“Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio” shall mean, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness as of the date of calculation (the “Calculation Date”) to (ii) Adjusted EBITDA of such Person for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding such Calculation Date. In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurs or redeems any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit borrowings, in which case interest expense shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is being calculated but prior to the Calculation Date, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and other operational changes that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has both determined to make and made after January 28, 2005 and during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to reflect, among other things, (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from any acquisition, amalgamation, merger or operational change (including, without limitation, from the Transactions) and (2) all adjustments used in connection with (i) the calculation of “Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in Intelsat, Ltd.’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and (ii) the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in footnote 4 to the “Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data” section of the offering memorandum dated January 28, 2005 in connection with the offering of the Notes, in each case to the extent such adjustments continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period.

respect to holders of such Capital Stock than the asset sale and change of control provisions applicable to the Loans and any purchase requirement triggered thereby may not become operative until compliance with the asset sale and change of control provisions applicable to the Loans (including the repayment of any Loans in connection with such asset sale and change of control provisions)),

(2) is convertible or exchangeable for Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, or

(3) is redeemable at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, in each case prior to 91 days after the Maturity Date;

provided, however, that only the portion of Capital Stock which so matures or is mandatorily redeemable, is so convertible or exchangeable or is so redeemable at the option of the holder thereof prior to such date shall be deemed to be Disqualified Stock; provided, further, however, that if such Capital Stock is issued to any employee or to any plan for the benefit of employees of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or by any such plan to such employees, such Capital Stock shall not constitute Disqualified Stock solely because it may be required to be repurchased by the Borrower in order to satisfy applicable statutory or regulatory obligations or as a result of such employee’s termination, death or disability; provided, further, that any class of Capital Stock of such Person that by its terms authorizes such Person to satisfy its obligations thereunder by delivery of Capital Stock that is not Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be Disqualified Stock.

The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

2.8 Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times (other than as specified in Section 2.8(b) be equal to 8.875% per annum. All interest will be payable semiannually, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, in cash (subject to clause (c) below), in arrears.

In order to validly withdraw any election with respect to any Put Loans in any Mandatory Prepayment Offer, the Lender holding such Put Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing at its address for notices contained in this Agreement prior to the Mandatory Offer Election Time of such Lender’s election to withdraw such Put Loans from such Mandatory Prepayment Offer, which notification shall include a copy of such Lender’s previous notification electing to have its Put Loans prepaid in such Mandatory Prepayment Offer and shall state that such election is withdrawn. The Administrative Agent shall from time to time, upon request by the Borrower, advise the Borrower of the amount of Put Loans with respect to any Mandatory Prepayment Offer.

5.3 Method and Place of Payment.

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

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

5.4 Net Payments.

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

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

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

(d) A Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in a withholding tax imposed under the laws of Bermuda with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each Lender agrees

to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file or deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any certificate or document, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any withholding taxes imposed by a jurisdiction other than Bermuda; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be required to file or deliver any such certificate or document if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would be disadvantageous to such Lender or would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost.

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

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

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

5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest.

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

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

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of

interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

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

9.1 Reports and Other Information.

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

(i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (or such shorter period as may be required by the SEC), an annual report (which, if permitted under applicable rules of the SEC, may be the annual report of Holdings) containing financial statements and a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations consistent with that which would be required in an SEC report on Form 10-K or 20-F (or any successor or comparable forms) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form); and

(b) The Borrower shall make the information required by Section 9.1(a) available to prospective lenders upon request.

