.4 | If the Escrow Material fails to satisfy Escrow Agents Full Verification tests within the timescales originally provided for the completion of the Full Verification test as a result of being defective or incomplete in content, Escrow Agents fees, charges and expenses in relation to the Full Verification tests shall be paid by Licensor. |
10.5 | Should the Escrow Material deposited fail to satisfy Escrow Agents Integrity Testing or Full Verification tests under Clauses 10.2 or 10.3, Licensor shall, within 14 days of the receipt of the notice of test failure from Escrow Agent, deposit such new, corrected or revised Escrow Material as shall be necessary to ensure its compliance with its warranties and obligations in Clause 2.

14.11 | This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts. Each counterpart when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. |

(c) If any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds (or Net Cash Proceeds shall be received on behalf of any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries) (including cash proceeds subsequently received (as and when received) in respect of noncash consideration initially received) from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered within 10 days in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall apply on such date an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(d).
36
(d) Subject to Section 4.8(b), amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be applied to reduce the remaining scheduled installments (including the final scheduled installment on the Maturity Date (or such later maturity date of any Loans extended in accordance with Section 3.3)) of principal due in respect of the Loans on a pro rata basis. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to LIBOR Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. If a LIBOR Loan is prepaid pursuant to Section 4.2 on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Loans required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.2, to decline all of any prepayment of its Loans pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.2, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans but was so declined shall be re-offered to those Lenders who have initially accepted such prepayment (such re-offer to be made to each such Lender based on the percentage which such Lenders Loans represents of the aggregate Loans of all such Lenders who have initially accepted such prepayment). In the event of such a re-offer, the relevant Lenders may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, to decline all of the amount of such prepayment that is re-offered to them, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans pursuant to such re-offer but was so declined (any such amount, a Retained Amount) shall be retained by the Borrowers to be used for any other purpose permitted pursuant to the Available Basket Amount.
4.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) BA may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. BA may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
(b) Any LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by BA giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term Interest Period set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or
37
their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if BA shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
(c) The conversions and continuations of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of (i) a borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or equal to the remaining principal balance of the Loans) and (ii) the LIBOR Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
4.4 Limitations on LIBOR Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of LIBOR Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that no more than ten LIBOR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
4.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all outstanding Loans and other amounts payable hereunder (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%, and (ii) in the case of any such other amounts, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case from the date such Event of Default occurred until such Event of Default is no longer continuing.
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify BA and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify BA and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
38
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of BA, deliver to BA a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.6(a).
4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders in good faith) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to BA and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.
4.8 Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments. (a) Each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made on a pro rata basis.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers (other than payments made under Section 4.9 or 4.10) on account of principal of, and interest and fees on, a Tranche of Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Tranche then held by the Lenders. Optional prepayments and mandatory prepayments shall be applied ratably among Tranches of Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
39
the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the applicable date of borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lenders share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such date of borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrowers.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by BA prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrowers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers are making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.
4.9 Requirements of Law. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent covered by Section 4.10 or United States withholding Taxes and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);
40
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender in good faith deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders capital or on the capital of any Person controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or such Persons policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor accompanied by a certificate showing calculation thereof in reasonable detail, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Person for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable (with reasonably detailed backup calculations) pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The protection of this Section 4.9 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
4.10 Taxes. (a) Except as required by any Requirement of Law, all payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding (i) net income taxes, franchise or similar taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes), branch profits taxes and Taxes on doing business or Taxes measured by or
41
imposed on overall capital or net worth, in each case, imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of such Agent or Lender being organized under the laws of, or having a principal office, or, in the case of a Lender, its applicable lending office, located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or that are imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (ii) any United States federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA. If the Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall be required by any Requirement of Law to deduct any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (Non-Excluded Taxes) or Other Taxes from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, then (x) the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions attributable to additional amounts payable under this Section), such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (z) the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Requirement of Law; provided, however, that the Borrowers and such other Loan Party shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (A) that are attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (B) that are United States withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender under the law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, if such Lender is an intermediary, partnership or other flow-through entity for U.S. tax purposes, the date on which the relevant beneficiary, partner or member of such Lender becomes a beneficiary, partner or member thereof, if later) or designates a new lending office (or, in the case of a Participant, on the date such Participant becomes a Participant hereunder, or, if such Participant is an intermediary, partnership or other flow-through entity for U.S. tax purposes, the date on which the relevant beneficiary, partner or member of such Participant becomes a beneficiary, partner or member thereof, if later), except to the extent that such Lender or its assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of such designation or assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party, as the case may be, shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.10, as promptly as practicable thereafter the relevant Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party from such Governmental Authority showing payment thereof. If the applicable Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Loan Party shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
42
(d) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a Non-U.S. Lender) shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent two complete copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP, or Form W-8IMY (with any required attachments) or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of portfolio interest, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Holdings at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Holdings (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent two complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, and, to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(e) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Holdings or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Holdings or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.10(e), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
43
(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10 or Section 4.9, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 4.10 or Section 4.9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender in connection with obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that in no event will the Administrative Agent or the Lender be required to pay any amount to the extent such payment would cause the Administrative Agent or the Lender to be in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or the Lender would have been in the absence of the indemnity payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
(g) For purposes of this Section 4.10, if a Lender is treated as a domestic partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any withholding or payment of U.S. withholding Tax by such Lender in respect of any such Lenders partners with respect to any payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement shall be considered a withholding or payment of such Tax by such Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be.
