Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. (“you” or the “Borrower”) has advised us that you, certain of your direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Borrower, each a “DIP Debtor” and, collectively, the “DIP Debtors”), Intelsat S.A. (“Holdings”) and certain subsidiaries of Holdings other than the DIP Debtors (together with Holdings and the DIP Debtors, each a “Debtor” and, collectively, the “Debtors”) will file on or around May 13, 2020 voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) commencing the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Cases”). In connection with the foregoing, you have requested that the parties listed on Annex I hereto (“us”, “we” or the “Commitment Parties”) agree to backstop a non-amortizing multiple draw super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000,000 under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings assigned to them in the form of Superpriority Secured Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Form DIP Credit Agreement,” together with this letter, collectively, this “Commitment Letter”).

In connection with the foregoing, the Commitment Parties are pleased to advise you of their commitment to backstop the DIP Facility, on a several and not joint basis, in the amounts set forth opposite each such Commitment Party’s name on Annex I hereto (the “Backstop Commitments”) upon the terms set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter, including the Form DIP Credit Agreement, and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the Limited Conditionality Provisions (as defined below).

The rights and obligations of each of the Commitment Parties under this Commitment Letter shall be several and not joint, and no failure of any Commitment Party to comply with any of its obligations hereunder shall prejudice the rights of any other Commitment Party; provided that no Commitment Party shall be required to fund the commitment of another Commitment Party in the event such other Commitment Party fails to do so (the “Defaulting Commitment Party”), but may at its option do so, in whole or in part, in which case such performing Commitment Party shall be entitled to all or a proportionate share, as the case may be, of the DIP Facility and related fees and put option premiums that would otherwise be issued to the Defaulting Commitment Party.

Up to 80.58 % of the Commitments shall be made available, to holders (including the Commitment Parties) of the Prepetition Secured Debt (such holders, the “Prepetition Secured Parties” and the Prepetition Secured Parties, other than the Commitment Parties, the “Other Prepetition Secured Parties”) of record as of a to be specified record date (the “Record Date”), which Record Date shall be mutually determined by the Commitment Parties having or holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Backstop Commitments (the “Required Commitment Parties”) and you on a ratable basis up to their respective pro rata share of the Prepetition Secured Debt as of the Record Date (calculated, for the avoidance of doubt, based on the pro rata share of each such Prepetition Secured Parties’ Prepetition Secured Debt relative to the aggregate amount of all Prepetition Secured Debt including the amount held by the Commitment Parties) (the “Commitment Re-allocation”). Upon conclusion of the Commitment Re-allocation, the Backstop Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of Commitments allocated to the Other Prepetition Secured Parties pursuant to the Commitment Re-allocation, which reduction shall be applied pro rata among the Commitment Parties based on their Backstop Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if any Other Prepetition Secured Party fails to execute the Definitive Financing Documentation (as defined below) with respect to any portion of its Commitment acquired through the Commitment Re-allocation (such failing Other Prepetition Secured Party, the “Defaulting Execution Prepetition Secured Party”) on or prior to the date upon which all conditions precedent herein and in the Form DIP Credit Agreement relating to the effectiveness of the Definitive Financing Documentation are satisfied (the “Closing Date”), then there shall be no reductions in the respective Backstop Commitment amounts set forth above as a result of the Commitment allocated to such Defaulting Execution Prepetition Secured Party, and the Commitments allocated to such Defaulting Execution Prepetition Secured Party shall be re-allocated to the Commitment Parties on a pro rata basis based on their Backstop Commitments (which shall result in such Defaulting Execution Prepetition Secured Party no longer holding any Commitments); and (y) if any Other Prepetition Secured Party that has executed the Definitive Financing Documentation on the Closing Date fails to fund the initial Borrowing with respect to any portion of its Commitment acquired through the Commitment Re-allocation (such failing Other Prepetition Secured Party, the “Defaulting Funding Prepetition Secured Party”) on or prior to the date upon which all conditions precedent herein and in the form DIP Credit Agreement relating to the initial Borrowing are satisfied (the “Initial Funding Date”), then the Commitment Parties commit to and shall fund such amount of the Defaulting Funding Prepetition Secured Party on the Initial Funding Date, as if there were no reduction in the respective Backstop Commitment amounts set forth above with respect to all Borrowings as a result of the Commitment allocated to such Defaulting Funding Prepetition Secured Party, and the Commitments allocated to such Defaulting Funding Prepetition Secured Party shall be re-allocated to the Commitment Parties on a pro rata basis based on their Backstop Commitments (which shall result in such Defaulting Funding Prepetition Secured Party no longer holding any Commitments or Loans). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Commitment Re-allocation and related matters prior to the Closing Date and cooperate with the Commitment Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (together with the Administrative Agent, collectively, the “DIP Agent”) with respect thereto.