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

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

(e) In the event that the Borrower changes its fiscal year end from the fiscal year end used by the Borrower as of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall promptly give notice of such change to the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times (i) with respect to each Satellite procured by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for which the risk of loss passes to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at or before launch, and for which launch insurance or commitments with respect thereto are not in place as of the Closing Date, launch insurance with respect to each such Satellite covering the launch of such Satellite and a period of time thereafter, but only to the extent, if at all, and on such terms (including coverage period, exclusions, limitations on coverage, co-insurance, deductibles and coverage amount) as is determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower to be in the best interests of the Borrower as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors, (ii) with respect to each Satellite it currently owns or for which it has risk of loss (or, if the entire Satellite is not owned, the portion it owns or for which it has risk of loss), other than any Excluded Satellite, In-Orbit Insurance and (iii) at all times subsequent to the coverage period of the launch insurance described in clause (i) above, if any, or if launch insurance is not procured, at all times subsequent to the initial completion of in-orbit testing, in each case with respect to each Satellite it then owns or for which it has risk of loss (or portion, as applicable), other than any Excluded Satellite, In-Orbit Insurance; provided, however, that at any time with respect to a Satellite that is not an Excluded Satellite, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to maintain In-Orbit Insurance in excess of 33% of the aggregate net book value of all in-orbit Satellites (and portions it owns or for which it has risk of loss) insured (it being understood that any Satellite (or portion, as applicable) protected by In-Orbit Contingency Protection shall be deemed to be insured for a percentage of its net book value as set forth in the definition of “In-Orbit Contingency Protection”). In the event that the expiration and non-renewal of In-Orbit Insurance for such a Satellite

(or portion, as applicable) resulting from a claim of loss under such policy causes a failure to comply with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence for the 120 days immediately following such expiration or non-renewal, provided that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, procures such In-Orbit Insurance or provides such In-Orbit Contingency Protection as necessary to comply with the preceding proviso within such 120-day period.

(b) Insurance policies obtained or renewed after January 28, 2005 required by Section 9.2(a) shall:

(i) contain no exclusions other than:

(A) Acceptable Exclusions and such other exclusions or limitations of coverage as may be applicable to a substantial portion of satellites of the same model or relating to systemic failures or anomalies as are then customary in the satellite insurance market and

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

(ii) provide coverage for all risks of loss of and damage to the Satellite (or portion, as applicable).

(c) The insurance required by this covenant shall name the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary as the named insured.

(d) In the event of the unavailability of any In-Orbit Contingency Protection for any reason, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of clause (a) of this Section 9.3, within 120 days of such unavailability, be required to have in effect In-Orbit Insurance complying with clause (ii) or (iii) of clause (a) of this Section 9.3, as applicable, with respect to all Satellites (or portions, as applicable), other than Excluded Satellites that the unavailable In-Orbit Contingency Protection was intended to protect and for so long as such In-Orbit Contingency Protection is unavailable, provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be considered in compliance with this insurance covenant for the 120 days immediately following such unavailability.

(e) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Event of Loss Proceeds in respect of an Event of Loss, such Event of Loss Proceeds shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 10.4.

9.4 Consolidated Corporate Franchises. The Borrower will do, and the Borrower will cause each Material Subsidiary to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Section 10.4 or 10.10.

9.5 Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, etc.

The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it or its property (including all FCC Licenses and all other governmental approvals or authorizations required to launch and operate the Satellites and the TT&C Earth Stations related thereto) and to transmit signals to and receive transmissions from the Satellites, and to maintain all such FCC Licenses and other governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that any failure as it may relate to any FCC License for a Satellite that is yet to be launched shall not, in itself, be considered or deemed to result in a Material Adverse Effect).

Promptly after the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any of the following events that, individually or in the aggregate (including in the aggregate such events previously disclosed or exempt from disclosure hereunder, to the extent the liability therefor remains outstanding), would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will deliver to each of the Lenders a certificate of an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, that the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such ERISA Affiliate is required or proposes to take, together with any notices (required, proposed or otherwise) given to or filed with or by the Borrower, such Subsidiary, such ERISA Affiliate, the PBGC, a Plan participant (other than notices relating to an individual participant’s benefits) or the Plan administrator with respect thereto: that a Reportable Event has occurred; that an accumulated funding deficiency has been incurred or an application is to be made to the Secretary of the Treasury for a waiver or modification of the minimum funding standard (including any required installment payments) or an extension of any amortization period under Section 412 of the Code with respect to a Plan; that a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability has been or is to be terminated, reorganized, partitioned or declared insolvent under Title IV of ERISA (including the giving of written notice thereof); that a Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability that has or will result in a lien under ERISA or the Code; that proceedings will be or have been instituted to terminate a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability (including the giving of written notice thereof); that a proceeding has been instituted against the Borrower, a Subsidiary or an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 515 of ERISA to collect a delinquent contribution to a Plan; that the PBGC has notified the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of its intention to appoint a trustee to administer any Plan; that the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required installment or other payment pursuant to Section 412 of the Code with respect to a Plan; or that the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or will incur (or has been notified in writing that it will incur) any liability (including any contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code.

