PURCHASE AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 16, 2012, among NextWave Wireless LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), NextWave Wireless Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and each other Guarantor from time to time party hereto (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), the Purchasers set forth in Schedule 1.2B (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association (“Wilmington Trust”), as Collateral Agent.

RECITALS

A. Company, the Guarantors party thereto, the purchasers party thereto (the “Original Purchasers”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Collateral Agent, entered into that certain Purchase Agreement dated as of July 17, 2006 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the original purchasers purchased $350,000,000 aggregate Stated Value of Senior Secured Notes (the “Original Notes”) from the Company. As of the date hereof, the aggregate Principal Amount (as defined in the Original Purchase Agreement) of outstanding Original Notes is $150,789,911.89.

B. Parent is party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 1, 2012 among AT&T Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), Rodeo Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Parent (such Agreement and Plan of Merger, together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with Section 5.30, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which it is contemplated that Merger Sub will merge with and into Parent, with Parent being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Acquiror (the “Merger”).

C. Issuer desires to continue to secure all of the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents by granting, ratifying and affirming to Collateral Agent, on behalf of Holders, a First Priority Lien on all of its assets, subject to specified exceptions set forth in the Collateral Documents.

D. Parent has agreed, pursuant to the Parent Guaranty, to continue to guarantee all of the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents and to secure its guarantee by continuing a First Priority Lien in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of Holders, on all of its assets, subject to specified exceptions set forth in the Collateral Documents.

E. The Company and the other Domestic Subsidiaries of Parent (other than Spinco) and of the Company have agreed, pursuant to the Guaranty, to continue to guarantee the First Lien Obligations and to continue to secure their guarantees by continuing a First Priority Lien in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of Holders, on all of their assets, subject to specified exceptions set forth in the Collateral Documents.

F. In connection with the transactions described above, Company, the other Guarantors, the Purchasers and Collateral Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Original


		1		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Purchase Agreement and certain Collateral Documents (as defined in the Original Purchase Agreement) and to enter into this Agreement and the Collateral Documents.

G. The amendment and restatement of the First Lien Obligations of Issuer hereunder and under the other agreements entered into in connection herewith shall not constitute a novation of any obligation or indebtedness of Issuer or Guarantors to the Holders, and all of the Liens granted by Issuer and Guarantors to secure such First Lien Obligations will continue to constitute valid, enforceable Liens with the same relative priority as in effect prior to the amendment and restatement evidenced hereby, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that the Original Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE, SALE AND ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

1.1 Issuance of Notes.

(a) On the date hereof, the Company will amend and restate the Original Notes and issue to the Purchasers $150,789,911.89 aggregate Stated Value of Amended and Restated Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 2012 in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A and at the purchase price set forth on Schedule 1.2A (the “Initial Notes”).

After the date hereof, the Company may issue from time to time to one or more Holders or their Affiliates up to $15,000,000 aggregate Stated Value of additional notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B at the agreed price set forth in connection with such issuance on a supplemental Schedule 1.2A (the “Senior Incremental Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, the Holders shall be obligated to purchase all of such Senior Incremental Notes for cash in immediately available funds (on a pro rata basis, unless the Holders otherwise agree). For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Incremental Notes are, and for all purposes shall be, Notes (as defined in the Acquiror Debt Purchase Agreement referred to in clause (i) of the definition thereof) and are subject to all of the terms of the Acquiror Debt Purchase Agreement referred to in clause (i) of the definition thereof.

The “Parent Guaranty”, the “Guaranty” and the “Collateral Documents” (in each case as defined in the Original Purchase Agreement) will continue to provide for guaranties of the Notes by Parent in accordance with the Parent Guaranty, and the other Guarantors in accordance with the Guaranty, and the Notes and the Guaranty will continue to be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents with the same priority as in effect prior to the amendment and restatement thereof. Interest will accrue on the Principal Amount of the Notes at the Applicable Interest Rate, payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.1(b) (except for Payment Default Interest, which shall be payable on demand in cash) and as further described in this Agreement and the Notes; provided that in no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Senior Incremental Notes exceed a rate equal to


		2		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

ten percent (10%) per annum. The Notes are subject to mandatory redemption, in each case as further set forth in this Agreement and the Notes.