(h) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
4.11 Indemnity. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any direct, actual out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after any Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after any Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any other default by any Borrower in the repayment of LIBOR Loans when and as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. A certificate (including reasonably detailed backup calculations) as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to any Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
44
4.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Holdings, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender in good faith, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a).
4.13 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) (such Lender, an Affected Lender) or (b) is a Non-Consenting Lender, with a replacement 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) in the case of an Affected Lender, prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts (excluding the amounts described in clause (xi) below but including accrued but unpaid interest to the date of purchase) owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender or an Approved Fund or Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), as the case may be, (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, (x) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, the replacement financial institution shall consent at the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which the replaced Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and (xi) in the event that a Non-Consenting Lender is replaced at any time prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender an amount equal to the Applicable Premium. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lenders interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.13.
4.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
45
(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lenders share thereof.
(c) The failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Each of the Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of such Borrower evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit E with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.
4.15 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, (i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Loans, whereupon any request for LIBOR Loans (or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or to continue LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans (or a request to continue Base Rate Loans as such or to convert LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 4.15, a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

SECTION 5.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take all or any actions and exercise any remedies available under the Loan Documents or applicable law or in equity.
SECTION 10. THE AGENTS
10.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers and actions as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term agent (or any other similar term) herein or in any other Loan Documents with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
10.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent of such Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Related Parties and those of such Persons Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of such Person and that of such Persons Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility as well as their activities as the Agents. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.
10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall (i) be 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 Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct), (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any other Secured Party for or have a duty to ascertain or
89
inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement, any Specified Cash Management Agreement or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement, any Specified Cash Management Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent, (iii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under United States Bankruptcy Code, state bankruptcy law or similar law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any United States Bankruptcy Code, state bankruptcy law or similar law or (iv) not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents 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 or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any other Person.
10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) 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 Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 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. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all 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 Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
90
in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all 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 and all other Secured Parties. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.
10.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a 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 (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); 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 Secured Parties.
10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, 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 Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
91
10.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5 to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lenders Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense that is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section). The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Person serving as an Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Person were not an Agent and, with respect to its Loans and Commitments, each such Person shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms Lender, Lenders, Secured Party and Secured Parties shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
10.9 Successor Agents. Either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 45th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agents resignation shall nonetheless become effective (and such Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the retiring Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Agent is appointed)) and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be
92
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agents resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.
10.10 Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.
10.11 Lead Arrangers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each of the Lead Arrangers is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither of the Lead Arrangers in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.
10.12 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency of Liquidation Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention or otherwise in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Secured Parties and Agents under Section 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and, in either case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under Section 11.5.
10.13 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly
93
withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Loan Party.
10.14 Cash Management Banks and Qualified Counterparties. No Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of the Security Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Security Documents shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.

their Affiliates or their respective securities) (each, a Public Lender). Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked PUBLIC which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word PUBLIC shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials PUBLIC, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Parent, the Borrowers, their Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked PUBLIC are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as Public Investor; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked PUBLIC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as Public Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked PUBLIC, unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms thereof.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the Private Side Information or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lenders compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the Public Side Information portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Parent, the Borrowers, their Affiliate or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
11.5 Indemnification; Expenses. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all its reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to such Agent and filing and recording fees and
99
expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to BA prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter as such Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to such Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, affiliates, agents, successors, partners, representatives and assigns (each, an Indemnitee) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (regardless of whether such Person or any Loan Party is or is not a party to any such actions or suits and regardless of whether the Indemnitee is the plaintiff or defendant in such actions or suits) and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities); provided, that no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitees controlled affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons) or any of its or their respective directors, officers and employees. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrowers agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.5 shall not apply to Taxes except as necessary to hold an Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities with respect to any non-Tax claim. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
11.6 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) no Borrower may 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 any Borrower 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.
100
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:
(A) BA; provided that no consent of BA shall be required for an (x) assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee or (y) any assignment prior to the completion of the primary syndication of the Facility (as determined by the Lead Arrangers) to Eligible Assignees identified by the Lead Arrangers to BA (and consented to by BA) on or prior to the Closing Date; and provided, further that such consent of BA shall have been deemed to have been given if BA has not responded within five Business Days of a request for such consent; and
(B) the Administrative Agent.
(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, an assignment effected by a Lead Arranger (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the primary syndication of the Commitments or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of BA and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of BA shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, (2) that such consent of BA shall have been deemed to have been given if BA has not responded within five Business Days of a request for such consent and (3) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (it being understood that payment of only one processing fee shall be required in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds); and
(C) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.
101
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders 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 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5; provided, that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of Sections 4.10(d) and (e)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 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.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption 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 owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may 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 Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and any Lender at the Administration Agents office, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignees completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the Assignment Effective Date.
(vi) On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to BA marked cancelled.
