Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indenture and 8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024

On August 28, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Weatherford International Ltd., as issuer, Weatherford International plc and Weatherford International, LLC, as guarantors (collectively, the “Company”), and the other subsidiary guarantors party thereto, entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, and issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) thereunder. The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, certain material foreign subsidiaries, and in the future by other subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the LC Credit Agreement or other material indebtedness. The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company and the guarantors (on an effectively first-priority basis with respect to the priority collateral for the Senior Secured Notes, and on an effectively second-priority basis with respect to the priority collateral for the LC Credit Agreement, in each case, subject to permitted liens). The following is a brief description of the material provisions of the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes.

The Senior Secured Notes will mature on September 1, 2024. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes will accrue at the rate of 8.75% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, commencing on March 1, 2021.

Optional Redemption.

At any time prior to August 28, 2021, the Company may redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the “make-whole” premium at the redemption date, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the noteholders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). On and after August 28, 2021, the Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Secured Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed) equal to (i) 104.375% for the twelve-month period beginning on August 28, 2021; (ii) 102.188% for the twelve-month period beginning on August 28, 2022; and (iii) 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning August 28, 2023 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of the noteholders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

Change of Control.

If a change of control (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, holders of the Senior Secured Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of their Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Certain Covenants.

The Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; sell stock of its subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers or consolidations. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. 

Events of Default.

The Indenture also provides for certain customary events of default, including, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, failure to pay final judgments in excess of a specified threshold, failure of a guarantee to remain in effect, bankruptcy and insolvency events, and cross acceleration, which would permit the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes to be declared due and payable immediately. The Indenture provides that, if at the time of an acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes any premium would be due upon an optional redemption of the Senior Secured Notes at that time, the same premium will be due upon the acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes.

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment No. 1 to LC Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, Weatherford International Ltd. and Weatherford International, LLC, as borrowers, Weatherford International plc, as a guarantor, and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “LC Amendment”) to the Company’s existing senior secured letter of credit agreement (as so amended, the “LC Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as administrative agent. The following is a brief description of the material amendments to the LC Credit Agreement included in the LC Amendment.

Upon effectiveness of the LC Amendment, the aggregate commitments of the LC Credit Agreement increased from $195.0 million to $215.0 million, and the maturity date changed from June 13, 2024 to May 29, 2024. In addition, the $200.0 million minimum liquidity covenant was modified to require maintaining at least $175.0 million of aggregate liquidity, of which at least $125.0 million must be secured liquidity (i.e., cash held in controlled accounts and pledged to secure the LC Credit Agreement). The LC Amendment also included certain conforming changes to reflect (i) the termination of the ABL Credit Agreement (defined below), (ii) the cash collateralization or transfer to issuing banks under the LC Credit Agreement of letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement, (iii) the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, and (iv) the entering into of the Intercreditor Agreement between the collateral agent for the LC Credit Agreement and collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes.

The LC Credit Agreement will be used for the issuance of bid and performance letters of credit of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Upon the Effective Date, the Company had approximately $160 million in outstanding letters of credit under the LC Credit Agreement.

The LC Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, certain material foreign subsidiaries, and in the future by other subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Senior Secured Notes or other material indebtedness. The LC Credit Agreement and the related guarantees are secured by substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company and the guarantors (on an effectively first-priority basis with respect to the priority collateral for the LC Credit Agreement, and on an effectively second-priority basis with respect to the priority collateral for the Senior Secured Notes, in each case, subject to permitted liens).

The foregoing description of the LC Amendment and the LC Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Intercreditor Agreement

On the Effective Date, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent under the LC Credit Agreement, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent under the Indenture, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Intercreditor Agreement that, among other things, sets forth the relative lien priorities of the secured parties under the Senior Secured Notes and the LC Credit Agreement on the collateral shared by the Senior Secured Notes and the LC Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Intercreditor Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Intercreditor Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On the Effective Date, the senior secured asset-based lending credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) the Company previously entered into with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, was terminated. At the time of termination, there were no loan amounts outstanding under ABL Credit Agreement, and all outstanding letters of credit thereunder were either cash collateralized or transferred to issuing banks under the LC Credit Agreement.

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 28, 2020, the Company issued a press release describing certain of the matters in Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein. The information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 is “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the SEC or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings. The filing of this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto or any information included herein or therein) shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to each other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date.  If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect
42

thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Neither the Trustee nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty to investigate whether such legal counsel is counsel to the Majority Holders or whether such determination, discretion or action has been authorized by Majority Holders, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to any Note Party, any Holder or any other Person for acting in reliance on such statement.

43

provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

To the extent the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of the Issuer and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture to the extent permitted by law.

The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven and subject to Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article Thirteen.  The Notes shall have such other terms as are indicated in Annex A.
Section 302.
Denominations.
The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof.
Section 303.
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of its Officers.  If its corporate seal is reproduced thereon, it shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer.  The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
50

If the Issuer elects to reproduce its corporate seal on the Notes, then such seal may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of the Indenture and as provided in Section 301, the Issuer may deliver Notes or, subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Sections 1008 and 1010, Additional Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes or Additional Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes or Additional Notes.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Annex A, signed manually in the name of the Trustee by an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
Section 304.
Temporary Notes.
Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes in either global or certificated form, as appropriate, in each case, in registered form, to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.  Until so exchanged, the
51

temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive Notes.
Section 305.
Registrar, Global Notes and Definitive Notes.
The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  The Trustee is hereby appointed “Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.
Book-Entry Provisions.  The provisions of clauses (1) through (6) below shall apply only to Global Notes:
(1)          Each Global Note authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Note or a nominee thereof, delivered to the Trustee, as Securities Custodian, and bear appropriate legends as set forth in Section 202.  Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except as set forth in this Section 305.  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note.  Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(2)          Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the Securities Custodian, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.
(3)          In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to this Article Three to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Securities Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date
52

and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.
(4)          In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to this Article Three, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.
(5)          The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.
(6)          Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
Definitive Notes.  The provision of clauses (i) – (iv) below shall apply only to Definitive Notes.
(i)          Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes.  If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures.  In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as Depositary, and in each case a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, (B) subject to DTC’s rules, the Issuer, at its option, delivers to the Trustee and Registrar written notice stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and DTC notifies the Issuer and the Trustee of DTC’s decision to exchange such Global Note for Definitive Notes.  In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the second preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of DTC (in accordance with its customary procedures).
53

(ii)          If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred.
(iii)          If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
Section 306.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the
54

destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 307.
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
If the Issuer defaults in a payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner at the rate provided in the Notes (“Defaulted Interest”). The Issuer may pay the Defaulted Interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date and at least 15 days before the special record date, shall promptly mail to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of Defaulted Interest to be paid; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under the Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
Section 308.
Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever (except as required by applicable tax laws), whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
None of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
Section 309.
Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, purchase, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may
55

have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the Indenture.  All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard procedures.
Section 310.
Computation of Interest.
Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Section 311.
Transfer and Exchange.
(a)          General Provisions.  A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 311.  The Trustee shall promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 311 by noting the same in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange shall be effective until it is registered in such register.  The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 311 and Section 203, as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository.  The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph.
(b)          Transfers of Restricted Notes.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a Restricted Note prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):
(i)          a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; provided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note in reliance on Rule 144A to a transferee in the form of a beneficial interest in such Global Note in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC;
56

(ii)          a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to an IAI shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Annex C hereto from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuer, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it; and
(iii)          a registration of transfer of Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Annex D hereto from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuer, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it.
(c)          Restricted Notes Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (i) such Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.
(d)          Retention of Written Communications.  The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 311.  The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar.
(e)          Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.
(i)          To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article Two, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request.
(ii)          No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable upon an exchange pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1007, 1012 or 1108 not involving any transfer).
(iii)          The Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note,
(A)          for a period (1) of 15 days before giving any notice of redemption of Notes or (2) beginning 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date or (B) selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
57

(iv)          Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving any payment on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(v)          All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
(f)          No Obligation of the Trustee.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes.  All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).  The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC.  The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in so relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.  The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(g)          Affiliate Holders.  After the Initial Issuance Date, by accepting a beneficial interest in a Global Note, any Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer agrees to give notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the acquisition and its Affiliate status.
Section 312.          When Securities Disregarded.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Outstanding Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded, except that (a) Notes owned by Specified Holders shall not be so disregarded and (b) for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good
58

faith shall not be so disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is either (i) not the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Person directly or indirectly controlled by the Issuer or any Guarantor or (ii) a Specified Holder. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes Outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.
Section 313.
Calculation of Specified Percentage of Notes.
With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes then Outstanding, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then Outstanding, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then Outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 312 of the Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 313 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.
Section 314.
Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Sections 1008 and 1010, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million which Additional Notes shall be part of the same series as the Initial Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date, rank equally with the Initial Notes and shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date in all respects, other than with respect to (a) the date of issuance, (b) the issue price, (c) the date from which interest begins to accrue and (d) the initial interest payment date. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued upon original issue under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, consents, directions, declarations, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; and none of the Holders of any Initial Notes or any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent; provided that the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes may be issued under separate CUSIP numbers.
With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(a)          the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and
(b)          the issue price, the issue date (and the corresponding date from which interest shall accrue thereon and the first interest payment date therefor) and the CUSIP number and any corresponding ISIN of such Additional Notes.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, with respect to any Additional Notes issued subsequent to the date of this Indenture, when the context requires, all provisions of this Indenture shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to be part of the same series as the Initial Notes originally issued
59

under this Indenture. Indebtedness represented by Additional Notes shall be subject to the covenants contained in this Indenture.

(b)          results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration),
and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in clause (a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing aggregates $75.0 million or more;
(6)          one or more judgments (to the extent not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $100.0 million shall be rendered against the Parent Guarantor, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed;

62

would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Parent Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or of any substantial part of its or their property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its or their affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(9)          unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the applicable Notes Documents (or unless otherwise permitted thereunder), Liens with respect to Collateral with an aggregate Fair Market Value of more than $100.0 million cease to be valid or enforceable, or the Issuer shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interests are invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Guarantor, the Issuer fails to cause such Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions; or
(10)          any Guarantee of the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under the Guarantee of such Guarantor (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Guarantee).

Section 502.
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8) with respect to the Parent Guarantor) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare (an “acceleration declaration”) the principal of, premium, if any, and accured and unpaid interest on the Notes, to be due and payable, and upon any such declaration the aggregate principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8) occurs with respect to the Parent Guarantor, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, on all of the Outstanding Notes shall become immediately due and payable, without any further action or notice to the extent permitted by law.
At any time after such an acceleration declaration occurs, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration declaration and its consequences if:
(i)          such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
(ii)          the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(A)          all overdue interest on all the Notes,
(B)          the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any such Notes which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration declaration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Notes,
(C)          to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate prescribed therefor in the Notes, and
(D)          all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(iii)          all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration declaration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)) on or after August 28, 2021, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium
64

on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal the optional redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, that would be applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the applicable Notes on the date of such acceleration as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated. If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)) prior to August 28, 2021, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes prepaid plus the Make Whole Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated.
In any such case, the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, shall constitute part of the Notes, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any amounts payable pursuant to the above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Holder, and each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, shall also be payable in the event the Notes are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). EACH OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE ISSUER AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) each of the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders, the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable;  and (D) the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes.
Section 503.
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
65

Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable).
Section 504.
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Notes, or the property or creditors of the Issuer or the Guarantors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions as may be necessary or advisable in order to have claims of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent allowed in any such proceeding.  In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due them for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Sections 607 and 1508.
No provision of the Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.
Section 505.
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

Section 506.

FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Sections 607 and 1508;
SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and
THIRD:  The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Guarantors or the Issuer, as applicable, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Section 507.
Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of Notes may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)          the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)          the Holder or Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)          such Holder or Holders offer, and if requested, provide, the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(5)          during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or obtains a preference or priority over such other Holders).
Section 508.
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity expressed in
67

such Notes (or, in the case of acceleration, redemption or offer by the Issuer to purchase the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, on the date of acceleration, Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable), and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, which right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 509.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 510.
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 511.
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 512.
Control by Holders.
Subject to Section 603(5), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, provided that
(a)          the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have no duty to determine whether any such direction is prejudicial to any Holder), and
68

(b)          the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from such Holders of Notes.
Section 513.
Waiver of Existing Defaults.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default
(a)          in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased by the Issuer pursuant to an offer to purchase by the Issuer made pursuant to the terms of the Indenture), or
(b)          in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver with respect to an existing default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 514.
Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; provided that this Section shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Issuer.
Section 515.
Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 516.
Subject to First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby understood and agreed that (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder Group pursuant to the Notes Documents and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Notes Documents or the application of proceeds
69

(including insurance and condemnation proceeds) of any Collateral, in each case, are subject to the limitations and provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein.
ARTICLE SIX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 601.
Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the other Notes Documents against the Trustee; and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no implied covenants shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee, and no provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.  The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 512.  The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, except that the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.  Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
Section 602.
Notice of Defaults.
If a default occurs hereunder and is continuing which is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Notes notice of such default within 90 days after it becomes known to such Responsible Officer; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any Event of Default and any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. Except in the case of a default or Event
70

of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee from the Issuer or a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references such Notes and the Indenture.
Section 603.
Certain Rights of Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 601:
(1)          the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(2)          any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(4)          the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(6)          the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the fees, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(7)          the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
71

request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney;
(8)          the Trustee shall not be responsible for genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien, or for monitoring the value of the Collateral that is released from the Lien hereunder;

(10)          the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes authorized or within its rights;
(11)          the Trustee shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Trustee (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, epidemics, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility);
(12)          the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof.  The Trustee may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so;
(13)          in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether such Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and
(14)          the permissive rights of the Trustee herein and in the other Notes Documents shall not be construed as a duty.
Section 604.
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.
The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and neither the Trustee nor any
72

Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Notes or the other Notes Documents.  Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.
Section 605.
May Hold Notes.
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Registrar, the Collateral Agent or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar, Collateral Agent or such other agent.
Section 606.
Money Held in Trust.
Money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Issuer.

(a)          to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(b)          except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of the Indenture (including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) and the Notes Documents, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(c)          to indemnify, jointly and severally with the Guarantors, the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee’s part as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the other Notes Documents (including enforcing this Section 607), including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and under the other Notes Documents.

(3)          the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

75

successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  Wherever reference is made in the Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50.0 million and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
76

this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.
If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

The Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) of the Parent Guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:
(1)          no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and
(2)          the Parent Guarantor would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (a) a Permitted Investment or (b) an Investment pursuant to Section 1009, in either case, in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date.
No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” unless:
(1)          all of the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of Designation, consist of Non-Recourse Debt, except for any guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which guarantee is not recourse to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, and except for any guarantee of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted as both an incurrence of Indebtedness and an Investment (in each case in an amount equal to the amount of such Indebtedness so guaranteed) permitted by Section 1008;
(2)          on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding (other than a guarantee permitted under clause (1) above) with the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Parent Guarantor; and
86

(3)          such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of such Person or
(a)          to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results (in each case other than a guarantee permitted under clause (1) above) (it being understood that any contractual arrangements between the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Subsidiary pursuant to which such Subsidiary sells products or provides services to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business are not included in this clause (3)).
Any such Designation by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Parent Guarantor giving effect to such Designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Designation complies with the foregoing conditions.  If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary at such time and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 1008 or the Lien is not permitted under Section 1010, the Parent Guarantor shall be in default of the applicable covenant.
The Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if:
(1)          no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation; and
(2)          all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of the Indenture.
Any such Redesignation shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Parent Guarantor giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Redesignation complies with the foregoing conditions.
Section 1007.
Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes under Section 1103, each Holder of Notes will have the right, except as provided below, to require that the Issuer purchase all or any part (equal to a minimum of $1.00 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes for a cash price equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
87

Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:
(1)          describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control;
(2)          offering to purchase, pursuant to the procedures required hereby and described in the notice (a “Change of Control Offer”), on a date specified in the notice, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days, nor later than 60 days, from the date the notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), and for the Change of Control Payment, all Notes that are properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; and
(3)          describing the procedures, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with the Indenture, that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.
On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
(1)          accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of a minimum of $1.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and
(2)          deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder who has so tendered Notes the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes so tendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $1.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.
If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.
A Change of Control Offer will be required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law.  The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the date of purchase.
The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
88

otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) the Issuer has given notice of the redemption of all of the Notes then Outstanding under Section 1103, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price.
If Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer to redeem all Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment price, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
The Issuer will comply with all applicable securities legislation in the United States, including, without limitation the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1007, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1007 by virtue of such compliance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
Section 1008.
Limitation on Additional Indebtedness.
The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided that the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor may incur additional Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), in each case, if, after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to the application of the proceeds thereof), the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00 (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”).
Notwithstanding the above, each of the following incurrences of Indebtedness shall be permitted (the “Permitted Indebtedness”):
(1)          Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under one or more Credit Facilities providing solely for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $350.0 million; provided that (a) such Credit Facilities shall be provided by commercial banks that issue letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments in the ordinary course of such commercial banks’ business and (b) the
89

pricing and economics of such Credit Facilities shall be on then prevailing market terms (as determined in good faith by the Issuer);
(2)          Indebtedness under (a) the Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date and (b) the Guarantees of such Notes;
(3)          Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent outstanding on the Initial Issuance Date (other than Indebtedness referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (6) of this paragraph);
(4)          (a) guarantees by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness, then the related guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, and (b) guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors;
(5)          Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and not for the purpose of speculation;
(6)          Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor owed to and held by a Restricted Subsidiary and Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case of this proviso, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (6);
(7)          Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of workers’ compensation claims, bank guarantees, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, property, casualty or liability insurance, take-or-pay obligations in supply arrangements, self-insurance obligations or completion, performance, bid performance, appeal, customs, advance payment or surety bonds or similar instruments in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting such workers’ compensation claims, bank guarantees, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, property, casualty or liability insurance, and letters of credit supporting performance or other obligations of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, take-or-pay obligations in supply arrangements, self-insurance obligations or completion, performance, bid performance, appeal, customs, advance payment or surety bonds or similar instruments;
(8)          Purchase Money Indebtedness incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date in an aggregate principal amount, taken together with Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, not to exceed at any
90

time outstanding the greater of (a) $250 million and (b) 2.5% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of incurrence;
(9)          Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business;
(10)          Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;
(11)          Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (8) above, this clause (11), or clause (13), (17) or (18) below;
(12)          indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing or in contemplation of any such acquisition;
(13)          additional Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13) and any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (a) $500 million and (b) 5.0% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of incurrence;
(14)          Indebtedness in respect of Specified Cash Management Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(15)          Indebtedness incurred in connection with a Permitted Factoring Transaction that is not recourse to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings);
(16)          Indebtedness of Persons incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person was acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor and such Person becomes a Guarantor upon such acquisition, or merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any Guarantor and the surviving Person is the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation); provided, however, that at the time such Person or its assets are acquired by the Issuer or a Guarantor, or merged or consolidated with the Issuer or a Guarantor and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (16) and any other related Indebtedness, either (i) the Parent Guarantor would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or (ii) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor and
91

its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than or equal to such Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation;
(17)          Indebtedness incurred (a) under the Additional Notes as described under Section 314 originally issued at a price no less than face value, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding and (b) the Guarantees of such Notes; and
(18)          Indebtedness incurred under any letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments issued in the ordinary course of business.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1008, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (18) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Parent Guarantor shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described (except that Indebtedness incurred under the LC Credit Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of this offering, shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) above and may not be reclassified) and may later reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (2) through (18) above (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories).  In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this covenant, (i) guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness and (ii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness, including in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness of this Section 1008; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Parent Guarantor as accrued.
For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; 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.  The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different
92

currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 1008, the Issuer shall be in Default of this covenant).
Section 1009.
Limitation on Restricted Payments.
The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment:
(1)          a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;
(2)          the Parent Guarantor is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or
(3)          the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Unsecured Notes Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (2) through (11) of the next paragraph), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):
(a)          50.0% of Consolidated Net Income of the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing on the Unsecured Notes Issue Date to and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for which consolidated financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100.0% of such deficit), plus
(b)          100.0% of (A) (i) the aggregate net cash proceeds and (ii) the Fair Market Value of (x) marketable securities (other than marketable securities of the Parent Guarantor), (y) Equity Interests of a Person (other than the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) engaged in a Permitted Business and (z) other assets used in any Permitted Business, received by the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Initial Issuance Date, in each case as a contribution to the Parent Guarantor’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Parent Guarantor that have been converted into or exchanged for such Qualified Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests or debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor), and (B) the aggregate net cash proceeds, if any, received by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon any conversion or exchange described in clause (A) above, plus
93

(c)          in the case of the disposition or repayment of or return on any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment after the Unsecured Notes Issue Date, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to 100.0% of the aggregate amount received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash or other property (valued at the Fair Market Value thereof) as the return of capital with respect to such Investment, plus
(d)          upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Parent Guarantor’s Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent such Investments reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph will not prohibit:
(1)          the payment of any dividend or redemption payment or the making of any distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if, on the date of declaration, the dividend, redemption or distribution payment, as the case may be, would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;
(2)          any Restricted Payment made in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests;
(3)          the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent incurrence of, Refinancing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 1008 and the other terms of the Indenture;
(4)          the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary at a purchase price not greater than 101.0% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 1007; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Issuer has made the Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 1007 and has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer;
(5)          so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor held by officers, directors or
94

employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their transferees, estates or beneficiaries under their estates), either (x) upon any such individual’s death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment or service or (y) pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement, restricted stock unit agreement, stockholders’ agreement or similar agreement; provided, in any case, that the aggregate cash consideration paid for all such redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions or retirements shall not exceed (A) $25.0 million during any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried forward to the next succeeding calendar year) plus (B) the amount of any net cash proceeds received by or contributed to the Parent Guarantor from the issuance and sale after the Initial Issuance Date of Qualified Equity Interests to its officers, directors or employees that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (5), plus (C) the net cash proceeds of any “key-man” life insurance policies that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (5); and provided further that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Parent Guarantor from members of management of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provision of the Indenture;
(6)          (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, rights to acquire Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries or other convertible securities to the extent such Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof and (b) any repurchase, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants or similar rights;
(7)          dividends or distributions on Disqualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor or on any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case issued in compliance with Section 1008 to the extent such dividends or distributions are included in the definition of Consolidated Interest Expense;
(8)          the payment of cash in lieu of fractional Equity Interests;
(9)          payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law in connection with a merger, consolidation or amalgamation that complies with the provisions of Section 801;
(10)          purchases of receivables pursuant to a Receivables Repurchase Obligation in connection with a Permitted Factoring Transaction and the payment or distribution of fees related thereto;
(11)          cash distributions by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with a distribution reinvestment plan or
95

dividend reinvestment plan to the extent such payments are applied to the purchase of Equity Interests directly from the Parent Guarantor;
(12)          payment of other Restricted Payments (other than Restricted Payments constituting Restricted Payment under clause (1) or clause (2) of the definition thereof) from time to time in an aggregate amount since the Initial Issuance Date not to exceed the greater of (i) $200 million and (ii) 2.0% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time made; or
(13)          dividends, loans, advances or distributions to any Successor Parent or other payments by the Parent Guarantor or any of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries in amounts required for any Successor Parent to pay any Related Taxes;
provided, that no issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests used to make a payment pursuant to clauses (2) or (5)(B) above shall increase the Restricted Payments Basket to the extent of such payment.
For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on Restricted Payments denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent amount of such Restricted Payment shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Restricted Payment was made.  The amount of any Restricted Payment (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment (or, in the case of a dividend, on the date of declaration) of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
Section 1010.
Limitation on Liens.
The Parent Guarantor will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any property, whether owned or leased on the Initial Issuance Date or thereafter acquired.  This restriction shall not apply to:
(1)          Liens (i) existing on the Initial Issuance Date (other than Liens under clause (1)(iii)), (ii) provided for under the terms of agreements existing on such date securing Indebtedness existing on such date, (iii) under the terms of a Credit Facility (including the LC Credit Agreement) securing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of the Permitted Indebtedness; provided that such Liens shall be limited to the Collateral and shall have the priorities set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or (iv) Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes;
(2)          Liens securing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (5), (9), (10), (14) and (18) (provided that Liens securing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (18) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness shall be limited to cash collateral pledged to secure letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments on customary and then prevailing market terms (as determined in good faith by the Issuer)) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness;
96

(3)          Liens on property acquired, constructed, altered or improved by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture which are created or assumed contemporaneously with, or within one year after, such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, altered or improved, after the completion and commencement of commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction, alteration or improvement, it being understood that if a commitment for such a financing is obtained prior to or within such one year period, the applicable Lien shall be deemed to be included in this clause (2) whether or not such Lien is created within such one year period; provided that in the case of any such construction, alteration or improvement the Lien shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than (i) the property so altered or improved and (ii) any theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or altered, or the improvement, is located;
(4)          Liens on any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including Liens on any property acquired from or held by a Person which is consolidated or amalgamated with or merged with or into the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) and Liens outstanding at the time any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that are not incurred in connection with such entity becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor;

97

secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, together with the reasonable costs related to such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to:
(a)          pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests to the Parent Guarantor or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interests);
(b)          make loans or advances, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed, to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness or obligations incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or
(c)          transfer any of its property or assets to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (a) or (b) above);

(2)          encumbrances or restrictions existing under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees;
(3)          any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;
(4)          any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not
98

applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired (including after acquired property);
(5)          any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increases, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or (10); provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refunding, replacements or refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements referred to in such clauses on the Initial Issuance Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;
(6)          encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law, regulation or order;

(9)          restrictions imposed under any agreement to sell Equity Interests or assets to any Person pending the closing of such sale;
(10)          any other agreement governing Indebtedness or other obligations entered into after the Initial Issuance Date that either (A) contains encumbrances and restrictions that in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Initial Issuance Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Initial Issuance Date or those contained in the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees or (B) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements or instruments governing such Indebtedness that is customary and does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the payment of dividends in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Issuer in good faith, to make scheduled payments of cash interest and principal on the Notes when due;
(11)          provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements, shareholder agreements and other similar agreements that restrict the disposition or distribution of ownership interests in or assets of such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation or similar Person;
99

(12)          Purchase Money Indebtedness and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof incurred in compliance with Section 1008 that imposes restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the assets acquired;
(13)          restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers, suppliers or landlords under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(14)          any encumbrance or restriction with respect to an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to or by reason of an agreement that the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a party to entered into before the date on which such Unrestricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in anticipation of the Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction shall not extend to any assets or property of the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property so acquired;
(15)          with respect to any Foreign Restricted Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (A) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (B) the Parent Guarantor determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be conclusive;
(16)          any Permitted Investment or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 1009;

Section 1012.
Limitation on Asset Sales.
The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1)          the Parent Guarantor (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or any Person assuming responsibilities for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(2)          at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the date of the Indenture is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
100

(a)          any liabilities, as shown on the Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than (i) unsecured Indebtedness and Indebtedness that is secured by Liens that are junior in priority to the Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees and (ii) contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability (or in lieu of such absence of liability, the acquiring Person or its parent company agrees to indemnify and hold the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary harmless from and against any loss, liability or cost in respect of such assumed liabilities accompanied by the posting of a letter of credit (issued by a commercial bank of national standing) in favor of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary for the full amount of such liabilities and for so long as such liabilities remain outstanding unless such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) shall have an investment grade rating (with no indication of a negative outlook or credit watch with negative implications, in any case, that contemplates such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) failing to have an investment grade rating) at the time the indemnity is entered into) or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee;
(b)          any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Parent Guarantor or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
(c)          Additional Assets.
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Parent Guarantor (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:
(I)          to prepay, repay, redeem or repurchase First Priority Obligations; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment, redemption repurchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (I), (a) the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and, in the case of revolving Indebtedness, will cause the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so retired and (b) if the asset that is subject to the Asset Sale is subject to a Lien securing the First Priority LC Obligations that ranks pari passu with (and is not subject to a waterfall provision with seniority to) the Indenture Obligations, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary will redeem or repurchase (or offer to redeem or repurchase) the Notes on a pro rata (or greater) basis with any other First Priority Obligations being prepaid, repaid, redeemed or repurchased, at the Company’s option, as provided under Section 1103 herein, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Offer) to all Holders to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the
101

amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;
(II)          to purchase Notes;
(III)          to invest in or acquire Additional Assets; or
(IV)          to make capital expenditures in respect of the Parent Guarantor’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Permitted Business.
provided that to the extent that the assets sold pursuant to this Section constituted Collateral, the Additional Assets received as consideration or that were acquired or invested in and the assets in respect of which such capital expenditures were made shall be owned by Note Parties.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”
If on the 366th day after an Asset Sale the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $25.0 million, within five days after such date, the Issuer will make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes, and all holders of other Indebtedness that constitutes First Priority Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis (based on principal amounts of Notes and other First Priority Obligations) the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other First Priority Obligations (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes, the Issuer will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require), based on the principal amounts tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $1.00, or an integral multiple of $1.00 thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Parent Guarantor may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Excess Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $25.0 million or less.
The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Parent Guarantor’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
102

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 1012, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions by virtue of such compliance.
Section 1013.
Limitation on Affiliate Transactions.
The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate involving aggregate value in excess of $40.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
(1)          the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, or if in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, or are otherwise fair to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and
(2)          the Parent Guarantor delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $75.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction.
The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:
(1)          transactions to the extent between or among (a) the Parent Guarantor and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2)          director, trustee, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or other benefit plan), payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries and indemnification arrangements, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors or senior management;
(3)          Permitted Investments (other than those made under clause (1) of such definition) or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 1009;
(4)          any agreement in effect on the Initial Issuance Date or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner that, taken as a whole, is not materially less
103

advantageous to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, than such agreement as it was in effect on the Initial Issuance Date;
(5)          any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) which would constitute an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor solely because the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such Person;
(6)          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 the Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the senior management of the Parent Guarantor, such transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor;
(7)          the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith to, or the receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Parent Guarantor;
(8)          pledging of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;
(9)          any transaction effected as part of a Permitted Factoring Transaction;
(10)          any transaction where the only consideration paid by the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor;
(11)          non-exclusive licenses of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property;
(12)          transactions between the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Parent Guarantor, and such director is the sole cause for such Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such director shall abstain from voting as a director of the Parent Guarantor on any matter involving such other Person; and
(13)          agreements and transactions entered into or effected in connection with the payment of Related Taxes.

(e)          the place or places where each such Note is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,
(f)          the CUSIP/ISIN numbers of the Notes
(g)          if the redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice thereof shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), and/or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, and/or that such notice may be rescinded at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived); and
(h)          that, at the Issuer’s option, that the payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and shall be irrevocable, but may be conditioned as set forth herein, provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days, in the case of Global Notes or five Business Days, in the case of Definitive Notes, before notice of redemption is required to be delivered electronically, mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 1105 (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

To the extent that the Redemption Date will occur on a date other than the original Redemption Date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption, the Issuer shall notify the Holders and the Trustee of the final Redemption Date prior to such date; provided that the failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of any redemption under this Article Eleven.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Note.
Section 1108.
Notes Redeemed in Part.
Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes of like tenor, and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in

112

Section 1303.
Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Issuer’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied to the Notes, (1) the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under Section 801(3) and Sections 1006 through 1014, inclusive; (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(3) (with respect only to the obligation under Section 801(3)), 501(4), 501(5), 501(6), 501(7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or 501(8) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 501(9) and 501(10) shall be deemed not to be or to result in a Default or an Event of Default, and (3) the Guarantees shall be automatically released, in each case as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, and any such omission will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
Section 1304.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or 1303:
(1)          the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants selected by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be,

(3)          in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that the Holders of the
113

Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred,
(4)          no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings),
(5)          the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is bound,
(6)          the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others, and

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes.

