Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.

SECTION 2.05. Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.

Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders.

Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b).

SECTION 2.10. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of each Commitment of such Lender during the period from, and including, the date hereof to, but excluding, the date such Commitment terminates. Such commitment fee shall accrue at the rate per annum equal to (i) 0.25%, during the period from, and including, the date hereof to but excluding, the Closing Date and (ii) during the period from and including the Closing Date and at all times thereafter, the Applicable Rate for commitment fees. Accrued commitment fees on each Commitment shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date such Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.11. Interest.

(a) Base Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on Citibank’s publicly announced base rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12. Alternative Interest Rate. If, prior to the commencement of an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing:


	(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or


	(b) if such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans, the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

Credit Agreement

- 34 -

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.13. Illegality.

(a) Illegality of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, as a result of any Change in Law, it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office, or assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or Affiliates, either would not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section shall be applicable).

(b) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue, or to convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to this Section, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans or on such earlier date (but not earlier than the effective date of such Change in Law) as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section that the circumstances that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:


	(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and


	(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

(c) End of Illegality. If any Lender whose obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to this Section gives notice to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent that the circumstances that gave rise to such suspension no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans of the same Class made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans of such Class shall be automatically converted, on

Credit Agreement

- 35 -

the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Class are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


	(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or


	(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to directly increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or

Credit Agreement

- 36 -

reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefore, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss (excluding loss of profit and, subject to the following sentence, loss attributable to such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Credit Agreement

- 37 -

(c) Excluded Taxes. For purposes of clarification, paragraph (a) shall not apply to any deductions arising from Excluded Taxes, and the Borrower shall not be required to increase any payment for or with respect to any required deduction or withholding arising from the imposition of Excluded Taxes.

(d) Borrower’s Right to Contest Indemnified Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision, to the extent that Borrower is required to increase a payment as a result of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall have the right to contest, at Borrower’s expense, the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes, and to the extent any recovery of Indemnified Taxes is made, such recovery shall belong exclusively to Borrower. Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with any such contest in good faith. In the event Borrower exercises this right to contest, Borrower shall give reasonable notice of such contest and the result thereof to Lender.

(e) Borrower’s Right to Refunds of Indemnified Taxes; Tax Credits. If the Borrower pays any such additional amounts under paragraph (a) and the payee acting in good faith determines that a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes is attributable to payment of such additional amounts and such payee has obtained, utilized and retained such refund, then such payee shall pay to the Borrower, within thirty (30) days after such determination an amount that such payee determines in good faith will leave payee in the same after-tax position as it would have been if the payment had not been adjusted under paragraph (a).

If and to the extent that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that it has received or been granted a credit against any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under paragraph (a), and such credit has been obtained and utilized by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower an amount which such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion will leave it, after the payments, in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the payments required under paragraph (a) not been required to be made by the Borrowers; provided, however that (i) such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be the sole judge of the amount of such credit, refund, relief or remission and the date on which it is received, (ii) such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations, (iii) nothing herein shall interfere with such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to manage its tax affairs in whatever manner it sees fit; and (iv) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall subsequently determine that it has lost all or a portion of such tax credit, the Borrower shall promptly remit to such Lender or the Administrative Agent the amount certified by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be the amount necessary to restore such Lender or the Administrative Agent to the position it would have been in if no payment had been made pursuant to this clause (e).

(f) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant

Credit Agreement

- 38 -

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.

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

(h) Lender Cooperation. If any Lender is or may be entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding tax under the law of any jurisdiction or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party as of the date of this agreement or the date on which such person becomes a Lender, that Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) prior to the first date on which interest is required to be paid to such Lender and at such times thereafter as may be requested by Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation, including required attachments, prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In the event that a Lender ceases to be entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding tax or the amount of such reduction in withholding tax changes, the Lender shall notify Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of that fact prior to the next date after such change on which interest is required to be paid to such lender.

SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (i) to designate a different lending office to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans hereunder or (ii) to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (1) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (2) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any Type into the other Type shall be suspended hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights, title and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations

Credit Agreement

- 39 -

(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENTS GENERALLY; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS

SECTION 3.01. Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ABA #▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account No.: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account Name: For Credit to Medium Term Finance, Reference: Intelsat, Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other account as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower), except payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

SECTION 3.02. Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties.