(xiii) any guarantee by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness or other Obligations by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Agreement; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee of such guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as applicable, substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;

(4) is Incurred in an aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount, an aggregate issue price) that is equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount, the aggregate accreted value) then outstanding of the Indebtedness being refinanced plus premium and fees Incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(5) shall not include (x) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor, or (y) Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(6) in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refinance Indebtedness outstanding under clause (iv) or (xx) of this Section 10.1(b), shall be deemed to have been Incurred and to be outstanding under such clause (iv) or (xx) of this Section 10.1(b), as applicable, and not this clause (xiv) for purposes of determining amounts outstanding under such clauses (iv) and (xx) of this Section 10.1(b);

and provided, further, that subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause (xiv) shall not apply to any refunding, refinancing or defeasance of (A) the Loans or (B) any Secured Indebtedness;

(xv) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Persons that are acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged or amalgamated into the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is not Incurred in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or amalgamation; provided, further, however, that after giving effect to such acquisition, merger or amalgamation:

(xix) Contribution Indebtedness;

(xx) (A) if the Borrower could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.01(a) after giving effect to such borrowing, Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors not otherwise permitted hereunder or (B) if the Borrower could not Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.01(a) after giving effect to such borrowing, Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors Incurred for working capital purposes; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred under this Section 10.1(b) (xx), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (xx), does not exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 10% of the Total Assets of the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors; and

(xxi) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of (x) the financing of insurance premiums or (y) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 10.1. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 10.1.

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

10.2 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Borrower’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any payment with respect to such Equity Interests made in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Borrower (other than (A) dividends or distributions by the Borrower payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower; or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities);

(b) The provisions of Section 10.2(a) shall not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement;

(A) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired plus any fees incurred in connection therewith),

(B) such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans or the related Guarantee, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value,

(C) such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired or (y) one year following the Maturity Date, and

(a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its Capital Stock; or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(b) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Closing Date, including pursuant to the Credit Agreements and the other Senior Credit Documents, the Existing Holdings Notes and the Lockheed Note;

(2) the Backstop Credit Facilities, this Agreement and the Loans (and, in each case, any guarantees thereof);

(3) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(5) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(6) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.8 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(7) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(8) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (including customary provisions in agreements relating to any Joint Venture);

(10) customary provisions contained in leases, licenses, contracts and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the type described in clause (c) above on the property subject to such lease;

(11) any encumbrance or restriction of a Receivables Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing that, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, are necessary or advisable in connection therewith; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary;

(12) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is Incurred subsequent to the Closing Date and permitted pursuant to Section 10.1; provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Loans (as determined by the Borrower in good faith);

(13) any Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 10.2 and any Permitted Investment; and

(14) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, no more restrictive as a whole with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on ordinary shares shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

10.4 Asset Sales.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case

may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets,

(ii) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received), and

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of Total Assets of the Borrower at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 10.4(a).

(b) Within 365 days after the Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale (or Event of Loss Proceeds), the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale together with any Event of Loss Proceeds, at its option:

(i) to permanently reduce Obligations under Secured Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than Pari Passu Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness), the Borrower shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under this Agreement if the Loans are then prepayable or, if the Loans may not then be prepaid, by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Excess Proceeds Offer) to all Lenders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of Loans that would otherwise be prepaid) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower,

(ii) to an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), or capital expenditures or assets, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business, and/or

(iii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss;

provided that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds), the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds) in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale (or Event of Loss Proceeds) that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.4(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds) used to make an offer to prepay the Loans, as described in clause (i) above, shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Borrower shall make a Prepayment Offer and, at the option of the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2, any holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness, and in accordance with this Section 10.4. Upon completion of any such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

10.5 Transactions with Affiliates.

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

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

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

(b) The provisions of Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to the following:

(i) (A) transactions between or among the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) any merger or amalgamation of the Borrower and any direct parent company of Borrower; provided that such parent company shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Borrower and such merger or amalgamation is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and effected for a bona fide business purpose;