You will designate a third party reasonably acceptable to the Required Commitment Parties and you to act as DIP Agent; it being agreed that Credit Suisse Group AG and its affiliates are reasonably acceptable to the Required Commitment Parties and you for such role. For the avoidance of doubt, each Commitment Party confirms that its commitments under this Commitment Letter are not conditional upon being so appointed.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter to the contrary and notwithstanding any syndication, assignment or other transfer by any Commitment Party, (a) no Commitment Party shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund its applicable percentage of the DIP Facility on or after the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or other transfer until after the Definitive Financing Documentation becomes effective on the Closing Date and the initial Borrowing is funded, (b) no such syndication, assignment or other transfer shall become effective with respect to any portion of the Commitment Party’s commitments in respect of the DIP Facility until the Closing Date and (c) unless the Borrower agrees in

2

writing, the Commitment Parties shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to the commitments in respect of the DIP Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, waivers, modifications, supplements and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred.

You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written factual information, other than (i) the Projections (as defined below), estimate, budgets and other forward looking information and (ii) information of a general economic or industry specific nature (such written information other than as described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives on your behalf at your direction in connection herewith is or will be, when taken as a whole after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto, when furnished supplemented or updated, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when taken as a whole after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto, when furnished supplemented or updated, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the financial projections (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made available to us by you or on behalf of you or any of your representatives on your behalf at your direction in connection herewith have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to us; it being understood that (x) the Projections are merely a prediction as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, (y) the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control and (z) no assurance can be given that any particular Projection will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any the Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material. You agree that if, at any time prior to the execution of the DIP Facility, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections, as applicable, so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances; provided that any such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties.

As consideration for the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder, the Borrower and the other DIP Debtors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable put option premium (the “Put Option Premium”) in cash in an amount equal to 2.5% of the stated principal amount of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitments on the date hereof. The Commitment Parties and the DIP Debtors shall not take any position or action inconsistent with the treatment and/or characterization, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the Put Option Premium as remuneration to the Commitment Parties for their agreeing to enter into such put option.

If any Commitment Party shall fail to fund its Commitment under the DIP Facility upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Required Commitment parties) of the conditions set forth under Section 6 (Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness on the Closing Date) and Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to All Credit Events) of the Form DIP Credit Agreement, and no other Commitment Party elects to fund such amount, then the Put Option Premium with respect to such unfunded amount of the Commitment shall be returned to the Borrower by such Commitment Party that failed to fund.

(b)    prior to the Definitive Financing Documentation becomes effective, the Other Prepetition Secured Parties shall either have been (i) provided the opportunity to or (ii) notified by the Borrower that they will be provided the opportunity within twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date to subscribe for a portion of the Commitments under the DIP Facility (on the same terms and conditions (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion) as set forth in the Form DIP Credit Agreement) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Required Commitment Parties and the DIP Agent (it being understood that the Backstop Commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon any Other Prepetition Secured Party’s actual subscription for any of the Commitments).

(a)    You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the DIP Agent, the Commitment Parties, the DIP Lenders, their respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors, consultants, agents and other representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the DIP Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such Proceedings are brought by you, your equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, but subject to the limitations in the next sentence, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or a material breach of this Commitment Letter by, such Indemnified Person or its control affiliates, directors, officers or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Commitment Party agrees that the Borrower and its Representatives shall not be liable for, or be subject to any damages, expenses, or losses in connection with, the Instruction Schedule (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any errors or mistakes contained therein) that are suffered by any Commitment Party. In addition, each Commitment Party agrees that, to the extent any funds in excess of the amount of the Put Option Premium remain with or are returned to the Escrow Agent, the Company is entitled to have such funds returned to it by the Escrow Agent. The Company agrees that it shall provide any supplemental Exhibit C to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that is provided by a Commitment Party after the date hereof. Annex III hereof contains certain additional terms regarding the Escrow Agent.

(x) The first Borrowing of Term Loans shall be made on or after the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, (y) the second Borrowing of Term Loans shall be made after the date of the first Borrowing but prior to the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of the then Available Term Loan Commitment and $250,000,000 and (z) the third Borrowing of Term Loans shall be made after the date of the second Borrowing but prior to the Maturity Date in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then Available Term Loan Commitment. Each Borrowing of Term Loans shall consist of Term Loans of the same Type made on the same day by the Term Lenders ratably according to their respective Term Commitments.

2.3.    Notice of Borrowing.

(a)    The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ (or, with respect to the second and third Borrowings, ten (10) Business Days’) prior written notice of the Borrowing of Term Loans. Such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing and (iii) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans or LIBOR Term Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include LIBOR Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto; provided that the Borrower may condition the initial Borrowing upon the entry of the Final DIP Order. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice of the proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

2.4.    Disbursement of Funds.

(a)    No later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below.

(b)    Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower, by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account of the Borrower designated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, shall make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered

-27-

by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

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

2.5.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)    The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the then unpaid Loans, in Dollars.

(b)    [Reserved].

(c)    [Reserved].

(d)    [Reserved].

(e)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(f)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 14.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

2.6.    Conversions and Continuations.

(a)    The Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans made to the Borrower (as applicable) of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Term Loans as LIBOR Term Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (i) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Term Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, and (ii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) prior written notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Term Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Term Loans to

-28-

be converted or continued into and, if such Term Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Term Loans.

(b)    If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

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

2.8.    Interest.

(a)    The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b)    The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable LIBOR Margin in effect from time to time plus the relevant LIBOR Rate.