114

Section 1306.
Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Notes by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under the Indenture and the Notes from which the Issuer has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Note following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
GUARANTEES
Section 1401.
Unconditional Guarantee.
(a)          For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture, the Notes and the Notes Documents by the Issuer and the Guarantors (including amounts incurred in enforcing this Guarantee) (collectively, the “Indenture Obligations”), but in the case of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) up to a maximum total amount of 120% of the aggregate amount of the Notes, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1403; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of WOFS Assurance with respect to the Indenture Obligations shall be limited or extinguished, as applicable, to the extent necessary to ensure that WOFS Assurance, at all times, meets its minimum solvency margin and liquidity ratio pursuant to the Insurance Act and sections 31A through 31C of the Insurance Act.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors’ liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Indenture Obligations and would be owed by the Issuer to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders under the Indenture and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Issuer.
(b)          Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to its Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be jointly and severally (in Spanish, en forma solidaria) obligated (to the fullest extent permitted by law) to pay the same immediately to the Trustee, without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise), except as set out in Section 1410 below for a Swiss Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, the mechanics of Section 1410(e) to (h) below shall apply exclusively in case of Swiss tax deduction (including withholding) relating to a Swiss
115

Guarantor.  Each Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a senior secured obligation of the applicable Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all debt of such Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Guarantee of any other Guarantor or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any other Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 507, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce its Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or any other Guarantor.
(c)          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article shall be as aforesaid full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer or any of the other Guarantors contained in the Notes or the Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Issuer, any of the other Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of any rights or remedies under the Notes or the Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Notes, including all or any part of the rights of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors under the Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Notes or the Indenture or of the time for performance by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors set forth in the Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, examinership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of any of the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture, (J) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other
116

existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer or any Guarantor or (K) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
(d)          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, the benefit of excussion (in Spanish, beneficio de excusión), the benefit of order (in Spanish, beneficio de órden), notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, and all demands and notices whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.
(e)          Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, provided, however, that such Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Notes and the Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged.
(f)          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Article Fourteen and the Guarantees shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies.  The rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity.  Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen shall limit the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article Five or to pursue any other rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.
Section 1402.
Subsidiary Guarantee Evidenced by Indenture.
The Guarantee of any Guarantor shall be evidenced solely by its execution and delivery of the Indenture (or, in the case of any Guarantor that is not party to the Indenture on the Initial Issuance Date, a supplemental indenture hereto) and not by an endorsement on, or attachment to, any Note or any guarantee or notation thereof.
117

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Restricted Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, if required by Section 1014 hereof, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 1014 hereof and this Article Fourteen, to the extent applicable.
Section 1403.
Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability.
Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantees hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, each of the Holders of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantees and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the LC Credit Agreement or the Unsecured Notes Indenture) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law.
Section 1404.
Release of Guarantors from Guarantees.
(a)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, the Guarantee of any Guarantor shall be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1404.  A Guarantor shall be released automatically from its obligations under its Guarantee and its other obligations under the Indenture upon:
(i)
(A)          in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any disposition of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety (whether by consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary;
(B)          in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any disposition (whether by consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or otherwise) of the
118

(C)          in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the proper designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(E)          Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided in Article Four; or
(F)          liquidation and dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; and
(ii)          the Issuer delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 1404 relating to the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee and its other obligations under the Indenture have been complied with.
(b)          The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
(c)          Any Guarantor not released in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture will remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article Fourteen, subject to the limitations of Section 1403.
Section 1405.
Guarantor Contribution.
To the extent permissible under the laws applicable to the relevant Guarantor, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor as to be agreed among the Guarantors by separate agreement.
Section 1406.
 [Reserved]
Section 1407.
Luxembourg Limitations
(a)          The payment obligation of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) for the obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantor that is not a Subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor, shall be limited at any time, with no double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:
119

(i)          ninety five per cent (95%) of the sum of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (capitaux propres) (as referred to in Annex 1 of the Luxembourg regulation dated 18 December 2015 defining the form and the content of the balance sheet and profit and loss account layouts and implementing among others article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (the “Own Funds”) and such Luxembourg Guarantor’s debt which is subordinated in right of payment (whether generally or specifically) to any claim of any Holder under any of the Notes Documents (the “Lux Subordinated Debt”), as determined on the basis of the then latest available annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, as at the date of this Indenture; and
(ii)          the sum of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and the Lux Subordinated Debt, as determined on the basis of the then latest available annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, as at the date of a guarantee payment under this Indenture.
(iii)          Where for the purpose of the above determinations, no duly established annual accounts are available for the relevant reference period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a situation where, in respect of the determination to be made under (a) above, no final annual accounts have been established in due time in respect of the then most recently ended financial year) the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor shall, promptly, establish unaudited interim accounts (as of the date of the end of the then most recent financial quarter) or annual accounts (as applicable) duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, pursuant to which the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and Lux Subordinated Debt will be determined.  If the relevant Guarantor fails to provide such unaudited interim accounts or annual accounts (as applicable) within 30 Business Days as from the request of the Trustee, the Trustee may appoint an independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or an independent reputable investment bank which shall undertake the determination of the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and Lux Subordinated Debt.  In order to prepare such determination, the independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or the independent reputable investment bank shall take into consideration such available elements and facts at such time, including without limitation, the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor and any entities in which it has a direct or indirect equity interest, any recent valuation of the assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, the market value of the assets of such Guarantor and any entities in which it has a direct or indirect equity interest as if sold between a willing buyer and a willing seller as a going concern using a standard market multi criteria approach combining market multiples, book value, discounted cash flow or comparable public transaction of which price is known (taking into account circumstances at the time of the valuation and making all necessary adjustments to the assumption being used) and acting in a reasonable manner.
(b)          The limitation set forth in clause (a) shall not apply to any amounts borrowed under this Indenture and made directly or indirectly available, in any form whatsoever, to the Luxembourg Guarantor or to any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries.
120

Section 1408.          Norwegian Limitations.
The Norwegian Financial Agreements Act shall not apply to this Indenture, except as required by § 2 of the Financial Agreements Act (if applicable). The liability of each Guarantor incorporated in Norway in its capacity as Guarantor (each a “Norwegian Guarantor”)  shall be limited to USD $750,000,000, plus any interest, default interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses due under any Indenture Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of any Norwegian Guarantor under this Indenture shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of sections 8-7 and/or 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 (the “Act”) regarding restrictions on a Norwegian limited liability company’s ability to grant guarantees, loans, security or other financial assistance. The obligations of the Norwegian Guarantors shall only be limited to the extent this is required from time to time, and the Norwegian Guarantors shall be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the Act as amended from time to time.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this Indenture by a Norwegian Guarantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this Section 1408, the Holders shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the Holders as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian Guarantor.
Section 1409.
Irish Limitations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the obligations, liabilities and undertakings of Parent Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (a) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland (or any analogous provision of any other applicable law), or (b) constitute a breach of section 239 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland (or any analogous provision of any other applicable law).
Section 1410.
Swiss Financial Assistance.
(a)          If and to the extent a Swiss Guarantor becomes liable under this Guarantee or any other Notes Document for obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantor (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Swiss Guarantor) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and if complying with such obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Guarantor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, such Swiss Guarantor’s aggregate liability for Restricted Obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable equity (frei verfügbares Eigenkapital) at the time it becomes liable including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves, in accordance with Swiss law (the “Freely Disposable Amount”).
(b)          This limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time any Swiss Guarantor is required to perform Restricted Obligations under the Notes Documents. Such limitation shall not free such Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when such Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity. The limitation set out in this
121

Section 1410 shall not apply to the extent such Swiss Guarantor guarantees or otherwise secures any amounts borrowed under any Notes Document which are on-lent to such Swiss Guarantor or to wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Swiss Guarantor.
(c)          If the enforcement of the obligations of any Swiss Guarantor under the Notes Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Indenture, such Swiss Guarantor shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Trustee, (i) write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for such Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and (ii) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law, provided that such steps are permitted under the Notes Documents.
(d)          Each Swiss Guarantor, and any direct holding company of the Swiss Guarantor which is a party to a Notes Document, shall procure that such Swiss Guarantor will take and will cause to be taken all and any action as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 Business Days from the request of the Trustee, including, without limitation, (i) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Indenture or any other Notes Documents, (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, (iii) the provision of a determination by such Swiss Guarantor of the Freely Disposable Amount based on such audited interim balance sheet, (iv) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors of such Swiss Guarantor that a payment by such Swiss Guarantor under the Notes Documents in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, and (v) the obtaining of any other confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time such Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Indenture or any other Notes Document, in order to allow a prompt payment in relation to Restricted Obligations with a minimum of limitations.
(e)          If so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time it is required to make a payment under this Indenture, each Swiss Guarantor:
(i)          shall use its best efforts to ensure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;
(ii)          shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 1410(e)(i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 1410(e)(i) applies for a part of the Swiss withholding tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iii)          shall promptly notify the Trustee that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Trustee with evidence that such a notification
122

of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
(f)          In the case of a deduction of Swiss withholding tax, each Swiss Guarantor shall use its best efforts to ensure that any person that is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such payment under this Indenture or any other Notes Document, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:
(i)          request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under applicable law (including tax treaties); and
(ii)          pay to the Trustee upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(g)          The Trustee shall co-operate with the Swiss Guarantor to secure such refund.
(h)          To the extent any Swiss Guarantor is required to deduct Swiss withholding tax pursuant to this Guarantee, and if the Freely Disposable Amount is not fully utilised, such Swiss Guarantor will be required to pay an additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss withholding tax the aggregate net amount paid to the Trustee is equal to the amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss withholding tax had been required from such Swiss Guarantor, provided that (i) the aggregate amount paid (including the additional amount) shall in any event be limited to the Freely Disposable Amount (ii) such gross up is not explicitly prohibited under the applicable law or federal court practice, and (iii) such steps are permitted under the Notes Documents. In such case, if a refund of the Swiss withholding tax is made to a Holder, such Holder shall transfer the refund so received, after deduction of costs, to such Swiss Guarantor, subject to any right of set-off of such Holder pursuant to the Notes Documents.
(i)          The Parent Guarantor hereby represents that it is not resident for tax purposes in Switzerland and is not subject to Swiss withholding tax.

Section 1411.
Parallel Debt.
(a)          Each Guarantor, by way of an independent payment obligation, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the Holders, sums equal to and in the currency of each amount payable by such Guarantor to any of the Holders under the Indenture Obligations as and when that amount falls due for payment under the Indenture Obligations. The parties to this Indenture acknowledge and confirm that the parallel debt provisions contained herein shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the obligations under the Indenture Obligations.
(b)          The obligations of each Guarantor under clause (a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of such Guarantor to any Holder under the Indenture Obligations (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Guarantor is liable under clause (a) above (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt; provided, that: (x) the Collateral Agent shall not demand payment with regard to the Parallel Debt of any Guarantor to the extent that such Guarantor’s Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee
123

obligations) discharged and (y) none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder shall demand payment with regard to the Corresponding Debt of any Guarantor, to the extent that such Guarantor’s Parallel Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.
(c)          The Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as agent and it shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Guarantor, under this Section 1411.  Collateral Agent may not assign or transfer any claim arising from the Parallel Debt other than to any successor agent.
(d)          Any amount due and payable by a Guarantor, to the Collateral Agent in respect of a Parallel Debt under this Section 1411 shall be automatically decreased and discharged to the extent that such Guarantor has paid the corresponding amount under the Corresponding Debt and any amount due and payable by a Guarantor to the other applicable Holders under the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that such Guarantor has paid the corresponding amount to the Collateral Agent under its Parallel Debt.  The Guarantors shall have all objections and defenses against the Parallel Debt which they have against the Corresponding Debt. An Event of Default in respect of the payment of the Corresponding Debt shall constitute a default within the meaning of section 3:248 Netherlands Civil Code with respect to the payment of the Parallel Debt without any notice being required.
(e)          The amount of the Parallel Debt of a Guarantor shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt and the aggregate amount outstanding owed by the Guarantors under the Indenture Obligations at any time shall not exceed the amount of the Corresponding Debt at that time.
(f)          The rights of the Trustee and the Holders (other than the Collateral Agent in its capacity as parallel debt creditor) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Guarantor, under the Corresponding Debt are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment under the Parallel Debt.
Section 1412.
Dutch Covenants.
Any fiscal unity (fiscale eenheid) for Dutch tax purposes, of which a Note Party forms part of, shall consist of Note Parties and/or Restricted Subsidiaries only. Each Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands shall be solely resident for tax purposes in the Netherlands and shall not have any permanent establishment or other taxable presence outside the Netherlands, unless with the prior written consent of the Trustee.

124

German Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated in Germany as (x) a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung - GmbH) (a “German GmbH Guarantor”) or (y) a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a limited liability company as general partner (a “German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor”) in relation to whom any of the Holders intends to demand payment under this Guarantee.
Guaranteed Obligor” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(b).
Management Determination” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(e).
Net Assets” means the relevant company’s assets (Section 266 para. (2) A, B, C, D and E German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)), less the aggregate of its liabilities (Section 266 para. (3) B (but disregarding any accruals (Rückstellungen) in respect of a potential enforcement of this Guarantee or any Transaction Security), C, D and E German Commercial Code), the amount of profits (Gewinne) not available for distribution to its shareholders in accordance with section 268 para. 8 German Commercial Code and the amount of its stated share capital (Stammkapital).
(b)          Subject to the provisions of this Section 1413, each Holder agrees not to enforce the guarantee under this Indenture if and to the extent that the guarantee under this Indenture secures any liability of a Guarantor which is an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a German Guarantor (other than that German Guarantor’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries) (the “Guaranteed Obligor”) and if and to the extent that a payment under this Guarantee would cause that German Guarantor’s (or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG as Guarantor, its general partners’) Net Assets (determined pursuant to Section 1413(c), (e) and/or (f)) to be reduced below zero (Begründung einer Unterbilanz), or further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz) if already below zero.
(c)          For the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:
(i)          the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des Stammkapitals) of the relevant German Guarantor after the date hereof that has been effected without the consent of the Holders, shall be deducted from the stated share capital at that time;
(ii)          liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in violation of the Notes Documents; and
(iii)          indebtedness which is subordinated to any Indebtedness outstanding under this Indenture (including indebtedness in respect of guarantees for financial indebtedness which is so subordinated),
shall be disregarded.
(d)          In addition, the German Guarantor and, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, also its general partner, shall realize, to the extent legally permitted and
125

commercially reasonable with respect to the cost of such sale, in a situation where the enforcement of this Guarantee would cause the Net Assets to fall below zero or be further reduced if already below zero, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the asset if such asset is not ncesessary for the German Guarantor’s or, as the case may be, its general partner’s, business (betriebsnotwendig).
(e)          Upon receipt of a payment demand notice to any German Guarantor under this Guarantee (the “Enforcement Notice”), the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Holders, without undue delay, but in any event no later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Enforcement Notice, (i) a written response, including the extent, if any, to which this Guarantee should not be enforced, (ii) its up-to-date balance sheet or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its and its general partner’s up-to-date balance sheet, and (iii) a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of its Net Assets, taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 1413(c) (clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Management Determination”). The Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.
(f)          Following the Holders’ receipt of the Management Determination, upon request by the Holders, the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Holders, within 30 Business Days of such request, (i) its up-to-date balance sheet or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its and its general partner’s up-to-date balance sheet, drawn-up by its auditor and (ii) a detailed calculation of the amount of the Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 1413(c) (the “Auditor’s Determination”). Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied by the German Guarantors. The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.
(g)          The Holders shall be entitled to demand payment under this Guarantee in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination or, if applicable and taking into account any previous enforcement in accordance with the Management Determination, the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the German Guarantor’s Net Assets, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s Net Assets, to be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero. If and to the extent that the Net Assets as determined by the Auditor’s Determination are lower than the amount enforced (i) in accordance with the Management Determination or (ii) without regard to the Management and/or Auditor’s Determination, the Holders shall release to the relevant German Guarantor (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor to its general partner) such excess enforcement proceeds.
(h)          The restriction under Section 1413(b) shall not apply:
(i)          to the extent that this Guarantee secures (A) any loans that are on-lent, otherwise been passed on or actually disbursed to the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and not repaid or (B) any guarantees issued under this Guarantee for the benefit of the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries which are not returned;
126

(ii)          if the relevant German Guarantor (as dominated entity) is subject to a domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (a “DPTA”) with the Guaranteed Obligor, whether directly or indirectly through a chain of DPTAs between each company and its shareholder (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor between its general partner and its shareholder) provided that the existence of that DPTA does prevent the violation of section 30 of the German Act on Companies with Limited Liabilities (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung);
(iii)          if and to extent the relevant German Guarantor has on the date of enforcement of this Indenture a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against its shareholder or the Guaranteed Obligor;
(iv)          if and to the extent, despite being in a position to take measures as described above under Section 1413(d), the German Guarantor fails to take its best efforts to carry out such measures; or
(v)          if a court order providing for the commencement of insolvency proceedings in respect of the assets of the German Guarantor has been issued.
(i)          For the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prevent the Trustee from enforcing its rights under this Indenture against a German Guarantor if and to the extent that such enforcement does not contravene the provisions, or such limitations are not required in order to protect the managing directors of a German Guarantor from incurring personal liability exposure with respect to breaches, of section 30 of the German Act on Companies with Limited Liability (as amended from time to time and as each interpreted by the German Federal Court).
(j)          The limitations set forth in this Section 1413 shall not affect the right of a Holder to claim again any amount outstanding at a later point in time if and to the extent that this Section 1413 would allow this at such later point in time.
Section 1414.
English Law Limitations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided under this Indenture by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of England and Wales does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in such guarantee, indemnity or other obligation hereunder constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of England and Wales.
Section 1415.
Mexican Law Limitations.

Section 1416.
Argentine Law Limitations.
(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, with respect to any and each of the Guarantors incorporated in Argentina (any such guarantor, an “Argentine Guarantor”), such Argentine Guarantor shall provide its consent for any renewal, extension, any change in, or any modification of, in any manner whatsoever, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer or such Argentine Guarantor contained in the Notes or the Indenture.
(b)          Each of the Argentine Guarantors hereby acknowledges and recognizes that it is in the best interest of the Parent Guarantor and its Affiliates that the Supplemental Indenture (substantially in the form of Annex B to this Indenture) be executed by the Argentine Guarantors.
(c)
(i)          The parties hereto acknowledge that (a) this is part of a cross-border financing, (b) the transactions and disbursements made under the Notes are made and denominated in Dollars and (c) any and all payments to be made by any Argentine Guarantor hereunder shall be made exclusively in Dollars. The Argentine Guarantor waives (a) any right (including any right under Section 765 of the Argentine National Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable)) it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Notes in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable or (b) the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility (including any defense under Section 1091 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code), or similar defenses or principles (including, without limitation, equity or sharing of efforts principles, impossibility to comply with the obligations under Section 1732 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, “onerosidad sobreviviente,” “lesión enorme” or “abuso del derecho” under Section 10 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code). Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes shall impair any of the rights of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties or justify the Argentine Guarantor in refusing to make payments hereunder in Dollars for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the following: (a) the purchase of Dollars in Argentina by any means becoming more onerous or burdensome for the Borrower and/or the Argentine Guarantor than as of the date hereof and (b) the exchange rate in force in Argentina increasing significantly from that in effect as of the date hereof. Accordingly, the Argentine Guarantor assumes the risk
128

of, and takes responsibility for any present or future circumstance (including circumstances that may constitute events of force majeure) that may affect the foreign exchange market or any methods for obtaining Dollars, or prevent or make more burdensome the acquisition of Dollars owed hereunder, and it agrees, in any event, to honor all its obligations by the delivery of the exact amount of Dollars owed hereunder outside Argentina.
(ii)          Each of the Argentine Guarantors hereby agrees that, if there is any restriction or prohibition to access to the Argentine foreign exchange market, or on the payment outside of Argentina of any amounts due under the Notes, or a requirement to have prior authorization of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina) or of any other Authority, and such authorization is not obtained prior to the applicable payment date, the Argentine Guarantor shall, at its own expense, obtain the required amount of Dollars to pay the relevant amount, to the extent permitted by law, through (a) the purchase of any public or private bond or tradable debt or equity security listed in Argentina and denominated in Dollars, and transfer and sale of the same out of Argentina for the payment of the then-due amount in Dollars; (b) the purchase of the due amount in Dollars in any market in which it may be purchased, with any legal tender; or (c) any other lawful mechanism for the acquisition of Dollars. It is hereby clarified and understood that, in case new regulations prohibit the mechanisms referred to in (a) through (c) above, the parties (including the Argentine Guarantor) shall negotiate, in good faith, reasonable available alternatives for the Argentine Guarantor to fulfill its obligations under this Indenture. Any payment obligations shall only be discharged upon the receipt by each of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties of the full payment of all such payment obligations, in Dollars. Interest shall continue to accrue as specified in this Indenture and the Notes on any amounts that are not paid on the due date therefor as a result of the Argentine Guarantor or any other entity’s entering into or consummating any transaction to obtain Dollars to make any required payment hereunder or the Notes and such shall continue to accrue until full payment of such amount due is made to the relevant First Lien Notes Secured Party.
(iii)          Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Indenture, the Argentine Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and benefits set forth in Articles 1584 (Excepciones al beneficio de excusión), 1583 (Beneficio de excusión) the first paragraph of 1585 (Beneficio de excusión en caso de coobligados), 1588 (Efectos de la sentencia), 1589 (Beneficio de división), 1592 (Subrogación) (as long as there are any outstanding payment obligations under the Notes), 1594 (Derechos del fiador), 1595 (as long as there are any outstanding payment obligations under the Notes), 1596 (Causales de extinción), 1597 (Novación) and 1598 (Evicción) of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code. Furthermore, the Argentine Guarantor hereby waives the right to request the termination of this Indenture for any of the events set forth in items (b), (c) and (d) of Article 1596 (Causales de extinción) of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code.

(c)          With respect to any release of Collateral or release of the Notes from the Liens securing the Notes, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases (whether electronically or in writing) to evidence, and shall do or cause to be done all other acts reasonably necessary to effect, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable, the release and discharge of any Collateral or any Notes permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting any automatic release provided hereunder or under any Collateral Document, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.
Section 1503.
Suits to Protect the Collateral
Subject to the provisions of Article Six hereof and the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, may or may instruct the Collateral Agent in writing to take all actions it reasonably determines are necessary in order to:
(a)          enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and
(b)          collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Indenture Obligations hereunder.
132

Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 1503 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.
Section 1504.
Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents.
Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 1505.
Purchaser Protected.
In no event shall any purchaser or other transferee in good faith of any property or asset purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property, asset or rights permitted by this Article Fifteen to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.
Section 1506.
Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee
In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Fifteen upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or asset may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Fifteen; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.
Section 1507.
Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.
In the event that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other Indenture Obligations that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Issuer shall have exercised its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Section 1302 or 1303 hereof, as applicable, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such notice by the Trustee have been
133

satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral solely on behalf of the Holders of the Notes without representation, warranty or recourse (other than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 1302 or 1033 hereof, as applicable), and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents solely on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall execute and deliver all documents and do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Issuer and upon receipt of the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel described in Section 1502(c)) all acts reasonably requested by the Issuer to release and discharge such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Section 1508.
Collateral Agent.
(a)          The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and the Issuer directs and authorizes and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms or the terms of this Indenture. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 1508. The provisions of this Section 1508 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee or any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
134

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the Collateral Agent hereby undertakes, and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note authorize the Collateral Agent to:
(i)          hold and administer, or as the case may be authorize and appoint, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes, any other person in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or First Lien Other Intercreditor Agreement (as applicable), any non-accessory Collateral (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes;
(ii)          hold and administer any accessory Collateral (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes;
(iii) accept, enter into and execute, as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) granted in favor of any Holder under German law in connection with the Notes and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Collateral Document governed by German law which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral.
(b)          The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.
(c)          Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any other Notes
135

Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.
(d)          The Collateral Agent shall be entitled (in the absence of bad faith) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) 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, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Unless otherwise expressly required hereunder or pursuant to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
(e)          The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Holders or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article Six or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 1508).
(f)          The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer
136

shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 1508 (and Section 607) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.  If the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Collateral Agent.
(g)          The Issuer and each of the Holders by its acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, respectively, to appoint co-Collateral Agents, sub-agents and other additional Collateral Agents (and, in each case, appointment of such person shall be reflected in documentation, which the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into). Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(h)          The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Initial Issuance Date, (ii) to enter into and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.
(i)           If applicable, the Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly
137

shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(j)          The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes accompanied by, if requested, indemnity satisfactory to it or as otherwise provided in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder or any other Collateral Agent as to any of the foregoing.
(k)          No provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have first received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (k) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.
(l)          The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for
138

interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent (a) shall be held uninvested without liability for interest, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) shall be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and (c) not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.
(m)          Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.
(n)          The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Indenture Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Indenture Obligations under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Documents. No Collateral Agent shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.
(o)          The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities,
139

claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the other Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset pursuant to this Indenture which in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.
(p)          Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Initial Issuance Date. Such Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 1508(p), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent (if any) to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.
(q)          Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any Collateral Document.
140

(r)          After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents.
(s)          The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and other Collateral Documents or and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
(t)          Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(u)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Notes Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Notes Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC or PPSA financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant Covered Jurisdiction)), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
(v)          Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer, the Guarantors, or the Trustee, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to its reasonable satisfaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(w)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and/or the Trustee solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.
141

(x)          The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 607 hereof, with the references to the “Trustee” in Section 607 hereof deemed to include a reference to the Collateral Agent.
(y)          The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes acknowledges and directs that the benefits, indemnities, privileges, protections, and rights of Collateral Agent shall extend to (and may be claimed directly or by the Collateral Agent on behalf of) each sub-agent, as the case may be.
Section 1509.
Quebec Law Matters.
For the purposes of any grant of security under the laws of the Province of Quebec which may in the future be required to be provided by any Note Party, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the Holders to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Holders (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties).  Any Person who becomes a Holder or successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Holders, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Holder.  For greater certainty, the Collateral Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Indenture, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.  In the event of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.
Section 1510.
Scottish Appointment Matters
The Collateral Agent declares that it holds in trust for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, on the terms contained in this Article Fifteen: (A) the Collateral expressed to be subject to the Liens created in favor of the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties by or pursuant to each Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland, and all proceeds of that Collateral; (B) all obligations expressed to be undertaken by any Note Party to pay amounts in respect of the Obligations to the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties and secured by any Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland together with all representations and warranties expressed to be given by any Note Party or any other Person in favor of the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties; and (C) any other amounts or property, whether rights, entitlements, choses in action or otherwise, actual or contingent, which the Collateral Agent is required by the terms of the Notes Documents to hold as trustee in trust for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties.
Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article Fifteen, each of the Holders, and by their acceptance of the benefits of the Notes Documents and the other holders of Indenture Obligations hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to perform the duties, obligations
142

and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretion specifically given to the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties under or in connection with the Notes Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent in its capacity as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Indenture, which shall apply mutatis mutandis and the use of the term “trustee” in this section is a matter of Scottish custom and does not impose any obligations on the Collateral Agent to act as a “trustee” under New York law.
Section 1511.
Swiss Appointment Matters.
In relation to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland which provide for a non-accessory security interest (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheiten), the Collateral Agent shall hold and administer and, as the case may be, release and (subject to it having become enforceable) realize any such Collateral (including any and all benefits in connection with such Collateral Documents and any and all proceeds of such Collateral) on a fiduciary basis (treuhänderisch) for itself and for the benefit of all other First Lien Notes Secured Parties.
In relation to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland which provide for an accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheiten), the Collateral Agent shall hold and administer and, as the case may be, release and (subject to it having become enforceable) realize any such Collateral (including any and all benefits in connection with such Collateral Documents and any and all proceeds of such Collateral) for itself (including as creditor of the Parallel Debt) and as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of each other First Lien Secured Party and each present and future First Lien Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in relation to any and all matters in connection with such Collateral Documents.
Section 1512.
Parallel Debt Collateral Matters.
The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland and agree with the creation of Parallel Debt obligations as provided for in Section 1411.  The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Holders and the Note Parties, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland, any resignation by the Collateral Agent is not effective with respect to its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debts until such rights and obligations are assigned to the successor agent. The resigning Collateral Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the Parallel Debts to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland to such successor agent.

Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (herein called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of          U.S. dollars on September 1, 2024, or such greater or lesser amount as may be indicated on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note attached hereto, and to pay interest thereon from August 28, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2021, at the rate of 8.75% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  The Issuer shall pay (i) Defaulted Interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2% higher than the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful and (ii) Defaulted Interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate that is 2% higher than the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful.  Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
If the Holder of this Note has given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will make all payments on this Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account in the United States of America specified in those instructions.  Otherwise, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the United States of America in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and

[Form of Reverse of Note]
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 28, 2020 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors named therein, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.
Except as set forth below and in the Indenture, the Issuer shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to August 28, 2021. On or after August 28, 2021, on any one or more occasions, the Issuer shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at any time, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 28 of the years indicated below:
YEAR
PERCENTAGE
2021          
104.375%
2022          
102.188%
2023 and thereafter          
100.000%

Prior to August 28, 2021, the Issuer may redeem on one or more occasions all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of:
(A)          the principal amount thereof, plus
(B)          the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date, plus
(C)          accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
The Notes may also be redeemed, as a whole, at the Issuer’s option, following Change of Control Offers, at the respective Redemption Prices and subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 1103(d) and 1007 of the Indenture, respectively.
Notice of any redemption upon any corporate transaction or other event (including any offering of Equity Interests, incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction)
A-4

may be given prior to the completion thereof.  In addition, any redemption or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction or other event.  If any redemption is so subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice thereof shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), and/or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, and/or that such notice may be rescinded at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived). In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note as well as certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default, as well as provisions for the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes affected thereby (voting as a separate series).  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance with certain covenants or provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Outstanding Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded, except that Notes owned by Specified Holders (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be so disregarded.
A-5

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Notes may be declared (or shall automatically become) due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy and offer and, if requested, provide the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (except as required by applicable tax laws), whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
A-6

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Nothing in this Amendment (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)          Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying

(f)          The Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

9

to itself or its property, such Obligor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 13.          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 AMENDMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

10

certificates, instruments and other documents and statements (whether written or oral) related to any of the foregoing (each, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”). Each Releasing Party further stipulates and agrees with respect to all Claims, that it hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or any principle of common law, that would otherwise limit a release or discharge of any unknown Claims pursuant to this Section 14.

Section 15.          Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment 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 Amendment, the LC Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract 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. This Amendment shall become effective on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

the average daily Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit (whether or not any increase in respect thereof has taken effect) during the period from and including the date of issuance of each such Letter of Credit to but excluding the earlier of (1) the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or terminates and (2) the Maturity Date (the “LC Participation Fee”); and
(ii)          to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or terminates, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears in Dollars on the fifth Business Day after such last day, with payment commencing on April 7, 2020; provided that all such fees shall be payable to the Lenders on the Maturity Date, to all Lenders on any other date on which the aggregate Commitments terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the aggregate Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable in Dollars within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) other than as set forth in the definition of “Prime Rate”.  The amount of participation and fronting fees payable hereunder shall be set forth in a written invoice or other notice delivered to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or, in the case of fronting fees, by the applicable Issuing Bank.