102
(vii) With respect to any assignment after the completion of the primary syndication of the Facility (as determined by the Lead Arrangers), the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make any greater payment under Section 4.9 or Section 4.10 than the Borrowers would have been obligated to make in the absence of any such assignment, unless the Borrowers have expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the assignee becomes a Lender.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person) (a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lenders 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, (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, (D) no participation shall be permitted to be made to any Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any officer or director of any such Person and (E) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement 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; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) (a) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the second proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (b) directly affects such Participant or (2) requires the consent of all Lenders pursuant to the second proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 (subject to the obligations therein, including the requirements of Sections 4.10(d) and (e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
103
(ii) No Borrower shall be obligated to make any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than such Borrower would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation sold to such Participant, unless BA has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of the sale of such participation or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Sections 4.10(d) and (e) and Section 4.12 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 4.10(d) and (e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other Person, and may sell or securitize such obligations, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or securitization; 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 addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may (without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or any Borrower) grant a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Notes (if any) held by it to the trustee or other representative of holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee or other representative actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) such trustee or other representative shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under this Agreement and the Notes (if any) even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(e) The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.
(f) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Eligible Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the BA if it would require any Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, in each case as a result of any such Eligible Assignee or Participant electing to securitize obligations of such Eligible Assignee or Participant, as applicable, and the Borrowers shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as they may reasonably request from any such Eligible Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
104
11.7 Sharing of Payments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a Benefitted Lender) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, 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 Section 9.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase or benefits shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates who is owed Obligations is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 11.7(b) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify BA and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by the Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf or tif format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
11.9 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
105
11.10 Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Lease and Services Documents and the engagement letter dated May 15, 2012 among Parent, BA and the Lead Arrangers represent the entire agreement of Parent, the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein.
11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
11.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Loan Party or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
106
11.13 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the Lenders), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arms-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.
11.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section 11.1) to take any action requested by BA having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document (including, without limitation, the release of any Guarantor from its obligations if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of Holdings as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder) or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.
(b) At such time as the Discharge of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) has occurred, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents (including the Guarantee set forth therein) shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Borrower, at such Borrowers expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents reasonably requested by such Borrower to evidence such termination.
107
11.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or no less restrictive than as those of this Section 11.15, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of BA or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15. Information shall mean all information received from any Borrower and related to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by any Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from any Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.
11.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES IT JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
108
11.17 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
11.18 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns, the Indemnitees, Participants to the extent expressly contemplated hereby and Agent Related Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy, obligation, liability or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
11.19 Communications Law Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents or the Lease and Services Documents, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders, nor any of their agents, will take any action pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the Lease and Services Documents that would constitute or result in any assignment of the Communications Licenses or any transfer of control thereof, within the meaning of Section 310(d) of the Communications Act or other Communications Law, if such assignment of license or transfer of control thereof would require thereunder the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining such approval of the FCC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents or the Lease and Services Documents, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the FCC does not permit the grant of a third party non-governmental security interest, or the creation of any other Lien, in an FCC license, permit or authorization itself; thus, any security interest in the Collateral granted under any of the Loan Documents, to the extent it relates to any of the Governmental Authorizations issued by the FCC, is granted only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
11.20 Joint and Several Liability. In consideration of the establishment of the Commitments and the making of the Loans hereunder, and of the benefits to BA and each of the other Borrowers that are anticipated to result from the successful operation of the business of BA and each of the other Borrowers, BA and each of the other Borrowers agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, it will be a co-borrower hereunder and shall be fully liable for the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations, both severally and jointly with the other Borrowers. Accordingly, each Borrower irrevocably agrees with each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that such Borrower will make prompt payment in full in cash when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) of the Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. BA and each of the other Borrowers hereby further agrees that if any Loan Party shall fail to pay in full in cash when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) any of the Obligations, BA and each other Borrower will promptly pay the same in full in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full in cash when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
109
11.21 Obligations Unconditional. (a) The obligations of BA and each of the other Borrowers under Section 11.20 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 11.21 that the obligations of BA and each other Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of BA and the other Borrowers agrees that its obligations under Section 11.20 shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives, all rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Borrower has knowledge thereof):
(i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any of the Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;
(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents or any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement;
(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any of the Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Obligations;
(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of BA or any other Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries and any corresponding restructuring of the Obligations;
(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or substitution for, the Obligations or subordination of the Obligations to any other obligations;
(vi) the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;
(vii) the exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Collateral) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may decide and whether or
110
not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that BA or any other Borrower would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each of BA and the other Borrowers hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Borrower under applicable law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2939, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433; and
(viii) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Borrower as an obligor in respect of the Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of BA or any other Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Borrower under Section 11.20 or of any security interest granted by any Borrower, whether in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in any other instance.
(b) Each of BA and each of the other Borrowers hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance, notice of dishonor, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
(c) The obligations of BA and each of the other Borrowers under Sections 11.20, 11.21 and 11.22 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (or part thereof) by or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of the Obligations is rescinded, disgorged or must be otherwise restored or returned by any Secured Party, whether as a result of insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of BA or any other Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, BA or any other Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made, or if any Secured Party repays, restores, or returns, in whole or in part, any payment or property previously paid or transferred to such Secured Party in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation, because the payment or transfer or the incurrence of the obligation is so satisfied, is declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any state or federal law (collectively a Voidable Transfer), or because such Secured Party elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with an assertion that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such Secured Party repays, restores, or returns, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys fees of such Secured Party related thereto, the liability of each Borrower hereunder will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist as though the Voidable Transfer had never been made.