SECTION 3.03. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.10 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts

Credit Agreement

- 40 -

of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

SECTION 3.04. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 3.05. Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 3.06. Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.05 or 3.05, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V

Credit Agreement

- 63 -

or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone or facsimile and reasonably believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent in good faith. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall be reasonably approved by the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided above.

Each Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and

Credit Agreement

- 64 -

information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, in addition to the foregoing, no such agreement shall


	(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,


	(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,

Credit Agreement

- 66 -


	(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,


	(iv) change Section 3.04 without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or


	(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class for purposes of the Commitments of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement, that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any other document referred to herein.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses (other than lost profits, claims, damages, liabilities and related out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated

Credit Agreement

- 67 -

hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments Generally. 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 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 without such consent shall be null and void). 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 extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. 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); provided that


	(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),

Credit Agreement

- 68 -

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), the amount of the Commitment(s) 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 $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Commitments) or $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Loan Commitments) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,


	(iii) each partial assignment of rights or obligations with respect to a particular Class shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Class,


	(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and


	(v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose vehicle (an “SPV”) of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) such grant of such option shall not relieve the Granting Lender of its obligations hereunder and (iv) the Borrower may bring any proceeding against either the Granting Lender or the SPV in order to enforce any rights of the Borrower under this Agreement. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the relevant Commitment of the

Credit Agreement

- 69 -

Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Lender makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof arising out of any claim against such SPV under this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPV may with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support (if any) with respect to commercial paper issued by such SPV to fund such Loans and such SPV may disclose, on a confidential basis, confidential information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This paragraph may not be amended without the consent of any SPV at the time holding Loans under this Agreement.

(c) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City 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 owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). 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.

(d) Effectiveness of Assignments. 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), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall 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.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (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 (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely

Credit Agreement

- 70 -

responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) 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; 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 first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 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. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(h) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

SECTION 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 3.03 and 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the

Credit Agreement

- 71 -

repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (and each Affiliate of each Lender) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender (and each Affiliate of each Lender) under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender (or Affiliate) may have.

SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County (including its Appellate Division), or in any other appellate court in the State of New York, as the party commencing such suit, action or proceeding may elect in its sole discretion; and the Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit,

Credit Agreement

- 72 -

action, proceeding or judgment. The Borrower further submits, for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment brought or rendered against it, to the appropriate courts of the jurisdiction of its domicile.

(c) Process Agent. The Borrower hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of New York may be made upon CT Corporation, presently located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Process Agent”), and the Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to the Borrower shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth herein.

(d) Other Service. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrower in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law.

(e) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.11. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Borrower may be or become entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement, to claim for itself or its properties or revenues any immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process or remedy

Credit Agreement

- 73 -

relating to its obligations under this Agreement, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.12. Currency of Payment. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York City is of the essence, and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement to make payment to (or for account of) a Lender in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by such Lender in New York City of the full amount of Dollars payable to such Lender under this Agreement. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (in this Section called the “judgment currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Dollars at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in New York City with the judgment currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the judgment currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer Dollars to New York City with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars so purchased and transferred.

SECTION 10.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.14. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Credit Agreement

- 74 -

(b) Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and agree to restrict dissemination and to use reasonable precautions to keep such information confidential in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, except that Information may be disclosed (other than to a Disqualified Person) (i) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who need to know such information for the purpose of administering or evaluating the Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each party hereto (and each party’s employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure.

FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER

[Date]

Citicorp North America, Inc.,
      as Administrative Agent,
           ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
                ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Those listed on Schedule A hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to Intelsat, Ltd. (the “Borrower”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Bermuda, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2003, among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). We are delivering this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following documents:

	(i)		the opinion, dated the date hereof, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Bermuda counsel to the Borrower;

	(ii)		executed counterparts of the Credit Agreement;

	(iii)		telecopied copies of the promissory notes issued on the date hereof (if any) (the “Promissory Notes”); and

Citicorp North America, Inc.