(ii) (A) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 10.2 and (B) Investments under the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(iii) the entering into of any agreement to pay, and the payment of, management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and expenses to the Sponsors in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the greater of (x) $6.25 million and (y) 1.25% of Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal year;

(iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower;

(v) payments by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Sponsors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are (x) approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith or (y) made pursuant to any agreement described under Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” in Intelsat, Ltd.’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007;

(vi) transactions in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (i) of Section 10.5(a);

(vii) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants that are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith;

(viii) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date and any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of the Acquisition Documents and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date;

(x) transactions to effect the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions;

(xi) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, which are fair to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party and (B) transactions with Joint Ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xii) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing;

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

(xiv) the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower or of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, as appropriate, in good faith;

(xv) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement and any payments permitted by clause (xii) of Section 10.2(b);

(xvi) any contribution to the capital of the Borrower;

(xviii) transactions between the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Borrower or such Parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(xix) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and

(xx) any employment agreements entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

10.6 Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender shall have the right to require the Borrower to repurchase all or any part of such Lender’s Loans at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase in accordance with Section 5.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section and Section 5.2(a) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and purchases all Loans validly surrendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

10.7 Future Guarantors. The Borrower shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Receivables Subsidiary formed in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing and other than any License Subsidiary in connection with any guarantee of any Credit Agreement) that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower other than: (x) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Non-Guarantor Exception and (y) Permitted Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, unless such Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent a Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit A (together with such opinions or certificates reasonably requested in connection therewith) pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Loans. Each Guarantee shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, financial assistance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

10.8 Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) that secures any obligations under Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against or on any asset or property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans or such Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(2) in all other cases, the Loans or such Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor are equally and ratably secured;

provided that any Lien which is granted to secure the Loans or such Guarantee under this covenant shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Loans or such Guarantee under this covenant.

10.9 Suspension of Covenants.

(a) During any period of time that: (i) the Loans have Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.10(a)(iv) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, any Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors will also be suspended as of such date (the “Suspension Date”).

(c) In the event that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events and the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be reinstated if such guarantees are then required by the terms of this Agreement. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “Suspension Period.”

(d) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(e) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 10.1 (a) or Section 10.1(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after

giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) or (b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Closing Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 10.1(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.2 will be made as though Section 10.2 had been in effect since the Closing Date and throughout the Suspension Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.2(a). No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period.

(f) The Borrower shall deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Administrative Agent of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 10.9.

10.10 When Borrower May Merge or Transfer Assets.

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

(i) the Borrower is a surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Borrower) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof, under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower or under the laws of any country that is a member of the European Union (the Borrower or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);

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

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either

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

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

(v) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by executing a guarantee in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Guarantee”) confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 10.10(a), (A) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or amalgamate with, merge into, sell, assign or transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to the Borrower or to another Restricted Subsidiary and (B) the Borrower may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in a (or another) state of the United States, the District of Columbia, any territory of the United States or any country that is a member of the European Union so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby (any transaction described in this sentence a “Specified Merger/Transfer Transaction”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of any Guarantee, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not, and the Borrower shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person (other than any such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition in connection with the Transactions) unless:

(i) such Subsidiary Guarantor is a surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof, under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor or under the laws of any country that is a member of the European Union (such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”);

(ii) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Subject to the limitations described in this Agreement, the Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under the Guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Subsidiary Guarantor in a (or another) state of

the United States, the District of Columbia, any territory of the United States, any country that is a member of the European Union or the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is not increased thereby and (2) a Subsidiary Guarantor may merge amalgamate or consolidate with another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrower.

10.11 Successor Company Substituted.

Upon any consolidation, merger or amalgamation, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in accordance or permitted by with Section 10.10 hereof, the Successor Company (if other than the Borrower) shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Borrower herein, and the Borrower (if not the Successor Company) will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under the Agreement and the Loans.

SECTION 11. [Reserved].

SECTION 12. Events of Default.