(b) On each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the Company’s election (each such election, a “PIK Election”) in lieu of a cash payment of interest, any given payment of interest on the Notes (other than payments of Payment Default Interest, which shall be payable on demand in cash) may be paid in kind by increasing the outstanding Principal Amount under such Notes by the PIK Amount which has accrued as of such Interest Payment Date. It shall be presumed, without any further action on the part of the Company, that the Company is electing to pay all future payments of interest on the Notes by making a PIK Election unless the Company has, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to each relevant Interest Payment Date, delivered to the Holders of the Notes written notice that the Company intends to make a cash payment of interest in lieu of a PIK Election for such Interest Payment Date.

1.2 The Closing; Warrants.

(a) In reliance upon the Purchasers’ several representations made in Section 1.4 hereof and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Documents, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchasers the Notes. In reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Note Documents, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein, the Purchasers hereby agree to purchase the Notes from the Company. Having considered all facts relevant to a determination of the value of the Notes being acquired by the Purchasers at the Closing, the Company and the Purchasers have concluded and do hereby agree that, within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, the issue price for each Note is as set forth in Schedule 1.2A.

(b) The delivery of the Notes to the Purchasers will take place at a closing (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the date hereof at the offices of O’Melveny & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. At the Closing, the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Documents, deliver to each Purchaser the Stated Value of Notes set forth with respect to such Purchaser on Schedule 1.2B annexed hereto (in such permitted denomination or denominations and registered in its name or the name of such nominee or nominees as such Purchaser may request).

(c) The Company acknowledges that the Warrants previously issued by the Company to the Purchasers shall continue in effect and be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement.

1.3 [RESERVED].

1.4 Purchasers’ Representations and Acknowledgement.

(a) Each Purchaser represents, severally and not jointly, that it is acquiring the Securities to be acquired by it for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.


		3		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Each Purchaser further represents, agrees and acknowledges, severally and not jointly, that it:

1. is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act;

2. did not employ any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

3. understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being issued by the Company in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the Company has not undertaken to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state or blue sky law;

4. further understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such Purchaser) promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts; and

5. other than through the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, is not an “applicant” as that term is defined at 47 C.F.R. Section 1.2105(c)(7)(i) (2006) with respect to FCC Auction No. 66 for Advanced Wireless Services FCC Licenses.

(b) If any Purchaser desires to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities (other than pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act), if requested by the Company, it will deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available. Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor, upon exercise thereof or in substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE HOLDER MAY NOT OFFER, SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF OR ENCUMBER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUEST AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR OTHER DISPOSITION OR ENCUMBRANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE


		4		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, IF SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OR ENCUMBRANCE IS NOT PURSUANT TO RULE 144, RULE 144A OR AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

THE NOTE HOLDER IS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 1, 2012, BY AND AMONG AT&T, INC., WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS NOTEHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE, AND THE PURCHASERS PARTY THERETO FOR SO LONG AS SUCH AGREEMENT IS IN EFFECT.

(c) Each Holder agrees, for the benefit of the other Holders only, that, in connection with the purchase of the Securities, it has relied on the representations of the Company herein, information provided by the Company, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No individual Holder (or Affiliate or representative of any Holder) is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary to any other Holder, or shall have any duty or responsibility to any other Holder, either initially or on a continuing basis. Without limiting the foregoing, no individual Holder (or Affiliate or representative of any Holder) shall have any duty or responsibility to any other Holder to make any investigation on behalf of any Holder or to provide any Holder with any credit or other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether coming into its possession before the purchase of the Securities, or at any time thereafter, and no Holder (or Affiliate or representative of any Holder) shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to Holders.

1.5 Expenses.

(a) Whether or not any of the Notes are sold, the Company will pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation:

1. all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than Taxes) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Note Documents, including without limitation due diligence and analysis (including as to FCC Licenses, Spectrum Leases and Spectrum Holdings), examinations and appraisals;

3. all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Holders in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver, consent (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes


		5		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

effective), or preservation or enforcement of rights under the Note Documents or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby; and

4. such other fees (including without limitation, commitment fees) as agreed to by the Company and the Purchasers.