(d) BA and each of the other Borrowers agrees that, as between the Borrowers, in their capacity as co-obligors with joint and several liability, and the Lenders, the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.1 hereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
111
payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.1) for purposes of Section 11.20 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by each of the other Borrowers, in their capacity as co-obligors, for purposes of such Section 11.20.
(e) The agreements of the Borrowers under Sections 11.20, 11.21 and 11.22 are continuing agreements and undertakings, and shall apply to all of the Obligations whenever arising.
11.22 Obligations Joint and Several. (a) Each of BA and each of the other Borrowers further agrees that its agreement to be jointly and severally liable with BA and the other Borrowers for the Obligations constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in favor of BA or any other Borrower or any other Person.
(b) The obligations of BA and each of the other Borrowers hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations in respect of BA or any other Borrower or otherwise.
(c) Upon payment by BA or any of the other Borrowers of any sums as provided above, all rights, if any, of BA or such other Borrower against BA or such other Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any such Person as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior Discharge of the Obligations and otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
11.23 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply any amounts received from the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other comparable provision of any other Security Document in the following order:
(i) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses thereof under the Loan Documents;
(ii) to the Lenders, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Lenders under the Loan Documents (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations to be distributed pursuant to this clause (ii) owed to them on the date of any such distribution);
(iii) to the Lenders, to pay any outstanding interest under the Loan Documents then due and owing and remaining unpaid (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations to be distributed pursuant to this clause (iii) owed to them on the date of any such distribution);
112
(iv) to the Lenders, to pay all other Obligations under the Loan Documents then due and owing and remaining unpaid (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations to be distributed pursuant to this clause (iv) owed to them on the date of any such distribution);
(v) to the Lenders, to prepay all other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations to be distributed pursuant to this clause (v) owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and
(vi) any balance of any such amounts remaining after application as described above shall be paid over to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:
(a) Fair Value
The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.
(b) Present Fair Salable Value
The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are sold with reasonable promptness in an arms-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.
(c) Stated Liabilities
The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
(d) Identified Contingent Liabilities
The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Transactions (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by Responsible Officers of Holdings.
(e) Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature
For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent liabilities) otherwise become payable.
(f) Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital
For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after consummation of the Transactions are a going concern and have sufficient capital to ensure that they will continue to be a going concern for such period.
3. For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of Holdings under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.
(a) I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.
(c) As chief financial officer of Holdings, I am familiar with the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.
4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Holdings that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value and Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (ii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature.

At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee or any of the Lenders may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee shall credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived; (e) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions hereof; and/or (f) exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.
4.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
4.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee or the Lenders, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee or the Lenders in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
7
4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Mortgagee may, in accordance with Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement, release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment and (b) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. Borrower waives the statutory right of redemption and equity of redemption.
4.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee or the Lenders shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee or the Lenders shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee or the Lenders thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
4.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
4.8 Occupancy after Foreclosure. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.
4.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee and each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any Lender under this Section, or otherwise under this Mortgage shall bear interest from the date that such
8
sum is advanced or expense incurred if not repaid within five (5) days after demand therefor, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee or the Lenders in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.
4.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Section, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Section 5, the security interests under Section 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any Lender to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
SECTION 5. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
5.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Mortgagor herein, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have a revocable license from Mortgagee to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Mortgagor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Mortgagee (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor).
5.2 Perfection upon Recordation. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Liens permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagees interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, choate and enforced as to Mortgagor and all third parties, including, without
9
limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.
5.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.
SECTION 6. SECURITY AGREEMENT
6.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards. To this end, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a first and prior security interest in the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations subject to the Liens permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor.
6.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagees security interest hereunder and Mortgagee may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Mortgagors chief executive office is at the address set forth on Schedule 4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
6.3 Fixture Filing. This Mortgage shall also constitute a fixture filing for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Mortgagor) and Secured Party (Mortgagee) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.
10
SECTION 7. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor or any other notices that Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagees interest, if Mortgagor shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after written request by Mortgagee, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Fixtures, Property Agreements, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagees security interests and rights in or to any of the Mortgaged Property, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; provided, (i) Mortgagee shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Mortgagor; (ii) any sums advanced by Mortgagee in such performance shall be added to and included in the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness provided that from the date incurred said advance is not repaid within five (5) days demand therefor; (iii) Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Mortgagee; and (iv) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action which it is empowered to take under this Section.
SECTION 8. MORTGAGEE AS AGENT
Mortgagee has been appointed to act as Mortgagee hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Qualified Counterparties and Cash Management Banks. Mortgagee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Mortgaged Property), solely in accordance with this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement; provided, Mortgagee shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of (a) Required Lenders, or (b) after the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Required Lenders or, if applicable, such holders being referred to herein as Requisite Obligees). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Qualified Counterparty and Cash Management Bank, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property, it being understood and agreed by such Qualified Counterparty and Cash Management Bank that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Mortgagee for the benefit of Lenders, Qualified Counterparties and Cash Management Banks in accordance with the terms of this Section. Mortgagee shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the terms of
11
the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Mortgagee all sums, securities and other items of Mortgaged Property held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Mortgagee such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Mortgagee of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Mortgagee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage thereafter accruing. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Mortgagee, the provisions of this Mortgage shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was Mortgagee hereunder.