(c)    If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest or commitment fee after the cure period set forth in Section 12.1(b) payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest or commitment fee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d)    Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, or (iii) in respect of each Loan (except, other than in the case of prepayments, any ABR Loan), on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e)    All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(f)    The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.9.    Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, except as contemplated by this Section 2.9, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three or six month period; provided that the initial Interest Period may be for a period less than one month if agreed upon by the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

-29-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a)    the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans or) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b)    [reserved];

(c)    if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

(d)    the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Loan; and

(e)    unless the Borrower elects otherwise in its sole discretion, all Term Loans funded in the second and third Borrowings will be of the same Type and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, have the same Interest Periods and LIBOR Rate as all other LIBOR Term Loans then outstanding (on a ratable basis if there is more than one Borrowing of Term Loans then outstanding); provided that the initial Interest Period of any such LIBOR Term Loans funded shall commence on the applicable funding date and shall end on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for all other LIBOR Term Loans then outstanding (on a ratable basis if there is more than one Borrowing of other LIBOR Term Loans then outstanding).

2.10.    Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a)    In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)    on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Signing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii)    at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 and Excluded Taxes) because of (x) any change since the Signing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii)    at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Signing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

-30-

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Term Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Term Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)    At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Term Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)    If, after the Signing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after the Signing Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Signing Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.10(c) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the United States financial regulatory authorities (including regulations implementing the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(d)    It is understood that to the extent duplicative of Section 5.4, this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Taxes.

2.11.    Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 14.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of

-31-

the Loans pursuant to Section 12 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as an LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

2.12.    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

2.13.    Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 90 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 91st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14.    [Reserved].

2.15.    [Reserved].

2.16.    MIRE Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the making, increasing, extension or renewal of any Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance in accordance with Section 9.3(c) hereto and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 3.    Priority and Liens.

3.1.    DIP Liens. Subject to the Carve Out, the Obligations shall be secured by valid, binding, continuing enforceable, fully-perfected, non-avoidable, automatically and properly perfected Liens on, and security interests in (such liens and security interests, the “DIP Liens”), all present and after acquired property (whether tangible, intangible, real, personal or mixed) of the DIP Debtors wherever located, including, without limitation, all accounts, as-extracted collateral, deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, equipment, capital stock in subsidiaries of the DIP Debtors, and the proceeds thereof, investment property, instruments, chattel paper, real estate, leasehold rights and leasehold interests, contracts, patents, copyrights, trademarks and other general intangibles, and all products and proceeds thereof, including proceeds from any directors/officers’ insurance policies, and including (i) to the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights incident or appurtenant to the FCC Licenses and the right to receive all proceeds derived from or in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer of the FCC Licenses, (ii) the C-Band Payments and (iii) the Avoidance Proceeds (all such property, the “DIP Collateral”) as follows:

(a)    Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(2), be secured by a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected first priority senior security interest in and Lien upon all prepetition and postpetition property of the DIP Debtors, whether existing on the Petition Date or thereafter acquired, that, on or as of the Petition Date is not subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable Liens (or perfected after the Petition Date to the extent permitted by Bankruptcy Code section 546(b)), including, without limitation, any unencumbered cash of the DIP Debtors (whether maintained with any Agent or otherwise) and any investment of such cash, accounts, inventory,

(b)    Pursuant to section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully perfected first priority priming security interest and Lien (the “Priming Liens”) on all prepetition and postpetition property of the DIP Debtors of the same nature, scope, and type as the collateral securing the Prepetition Secured Debt (the “Prepetition Collateral”) whether in existence on the Petition Date or thereafter created, acquired, or arising and wherever located, that is subject to any of the Liens securing the obligations under the Prepetition Secured Debt (the “Prepetition Liens”), regardless of whether or not any Prepetition Liens on the assets are voided, avoided, invalidated, lapsed, or unperfected subject only to the Carve Out. The Priming Liens shall prime in all respects the Liens and security interests of the Prepetition Secured Parties, with respect to the Prepetition Secured Debt (including, without limitation, the Prepetition Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens granted to the Prepetition Secured Parties) (the “Primed Liens”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Priming Liens (i) shall be subject and junior to the Carve Out in all respects, (ii) shall be senior in all respects to the Prepetition Liens and (iii) shall also be senior to the Adequate Protection Liens;

(c)    Pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, be secured by a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully perfected junior priority security interest and Lien on all prepetition and postpetition property of the DIP Debtors to the extent that such assets are subject to valid, perfected and unavoidable Liens in favor of third parties that were in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date (other than the Primed Liens), or to valid and unavoidable Liens in favor of third parties that were in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that were perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than Primed Liens), which Liens shall be (a) junior and subordinate to any such valid, perfected, and non-avoidable Liens (other than Primed Liens) in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date and/or (b) any such valid and non-avoidable Liens in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that are perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall limit the rights of the DIP Secured Parties under the DIP Documents to the extent any such Liens are not permitted thereunder; and