-53-

SECTION 2.05          Interest.
(a)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default has occurred  and is continuing, including if any reimbursement obligation, any fee, (including the fronting fee, the facility fee and the LC Participation Fee), or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.000% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such amount.
(b)          Accrued interest shall be payable in arrears in immediately available funds on the fifth Business Day after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and upon termination of the Commitments with payment commencing on April 7, 2020; provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.05(a) shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Obligations, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(c)          All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed as set forth in the definition of “Prime Rate”.  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and such determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
(d)          The interest rates provided for in this Agreement with respect to any Swiss Obligor, including this Section 2.05, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 2.05 or in other Sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax.  Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, in the event that Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on interest payments, the payment of interest due by a Swiss Obligor shall, in line with and subject to Section 4.02, including any limitations therein and any obligations thereunder, be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-Refundable Portion (as defined below) of the Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of the Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For this purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. For the purposes of this Section, “Non-Refundable Portion” shall mean the Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35%) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-Refundable Portion is a specified lower rate, in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender. The Lenders shall provide to the Swiss Obligors all reasonably requested information, and otherwise reasonably cooperate, to obtain such Swiss tax ruling. Each Swiss Obligor shall provide to the Administrative Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to claim a refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.
(e)          For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid under any Loan Document is to be calculated on the
-54-

basis of a 360-day, 365-day or 366-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable.  The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields.  The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.06          Alternate Rate of Fees.
(a)          If prior to the commencement of any LC Fee Period for a Letter of Credit:
(i)          the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such LC Fee Period; or
(ii)          the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such LC Fee Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining participations in Letters of Credit for such LC Fee Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format)) thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then in the case of any fee charged in respect of a Letter of Credit at the LIBO Rate, such fee shall on the last day of the then current LC Fee Period applicable thereto begin to accrue at the Alternate Base Rate.
(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) that they have determined that:
(i)          adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for any LC Fee Period, including, without limitation, because the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)          the supervisor for the administrator of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans,
then, after (A) such determination by the Administrative Agent in good faith or (B) receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate with an alternate
-55-

benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable (any such proposed rate, a “LIBO Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBO Successor Rate Conforming Changes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction in the Applicable Margin); provided, that if such alternate rate of interest would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.  If no LIBO Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.07          Increased Costs.
(a)          If any Change in Law shall:
(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;
(ii)          impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)          subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (h) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, (C) Connection Income Taxes, and (D) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Commitment or to increase the cost to any Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon written request of such Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)          If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or on the
-56-

participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)          A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.07(a) or Section 2.07(b), along with (i) a calculation of such amount or amounts, (ii) a description of the specific Change in Law that justifies such amounts due and (iii) such other pertinent information related to the foregoing as any Borrower may reasonably request, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.  Any Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s determination of any such amount or amounts shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and substantially consistent with similarly situated customers of such Person under agreements having provisions similar to Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b), as applicable, after consideration of such factors as such Person then reasonably determines to be relevant.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the correct amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)          Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required
to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, delivers written notice to the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e)          Each Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall comply with Section 4.03(a).
SECTION 2.08          Several Liability; Agreement to Defer Exercise of Right of Contribution, Etc.
(a)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) the Borrower that requests such Letter of Credit or otherwise is the applicant therefor and shall be the “Requesting Borrower” and all Borrowers other than the Requesting Borrower shall be the “Other Borrowers”, (b) the Requesting Borrower shall be severally (and not jointly) liable under this Agreement for the reimbursement, cash collateral and other obligations (including fees and interest) associated with such Letter of
-57-

Credit, and (c) no Other Borrower shall be a co-debtor with the Requesting Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit or be in any way primarily liable under this Agreement for such Letter of Credit or the reimbursement, cash collateral or other obligations (including fees and interest) associated with such Letter of Credit; provided that the forgoing limitations shall not affect (i) any obligations of any such Other Borrower with respect to any other Letters of Credit (and the related reimbursement and other obligations with respect thereto) for which it is a “Requesting Borrower” or (ii) any obligations of any such Other Borrower under the Affiliate Guaranty.
(b)          Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Borrower (a “Paying Borrower”) hereunder, or any setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security furnished by, or of any credits or claims against, such Paying Borrower, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower will not assert or exercise any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or of its own, against any other Borrower to recover the amount of any such payment, setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether by way of assertion of any claim, or exercise of any remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, participation or otherwise, and whether arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower shall not have any right to exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the other Borrowers for such amounts, in each case unless and until all of the Obligations of the Borrowers have been fully and finally satisfied.  If any amount shall be paid to a Paying Borrower by any other Borrower after payment in full of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and the Administrative Agent or any Lender is forced to repay to any Borrower any sums received in payment of the Obligations, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be automatically pro tanto reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust by the payee thereof for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
SECTION 2.09          Determination of Exchange Rates; Cash Collateralization as a Result of Currency Fluctuations.
(a)          The Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rates (in accordance with the definition thereof) as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts in respect of the amounts available for drawing under outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies.  Such Exchange Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable Alternative Currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.
(b)          If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates (which shall be calculated in accordance with the definition thereof by the Administrative Agent on each Revaluation Date) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers in writing that the Total LC Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers shall, within two Business Days following receipt of such notice, deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to the remaining excess after giving effect to such prepayment.

SECTION 2.10          Defaulting Lenders.
(a)          Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)          facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a);
(ii)          the Commitment and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.01); provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01 for which such Defaulting Lender’s consent is expressly required;
(iii)          if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(A)          all or any part of LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be automatically reallocated (effective as of the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, but only to the extent that (x) each non-Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender, (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (z) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B)          if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days following the Borrowers’ receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(k)(i) (and the cash so deposited shall be held, invested and applied by such Issuing Bank in a manner consistent with the
investment and other procedures described in Section 3.01(k)) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(C)          if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(D)          if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the Letter of Credit participation fees payable to
-59-

the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such reallocation; and
(E)          if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.04(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and all Letter of Credit participation fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank, until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above; and
(iv)          so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(iii)(B), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(a)(iii)(A) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);
(b)          The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.10 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Issuing Bank, Borrower or any other Obligor may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.
(c)          In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment.
SECTION 2.11          Increase in Commitments.
(a)          Borrowers’ Request. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent, and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, elect to request at any time and from time to time (but not more than twice in any calendar year) prior to the Maturity Date an increase to the aggregate Commitments (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase”, and each additional commitment provided pursuant to a Commitment Increase, an “Incremental Commitment”); provided that the aggregate amount of (x) all Incremental Commitments provided after the Effective Date under this Agreement shall not exceed $25,000,000 (such amount, the “Incremental Commitment Cap”).

Each Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that the amount of a Commitment Increase may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the Incremental Commitment Cap).
(b)          Conditions. Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on the proposed effective date set forth in the Borrowers’ request for a Commitment Increase or such later date as the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers agree (the “Increase Effective Date”), which in any event shall be on or after the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received:
(i)          an Additional Lender Supplement for each Additional Lender participating in such Commitment Increase and an Increasing Lender Supplement for each Increasing Lender participating in such Commitment Increase, in each case duly executed by all parties thereto;
(ii)          such documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrowers to request Letters of Credit hereunder after giving effect to such Commitment Increase as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

(vi)          other customary closing certificates and documentation (similar to the documentation required to be delivered on the Effective Date under Section 5.01, to the extent applicable) relating to such Commitment Increase as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
(c)          Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty Agreements.
SECTION 2.12          Activity Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall deliver a weekly report in the form of Exhibit O or any other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each week indicating the number of Letters of Credit issued or amended (including the face amount thereof) on each day during the prior week by such Issuing Bank.
ARTICLE III
LETTERS OF CREDIT
SECTION 3.01          Letters of Credit.
(a)          General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request that any Issuing Bank issue bid, performance or other Letters of Credit (in each case other than Financial Standby Letters of Credit), denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, for the account of such Borrower or, subject to Section 3.01(m), a Restricted Subsidiary of such Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period applicable to Lenders.  At the applicable Issuing Bank’s discretion, Letters of Credit may be issued subject to: (i) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, Publication No. 600, (ii) International Standby Practices 1998, (iii) the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, or (iv) any successor provisions of (i) to (iii). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit or bank guarantee application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  Nothing contained
-62-

in this Article III is intended to limit or restrict the rights of any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to obtain letters of credit otherwise permitted by this Agreement from any Person, regardless of whether such Person is a party hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Barclays nor Morgan Stanley, as Issuing Bank, shall be required to issue any Commercial Letters of Credit and (b) Morgan Stanley will not be required to issue any bank guarantees.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) from the Effective Date through the 60th day after the Effective Date, no more than 300 (or such greater number as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement (including Existing Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 3.01(n)) may be outstanding at any time, and (B) from and after the 61st day after the Effective Date, no more than 500 (or such greater number as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement (including Existing Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 3.01(n)) may be outstanding at any time.
(b)          Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank), a Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile or email (or transmit by other electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to such Issuing Bank with a copy to the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the Effective Date in the case of the Effective Date Letters of Credit, (ii) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date such Letter of Credit (other than an Effective Date Letter of Credit) is to be issued and (iii) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of any amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.01(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit or bank guarantee application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended by an Issuing Bank only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Total LC Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the portion of the Total LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank will not, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree in accordance with Section 3.01(j), exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank, provided that the Borrowers shall not reduce the Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not be satisfied. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Obligor, before 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue, amend, renew or extend, as applicable, such Letter of Credit.
-63-

(c)          Legal and Policy Prohibitions.  An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i)          any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or
(ii)          the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(d)          Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire on or prior to the date (the “LC Expiration Date”) that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.01(k), any Borrower may request that an Issuing Bank issue on or prior to the Stated Cash Collateralization Date a Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is beyond the LC Expiration Date (including as a result of an automatic renewal of a Letter of Credit for an additional period that would end after the LC Expiration Date) but in no event later than the one-year anniversary of the Maturity Date (each such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Expiration Letter of Credit”), and such Issuing Bank may in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, agree to issue such Extended Expiration Letter of Credit (it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Extended Expiration Letter of Credit).  No Extended Expiration Letter of Credit may be issued after the Stated Cash Collateralization Date.
(e)          Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent amount of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 3.01(f), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
-64-

(f)          Reimbursement.  If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit or that is otherwise an applicant for such Letter of Credit shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that the Borrowers receive such notice.  If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due and no other Borrower makes such payment, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent who shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the manner set forth in the immediately following sentence.  Each Lender shall make each such payment to be made by it on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date such notice was given).  Promptly following receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Issuing Bank shall distribute such payment to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, to such Lenders as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(g)          Obligations Absolute.  The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 3.01(f) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, excluding payments by such Issuing Bank with respect to drafts or other documents that do not comply on their face with the express terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from

liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  Notwithstanding anything herein and without limiting the generality of the foregoing thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(h)          Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of Letter of Credit, following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.  After such examination such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronically) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or shall make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(i)          Interim Interest.  If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by a Borrower in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such LC Disbursement is reimbursed, at the then applicable Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.01(f), then Section 2.05(a) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(j)          Modification and Termination of LC Commitments of Issuing Banks.
(i)          The LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank may be terminated at any time by written notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such decision.  From and after the effective date of any such termination, the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment was terminated shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination (and shall continue to be an “Issuing Bank” for purposes of this Agreement), but it shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit hereunder.  Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ written
-66-

notice of termination, the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 2.01 to remove such Issuing Bank as an Issuing Bank from Schedule 2.01.
(ii)          By written notice to the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank may from time to time request that such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment be increased, decreased or terminated.  Within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall provide such Issuing Bank with notice of their acceptance or rejection of such modification or termination, and if the Borrowers accept such modification or termination, the Borrowers shall also provide a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent.  With respect to a termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment, from and after the effective date of such termination, such Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such modification or termination (and shall continue to be an “Issuing Bank” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit hereunder.
(k)          Cash Collateralization.
(i)          If:
(A)          any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the Total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph;
(B)          on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments;
(C)          the Borrowers are required to cash collateralize LC Exposure pursuant to (I) Section 2.03 or (II) Section 2.10; or
(D)          any Extended Expiration Letters of Credit are issued and outstanding on the Stated Cash Collateralization Date;
then the Borrowers shall deposit in an account maintained with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to (x) in the case of clause (A) immediately above, (1) 105% of the Total LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit that are denominated in an Alternative Currency and (2) 103% of the Total LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit that are denominated in U.S. Dollars as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation of the Borrower that requested, or is otherwise an applicant with respect to, such Letter of Credit to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Section 9.01, (y) in the case of clause (C) immediately above, an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.03 or 2.10, as the case may be, and (z) in the case
-67-

of clause (C) immediately above, 103% of the Total LC Exposure with respect to any Extended Expiration Letters of Credit on the Stated Cash Collateralization Date that are denominated in Dollars and 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Total LC Exposure with respect to any Extended Expiration Letters of Credit on the Stated Cash Collateralization Date that are denominated in Alternative Currencies.  Any such deposits pursuant to this Section 3.01(k)(i) or such other provisions under this Agreement where cash collateralization is required shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Borrowers’ reimbursement and other obligations in respect of Letters of Credit under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account, and each Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to pay interest on the investment of such deposits, but the Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits at the written direction of the Borrowers, which investments shall be made at the Borrowers’ risk and expense.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account.  Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements made by the Issuing Banks for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01(f) or, if the scheduled maturity date of the Obligations has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.  If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral (1) as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(k)(i)) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, (2) pursuant to Section 2.03 and the Total LC Exposure is subsequently reduced to an amount less than the Aggregate Commitments, such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(k)(i)) or a portion thereof shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers to the extent, and within three Business Days after determining, that the amount of the Total LC Exposure is less than the amount of the Aggregate Commitments or (3) as a result of any Extended Expiration Letters of Credit, such amount (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(k)(i)) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after each such Extended Expiration Letter of Credit has expired or terminated without any pending draw under such Extended Expiration Letter of Credit.
(ii)          The obligations of each of the Borrowers and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regarding Letters of Credit, including obligations under this Section 3.01, shall survive after the Maturity Date and termination of this Agreement for so long as any LC Exposure exists (whether or not all or any portion of such LC Exposure has been cash collateralized as described in Section 3.01(k)); provided that with respect to Extended Expiration Letters of Credit, only the Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Banks’ obligations (and not those of any other Lender) shall so survive.
(iii)          For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender confirms that its respective obligations (x) under Section 3.01(e) and (y) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be
-68-

reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any cash collateral pursuant to this Section 3.01(k) in respect of such Letters of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in the case of any event with respect to any Borrower described in or Section 9.01(i) or Section 9.01(j) or otherwise.
(l)          Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.  From time to time, the Borrowers may by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and with the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such Issuing Bank Agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank.
(m)          Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Restricted Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, or states that a Restricted Subsidiary is the “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party”, or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, (i) the applicable Borrower requesting, or otherwise an applicant with respect to, a Letter of Credit, shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of a Borrower and (ii) each Borrower irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit.  Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Restricted Subsidiaries.
(n)          Existing Letters of Credit.  Simultaneously with the occurrence of the Effective Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued under this Agreement (and shall comprise Letters of Credit under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and with respect to each such Existing Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower specified on Schedule 3.01 with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the applicant (or where no Borrower is specified on either Schedule 3.01 or any schedule to Amendment No. 1, all Borrowers shall be deemed to be the applicant thereof), and shall have the reimbursement obligations provided in Section 3.01(f), with respect thereto.  Existing Letters of Credit shall be subject to all provisions contained herein (including, without limitation, Section 3.01(e), Section 3.01(f) and Section 3.01(g)) and be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents.  No Existing Letters of Credit issued by Standard Chartered Bank (or any of its Affiliates) (x) may be amended or modified without the approval of such Person, which approval
-69-

may be given in its sole discretion and (y) shall be renewed or extended upon the expiration thereof in effect on the Effective Date.
(o)          Minimum Denominations.  Letters of Credit (other than Existing Letters of Credit) hereunder shall be issued in minimum face amounts of $25,000 (or if denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar equivalent of $25,000).
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; TAXES
SECTION 4.01          Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)          Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (including fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.07, 2.08 or 4.02, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., 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 60 Wall Street, New York, New York; provided that (i) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein shall be made directly to such Issuing Bank, as applicable, and (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.08, 4.02 and 11.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the 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 in respect of any Obligation (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of thereof) shall be made in Dollars; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.  Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the issuance of any Letter of Credit in any Alternative Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Letter of Credit was issued (herein, the “original currency”) no longer exists or for any reason the relevant Borrower is not able to make payment to the Issuing Bank in such original currency, or the terms of this Agreement require the conversion of such Letter of Credit or the related Letter of Credit Exposure into Dollars (including as required by Sections 3.01(c) and 3.01(e)), then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or conversion, and each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any Letter of Credit
-70-

denominated in an Alternative Currency that is not repaid to the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the original currency.
(b)          If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of 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, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any Obligation or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its participations in LC Disbursements and accrued fees thereon (excluding any fees payable to such Lender in its role as an Issuing Bank) than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in LC Disbursements 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 participations in LC Disbursements; 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 a 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 LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  Each 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 such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower shall not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if a Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
-71-

(e)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.01(e), Section 3.01(f), Section 4.01(d) or Section 11.04(a), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
SECTION 4.02          Taxes/Additional Payments.
(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold 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, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)          The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any penalties, interest and expenses that result from the failure of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank to notify the Borrowers of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
(c)          Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is organized, tax resident or otherwise located, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, on the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or Administrative Agent), shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (or otherwise reasonably requested by such Borrower)
-72-

as shall permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, that with respect to any documentation required under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction other than Bermuda, Germany, Ireland or Switzerland, the execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgement such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(d)          If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes paid by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.02, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay promptly the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such amount) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d), the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(e)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption by which it becomes a party to this Agreement (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), 9.01(h) or Section 9.01(i) has occurred and is continuing on the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption) (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, as if each Borrower were incorporated under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and (ii)  any other governmental forms (including tax residency certificates) which are necessary or required under an applicable Tax treaty or otherwise by law to eliminate any withholding Tax or which have been reasonably requested by the Borrowers.  Each Lender which delivers to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‑8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of a change in circumstance or of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case
-73-

certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, unless a Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income Taxes.  If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)          Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).
(g)          The Borrowers will remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority, prior to delinquency, all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes required to be remitted by a Borrower in respect of any payment.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the applicable Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or such other evidence thereof as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(h)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 2.05(d) and this Section 4.02), a Swiss Obligor shall not be required to make a tax gross up, a tax indemnity payment or an increased interest payment under any Loan Document to a specific Lender or Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall remain required to make a tax gross up, a tax indemnity payment, or an increased interest payment to all other Lenders) in respect
-74-

of Swiss Withholding Tax due on interest payments by a Swiss Obligor under this Agreement as a direct result of such Lender or Participant (i) making an incorrect declaration of its status as to whether or not it is a Swiss Qualifying Lender or a single Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender, (ii) breaching the restrictions regarding transfers, assignments, participations, sub-participation and exposure transfers set forth in Section 11.05 (provided, however, that if a Specified Event of Default occurs within 90 days following any such transfer, assignment, participation or sub-participation, the Swiss Obligors shall be required to make such tax gross up, tax indemnity payment or increased interest payment) or (iii) ceasing to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.
(i)          VAT.
(i)          All amounts set out or expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to any Lender or Administrative Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Administrative Agent to any party under a Loan Document and such Lender or Administrative Agent is required to account to the relevant Governmental Authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply subject to receipt of a valid VAT invoice), an amount equal to the amount of such VAT.
(ii)          If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Administrative Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender or Administrative Agent (the “Supply Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Supply Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of a Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Supply Recipient in respect of that consideration), then:
(A)          where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant Governmental Authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of VAT; the Supply Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Supply Recipient receives from the relevant Governmental Authority which the Supply Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
(B)          where the Supply Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant Governmental Authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Supply Recipient, pay to the Supply Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Supply Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant Governmental Authority in respect of all or part of that VAT.

(iii)          Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender or Administrative Agent for any cost or expense, the party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender or Administrative Agent for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender or Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant Governmental Authority.
(iv)          Any reference in this Section 4.02(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as defined and provided for in Article 11 of the EC Council Directive 2006/112 (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be) or any national legislation implementing that Directive.
(v)          In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Administrative Agent to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Administrative Agent, that party must promptly provide such Lender or Administrative Agent with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(vi)          Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.02(i) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
SECTION 4.03          Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)          If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.07 or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Letters of Credit hereunder or 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07 or 4.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
-76-

(b)          If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.07 (including for Taxes under Section 2.07(a)(iii)), or (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.02, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender becomes a Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender (but only if such event causes a breach of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules), or (v) any Lender fails to provide its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction (other than England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, or Switzerland) outside of the United States, or (vi) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their 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 11.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and, if such assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent, which consent of the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to its participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.07 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.02, such assignment shall 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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and such Lender neither received nor continued to claim any such compensation or payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment and delegation of its interests, rights and obligations to any proposed assignee pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) if it does not execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after having received a written request therefor.
SECTION 4.04          Financial Assistance.
(a)          If and to the extent a Swiss Obligor becomes liable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document for obligations of any other Obligor (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Swiss Obligor) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and if complying with such obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Obligor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, such Swiss Obligor’s aggregate liability for Restricted Obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Swiss Obligor’s freely disposable equity (frei verfügbares Eigenkapital) at the time it becomes liable including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves, in accordance with Swiss law (the “Freely Disposable Amount”).
-77-

(b)          This limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Obligor is required to perform Restricted Obligations under the Loan Documents.  Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Obligor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when the Swiss Obligor has again freely disposable equity.  The limitation set out in this Section shall not apply to the extent the Swiss Obligor guarantees or otherwise secures any amounts borrowed under any Loan Document which are on-lent to the Swiss Obligor or to wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Swiss Obligor.
(c)          If the enforcement of the obligations of the Swiss Obligor under the Loan Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Agreement, the Swiss Obligor shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Administrative Agent, (i) write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Obligor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and (ii) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law, provided that such steps are permitted under the Loan Documents.
(d)          The Swiss Obligor and any direct holding company of the Swiss Obligor which is a party to a Loan Document shall procure that the Swiss Obligor will take and will cause to be taken all and any action as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 Business Days from the request of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, (i) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, (iii) the provision of a determination by the Swiss Obligor of the Freely Disposable Amount based on such audited interim balance sheet, (iv) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors of the Swiss Obligor that a payment of the Swiss Obligor under the Loan Documents in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, and (v) the obtaining of any other confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time the Swiss Obligor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in order to allow a prompt payment in relation to Restricted Obligations with a minimum of limitations.
(e)          If so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time it is required to make a payment under this Agreement, the Swiss Obligor:
(i)          shall use its best efforts to ensure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;
(ii)          shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure pursuant to clause (a) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to clause (a) applies for a part of the Swiss withholding tax only; and shall pay
-78-

within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iii)          shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Administrative Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
(f)          In the case of a deduction of Swiss withholding tax, the Swiss Obligor shall use its best efforts to ensure that any person that is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:
(i)          request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under applicable law (including tax treaties), and
(ii)          pay to the Administrative Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(g)          The Administrative Agent shall co-operate with the Swiss Obligor to secure such refund.
(h)          To the extent the Swiss Obligor is required to deduct Swiss withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement, and if the Freely Disposable Amount is not fully utilized, the Swiss Obligor will be required to pay an additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss withholding tax the aggregate net amount paid to the Administrative Agent is equal to the amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss withholding tax had been required, provided that (i) the aggregate amount paid (including the additional amount) shall in any event be limited to the Freely Disposable Amount, (ii) such gross up is permitted under the applicable law, and (iii) such steps are permitted under the Loan Documents.  If a refund is made to a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall transfer the refund so received to the Swiss Obligor, subject to any right of set-off of such Credit Party pursuant to the Loan Documents.
SECTION 4.05          UK Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided under this Agreement by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of England and Wales does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in such guarantee, indemnity or other obligation hereunder constituting unlawful financial assistance  within the meaning of section 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of England and Wales.

(b)          If, in the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(e), Parent identifies any Material Specified Subsidiary that is organized in a jurisdiction that is not a then-existing Specified Jurisdiction or an Excluded Jurisdiction, then the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to designate such jurisdiction as a Specified Jurisdiction by providing written notice of such designation to Parent, which designation shall be deemed to take effect on the Business Day such designation is made.
(c)          As promptly as possible but in any event within 45 days (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) after any Person becomes an Obligor pursuant

-100-

Material Real Property, the Effective Date Real Property) to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) may waive the requirement contained in this Section 7.08(e) with respect to any parcel of Material Real Property if, as a result of flood, environmental or other due diligence conducted with respect to such Material Real Property, the Administrative Agent determines (in consultation with the Lenders) that the cost of, or risk associated with, obtaining a Mortgage with respect to such Material Real Property is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security to be afforded thereby, provided that no Material Real Property shall be taken as Collateral unless Lenders receive 45 days advance notice and each Lender confirms to Agent that it has completed all flood due diligence, received copies of all flood insurance documentation and confirmed flood insurance compliance as required by the Flood Laws or as otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

(j)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including this Section 7.08) or in any other Loan Document, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not accept delivery of any Mortgage from any Obligor unless each of the Lenders has received 45 days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent has received confirmation from each Lender that such Lender has completed its flood insurance diligence, has received copies of all flood insurance documentation and has confirmed that flood insurance compliance has been completed as required by the Flood Laws or as otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Lender and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not accept delivery of any joinder to any Loan Document with respect to any Surviving Person that is the New Weatherford Parent, or Subsidiary of any Obligor, if such Surviving Person or Subsidiary qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation unless such Surviving Person or Subsidiary has delivered a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Surviving Person or Subsidiary and Administrative Agent has completed its Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for such Surviving Person or Subsidiary, the results of which shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that any delays with respect to the delivery, execution or effectiveness of any Loan Document or other deliverable caused by clauses (x) and (y) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

(a)          Each Swiss Obligor shall comply with the Swiss Non-Bank Rules; provided, however, that a Swiss Obligor shall not be in breach of this covenant if the permitted number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders is exceeded solely by reason of:

(ii)          a confirmation made by one or more Lenders or Participants to be one single Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender is incorrect;
(iii)          one or more Lenders or Participants ceasing to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender (to the extent such Lender or Participant is confirmed to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender) as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(iii)          require the Borrowers deposit in the LC Collateral Account an additional amount in cash equal to (a) 103% of the Total LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars plus (b) 105% of the Dollar Equivalent Total LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies in accordance with Section 3.01(k).

-121-

Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Obligor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released by the Borrowers and Parent on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries.  The Borrowers and Parent further agree on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the premises of the Borrowers, another Obligor or elsewhere.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this section, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Obligor.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers and Parent, on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, waive all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
SECTION 9.02          Right of Setoff.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each Issuing Bank are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Obligor (any such notice being expressly waived by each Obligor), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding the funds held in accounts clearly designated as escrow or trust accounts held by any Obligor for the benefit of Persons which are not Affiliates of any Obligor), whether or not such setoff results in any loss of interest or other penalty, and including all certificates of deposit, at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any of their respective branches or Affiliates, as applicable, to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Should the right of any Lender or Issuing Bank to realize funds in any manner set forth above be challenged and any application of such funds be reversed, whether by court order or otherwise, the Lenders shall make restitution or refund to the applicable Obligor, as the case may be, pro rata in accordance with their Commitments; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and/or cash collateralization pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of each Credit Party and each Obligor as herein provided, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such
-122-

Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agree to promptly notify the applicable Obligor and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks may have.  This Section is subject to the terms and provisions of Section 4.01(c).
SECTION 9.03          Other Remedies.  No remedy conferred herein or in any of the other Loan Documents is to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder and under the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 9.04          Application of Moneys During Continuation of Event of Default.
(a)          So long as an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Lenders shall continue, all moneys received by the Administrative Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent (as applicable) from any Obligor under the Loan Documents shall, except as otherwise required by law, be distributed by the Administrative Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent (as applicable) on the dates selected by the Administrative Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent (as applicable) as follows:
first, to payment of the unreimbursed expenses of the Administrative Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent (as applicable) to be reimbursed under the Loan Documents, or pursuant to Section 11.03 and to any unpaid fees owing under the Loan Documents by the Obligors to the Administrative Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent (as applicable) including under Section 11.04;

fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations, until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full; and
finally, to payment to the Obligors, or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
-123-

(b)          The term “unpaid” as used in this Section 9.04 shall mean all relevant Secured Obligations outstanding as of any such distribution date as to which prior distributions have not been made, after giving effect to any adjustments which are made pursuant to Section 9.02 of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified.

delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Affiliate’s behalf.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)          The bank 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 bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(c)          In relation to Collateral which is subject to a Swiss Security Document, the Administrative Agent has caused the ABL Administrative Agent to, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement:

-124-

(d)          Each Secured Party has appointed the ABL Administrative Agent as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and authorized the ABL Administrative Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to:
(i)          exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the ABL Administrative Agent under the relevant Swiss Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii)          take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in  accordance with the relevant Swiss Security Documents; and
(iii)          accept, enter into and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of such Secured Party in connection with the Loan Documents under Swiss law and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Swiss Security Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral, all subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 (e)          With effect as of the resignation of the ABL Administrative Agent as Original Foreign Collateral Agent and in relation to Collateral which is subject to a Swiss Security Document, the Administrative Agent shall cause the Foreign Collateral Agent to, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement:
(i)          hold and administer any non-accessory Collateral (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and
(ii)          hold and administer any accessory Collateral (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties.
(f)          With effect as of the resignation of the ABL Administrative Agent as Original Foreign Collateral Agent, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Foreign Collateral Agent as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and authorizes the Foreign Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to:
(i)          exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Foreign Collateral Agent under the relevant Swiss Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii)          take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in  accordance with the relevant Swiss Security Documents; and
-125-

(iii)          accept, enter into and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of such Secured Party in connection with the Loan Documents under Swiss law and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Swiss Security Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral, all subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
SECTION 10.02          Liability of Agents.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  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 or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (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 and by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01), 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 any of the Obligors or any of their 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 such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (v) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (w) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (x) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (y) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than those conditions requiring delivery of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.03          Reliance by Agents.  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 in good faith 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 and believed in good faith 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 any Borrower), independent accountants and
-126-

other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, in each case in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 10.04          Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or, as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion, through any one or more sub-agents identified by the Lenders and appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to documentation in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  The Lenders will exercise reasonable care in identifying any such sub-agent, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission of any such sub-agent.  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 shall provide a copy of any notice of Default or Event of Default provided to the Borrowers under Section 9.02 to each sub-agent.
SECTION 10.05          Successor Agents.
(a)          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph and the second succeeding paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers.  Upon any resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.
(b)          In addition, in the event that (i) the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Lender pursuant to Section 4.03(b), and (iii) if such Person is an Issuing Bank, (A) the LC Commitment of such Person, as an Issuing Bank, has been terminated pursuant to Section 3.01(j) and (B) no Letters of Credit issued by such Person, as an Issuing Bank, are outstanding at such time (unless arrangements satisfactory to such Person for the cash collateralization thereof have been made), then the Required Lenders or the Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove such Person from its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that a successor Administrative Agent selected by the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrowers, shall be appointed concurrently with such removal.
(c)          Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
-127-

to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.03 and 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.06          Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extension of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and 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 as a Lender, and issue Commitments hereunder.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) 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, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.08          No Joint Venture.  The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.  The Administrative
Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of any Obligations after the date such Obligation has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.09          Secured Party.  In its capacity, the Administrative Agent, and, as applicable, any sub-agent thereof is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC.  Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any sub-agent thereof to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents.  Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any sub-agent thereof) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any such sub-agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents.  In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any such sub-agent is hereby authorized, and hereby

granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any such sub-agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided that, with respect to any Collateral Documents governed by the laws of the Netherlands, the Administrative Agent shall act in its own name and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but not as representative of the Secured Parties; provided further that, with respect to any Collateral Documents governed by the laws of Australia, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall not act in its own name or for the benefit of the Secured Parties nor as representative of the Secured Parties but rather through a sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.04; provided further that, with respect to any jurisdiction in which Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is not able under applicable law or regulations to perform any of its duties as Administrative Agent or exercise its rights or powers as Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall not be required to act in its own name or for the benefit of the Secured Parties nor as Administrative Agent or representative of the Secured Parties.  The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion and, if so authorized by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, as applicable, any sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.04, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or, as applicable, any such sub-agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.23; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority or, as applicable, the authority of any sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.04 to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto.  Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and promptly upon receipt of a written request by any Obligor Party to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and, if so authorized by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, as applicable, any sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.04 shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent or, as applicable, any such sub-agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any such sub-agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent or, as applicable, any such sub-agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Parent or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by Parent or any Subsidiary, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent or, as applicable, any sub-agent thereof of documents in connection with any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, any such sub-agent.