(b) Whether or not any of the Notes are sold, the Company and Parent will pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice or written demand therefor, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Noteholder Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation:

1. the costs and expenses outlined in that certain fee schedule dated August 16, 2012;

2. to the extent not specifically included in clause (1) above, the reasonable fees and expenses of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, who are acting as counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholder Representative in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Note Documents and the Noteholder Representative Agreement;

3. all reasonable fees and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the Holders) and the Noteholder Representative in connection with its participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Note Documents and the Noteholder Representative Agreement, including without limitation with any amendment, modification, waiver, consent (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), or preservation or enforcement of rights under the Note Documents and the Noteholder Representative Agreement or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby;

4. all reimbursement obligations due to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.05, 5.04(a) and 5.04(b) of the Collateral Agency Agreement; and

On or prior to the day that is ten (10) days in advance of the expected Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Holders and the Collateral Agent shall provide Parent and Acquiror with invoices and/or written demand for (i) any amounts then due and payable in accordance with this Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 and (ii) an estimate of any additional amounts payable in accordance with this Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 reasonably anticipated by each Holder and the Collateral Agent to be incurred through the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for a reasonable period of time thereafter in accordance with any post-Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) matters (such amounts, collectively, the “Parent Expenses”). The Parent Expenses will be due and payable at Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement).


		6		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

1.6 Indemnification.

(a) In addition to all rights and remedies available to the Purchasers at law or in equity, the Company and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchasers, the Collateral Agent, each subsequent Holder and their respective affiliates, stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such party as and when incurred for any loss (but not including any diminution in value of the Notes), liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of any claims by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Guarantors or any third party, including interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of any counsel(s) to the Indemnified Parties and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Losses”) which any such party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of:

1. any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty on the part of any Note Party under any Note Document;

2. without duplication of Section 1.6(a)(1) above, any misrepresentation in or omission from any of the representations, warranties, statements, schedules and exhibits hereto, certificates or other instruments or documents furnished to the Holders by or on behalf of any Note Party made in or pursuant to any Note Document;

3. any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of any Note Party under any Note Document;

4. any Environmental Claim;

5. (except with respect to Taxes) any claim (whenever made) relating in any way to any Note Party and any claim (whenever made) arising out of, relating to, resulting from or caused by any transaction, status, event, condition, occurrence or situation relating to, arising out of or in connection with (A) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Note Documents and the documents and agreements contemplated hereby or thereby or (B) any actions taken by or omitted to be taken by any of the Indemnified Parties in connection with any Note Document; or

6. any claim, demand or liability for any broker’s or finder’s fees or commission alleged to have been incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person acting on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Note Documents, the Related Agreements or any of the Transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated by the Related Agreements and any expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) arising in connection with any such claim, demand or liability incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person acting on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries;


		7		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to such rights and remedies to the extent that such Losses occur solely as a result of the willful misconduct or the gross negligence on the part of any Indemnified Party, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Subject to Section 10.11, all indemnification rights hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limit, regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of, or any knowledge of the Purchasers, their advisors and/or any of the Indemnified Parties or the acceptance by the Company or any Guarantor of any certificate or opinion, and shall inure to the benefit of any purchaser of the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding such Person’s assignment or transfer of its Note.

(c) If for any reason the indemnity provided for in this Section 1.6 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold each such Indemnified Party harmless from all such Losses arising with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally shall contribute to the amount paid or payable for such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations. In addition, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand for all reasonable expenses (including legal counsel fees) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim. The indemnity, contribution and expenses reimbursement obligations that the Company and the Guarantors have under this Section 1.6 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have at law or in equity. The Company and the Guarantors further agree that the indemnification and reimbursement commitments set forth in this Agreement shall apply whether or not the Indemnified Party is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings.

(d) Any indemnification or payments in respect of contribution of any Indemnified Party by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Company or any Guarantor to an account designated by such Indemnified Party within ten Business Days after the incurrence of a Loss.

1.7 Registration of Notes; etc.

(a) The Issuer will maintain (and make available for inspection by the Holders upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in Section 10.1(c) a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Holders (and any changes thereto), the respective amounts of the Notes of each Holder from time to time and the amount that is due and payable, and paid, to each Holder (the “Register”). Promptly following the Closing and each subsequent change to the Register, Issuer shall provide a copy of the Register to the Collateral Agent.