(d)    Pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, all of the Obligations shall constitute allowed superpriority administrative expense claims against the DIP Debtors on a joint and several basis (without the need to file any proof of claim) with priority over any and all claims against the DIP Debtors, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, all administrative expenses of the kind specified in sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any and all administrative expenses or other claims (“Administrative Expense Claims”) arising under sections 105, 326, 327, 328, 330, 331, 365, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726, 1113, or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code (including the Adequate Protection Obligations), whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment Lien or other non-consensual Lien, levy, or attachment, which allowed claims (the “DIP Superpriority Claims”) shall for purposes of section 1129(a)(9)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code be considered administrative expenses allowed under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and which DIP Superpriority Claims shall be payable from and have recourse to all prepetition and postpetition property of the DIP Debtors and all proceeds thereof (excluding claims and causes of action under sections 502(d), 544, 545, 547, 548, and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other avoidance actions under the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, “Avoidance Actions”) but including any proceeds or property recovered, unencumbered, or otherwise, from Avoidance Actions, whether by judgment, settlement, or otherwise (“Avoidance Proceeds”)) in accordance with the other DIP Documents, subject only to the Carve Out.

-33-

3.2.    Primed Liens. The Priming Liens (i) shall be subject and junior to the Carve Out in all respects, (ii) shall be senior in all respects to the interests in such property that secures the obligations in respect of the Primed Liens (such holders, as applicable, the “Primed Parties”) and (iii) shall be senior to any Liens granted after the Petition Date to provide adequate protection in respect of any of the Primed Liens. The Primed Liens shall be primed by and made subject and subordinate to the Carve Out and the Priming Liens, but the Priming Liens shall not prime Liens, if any, to which the Prepetition Liens are subject to on the Petition Date (other than Liens which are themselves Prepetition Liens).

3.3.    Lien Priority and Perfection. The relative priorities of the Liens described in this Section 3 with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth in the Final DIP Order and the Security Agreement.

Each prepayment in respect of any tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be applied to reduce Term Loans in such order as the Borrower may determine. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

-36-

5.2.    Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)    Term Loan Prepayments.

(i)    On each occasion that a Prepayment Event (other than a C-Band Prepayment Event) occurs, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the occurrence of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and within five Business Days after the occurrence of any other Prepayment Event and the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Prepayment Event, prepay, in accordance with paragraph (c) below, the principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided that any proceeds received in escrow shall not be deemed to be received for purposes of this Section 5.2(a) until such proceeds are released from escrow.

(ii)    On the tenth Business Day of each month, the Borrower shall, first, reduce the then Available Term Loan Commitment in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the C-Band Sweep Payment from all C-Band Prepayment Events that occurred during the prior month; and second, to the extent the then Available Term Loan Commitment equals zero ($0), prepay the principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the C-Band Sweep Payment from all C-Band Prepayment Events that occurred during the prior month (minus the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of the C-Band Sweep Payment from the applicable C-Band Prepayment Event that shall have reduced the then Available Term Loan Commitments pursuant to the preceding “first” clause), in each case, in accordance with paragraph (c) below; provided that any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in escrow shall not be deemed to be received for purposes of this Section 5.2(a)(ii) until such proceeds are released to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from escrow; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each individual month, making the full amount of any such required commitment reduction or prepayment shall only be required to the extent that, after giving pro forma effect to such commitment reduction and/or prepayment, the Liquidity of the Credit Parties on such date would be greater than or equal to $500,000,000 with such required commitment reduction and/or prepayment amount being reduced for each month to permit the DIP Debtors to maintain pro forma Liquidity of $500,000,000.

(b)    [Reserved].

(c)    Application of Prepayment Amounts. Each prepayment of Term Loans and reduction of Available Term Loan Commitments required by Section 5.2(a) shall be applied pro rata among the Term Loans and the Available Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be. With respect to each such prepayment or commitment reduction, the Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for making such prepayment or commitment reduction, give the Administrative Agent written notice requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment or commitment reduction to each applicable Lender.

(d)    Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(e)    [Reserved].

(f)    LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period thereof so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Obligations; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

-37-

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 14.1), the Borrower shall, give the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments the option to waive their pro rata share of a mandatory repayment of Term Loans or commitment reduction of the Available Term Loan Commitments which is to be made pursuant to Section 5.2 (each such repayment, a “Waivable Mandatory Repayment”) upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Section 5.2(g). In the event that any such Lender with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments desires to waive its pro rata share of such Lender’s right to receive any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date which is two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower thereof), which notice shall also include the amount such Lender desires to receive in respect of such repayment or commitment reduction. If any Lender with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments does not reply to the Administrative Agent within such two Business Day period, such Lender will be deemed not to have waived any part of such repayment or commitment reduction. If any Lender with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments does not specify an amount it wishes to receive, such Lender will be deemed to have accepted 100% of its share of such repayment or commitment reduction. In the event that any such Lender waives all or part of its share of any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment, the Borrower shall retain 100% of the amount so waived by such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more Lenders with outstanding Term Loans waives its right to receive all or any part of any Waivable Mandatory Repayment, but less than all the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments waive in full their right to receive 100% of the total payment or commitment reduction otherwise required with respect to the Term Loans, then the amount actually applied to the repayment of Term Loans or the reduction of the Available Term Loan Commitments of Lenders which have waived all or any part of their right to receive 100% of such repayment or commitment reduction, shall be applied to each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis (so that each Lender with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments shall, after giving effect to the application of the respective repayment or commitment reduction, maintain the same percentage (as determined for such Lender, but not the same percentage that the other Lenders with outstanding Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments hold and not the same percentage held by such Lender prior to repayment or commitment reduction) of each Borrowing of Term Loans or Available Term Loan Commitments which remains outstanding after giving effect to such application). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lenders shall not have the right to waive mandatory repayments or commitment reduction under Section 5.2(a) except as set forth in this Section 5.2(g).