SECTION 10.10          Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Obligor under any federal, state or foreign
-129-

bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, administration, examinership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.07, 4.02, 11.03 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, administrator, examiner, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Sections 11.03 and 11.04).
SECTION 10.11          Foreign Collateral Matters.  (a) For the purposes of any grant of security under the laws of the Province of Quebec which may in the future be required to be provided by any Obligor, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the Lenders to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties).  Any Person who becomes a Lender or successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Lenders, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Lender.  For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.  In the event of the resignation of the Administrative Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.
(b)          The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and agree with the creation of Parallel Debt obligations as provided for in Section 13 of the Affiliate Guaranty.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Obligors, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, any resignation by the
-130-

Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debts until such rights and obligations are assigned to the successor agent. The resigning Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the Parallel Debts to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands to such successor agent.
(c)          Scottish Appointment Matters.

(i)          The Administrative Agent declares that it holds in trust for the Secured Parties, on the terms contained in this Article X: (A) the Collateral expressed to be subject to the Liens created in favor of the Administrative Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties by or pursuant to each Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland, and all proceeds of that Collateral; (B) all obligations expressed to be undertaken by any Obligor to pay amounts in respect of the Obligations to the Administrative Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties and secured by any Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland together with all representations and warranties expressed to be given by any Obligor or any other Person in favor of the Administrative Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties; and (C) any other amounts or property, whether rights, entitlements, choses in action or otherwise, actual or contingent, which the Administrative Agent is required by the terms of the Loan Documents to hold as trustee in trust for the Secured Parties.

(ii)          Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article X, each of the Lenders, and by their acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, the other holders of Secured Obligations, and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretion specifically given to the Administrative Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Secured Parties shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 10.12          Credit Bid.
(a)          The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other applicable jurisdictions (including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) of Australia), or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured
-131-

Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.
(b)          Without limiting the authority granted to the Administrative Agent in this Article X, each Lender (including each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 11.05) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 10.14          Intercreditor Agreement.  The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them.  Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof.  The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 10.15          Filings.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Agreement, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any liens securing the Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrowers.
SECTION 10.16          Force Majeure.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).
SECTION 10.17          No Risk of Funds.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
SECTION 10.18          No Discretion.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents or any agreement to which the Lenders and the Administrative Agent is a party and acting in accordance with such documents (such Lenders being referred to herein as the
-135-

Relevant Lenders”), as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.  Upon receipt of such written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Relevant Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall take such discretionary actions in accordance with such written instruction, advice or concurrence.  This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.
SECTION 10.19          Special, Consequential and Indirect Damages.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Administrative Agent will not be liable to any Person for any Environmental Law or any actions, suits, proceedings or claims, including any contribution actions, under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Administrative Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any presence, discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Administrative Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Administrative Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any Environmental Law or otherwise cause the Administrative Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any liability in connection with any Environmental Law or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Administrative Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Administrative Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if the Administrative Agent and Borrowers acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement and (ii) if the Administrative Agent and Borrowers acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of any Collateral Document, then the they shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to the applicable Collateral Document.

SECTION 11.04          Indemnity.
(a)          The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Joint Lead Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Affiliate of each of the foregoing, and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from, and hold each Indemnitee harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages, costs or related expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses including, to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and in the event of any actual or perceived conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, one additional counsel (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for each group of Indemnitees similarly situated that is subject to such conflict or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing) to which any Indemnitee may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages, costs or related expenses arise out of or result from (i) any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) relating to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document (whether or not such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower or any other Obligor or its or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto), including any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding in any way relating to the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or any Obligor, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by WIL-Bermuda, WIL-Delaware, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to WIL-Bermuda, WIL-Delaware, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries, except, in each case, insofar as the Environmental Liability or liability relating to the presence or release of Hazardous Materials arises out of conditions resulting from negligent actions taken by, or negligently not taken by, such Indemnitee after the date on which WIL-Bermuda, WIL-Delaware, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries is divested of ownership of such property (whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, as mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise), or (iii) any actual or proposed use by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the
-143-

proceeds of any extension of credit by any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder, and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse each Indemnitee upon demand for any expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses) incurred in connection with any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding; but excluding any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen or resulted from the (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee or (ii) a material breach of the funding obligations of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s affiliates or (B) have not resulted from an act or omission by the Secured Parties and have been brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claims against the Secured Parties in their respective capacities or in fulfilling their respective roles as an Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Issuing Bank or any similar role that might be undertaken in connection with this Agreement); provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Borrower’s payment obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender.  WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES, COSTS OR RELATED EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.  WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS SECTION 11.04 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE PAYMENT OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

(b)          To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under Section 11.03 or paragraph (a) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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 or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.
(c)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither any party hereto nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other such Person, 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 other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Letter of
-144-

Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (it being understood that, to the extent any Indemnitee suffers any such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, the indemnification obligations of the Borrowers set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section shall apply).
(d)          No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.04(a) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for any such damages found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct of such Indemnitee.
(e)          All amounts due under this Section 11.04 and under Section 11.03 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor and presentation of any documents required to be delivered in connection therewith.
SECTION 11.05          Successors and Assigns.
(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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Obligor 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.  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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)          (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 11.05 (including subparagraph (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 Commitment at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, additionally, in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 4.03, delayed or conditioned) of:
(A)          The Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment to a Lender (provided such Lender is a U.S. Qualifying Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender (provided such Affiliate is a U.S. Qualifying Lender), an Approved Fund  (provided such Approved Fund is a U.S. Qualifying Lender) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and
(B)          the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
-145-

of a Lender, an Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and
(C)          each Issuing Bank;
provided that any consent to an assignment required by the Borrowers under this Section 11.05(b)(i) shall be deemed to have been given by the Borrowers unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving a written request for its consent to such assignment.
(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 or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of WIL‑Bermuda and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(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 Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
(D)          the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Obligor Parties and their respective Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
(E)          except in connection with assignments made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all prospective assignees of a Lender shall be required, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, to execute and deliver the forms required under Section 4.02(c) and Section 4.02(e) for any Lender, and no assignment shall be effective in connection herewith unless and until such forms are so delivered;
-146-

(F)          except in the case when no consent of the Borrowers is required because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment shall be made to any such assignee unless such assignee is a U.S. Qualifying Lender;
(G)          no assignment shall be made to an Ineligible Institution; and
(H)          the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Parent and the Administrative Agent an Assignee Certificate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.05 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, the consent of each Borrower and of Parent shall, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be required for an assignment or participation to any assignee or Participant that is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender; provided, however, that such a consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and in any event, such consent shall be deemed given if any Borrower or Parent, as applicable, does not give its written decision within 10 Business Days after a request for such consent from the Administrative Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, if any Borrower or Parent determines in its reasonable discretion that any assignment or participation would result in noncompliance with the Swiss Non-Bank Rules and/or that the number of Lenders and Participants under this Agreement that are Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders would exceed the number of ten, then such Borrower’s or Parent’s objection to such assignment or participation shall be deemed to be reasonable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary but subject to Section 11.05(b)(ii)(E) and (F) above, Barclays Bank PLC may assign its Commitments hereunder to Barclays Bank Ireland PLC.
For purposes of this Section 11.05, the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:
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 of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) Parent any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, with respect to clause (d), such company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; provided, further, that with respect to clause (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Person (other than a Lender) shall be an Ineligible Institution if after giving effect to any proposed assignment to such Person, such
-147-

Person would hold more than 25% of the then outstanding Commitments, as the case may be.
(iii)          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subparagraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning 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 2.07, 4.02, 11.03 and 11.04).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)          The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest and fee amounts owing) of the LC Disbursements owing by each Borrower to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be presumed correct, in the absence of manifest error, and the Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 Obligors, any Issuing Bank 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 Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee permitted under paragraph (b) of this Section, such assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such 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 Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or such assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or (f), 4.01(d) or 11.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.  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)          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may, without the consent of any Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any
-148-

Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than an Ineligible Institution (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment); 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, (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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, (D) such Participant delivers a Participant Certificate to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, and WIL Ireland and (E) such Participant is a U.S. Qualifying Lender.  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 11.01(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to subparagraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07 and 4.02 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.02 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(b), and to deliver the forms required by Section 4.02(c), 4.02(e) and 4.02(h) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest the Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than the Borrowers except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitments or Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Provided the requirements of this Section 11.05 (including, but not limited to, Section 11.05(c)(ii)), are satisfied, the entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(ii)          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.07 and 4.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (ii) the sale of the participation to such Participant
-149-

is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent.  The Borrowers shall be notified of each participation sold to a Participant, and each Participant shall comply with Sections 4.02(c), 4.02(d), 4.02(e), 4.02(h), and 4.03 as though it were a Lender.  A Participant that fails to comply with the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of Section 4.02.

(i)          if the ABL Collateral Agent desires to permit debtor-in-possession financing (“DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws), then the LC Collateral Agent and the LC Secured Parties hereby agree to consent to and not to object to any such financing or to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, unless the ABL Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such ABL Priority Collateral for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, each LC Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the ABL Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any ABL Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and to any “carve out” for the payment of professional fees, clerk fees, and United States trustee fees (or any other administration charge, directors’ and officers’ charge or similar court-ordered priority charge under applicable Debtor Relief Laws) and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such ABL Priority Collateral granted to secure the ABL Obligations of the ABL Secured Parties, each LC Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral as set forth herein, in each case so long as (A) the LC Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such ABL Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding (other than any Liens constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and/or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the LC Secured Parties are granted junior Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any ABL Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the ABL Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any ABL Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the LC Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien (i) to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral that shall not constitute ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) in respect of any additional Collateral that would not constitute ABL Priority Collateral hereunder were it pledged for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties pursuant to the ABL Security Documents to any ABL Secured Party as adequate protection, for use of cash collateral, or otherwise, as set forth in clause (B) above; and
(ii)          if the LC Collateral Agent desires to permit a DIP Financing secured by a Lien on LC Priority Collateral, to be provided by DIP Lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws)  or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws), then the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties hereby agree not to object to any such financing or to the DIP Financing Liens or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral, unless the LC Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties, each ABL Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such LC Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the LC Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any ABL Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and to any “carve out” for the payment of professional fees, clerk fees, and United States trustee fees (or any other administration charge, directors’ and officers’ charge or similar court-ordered priority charge under applicable Debtor Relief Laws), and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral granted to secure the LC Obligations of the LC Secured Parties, each ABL Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such LC Priority Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the ABL Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such LC Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding (other than any Liens constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and/or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the ABL Secured Parties are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any LC Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the LC Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and (D) if any LC Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the ABL Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien (i) to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral that shall not constitute LC Priority Collateral and (ii) in respect of any additional Collateral that would not constitute LC Priority Collateral hereunder were it pledged for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents to any LC Facility Secured Party as adequate protection, for use of cash collateral, or otherwise, as set forth in clause (B) above).
(iii)          No Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party will directly or indirectly propose or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior or prior to the Liens of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral.
(c)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will  not object to and will not otherwise contest: (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations made by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party; (ii) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Claims in any sale of Collateral that is Senior Secured Obligations Collateral with respect to such Senior Claims; (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral; (iv) and will consent to any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent action under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or disposition (or related order) of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral if such sale or other disposition is not free and clear of the Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations or (v) any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other equivalent provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other provision under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented, and the related court order provides that, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and the Junior Secured Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing such Obligations on the assets being sold, in accordance with this Agreement.
(d)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) with respect to Senior Secured Obligations Collateral without the prior consent of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, unless, and solely to the extent that, the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall obtain relief from the automatic stay (or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) with respect to such collateral to commence a lien enforcement action.
(e)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not, other than as set forth in Section 2.06(b), object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting): (i) any request by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for adequate protection; provided that (1) any ABL Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from ABL Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(i) or the proceeds thereof and (2) any LC Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from LC Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(ii)  or the proceeds thereof or (ii) any objection by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), on the same basis as the other Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (y) in the event the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agree that the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Secured Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (z) any adequate protection granted in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws)  (collectively, “Senior 507(b) Claims”) shall be senior to and have priority of payment over any superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws) in favor of any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party (collectively, “Junior 507(b) Claims”). The holders of the Junior 507(b) Claims agree that, in connection with any Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such Junior 507(b) Claims may be paid in any combination of cash, securities, or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such Junior 507(b) Claims as of the effective date of such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the ABL Secured Parties and LC Secured Parties, all Senior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Senior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class, and all Junior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Junior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class.
(f)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for allowance of Senior Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to such a claim shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.1(a).
(g)          The LC Collateral Agent, on behalf of the LC Secured Parties, and the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that the grants of Liens pursuant to the LC Security Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the LC Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and LC Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or the LC Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the ABL Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses that are available from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Claims with respect to such Collateral, with the holder of such Junior Claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries).
(h)          If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (or any form of Court-sanctioned restructuring permitted under any applicable law), both on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.  The provisions of section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding, Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall not propose, support or vote in favor of any Plan of Reorganization that would result in a modification of or otherwise be inconsistent with Sections 2.01, 2.02, and 2.06(h) of this Agreement.
(i)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), 2.04(a) and 2.06(b), (c) (e) and (f) or otherwise, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims, including, without limitation, the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against any Grantor in accordance with applicable law (including the Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction); provided that, the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may not take any of the actions that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, such actions prohibited by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.06(b), (c), (e) and (f); provided further, that in the event that any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Senior Secured Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07          Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the Senior Secured Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under any Debtor Relief Law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Senior Secured Obligations shall again have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
SECTION 2.08          Entry Upon Premises by the ABL Collateral Agent.
(a)          If the ABL Collateral Agent takes any enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the LC Secured Parties (i) shall cooperate with the ABL Collateral Agent (subject to the condition that the LC Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any unreimbursed liability or damage to the LC Secured Parties) in its efforts to enforce its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, including to finish any work-in-process and assemble the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) shall not take or direct the LC Collateral Agent (including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver or agent appointed by it) to take any action designed or intended to hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Collateral Agent (including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver or agent appointed by it) from enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, including finishing any work-in-process or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, and (iii) shall permit and direct the LC Collateral Agent, and each other LC Collateral Agent (including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver delegate or agent they may appoint) to permit the ABL Collateral Agent, and their respective employees, advisers and representatives (and including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver delegate or agent they may appoint), upon reasonable advance notice, to enter upon and use the LC Priority Collateral (including (x) equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files and (y) intellectual property) for a period not to exceed 180 days (except with respect to intellectual property, which use shall be permitted in accordance by Section 2.08(c)) after the taking of such enforcement action, for purposes (to the extent permitted under applicable law) of (A) assembling and storing the ABL Priority Collateral and completing the processing of and turning into finished goods of any ABL Priority Collateral consisting of work-in-process, (B) selling any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such LC Priority Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, (C) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such LC Priority Collateral, or (D) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure, and otherwise enforce the rights and remedies of the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent in and to and relating to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of a LC Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the applicable LC Secured Parties) from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any LC Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such 180-day period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section.  If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such 180-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order.  If the ABL Collateral Agent (including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver or agent appointed by it) conducts a public auction or private sale of the ABL Priority Collateral at any of the real property included within the LC Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to hold such auction or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt any LC Collateral Agent’s use of such real property for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties.
(b)          During the period of actual occupation, use or control by the ABL Secured Parties or their agents or representatives (including the ABL Collateral Agent to the extent acting on behalf of such parties and including any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver, delegate or agent they may appoint) of any LC Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties shall be obligated to (i) pay any rent, utilities or other costs and expenses necessary for LC Collateral Agent to access such LC Priority Collateral and (ii) repair at their expense any physical damage to such LC Priority Collateral or other assets or property resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such LC Priority Collateral or other assets or property in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Secured Parties have any liability to the LC Secured Parties pursuant to this Section as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the LC Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties of their rights under this Section, and the ABL Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the LC Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Secured Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the LC Priority Collateral that results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the LC Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 2.08 or the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. Without limiting the rights granted in this paragraph, the ABL Secured Parties shall cooperate with the LC Collateral Agent (subject to the condition that the ABL Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any unreimbursed liability or damage to the ABL Secured Parties) in connection with any efforts made by it to cause the LC Priority Collateral to be sold.
(c)          In addition, the LC Secured Parties and their respective Senior Representatives hereby grant to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties a non-exclusive worldwide license or right to use, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent of their interest therein, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, any of the LC Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property in connection with the liquidation, collection, disposition or other realization upon the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to any enforcement action by the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties; provided, however, such non-exclusive license shall immediately expire upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all such ABL Priority Collateral or upon the Discharge of the ABL Obligations and shall not extend or transfer to the purchaser of such ABL Priority Collateral (other than any rights to use such intellectual property as may exist in favor of any bona fide purchaser under applicable law). The ABL Collateral Agent’s use of such intellectual property shall be lawful, and any such license is granted on an “AS IS” basis, without any representation or warranty whatsoever. Furthermore, each LC Collateral Agent agrees that, in connection with any exercise of remedies available to any LC Collateral Agent in respect of LC Priority Collateral, such LC Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to any purchaser, assignee or transferee of intellectual property pursuant to such exercise of remedies, that the applicable intellectual property is subject to such license.
SECTION 2.09          Insurance.  Unless and until the ABL Obligations have been Discharged, as between the ABL Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the ABL Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the ABL Priority Collateral.  Unless and until the LC Obligations have been Discharged, as between the ABL Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the LC Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting LC Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding solely affecting the LC Priority Collateral.  To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes ABL Priority Collateral and LC Priority Collateral, then the ABL Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents and the LC Obligations Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.
SECTION 2.10          Refinancings.  Each of the ABL Obligations and the LC Obligations and the agreements governing them may be Refinanced, in each case without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any LC Obligations Document, as in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended in accordance with the terms hereof) of, any ABL Secured Party or any LC Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing (to the extent they are not already so bound) to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and such other Refinancing documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Applicable Senior Collateral Agent.  In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.10, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Parent, and without the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit such Refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any LC Obligations Document, and other than the consent of each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, whose consent shall still be required to the extent set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence) of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any LC Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any LC Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any ABL Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing.  Any such additional party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Parent that such modifications do not violate the ABL Documents or the LC Documents if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Parent and the Grantors have complied with their undertakings in any such document or this Agreement.  In connection with the delivery of a joinder as set forth above, the Parent shall deliver an officer’s certificate to each Collateral Agent certifying that the Refinancing, including the incurrence of indebtedness and the incurrence of liens in respect thereof, qualifies as a Refinancing as defined herein.
SECTION 2.11          Amendments to Security Documents.
(a)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, no LC Security Document to which such LC Collateral Agent or LC Secured Party is party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new LC Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the ABL Collateral Agent and other ABL Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the LC Collateral Agent and each LC Collateral Agent, no ABL Security Document to which the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties are party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new ABL Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(c)          In the event that any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, the Grantors thereunder (including the release of any Liens in the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Collateral Agent or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Collateral Agent, any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, the Parent or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties or the interests of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Collateral and not the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Parent to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent.
(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent and other ABL Secured Parties hereby agree that they will not amend or otherwise modify the provisions of the LC Documents or the ABL Documents related to the Refinancing or payment of any Obligations (including ordinary course payments) in a manner that makes them more restrictive to Grantors or otherwise prohibits or restricts a Refinancing or payment permitted under the LC Documents or ABL Documents as in effect on the date hereof. The LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties hereby agree that they will not amend or otherwise modify Section 8.09 of the LC Credit Agreement, the definition of “Liquidity,” any of the terms or definitions used to calculate compliance with Section 8.09 of the LC Credit Agreement, or the effect of any breach of Section 8.09 of the LC Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2.12          Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a)          Each Possessory Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for, or, as applicable, on trust for, the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents or the LC Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.  To the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered to) the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same.  Pending such delivery to the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable ABL Security Documents or LC Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.
(b)          The duties or responsibilities of each Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.12 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.
(c)          Upon the Discharge of all LC Obligations, the LC Collateral Agent shall deliver to the ABL Collateral Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the ABL Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.  No LC Collateral Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the ABL Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
(d)          Upon the Discharge of all ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver to the LC Collateral Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the LC Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.  The ABL Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow instructions from any LC Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.13          Control Agreements. The ABL Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as collateral agent of the LC Secured Parties under each control agreement solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien of the LC Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control.

The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to acting as agent for the benefit of each LC Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control, in each case prior to the Discharge of all ABL Obligations
SECTION 2.14          Rights under Permits and Licenses. The LC Collateral Agent agrees that if the ABL Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the LC Collateral Agent (as certified to the LC Collateral Agent by the ABL Collateral Agent, upon which the LC Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any ABL Priority Collateral, the LC Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the LC Documents, including the LC Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the ABL Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the ABL Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the LC Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties.  The ABL Collateral Agent agrees that if the LC Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the ABL Collateral Agent (as certified to the ABL Collateral Agent by the LC Collateral Agent, upon which the ABL Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any LC Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the ABL Documents, including such ABL Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the LC Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the LC Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties.

ARTICLE VI

Collateral Agency for Foreign Collateral
SECTION 6.01          Appointment of Foreign Collateral Agent.  It is acknowledged that, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United State of America, applicable law prevents both the ABL Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent from obtaining liens on the Collateral. In such circumstances, solely for Foreign Collateral, the parties hereto agree that (i) WF is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Foreign Collateral Agent is permitted to hold Liens on such Foreign Collateral on trust for the Secured Parties notwithstanding the inability of any other Collateral Agent to hold similar Liens. In recognition of the foregoing, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints WF to act as the “collateral agent” under any Foreign Collateral Documents, and each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes WF to act as the agent of such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Foreign Collateral granted by any of the Grantors to secure any of the ABL Obligations or LC Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Foreign Collateral Documents or supplements to existing Foreign Collateral Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Foreign Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Foreign Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Foreign Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under this agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Foreign Collateral Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Foreign Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 6.02          Rights as a Secured Party.  The Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Foreign Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” (or, as applicable, ABL Secured Party or LC Secured Party) shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Grantor or any Grantor’s Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.
SECTION 6.03          Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Foreign Collateral Documents to which Foreign Collateral Agent is a party, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Foreign Collateral Agent:
(i)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default under the ABL Documents or LC Documents has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (though it hereby is authorized to take such actions in its Permitted Discretion), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Foreign Collateral Documents that the Foreign Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Controlling Parties; provided that the Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith, based upon the advice of counsel or upon the written opinion of its counsel, may expose the Foreign Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Foreign Collateral Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)          shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Foreign Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.
(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Controlling Parties or (ii) in the absence of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the ABL Documents or LC Documents unless and until notice describing such default or Event of Default is given to the Foreign Collateral Agent by the Grantors, LC Collateral Agent, or ABL Collateral Agent.
(c)          The Foreign Collateral 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 or any other Foreign Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Foreign Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document.
SECTION 6.04          Reliance by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Foreign Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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 written advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 6.05          Delegation of Duties.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Foreign Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article VI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the Foreign Collateral.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Foreign Collateral Agent acted with willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in the selection of such sub agents.
(b)          Should any instrument in writing from any Grantor be required by any sub-agent appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such sub-agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Grantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  If any such sub-agent, or successor thereto, shall resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such sub-agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Foreign Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new sub-agent. All references in this Agreement or in any other Foreign Collateral Document to any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted or delivered in favour of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall include any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted to any sub-agent of the Foreign Collateral Agent
SECTION 6.06          Resignation of Foreign Collateral Agent.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Representatives and the Grantors.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting through their Collateral Agents, shall have the right (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any LC Document or ABL Document at the time of such resignation) to appoint a successor, which shall be the ABL Collateral Agent (unless the ABL Collateral Agent is also WF) or as jointly designated by ABL Collateral Agent and LC Collateral Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Representatives) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Foreign Collateral Agent is appointed but in any event, no more than sixty (60) days following the Resignation Effective Date) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Foreign Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Representative directly, until such time, if any, the relevant Collateral Agents appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent), and the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Foreign Collateral Documents.  After the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent was acting as Foreign Collateral Agent.
SECTION 6.07          Non-Reliance on Foreign Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties.  Each Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its related parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the LC Documents, and the ABL Documents, as applicable.  Each Collateral Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or its related parties and based on such documents and 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, any Foreign Collateral Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 6.08          Collateral Matters.
(a)          Each of the Collateral Agents irrevocably authorize the Foreign Collateral Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion:
(i)          to release any Lien or any other claim on any Foreign Collateral granted to or held by the Foreign Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Foreign Collateral Document (A) upon the Discharge of the ABL Obligations and the Discharge of the LC Obligations, as applicable, in which case such Lien shall only be released with respect to the Obligations so Discharged; (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under the Foreign Collateral Documents, ABL Documents and LC Documents or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 6.08(b).
(b)          Upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent at any time, the Controlling Parties will confirm in writing the Foreign Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or take any other action necessary to administer the Foreign Collateral.  In each case, as specified in this Section 6.08, the Foreign Collateral Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor such documents as such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Foreign Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Grantor from its obligations under the Foreign Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
(c)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Foreign Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Foreign Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Grantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Foreign Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Foreign Collateral.
SECTION 6.09          Discretionary Rights.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may:
(a)          assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary from the Collateral Agents) that (i) no default or Event of Default  has occurred and no Grantor is in breach of or default under its obligations under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, ABL Documents, or LC Documents, and (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested by any Foreign Collateral Documents, ABL Documents, or LC Documents in any person has not been exercised;
(b)          if it receives any instructions or directions to take any action in relation to the Foreign Collateral, assume that all applicable conditions under this Agreement, LC Documents and ABL Documents for taking that action have been satisfied;
(c)          engage and pay for the advice or services of accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts and a single legal counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (in addition to the Foreign Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel);
(d)          without prejudice for the generality of paragraph (c) above, at any time engage and pay for the services of a single additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction to act as independent counsel to the Foreign Collateral Agent (in addition to the Foreign Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel) (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the other Secured Parties) if the Foreign Collateral Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying on the advice or services of any professional engaged under this Section 6.09;
(e)          [reserved];
(f)          refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Secured Party or Controlling Party (including bringing any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Collateral Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its reasonable discretion require which may be greater in extent than that contained for the benefit of any Representative in the ABL Documents or LC Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of any ABL Documents or LC Documents to the contrary, the Foreign Collateral Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and
(g)          during a No Controlling Party Situation, make decisions in its Permitted Discretion, and any actions taken based on such decisions shall be deemed to have been taken at the instruction of all Controlling Parties.
SECTION 6.10          Indemnification of Foreign Collateral Agent.
(a)          The Secured Parties (other than the LC Australian Collateral Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent within three Business Days of demand, and keep the Foreign Collateral Agent indemnified against any demands, damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities made against or incurred by it in acting as Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Foreign Collateral Documents, the LC Documents, or the ABL Documents (provided that any indemnification obligations arising solely due to the instructions of a Controlling Party shall be borne solely by the Class represented by such Controlling Party), unless the Foreign Collateral Agent (i) has been reimbursed by a Grantor pursuant to any of the Foreign Collateral Documents or (ii) such liabilities, losses, demands, damages, expenses or costs are incurred by or made against the Foreign Collateral Agent as a result of willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Grantors hereby jointly and severally indemnify the Secured Parties against any payment made by them under this Section 6.10(a) and agree that any payments made by or costs attributable to any ABL Secured Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the ABL Obligations and any payments made by or costs attributable to any LC Secured Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the LC Obligations.
(b)          The Grantors covenant and agree that they shall defend and be jointly and severally liable to reimburse and indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent (and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (“Foreign Collateral Agent Related Persons”)) for any and all reasonable expenses and other charges actually incurred by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents (or any of them) and from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, actual reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Foreign Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Foreign Collateral Document, or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, in each case, except to the extent caused by the Foreign Collateral Agent’s or the Foreign Collateral Agent Related Person’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.
(c)          The obligations under this Section 6.10 shall survive the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the Discharge of the LC Obligations, the resignation of any Foreign Collateral Agent, and termination of this Agreement and all of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.11          Treatment of Proceeds of Foreign Collateral.
(a)          All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of any Foreign Collateral Document or in connection with the realization or enforcement of all or any part of the Foreign Collateral (the “Foreign Recoveries”) shall be held by the Foreign Collateral Agent in trust and applied, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the following order:
First, in discharging any sums owing to the Foreign Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such), including (i) amounts owing to Foreign Collateral Agent to indemnify Foreign Collateral Agent for claims against it or claims that, in the reasonable discretion of Foreign Collateral Agent, may be asserted against Foreign Collateral Agent and are subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and (ii) any deductions and withholdings (on account of taxes or otherwise) which Foreign Collateral Agent is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement and to pay all taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Foreign Collateral Agent (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement); provided that any Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is LC Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Foreign Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the LC Secured Parties and Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is ABL Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Foreign Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the ABL Secured Parties;
Second, to the Representatives to be applied in accordance with Section 2.01(a) hereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, following acceleration of any of the ABL Obligations or the LC Obligations, Foreign Collateral Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, hold any amount of the Foreign Recoveries (subject to the proviso set forth in subclause “first” above) in a non-interest bearing account(s) in the name of the Foreign Collateral Agent with such financial institution as it may select (including itself) and for so long as the Foreign Collateral Agent shall think appropriate in its Permitted Discretion for later application as set forth herein in respect of any sum owing to the Foreign Collateral Agent that the Foreign Collateral Agent reasonably considers might become due or owing at any time in the future.
SECTION 6.12          Currency Conversion. The Foreign Collateral Agent is under no obligation to make the payments to the Secured Parties above in the same currency as that in which the obligations and liabilities owing to the Secured Parties are denominated. To the extent any payment from Foreign Collateral Agent to a Representative causes a currency conversion, the provisions of the ABL Documents or the LC Documents (as applicable, based on the Representative receiving payment) relating to currency conversions shall apply.
SECTION 6.13          Swiss Collateral.
(a)          In relation to Foreign Collateral which is subject to a security document governed by Swiss law, the Foreign Collateral Agent shall:
(i)          hold and administer any non-accessory Collateral (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and
(ii)          hold and administer any accessory Collateral (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties.
(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be empowered to:
(i)          exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Foreign Collateral Agent under the relevant security documents governed by Swiss law together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii)          take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in  accordance with the relevant Foreign Collateral Documents governed by Swiss law; and
(iii)          accept, enter into and execute, as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of any Secured Party under Swiss law in connection with the ABL Documents and/or the LC Documents and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any security document governed by Swiss law which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral, all subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.14          Scottish Collateral.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent declares that it holds on trust for the Secured Parties, on the terms contained in this Article VI: (i) the Foreign Collateral expressed to be subject to the Liens created in favor of the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties by or pursuant to each Foreign Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland, and all proceeds of that Foreign Collateral; (ii) all obligations expressed to be undertaken by any Grantor to pay amounts in respect of the Obligations to the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties and secured by any Foreign Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland together with all representations and warranties expressed to be given by any Grantor or any other person in favour of the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties; and (iii) any other amounts or property, whether rights, entitlements, choses in action or otherwise, actual or contingent, which the Foreign Collateral Agent is required by the terms of the ABL Documents or the LC Documents to hold as trustee on trust for the Secured Parties.
(b)          Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article VI, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably authorizes the Foreign Collateral Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties under or in connection with the ABL Documents and the LC Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Foreign Collateral Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Secured Parties shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Foreign Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.