SECTION 9. TERMINATION AND RELEASE.
This Mortgage and the Liens and security interests created by this Mortgage shall be released in accordance with the terms of Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 10. LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS
[to be provided, if any, by local counsel or title company]
SECTION 11. [MULTI-SITE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.
Mortgagor acknowledges that this Mortgage is one of a number of Mortgages and other security documents (Other Mortgages) that secure the Obligations. Mortgagor agrees that, subject to the terms of Section 9 hereof, the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of the Obligations, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Obligation or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages. Subject to the terms of Section 9 hereof, the lien of this Mortgage shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any of the Obligations or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the Other Mortgages or any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Mortgagees rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages or any of Mortgagees rights and remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor specifically consents and agrees that Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate and waives any right of subrogation.]
12
SECTION | 12. [LEASE PROTECTIONS |
12.1 Subject Lease. Mortgagor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) | Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee a true, correct and complete copy of the Subject Lease, including all amendments and modifications, existing as of the date hereof. |
(b) | Mortgagor has not executed or entered into any modifications or amendments of the Lease, either orally or in writing, other than written amendments that have been disclosed to Mortgagee in writing. Except as expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall not enter into any new leases of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any modifications or amendments of the Lease except with Mortgagees prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |
(c) | No default now exists under the Lease. No event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default or would entitle Mortgagor or any other party under the Lease to cancel the same or otherwise avoid its obligations. |
(d) | Except for this Mortgage or other assignments in favor of Mortgagee, Mortgagor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Lease or of Mortgagors right, title and interest in the same. |
(e) | This Mortgage conforms and complies with the Lease, does not constitute a violation or default under the Lease, and is and shall at all times constitute a valid lien (subject only to matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagors interests in the Lease. |
(f) | Mortgagor shall pay, when due and payable, the rentals, additional rentals, and other charges required by, and payable under, the Lease in accordance with the Lease. |
(g) | Mortgagor shall perform and observe all terms, covenants, and conditions that Mortgagor must perform and observe as lessee under the Lease, and do everything necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired Mortgagors rights under the Lease. Mortgagor shall provide all insurance required by the Lease. All such insurance shall comply with this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall enforce the Lessors obligations under the Lease so that Mortgagor may enjoy all its rights as lessee under the Lease. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee all information that Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time concerning Mortgagors compliance with the Lease. |
(h) | Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default or termination that it receives from the Lessor. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any request that either party to the Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Lease |
13
and the guidelines of the institution of any such arbitration. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the arbitrators determination in each such arbitration. Mortgagee may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Mortgagee shall determine appropriate, including following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to the exclusion of Mortgagor if so determined by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion. |
(i) | Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagees consent, consent or refuse to consent to any action that the Lessor or any third party takes or desires to take pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Lease if such action has a material adverse effect on the Lease or Mortgagors rights thereunder. |
(j) | Mortgagors obligations under this Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagors obligations under the Lease. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Mortgagee to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under the Lease. |
12.2 Treatment of Lease in Bankruptcy.
(a) | If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Subject Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Mortgagor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagees consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Subject Lease is a primary element of Mortgagees security for the Obligations secured hereunder, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of the Subject Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect. |
(b) | Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the 365(h) Election with respect to the Subject Lease until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagees other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Subject Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Mortgage. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the 365(h) Election is in the nature of a remedy available to Mortgagor under the Subject Lease, and is not a property interest that Mortgagor can separate from the Subject Lease as to which it arises. Therefore, Mortgagor agrees and acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of preserving the right to possession under the Subject Lease shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagees taking or sale of the Land (or any element thereof) and shall not entitle Mortgagor to any credit against the Obligations secured hereunder or otherwise impair Mortgagees remedies. |
(c) | Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagors remaining in possession under the Subject Lease, then Mortgagors resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the lien of this Mortgage. |
14
12.3 Rejection of Lease by Lessor. If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms the Subject Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Subject Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then:
(a) | Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under the Subject Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Subject Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Subject Lease require such acts or otherwise; and |
(b) | All the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Mortgagors rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagors rights to remain in possession of the Land. |
12.4 Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee. Mortgagor, immediately upon learning that the Lessor has failed to perform the terms and provisions under the Subject Lease (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of such Subject Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law), shall notify Mortgagee of any such failure to perform. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full.
12.5 Offset by Mortgagor. If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Bankruptcy Law, Mortgagor seeks to offset against any rent under the Subject Lease the amount of any Lease Damage Claim, then Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so at least 20 days before effecting such offset. Such notice shall set forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis for such offset. If Mortgagee reasonably objects to all or any part of such offset, then Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Mortgagee reasonably objects. If Mortgagee approves such offset, then Mortgagor may effect such offset as set forth in Mortgagors notice. Neither Mortgagees failure to object, nor any objection or other communication between Mortgagee and Mortgagor that relates to such offset, shall constitute Mortgagees approval of any such offset. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee against any offset against the rent reserved in any Lease.