5.3.    Method and Place of Payment.

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

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

-38-

5.4.    Net Payments.

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

(b)    Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes.

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

(d)    A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in a withholding tax imposed under the laws of Luxembourg with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file or deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any certificate or document, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any withholding taxes imposed by a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be required to file or deliver any such certificate or document if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would be disadvantageous to such Lender or would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost.

(e)    If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax (in cash or applied as an offset against other cash tax liabilities) for which a payment has been made by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Credit Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower shall return any such amounts (along with any applicable interest) to the extent that the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender is required to repay any such refund to the applicable taxing authority. A Lender or Administrative Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a

-39-

claim. Neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (e) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

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

5.5.    Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a)    Interest on (x) LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (y) ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b)    Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6.    Limit on Rate of Interest.

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

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

(c)    Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

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

SECTION 6.    Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness on the Closing Date.

9.3.    Maintenance of Insurance.

(a)    The Borrower will, and the Borrower will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times (i) with respect to each Satellite procured by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for which the risk of loss passes to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at or before launch, and for which launch insurance or commitments with respect thereto are not in place as of the Signing Date, launch insurance with respect to each such Satellite covering the launch of such Satellite and a period of time thereafter, but only to the extent, if at all, and on such terms (including coverage period, exclusions, limitations on coverage, co-insurance, deductibles and coverage amount) as is determined by the Borrower to be in the best interests of the Borrower, (ii) with respect to each Satellite it currently owns or for which it has risk of loss (or, if the entire Satellite is not owned, the portion it owns or for which it has risk of loss), other than any Excluded Satellite, In-Orbit Insurance and (iii) at all times subsequent to the coverage period of the launch insurance described in clause (i) above, if any, or if launch insurance is not procured, at all times subsequent to the initial completion of in-orbit testing, in each case with respect to each Satellite it then owns or for which it has risk of loss (or portion, as applicable), other than any Excluded Satellite, In-Orbit Insurance; provided, however, that at any time with respect to a Satellite that is not an Excluded Satellite, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to maintain In-Orbit Insurance in excess of 33% of the aggregate net book value of all in-orbit Satellites (and portions it owns or for which it has risk of loss) insured (it being understood that any Satellite (or portion, as applicable) protected by In-Orbit Contingency Protection shall be deemed to be insured for a percentage of its net book value as set forth in the definition of “In-Orbit Contingency Protection”). In the event that the expiration and non-renewal of In-Orbit Insurance for such a Satellite (or portion, as applicable) resulting from a claim of loss under such policy causes a failure to comply with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with such proviso for the 120 days immediately following such expiration or non-renewal; provided that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, procures such In-Orbit Insurance or provides such In-Orbit Contingency Protection as necessary to comply with such proviso within such 120-day period. In the event of the unavailability of any In-Orbit Contingency Protection for any reason, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall, subject to the first proviso above, within 120 days of such unavailability, be required to have in effect In-Orbit Insurance complying with clause (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, with respect to all Satellites (or portions, as applicable), other than Excluded Satellites that the unavailable In-Orbit Contingency Protection was intended to protect and for so long as such In-Orbit Contingency Protection is unavailable; provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be considered in compliance with this insurance covenant for the 120 days immediately following such unavailability.

(b)    The Borrower will, and the Borrower will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to at all times keep the respective property of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except (x) real or personal property leased or financed through third parties in accordance with this Agreement and (y) satellites) insured in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance (and any general liability, umbrella liability coverage and workers’ compensation insurance (to the extent permitted by law) maintained by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) (i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Agent as certificate holder, mortgagee and loss payee with respect to Real Estate, certificate holder and loss payee with respect to personal property, additional insured with respect to general liability and umbrella liability coverage and (to the extent permitted by law) certificate holder with respect to workers’ compensation insurance), (ii) shall state that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled or materially changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the respective insurer to the Collateral Agent; provided that with respect to any launch insurance or In-Orbit Insurance, such notice is available, and if available, on such terms as may be available, and (iii) shall, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, be deposited with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing

-51-

or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the lender or collateral agent with respect to any ECA Financing may be named as additional insured, mortgagee or loss payee with respect to any insurance covering ECA Collateral which insurance shall not be required to be in accordance with or subject to the terms of this Section 9.3.

(c)    If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the Borrower shall, or shall cause each Credit Party to (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(d)    If the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall fail to maintain all insurance in accordance with this Section 9.3, or if the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall fail to so name the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as an additional insured, mortgagee or loss payee, as the case may be, or so deposit all certificates with respect thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation), upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower of its intention to do so, to procure such insurance on such terms and against such risks as are required hereby, and the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any premium paid therefor.