Each Holder shall record on its internal records the amount of its Notes and each payment in respect hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Holder’s records.

1. the Issuer shall notify such Holder of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as it becomes aware of it;

2. the Issuer shall timely pay any such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority when such Tax is due, in accordance with Applicable Law;

3. unless such Tax is an Excluded Tax, the sum payable shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making the required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this clause), each Holder receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been required or made; and

4. within 30 days after the Company receives a receipt of payment of any Tax which the Issuer is required by clause (2) above to pay, Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other satisfactory evidence of the payment and its remittance to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) In addition, without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Issuer agrees to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and within thirty (30) days after the Issuer receives a receipt for payment of any such Taxes, the Issuer shall furnish to the applicable Holder the a copy of such receipt.

(c) The Issuer will indemnify each Holder, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (including for the full amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.8(c)) paid by such Holder, as the case may be, and any penalties (other than penalties imposed by reason of such Holder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant

Governmental Authority. A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If a Holder receives a refund of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Issuer or with respect to which the Issuer paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.8, it shall pay to the Issuer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 1.8 with respect to the Covered Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Holder and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided, however, that the Issuer, upon the request of such Holder, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Issuer to such Holder in the event that such Holder is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(e) Unless not legally entitled to do so:

1. each Holder shall deliver such forms or other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Issuer as will enable the Issuer to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

2. any Holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under the Notes or any other Note Document shall deliver to the Issuer, on or prior to the date on which such Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of the Issuer, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), such properly completed and duly executed forms or other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding;

3. without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Holder shall deliver to the Issuer (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer) on or prior to the date on which such Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of the Issuer, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), whichever of the following is applicable:

(B)

in each case together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Issuer to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, if any.

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Holder shall promptly (1) deliver to the Issuer two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments to such Holder under the Note Documents, or (2) notify the Issuer of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(g) Any Holder claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall use its reasonable best efforts to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Holder.

(h) If a payment made to a Holder under the Notes or the other Note Documents would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Holder 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), such Holder shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.5 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

10.3 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) Except as heretofore expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given; provided that the same are in writing and signed by the Company, the Guarantors and the Required Holders; provided further, that any amendment, modification or supplement that:

1. reduces the aggregate principal amount of any Note;

2. (other than as set forth in this Agreement) reduces the rate of interest on any Note (including default interest), reduces the amount of principal or changes the principal maturity date of any Note or the redemption or prepayment provisions (other than any notice provisions relating thereto, which shall require only the written consent of the Required Holders);

3. makes any Note payable in money or property other than that stated in the Note; or

4. makes any change in Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.5 or 10.10 hereof or this Section 10.3 (or any related defined terms) or in the definition of “Required Holders”;

shall not be binding upon any Holder of any outstanding Note that has not consented thereto in writing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver affecting the rights, duties or obligations of the Collateral Agent shall require the written consent of the Collateral Agent. In executing any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, the Collateral Agent shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Parent or the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, each stating that the execution of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and that any conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Note Documents relating to the execution of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver have been complied with. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that affects its rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents.

10.4 Release of Security Interest or Guaranty; Release of Guarantor.

(a) Upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral to any Person (other than Parent, Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries) that is permitted by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement or to which Required Holders have otherwise consented, or the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to any Person (other than Parent, Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Required Holders have otherwise consented, for which Issuer or any of the Guarantors desire to obtain a security interest release or a release of the Guaranty from the


		80		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Holders, Issuer or such Guarantor shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Holders and the Collateral Agent (i) stating that the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction and certifying whether such sale constitutes an Asset Sale. Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver, at Issuer’s expense and without representation, warranty or recourse, such releases of its security interest in such Collateral or such Guaranty as may be reasonably requested and prepared by Issuer or such Guarantor; provided that, if the sale or other disposition of such item of Collateral or Capital Stock constitutes an Asset Sale, the Collateral Agent shall have first received written confirmation from the Required Holders that arrangements satisfactory to the Required Holders have been made for delivery of the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale as required by Section 5.14; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.4(a) shall not apply to (A) any release pursuant to Section 10.4(c) or (B) the disposition of the Capital Stock of Spinco in accordance with the exercise of the Holder Call Right. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if the Issuer sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the Collateral, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Parent or the Issuer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, each stating that such sale or disposition is authorized and permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and that all conditions precedent provided in this Agreement and the other Note Documents for such transaction have been complied with.