12.6 Mortgagors Acquisition of Interest in Leased Parcel. If Mortgagor acquires the fee or any other interest in any Land or Improvements originally subject to the Lease, then, such acquired interest shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as if Mortgagor now owned it and as if this Mortgage specifically described it, without need for the delivery and/or recording of a supplement to this Mortgage or any other instrument. In the event of any such acquisition, the fee and leasehold interests in such Land or Improvements, unless Mortgagee elects otherwise in writing, remain separate and distinct and shall not merge, notwithstanding any principle of law to the contrary.
15
12.7 New Lease Issued to Mortgagee. If the Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision of the Lease, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from Lessor a new lease of the relevant leased premises, then Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the estate created thereby.]
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Mortgage shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Mortgagee or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Mortgage shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and their respective successors and assigns. Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness and performance in full of the Obligations, or upon prepayment of a portion of the Indebtedness equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale for the Mortgaged Property in connection with a permitted Asset Sale, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, at Mortgagors expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or reconvey the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagor or, at the request of Mortgagor, assign this Mortgage without recourse. This Mortgage and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagee and Mortgagor and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
13.2 Governing Law. THIS MORTGAGE AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).
16
13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Mortgage.
13.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS MORTGAGE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES IT JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
13.5 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and their respective successors and assigns. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
13.6 No Waiver. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.
13.7 Subrogation. To the extent proceeds of the Loan have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property and held by the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee.
13.8 Credit Agreement. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall govern.
17
13.9 Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar Rights. Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage or the indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or any rights or remedies of Mortgagee.
13.10 Entire Agreement. This Mortgage and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagee and Mortgagor and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
13.11 Counterparts. This Mortgage is being executed in several counterparts, all of which are identical, except that to facilitate recordation, if the Mortgaged Property is situated offshore or in more than one county, descriptions of only those portions of the Mortgaged Property located in the county in which a particular counterpart is recorded shall be attached as Exhibit A thereto. Each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE
2.1 Guarantee of Obligations. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each other Guarantor, including each Borrower, when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in this Section 2.1, without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding amount of the Loans or other Obligations and other future increases in the Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents, the Specified Cash Management Agreements or the Specified Hedge Agreements on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantors liability shall extend to all Obligations (including, without limitation, interest, fees, costs and expenses) that would be owed by any other obligor on the Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable against such other obligor or not allowable due to the existence of a Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving such other obligor because it is the intention of the Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Obligations which are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower or any other Guarantor of any portion of such Obligations.
2.2 Limitation on Obligations Guaranteed. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under Section 2 hereof shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantors obligations under Section 2 hereof void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or
11
Page
any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guarantee set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee set forth in Section 2 hereof at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under the guarantee set forth in Section 2 hereof not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the guarantee set forth in Section 2 hereof and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by such Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, all guarantees of such Guarantor other than the guarantee under Section 2 hereof will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the guarantee under Section 2 hereof. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 2.2(a) shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Equity Interest in such Guarantor.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 2.2(a) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.
2.3 Nature of Guarantee; Continuing Guarantee; Waivers of Defenses Etc. (a) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not merely of collectability. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of dishonor, default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this guarantee and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder and the Liens granted hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, setoff, defense, counterclaim, discharge or termination for any reason (other than a defense of payment or performance).
(b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of each other Guarantor or any other guarantee of the Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any
12
Page
Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof demand shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(c) No payment made by any Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from any Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of the Obligations) remain liable for the Obligations until the Discharge of the Obligations.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor and Grantor agrees that its obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, and any Lien granted hereunder, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights, claims or defenses (other than a defense of payment or performance) that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):
(i) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Agreement, any of the Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;
(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents or any Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Agreement;
(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guarantee of or security for the payment of the Obligations;
13
Page
(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries and any corresponding restructuring of the Obligations;
(v) settlement, compromise, release, or discharge, or acceptance of or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or subordinate the Obligations to any other obligations;
(vi) any failure to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any security for the Obligations (including without limitation, the Collateral) to the extent provided herein or any release of any or all such security;
(vii) exercise remedies with respect to any security for the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Collateral) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Guarantor would otherwise have; and
(viii) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or Grantor for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, whether in a Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in any other instance.
(e) In addition each Guarantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, any Borrower, or any other Guarantor or Person against any Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

2.4 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Guarantor or its property:
(a) If such payment is made by a Guarantor (including any Borrower) or from its property in respect of the Obligations of another Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Obligations, (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Guarantor (including any Borrower, as applicable) and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court. For purposes of the foregoing, all guarantees of any Guarantor other than the guarantee under Section 2 hereof will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the guaranty under Section 2 hereof.
(b) If and whenever (after Discharge of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Guarantor (including any Borrower) against any other Guarantor (including any Borrower) whether under Sections 2.2(a) or otherwise, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon Discharge of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor as set forth in this Section 2.4) to any security interest that may then be held by the Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor (including any Borrower) shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Obligations and solely against the Guarantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Obligations, the Agent shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantor or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Agent.
(c) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.4 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Guarantor (including any Borrower) as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior Discharge of the Obligations. Until Discharge of the Obligations, no Guarantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in
15
Page
cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership or insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.
(d) The obligations of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.4. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.
2.5 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the office of the Agent located at the Funding Office specified in the Credit Agreement.