9.4.    Payment of Taxes. The Borrower will pay and discharge, and the Borrower will cause each of the Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it (in the case of any such Person that is a DIP Debtor under the Cases, solely to the extent arising after the Petition Date), prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax or claim that is (a) being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) with respect to any Person that is a DIP Debtor under the Cases, the nonpayment of such Tax is permitted or required by the Bankruptcy Code.

9.5.    Consolidated Corporate Franchises. The Borrower will do, and the Borrower will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.

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

9.7.    ERISA. Promptly after the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any of the following events that, individually or in the aggregate (including in the aggregate such events previously disclosed or exempt from disclosure hereunder, to the extent the liability therefor remains outstanding), would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will deliver to each of the Lenders a certificate of an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, that the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such ERISA Affiliate is required

-52-

-54-

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to take any such actions pursuant to this Section 9.12 if, and to the extent that, based upon written advice of local counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Backstop Parties, the Borrower and/or such Foreign Subsidiary concludes that the taking of such actions would either (i) violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized or (ii) the cost, burden, difficulty or consequence of taking such actions (taking into account any adverse tax consequences to the Borrower and its Affiliates (including the imposition of withholding or other material taxes)), outweighs the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom; provided further, that if steps (for example, limiting the amount guaranteed) can be taken so that such violation, cost, burden, difficulty or consequence would not exist, then, if requested by the Required Backstop Parties, the respective Foreign Subsidiary shall enter into a modified Guarantee and/or modified Security Documents that provide, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, as many of the benefits as possible as are provided pursuant to the Guarantee and the Security Documents executed and delivered on the Closing Date and taking into account such cost, burden, difficulty or consequence.

-55-

requested by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to grant and perfect such Liens (unless, with respect to any such asset, same is subject to one or more agreements or Liens permitted hereunder which agreements or Lien(s) prohibit the granting of a security interest thereon as contemplated by this clause (b), in which case the actions otherwise required by this Section 9.15(b) with respect to such asset shall not be required to be taken until such prohibitions cease to be applicable) consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.15, all at the expense of the Credit Parties. Any provision contained herein or in the Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral shall not include at any time (i) any FCC License to the extent (but only to the extent) that at such time the Collateral Agent may not validly possess a security interest therein pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect at such time, but the Collateral shall include, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights incident or appurtenant to the FCC Licenses and the right to receive all proceeds derived from or in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer of the FCC Licenses or (ii) Satellites set forth on Schedule 1.1(b), insurance policies thereon and related construction and manufacturing contracts, launch insurance policies (to the extent of coverage for the launch and associated services and any premiums related thereto), launch services agreements (but excluding customer contracts) or proceeds thereof that secure obligations under any ECA Financing (this clause (ii), “ECA Collateral”).

(c)    Each Credit Party organized under the laws of Luxembourg will not own Satellites, orbital slots or hold customer contracts to the extent the Collateral Agent cannot hold a valid and perfected security interest in such property.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Required Lenders reasonably determine (taking into account the existence and effect of the Orders) in their reasonable judgment (confirmed in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the cost or other consequences (including adverse tax and accounting consequences) of creating or perfecting any Lien on any property is excessive in relation to the benefits afforded to the Secured Party thereby, then taking such actions to create or perfect such Lien on such property shall be not be required for all purposes of the Credit Documents.

9.16.    Access and Command Codes.

(a)    The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries, at the request of the Administrative Agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly from each provider (other than the Borrower) of tracking, telemetry, control and monitoring services for any Satellite, consents and agreements with the Administrative Agent to:

(i)    deliver expeditiously to the Administrative Agent, upon notification by the Administrative Agent that an acceleration pursuant to Section 12 has occurred, subject to having obtained any consent or approval of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority for such delivery, all access codes, command codes and command encryption necessary to establish access to and perform tracking, telemetry, control and monitoring of any such Satellite, including activation and control of any spacecraft subsystems and payload components and the transponders thereon;

(ii)    take commercially reasonable steps necessary, upon notification by the Administrative Agent that an acceleration pursuant to Section 12 has occurred, to obtain any consent or approval of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority required to effect any transfer of operational control over any such Satellite and related technical data (including any license approving the export or re-export of such Satellite to any Person or Persons as designated by the Administrative Agent); and

(iii)    deliver to the Administrative Agent written evidence of the issuance of any such consent, approval, registration or filing once such consent, approval, registration or filing has been obtained;

13.10.    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including the enforcement of this Section 13.10), provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 13.10 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

13.11.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at the request of the Borrower,

(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments of all the Lenders and Payment In Full of all Obligations, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document to a Person that is not a Credit Party, (iii) that constitutes “Excluded Property” (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), (iv) that is excluded pursuant to Section 9.15(b), or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 14.1;

(b)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 10.1(A)(f).

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee pursuant to this Section 13.11. In each case as specified in this Section 13.11, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 13.11; provided that such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any foreclosure or similar enforcement action with respect to any of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

13.12.    [Reserved].

-73-

13.13.    [Reserved].