4.6.4          ULC Shares.  Each Grantor acknowledges that certain of the Collateral of such Grantor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the Agent and each Grantor that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party should under any circumstances prior to realization thereon be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws.  Therefore, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, where a Grantor is the registered owner of ULC Shares which are Collateral of such Grantor, such Grantor shall remain the sole registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC.  Accordingly, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, with respect to such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of certificated Securities pledged of such Grantor, which shall be delivered to the Agent to hold hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Grantor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Agent pursuant hereto.  Nothing in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than the applicable Grantor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to such Grantor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the Agent, any other Secured Party, or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares.  To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Agent or any other Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Collateral of any Grantor without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Security Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral of any Grantor which is not ULC Shares.  Except upon the exercise of rights of the Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Security Agreement, each Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable a Subsidiary that is a ULC to cause or permit, the Agent or any other Secured Party to: (i) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Subsidiary; (ii) have any notation entered in their favour in the share register of such Subsidiary; (iii) be held out as shareholders or members of such Subsidiary; (iv) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such Subsidiary by reason of the Agent holding a Lien over the ULC Shares; or (v) act as a shareholder of such Subsidiary, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Subsidiary or to vote its ULC Shares.
Specified Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor will cause each bank or other financial institution in which it maintains a Specified Deposit Account to enter into a Control Agreement with the Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Specified Deposit Account within 60 days following the Effective Date or such later date on which it becomes a Grantor hereunder (in each case, or such later date as may be agreed to by the Agent in its sole discretion). In the case of deposits maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of the LC Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.
Letter of Credit Rights. Each Grantor will, upon the Agent’s request, cause each issuer of a letter of credit in excess of $5,000,000 individually or in the aggregate to consent to the assignment of proceeds of such letter of credit in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Letter of Credit Rights to such letter of credit.
Intellectual Property.
4.9.1          If, after the date hereof, any Grantor obtains rights to, including, but not limited to filing and acceptance of a statement of use or an amendment to allege use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or applies for or seeks registration of, any new Patent, Trademark or Copyright (limited, in the case of any Foreign Grantor, to any new U.S. Patent, Trademark or Copyright) in addition to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights described in Exhibit “B”, then to the extent the foregoing constitutes Specified Intellectual Property, such Grantor agrees promptly and within 60 days following the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) of the LC Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence such security interest in a form appropriate for recording in the applicable U.S. federal office. In the event the applicable Grantor does not comply with the above deadline, each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Agent to (i) modify this Security Agreement unilaterally by amending Exhibit “B” to include any future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Specified Intellectual Property of which such Grantor is required to notify the Agent pursuant hereto and (ii) record, in addition to and not in substitution for this Security Agreement, a duplicate original of this Security Agreement containing in Exhibit “B” a description of such future registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Specified Intellectual Property.
4.9.2          As of the applicable Determination Date, no Grantor has any interest in, or title to, any U.S. Intellectual Property registrations or applications, except as set forth in Exhibit “B”. As of the applicable Determination Date, this Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on each Grantor’s interest in its Intellectual Property pledged hereunder and, upon timely filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Patents and the IP Short Form with respect to Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit “E” hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the security interest in, to and on each Grantor’s interest in U.S. Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights that are set forth in Exhibit “B” as of the applicable Determination Date shall have been taken and such perfected security interest shall be enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.
Commercial Tort Claims. If, after the date hereof, any Grantor identifies the existence of a Commercial Tort Claim constituting Collateral belonging to such Grantor that has arisen in the course of such Grantor’s business in addition to the Commercial Tort Claims described in Exhibit “F”, which are all of such Grantor’s Commercial Tort Claims as of the Effective Date, then such Grantor shall give the Agent prompt notice thereof, but in any event not less frequently than quarterly. Each Grantor agrees promptly upon request by the Agent to execute and deliver to the Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence the grant of a security interest therein in favor of the Agent.
Updating of Exhibits to Security Agreement. The Borrowers will provide to the Agent, concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate required by Section 7.01(e) of the LC Credit Agreement, updated versions of the Exhibits to this Security Agreement (provided that if there have been no changes to any such Exhibits since the previous updating thereof required hereby, the Borrowers shall indicate that there has been “no change” to the applicable Exhibit(s)). Any reference to any Exhibit herein shall mean such Exhibit after giving effect to any updates thereof by the Borrowers or such Grantor pursuant to this Section 4.11 or otherwise.
ARTICLE V


DEFAULT
Remedies.
5.1.1          Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii)
Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.

(iv)
Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(v)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof.
5.1.2          The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
5.1.3          The Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
5.1.4          Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
5.1.5          Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent's rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
5.1.6          Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.1.1 above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the written request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will:
5.2.1          Assembly of Collateral. Assemble and make available to the Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified in writing by the Agent.
5.2.2          Secured Party Access. Permit the Agent, by the Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.
5.2.3          Prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the SEC or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Agent may request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and furnish to the Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Agent may specify.
5.2.4          Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral.
License. The Agent is hereby granted a sublicenseable license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, without charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property constituting Collateral and to access all media and materials containing same. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory constituting Collateral directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell such Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any such Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent or any other Secured Party as provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent or such other Secured Parties of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
ARTICLE VI


WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Agent and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided, that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII


PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
Lockboxes. Upon request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which agreements, if so required by the Agent, shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Agent.
Collection of Receivables. The Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter during the continuation of any Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement hold in trust for the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof.
Special Collateral Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent may require, by giving the Grantors written notice, that all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account. The Agent shall from time to time deposit the collected balances in such cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in such cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations.
Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations of the Grantors, as provided under Sections 4.01 and 9.04 of the LC Credit Agreement.
Swiss Limitations.
7.5.1          If and to the extent that the security granted by a Grantor incorporated in Switzerland and/or having its registered office in Switzerland and/or qualifying as a Swiss resident pursuant to art. 9 of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act (the “Swiss Grantor”) under this Security Agreement secures obligations other than obligations of one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of the Swiss Grantor's direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream liabilities) or sister companies (cross-stream liabilities)) (the “Restricted Obligations) and that using the proceeds from the enforcement of such security would under Swiss corporate law (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or restricting profit distributions) not be permitted at such time, then the proceeds from the enforcement of such security to be applied towards discharging Restricted Obligations shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted under applicable Swiss law; provided, that such limited amount shall at no time be less than the Swiss Grantor's distributable capital (presently being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for distribution) at the time or times of enforcement for Restricted Obligations, and further provided that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) affect the security granted by the Swiss Grantor under this Security Agreement in excess thereof, but merely postpone the time of using such proceeds from Enforcement of such security until such times as application towards discharging the Restricted Obligations is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation.
7.5.2          In case the Swiss Grantor who must make a payment in respect of Restricted Obligations under this Security Agreement is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in respect of such payment, the Swiss Grantor shall:

(i)
procure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii)
if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 7.5.2(i) hereof does not apply, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 7.5.2(i) hereof applies for a part of the Swiss Withholding Tax only, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such tax by notification under applicable law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;

(iii)
notify the Agent that such notification, or as the case may be, deduction has been made and provide the Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(iv)
in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, use its best efforts to ensure that any person other than the Agent, which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment in respect of Restricted Obligations, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:
(A)          request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties) and pay to the Agent upon receipt any amounts so refunded; or
(B)          if the Agent or a Secured Party is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment and if requested by the Agent, provide the Agent and/or the relevant Secured Party those documents that are required by law and applicable tax treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax in order to enable the Agent and/or the relevant Secured Party to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax.
7.5.3          If the Swiss Grantor is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in accordance with Section 7.5.1 hereof, the Agent shall be entitled to further request payment as per this Section 7.5 and other indemnity granted to it under this Security Agreement and apply proceeds therefrom against the Restricted Obligations up to an amount which is equal to that amount which would have been obtained if no withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax were required, whereby such further payments shall always be limited to the maximum amount of the freely distributable capital of the Swiss Grantor as set out in Section 7.5.1 hereof. In case the proceeds irrevocably received by the Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 7.5.2(iv) hereof and this paragraph (additional enforcements) have the effect that the proceeds received by the Agent and the Secured Parties exceed the Secured Obligations, then the Agent or the relevant Secured Party shall return such overcompensation to the Swiss Grantor.
7.5.4          If and to the extent requested by the Agent and if and to the extent this is from time to time required under Swiss law (restricting profit distributions), in order to allow the Agent (and the Secured Parties) to obtain a maximum benefit under this Security Agreement, the Swiss Grantor shall promptly implement the following:

(i)
the preparation of an up-to-date audited balance sheet of the Swiss Grantor;

(ii)
the confirmation of the auditors of the Swiss Grantor that the relevant amount represents the maximum of freely distributable profits;

(iii)
the prompt convening of a meeting of the shareholders of the Swiss Grantor which will approve the (resulting) profit distribution;

(iv)
if the enforcement of any Restricted Obligations would be limited as a result of any matter referred to in this Section 7.5, the Swiss Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) write up or realise any of its assets shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realisation, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Grantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and/or (b) reduce its share capital to the extent permitted by applicable law; and

(v)
all such other measures reasonably necessary and/or to promptly procure the fulfilment of all prerequisites reasonably necessary to allow the Swiss Grantor and relevant parent company to promptly make the payments and perform the obligations agreed hereunder from time to time with a minimum of limitations.
7.6.          Norwegian Limitations.
7.6.1          The Norwegian Financial Agreements Act shall not apply to this Security Agreement, except as required by § 2 of the Financial Agreements Act (if applicable). The liability of each Grantor incorporated in Norway in its capacity as Grantor (each a “Norwegian Grantor”)  shall be limited to USD $240,000,000, plus any interest, default interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses due under any Secured Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of any Norwegian Grantor under this Security Agreement shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of sections 8-7 and/or 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 (the “Act”) regarding restrictions on a Norwegian limited liability company’s ability to grant guarantees, loans, security or other financial assistance. The obligations of the Norwegian Grantors shall only be limited to the extent this is required from time to time, and the Norwegian Grantors shall be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the Act as amended from time to time.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this Security Agreement by a Norwegian Grantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this Section 7.6.1, the Secured Parties shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the Secured Parties as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian Grantor.
7.6.2          The Norwegian Grantors' Collateral is limited to such Norwegian Grantors' Patents being held and registered in the United States, and does not extend to any Collateral held or registered outside the jurisdiction of the United States.
7.6.3          Each Norwegian Grantor and the Agent hereby confirms and acknowledges that each representation and warranty made by the Norwegian Grantors under Article III, each covenant made under Article IV and each provision under Articles VII and VIII are made subject to Section 8.23, and that any failure to comply with any of the Sections under such Articles does not constitute a breach of any such provisions or Event of Default to the extent that failure to comply is by reason of Norwegian law.
ARTICLE VIII


GENERAL PROVISIONS
Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least 10 days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or its or their agents, employees, officers, nominees or other representatives, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
Limitation on Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the care of any agent, employee, officer, nominee or other representative of the Agent or such other Secured Party). Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees, subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
Secured Party Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and fails to so perform or pay and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any reasonable and documented amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent and appoints the Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property which is Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Agent Control (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables constituting Collateral in the name of the Agent or such Grantor, (vi) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by the Agent in connection therewith; provided, that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the LC Credit Agreement.
Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.2, or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy, subject to Section 8.2 hereof all respects.
Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement); provided that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted under the LC Credit Agreement. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.
Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 4.02 of the LC Credit Agreement, any Other Taxes payable or ruled payable by a Governmental Authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the applicable Grantor. The Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any and all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external legal, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) if and to the extent the Borrowers are required to reimburse such amounts under Section 11.03 of the LC Credit Agreement. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of any individual Grantor under this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate to the extent provided in and in accordance with Section 11.23 of the LC Credit Agreement.
Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract 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.

Each Grantor will cause each bank or other financial institution in which it maintains a Specified Deposit Account to enter into a Control Agreement with the Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Specified Deposit Account within 60 days following the Effective Date or such later date on which it becomes a Grantor hereunder (in each case, or such later date as may be agreed to by the Agent in its sole discretion). In the case of deposits maintained with Lenders, the terms of such Control Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the LC Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.
Letter of Credit Rights. Each Grantor will, upon the Agent’s request, cause each issuer of a letter of credit in excess of $5,000,000 individually or in the aggregate to consent to the assignment of proceeds of such letter of credit in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Letter of Credit Rights to such letter of credit, to the extent possible under applicable law.
Intellectual Property.
4.9.1          If, after the date hereof, any Grantor obtains rights to, including, but not limited to filing and acceptance of a statement of use or an amendment to allege use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, or applies for or seeks registration of, any new Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Industrial Design in addition to the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Industrial Designs described in Exhibit "B", then to the extent the foregoing constitutes Specified Intellectual Property, such Grantor agrees promptly and within 60 days following the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) of the LC Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence such security interest in a form appropriate for recording in the applicable federal office. In the event the applicable Grantor does not comply with the above deadline, each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Agent to (i) modify this Security Agreement unilaterally by amending Exhibit "B" to include any future Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and/or Industrial Designs constituting Specified Intellectual Property of which such Grantor is required to notify the Agent pursuant hereto and (ii) record, in addition to and not in substitution for this Security Agreement, a duplicate original of this Security Agreement (or other registrable notice) containing in Exhibit "B" a description of such future registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and/or Industrial Designs constituting Specified Intellectual Property.
4.9.2          As of the applicable Determination Date, no Grantor has any interest in, or title to, any Intellectual Property registration or applications, except as set forth in Exhibit “B”.  As of the applicable Determination Date, this Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on each Grantor’s interest in its Intellectual Property and, upon timely filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Patents and the IP Short Form with respect to Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or a Notice of Security Interest with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit “E” hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the security interest in, to and on each Grantor’s interest in Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Industrial Designs that are set forth in Exhibit “B” as of the applicable Determination Date shall have been taken and such perfected security interest shall be enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.
..
Updating of Exhibits to Security Agreement. The Borrowers will provide to the Agent, concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate required by Section 7.01(e) of the LC Credit Agreement, updated versions of the Exhibits to this Security Agreement (provided that if there have been no changes to any such Exhibits since the previous updating thereof required hereby, the Borrowers shall indicate that there has been “no change” to the applicable Exhibit(s)). Any reference to any Exhibit herein shall mean such Exhibit after giving effect to any updates thereof by the Borrowers or such Grantor pursuant to this Section 4.11 or otherwise.

DEFAULT
Remedies.
5.1.1          Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the PPSA (whether or not the PPSA applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii)
Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement or other control agreement with any Securities Intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.

(iv)
Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(v)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof.

(vi)
Appoint by instrument in writing one or more Receivers of any or all Grantors or any or all of the Collateral of any or all Grantors with such rights, powers and authority (including any or all of the rights, powers and authority of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement, subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares) as may be provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such Receiver from time to time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by the Agent will (for purposes relating to the responsibility for the Receiver's acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of any such Grantor and not of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.

(vii)
Obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an order for the appointment of a Receiver of any or all Grantors or of any or all of the Collateral of any or all Grantors.
5.1.2          The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable provincial, territorial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
5.1.3          The Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
5.1.4          Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
5.1.5          Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent's rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
5.1.6          Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.1.1 above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the written request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will:
5.2.1          Assembly of Collateral. Assemble and make available to the Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified in writing by the Agent.
5.2.2          Secured Party Access. Permit the Agent, by the Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.
5.2.3          Prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with any applicable securities regulatory authority or other government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Agent may request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and furnish to the Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Agent may specify.
5.2.4          Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral.
License. The Agent is hereby granted a sublicenseable license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, without charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property and to access all media and materials containing same. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory constituting Collateral directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell such Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any such Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
5.4.          Remedies Cumulative.  Each right, power, and remedy of Agent or any other Secured Party as provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent or such other Secured Parties of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
ARTICLE VI


WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Agent and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth, provided that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII


PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
Lockboxes. Upon request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which agreements, if so required by the Agent, shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Agent.
Collection of Receivables. The Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter during the continuation of any Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement hold in trust for the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof.
Special Collateral Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent may require, by giving the Grantors written notice, that all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account. The Agent shall from time to time deposit the collected balances in such cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in such cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations.
Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations of the Grantors, as provided under Sections 4.01 and 9.04 of the LC Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII


GENERAL PROVISIONS
Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least 10 days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or its or their agents, employees, officers, nominees or other representatives, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
Limitation on Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the care of any agent, employee, officer, nominee or other representative of the Agent or such other Secured Party). Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees, subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
Secured Party Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and fails to so perform or pay and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any reasonable and documented amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent and appoints the Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of Uncertificated Securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property which is Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Agent Control (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables constituting Collateral in the name of the Agent or such Grantor, (vi) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by the Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the LC Credit Agreement.
Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.2, or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy, subject to Section 8.2 hereof in all respects.
Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “unjust preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement); provided that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted under the LC Credit Agreement. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.
Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 4.02 of the LC Credit Agreement, any Other Taxes payable or ruled payable by a Governmental Authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the applicable Grantor. The Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any and all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external legal, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) if and to the extent the Borrowers are required to reimburse such amounts under Section 11.03 of the LC Credit Agreement. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.
Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until Payment in Full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of any individual Grantor under this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate to the extent provided in and in accordance with Section 11.23 of the LC Credit Agreement.
Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract 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.

The Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

The Charges are cumulative, in addition to and independent of, and shall neither be merged with nor prejudiced by nor in any way exclude or prejudice, any other Security Interest, guarantee, indemnity, right of recourse or any other right whatsoever which the Collateral Agent may now or hereafter hold or have (or would apart from this Deed or the Charges hold or have) from the Company or any other person in respect of any of the Secured Obligations.
13.3
The restriction on consolidation of mortgages contained in section 93 of the Law of Property Act shall not apply in relation to the Charges.
13.4
If the Collateral Agent receives or is deemed to be affected by notice (actual or constructive) of any Security Interest over any Charged Asset or if an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Company:

(a)
the Collateral Agent may open a new account or accounts with or on behalf of the Company (whether or not it allows any existing account to continue) and, if it does not, it shall nevertheless be deemed to have done so at the time it received or was deemed to have received such notice or at the time that the Insolvency Event occurred; and

(b)
all payments made by the Company to the Collateral Agent after the Collateral Agent received or is deemed to have received such notice or after such Insolvency Event occurred shall be credited or deemed to have been credited to the new account or accounts, and in no circumstances whatsoever shall operate to reduce the Secured Obligations as at the time the Collateral Agent received or was deemed to have received such notice or as at the time that such Insolvency Event occurred.
13.5

14.

14.2
The Company irrevocably and by way of security appoints the Collateral Agent and every Receiver jointly and also severally to be its attorney (with full power to appoint substitutes and to sub‑delegate, including power to authorise the person so appointed to make further appointments) on behalf of the Company and in its name or otherwise, and in such manner as the attorney may think fit, after the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, to execute, deliver, perfect and do any deed, document, act or thing (a) which the Collateral Agent or such Receiver (or any such substitute or sub‑delegate) may, reasonably consider appropriate in connection with the exercise of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or such Receiver, or (b) which the Company is obliged to execute or do under this Deed but has not executed or done in a timely manner (including the execution and delivery of mortgages, assignments, transfers or charges or notices or directions in relation to any of the Charged Assets). Without prejudice to the generality of its right to appoint substitutes and to sub‑delegate, the Collateral Agent may appoint the Receiver as its substitute or sub‑delegate, and any person appointed the substitute or sub‑delegate of the Collateral Agent shall, in connection with the exercise of such power of attorney, be the agent of the Company. The Company acknowledges that such power of attorney is as regards the Collateral Agent and any Receiver granted irrevocably and for value to secure proprietary interests in and the performance of obligations owed to the respective donees within the meaning of the Powers of Attorney Act 1971.
14.3
The Company hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever any such attorney shall do or purport to do in the exercise or purported exercise of all or any of the rights referred to in this Clause 0 (14.Further Assurances, Power of Attorney, ETC.)

THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S RIGHTS
15.1
The Secured Obligations shall become due for the purposes of section 101 of the Law of Property Act, and the statutory powers of sale and enforcement and of appointing a Receiver which are conferred on the Collateral Agent under that Act (as varied and extended by this Deed) and all other rights of a mortgagee conferred by the Law of Property Act shall be deemed to arise, immediately after execution of and in accordance with this Deed.
15.2
Section 103 of the Law of Property Act shall not apply to this Deed and upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event the Charges shall become immediately enforceable and the rights conferred by the Law of Property Act and this Deed immediately exercisable by the Collateral Agent without the restrictions contained in the Law of Property Act.
15.3
At any time after an Enforcement Event occurs, the Collateral Agent shall, in addition to the powers of leasing and accepting surrenders of leases conferred by section 99 and 100 of the Law of Property Act, have power to make any lease or agreement to lease at a premium or otherwise, accept surrenders of leases and grant options, in each case on any terms and in any manner the Collateral Agent thinks fit without needing to comply with any restrictions imposed by such sections or otherwise.
15.4
In making any sale or other disposal of any Charged Assets or making any acquisition in exercise of their respective rights, the Collateral Agent or any Receiver may do so for such consideration (including cash, shares, debentures, loan capital or other securities whatsoever, consideration fluctuating according to or dependent on profit or turnover, and consideration whose amount is to be determined by a third party, and whether such consideration is receivable in a lump sum or by instalments) and otherwise on such terms and conditions and in such manner as it or he reasonably thinks fit, and may also grant any option to purchase and effect exchanges.
15.5
The Collateral Agent may at any time delegate to any person either generally or specifically, on such terms and conditions (including power to sub‑delegate) and in such manner as the Collateral Agent reasonably thinks fit, any rights (including the power of attorney) from time to time exercisable by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Deed. No such delegation shall preclude the subsequent exercise by the Collateral Agent of such right or any subsequent delegation or revocation thereof.
15.6
The Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time and without prejudice to the Collateral Agent 's other rights, set off any Secured Obligations (to the extent beneficially owned by the Collateral Agent) against any obligation or liability (matured or not and whether actual or contingent) owing by the Collateral Agent to, or any amount and sum held or received or receivable by it on behalf or to the order of, the Company or to which the Company is beneficially entitled (such rights extending to the set off or transfer of all or any part of any credit balance on any such account, whether or not then due and whatever the place of payment or booking branch, in or towards satisfaction of any Secured Obligations) to the extent permitted under both the Loan Agreement and any applicable Requirements of Law. For that purpose, if any of the Secured Obligations is in a different currency from such obligation, liability, amount or sum (including credit balance), the Collateral Agent may effect any necessary conversion at its then prevailing spot rates of exchange (as conclusively determined by the Collateral Agent) and may pay out any additional sum which the UK or any other governmental or regulatory body of any jurisdiction may require, as a matter of law, the Collateral Agent to pay in respect of such conversion. The Collateral Agent may in its absolute discretion (in good faith) estimate the amount of any liability of the Company which is unascertained or contingent and set off such estimated amount, and no amount shall be payable by the Collateral Agent to the Company unless and until Payment in Full. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise any of its rights under this Clause, which shall be without prejudice and in addition to any rights of set‑off, combination of accounts, bankers' lien or other right to which it is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
15.7
Until Payment in Full, the Collateral Agent or the Receiver (as appropriate) may at any time credit to and retain in an interest bearing suspense account, for such period as it reasonably thinks fit, any moneys received, recovered or realised pursuant to this Deed, without any obligation to apply all or any part of the same in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations.
15.8
If, after the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Company for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform or to procure the observance or punctual performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it to the Collateral Agent under this Deed, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall not be obliged), on behalf of or in the name of the Company or otherwise, to perform the obligation and to take any steps which the Collateral Agent may reasonably consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, the failure, but the exercise of this right, or the failure to exercise it, shall in no circumstances prejudice the Collateral Agent 's rights under this Deed or otherwise or constitute the Collateral Agent a mortgagee in possession.
16.

16.1
Paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act applies to the floating charge created hereunder.
16.2

being requested to do so by the Company; or

(c)
any application having been made to the court for an administration order under the Insolvency Act; or

(d)
any person having ceased to be an Administrator as a result of any event specified in paragraph 90 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act; or

(e)
any notice of intention to appoint an Administrator having been given by any person or persons entitled to make such appointment under the Insolvency Act.
16.3
Where any such appointment is made at a time when an Administrator continues in office, the Administrator shall act either jointly or concurrently with the Administrator previously appointed hereunder, as the appointment specifies.
16.4
Subject to any applicable order of the Court, the Collateral Agent may replace any Administrator, or seek an order replacing the Administrator, in any manner allowed by the Insolvency Act.
16.5
Where the Administrator was appointed by the Collateral Agent under paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act, the Collateral Agent may, by notice in writing to the Company, replace the Administrator in accordance with paragraph 92 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act.
16.6
Every such appointment shall take effect at the time and in the manner specified by the Insolvency Act.
16.7
If at any time and by virtue of any such appointment(s) any two or more persons shall hold office as Administrators of the same assets or income, such Administrators may act jointly or concurrently as the appointment specifies so that, if appointed to act concurrently, each one of such Administrators shall be entitled (unless the contrary shall be stated in any of the deed(s) or other instrument(s) appointing them) to exercise all the functions conferred on an Administrator by the Insolvency Act.
16.8
Every such instrument, notice or deed of appointment, and every delegation or appointment by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right to delegate its powers herein contained, may be made in writing under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or of any Delegate.
16.9
Every Administrator shall have all the powers of an administrator under the Insolvency Act.
16.10

Every Administrator shall be entitled to remuneration for his services in the manner fixed by or pursuant to the Insolvency Act or the Insolvency Rules.
17.
RECEIVER
17.1
None of the restrictions imposed by the Law of Property Act in relation to the appointment of receivers or the giving of notice or otherwise shall apply. At any time and from time to time upon or after request by the Company or the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Collateral Agent may, and in addition to all statutory and other powers of appointment or otherwise, by any instrument or deed signed under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or of any Delegate, appoint such person or persons (including an officer or officers of the Collateral Agent) as it reasonably thinks fit to be Receiver or Receivers (to act jointly and/or severally as the Collateral Agent may specify in the appointment) of (a) any Fixed Charge Asset or Assets, and/or (b) any Floating Charge Asset or Assets, so that each one of such Receivers shall be entitled (unless the contrary shall be stated in any deed(s) or other instrument(s) appointing them) to exercise individually all the powers and discretions conferred on the Receivers. If any Receiver is appointed of only part of the Charged Assets, references to the rights conferred on a Receiver by any provision of this Deed shall be construed as references to that part of the Charged Assets or any part thereof.
17.2
The Collateral Agent may appoint any Receiver on any terms the Collateral Agent reasonably thinks fit. The Collateral Agent may by any instrument or deed signed under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or any Delegate (subject to section 62 of the Insolvency Act) remove a Receiver appointed by it whether or not appointing another in his place, and may also appoint another Receiver to act with any other Receiver or to replace any Receiver who resigns, retires or otherwise ceases to hold office.
17.3
The exclusion of any part of the Charged Assets from the appointment of any Receiver shall not preclude the Collateral Agent from subsequently extending his appointment (or that of the Receiver replacing him) to that part or appointing another Receiver over any other part of the Charged Assets.
17.4
Any Receiver shall, so far as the law permits, be the agent of the Company and (subject to any restriction or limitation imposed by applicable law) the Company shall be solely responsible for his remuneration and his acts, omissions or defaults and solely liable on any contracts or engagements made, entered into or adopted by him and any losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by him; and in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Collateral Agent be in any way responsible for or incur any liability in connection with any Receiver's acts, omissions, defaults, contracts, engagements, Losses, liabilities, costs, charges, expenses, misconduct, negligence or default, save, in each case, in circumstances where the liability arises as a direct result of the Receiver’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If a liquidator of the Company is appointed, the Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for the Collateral Agent .
17.5
Subject to section 36 of the Insolvency Act, the remuneration of any Receiver may be fixed by the Collateral Agent without being limited to the maximum rate specified by sections 109(6) of the Law of Property Act (and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross amount of all money received or otherwise and may include remuneration in connection with claims, actions or Proceedings made or brought against the Receiver by the Company or any other person or the performance or discharge of any obligation imposed upon him by statute or otherwise), but such remuneration shall be payable by the Company alone; and the amount of such remuneration may be debited by the Collateral Agent from any account of the Company but shall, in any event, form part of the Secured Obligations and accordingly be secured on the Charged Assets under the Charges. Such remuneration shall be paid on such terms and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and Receiver may from time to time reasonably agree or failing such agreement as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines.
17.6
Any Receiver may be invested by the Collateral Agent with such of the powers, authorities and discretions exercisable by the Collateral Agent under this Deed as the Collateral Agent may reasonably think fit. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Receiver shall (subject to any restrictions in his appointment) have in relation to the Relevant Charged Assets, in each case in the Company's name or his own name and on such terms and in such manner as he sees fit, all the rights referred to in Schedule 1 (and where applicable Schedule 2) of the Insolvency Act; all rights of the Collateral Agent under this Deed; all the rights conferred by the Law of Property Act on mortgagors, mortgagees in possession and receivers appointed under the Law of Property Act; all rights of an absolute beneficial owner including rights to do or omit to do anything the Company itself could do or omit; and all rights to do all things the Receiver considers necessary, desirable or incidental to any of his rights or exercise thereof including the realisation of any Relevant Charged Assets and getting in of any Assets which would when got in be Relevant Charged Assets.

17.8
The Collateral Agent may from time to time and at any time require any Receiver to give security for the due performance of his duties as such Receiver and may fix the nature and amount of the security to be so given but the Collateral Agent shall not be bound in any case to require any such security.
18.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver shall by virtue of this Clause 0 (20.          Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER) owe any duty of care or other duty to any person which it would not owe absent this Clause 0 (20.          Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER).
20.2           Without prejudice to Clause 0 (20. Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER), so far as permitted by law the entry into possession of any of the Charged Assets (including by an Administrator) shall not render the Collateral Agent or any Receiver liable to account as mortgagee in possession or to be liable for any Loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might otherwise be liable in respect of any of the Charged Assets; and if the Collateral Agent or any Receiver takes possession of the Charged Assets, it or he may at any time relinquish such possession.

FORM OF NOTICE OF CHARGE OF BANK ACCOUNTS

PART 1 – FORM OF NOTICE OF CHARGE FOR GENERAL BANK ACCOUNTS

To:          [Name of General Account Bank]
Date: [•]
Dear Sirs,
We hereby give you irrevocable notice that we (the "Company") have charged to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the "Collateral Agent") all of our right, title, interest and benefit in, to and under account numbers [•] and [•], account name [•] (including any renewal or redesignation thereof) including all moneys standing to the credit of that account from time to time (the "Accounts"). This charge is subject, and without prejudice, to the charge to the Collateral Agent of all our right, title and interest in and to the monies from time to time standing to the credit of the Accounts pursuant to the ABL deed of charge and assignment dated [5] December 2019, notice of which was given to you by a notice dated [●] (the “ABL Deed of Charge and Assignment Notice”).
1.
We irrevocably authorise and instruct you:

(a)
to hold all monies from time to time standing to the credit of the Accounts to the order of the Collateral Agent and to pay all or any part of those monies to the Collateral Agent (or as it may direct) promptly following receipt of written instructions from the Collateral Agent to that effect; and

(b)
to disclose to the Collateral Agent any information relating to the Company and the Accounts which the Collateral Agent may from time to time request you to provide.