2.6 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any other Guarantor (the Obligee Guarantor) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
2.7 Financial Condition of Borrowers and other Guarantors. The Loans may be made to the Borrowers on the Closing Date or continued from time to time and any Specified Hedge Agreements and Specified Cash Management Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of
16
Page
the financial or other condition of any Borrower or any other Guarantor at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Agreement is entered into, as the case may be.

5.9 Intellectual Property. Except as provided in the Credit Agreement: (a) Such Grantor will not, (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its licensees will not), without the prior written consent of the Agent, discontinue use of any Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor, or do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may lapse, become abandoned, cancelled, dedicated to the public, forfeited, or otherwise impaired, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for a Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor.

registered Copyright (collectively, Perfected IP), in each case, included in the Collateral as of the date hereof, as well as any Perfected IP constituting After-Acquired Intellectual Property, in substantially the form of Exhibits C-1, C-2, and C-3 in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all other agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties security interest in any such Intellectual Property with any other applicable offices, agencies, or Governmental Authorities within the United States.
(e) Such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or may in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantors rights and interests in any Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor under such contracts.
(f) Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright that is registered or subject to an application for registration that is Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may become (i) abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain, (ii) invalid or unenforceable, (iii) subject to any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantors ownership, registration or use or the validity or enforceability of such Patent, Trademark or Copyright (including the institution of, or any adverse development with respect to, any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court) or (iv) the subject of any reversion or termination rights.
(g) Such Grantor will (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its licensees will), to the extent it has determined such notice is necessary and is reasonably practicable, use proper notice of its Patent, Trademark or Copyright rights in connection with the use of any of its owned Material Intellectual Property.
(h) In the event that any Person initiates, or threatens in writing to initiate, any action or proceeding alleging that such Grantor, or the conduct of such Grantors business, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, or otherwise violates the intellectual property of any other Person, and such action or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent after it learns thereof.

(i) In the event that any Material Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by another Person, such Grantor shall promptly (i) take actions that it considers reasonable under the circumstances to stop such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation and to protect its rights in such Material Intellectual Property, and (ii) notify the Agent after it learns thereof.
(j) Such Grantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as it determines necessary in its reasonable business judgment to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets constituting Material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents.
5.10 Government Receivables. If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire or become the beneficiary of Receivables in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of which the account debtor is an Applicable Governmental Authority (as defined below), such Grantor shall (i) promptly thereafter notify the Agent thereof, (ii) provide to the Agent all such documents and instruments, and take all such actions, as shall be reasonably requested by the Agent to enable the Agent to comply with the requirements of the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any other Requirement of Law to perfect its security interest in such Receivables and obtain the benefits of such Act or Law with respect thereto and (iii) otherwise comply with its obligations under Section 5.3(c) with respect thereto.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Agent shall have the right annually (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time) to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. Annually (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time), upon the Agents request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Agent to furnish to the Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
34
Page
(b) The Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantors Receivables and each Grantor hereby agrees to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Receivable and any Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own expense consistent with its reasonable business judgment; provided, however, that the Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) be deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Agents request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Agents satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may at any time notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable of the security interest of the Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the Receivable directly to the Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
35
Page
thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
6.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4.
6.4 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Agent (acting with the consent of the Controlling Parties), or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Agents election, the Agent may (and, if directed by the Controlling Parties, shall), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.5) realized through the exercise by the Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations. The Agent shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be applied in the following order:
First, to the Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;
Second, to the Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;
36
Page
Third, to the Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations not then due and owing to the Secured Parties; and
Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Any Proceeds not applied shall be held by the Agent as Collateral.
In addition, with respect to any proceeds of Insurance received by the Agent, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Credit Agreement and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be held as Collateral.
6.5 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, brokers board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent may store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, the Agent shall be entitled to use and
37
Page
apply any of the Obligations on a pro rata basis as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agents request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantors premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(b) The Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Agent in accordance with Section 6.4.
(c) In the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be included, and, to the extent required under applicable law, the applicable Grantor shall supply the Agent or its designee with (i) copies of such Grantors documents and things embodying such Grantors know-how and expertise, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual Property, and (ii) copies of such Grantors customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

(d) For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.5 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, and assignable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned and held or hereafter acquired or created by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof to the extent permitted by the terms of applicable licenses) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.
6.6 Effect of Securities Laws. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to this Section 6.6 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
39
Page
contained in this Section 6.6 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.6 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or a defense of payment.
6.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
6.8 Compliance with FCC Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no action shall be taken by the Agent or the Secured Parties with respect to the foreclosure on, sale, transfer or disposition of, or control of, the Collateral that would constitute or result in any assignment or transfer of control, whether de jure or de facto, of any FCC License, if such assignment or transfer of control would require under then existing law (including Communications Laws) the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining such approval of the FCC.
SECTION 7. POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
7.1 Agents Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable required to be included in Collateral hereunder or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
40
Page
(ii) except with respect to the Specified IP Assets, in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called for by the terms of the Loan Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.5 or 6.6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (7) subject to preexisting rights and licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark owned by such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its reasonable discretion determine; and (8) generally, but subject to preexisting rights and licenses, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Agents option and such Grantors expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do;
41
Page
(vi) prepare draft applications seeking the FCCs consent to transfer control of, or assign, FCC Licenses, and provided such applications are certified as accurate and are executed by an officer of the appropriate Grantor, file such applications with the FCC; and
(vii) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Agent or any other Secured Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or any other Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any claim or action against the Agent or any other Secured Party. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Agent shall not exercise any of the powers in this Section 7.1 without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.