(b) If (i) a Guarantor (a “Released Guarantor”) shall have been unconditionally and absolutely released as a guarantor of and obligor with respect to any and all Indebtedness and such release is not part of a plan of financing that contemplates such Guarantor guarantying any other Indebtedness of the Company or becoming a co-obligor with respect thereto, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may deliver to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate to such effect and from and after the date such Officer’s Certificate is delivered to the Collateral Agent, such Released Guarantor shall, subject to this Section 10.4(b) if such Released Guarantor shall again become a Guarantor, be released from its obligations under the Guaranty.

10.5 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Note Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Laws (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Holder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Notes, or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Notes hereunder.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial.

ISSUER, PARENT, EACH GUARANTOR AND HOLDERS HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.

Issuer, Parent, Guarantors and Holders further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.10 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

10.11 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.

All agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in any Note Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Securities hereunder.

10.12 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of any Holder or Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any Notes 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 right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.


		83		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

10.13 Independence of Covenants.

Except as otherwise expressly stated in a covenant herein, 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 be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.14 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

No Holder or Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Issuer or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations. To the extent that Issuer makes a payment or payments to any Holder (or to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Holders), or any Holder or Collateral Agent enforces any security interests or exercises their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.15 Set-Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and each Holder is hereby authorized by Issuer at any time or from time to time, without notice to Issuer or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent or that Holder to or for the credit or the account of Issuer against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Issuer to the Collateral Agent or that Holder under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) the Collateral Agent or that Holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Notes or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article VI.

10.17 Exculpation.

The Company acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its affiliated entities, nor the partners of any Holder nor any investment manager or adviser to any Holder, any investor or participant in the partners of any Holders, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members or shareholders, assume any personal liability for any of the obligations under the Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the same rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities in this Agreement as are contained in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Note Documents, all of which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, in addition to any such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities contained herein.

Upon the purchase of the Notes (pursuant to the Acquiror Debt Purchase Agreement described in clause (i) of the definition thereof) on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger, the Collateral Agent shall be released from any liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and shall have no obligation to act in any manner whatsoever under this Agreement and the related Note Documents unless it shall have first received indemnity or security satisfactory to it in connection with the performance of such actions. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or incur any liability with respect to such inaction.

10.18 Entire Agreement.

The Note Documents and the Notes are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. The Note Documents supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Nothing in any of the Note Documents or the Notes shall confer upon any other Person other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

10.19 Severability.

In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that all of the Holders’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.20 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Holder and the Collateral Agent shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such


		85		PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Holder’s and Collateral Agent’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that in any event a Holder or the Collateral Agent may make disclosures (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, auditors 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 by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or the other Note Documents, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.20, to any assignees of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of Company, (h) to the extent such information (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.20 or (ii) becomes available to Collateral Agent or any Holder on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Company or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Holder’s, the Collateral Agent’s or their respective Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Holder or its Affiliates; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Holder and the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Company of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any audit, regulatory examination or examination of the financial condition of such Holder or the Collateral Agent by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information; and provided, further that in no event shall any Holder or the Collateral Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Collateral Agent and the Holders may disclose the existence of the Note Documents and information about the Note Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Collateral Agent and Holders.

(b) From and after the occurrence of an effective registration statement of the Company under the Securities Act, no Holder shall be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the filings made by the Company with the SEC in compliance with Regulation FD unless such Holder (i) has been provided with an opportunity to decline receipt of such information and (ii) has affirmatively agreed to receive such information. For the purposes of this paragraph, material, nonpublic information shall not include any information which such Holder obtains or is privy to because such Holder has representation (direct or indirect) on the Company’s Board of Directors.

10.21 Ratable Sharing.

The Holders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of the Notes made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Note Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a

The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Holder as to such assignment as fully as if that Holder had complied with the provisions of Section 10.2 with respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Holder and each selling Holder agree to comply with the provisions of Section 10.2 at the request of a selling Holder or a purchasing Holder.

10.22 Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights.

The obligations of each Holder under any Note Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under any Note Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Note Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents. Each Holder confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Note Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