13.14.    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.4, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.14. The agreements in this Section 13.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

13.15.    Lender Representation. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments;

(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (e) and (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (C) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) and (f) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement.

SECTION 14.    Miscellaneous.

14.1.    Amendments and Waivers.

(A)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document (other than the Orders), nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose

-74-

of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall directly (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the stated rate, or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, or amend or modify any provisions of Section 5.3(a) (with respect to the ratable allocation of any payments only) and 14.8(a), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 14.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Required Backstop Parties,” or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of the then current Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in order to permit the incurrence of any financing pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (other than the DIP Facility in the maximum amounts permitted after giving effect to the Final DIP Order) that would be secured by the Collateral (or any portion thereof) on a pari passu or senior basis with the Obligations or that would benefit from any Superpriority Claim in the Cases that is pari passu or senior to the Superpriority Claims with respect to the Obligations as provided in the Orders, without the written consent of each Lender , or (v) [reserved], or (vi) change any Term Loan Commitment to a revolving credit commitment, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantee (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantee) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (viii) amend Section 2.9 so as to permit Interest Period intervals greater than six months without regard to availability to Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to the First Maturity Extension and the Second Maturity Extension, the applicable conditions thereto other than payment of the First Extension Fee and the Second Extension Fee may be amended, supplemented or modified or waived with the written consent of the Required Lenders. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the relevant Credit Parties may amend, supplement or modify the Security Documents to make such ministerial changes as may be required to effect the provisions of Section 10.2(a) without the consent of any Lender so long as such amendments do not adversely affect the Lenders and (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Agent and the relevant Credit Parties may amend, supplement or modify this Agreement or any of the Security Documents and any other document delivered in connection therewith at the request of the

-75-

Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects, (iii) to cause such any such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or (iv) add syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes and references related thereto.

14.2.    Notices. Except as set forth in Section 14.17, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile or electronic mail), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy or electronic mail notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2 and 5.1 shall not be effective until received.

14.3.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

14.4.    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Credit Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

-76-

14.5.    Payment of Expenses and Taxes. Each Credit Party agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents, the Backstop Parties and the Lenders for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions (including the Commitment Reallocation) contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Agents and the Backstop Parties, (b) to pay or reimburse each Backstop Party, Lender and Agent for all its reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Backstop Party, Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement (including this Section 14.5), performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Real Estate (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that such Credit Party shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) disputes among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or their transferees. The agreements in this Section 14.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

14.6.    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 14.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents 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 paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than any Disqualified Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A)    the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (unless increased costs would result therefrom except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or an Approved Fund; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, an assignment pursuant to Section 14.6(b)(i) to any assignee shall be permitted; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

-77-

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Backstop Party may assign its Term Loan Commitment and/or Term Loans to one or more Other Prepetition Secured Parties pursuant to the Commitment Re-allocation, in each case, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(ii)    No Lender may assign any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Sponsors, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates;

(iii)    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 or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of a Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan, $1,000,000), and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

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

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with (other than any assignment in connection with the Commitment Re-allocation) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from two or more Approved Funds; provided further that any such Assignment and Assumption shall include a representation by the assignee that the assignee is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender; and

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

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

(iv)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(vi) of this Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance but subject to paragraph (b)(viii) of this Section 14.6, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6.

-78-

(v)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vii)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(viii)    An assignee Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 in respect of Luxembourg Taxes than the applicable assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Loan sold to the assignee Lender, unless either (1) the assignment of such Loan to such assignee Lender is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (2) such greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 arises solely as the result of a Change in Law following the date on which the assignee becomes a Lender hereunder.

(c)    (1) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section

-79-

14.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 14.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

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

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

(e)    Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f)    Each of the Credit Parties which are incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of articles 1278 to 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation made pursuant to this Agreement, the guarantee given by it guarantees all Obligations (including without limitation, all obligations with respect to all rights and/or obligations so assigned, transferred or novated) and that any security interest created under any Security Document to which it is a party shall be preserved for the benefit of any successor and assign of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Secured Parties.

(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Disqualified Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, if any Lender was a Disqualified Lender at the time of the assignment of any Loans or Commitments to such Lender, following written notice from the Borrower to such Lender and the Administrative Agent: (1) such Lender shall promptly assign all Loans and Commitments held by such Lender to an eligible assignee; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender, (B) the Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrower’s consent and (C) the assignment of such Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, shall be at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees; (2) such Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Credit Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 14.6); provided that (x) the Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender; and (3) no Disqualified Lender is entitled to receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or will be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices or Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

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

(b)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than escrow, payroll, employee health and benefits, pension, fiduciary, 401(K), petty cash, trust and tax accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to

-81-

notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

If any or all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Secured Parties becomes due and payable hereunder, each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Obligations.

-85-

aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. For the avoidance of doubt, each Credit Party expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of articles 1278 to 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation made pursuant to this Agreement, the guarantee given by it guarantees all Obligations (including without limitation, all obligations with respect to all rights and/or obligations so assigned, transferred or novated) and that any security interest created under any Security Document to which it is a party shall be preserved for the benefit of any new Secured Party.

(b)    Each Credit Party further agrees to pay any and all reasonable, document and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Guarantor under this Guarantee.