(iv)

executed counterparts of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of August 18, 2003, Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of September 12, 2003, and Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated as of October 21, 2003, among the Borrower, Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd. and the Sellers (as so amended, but excluding any annexes, schedules or other attachments thereto, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

In addition, we have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that:

(1) The Credit Agreement constitutes, and each Promissory Note when duly executed and delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement for value will constitute, the valid and legally binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(2) The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Asset Purchase Agreement, do not, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under Asset Purchase Agreement will not, violate any existing Federal law of the United States or law of the State of New York; provided, however, that, for the purposes of this paragraph (2), we express no opinion with respect to Federal or state securities laws, other antifraud laws, fraudulent transfer laws, Federal or state laws relating to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and related laws, laws and regulations relating to export control or Federal or state laws relating to communications and telecommunications, including laws which regulate individuals, companies or businesses because such entities provide communications or telecommunications services, including the provision of satellite capacity; and provided, further, that insofar as performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement is concerned, we express no opinion as to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, as any such laws would apply in respect of a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower.


	(3) All regulatory consents, approvals and filings required to be obtained or made by the Borrower under the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York for the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Asset Purchase

Exhibit E-1 to Credit Agreement


Citicorp North America, Inc.
Those Listed on Schedule A hereto		-3-

Agreement, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, have been obtained or made, except for such consents, approvals and filings that are not required to have been obtained or made under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph (3), we express no opinion with respect to Federal or state securities laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and related laws, laws and regulations relating to export control or Federal or state laws relating to communications and telecommunications, including laws which regulate individuals, companies or businesses because such entities provide communications or telecommunications services, including the provision of satellite capacity.

We express no opinion herein regarding (a) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or any Promissory may be sought; (b) the submission by the Borrower to the jurisdiction of courts other than the courts of the State of New York and any United States Federal court sitting in New York in accordance with Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement; (c) the first sentence of Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States Federal court to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement or any Promissory Note; (d) Section 10.09(e) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to an action brought in a United States Federal court sitting in New York and note that the matters referred to therein may be raised by such court; (e) the enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing which may be limited under certain circumstances; (f) the enforceability of Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement; (g) Section 10.12 of the Credit Agreement; (h) the waiver by the Borrower of any right of immunity acquired after the date of the Credit Agreement; or (i) Section 8.2 (c) of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph (1) above, we note that the enforceability of Section 10.03(b) of the Credit Agreement may be limited by (a) laws rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws and (b) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.

With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3) above, we also note that pursuant to the Sale Order (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has expressly retained jurisdiction to interpret and enforce terms of the Sale Order and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and to

Exhibit E-1 to Credit Agreement


Citicorp North America, Inc.
Those Listed on Schedule A hereto		-4-

adjudicate any and all disputes with respect thereto, provided that such Court’s jurisdiction of any proceeding to which no Debtor (as defined in the Sale Order) is a party is non-exclusive and concurrent with the jurisdiction of any other court that has jurisdiction in the absence of the Sale Order.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We understand that you are relying, as to all matters governed by Bermuda law, upon the opinion, dated the date hereof, of Bermuda counsel to the Borrower, referred to above.

With your approval, we have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from officers of the Borrower and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that (a) the Credit Agreement and each Promissory Note have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto (including the Borrower), (b) each of the parties to the Credit Agreement and each Promissory Note (including the Borrower) has the power and authority (corporate and other) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement or such Promissory Note, as the case may be, and (c) the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently verified.

We are furnishing this letter to you in your respective capacities as Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement solely for your benefit. This letter is not to be relied upon by any other Person (other than any of your assignees) or for any other purpose.

FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL FCC COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER

December [xx], ▇▇▇▇

as Administrative Agent
▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Those listed on Schedule A hereto

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as special Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) counsel to Intelsat LLC, a subsidiary of Intelsat, Ltd. (the “Borrower”). We are furnishing this opinion to you in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2003, among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). We are delivering this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meanings when used herein.