12.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Borrower defaults in any payment of interest on any Loan when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

(b) the Borrower defaults in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Loan when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise,

(c) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to comply with any of its agreements in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (other than those referred to in (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below; provided, however, that to the extent such failure relates solely to an action or inaction by Intelsat General, and the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have otherwise complied with Section 9.14, no Event of Default shall occur,

(d) Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to a Parent of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent,

(e) Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days,

(g) Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days following the entry thereof, or

(h) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, or any similar U.S. Federal, state or any foreign law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under clause (c) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Administrative Agent or Lenders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Loans notify the Borrower of the Default and the Borrower does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (c) above after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within thirty days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

12.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Borrower) occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or Lenders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Loans by notice to the Borrower, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Loans to be due and payable.

Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Borrower occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Loans shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lenders. The Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Borrower delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Loans as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

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

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

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

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

12.6 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 13. The Administrative Agent.

13.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents,

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

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

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

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

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

13.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

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

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

13.9 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

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

13.11 [Reserved].

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous.

14.1 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Without Consent of the Lenders. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement without notice to or consent of any Lender:

(iv) to add to the covenants of the Borrower for the benefit of the Lenders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Borrower;

(vi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender; or

(vii) to release the Guarantee of any Parent of the Borrower.

After an amendment under this Section 14.1(a) becomes effective, the Borrower shall mail to Lenders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Lenders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 14.1(a).

(b) With Consent of the Lenders. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement with the written consent of the Required Lenders. However, without the consent of each Lender of an outstanding Loan affected, an amendment may not:

(i) reduce the amount of Loans whose Lenders must consent to an amendment,

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Loan,

(iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Loan,

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the repayment of any Loan or change the time at which any Loan may be repaid in accordance with Section 10.6,

(v) make any Loan payable in any currency other than Dollars,

(vi) make any change in Section 12.4 or 12.7 or the second sentence of this Section 14.1(b),

(vii) expressly subordinate the Loans or any Guarantee to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or

(viii) modify the Guarantees in any manner materially adverse to the Lenders (other than the release of a Guarantee from any Parent of the Borrower).

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Lenders under this Section 14.1(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section 14.1(b) becomes effective, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Lenders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Lenders entitled to receive such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 14.1(b).

(c) Neither the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Lenders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

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

14.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile or electronic mail), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy or electronic mail notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) in the case of the other parties hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

14.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit 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.

14.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) disputes among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or their transferees. The agreements in this Section 14.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

14.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

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

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

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6.

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

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and tax forms, the processing and recordation

fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the second sentence of Section 14.1(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 14.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender. In addition, each Lender selling a participation to one or more Participants under this Section 14.6(c) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, keep a register, specifying each such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary

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

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

(e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective

Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

14.7 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

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

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1(b) requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) at issue then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and pay any processing or recordation fee and (c) such replacement Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 14.6.

14.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 14.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 15. Holdings Guarantee.

15.1 The Holdings Guarantee. In order to induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, Holdings hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders. If any or all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Lenders, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations. This Holdings Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If claim is ever made upon any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected in good faith by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guarantee or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

15.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.5, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Lenders in such case on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.3 Nature of Liability.

(a) The liability of Holdings hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (ii) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrower, or (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (iv) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (v) any payment made to any Lender on the Obligations which any such Lender repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (vi) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any instrument relating thereto.

(b) The liability of Holdings shall not be affected nor shall this Holdings Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of:

(i) the incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrower or any other person liable;

(ii) the Administrative Agent granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, the Borrower or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrower or any other person liable;

(iii) any novation of any Credit Document (including, without limitation, any novation arising on the amalgamation of companies); or

(iv) any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of Holdings had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate or discharge Holdings.

15.4 Independent Obligations. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

100

15.5 Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Holdings Guarantee herein made shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what liability or liabilities of Holdings or the Borrower remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements;

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guarantee;

(i) release any collateral security for the Obligations; and/or

(j) change its corporate structure.

15.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.7 [Reserved].

101

15.8 Waivers.

(a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Lender to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Lender’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations.

(b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guarantee, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agents nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.9 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Holdings and the Lenders that this Holdings Guarantee shall be enforced against Holdings to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Holdings under this Holdings Guarantee shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Obligations of Holdings shall be deemed to be reduced and Holdings shall pay the maximum amount of the Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

15.10 Holdings Guarantee Release. Holdings may at any time request to be released from the Holdings Guarantee and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall promptly effectuate such release and shall, at the Borrower’s expense, take all actions reasonably required or requested by Holdings to effectuate such release.

102