42
Page
(c) The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2 Authorization of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable law, the Agent is authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Agent under this Agreement to the extent provided herein. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security documents or as all assets or all personal property of the such Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by such Grantor or such other description as the Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
7.3 Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Agent may reasonably request in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) except with respect to the Specified Assets, file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
43

(ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and the various Secretaries of State. For the avoidance of doubt, no Grantor shall be required to take any action in order to perfect a security interest in any Specified IP Asset;
(iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon request by the Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Agent or persons designated by the Agent;
(iv) at the Agents reasonable request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantors title to or the Agents interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v) furnish the Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
SECTION 8. THE COLLATERAL AGENT
8.1 Authority of Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and the Grantors, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(b) The Agent has been appointed to act as Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that the
44

Agent shall, after the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein and otherwise act in accordance with the instructions of the holders of a majority (the Majority Holders) of the sum of (x) the aggregate settlement or termination amount (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under all Specified Hedge Agreements and (y) all amounts payable under Specified Cash Management Agreements (exclusive of expenses and similar payments). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the settlement or termination value for any hedge that has not been terminated or closed out at the time of the relevant determination shall be a termination, close-out unwind or equivalent value as calculated by the appropriate swap counterparties and reported to the Agent upon request or, if any such counterparty does not provide such calculation, such value as shall be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion; provided that any Specified Hedge Agreement with a termination or close-out amount that is a negative number shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Majority Holders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.1. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Agent, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Secured Party authorizes the Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Obligations held by it.
8.2 Duty of Agent. The Agents sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners,
45
Page
employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
8.3 Exculpation of the Agent. (a) The Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b) Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the Secured Parties. The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Controlling Parties and, upon such instruction, the Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it, and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Credit Agreement or in the limited circumstances specified in Section 8.1(b) hereof, the Majority Holders.

(c) Without limiting the indemnification provisions of the Credit Agreement, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Credit Agreement severally agrees to indemnify the Agent, to the extent that the Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Security Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Security Documents; provided, that no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from such Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Secured Party If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
(d) No direction given to the Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement or any Security Document accepted or entered into by the Agent shall be binding upon the Agent.
(e) Prior to the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations, the Agent may resign in accordance with Section 10.9 of the Credit Agreement. After the Agents resignation in accordance with Section 10.9 of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of Section 10 of the Credit Agreement, if any, shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent by a successor Agent in accordance with Section 10.9 of the Credit Agreement, the retiring Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Agent. From and after the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations, the Majority Holders shall be entitled to appoint the successor Agent upon the resignation of the Agent.

8.4 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 8 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Agent, to any sub-agent of the Agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Security Documents as well as activities as the Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the Agent or Affiliate of the Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity.
8.5 Foreclosure, etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.
8.6 Cash Management Banks and Qualified Counterparties. No Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of the Security Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or of the Security Documents shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action under any Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8 to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify
48
Page
the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge Agreements unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement. After the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by a written instrument executed by each Grantor and the Majority Holders.
9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Agent.
49
Page
(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Each Grantor (including each Borrower) agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties (including all Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement who, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, agree to be bound by this Agreement) harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to indemnify the Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.4(c) shall apply to the Secured Parties to the same extent that they apply to the Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement).
(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Specified Hedge Agreements and Specified Cash Management Agreements.
9.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.
9.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party (other than any Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank) at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply 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
50
Page
such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured; provided that such Secured Party (i) if it is a Lender, complies with Section 11.7 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) if it is not a Lender, turns over to the Agent the value of the set-off and appropriation permitted by this Section 9.6 for application in accordance with Section 6.4. Each such Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party (other than any Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank) under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf or tif format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
9.8 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
51
Page
9.10 Integration/Conflict. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors, the Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. In the case of any Equity Interests of an Issuer organized under a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or other locality thereof, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable Foreign Security Document which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied with, the provisions contained in such Foreign Security Document shall govern to the extent of such conflict with respect to such Collateral.
9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).
9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court;
(c) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and that nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Grantor or any of its assets in the courts of any jurisdiction;
52
Page
(d) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(e) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(f) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and
(g) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
9.13 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; and
(b) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.
9.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of any Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor and Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
9.15 Releases. (a) At such time as there has been a Discharge of the Obligations, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without
53
Page
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be Disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then (i) the Liens created hereby on such Collateral shall automatically be released and (ii) the Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the sole expense of Holdings, a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than BA and CA) shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be Disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that Holdings shall deliver to the Agent, within five Business Days (or such longer notice period as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) after the date of such release, a certificate by Holdings identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the Proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in accordance therewith.
(c) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement (other than financing statements to maintain or continue a perfected security interest to the extent necessary to comply with Section 5.3) or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to such Grantors rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
9.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
54
Page
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES IT JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
9.17 No Fiduciary Duty. Section 11.13 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Agreement rather than to the Credit Agreement).
9.18 Secured Parties. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the Collateral, each of the Secured Parties agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Documents and Section 10 of the Credit Agreement (which Section 10 shall be incorporated by reference herein). This Section 9.18 shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.