In rendering our opinion, we have examined copies of the Credit Agreement, the Form of Note attached thereto, and such matters of law as we have deemed appropriate. We have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the full authorization, execution, and delivery of all documents by parties responsible therefor. We have assumed that none of the Notes will differ from the Form of Note in any manner that is material to this opinion.

Additionally, we have relied upon records routinely available for public inspection at the FCC as of [date]. We have assumed the completeness of the public files maintained by the FCC and the accuracy and authenticity of all documents contained therein. We have not conducted any other inquiry.

All references herein to “our knowledge” mean the actual present knowledge of the attorneys of this firm working on this transaction without any investigation or inquiry except as expressly described herein. No inference as to our knowledge of any factual matters may be drawn from the fact of our representation of any party.

We are admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia. Our opinion herein is limited to Federal, and to the extent applicable, state communications law, including implementing Executive Orders and regulations in effect on the date of this opinion (including, without limitation the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), 47 U.S.C. §§ 151 et

Exhibit E-2 to Credit Agreement

seq., the Communications Satellite Act of 1962, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996), the Open-market Reorganization for the Betterment of International Telecommunications Act (“ORBIT Act”), Pub. L. No. 106-180, 114 Stat. 48 (2000) and published rules, regulations, and written policies promulgated thereunder by the FCC as of the date hereof) (“Telecom Laws”). We express no opinion concerning any other laws.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(1) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Asset Purchase Agreement will not violate any applicable provision of the Telecom Laws and does not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority under the Telecom Laws (as defined herein) other than the FCC consent to the assignment in File Nos.

FORM OF OPINION OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE BORROWER

[Date]

Citicorp North America, Inc.,
as Administrative Agent
▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Those listed on Schedule A hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the General Counsel of Intelsat Global Service Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and am delivering this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2003, among Intelsat, Ltd. (the “Borrower”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). My responsibilities include oversight of legal matters affecting the Borrower.

Capitalized terms used in this opinion that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined and reviewed or caused to be examined and reviewed by individuals under my supervision all records, agreements and documents as I have deemed relevant or appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, I have assumed, and not verified, the authenticity of all records, agreements and documents referred to above and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as conformed or photostatic copies.

I have also assumed for purposes of the opinions expressed below that all parties to each of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement, including the Borrower, have the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Credit Agreement, as the case may be, and that each of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such Person stated to be a party thereto and is enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations set forth herein, it is my opinion that:

(1) The execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations under, each of the Credit Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement (a) will not violate, conflict with or result in a default under any indenture, trust deed, mortgage or other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing Indebtedness to which the

Exhibit E-3 to Credit Agreement

Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party, or by which it or any material part of its assets is bound, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries before the applicable stated date of maturity, (b) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument and (c) to my knowledge, will not violate any order of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower, except for, in the case of this clause (c), such violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that I express no opinion with respect to any default under or breach of any covenant under any indenture, agreement or other instrument requiring compliance with any financial ratio.

(2) The execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations under, the Asset Purchase Agreement will not violate any existing laws or regulations relating to export control.

(3) All regulatory consents, approvals and filings required to be obtained or made by the Borrower under any existing laws and regulations relating to export control for the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, have been obtained or made, except for such consents, approvals and filings that are not required to have been obtained or made under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

I note that pursuant to the Sale Order (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has expressly retained jurisdiction to interpret and enforce terms of the Sale Order and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and to adjudicate any and all disputes with respect thereto, provided that such Court’s jurisdiction of any proceeding to which no Debtor (as defined in the Sale Order) is a party is non-exclusive and concurrent with the jurisdiction of any other court that has jurisdiction in the absence of the Sale Order.

This opinion is provided by me as General Counsel of Intelsat Global Service Corporation to you pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. This opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the District of Columbia and to present judicial interpretations thereof and to the facts as they presently exist.

This opinion speaks only as of today’s date, and is limited to present statutes, regulations and judicial interpretations. In rendering this opinion, I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present laws be changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision or otherwise. This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit (and the benefit of your assignees) in your respective capacities as Lenders or as the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity or by you (or your assignees) in any other context.

Very truly yours,

Exhibit E-3 to Credit Agreement