(c)    Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may, subject to Section 15.12 (Luxembourg Guarantee Limitations) and Section 15.13 (UK Guarantee Limitations), at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(d)    No payment or payments made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full, the Commitments are terminated.

(e)    Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.

15.2.    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15.4 hereof. The provisions of this Section 15.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

15.3.    Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor. Each Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the appropriation and application made by such Secured Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

15.4.    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation and application of funds of any of the Guarantors by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the

-86-

Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Credit Parties on account of the Obligations are Paid In Full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been Paid In Full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

15.5.    Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in while or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Credit Party or any Guarantor or guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent. or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any Guarantor or guarantor or any release of the Borrower or any Guarantor or guarantor shall not relieve any Guarantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Guarantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings

15.6.    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

(a)    Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, contraction, incurrence, renewal, extension, amendment, waiver or accrual of any of the Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee. The Obligations or any of them shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, waived or accrued, in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between any of the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Credit Parties with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Credit Parties against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Credit Party) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any of the Credit Parties for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the

-87-

Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any of the Credit Parties or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any of the Credit Parties or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any of the Credit Parties or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor.

(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until all the Obligations (other than any contingent indemnity obligations not then due) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments thereunder shall be terminated and no Letters of Credit thereunder shall be outstanding, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Hedge Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Obligations.

15.7.    . This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

15.8.    Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Credit Parties now or hereafter owing to any other Credit Party is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Credit Parties owing to the Secured Parties; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Credit Parties to another Credit Party shall be collected, enforced and received by such other Credit Party for the benefit of the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations of such Credit Parties to the Secured Parties, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any Credit Party under the other provisions of this Guarantee.

Exhibit 99.2

Intelsat Undertakes Financial Restructuring to Pave the Way for Future Innovation and Growth

Strengthened Balance Sheet Will Complement Strong Operating Model

Process Intended to Enhance Liquidity to Support Accelerated C-Band Clearing and Continued Investment;

Expected to Result in a Substantial Reduction of Legacy Debt Burden

Commitment Obtained for $1 Billion in Debtor-in-Possession Financing

Service to Customers to Remain at Same Level of Excellence

McLean, VA – May 13, 2020 – Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I) (“Intelsat” or the “Company”), operator of the world’s largest and most advanced satellite fleet and connectivity infrastructure, today announced that it has undertaken a financial restructuring to position the Company for long-term success. The restructuring process is intended to enhance the Company’s liquidity and will likely result in a substantial reduction of Intelsat’s legacy debt burden, allowing for Intelsat to emerge with a strengthened balance sheet to complement its strong operating model and future growth plans.

One of the primary catalysts for restructuring the balance sheet now is Intelsat’s desire to participate in the accelerated clearing of C-band spectrum under the Federal Communications Commission order in support of a build-out of 5G wireless infrastructure in the United States. To meet the FCC’s accelerated clearing deadlines and ultimately be eligible to receive $4.87 billion of accelerated relocation payments, Intelsat needs to spend more than $1 billion on clearing activities. These clearing activities must start immediately, long before costs begin to be reimbursed. The Company is also managing the economic slowdown impacting several of its end markets caused by the COVID-19 global health crisis.

“This is a transformational moment in the history of our company,” said Stephen Spengler, Chief Executive Officer of Intelsat. “Intelsat is the pioneer and foundational architect of the satellite industry. For more than 50 years, we have been respected for quality, innovation, sector leadership, and premium services. Our success has come despite being burdened in recent years by substantial legacy debt. Now is the time to change that. We intend to move forward with the accelerated clearing of C-band spectrum in the United States and to achieve a comprehensive solution that would result in a stronger balance sheet. This will position us to invest and pursue our strategic growth objectives, build on our strengths, and serve the mission-critical needs of our customers with additional resources and wind in our sails.”

To facilitate the financial restructuring, Intelsat and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division. Intelsat General (IGC), which serves the Company’s U.S. commercial, government, and Allied military customers, is not part of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

While it moves as quickly as possible through the restructuring process, Intelsat’s day-to-day operations, engagement with customers and partners, and capital investments will continue as usual. The Company will continue to drive its business forward – launching new satellites, investing in its ground networks, developing new services, and progressing Intelsat’s next generation network and service strategy at full speed. No changes to the Company’s operations or workforce are planned.

Intelsat has secured a commitment for $1 billion of new financing. Subject to Court approval, this debtor-in-possession financing, coupled with significant cash on hand and positive cash flow generated by the business, will provide ample liquidity during the restructuring process to support ongoing operations, fund the substantial upfront C-band clearing costs, and allow the Company to continue investing in the innovations and services that customers need today and in the future.

The Company is filing with the Court a series of customary motions seeking to maintain business-as-usual operations and uphold its commitments to its stakeholders, including employees, customers, and vendors, during the restructuring process. Approval of these “first day” motions, which the Company expects to receive in short order, will help facilitate a smooth transition into the process.

“At the end of this process, we will be on stronger financial footing for the future, further enhancing our industry-leading portfolio of space-based communications services and paving the way for our continued innovation and investments to benefit our customers,” Spengler concluded.