The Collateral Agent may at any time delegate to any person either generally or specifically, on such terms and conditions (including power to sub‑delegate) and in such manner as the Collateral Agent reasonably thinks fit, any rights (including the power of attorney) from time to time exercisable by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Deed. No such delegation shall preclude the subsequent exercise by the Collateral Agent of such right or any subsequent delegation or revocation thereof.
15.6
The Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time and without prejudice to the Collateral Agent's other rights, set off any Secured Obligations (to the extent beneficially owned by the Collateral Agent) against any obligation or liability (matured or not and whether actual or contingent) owing by the Collateral Agent to, or any amount and sum held or received or receivable by it on behalf or to the order of, the Company or to which the Company is beneficially entitled (such rights extending to the set off or transfer of all or any part of any credit balance on any such account, whether or not then due and whatever the place of payment or booking branch, in or towards satisfaction of any Secured Obligations) to the extent permitted under both the Loan Agreement and any applicable Requirements of Law. For that purpose, if any of the Secured Obligations is in a different currency from such obligation, liability, amount or sum (including credit balance), the Collateral Agent may effect any necessary conversion at its then prevailing spot rates of exchange (as conclusively determined by the Collateral Agent) and may pay out any additional sum which the UK or any other governmental or regulatory body of any jurisdiction may require, as a matter of law, the Collateral Agent to pay in respect of such conversion. The Collateral Agent may in its absolute discretion (in good faith) estimate the amount of any liability of the Company which is unascertained or contingent and set off such estimated amount, and no amount shall be payable by the Collateral Agent to the Company unless and until Payment in Full. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise any of its rights under this Clause, which shall be without prejudice and in addition to any rights of set‑off, combination of accounts, bankers' lien or other right to which it is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
15.7
Until Payment in Full, the Collateral Agent or the Receiver (as appropriate) may at any time credit to and retain in an interest bearing suspense account, for such period as it reasonably thinks fit, any moneys received, recovered or realised pursuant to this Deed, without any obligation to apply all or any part of the same in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations.
15.8
If, after the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Company for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform or to procure the observance or punctual performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it to the Collateral Agent under this Deed, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall not be obliged), on behalf of or in the name of the Company or otherwise, to perform the obligation and to take any steps which the Collateral Agent may reasonably consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, the failure, but the exercise of this right, or the failure to exercise it, shall in no circumstances prejudice the Collateral Agent's rights under this Deed or otherwise or constitute the Collateral Agent a mortgagee in possession.
16.
APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR
16.1
Paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act applies to the floating charge created hereunder.
16.2
Subject to any relevant provisions of the Insolvency Act, the Collateral Agent may, by any instrument or deed of appointment, appoint one or more persons to be the Administrator of the Company at any time after:

(a)
the occurrence of an Enforcement Event; or

(b)
being requested to do so by the Company; or

(c)
any application having been made to the court for an administration order under the Insolvency Act; or

(d)
any person having ceased to be an Administrator as a result of any event specified in paragraph 90 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act; or

(e)
any notice of intention to appoint an Administrator having been given by any person or persons entitled to make such appointment under the Insolvency Act.
16.3
Where any such appointment is made at a time when an Administrator continues in office, the Administrator shall act either jointly or concurrently with the Administrator previously appointed hereunder, as the appointment specifies.
16.4
Subject to any applicable order of the Court, the Collateral Agent may replace any Administrator, or seek an order replacing the Administrator, in any manner allowed by the Insolvency Act.
16.5
Where the Administrator was appointed by the Collateral Agent under paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act, the Collateral Agent may, by notice in writing to the Company, replace the Administrator in accordance with paragraph 92 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act.
16.6
Every such appointment shall take effect at the time and in the manner specified by the Insolvency Act.
16.7
If at any time and by virtue of any such appointment(s) any two or more persons shall hold office as Administrators of the same assets or income, such Administrators may act jointly or concurrently as the appointment specifies so that, if appointed to act concurrently, each one of such Administrators shall be entitled (unless the contrary shall be stated in any of the deed(s) or other instrument(s) appointing them) to exercise all the functions conferred on an Administrator by the Insolvency Act.
16.8
Every such instrument, notice or deed of appointment, and every delegation or appointment by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right to delegate its powers herein contained, may be made in writing under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or of any Delegate.
16.9
Every Administrator shall have all the powers of an administrator under the Insolvency Act.
16.10
In exercising his functions hereunder and under the Insolvency Act, the Administrator acts as agent of the Company and does not act as agent of the Collateral Agent.
16.11
Every Administrator shall be entitled to remuneration for his services in the manner fixed by or pursuant to the Insolvency Act or the Insolvency Rules.
17.
RECEIVER
17.1
None of the restrictions imposed by the Law of Property Act in relation to the appointment of receivers or the giving of notice or otherwise shall apply. At any time and from time to time upon or after request by the Company or the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Collateral Agent may, and in addition to all statutory and other powers of appointment or otherwise, by any instrument or deed signed under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or of any Delegate, appoint such person or persons (including an officer or officers of the Collateral Agent) as it reasonably thinks fit to be Receiver or Receivers (to act jointly and/or severally as the Collateral Agent may specify in the appointment) of (a) any Fixed Charge Asset or Assets, and/or (b) any Floating Charge Asset or Assets, so that each one of such Receivers shall be entitled (unless the contrary shall be stated in any deed(s) or other instrument(s) appointing them) to exercise individually all the powers and discretions conferred on the Receivers. If any Receiver is appointed of only part of the Charged Assets, references to the rights conferred on a Receiver by any provision of this Deed shall be construed as references to that part of the Charged Assets or any part thereof.
17.2
The Collateral Agent may appoint any Receiver on any terms the Collateral Agent reasonably thinks fit. The Collateral Agent may by any instrument or deed signed under the hand of any manager or officer of the Collateral Agent or any other authorised person or any Delegate (subject to section 62 of the Insolvency Act) remove a Receiver appointed by it whether or not appointing another in his place, and may also appoint another Receiver to act with any other Receiver or to replace any Receiver who resigns, retires or otherwise ceases to hold office.
17.3
The exclusion of any part of the Charged Assets from the appointment of any Receiver shall not preclude the Collateral Agent from subsequently extending his appointment (or that of the Receiver replacing him) to that part or appointing another Receiver over any other part of the Charged Assets.
17.4
Any Receiver shall, so far as the law permits, be the agent of the Company and (subject to any restriction or limitation imposed by applicable law) the Company shall be solely responsible for his remuneration and his acts, omissions or defaults and solely liable on any contracts or engagements made, entered into or adopted by him and any losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by him; and in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Collateral Agent be in any way responsible for or incur any liability in connection with any Receiver's acts, omissions, defaults, contracts, engagements, Losses, liabilities, costs, charges, expenses, misconduct, negligence or default, save, in each case, in circumstances where the liability arises as a direct result of the Receiver’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If a liquidator of the Company is appointed, the Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for the Collateral Agent.
17.5
Subject to section 36 of the Insolvency Act, the remuneration of any Receiver may be fixed by the Collateral Agent without being limited to the maximum rate specified by sections 109(6) of the Law of Property Act (and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross amount of all money received or otherwise and may include remuneration in connection with claims, actions or Proceedings made or brought against the Receiver by the Company or any other person or the performance or discharge of any obligation imposed upon him by statute or otherwise), but such remuneration shall be payable by the Company alone; and the amount of such remuneration may be debited by the Collateral Agent from any account of the Company but shall, in any event, form part of the Secured Obligations and accordingly be secured on the Charged Assets under the Charges. Such remuneration shall be paid on such terms and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and Receiver may from time to time reasonably agree or failing such agreement as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines.
17.6
Any Receiver may be invested by the Collateral Agent with such of the powers, authorities and discretions exercisable by the Collateral Agent under this Deed as the Collateral Agent may reasonably think fit. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Receiver shall (subject to any restrictions in his appointment) have in relation to the Relevant Charged Assets, in each case in the Company's name or his own name and on such terms and in such manner as he sees fit, all the rights referred to in Schedule 1 (and where applicable Schedule 2) of the Insolvency Act; all rights of the Collateral Agent under this Deed; all the rights conferred by the Law of Property Act on mortgagors, mortgagees in possession and receivers appointed under the Law of Property Act; all rights of an absolute beneficial owner including rights to do or omit to do anything the Company itself could do or omit; and all rights to do all things the Receiver considers necessary, desirable or incidental to any of his rights or exercise thereof including the realisation of any Relevant Charged Assets and getting in of any Assets which would when got in be Relevant Charged Assets.
17.7
The Collateral Agent shall not (save only to the extent caused by its own negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct, breach of trust or breach of any obligation of the Collateral Agent hereunder) be liable for any losses or damages arising from any exercise of his authorities, powers or discretions by any Receiver.
17.8
The Collateral Agent may from time to time and at any time require any Receiver to give security for the due performance of his duties as such Receiver and may fix the nature and amount of the security to be so given but the Collateral Agent shall not be bound in any case to require any such security.
18.

19.
PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

19.2
No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Collateral Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate shall be concerned to enquire whether any event has happened upon which any of the rights which they have exercised or purported to exercise under or in connection with this Deed, the Law of Property Act or the Insolvency Act has arisen or become exercisable, whether the Secured Obligations remain outstanding, whether any event has happened to authorise the Collateral Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate to act, or whether the Receiver is authorised to act, whether any consents, regulations, restrictions or directions relating to such rights have been obtained or complied with, or otherwise as to the propriety, regularity or validity of the exercise or purported exercise of any such right or as to the application of any moneys borrowed or raised or other realisation proceeds; and the title and position of a purchaser or such person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of those matters and the protections contained in sections 104 to 107 of the Law of Property Act, section 42(3) Insolvency Act or any other legislation from time to time in force shall apply to any person purchasing from or dealing with a Receiver, the Collateral Agent or any Delegate.
19.3
The receipt of the Collateral Agent or the Receiver or any Delegate shall be an absolute and conclusive discharge to a purchaser or such person and shall relieve him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the direction of the Collateral Agent or the Receiver.
19.4           In Clauses 0 (19. Protection of Third PARTIES) to 0 (19. Protection of Third PARTIES) above, "purchaser" includes any person acquiring a lease of or Security Interest over, or any other interest or right whatsoever in respect of, any Charged Assets.

(a)
be liable to the Company or any other person in respect of any cost, charge, expense, liability, Loss or damage arising out of the exercise, or attempted or purported exercise of, or the failure to exercise, any of their respective rights in accordance with this Deed, or arising out of the realisation of any Charged Assets or the manner thereof or arising out of any act, default, omission or misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any Receiver in relation to the Charged Assets or otherwise in connection with this Deed, save only to the extent such cost, charge, expense, liability, Loss or damage has been found by a final non‑appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of its or his own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or unlawful conduct; or

(b)
be liable to account to the Company or any other person for anything in connection with this Deed except (after Payment in Full) the Collateral Agent's or Receiver's own actual receipts which have not been paid or distributed to the Company or to any other person who at the time of payment the Collateral Agent or Receiver as the case may be was entitled thereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver shall by virtue of this Clause 0 (20.          Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER) owe any duty of care or other duty to any person which it would not owe absent this Clause 0 (20.          Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER).
20.2           Without prejudice to Clause 0 (20. Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER), so far as permitted by law the entry into possession of any of the Charged Assets (including by an Administrator) shall not render the Collateral Agent or any Receiver liable to account as mortgagee in possession or to be liable for any Loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might otherwise be liable in respect of any of the Charged Assets; and if the Collateral Agent or any Receiver takes possession of the Charged Assets, it or he may at any time relinquish such possession. In particular without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Collateral Agent shall not become liable as mortgagee in possession by reason of viewing the state of repair or repairing any of the Company's Assets.
20.3           The preceding provisions of this Clause 0 (20. Protection of Collateral Agent and RECEIVER) applying to the Collateral Agent or any Receiver shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Delegate and to any officer, employee or agent of the Collateral Agent, any Receiver and any Delegate.

25.
THIRD PARTIES
Except as otherwise provided in this Deed, a person who is not a party to this Deed has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Deed but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

Except as expressly permitted by the LC Credit Agreement, no Intercompany Lender shall (i) acquire any Lien on any asset of any Intercompany Borrower or (ii) accept any guaranties from any other Company or from any other Subsidiary of any Obligor in each case with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness.

Until Payment in Full has occurred in accordance with the terms of the LC Credit Agreement, no Intercompany Lender will (a) accelerate, make demand, or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original due date thereof any Subordinated Indebtedness; (b) bring, commence, institute, prosecute, or participate in any lawsuit, action, or proceeding, whether private, judicial, equitable, administrative, or otherwise to enforce its rights or interests, or otherwise take any remedy, in each case in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness; (c) exercise any of its rights or remedies under or with respect to guaranties of the Subordinated Indebtedness, if any; (d) exercise any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Subordinated Indebtedness with respect to any Collateral of any Intercompany Borrower; (e) exercise any right to set-off, recoupment or counterclaim in respect of any indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations of Intercompany Lender to any Intercompany Borrower against any of the Subordinated Indebtedness; (f) in its capacity as an Intercompany Lender, contest, protest, or object to any exercise of secured creditor remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Senior Debt Holders (as defined below), in each case in connection with the Senior Obligations; (g) object to or contest any forbearance in respect of the Senior Obligations by the Administrative Agent or any Senior Debt Holders; (h) object to  or contest any waiver of, or amendment to, the terms of the LC Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents entered into by the Administrative Agent of any Senior Debt Holders; or (i) commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor other than the Administrative Agent or any Lender in commencing, any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below) against any Intercompany Borrower.
2.          Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.  Upon any distribution of assets of any Intercompany Borrower in the event of (a) any Insolvency Proceeding, or (b) any assignment for the benefit of creditors in connection with, or in lieu of, an Insolvency Proceeding or any marshalling of assets and liabilities of any such Intercompany Borrower in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding (an Intercompany Borrower distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to as a “Distributing Company”), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Obligations (each, a “Senior Debt Holder”), Payment in Full under the LC Credit Agreement before the holder of any Subordinated Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness owed to it by the Distributing Company, and, to that end, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the LC Credit Agreement, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or such an Event of Default would result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, so long as any of any Senior Obligations shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any Company on account of principal or interest on any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

If, while any Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and before Payment in Full has occurred in accordance with the terms of the LC Credit Agreement, any Insolvency Proceeding shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Company or its property:  (a) the Administrative Agent hereby is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of the Company or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect, and receive every payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subordinated Indebtedness) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent (or any Senior Debt Holders) under any of the Loan Documents; and (b) each Company shall promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (i) to collect the Subordinated Indebtedness for the account of the Senior Debt Holders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (ii) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as it may reasonably request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, and (iii) to collect and receive any and all any payments or distributions of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

3.          Payment Permitted if No Default.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Companies at any time, except during the pendency of any of the applicable conditions described in Section 2, from making payments of principal or interest on any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or the retention thereof by any of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness.

4.          Receipt of Prohibited Payments.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 2 and 3, an Intercompany Lender shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from an Intercompany Borrower of any kind or character (whether in cash, property or securities) in violation of this Agreement, then such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Senior Debt Holders, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Intercompany Lender, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied to (in the case of cash), or held as collateral for (in the case of noncash property or securities), the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the LC Credit Agreement.

5.          Rights of Subrogation.  Each Company agrees that no payment or distribution to any Senior Debt Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until Payment in Full has occurred in accordance with the LC Credit Facility.

6.          Additional Subsidiaries.  WIL-Ireland may, from time to time, cause certain of its subsidiaries to become a Company under this Agreement and to be bound hereby.  Upon execution and delivery by any such subsidiary of a supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, such subsidiary shall become a “Company” hereunder with, at all times after such counterpart signature page is delivered, the same force and effect as if originally named as a Company hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Company hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Company as a party to this Agreement.

7.          Continuing Force and Effect.  This Agreement shall continue in force until payment in full of the Senior Obligations, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a continuing nature.  The subordinations, agreements and priorities set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, including the relative rights of the parties hereto in or to any distribution from or in respect of any Collateral or any proceeds thereof.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.          Reinstatement.  This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (and the amount of Senior Debt shall be reinstated), as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Senior Debt shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Senior Debt Holder, whether as a result of an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise.

9.          Modification, Amendments or Waivers.  Any and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement shall be made only by written agreement, waiver or consent signed by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, modified, waived or released with respect to any Company solely with the approval of such Company and without the approval of any other Company and without affecting the obligations of any other party hereto.

9.          Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

10.          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and the obligations of each Company shall be binding upon their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by the different parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

12.          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

13.          Conflicts with Subordinated Indebtedness Documents.  In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and any documents or instruments in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, on the other hand, then the terms of this Agreement shall control.

14.          Conflicts with LC Credit Agreement.  In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and any of the terms and provisions of the LC Credit Agreement, on the other hand, then the terms and provisions of the LC Credit Agreement shall control.

c. No Duties of Senior Representative; Provision of Notice.
i.          Each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that none of the Senior Collateral Agents, the Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall have any duties or other obligations to such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party with respect to any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, other than to transfer to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent any proceeds of any such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral remaining in its possession or under its control following any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral (in each case, unless the Junior Secured Obligations have been Discharged prior to or concurrently with such sale, transfer, disposition, payment or satisfaction) and the Discharge of the Senior Secured Obligations secured thereby, or if a Senior Collateral Agent shall be in possession or control of all or any part of such Collateral after such payment and satisfaction in full and termination, such Collateral or any part thereof remaining, in each case without representation or warranty on the part of any Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors.

Each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that if, at any time, it receives notice or obtains actual knowledge that all or part of any payment with respect to any Senior Secured Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral and shall promptly turn over any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral then held by it over to the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the payment and satisfaction in full of the Senior Secured Obligations.
iii.          Prior to the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations, if any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party holds any Lien on any assets of the Parent or any other Grantor securing any Junior Claims that are intended to secure the Senior Claims pursuant to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents but are not already subject to a senior Lien in favor of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, upon demand by any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, will assign such Lien to the applicable Senior Representative, at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, as security for such Senior Secured Obligations (in which case the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may retain a junior Lien on such assets subject to the terms hereof).
e. Automatic Release of Junior Liens.
i.          The LC Collateral Agent and each other LC Secured Party agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral in connection with the foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral that results in the release by the Notes Collateral Agent of the Lien held by the Notes Collateral Agent on such Notes Priority Collateral, the Lien held by the LC Collateral Agent on such Notes Priority Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all holders of the LC Obligations shall be entitled to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition under this clause (a) that remain after Discharge of the Notes Obligations, and the Liens on such remaining proceeds securing the LC Obligations shall not be automatically released pursuant to this Section 2.05(a).
ii.          The Notes Collateral Agent and each other Notes Secured Party agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any LC Priority Collateral in connection with the foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to such LC Priority Collateral that results in the release by the LC Collateral Agent of the Lien held by the LC Collateral Agent on such LC Priority Collateral, the Lien held by the Notes Collateral Agent on such LC Priority Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all holders of the Notes Obligations shall be entitled to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition under this clause (b) that remain after Discharge of all LC Obligations, and the Liens on such remaining proceeds securing the Notes Obligations shall not be automatically released pursuant to this Section 2.05(b).
iii.          In the event of a Default Disposition, the Liens of Junior Collateral Agent shall be automatically released so long as (i) such Default Disposition is conducted by the applicable Grantor(s) in a commercially reasonable manner (as if such Default Disposition were a disposition of collateral by a secured party in accordance with the UCC or similar law under the applicable jurisdiction) and in accordance with applicable law, (ii) Senior Collateral Agent also releases its Liens on such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral and (iii) the net cash proceeds of any such Default Disposition are applied in accordance with Section 2.1(a) hereof (as if they were proceeds received in connection with an enforcement action).

Upon delivery to each Junior Collateral Agent of a notice from the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent stating that any release of Liens securing or supporting the Senior Secured Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Junior Collateral Agent’s release), each Junior Collateral Agent will promptly execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) such instruments, releases, terminations statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms.
f. Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
i.          This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law by or against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “Subordination Agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to the Parent or any other Grantor shall include such Parent or Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver, trustee, liquidator (whether provisional or permanent, as the case may be) or court-appointed officer for such person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
ii.          If the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under any Debtor Relief Law:
1.          if the Notes Collateral Agent desires to permit debtor-in-possession financing (“DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral, to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws), then the LC Collateral Agent and the LC Secured Parties hereby agree to consent to and not to object to any such financing or to the Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Notes Priority Collateral, unless the Notes Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes Notes Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Notes Priority Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, each LC Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Notes Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any LC Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and to any “carve out” for the payment of professional fees, clerk fees, and United States trustee fees (or any other administration charge, directors’ and officers’ charge or similar court ordered priority charge under applicable Debtor Relief Laws) and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Notes Priority Collateral granted to secure the Notes Obligations of the Notes Secured Parties, each LC Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral as set forth herein, in each case so long as (A) the Notes Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Notes Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding (other than any Liens constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and/or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the LC Secured Parties are granted junior Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Notes Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Notes Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any Notes Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the LC Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien (i) to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral that shall not constitute Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) in respect of any additional Collateral that would not constitute Notes Priority Collateral hereunder were it pledged for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties pursuant to the Notes Security Documents to any Notes Secured Party as adequate protection, for use of cash collateral, or otherwise, as set forth in clause (B) above; and
2.          if the LC Collateral Agent desires to permit a DIP Financing secured by a Lien on LC Priority Collateral, to be provided by DIP Lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws)  or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws), then the Notes Collateral Agent  and the Notes Secured Parties hereby agree not to object to any such financing or to the DIP Financing Liens on the LC Priority Collateral securing the same or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral, unless the LC Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties, each Notes Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such LC Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the LC Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Notes Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and to any “carve out” for the payment of professional fees, clerk fees, and United States trustee fees (or any other administration charge, directors’ and officers’ charge or similar court-ordered priority charge under applicable Debtor Relief Laws), and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral granted to secure the LC Obligations of the LC Secured Parties, each Notes Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such LC Priority Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Notes Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such LC Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding (other than any Liens constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and/or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the Notes Secured Parties are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any LC Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the LC Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and (D) if any LC Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the Notes Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien (i) to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral that shall not constitute LC Priority Collateral and (ii) in respect of any additional Collateral that would not constitute LC Priority Collateral hereunder were it pledged for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties pursuant to the LC Security Documents to any LC Facility Secured Party as adequate protection, for use of cash collateral, or otherwise, as set forth in clause (B) above).
3.          No Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party will directly or indirectly propose or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior or prior to the Liens of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral unless such DIP Financing provides for the Discharge of the Senior Secured Obligations.
iii.          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will  not object to and will not otherwise contest: (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations made by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party; (ii) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Claims in any sale of Collateral that is Senior Secured Obligations Collateral with respect to such Senior Claims; (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral; (iv) and will consent to any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent action under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or disposition (or related order) of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral if such sale or other disposition is not free and clear of the Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations or (v) any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other equivalent provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other provision under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented, and the related court order provides that, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and the Junior Secured Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing such Obligations on the assets being sold, in accordance with this Agreement.
iv.          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) with respect to Senior Secured Obligations Collateral without the prior consent of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, unless, and solely to the extent that, the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall obtain relief from the automatic stay (or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) with respect to such collateral to commence a lien enforcement action.
v.          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not, other than as set forth in Section 2.06(b), object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting): (i) any request by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for adequate protection; provided that (1) any Notes Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from Notes Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(i) or the proceeds thereof and (2) any LC Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from LC Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(ii)  or the proceeds thereof or (ii) any objection by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), on the same basis as the other Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (y) in the event the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agree that the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Secured Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (z) any adequate protection granted in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws)  (collectively, “Senior 507(b) Claims”) shall be senior to and have priority of payment over any superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws) in favor of any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party (collectively, “Junior 507(b) Claims”). The holders of the Junior 507(b) Claims agree that, in connection with any Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such Junior 507(b) Claims may be paid in any combination of cash, securities, or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such Junior 507(b) Claims as of the effective date of such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the Notes Secured Parties and LC Secured Parties, all Senior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Senior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class, and all Junior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Junior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class.
vi.          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for allowance of Senior Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to such a claim shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.1(a).
vii.          The LC Collateral Agent, on behalf of the LC Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that the grants of Liens pursuant to the LC Security Documents, on the one hand, and the Notes Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the LC Obligations are fundamentally different from the Notes Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Notes Obligations and LC Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Notes Priority Collateral or the LC Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the Notes Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses that are available from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Claims with respect to such Collateral, with the holder of such Junior Claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries). Additionally, to further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this subsection, if it is held that the claims of any of the LC Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Notes Secured Parties, on the other hand, constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to vote to reject such plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan unless  LC Secured Parties greater than half in number and holding greater than two-thirds in amount of the LC Obligations agree to accept such plan or such plan provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations. The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees it shall not object to or contest (or support any other party in objection or contesting) a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan on the grounds that the LC Obligations and Notes Obligations are classified separately.  The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither it nor any other Notes Secured Party shall support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor unless the plan of reorganization is accepted by the LC Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations on the effective date of such plan of reorganization.  Except as provided herein, the Notes Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
viii.          If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (or any form of Court-sanctioned restructuring permitted under any applicable law), both on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then each of the LC Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent for themselves and on behalf of their respective Secured Parties agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any Collateral (including assets that would constitute Collateral but for such determination) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct in order to comply with the priority provisions set forth in Section 2.01
ix.          Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), 2.04(a) and 2.06(b), (c) (e) and (f) or otherwise, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims, including, without limitation, the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against any Grantor in accordance with applicable law (including the Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction); provided that, the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may not take any of the actions that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, such actions prohibited by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.06(b), (c), (e) and (f); provided further, that in the event that any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Senior Secured Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
g. Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the Senior Secured Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under any Debtor Relief Law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Senior Secured Obligations shall again have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
h. [Reserved].
i. Insurance.  Unless and until the Notes Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the Notes Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Notes Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Notes Priority Collateral.  Unless and until the LC Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the LC Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting LC Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding solely affecting the LC Priority Collateral.  To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes Notes Priority Collateral and LC Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Obligations Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.
j. Refinancings.  Each of the Notes Obligations and the LC Obligations and the agreements governing them may be Refinanced, in each case without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, as in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended in accordance with the terms hereof) of, any Notes Secured Party or any LC Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing (to the extent they are not already so bound) to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and such other Refinancing documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Applicable Senior Collateral Agent.  In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.10, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Parent, and without the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit such Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, and other than the consent of each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, whose consent shall still be required to the extent set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence) of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any LC Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any LC Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any Notes Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing.  Any such additional party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Parent that such modifications do not violate the Notes Documents or the LC Documents if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Parent and the Grantors have complied with their undertakings in any such document or this Agreement.  In connection with the delivery of a joinder as set forth above, the Parent shall deliver an officer’s certificate to each Collateral Agent certifying that the Refinancing, including the incurrence of indebtedness and the incurrence of liens in respect thereof, qualifies as a Refinancing as defined herein.
k. Amendments to Security Documents.
i.          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Notes Collateral Agent, no LC Security Document to which such LC Collateral Agent or LC Secured Party is party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new LC Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
ii.          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the LC Collateral Agent and each LC Collateral Agent, no Notes Security Document to which the Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Secured Parties are party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new Notes Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
iii.          In the event that any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, the Grantors thereunder (including the release of any Liens in the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Collateral Agent or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Collateral Agent, any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, the Parent or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties or the interests of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Collateral and not the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Parent to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent.
iv.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties hereby agree that they will not amend or otherwise modify the provisions of the LC Documents or the Notes Documents related to the Refinancing or payment of any Obligations (including ordinary course payments) in a manner that makes them more restrictive to Grantors or otherwise prohibits or restricts a Refinancing or payment permitted under the LC Documents or Notes Documents as in effect on the date hereof.
l. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
i.          Each Possessory Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for, or, as applicable, on trust for, the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the Notes Security Documents or the LC Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.  To the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered to) the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same.  Pending such delivery to the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Notes Security Documents or LC Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.
ii.          The duties or responsibilities of each Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.12 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.
iii.          Upon the Discharge of all LC Obligations, the LC Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Notes Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  No LC Collateral Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
iv.          Upon the Discharge of all Notes Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver to the LC Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the LC Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow instructions from any LC Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
m. Control Agreements. The LC Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as collateral agent of the Notes Secured Parties under each control agreement solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien of the Notes Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control. The Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes  Secured Parties, hereby appoints the LC Collateral Agent to act as its collateral agent under each such control agreement, as applicable. The duties or responsibilities of the LC Collateral Agent under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to acting as agent for the benefit of each Notes Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control, in each case prior to the Discharge of all LC Obligations
n. Rights under Permits and Licenses. The LC Collateral Agent agrees that if the Notes Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the LC Collateral Agent (as certified to the LC Collateral Agent by the Notes Collateral Agent, upon which the LC Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any Notes Priority Collateral, the LC Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the LC Documents, including the LC Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the Notes Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the LC Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties.  The Notes Collateral Agent agrees that if the LC Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the Notes Collateral Agent (as certified to the Notes Collateral Agent by the LC Collateral Agent, upon which the Notes Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any LC Priority Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the Notes Documents, including such Notes Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the LC Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the LC Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties.

Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations
Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Senior Secured Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations) or Junior Secured Obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may, acting reasonably, request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that, if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Parent. Each Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Parent or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.
(g)


Consent of Grantors
Each Grantor hereby consents to the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor arrangements provided for herein and agrees that the obligations of the Grantors under the Notes Security Documents, the LC Security Documents or the Foreign Collateral Documents will in no way be diminished or otherwise affected by such provisions or arrangements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor incorporated in Norway shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of sections 8-7 and/or 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 regarding restrictions on a Norwegian limited liability company’s ability to grant guarantees, loans, security or other financial assistance.

(i)


Collateral Agency for Foreign Collateral
a. Appointment of Foreign Collateral Agent.  It is acknowledged that, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United State of America, applicable law prevents both the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent from obtaining liens on the Collateral. In such circumstances, solely for Foreign Collateral, the parties hereto agree that with effect as of the resignation of the Preceding Foreign Collateral Agent (i) the LC Collateral Agent, who may appoint any sub-agent in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Notes Collateral Agent to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any LC Priority Collateral, (ii) the Notes Collateral Agent, or any sub-agent that it may in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the LC Collateral Agent designate to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral, and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Foreign Collateral Agent is permitted to hold Liens on such Foreign Collateral in trust for the Secured Parties notwithstanding the inability of any other Collateral Agent to hold similar Liens. In recognition of the foregoing, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the “collateral agent” under any Foreign Collateral Documents, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), and each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the agent of such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Foreign Collateral, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), granted by any of the Grantors to secure any of the Notes Obligations or LC Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Foreign Collateral Documents or supplements to existing Foreign Collateral Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Foreign Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Foreign Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Foreign Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under this agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Foreign Collateral Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Foreign Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
b. Rights as a Secured Party.  The Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Foreign Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” (or, as applicable, Notes Secured Party or LC Secured Party) shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Grantor or any Grantor’s Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.
c. Exculpatory Provisions.
i.          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Foreign Collateral Documents to which Foreign Collateral Agent is a party, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Foreign Collateral Agent:
1.          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents has occurred and is continuing;
2.          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (though it hereby is authorized to take such actions in its Permitted Discretion), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Foreign Collateral Documents that the Foreign Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Controlling Parties; provided that the Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith, based upon the advice of counsel or upon the written opinion of its counsel, may expose the Foreign Collateral Agent to liability, or for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or that is contrary to any Foreign Collateral Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
3.          shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Foreign Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.
ii.          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Controlling Parties or (ii) in the absence of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents unless and until written notice describing such default or Event of Default is given to the Foreign Collateral Agent by the Grantors, LC Collateral Agent, or Notes Collateral Agent.
iii.          The Foreign Collateral 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 or any other Foreign Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Foreign Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document.
d. Reliance by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Foreign Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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 written advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
e. Delegation of Duties.
i.          The Foreign Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Foreign Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article VI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the Foreign Collateral.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Foreign Collateral Agent acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the selection of such sub agents.
ii.          Should any instrument in writing from any Grantor be required by any sub-agent appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such sub-agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Grantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  If any such sub-agent, or successor thereto, shall resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such sub-agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Foreign Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new sub-agent. All references in this Agreement or in any other Foreign Collateral Document to any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted or delivered in favour of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall include any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted to any sub-agent of the Foreign Collateral Agent
f. Resignation of Foreign Collateral Agent.
i.          The Foreign Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Representatives and the Grantors.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting through their Collateral Agents, shall have the right (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any LC Document or Notes Document at the time of such resignation) to appoint a successor, which shall be as jointly designated by Notes Collateral Agent and LC Collateral Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Representatives) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
ii.          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Foreign Collateral Agent is appointed but in any event, no more than sixty (60) days following the Resignation Effective Date) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Foreign Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Representative directly, until such time, if any, the relevant Collateral Agents appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent), and the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Foreign Collateral Documents.  After the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent was acting as Foreign Collateral Agent.
g. Non-Reliance on Foreign Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties.  Each Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its related parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the LC Documents, and the Notes Documents, as applicable.  Each Collateral Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or its related parties and based on such documents and 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, any Foreign Collateral Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
h. Collateral Matters.
Each of the Collateral Agents irrevocably authorize the Foreign Collateral Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion;to release any Lien or any other claim on any Foreign Collateral granted to or held by the Foreign Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Foreign Collateral Document (A) upon the Discharge of the Notes Obligations and the Discharge of the LC Obligations, as applicable, in which case such Lien shall only be released with respect to the Obligations so Discharged; (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents and LC Documents or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 6.08(b).
i.          Upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent at any time, the Controlling Parties will confirm in writing the Foreign Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or take any other action necessary to administer the Foreign Collateral.  In each case, as specified in this Section 6.08, the Foreign Collateral Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor such documents as such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Foreign Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Grantor from its obligations under the Foreign Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
ii.          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Foreign Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Foreign Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Grantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Foreign Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Foreign Collateral.
i. Discretionary Rights.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may:
i.          assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary from the Collateral Agents) that (i) no default or Event of Default  has occurred and no Grantor is in breach of or default under its obligations under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents, or LC Documents, and (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested by any Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents, or LC Documents in any person has not been exercised;
ii.          if it receives any instructions or directions to take any action in relation to the Foreign Collateral, assume that all applicable conditions under this Agreement, LC Documents and Notes Documents for taking that action have been satisfied;
iii.          engage and pay for the advice or services of accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts and a single legal counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (in addition to the Foreign Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel);
iv.          without prejudice for the generality of paragraph (c) above, at any time engage and pay for the services of a single additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction to act as independent counsel to the Foreign Collateral Agent (in addition to the Foreign Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel) (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the other Secured Parties) if the Foreign Collateral Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying on the advice or services of any professional engaged under this Section 6.09; and
v.          refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Secured Party or Controlling Party (including bringing any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Collateral Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its reasonable discretion require which may be greater in extent than that contained for the benefit of any Representative in the Notes Documents or LC Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of any Notes Documents or LC Documents to the contrary, the Foreign Collateral Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
j. Indemnification of Foreign Collateral Agent.
i.          The Secured Parties (other than the LC Australian Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent within three Business Days of demand, and keep the Foreign Collateral Agent indemnified against any demands, damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities made against or incurred by it in acting as Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Foreign Collateral Documents, the LC Documents, or the Notes Documents (provided that any indemnification obligations arising solely due to the instructions of a Controlling Party shall be borne solely by the Class represented by such Controlling Party), unless the Foreign Collateral Agent (i) has been reimbursed by a Grantor pursuant to any of the Foreign Collateral Documents or (ii) such liabilities, losses, demands, damages, expenses or costs are incurred by or made against the Foreign Collateral Agent as a result of willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment. The Grantors hereby jointly and severally indemnify the Secured Parties against any payment made by them under this Section 6.10(a) and agree that any payments made by or costs attributable to any Notes Secured Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the Notes Obligations and any payments made by or costs attributable to any LC Secured Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the LC Obligations.
ii.          The Grantors covenant and agree that they shall defend and be jointly and severally liable to reimburse and indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent (and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (“Foreign Collateral Agent Related Persons”)) for any and all reasonable expenses and other charges actually incurred by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents (or any of them) and from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, actual reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Foreign Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Foreign Collateral Document, or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, in each case, except to the extent caused by the Foreign Collateral Agent’s or the Foreign Collateral Agent Related Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment.
iii.          The obligations under this Section 6.10 shall survive the Discharge of the Notes Obligations, the Discharge of the LC Obligations, the resignation of any Foreign Collateral Agent, and termination of this Agreement and all of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
(d)          Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.10, the Grantors shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse any Person for any Taxes unless such Taxes would be subject to indemnification or reimbursement under the LC Credit Agreement or Notes Indenture.
k. Treatment of Proceeds of Foreign Collateral.
i.          All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of any Foreign Collateral Document or in connection with the realization or enforcement of all or any part of the Foreign Collateral (the “Foreign Recoveries”) shall be held by the Foreign Collateral Agent in trust and applied, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the following order:
First, in discharging any sums owing to the Foreign Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such), including (i) amounts owing to Foreign Collateral Agent to indemnify Foreign Collateral Agent for claims against it or claims that, in the reasonable discretion of Foreign Collateral Agent, may be asserted against Foreign Collateral Agent and are subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and (ii) any deductions and withholdings (on account of taxes or otherwise) which Foreign Collateral Agent is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement and to pay all taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Foreign Collateral Agent (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement); provided that any Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is LC Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Foreign Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the LC Secured Parties and Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is Notes Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Foreign Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the Notes Secured Parties;
Second, to the Representatives to be applied in accordance with Section 2.01(a) hereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, following acceleration of any of the Notes Obligations or the LC Obligations, Foreign Collateral Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, hold any amount of the Foreign Recoveries (subject to the proviso set forth in subclause “first” above) in a non-interest bearing account(s) in the name of the Foreign Collateral Agent with such financial institution as it may select (including itself) and for so long as the Foreign Collateral Agent shall think appropriate in its Permitted Discretion for later application as set forth herein in respect of any sum owing to the Foreign Collateral Agent that the Foreign Collateral Agent reasonably considers might become due or owing at any time in the future.
l. Currency Conversion. The Foreign Collateral Agent is under no obligation to make the payments to the Secured Parties above in the same currency as that in which the obligations and liabilities owing to the Secured Parties are denominated. To the extent any payment from Foreign Collateral Agent to a Representative causes a currency conversion, the provisions of the Notes Documents or the LC Documents (as applicable, based on the Representative receiving payment) relating to currency conversions shall apply.
m. Swiss Collateral.
i.          In relation to Foreign Collateral which is subject to a security document governed by Swiss law, the LC Collateral Agent in its capacity as Foreign Collateral Agent shall:
1.          hold and administer any non-accessory Collateral (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and
2.          hold and administer any accessory Collateral (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties.
ii.          The LC Collateral Agent in its capacity as Foreign Collateral Agent shall be empowered to:
1.          exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Foreign Collateral Agent under the relevant security documents governed by Swiss law together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
2.          take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in  accordance with the relevant Foreign Collateral Documents governed by Swiss law; and
3.          accept, enter into and execute, as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of any Secured Party under Swiss law in connection with the Notes Documents and/or the LC Documents and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any security document governed by Swiss law which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral, all subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
n. Scottish Collateral.
i.          The Foreign Collateral Agent declares that it holds on trust for the Secured Parties, on the terms contained in this Article VI: (i) the Foreign Collateral expressed to be subject to the Liens created in favor of the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties by or pursuant to each Foreign Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland, and all proceeds of that Foreign Collateral; (ii) all obligations expressed to be undertaken by any Grantor to pay amounts in respect of the Obligations to the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties and secured by any Foreign Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland together with all representations and warranties expressed to be given by any Grantor or any other person in favour of the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties; and (iii) any other amounts or property, whether rights, entitlements, choses in action or otherwise, actual or contingent, which the Foreign Collateral Agent is required by the terms of the Notes Documents or the LC Documents to hold as trustee on trust for the Secured Parties.
ii.          Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article VI, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably authorizes the Foreign Collateral Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Foreign Collateral Agent as trustee for the Secured Parties under or in connection with the Notes Documents and the LC Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Foreign Collateral Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Secured Parties shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Foreign Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.
o. Benefits of Foreign Collateral Agent
The provisions of this Article VI granting rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities to the LC Collateral Agent or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, when acting as Foreign Collateral Agent, are intended to be in addition to, and shall not impair, the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to the LC Collateral Agent and Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the LC Documents and Notes Documents, as the case may be.

l. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in relation to one another.  None of the Grantors shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 2.11, Article V and Article VI) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Notes Documents or any LC Documents), and none of the Grantors may rely on the terms hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair or relieve the obligations of the Grantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting (a) pursuant to this Agreement or any LC Obligations Document with respect to any Notes Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any Notes Document, or (b) pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Document with respect to any LC Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any LC Obligations Document.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this agreement shall apply to the Notes Secured Parties solely in their capacity as Notes Secured Parties and not in any other capacity.
m. Agent Capacities.  Except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Notes Collateral Agent, nor the LC Collateral Agent (including the LC Australian Collateral Agent), shall have (i) any duties or obligations in respect of any of the Collateral, all of such duties and obligations, if any, being subject to and governed by the Notes Documents and the LC Documents, as the case may be, or (ii) any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Secured Party or for any other Secured Party’s compliance with (or failure to comply with) the terms of this Agreement.  Neither the Notes Collateral Agent, nor the LC Collateral Agent (including the LC Australian Collateral Agent) shall have individual liability to any Person if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to any Secured Party (or Grantor) any amounts in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so long as such Person is acting in good faith and without willful misconduct.  Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the LC Australian Collateral only at the direction of the LC Administrative Agent.
n. Supplements.  Upon the execution by any Subsidiary of Parent of a supplement hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agents, such subsidiary shall be a party to this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions hereof to the same extent as each Grantor are so bound.  The Parent shall cause any Subsidiary that becomes a Grantor to execute and deliver such supplement.
o. Collateral Agent Rights, Protections and Immunities.
In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the LC Collateral Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to the “Administrative Agent” and its respective sub-agents under the LC Credit Agreement, all of which are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to the “Collateral Agent” under the Notes Indenture, all of which are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.  In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections and immunities granted to the “LC Australian Collateral Agent” under the LC Australian Security Trust Deed.
p. Other Junior Intercreditor Agreements.
In addition, in the event that the Parent or any Subsidiary incurs any obligations secured by a lien on any Collateral that is junior to the LC Obligations or the  Notes Obligations, then the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent shall enter into an intercreditor agreement (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) with the agent or trustee for the secured parties with respect to such secured obligation to reflect the relative lien priorities of such parties with respect to the Collateral and governing the relative rights, benefits and privileges as among such parties in respect of the Collateral, including as to application of proceeds of the Collateral, voting rights, control of the Collateral and waivers with respect to the Collateral, in each case so long as such secured obligations are permitted under, and the terms of such intercreditor agreement do not violate or conflict with, the provisions of this Agreement or the other Notes Documents or LC Documents, as the case may be.  Each party hereto agrees that the Notes Secured Parties (as among themselves) and the LC Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the Notes Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, as the case may be, in respect of the Collateral, this Agreement and the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to the application of proceeds of the Collateral, voting rights, control of the Collateral and waivers with respect to the Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or the other applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be. If any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is entered into, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other Notes Document or LC Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Notes Documents and LC Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).
q. Additional Grantors.
Promptly upon request by any Collateral Agent, any Person that becomes a Grantor after the date hereof will provide to the Collateral Agents a fully signed acknowledgement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, consenting to the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor arrangements provided for herein; provided that no failure on the part of any Collateral Agent to request or obtain such acknowledgement will in any way diminish or impair any of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.
r. Joinder of LC Australian Collateral Agent.
Substantially concurrently with its entry into the LC Australian Security Trust Deed, BTA Institutional Services Australia Limited shall, without requiring the consent of any other party hereto, join to this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
s.  Purchase Right.
i.          Without prejudice to the enforcement of the LC Secured Parties’ rights and remedies, the LC Secured Parties agree that following the occurrence of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the LC Obligations in accordance with the terms of the LC Documents, (ii) any enforcement action by any LC Secured Party with respect to any material portion of the Collateral, (iii) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or (iv) any bankruptcy or payment default under the Notes Indenture (each such event, a “Purchase Option Event”), then some or all of the Notes Secured Parties shall have the right to elect to purchase all but not less than all of the outstanding LC Obligations, at par, without regard to any prepayment penalty or premium and without warranty, representation or recourse, for the Purchase Price (defined below); provided, with respect to any LC Obligations constituting Bank Product Obligations, at the time of any such purchase pursuant to this Section 7.19, the Bank Product Obligations shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms. The participating Notes Secured Parties shall irrevocably exercise each such purchase right by delivery of written notice of their intent to purchase the LC Obligations to the LC Collateral Agent at any time following the Purchase Option Event; provided, unless the LC Collateral Agent otherwise consents, such written notice must be received by the LC Collateral Agent no later than the earlier to occur of (A) 10 Business Days after the LC Collateral Agent delivers to the Notes Trustee written notice of the occurrence of any Purchase Option Event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or (B) if any bankruptcy or payment default under the Notes Indenture has occurred and is continuing, 10 Business Days after LC Collateral Agent delivers written notice to the Notes Trustee that the LC Facility Secured Parties desire to sell or assign the LC Obligations and are actively seeking to identify one or more Persons to purchase and acquire its LC Obligations from such LC Facility Secured Parties.  The parties shall close such purchase and sale within 20 Business Days (or such shorter time as reasonably specified by the participating Notes Secured Parties in such notice) after such delivery of such notice.  To the extent that more than one Notes Secured Party elects to purchase the LC Obligations in accordance with this Section 7.19, unless otherwise agreed upon by such Notes Secured Parties electing to purchase the LC Obligations, such Notes Secured Parties shall purchase all of the LC Obligations in accordance with this Section 7.19 on a ratable basis based on their outstanding Notes Obligations.
ii.          On the date of such purchase and sale (the “Purchase Date”), the participating Notes Secured Parties shall (i) pay to LC Collateral Agent (on behalf of all LC Facility Secured Parties) as the purchase price therefor, the full amount of all the LC Obligations (other than LC Obligations cash collateralized in accordance with clause (b)(ii) below) then outstanding and unpaid, and (ii) furnish cash collateral to the LC Collateral Agent in such amounts as the LC Collateral Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the LC Secured Parties in connection with any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit (as defined in the LC Credit Agreement) (but not in any event in an amount greater than (I) 105% of the face amount of letters of credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars and (II) 103% of the face amount with respect to letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars.  Such purchase price and cash collateral (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the LC Collateral Agent as the LC Collateral Agent may designate in writing to the participating Notes Secured Parties for such purpose.  Interest shall be calculated to but exclude the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur.
iii.          Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the LC Secured Parties as to the LC Obligations or LC Documents so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to any LC Secured Party; except that each LC Secured Party shall represent and warrant:  (i) the amount of the LC Obligations being purchased from such LC Secured Party, (ii) that such LC Secured Party owns the LC Obligations free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) that such LC Secured Party has the right to assign such LC Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.
iv.          In the event that the participating Notes Secured Parties exercise and consummate the purchase option set forth in this Section 7.19, (i) LC Collateral Agent and any other agent under the LC Documents shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the LC Documents, and (ii) the participating Notes Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require LC Collateral Agent and such other agent to immediately resign under the LC Documents.
v.          With respect to any cash collateral held under Section 7.4(b)(ii) above, after giving effect to any payment made and applied to amounts coming due with respect to any letters of credit (or termination thereof without a drawing thereon), the amount of any cash collateral then on deposit with the LC Collateral Agent with respect to such obligations which exceeds the sum of (x) 105% of the face amount of letters of credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars and (y) 103% of the face amount with respect to letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars, shall promptly be returned to the Notes Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Notes Secured Parties).
vi.          For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any obligations to pay the purchase price or furnish cash collateral in connection with the exercise of the purchase option set forth herein shall be obligations of the participating Notes Secured Parties (and not the Notes Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Notes Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligations under this Section 7.19 except to the extent they are required to act in an administrative agent capacity for the applicable Notes Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Notes Documents.

(e)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not, other than as set forth in Section 2.06(b), object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting): (i) any request by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for adequate protection; provided that (1) any Notes Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from Notes Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(i) or the proceeds thereof and (2) any LC Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from LC Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(ii)  or the proceeds thereof or (ii) any objection by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), on the same basis as the other Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (y) in the event the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agree that the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Secured Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (z) any adequate protection granted in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws)  (collectively, “Senior 507(b) Claims”) shall be senior to and have priority of payment over any superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws) in favor of any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party (collectively, “Junior 507(b) Claims”). The holders of the Junior 507(b) Claims agree that, in connection with any Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such Junior 507(b) Claims may be paid in any combination of cash, securities, or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such Junior 507(b) Claims as of the
25

effective date of such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the Notes Secured Parties and LC Secured Parties, all Senior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Senior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class, and all Junior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Junior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class.
(f)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for allowance of Senior Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to such a claim shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.1(a).
(g)          The LC Collateral Agent, on behalf of the LC Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that the grants of Liens pursuant to the LC Security Documents, on the one hand, and the Notes Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the LC Obligations are fundamentally different from the Notes Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Notes Obligations and LC Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Notes Priority Collateral or the LC Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the Notes Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses that are available from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Claims with respect to such Collateral, with the holder of such Junior Claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries). Additionally, to further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this subsection, if it is held that the claims of any of the LC Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Notes Secured Parties, on the other hand, constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to vote to reject such plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan unless  LC Secured Parties
26

greater than half in number and holding greater than two-thirds in amount of the LC Obligations agree to accept such plan or such plan provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations. The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees it shall not object to or contest (or support any other party in objection or contesting) a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan on the grounds that the LC Obligations and Notes Obligations are classified separately.  The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither it nor any other Notes Secured Party shall support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor unless the plan of reorganization is accepted by the LC Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations on the effective date of such plan of reorganization.  Except as provided herein, the Notes Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(h)          If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (or any form of Court-sanctioned restructuring permitted under any applicable law), both on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then each of the LC Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent for themselves and on behalf of their respective Secured Parties agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any Collateral (including assets that would constitute Collateral but for such determination) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct in order to comply with the priority provisions set forth in Section 2.01
(i)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), 2.04(a) and 2.06(b), (c) (e) and (f) or otherwise, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims, including, without limitation, the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against any Grantor in accordance with applicable law (including the Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction); provided that, the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may not take any of the actions that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, such actions prohibited by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.06(b), (c), (e) and (f); provided further, that in the event that any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its
27

rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Senior Secured Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07          Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the Senior Secured Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under any Debtor Relief Law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Senior Secured Obligations shall again have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
SECTION 2.08          [Reserved].
SECTION 2.09          Insurance.  Unless and until the Notes Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the Notes Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Notes Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Notes Priority Collateral.  Unless and until the LC Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the LC Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting LC Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding solely affecting the LC Priority Collateral.  To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes Notes Priority Collateral and LC Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Obligations Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.
SECTION 2.10          Refinancings.  Each of the Notes Obligations and the LC Obligations and the agreements governing them may be Refinanced, in each case without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, as in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended in accordance with the terms hereof) of, any Notes Secured Party or any LC Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing (to the extent they are not already so bound) to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and such other Refinancing documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Applicable Senior Collateral Agent.  In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.10, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Parent, and without the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit such Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, and other than the consent of each Applicable Senior
28

Collateral Agent, whose consent shall still be required to the extent set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence) of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any LC Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any LC Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any Notes Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing.  Any such additional party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Parent that such modifications do not violate the Notes Documents or the LC Documents if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Parent and the Grantors have complied with their undertakings in any such document or this Agreement.  In connection with the delivery of a joinder as set forth above, the Parent shall deliver an officer’s certificate to each Collateral Agent certifying that the Refinancing, including the incurrence of indebtedness and the incurrence of liens in respect thereof, qualifies as a Refinancing as defined herein.
SECTION 2.11          Amendments to Security Documents.
(a)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Notes Collateral Agent, no LC Security Document to which such LC Collateral Agent or LC Secured Party is party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new LC Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the LC Collateral Agent and each LC Collateral Agent, no Notes Security Document to which the Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Secured Parties are party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new Notes Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(c)          In the event that any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, the Grantors thereunder (including the release of any Liens in the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Collateral Agent or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Collateral Agent, any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, the Parent or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely
29

affect the rights of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties or the interests of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Collateral and not the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Parent to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent.
(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties hereby agree that they will not amend or otherwise modify the provisions of the LC Documents or the Notes Documents related to the Refinancing or payment of any Obligations (including ordinary course payments) in a manner that makes them more restrictive to Grantors or otherwise prohibits or restricts a Refinancing or payment permitted under the LC Documents or Notes Documents as in effect on the date hereof.
SECTION 2.12          Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a)          Each Possessory Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for, or, as applicable, on trust for, the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the Notes Security Documents or the LC Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.  To the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered to) the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same.  Pending such delivery to the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Notes Security Documents or LC Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.
(b)          The duties or responsibilities of each Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.12 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.
(c)          Upon the Discharge of all LC Obligations, the LC Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Notes Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby
30

and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  No LC Collateral Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
(d)          Upon the Discharge of all Notes Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver to the LC Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the LC Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow instructions from any LC Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.13          Control Agreements. The LC Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as collateral agent of the Notes Secured Parties under each control agreement solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien of the Notes Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control. The Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes  Secured Parties, hereby appoints the LC Collateral Agent to act as its collateral agent under each such control agreement, as applicable. The duties or responsibilities of the LC Collateral Agent under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to acting as agent for the benefit of each Notes Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control, in each case prior to the Discharge of all LC Obligations
SECTION 2.14          Rights under Permits and Licenses. The LC Collateral Agent agrees that if the Notes Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the LC Collateral Agent (as certified to the LC Collateral Agent by the Notes Collateral Agent, upon which the LC Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any Notes Priority Collateral, the LC Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the LC Documents, including the LC Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the Notes Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the LC Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties.  The Notes Collateral Agent agrees that if the LC Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the Notes Collateral Agent (as certified to the Notes Collateral Agent by the LC Collateral Agent, upon which the Notes Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any LC Priority Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the Notes Documents, including such Notes Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the LC Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the LC Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties.

Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Senior Secured Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations) or Junior Secured Obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may, acting reasonably, request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that, if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Parent. Each Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Parent or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.
ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE VI

Collateral Agency for Foreign Collateral
SECTION 6.01          Appointment of Foreign Collateral Agent.  It is acknowledged that, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United State of America, applicable law prevents both the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent from obtaining liens on the Collateral. In such circumstances, solely for Foreign Collateral, the parties hereto agree that with effect as of the resignation of the Preceding Foreign Collateral Agent (i) the LC Collateral Agent, who may appoint any sub-agent in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Notes Collateral Agent to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any LC Priority Collateral, (ii) the Notes Collateral Agent, or any sub-agent that it may in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the LC Collateral Agent designate to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral, and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Foreign Collateral Agent is permitted to hold Liens on such Foreign Collateral in trust for the Secured Parties notwithstanding the inability of any other Collateral Agent to hold similar Liens. In recognition of the foregoing, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the “collateral agent” under any Foreign Collateral Documents, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), and each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the agent of such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Foreign Collateral, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), granted by any of the Grantors to secure any of the Notes Obligations or LC Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Foreign Collateral Documents or supplements to existing Foreign Collateral Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Foreign Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Foreign Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Foreign Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under this agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Foreign Collateral Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Foreign
33

Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 6.02          Rights as a Secured Party.  The Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Foreign Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” (or, as applicable, Notes Secured Party or LC Secured Party) shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Grantor or any Grantor’s Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.
SECTION 6.03          Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Foreign Collateral Documents to which Foreign Collateral Agent is a party, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Foreign Collateral Agent:
(i)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (though it hereby is authorized to take such actions in its Permitted Discretion), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Foreign Collateral Documents that the Foreign Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Controlling Parties; provided that the Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith, based upon the advice of counsel or upon the written opinion of its counsel, may expose the Foreign Collateral Agent to liability, or for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or that is contrary to any Foreign Collateral Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)          shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Foreign Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.
34

(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Controlling Parties or (ii) in the absence of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents unless and until written notice describing such default or Event of Default is given to the Foreign Collateral Agent by the Grantors, LC Collateral Agent, or Notes Collateral Agent.
(c)          The Foreign Collateral 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 or any other Foreign Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Foreign Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Representatives) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Foreign Collateral Agent is appointed but in any event, no more than sixty (60) days following the Resignation Effective Date) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Foreign Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Representative directly, until such time, if any, the relevant Collateral Agents appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent), and the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Foreign Collateral Documents.  After the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent was acting as Foreign Collateral Agent.

36

the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its related parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the LC Documents, and the Notes Documents, as applicable.  Each Collateral Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or its related parties and based on such documents and 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, any Foreign Collateral Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 6.08          Collateral Matters.
Each of the Collateral Agents irrevocably authorize the Foreign Collateral Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion;to release any Lien or any other claim on any Foreign Collateral granted to or held by the Foreign Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Foreign Collateral Document (A) upon the Discharge of the Notes Obligations and the Discharge of the LC Obligations, as applicable, in which case such Lien shall only be released with respect to the Obligations so Discharged; (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents and LC Documents or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 6.08(b).
(a)          Upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent at any time, the Controlling Parties will confirm in writing the Foreign Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or take any other action necessary to administer the Foreign Collateral.  In each case, as specified in this Section 6.08, the Foreign Collateral Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor such documents as such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Foreign Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Grantor from its obligations under the Foreign Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Foreign Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Foreign Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Grantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Foreign Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Foreign Collateral.
SECTION 6.09          Discretionary Rights.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may:
(a)          assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary from the Collateral Agents) that (i) no default or Event of Default  has occurred and no Grantor is in breach of or default under its obligations under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents, or LC Documents, and (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested by any
37

Notwithstanding any provision of any Notes Documents or LC Documents to the contrary, the Foreign Collateral Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c)          Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the LC Secured Parties as to the LC Obligations or LC Documents so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to any LC Secured Party; except that each LC Secured Party shall represent and warrant:  (i) the amount of the LC Obligations being purchased from such LC Secured Party, (ii) that such LC Secured Party owns the LC Obligations free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) that such LC Secured Party has the right to assign such LC Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.
(d)          In the event that the participating Notes Secured Parties exercise and consummate the purchase option set forth in this Section 7.19, (i) LC Collateral Agent and any other agent under the LC Documents shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the LC Documents, and (ii) the participating Notes Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require LC Collateral Agent and such other agent to immediately resign under the LC Documents.

(f)          For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any obligations to pay the purchase price or furnish cash collateral in connection with the exercise of the purchase option set forth herein shall be obligations of the participating Notes Secured Parties (and not the Notes Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Notes Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligations under this Section 7.19 except to the extent they are required to act in an administrative agent capacity for the applicable Notes Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Notes Documents.

Such Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to attach each Amendment to this Security Agreement and agrees that all additional Collateral owned by it set forth in such Amendments shall be considered to be part of the Collateral.
4.5.          Uncertificated Securities and Certain Other Investment Property. Each Grantor will, following the reasonable request of the Agent (and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, will permit the Agent to) from time to time cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Investment Property owned by such Grantor and constituting Collateral that are not represented by certificates which are Collateral to mark their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Investment Property not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Agent granted pursuant to this Security Agreement.

4.6.          Stock and Other Ownership Interests.
4.6.1          Registration of Pledged Securities and other Investment Property. Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, each Grantor will permit any registrable Collateral owned by such Grantor to be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee at any time at the option of the Required Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without any further consent of such Grantor.
4.6.2          Exercise of Rights in Pledged Securities. Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, each Grantor will permit the Agent or its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to Pledged Collateral owned by such Grantor or any part thereof, and to receive all dividends and interest in respect of such Pledged Collateral.
4.6.3          ULCs. For greater certainty, the Agent shall have no right under any circumstance to vote ULC Shares or receive dividends from any ULC until such time as
16

notice is given to the applicable Grantor and further steps are taken so as to register the Agent as the holder of the applicable ULC Shares.
4.6.4          ULC Shares.  Each Grantor acknowledges that certain of the Collateral of such Grantor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the Agent and each Grantor that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party should under any circumstances prior to realization thereon be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws.  Therefore, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, where a Grantor is the registered owner of ULC Shares which are Collateral of such Grantor, such Grantor shall remain the sole registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC.  Accordingly, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, with respect to such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of certificated Securities pledged of such Grantor, which shall be delivered to the Agent to hold hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Grantor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Agent pursuant hereto.  Nothing in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than the applicable Grantor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to such Grantor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the Agent, any other Secured Party, or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares.  To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Agent or any other Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Collateral of any Grantor without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Security Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral of any Grantor which is not ULC Shares.  Except upon the exercise of rights of the Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Security Agreement, each Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable a Subsidiary that is a ULC to cause or permit, the Agent or any other Secured Party to: (i) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Subsidiary; (ii) have any notation entered in their favour in the share register of such Subsidiary; (iii) be held out as shareholders or members of such Subsidiary; (iv) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such Subsidiary by reason of the Agent holding a Lien over the ULC Shares; or (v) act as a shareholder of such Subsidiary, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Subsidiary or to vote its ULC Shares.
4.7.          Specified Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor will cause each bank or other financial institution in which it maintains a Specified Deposit Account to enter into a Control Agreement
17

with the Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Specified Deposit Account within 60 days following the Effective Date or such later date on which it becomes a Grantor hereunder (in each case, or such later date as may be agreed to by the Agent in its sole discretion). In the case of deposits maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of the LC Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.
4.8.          Letter of Credit Rights. Each Grantor will, upon the Agent’s request, cause each issuer of a letter of credit in excess of $5,000,000 individually or in the aggregate to consent to the assignment of proceeds of such letter of credit in order to give the Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Letter of Credit Rights to such letter of credit.
4.9.          Intellectual Property.
4.9.1          If, after the date hereof, any Grantor obtains rights to, including, but not limited to filing and acceptance of a statement of use or an amendment to allege use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or applies for or seeks registration of, any new Patent, Trademark or Copyright (limited, in the case of any Foreign Grantor, to any new U.S. Patent, Trademark or Copyright) in addition to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights described in Exhibit “B”, then to the extent the foregoing constitutes Specified Intellectual Property, such Grantor agrees promptly and within 60 days following the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(b) of the LC Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence such security interest in a form appropriate for recording in the applicable U.S. federal office. In the event the applicable Grantor does not comply with the above deadline, each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Agent to (i) modify this Security Agreement unilaterally by amending Exhibit “B” to include any future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Specified Intellectual Property of which such Grantor is required to notify the Agent pursuant hereto and (ii) record, in addition to and not in substitution for this Security Agreement, a duplicate original of this Security Agreement containing in Exhibit “B” a description of such future registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Specified Intellectual Property.
4.9.2          As of the applicable Determination Date, no Grantor has any interest in, or title to, any U.S. Intellectual Property registrations or applications, except as set forth in Exhibit “B”. As of the applicable Determination Date, this Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on each Grantor’s interest in its Intellectual Property pledged hereunder and, upon timely filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the IP Short Form with respect to Patents and the IP Short Form with respect to Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit “E” hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the security interest in, to and on each Grantor’s interest in U.S. Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights that are set forth in Exhibit “B” as of the applicable Determination Date shall have been taken and such perfected security interest shall be enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.
18

4.10.          Commercial Tort Claims. If, after the date hereof, any Grantor identifies the existence of a Commercial Tort Claim constituting Collateral belonging to such Grantor that has arisen in the course of such Grantor’s business in addition to the Commercial Tort Claims described in Exhibit “F”, which are all of such Grantor’s Commercial Tort Claims as of the Effective Date, then such Grantor shall give the Agent prompt notice thereof, but in any event not less frequently than quarterly. Each Grantor agrees promptly upon request by the Agent to execute and deliver to the Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence the grant of a security interest therein in favor of the Agent.
4.11.          Updating of Exhibits to Security Agreement. The Borrowers will provide to the Agent, concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate required by Section 7.01(e) of the LC Credit Agreement, updated versions of the Exhibits to this Security Agreement (provided that if there have been no changes to any such Exhibits since the previous updating thereof required hereby, the Borrowers shall indicate that there has been “no change” to the applicable Exhibit(s)). Any reference to any Exhibit herein shall mean such Exhibit after giving effect to any updates thereof by the Borrowers or such Grantor pursuant to this Section 4.11 or otherwise.

DEFAULT
5.1.          Remedies.
5.1.1          Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the LC Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii)
Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.

(iv)
Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of,
19

deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(v)
Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of the ULC Shares, concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof.
5.1.2          The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
5.1.3          The Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
5.1.4          Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
5.1.5          Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent's rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the
20

Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
5.1.6          Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.1.1 above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
5.2.          Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the written request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will:

Permit the Agent, by the Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.
5.2.3          Prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the SEC or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Agent may request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and furnish to the Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Agent may specify.
5.2.4          Subject to Section 4.6.4 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral.
5.3.          License. The Agent is hereby granted a sublicenseable license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the
21

Intercreditor Agreement, without charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property constituting Collateral and to access all media and materials containing same. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory constituting Collateral directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell such Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any such Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
5.4.          Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent or any other Secured Party as provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Banking Services Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent or such other Secured Parties of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
ARTICLE VI

WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Agent and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided, that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII

Upon request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which agreements, if so required by the Agent, shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Agent.
7.2.          Collection of Receivables. The Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter during the continuation of any Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement hold in trust for the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof.
7.3.          Special Collateral Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent may require, by giving the Grantors written notice, that all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account. The Agent shall from time to time deposit the collected balances in such cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Agent. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in such cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations.
7.4.          Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations of the Grantors, as provided under Sections 4.01 and 9.04 of the LC Credit Agreement.
7.5.          Swiss Limitations.
7.5.1          If and to the extent that the security granted by a Grantor incorporated in Switzerland and/or having its registered office in Switzerland and/or qualifying as a Swiss resident pursuant to art. 9 of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act (the “Swiss Grantor”) under this Security Agreement secures obligations other than obligations of one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of the Swiss Grantor's direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream liabilities) or sister companies (cross-stream liabilities)) (the “Restricted Obligations) and that using the proceeds from the
23

enforcement of such security would under Swiss corporate law (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or restricting profit distributions) not be permitted at such time, then the proceeds from the enforcement of such security to be applied towards discharging Restricted Obligations shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted under applicable Swiss law; provided, that such limited amount shall at no time be less than the Swiss Grantor's distributable capital (presently being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for distribution) at the time or times of enforcement for Restricted Obligations, and further provided that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) affect the security granted by the Swiss Grantor under this Security Agreement in excess thereof, but merely postpone the time of using such proceeds from Enforcement of such security until such times as application towards discharging the Restricted Obligations is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation.
7.5.2          In case the Swiss Grantor who must make a payment in respect of Restricted Obligations under this Security Agreement is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in respect of such payment, the Swiss Grantor shall:

(i)
procure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii)
if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 7.5.2(i) hereof does not apply, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 7.5.2(i) hereof applies for a part of the Swiss Withholding Tax only, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such tax by notification under applicable law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;

(iii)
notify the Agent that such notification, or as the case may be, deduction has been made and provide the Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(iv)
in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, use its best efforts to ensure that any person other than the Agent, which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment in respect of Restricted Obligations, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:
(A)          request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties) and pay to the Agent upon receipt any amounts so refunded; or
24

(B)          if the Agent or a Secured Party is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment and if requested by the Agent, provide the Agent and/or the relevant Secured Party those documents that are required by law and applicable tax treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax in order to enable the Agent and/or the relevant Secured Party to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax.
7.5.3          If the Swiss Grantor is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in accordance with Section 7.5.1 hereof, the Agent shall be entitled to further request payment as per this Section 7.5 and other indemnity granted to it under this Security Agreement and apply proceeds therefrom against the Restricted Obligations up to an amount which is equal to that amount which would have been obtained if no withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax were required, whereby such further payments shall always be limited to the maximum amount of the freely distributable capital of the Swiss Grantor as set out in Section 7.5.1 hereof. In case the proceeds irrevocably received by the Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 7.5.2(iv) hereof and this paragraph (additional enforcements) have the effect that the proceeds received by the Agent and the Secured Parties exceed the Secured Obligations, then the Agent or the relevant Secured Party shall return such overcompensation to the Swiss Grantor.
7.5.4          If and to the extent requested by the Agent and if and to the extent this is from time to time required under Swiss law (restricting profit distributions), in order to allow the Agent (and the Secured Parties) to obtain a maximum benefit under this Security Agreement, the Swiss Grantor shall promptly implement the following:

(i)
the preparation of an up-to-date audited balance sheet of the Swiss Grantor;

(ii)
the confirmation of the auditors of the Swiss Grantor that the relevant amount represents the maximum of freely distributable profits;

(iii)
the prompt convening of a meeting of the shareholders of the Swiss Grantor which will approve the (resulting) profit distribution;

(iv)
if the enforcement of any Restricted Obligations would be limited as a result of any matter referred to in this Section 7.5, the Swiss Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) write up or realise any of its assets shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realisation, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Grantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and/or (b) reduce its share capital to the extent permitted by applicable law; and

(v)
all such other measures reasonably necessary and/or to promptly procure the fulfilment of all prerequisites reasonably necessary to allow the Swiss Grantor and relevant parent company to promptly make the payments and perform the obligations agreed hereunder from time to time with a minimum
25

of limitations.
7.6.          Norwegian Limitations.
7.6.1          The Norwegian Financial Agreements Act shall not apply to this Security Agreement, except as required by § 2 of the Financial Agreements Act (if applicable). The liability of each Grantor incorporated in Norway in its capacity as Grantor (each a “Norwegian Grantor”)  shall be limited to USD $240,000,000, plus any interest, default interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses due under any Secured Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of any Norwegian Grantor under this Security Agreement shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of sections 8-7 and/or 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 (the “Act”) regarding restrictions on a Norwegian limited liability company’s ability to grant guarantees, loans, security or other financial assistance. The obligations of the Norwegian Grantors shall only be limited to the extent this is required from time to time, and the Norwegian Grantors shall be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the Act as amended from time to time.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this Security Agreement by a Norwegian Grantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this Section 7.6.1, the Secured Parties shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the Secured Parties as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian Grantor.
7.6.2          The Norwegian Grantors' Collateral is limited to such Norwegian Grantors' Patents being held and registered in the United States, and does not extend to any Collateral held or registered outside the jurisdiction of the United States.
7.6.3          Each Norwegian Grantor and the Agent hereby confirms and acknowledges that each representation and warranty made by the Norwegian Grantors under Article III, each covenant made under Article IV and each provision under Articles VII and VIII are made subject to Section 8.23, and that any failure to comply with any of the Sections under such Articles does not constitute a breach of any such provisions or Event of Default to the extent that failure to comply is by reason of Norwegian law.
ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1.          Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least 10 days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
26

of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or its or their agents, employees, officers, nominees or other representatives, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
8.2.          Limitation on Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the care of any agent, employee, officer, nominee or other representative of the Agent or such other Secured Party). Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
27

omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
8.3.          Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees, subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
8.4.          Secured Party Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and fails to so perform or pay and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any reasonable and documented amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
8.5.          Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent and appoints the Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property which is Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Agent Control (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables constituting Collateral in the name of the Agent or such Grantor, (vi) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each
28

Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by the Agent in connection therewith; provided, that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the LC Credit Agreement.
8.6.          Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.2, or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
8.7.          Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy, subject to Section 8.2 hereof all respects.
8.8.          Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
8.9.          Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement); provided that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted under the LC Credit Agreement. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.
8.10.          Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
29

8.11.          Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 4.02 of the LC Credit Agreement, any Other Taxes payable or ruled payable by a Governmental Authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the applicable Grantor. The Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any and all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external legal, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) if and to the extent the Borrowers are required to reimburse such amounts under Section 11.03 of the LC Credit Agreement. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.
8.12.          Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
8.13.          Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until Payment in Full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of any individual Grantor under this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate to the extent provided in and in accordance with Section 11.23 of the LC Credit Agreement.
8.14.          Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract 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.
8.15.          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

8.15.2          Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any Security Agreement governed by Norwegian law), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall (including this Section 8.15) affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
30

8.15.3          Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 8.15.2. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
8.15.4          Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article IX of this Security Agreement other than by facsimile.

The Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
31

law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
8.15.8          To the extent that any Grantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Grantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
8.15.9          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 SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(ii)          if the LC Collateral Agent desires to permit a DIP Financing secured by a Lien on LC Priority Collateral, to be provided by DIP Lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws)  or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws), then the Notes Collateral Agent  and the Notes Secured Parties hereby agree not to object to any such financing or to the DIP Financing Liens on the LC Priority Collateral securing the same or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral, unless the LC Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes LC Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties, each Notes Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such LC Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the LC Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Notes Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and to any “carve out” for the payment of professional fees, clerk fees, and United States trustee fees (or any other administration charge, directors’ and officers’ charge or similar court-ordered priority charge under applicable Debtor Relief Laws), and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such LC Priority Collateral granted to secure the LC Obligations of the LC Secured Parties, each Notes Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such LC Priority Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Notes Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such LC Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding (other than any Liens constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and/or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the Notes Secured Parties are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any LC Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the LC Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and (D) if any LC Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the Notes Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien (i) to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral that shall not constitute LC
23

Priority Collateral and (ii) in respect of any additional Collateral that would not constitute LC Priority Collateral hereunder were it pledged for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties pursuant to the LC Security Documents to any LC Facility Secured Party as adequate protection, for use of cash collateral, or otherwise, as set forth in clause (B) above).

(iii)          No Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party will directly or indirectly propose or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior or prior to the Liens of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral unless such DIP Financing provides for the Discharge of the Senior Secured Obligations.
(c)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will  not object to and will not otherwise contest: (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations made by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party; (ii) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Claims in any sale of Collateral that is Senior Secured Obligations Collateral with respect to such Senior Claims; (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral; (iv) and will consent to any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent action under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or disposition (or related order) of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral if such sale or other disposition is not free and clear of the Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations or (v) any sale or other disposition (or related order) of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other equivalent provision of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other provision under any other Debtor Relief Law) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented, and the related court order provides that, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and the Junior Secured Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing such Obligations on the assets being sold, in accordance with this Agreement.
(d)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including by way of moratorium) with respect to Senior Secured Obligations Collateral without the prior consent of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, unless, and solely to the extent that, the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall obtain relief from the automatic stay (or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) with respect to such collateral to commence a lien enforcement action.
24

(e)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not, other than as set forth in Section 2.06(b), object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting): (i) any request by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for adequate protection; provided that (1) any Notes Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from Notes Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(i) or the proceeds thereof and (2) any LC Secured Party, solely in its capacity as a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party, may object to adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from LC Priority Collateral, any DIP Financing under Section 2.06(b)(ii)  or the proceeds thereof or (ii) any objection by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), on the same basis as the other Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (y) in the event the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agree that the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Secured Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; (z) any adequate protection granted in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws)  (collectively, “Senior 507(b) Claims”) shall be senior to and have priority of payment over any superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Debtor Relief Laws) in favor of any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party (collectively, “Junior 507(b) Claims”). The holders of the Junior 507(b) Claims agree that, in connection with any Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such Junior 507(b) Claims may be paid in any combination of cash, securities, or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such Junior 507(b) Claims as of the
25

effective date of such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the Notes Secured Parties and LC Secured Parties, all Senior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Senior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class, and all Junior 507(b) Claims shall be pari passu with the Junior 507(b) Claims held by the other Class.

(f)          The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for allowance of Senior Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Laws) senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to such a claim shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.1(a).
(g)          The LC Collateral Agent, on behalf of the LC Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that the grants of Liens pursuant to the LC Security Documents, on the one hand, and the Notes Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the LC Obligations are fundamentally different from the Notes Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Notes Obligations and LC Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Notes Priority Collateral or the LC Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the Notes Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, costs, fees, charges, or expenses that are available from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Claims with respect to such Collateral, with the holder of such Junior Claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries). Additionally, to further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this subsection, if it is held that the claims of any of the LC Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Notes Secured Parties, on the other hand, constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to vote to reject such plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan unless  LC Secured Parties
26

greater than half in number and holding greater than two-thirds in amount of the LC Obligations agree to accept such plan or such plan provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations. The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees it shall not object to or contest (or support any other party in objection or contesting) a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan on the grounds that the LC Obligations and Notes Obligations are classified separately.  The Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of all the Notes Secured Parties) agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither it nor any other Notes Secured Party shall support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor unless the plan of reorganization is accepted by the LC Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the Discharge of LC Obligations on the effective date of such plan of reorganization.  Except as provided herein, the Notes Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(h)          If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (or any form of Court-sanctioned restructuring permitted under any applicable law), both on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Notes Obligations and on account of the LC Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then each of the LC Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent for themselves and on behalf of their respective Secured Parties agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any Collateral (including assets that would constitute Collateral but for such determination) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct in order to comply with the priority provisions set forth in Section 2.01
(i)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), 2.04(a) and 2.06(b), (c) (e) and (f) or otherwise, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims, including, without limitation, the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against any Grantor in accordance with applicable law (including the Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction); provided that, the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may not take any of the actions that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, such actions prohibited by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.06(b), (c), (e) and (f); provided further, that in the event that any of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its
27

rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Senior Secured Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.07          Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the Senior Secured Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under any Debtor Relief Law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Senior Secured Obligations shall again have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
SECTION 2.08          [Reserved].
SECTION 2.09          Insurance.  Unless and until the Notes Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the Notes Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Notes Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Notes Priority Collateral.  Unless and until the LC Obligations have been Discharged, as between the Notes Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the LC Collateral Agent, on the other hand, only the LC Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting LC Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding solely affecting the LC Priority Collateral.  To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes Notes Priority Collateral and LC Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Documents and the LC Obligations Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.
SECTION 2.10          Refinancings.  Each of the Notes Obligations and the LC Obligations and the agreements governing them may be Refinanced, in each case without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, as in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended in accordance with the terms hereof) of, any Notes Secured Party or any LC Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing (to the extent they are not already so bound) to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and such other Refinancing documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Applicable Senior Collateral Agent.  In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.10, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Parent, and without the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit such Refinancing transaction under any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, and other than the consent of each Applicable Senior
28

Collateral Agent, whose consent shall still be required to the extent set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence) of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any LC Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any LC Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any Notes Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing.  Any such additional party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Parent that such modifications do not violate the Notes Documents or the LC Documents if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Parent and the Grantors have complied with their undertakings in any such document or this Agreement.  In connection with the delivery of a joinder as set forth above, the Parent shall deliver an officer’s certificate to each Collateral Agent certifying that the Refinancing, including the incurrence of indebtedness and the incurrence of liens in respect thereof, qualifies as a Refinancing as defined herein.

SECTION 2.11          Amendments to Security Documents.
(a)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Notes Collateral Agent, no LC Security Document to which such LC Collateral Agent or LC Secured Party is party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new LC Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each of the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the LC Collateral Agent and each LC Collateral Agent, no Notes Security Document to which the Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Secured Parties are party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new Notes Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
(c)          In the event that any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, the Grantors thereunder (including the release of any Liens in the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Collateral Agent or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Collateral Agent, any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, the Parent or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely
29

affect the rights of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties or the interests of the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in the applicable Junior Secured Obligations Collateral and not the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Parent to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Collateral Agent and other LC Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent and other Notes Secured Parties hereby agree that they will not amend or otherwise modify the provisions of the LC Documents or the Notes Documents related to the Refinancing or payment of any Obligations (including ordinary course payments) in a manner that makes them more restrictive to Grantors or otherwise prohibits or restricts a Refinancing or payment permitted under the LC Documents or Notes Documents as in effect on the date hereof.
SECTION 2.12          Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a)          Each Possessory Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for, or, as applicable, on trust for, the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the Notes Security Documents or the LC Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.  To the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered to) the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same.  Pending such delivery to the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Notes Security Documents or LC Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12.
(b)          The duties or responsibilities of each Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.12 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee, or, as applicable, on trust for, for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.
(c)          Upon the Discharge of all LC Obligations, the LC Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Notes Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby
30

and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  No LC Collateral Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

(d)          Upon the Discharge of all Notes Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver to the LC Collateral Agent (at the sole expense of the Grantors), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the LC Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow instructions from any LC Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.13          Control Agreements. The LC Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as collateral agent of the Notes Secured Parties under each control agreement solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien of the Notes Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control. The Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes  Secured Parties, hereby appoints the LC Collateral Agent to act as its collateral agent under each such control agreement, as applicable. The duties or responsibilities of the LC Collateral Agent under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to acting as agent for the benefit of each Notes Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties in the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject to such control agreements by control, in each case prior to the Discharge of all LC Obligations
SECTION 2.14          Rights under Permits and Licenses. The LC Collateral Agent agrees that if the Notes Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the LC Collateral Agent (as certified to the LC Collateral Agent by the Notes Collateral Agent, upon which the LC Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any Notes Priority Collateral, the LC Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the LC Documents, including the LC Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the Notes Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the LC Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Secured Parties.  The Notes Collateral Agent agrees that if the LC Collateral Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the Notes Collateral Agent (as certified to the Notes Collateral Agent by the LC Collateral Agent, upon which the Notes Collateral Agent may rely) in order to realize on any LC Priority Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the Notes Documents, including such Notes Collateral Agent’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and reasonably requested by the LC Collateral Agent in writing, to make such rights available to the LC Collateral Agent, subject to the Liens held by the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties.

Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Senior Secured Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations) or Junior Secured Obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may, acting reasonably, request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that, if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Parent. Each Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Parent or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE VI

Collateral Agency for Foreign Collateral
SECTION 6.01          Appointment of Foreign Collateral Agent.  It is acknowledged that, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United State of America, applicable law prevents both the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent from obtaining liens on the Collateral. In such circumstances, solely for Foreign Collateral, the parties hereto agree that with effect as of the resignation of the Preceding Foreign Collateral Agent (i) the LC Collateral Agent, who may appoint any sub-agent in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Notes Collateral Agent to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any LC Priority Collateral, (ii) the Notes Collateral Agent, or any sub-agent that it may in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the LC Collateral Agent designate to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as Foreign Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral, and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Foreign Collateral Agent is permitted to hold Liens on such Foreign Collateral in trust for the Secured Parties notwithstanding the inability of any other Collateral Agent to hold similar Liens. In recognition of the foregoing, each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the “collateral agent” under any Foreign Collateral Documents, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), and each other Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the LC Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to act as the agent of such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Foreign Collateral, pursuant to Section 6.01(i) and (ii), granted by any of the Grantors to secure any of the Notes Obligations or LC Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Foreign Collateral Documents or supplements to existing Foreign Collateral Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Foreign Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Foreign Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Foreign Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under this agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Foreign Collateral Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Foreign
33

Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 6.02          Rights as a Secured Party.  The Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Foreign Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” (or, as applicable, Notes Secured Party or LC Secured Party) shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Grantor or any Grantor’s Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.
SECTION 6.03          Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Foreign Collateral Documents to which Foreign Collateral Agent is a party, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Foreign Collateral Agent:
(i)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (though it hereby is authorized to take such actions in its Permitted Discretion), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Foreign Collateral Documents that the Foreign Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Controlling Parties; provided that the Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith, based upon the advice of counsel or upon the written opinion of its counsel, may expose the Foreign Collateral Agent to liability, or for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or that is contrary to any Foreign Collateral Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)          shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Foreign Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.
34

(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Controlling Parties or (ii) in the absence of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or LC Documents unless and until written notice describing such default or Event of Default is given to the Foreign Collateral Agent by the Grantors, LC Collateral Agent, or Notes Collateral Agent.

(c)          The Foreign Collateral 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 or any other Foreign Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Foreign Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document.
SECTION 6.04          Reliance by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Foreign Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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 written advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 6.05          Delegation of Duties.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Foreign Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  The Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article VI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Foreign Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the Foreign Collateral.  The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Foreign Collateral Agent acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the selection of such sub agents.
(b)          Should any instrument in writing from any Grantor be required by any sub-agent appointed by the Foreign Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such sub-agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Grantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent.  If
35

any such sub-agent, or successor thereto, shall resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such sub-agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Foreign Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new sub-agent. All references in this Agreement or in any other Foreign Collateral Document to any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted or delivered in favour of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall include any Lien or Foreign Collateral Document granted to any sub-agent of the Foreign Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.06          Resignation of Foreign Collateral Agent.
(a)          The Foreign Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Representatives and the Grantors.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting through their Collateral Agents, shall have the right (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any LC Document or Notes Document at the time of such resignation) to appoint a successor, which shall be as jointly designated by Notes Collateral Agent and LC Collateral Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Representatives) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Foreign Collateral Agent is appointed but in any event, no more than sixty (60) days following the Resignation Effective Date) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Foreign Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Representative directly, until such time, if any, the relevant Collateral Agents appoint a successor Foreign Collateral Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Foreign Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent), and the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Foreign Collateral Documents.  After the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Foreign Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Foreign Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Foreign Collateral Agent was acting as Foreign Collateral Agent.
SECTION 6.07          Non-Reliance on Foreign Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties.  Each Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
36

the Foreign Collateral Agent or any of its related parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the LC Documents, and the Notes Documents, as applicable.  Each Collateral Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Foreign Collateral Agent or its related parties and based on such documents and 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, any Foreign Collateral Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 6.08          Collateral Matters.
Each of the Collateral Agents irrevocably authorize the Foreign Collateral Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion;to release any Lien or any other claim on any Foreign Collateral granted to or held by the Foreign Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Foreign Collateral Document (A) upon the Discharge of the Notes Obligations and the Discharge of the LC Obligations, as applicable, in which case such Lien shall only be released with respect to the Obligations so Discharged; (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents and LC Documents or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 6.08(b).
(a)          Upon request by the Foreign Collateral Agent at any time, the Controlling Parties will confirm in writing the Foreign Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or take any other action necessary to administer the Foreign Collateral.  In each case, as specified in this Section 6.08, the Foreign Collateral Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor such documents as such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Foreign Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Foreign Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Grantor from its obligations under the Foreign Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Foreign Collateral Documents.
(b)          The Foreign Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Foreign Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Foreign Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Grantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Foreign Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Foreign Collateral.
SECTION 6.09          Discretionary Rights.  The Foreign Collateral Agent may:
(a)          assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary from the Collateral Agents) that (i) no default or Event of Default  has occurred and no Grantor is in breach of or default under its obligations under any of the Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents, or LC Documents, and (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested by any
37

Foreign Collateral Documents, Notes Documents, or LC Documents in any person has not been exercised;

(b)          if it receives any instructions or directions to take any action in relation to the Foreign Collateral, assume that all applicable conditions under this Agreement, LC Documents and Notes Documents for taking that action have been satisfied;

(d)          without prejudice for the generality of paragraph (c) above, at any time engage and pay for the services of a single additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction to act as independent counsel to the Foreign Collateral Agent (in addition to the Foreign Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel) (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the other Secured Parties) if the Foreign Collateral Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying on the advice or services of any professional engaged under this Section 6.09; and
(e)          refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Secured Party or Controlling Party (including bringing any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Collateral Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its reasonable discretion require which may be greater in extent than that contained for the benefit of any Representative in the Notes Documents or LC Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of any Notes Documents or LC Documents to the contrary, the Foreign Collateral Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(a)          The Secured Parties (other than the LC Australian Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent) shall jointly and severally indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent within three Business Days of demand, and keep the Foreign Collateral Agent indemnified against any demands, damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities made against or incurred by it in acting as Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Foreign Collateral Documents, the LC Documents, or the Notes Documents (provided that any indemnification obligations arising solely due to the instructions of a Controlling Party shall be borne solely by the Class represented by such Controlling Party), unless the Foreign Collateral Agent (i) has been reimbursed by a Grantor pursuant to any of the Foreign Collateral Documents or (ii) such liabilities, losses, demands, damages, expenses or costs are incurred by or made against the Foreign Collateral Agent as a result of willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment.

38

Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the Notes Obligations and any payments made by or costs attributable to any LC Secured Party on account of the Foreign Collateral Agent shall be added to the LC Obligations.

(b)          The Grantors covenant and agree that they shall defend and be jointly and severally liable to reimburse and indemnify the Foreign Collateral Agent (and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (“Foreign Collateral Agent Related Persons”)) for any and all reasonable expenses and other charges actually incurred by the Foreign Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the Foreign Collateral Documents (or any of them) and from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, actual reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Foreign Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Foreign Collateral Document, or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, in each case, except to the extent caused by the Foreign Collateral Agent’s or the Foreign Collateral Agent Related Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment.

(a)          This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to such Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of law provisions, other than 5-1401 and 5‑1402 of the New York General Obligations Law.
(b)          Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)          Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.08.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
45

(d)          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.02.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 7.09          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.  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 7.10          Headings.  Article, Section and Annex headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 7.11          Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the Notes Documents and/or any of the LC Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, except with respect to provisions governing the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Agents and Representatives, in their capacities as such, in which case the applicable Notes Documents or LC Documents shall control.
SECTION 7.12          Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Notes Secured Parties and the LC Secured Parties in relation to one another.  None of the Grantors shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 2.11, Article V and Article VI) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Notes Documents or any LC Documents), and none of the Grantors may rely on the terms hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair or relieve the obligations of the Grantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Notes Document or any LC Obligations Document, the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting (a) pursuant to this Agreement or any LC Obligations Document with respect to any Notes Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any Notes Document, or (b) pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Document with respect to any LC Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any LC Obligations Document.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this agreement shall apply to the Notes Secured Parties solely in their capacity as Notes Secured Parties and not in any other capacity.
SECTION 7.13          Agent Capacities.  Except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Notes Collateral Agent, nor the LC Collateral Agent (including the LC Australian Collateral
46

Agent), shall have (i) any duties or obligations in respect of any of the Collateral, all of such duties and obligations, if any, being subject to and governed by the Notes Documents and the LC Documents, as the case may be, or (ii) any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Secured Party or for any other Secured Party’s compliance with (or failure to comply with) the terms of this Agreement.  Neither the Notes Collateral Agent, nor the LC Collateral Agent (including the LC Australian Collateral Agent) shall have individual liability to any Person if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to any Secured Party (or Grantor) any amounts in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so long as such Person is acting in good faith and without willful misconduct.  Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the LC Australian Collateral only at the direction of the LC Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.14          Supplements.  Upon the execution by any Subsidiary of Parent of a supplement hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agents, such subsidiary shall be a party to this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions hereof to the same extent as each Grantor are so bound.  The Parent shall cause any Subsidiary that becomes a Grantor to execute and deliver such supplement.
SECTION 7.15          Collateral Agent Rights, Protections and Immunities.
In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the LC Collateral Agent and the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to the “Administrative Agent” and its respective sub-agents under the LC Credit Agreement, all of which are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to the “Collateral Agent” under the Notes Indenture, all of which are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.  In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the LC Australian Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections and immunities granted to the “LC Australian Collateral Agent” under the LC Australian Security Trust Deed.
SECTION 7.16          Other Junior Intercreditor Agreements.
In addition, in the event that the Parent or any Subsidiary incurs any obligations secured by a lien on any Collateral that is junior to the LC Obligations or the  Notes Obligations, then the Notes Collateral Agent and the LC Collateral Agent shall enter into an intercreditor agreement (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) with the agent or trustee for the secured parties with respect to such secured obligation to reflect the relative lien priorities of such parties with respect to the Collateral and governing the relative rights, benefits and privileges as among such parties in respect of the Collateral, including as to application of proceeds of the Collateral, voting rights, control of the Collateral and waivers with respect to the Collateral, in each case so long as such secured obligations are permitted under, and the terms of such intercreditor agreement do not violate or conflict with, the provisions of this Agreement or the other Notes Documents or LC Documents, as the case may be.  Each party hereto agrees that the Notes Secured Parties (as among themselves) and the LC Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the Notes Secured Parties or the LC Secured Parties, as the case may be, in respect of the Collateral, this Agreement and the applicable Senior
47

Secured Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to the application of proceeds of the Collateral, voting rights, control of the Collateral and waivers with respect to the Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or the other applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be. If any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is entered into, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other Notes Document or LC Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Notes Documents and LC Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).

SECTION 7.17          Additional Grantors.
Promptly upon request by any Collateral Agent, any Person that becomes a Grantor after the date hereof will provide to the Collateral Agents a fully signed acknowledgement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, consenting to the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor arrangements provided for herein; provided that no failure on the part of any Collateral Agent to request or obtain such acknowledgement will in any way diminish or impair any of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.
SECTION 7.18          Joinder of LC Australian Collateral Agent.
Substantially concurrently with its entry into the LC Australian Security Trust Deed, BTA Institutional Services Australia Limited shall, without requiring the consent of any other party hereto, join to this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
SECTION 7.19          Purchase Right.
(a)          Without prejudice to the enforcement of the LC Secured Parties’ rights and remedies, the LC Secured Parties agree that following the occurrence of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the LC Obligations in accordance with the terms of the LC Documents, (ii) any enforcement action by any LC Secured Party with respect to any material portion of the Collateral, (iii) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or (iv) any bankruptcy or payment default under the Notes Indenture (each such event, a “Purchase Option Event”), then some or all of the Notes Secured Parties shall have the right to elect to purchase all but not less than all of the outstanding LC Obligations, at par, without regard to any prepayment penalty or premium and without warranty, representation or recourse, for the Purchase Price (defined below); provided, with respect to any LC Obligations constituting Bank Product Obligations, at the time of any such purchase pursuant to this Section 7.19, the Bank Product Obligations shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms. The participating Notes Secured Parties shall irrevocably exercise each such purchase right by delivery of written notice of their intent to purchase the LC Obligations to the LC Collateral Agent at any time following the Purchase Option Event; provided, unless the LC Collateral Agent otherwise consents, such written notice must be received by the LC Collateral Agent no later than the earlier to occur of (A) 10 Business Days after the LC Collateral Agent delivers to the Notes Trustee written notice of the occurrence of any
48

Purchase Option Event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or (B) if any bankruptcy or payment default under the Notes Indenture has occurred and is continuing, 10 Business Days after LC Collateral Agent delivers written notice to the Notes Trustee that the LC Facility Secured Parties desire to sell or assign the LC Obligations and are actively seeking to identify one or more Persons to purchase and acquire its LC Obligations from such LC Facility Secured Parties.  The parties shall close such purchase and sale within 20 Business Days (or such shorter time as reasonably specified by the participating Notes Secured Parties in such notice) after such delivery of such notice.  To the extent that more than one Notes Secured Party elects to purchase the LC Obligations in accordance with this Section 7.19, unless otherwise agreed upon by such Notes Secured Parties electing to purchase the LC Obligations, such Notes Secured Parties shall purchase all of the LC Obligations in accordance with this Section 7.19 on a ratable basis based on their outstanding Notes Obligations.

(b)          On the date of such purchase and sale (the “Purchase Date”), the participating Notes Secured Parties shall (i) pay to LC Collateral Agent (on behalf of all LC Facility Secured Parties) as the purchase price therefor, the full amount of all the LC Obligations (other than LC Obligations cash collateralized in accordance with clause (b)(ii) below) then outstanding and unpaid, and (ii) furnish cash collateral to the LC Collateral Agent in such amounts as the LC Collateral Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the LC Secured Parties in connection with any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit (as defined in the LC Credit Agreement) (but not in any event in an amount greater than (I) 105% of the face amount of letters of credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars and (II) 103% of the face amount with respect to letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars.  Such purchase price and cash collateral (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the LC Collateral Agent as the LC Collateral Agent may designate in writing to the participating Notes Secured Parties for such purpose.  Interest shall be calculated to but exclude the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur.
(c)          Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the LC Secured Parties as to the LC Obligations or LC Documents so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to any LC Secured Party; except that each LC Secured Party shall represent and warrant:  (i) the amount of the LC Obligations being purchased from such LC Secured Party, (ii) that such LC Secured Party owns the LC Obligations free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) that such LC Secured Party has the right to assign such LC Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.
(d)          In the event that the participating Notes Secured Parties exercise and consummate the purchase option set forth in this Section 7.19, (i) LC Collateral Agent and any other agent under the LC Documents shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the LC Documents, and (ii) the participating Notes Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require LC Collateral Agent and such other agent to immediately resign under the LC Documents.
(e)          With respect to any cash collateral held under Section 7.4(b)(ii) above, after giving effect to any payment made and applied to amounts coming due with respect to any letters of credit (or termination thereof without a drawing thereon), the amount of any cash collateral then on deposit with the LC Collateral Agent with respect to such obligations which exceeds the sum
49

of (x) 105% of the face amount of letters of credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars and (y) 103% of the face amount with respect to letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars, shall promptly be returned to the Notes Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Notes Secured Parties).

(f)          For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any obligations to pay the purchase price or furnish cash collateral in connection with the exercise of the purchase option set forth herein shall be obligations of the participating Notes Secured Parties (and not the Notes Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Notes Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligations under this Section 7.19 except to the extent they are required to act in an administrative agent capacity for the applicable Notes Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Notes Documents.

News Release


Weatherford Completes Financing Transactions
HOUSTON, August 28, 2020  Weatherford International plc (OTC Pink: WFTLF) (collectively with certain of its subsidiaries, “Weatherford” or the “Company”) today announced that it has refinanced its senior secured asset-based lending agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) through the issuance of $500 million of senior secured first lien notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Company also amended and increased the size of its senior secured letter of credit agreement (the “LC Credit Agreement”) to $215 million.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes will be used to enhance the Company’s liquidity and support the issuance of letters of credit. These actions will provide the Company with additional liquidity and flexibility to manage through the current operating environment, with the Company having over $1.2 billion of cash on hand at closing, including the net proceeds from the transactions, over $50 million of capacity under its upsized LC facility and no debt maturities prior to the second quarter of 2024.
Charles M. Sledge, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented, “We have strengthened the Company’s capital structure enabling Weatherford to continue to deliver against our strategic objectives during this challenging environment. These transactions successfully conclude the review of alternatives announced in May. We appreciate the continued support provided by the Company’s stakeholders and the confidence they have placed in our long-term success.”
Key Details of the Transactions:

Issued $500 million of 8.75% senior secured first lien notes maturing on September 1, 2024

Terminated the ABL Credit Agreement by repaying all borrowings and cash collateralizing or moving letters of credit under the LC Credit Facility

Amended the LC Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitments under the facility to $215 million and reduce the minimum liquidity covenant
Lazard served as the Company’s financial advisor on the transactions and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, and Latham & Watkins served as the Company’s legal counsel.

The Senior Secured Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except under an exception from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws.
